6.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027
On May 30,
2019 (the “Closing Date”), Builders FirstSource, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”), completed the previously announced sale of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.750% senior secured notes due 2027
(the “Notes”) at an issue price of 100.0% (the “Notes Offering”).
Net proceeds from the Notes Offering were used to repay a portion
of the funds drawn under the Company’s existing term loan credit facility, to repurchase approximately $97 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “Existing
Notes”) from certain beneficial owners in open market transactions and to pay related transaction fees and expenses. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. Certain beneficial owners of the
Company’s Existing Notes have purchased Notes in the Notes Offering.
The Notes were issued and sold in a private transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in and in accordance with Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, and to
non-U.S.
persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be
registered under the Securities Act and the Notes and the related guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. This Current Report

solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
Indenture
The terms of the Notes are governed by the indenture, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors named therein
and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and as notes collateral agent (the “Notes Collateral Agent”).

The Notes bear interest at a rate
of 6.750% and mature on June 1, 2027. Interest is payable on the Notes on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2019.
Guarantees and Security
The Notes, subject to certain
exceptions, are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis, by certain of the Company’s direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). All obligations under the Notes, and the guarantees of those
obligations, will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, including a first-priority security interest in such assets that constitute Notes Collateral (as

the First-Lien Facility.
