On June 2, 2016, WESCO International, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, WESCO Distribution, Inc., commenced a private offering of senior notes, and then on the same date, the Company announced that WESCO Distribution, Inc. priced its offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). The Notes are being offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will be guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by the Company. The Notes and the Guarantee 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 registration requirements.
