Wayfair Announces Proposed Offering of $700 Million Senior Secured Notes

BOSTON, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Wayfair Inc. (NYSE: W) (the “Company,” “we” or “Wayfair”) today announced that its subsidiary, Wayfair LLC (the “Issuer”), intends to oﬀer, subject to market and other conditions, $700 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in a private oﬀering.

We intend to use the net proceeds from the Notes oﬀering, together with cash on hand, for the repayment of certain of Wayfair’s existing convertible senior notes and general corporate purposes.

The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by Wayfair and certain Wayfair domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Issuer’s senior secured revolving credit facility. The Notes and related guarantees will be secured on a first-priority basis by liens on the same assets that secure the Issuer’s senior secured revolving credit facility.

The Notes and related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and will not be oﬀered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Notes are being oﬀered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualiﬁed institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an oﬀer to sell or a solicitation of an oﬀer to buy any securities. Any oﬀer of the Notes and related guarantees is not being made to any person in any jurisdiction in which the oﬀer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. This press release also shall not constitute an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to sell, or notice of redemption with respect to any of Wayfair’s outstanding convertible notes.
