McGraw Hill Announces Launch of its Initial Public Offering

McGraw Hill, Inc. (“McGraw Hill”) today announced the launch of its initial public offering of 24,390,000 shares of its common stock (the “Common Stock”) offered by McGraw Hill. The initial public offering price is expected to be between $19.00 and $22.00 per share. McGraw Hill 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 identified in the registration statement expects to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,658,500 shares (solely to cover over-allotments, if any) of McGraw Hill’s Common Stock at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. McGraw Hill 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.

McGraw Hill has applied to list its Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MH.”

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is acting as book-running manager for the proposed offering and as representative of the underwriters for the proposed offering. BMO Capital Markets, J.P. Morgan, Macquarie Capital, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank Securities, and UBS Investment Bank, are acting as bookrunners for the proposed offering. Baird, BTIG, Needham & Company, Rothschild & Co, Stifel, and William Blair are acting as co-managers for the proposed offering.

The proposed offering will be made only by means of a prospectus. Copies of the preliminary prospectus relating to the proposed offering may be obtained from: Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Attn: Prospectus Department, 200 West Street, New York, NY 10282 (Tel: 866-471-2526) or by e-mail at prospectus-ny@ny.email.gs.com.

A registration statement relating to the Common Stock has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. The Common Stock may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.

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