Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 13, 2018, Masonite International Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release to announce that it intends to offer $300 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “notes”) in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), subject to market and other conditions. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to redeem $125 million aggregate principal amount of its existing 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Existing Senior Notes”), and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses, and the remaining balance for general corporate purposes, which may include funding future acquisitions, the repurchase of the Company’s common shares pursuant to its share repurchase programs and working capital needs. In the event the total size of this offering is increased, the Company intends to redeem additional Existing Senior Notes of a corresponding aggregate principal amount and to further utilize net proceeds from the sale of the notes being offered to fund such redemption and pay related premiums, fees and expenses. Pending the permanent application thereof, the Company may use all or a portion of the net proceeds to reduce amounts outstanding under its senior secured asset-based credit facility. The obligation of the Company to redeem the Existing Senior Notes will be conditioned upon the consummation of this offering of the notes. This Form 8-K does not constitute a notice of redemption of the Existing Senior Notes.
The Company is furnishing the information in this Item 7.01 to comply with Regulation FD. The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
