Leslie’s, Inc. Announces Secondary Offering of Shares and Concurrent Stock Repurchase
December 14 2021 - 4:52PM
Leslie’s, Inc. (the “Company” or “Leslie’s”) (Nasdaq: LESL) today
announced that certain of the Company’s non-management stockholders
(the “Selling Stockholders”) intend to offer for sale in an
underwritten secondary offering 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock (the “Offering”). The Selling Stockholders will also
grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an
additional 1,875,000 shares of common stock. The Selling
Stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the Offering.
Leslie’s is not offering any shares of its common stock in the
Offering and will not receive any proceeds from the Offering,
including from any exercise by the underwriters of their option to
purchase additional shares.
In addition, the Company announced that it has entered into a
share repurchase agreement with the Selling Stockholders pursuant
to which it intends to repurchase an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares
of the Company's common stock from the Selling Stockholders (the
"Share Repurchase"). The price per share to be paid by the Company
will be equal to the price per share paid by the underwriters for
the shares in the Offering. The Share Repurchase is expected to be
consummated concurrently with the closing of the Offering. Although
the Share Repurchase will be conditioned upon, among other things,
the closing of the Offering, the closing of the Offering will not
be conditioned upon the closing of the Share Repurchase.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley are acting as the
underwriters for the Offering.

a prospectus) relating to these securities became effective upon
