US Foods Announces Secondary Public Offering of Common Stock and Concurrent Share Repurchase

US Foods Holding Corp. (NYSE:USFD) (“US Foods”) today announced the commencement of an underwritten registered secondary offering of 17,425,053 shares of its common stock by KKR Fresh Holdings L.P. (the “Selling Stockholder”), substantially all of which will consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of 371,044 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Selling Stockholder. US Foods will not receive any proceeds from the sale of its common stock by the Selling Stockholder in the offering.

Morgan Stanley is acting as the sole underwriter for the offering.

In addition, US Foods intends to repurchase approximately $150,000,000 of the shares of common stock being offered in the offering at the same per share price to be paid by the underwriter to the Selling Stockholder in the offering, inclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Concurrent Share Repurchase”). The Concurrent Share Repurchase is conditioned upon the completion of the offering and therefore there can be no assurance that the Concurrent Share Repurchase will be completed. The offering is not conditioned upon the completion of the Concurrent Share Repurchase.

The offering will be made only by means of an effective registration statement, a prospectus supplement and an accompanying prospectus. US Foods has filed a registration statement (including a base prospectus) on Form S-3 and a preliminary prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), for the offering to which this communication relates. The registration statement automatically became effective on May 5, 2021. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement, the prospectus supplement and other documents US Foods has filed with the SEC for more complete information about US Foods and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, a copy of the prospectus supplement relating to the offering may be obtained by contacting: Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, 180 Varick Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10014, Attention: Prospectus Department.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities law of any such state or jurisdiction.
