Ingram Micro Announces Pricing of Its Initial Public Offering

Ingram Micro Holding Corporation (“Ingram Micro”) today announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 18,600,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $22.00 per share (the “Common Stock”). The offering consists of 11,600,000 shares of Common Stock offered by Ingram Micro and 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be sold by certain of Ingram Micro’s existing stockholders identified in the registration statement. Ingram Micro will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholder.

Ingram Micro will receive net proceeds of approximately $233.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses and intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its term loan credit facility.

In addition, the selling stockholder has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,790,000 shares (solely to cover over-allotments, if any) of its Common Stock at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. Ingram Micro will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholder if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock.
