Ryan Specialty, LLC Upsizes and Prices $600 Million of Senior Secured Notes

CHICAGO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RYAN) (“Ryan Specialty”), a leading international specialty insurance firm, today announced that Ryan Specialty, LLC (the “Company”), an indirect subsidiary of Ryan Specialty, priced an offering of $600 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) in a private offering, which represents an increase of $100 million from the previously announced aggregate offering size. The Notes were priced at 100% of par. The sale of the Notes is expected to be completed on September 19, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes will be jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly owned subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under its credit agreement. The Notes will not be guaranteed by Ryan Specialty. Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes will be secured on a first-lien basis by substantially all of the assets that secure the Company’s existing notes and its senior secured term loan and senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Company will use the net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility that were used, together with cash on hand, to fund the acquisition of US Assure Insurance Services of Florida, Inc., and to pay fees and expenses related to this offering.

The Notes are being offered to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or other jurisdiction’s securities laws. Accordingly, the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act and any applicable state or other jurisdiction’s securities laws.

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