VERNON HILLS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 16, 2024-- CDW Corporation (“CDW”) today announced the pricing terms of its previously announced cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the outstanding 4.125% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “4.125% Notes”) issued by CDW LLC and CDW Finance Corporation (the “Issuers”).

As previously announced, CDW is also offering $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the outstanding 5.500% due 2024 (the “5.500% Notes” and, together with the 4.125% Notes, the “Notes”) validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to CDW’s cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the outstanding 5.500% Notes.

The consideration offered per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable offers is set forth in the table below:

The consideration offered per $1,000 principal amount of 4.125% Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the offer therefor was determined by the Joint Dealer Managers in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread plus the yield based on the bid-side price of the Treasury Reference Security as quoted on the Bloomberg Reference Page at 2:00 p.m., New York City time on August 16, 2024, all as specified in the table above.

The tender offers for both series of the Notes will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 16, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”). Holders who have validly tendered their Notes may withdraw such Notes at any time at or prior to the Expiration Time. The Guaranteed Delivery Date is August 20, 2024. CDW expects to pay the applicable consideration for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Time on August 22, 2024, the second business day following the Guaranteed Delivery Date (the “Settlement Date”). The tender offers are conditioned upon satisfaction of certain conditions, but are not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered.

The complete terms and conditions of the tender offers are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 12, 2024 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, along with any amendments and supplements thereto, which holders are urged to read carefully before making any decision with respect to the tender offers.
