Core & Main, Inc. (NYSE: CNM) has priced its previously announced offering of $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2034. The notes are being issued by its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Core & Main LP. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about July 1, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. This capital raise allows the company to manage its debt maturity profile while supporting strategic growth initiatives.

Core & Main expects to use the net proceeds from the offering to prepay a portion of its existing senior term loan due July 27, 2028. Remaining funds will be allocated for general corporate purposes, including investment in organic growth, operational initiatives, mergers and acquisitions, and share repurchases. These actions align with the company’s established capital allocation strategy.

The notes will be guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by Core & Main’s direct parent companies, Core & Main Midco, LLC and Core & Main Intermediate GP, LLC. Guarantees will also be provided by any future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that become borrowers under or guarantors of Core & Main’s existing senior secured credit facilities.

The offering was made to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S. The notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption.
