Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (NYSE: BAH) (“Booz Allen”) announced the commencement of a private offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “Notes”) by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (the “Issuer”). Each of the Issuer’s existing and future restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Issuer’s obligations under its senior credit facility and certain other indebtedness (the “Guarantors”) will guarantee the Notes on a senior unsecured basis. There can be no assurance that the proposed offering of Notes will be completed.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to fund the acquisition of Liberty IT Solutions, LLC (the “Acquisition”) and to pay related fees and expenses. The closing of the Acquisition is not contingent on the receipt of any financing, including from the sale of the Notes, and may occur prior to the closing of the offering. If the Acquisition is not consummated, the Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Notes and the guarantees will be offered in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes and the guarantees will be offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and in offshore transactions to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S, each under the Securities Act.

The Notes and the 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 from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.
