Sally Beauty Commences Tender Offers for Senior Notes

DENTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SBH) announced today that its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries Sally Holdings LLC and Sally Capital Inc. (collectively, “Sally Beauty”) have commenced cash tender offers (the “Tender Offers”) to purchase up to $100,000,000 in aggregate purchase price (as it may be increased by Sally Beauty, the “Tender Cap”) of their outstanding 5.625 percent Senior Notes due 2025 and 5.500 percent Senior Notes due 2023 (collectively, the “Notes”).

The terms and conditions of the Tender Offers are described in an Offer to Purchase, dated February 19, 2019 (the “Offer to Purchase”). Sally Beauty intends to fund the Tender Offers with cash on hand and borrowings under its asset-based revolving credit facility.

The following table sets forth certain terms of the Tender Offers:

________________________________

The Tender Offers will expire at midnight, New York City time, at the end of March 18, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated by Sally Beauty (the “Expiration Date”). No tenders submitted after the Expiration Date will be valid.

Holders of Notes that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 4, 2019 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Early Tender Date”) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will receive the applicable Total Consideration for such series, which includes the early tender payment for such series of Notes set forth in the table above (with respect to each series of Notes, the “Early Tender Payment”). Holders of Notes tendering their Notes after the Early Tender Date will only be eligible to receive the applicable tender offer consideration for such series of Notes set forth in the table above (with respect to each series of Notes, the “Tender Offer Consideration”), which is the applicable Total Consideration less the Early Tender Payment.

All Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will receive the applicable consideration set forth in the table above, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the applicable last interest payment date with respect to those Notes to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date (as defined below) (“Accrued Interest”).

Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 4, 2019, unless extended by Sally Beauty (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Withdrawal Date”), but not thereafter. Holders of Notes who tender their Notes after the Withdrawal Date, but prior to the Expiration Date, may not withdraw their tendered Notes unless withdrawal rights are otherwise required by applicable law.

Provided that the conditions to the applicable Tender Offer have been satisfied or waived, and assuming acceptance for purchase by Sally Beauty of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offers, (i) payment for applicable Notes validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Tender Date and purchased in the applicable Tender Offer shall be made on the settlement date that is expected to be the second business day following the applicable Early Tender Date, or as promptly as practicable thereafter (with respect to each series of Notes, the “Early Settlement Date”) and (ii) payment for any applicable Notes validly tendered after the applicable Early Tender Date, but at or prior to the applicable Expiration Date, and purchased in the applicable Tender Offer shall be made on the settlement date that is expected to be the second business day following the applicable Expiration Date, or as promptly as practicable thereafter (with respect to each series of Notes, the “Final Settlement Date” and, together with the related Early Settlement Date, the “Settlement Dates”).

Subject to the Tender Cap, the 2023 Series Cap and proration, the Notes accepted on any Settlement Date will be accepted in accordance with their Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table above, with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 2 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level, and provided further that Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase with priority over Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date, but at or prior to the Expiration Date, regardless of the priority of the series of such later tendered Notes. In addition, no more than $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes will be purchased in the Tender Offers (as it may be increased by Sally Beauty, the “2023 Series Cap”).

Acceptance for tenders of any Notes may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount for any series of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Tender Cap to be exceeded. Acceptance for tenders of the 2023 Notes may also be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of the specified series of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn is greater than the 2023 Series Cap. Furthermore, if the Tender Offers are fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Date, holders who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase and there will be no Final Settlement Date.

Sally Beauty reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the Tender Cap and/or the 2023 Series Cap at any time, subject to compliance with applicable law, which could result in Sally Beauty purchasing a greater aggregate principal amount of Notes in the Offers. There can be no assurance that Sally Beauty will increase the Tender Cap or the 2023 Series Cap. If Sally Beauty increases the Tender Cap and/or the 2023 Series Cap, it does not expect to extend the Withdrawal Date, subject to applicable law. Accordingly, Holders should not tender Notes that they do not wish to have purchased in the Offers.

The consummation of the Tender Offers is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered. However, the Tender Offers are subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. The offer is being made solely pursuant to terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

The dealer manager for the Tender Offers is BofA Merrill Lynch (the “Dealer Manager”). Any questions regarding the terms of the Tender Offers should be directed to the Dealer Manager, BofA Merrill Lynch at (toll-free) 888-292-0070 or (collect) 980-388-3646.
