Item 8.01.    Other Events.
On January 28, 2015, Post Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the pricing of its previously announced common stock offering of 6,500,000 shares at $47.50 per share. In addition, the size of the common stock offering was increased from $240 million in shares of the Company’s common stock to $308.75 million in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 975,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The common stock offering is expected to close on February 3, 2015, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed common stock offering, together with cash on hand and up to $700 million of new term loan borrowings, to fund the cash portion of the previously announced acquisition of MOM Brands Company (“MOM Brands”) and to pay related costs, fees and expenses. The final structure and terms of the acquisition financing will be subject to market and other conditions, and may be materially different than current expectations.
The offering is not contingent on the consummation of the acquisition of MOM Brands, and in the event the acquisition does not close, all of the proceeds of the common stock offering would be used for general corporate purposes, which could include, among other things, prepayment of outstanding debt, financing additional acquisition opportunities, working capital and capital expenditures.
A copy of the press release issued in connection with the pricing of the offerings is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
