Other Events.

Notes Offering

On March 2, 2021, Owens & Minor, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release to announce the launch of its offer to sell $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in a private offering (the “Offering”) to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering, together with expected borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and the Amended Receivables Securitization Facility (as defined below), to fund the repurchase or repayment in full of the following outstanding debt, and to pay related fees, costs, and expenses in connection therewith: (i) outstanding borrowings under its Term B Loan (the “Term B Loan”) provided under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of July 27, 2017 (as amended, modified, extended, restated, replaced, or supplemented from time to time) among the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and a syndicate of financial institutions, including Citibank, N.A (“Existing Credit Agreement”) and (ii) outstanding borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility (the “Existing Revolving Credit Facility”) provided under the Existing Credit Agreement. Any remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. A copy of the press release is filed hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy or an offer to purchase or sell any securities. No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offer, or solicitation to buy, if at all, will be made only by means of a confidential offering memorandum. This Current Report does not constitute a notice of repayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s Existing Revolving Credit Facility or a notice of repayment of its Term B Loan, and any repayment of the Term B Loan and the Existing Revolving Credit Facility will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement.

New Credit Facilities

Concurrently with this offering, the Company has also launched a syndication process pursuant to which it will seek to obtain commitments (i) to enter into a new credit agreement for a new revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount anticipated to be up to $300 million and (ii) amend its existing receivables securitization facility to provide for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount anticipated to be up to $450 million (the “Amended Receivables Securitization Facility” and, together with the New Revolving Credit Facility, the “New Credit Facilities”). The amount and other terms and conditions of the New Credit Facilities have not been finalized and are therefore subject to change. While the New Credit Facilities are conditioned upon the completion of the Offering, the Offering is not conditioned on entering into the New Credit Facilities.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although we believe our expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied by these statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report include, but are not limited to, statements related to the Offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, and the entry into, and borrowings under the Company’s New Credit Facilities. Unless legally required, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
