HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- J.B. Poindexter & Co., Inc. (the ?Company?), a privately-held company, today announced that it intends to offer $200 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2031 (the ?New 2031 Notes?) in a private offering. The New 2031 Notes, if issued, will form a single series with, and have the same terms as, the Company?s outstanding 8.750% senior notes due 2031 that were previously issued on December 18, 2023 (other than with respect to the issue price and the issue date). The New 2031 Notes will be guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The offering of the New 2031 Notes is subject to market and other conditions.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering (i) to pay related fees and expenses and (ii) to repay the Company?s $175 million bridge credit facility. The Company intends to use any remaining net proceeds to repay the Company?s asset-based lending facility.

The New 2031 Notes will be offered by the initial purchasers only to persons reasonably believed to be ?qualified institutional buyers? in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ?Securities Act?), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The New 2031 Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the New 2031 Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
