Chewy, Inc. Announces Pricing of Upsized Offering of Class A Common Stock by Selling Stockholder and Concurrent Repurchase
PLANTATION, Fla., June 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chewy, Inc. (NYSE: CHWY) ("Chewy"), a trusted destination for pet parents and partners everywhere, announced today the pricing of an upsized underwritten public offering of 23,952,096 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, by Buddy Chester Sub LLC (the "Selling Stockholder"), which is an entity affiliated with funds advised by BC Partners PE, LP ("BC Partners"), Chewy's largest shareholder, at a price to the public of $41.95 per share (the "Offering"). The Selling Stockholder granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,592,815 shares of Class A common stock. Chewy will not sell any shares of its Class A common stock in the Offering and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Class A common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholder. In addition, as previously announced, concurrent with the closing of the Offering, Chewy has agreed to purchase from the Selling Stockholder $100.0 million of Chewy's Class A common stock at a price per share equal to the per share purchase price to be paid by the underwriter in the Offering (the "Concurrent Repurchase"). The Concurrent Repurchase was approved by a special committee of Chewy's Board of Directors, consisting solely of independent directors not affiliated with BC Partners. The repurchased shares will be cancelled and retired upon completion of the Concurrent Repurchase. The Concurrent Repurchase is being executed separately from the Company's existing $500 million share repurchase program authorized on May 24, 2024, which will be unaffected by this transaction. We expect the closing of the Concurrent Repurchase to occur substantially concurrently with the closing of this offering. The Offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the Concurrent Repurchase, but the Concurrent Repurchase is conditioned upon the closing of the Offering. Prior to the Offering and Concurrent Repurchase, Chewy had approximately 196 million shares of Class A common stock and 220 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding. If the Offering and Concurrent Repurchase are completed (assuming no exercise of the underwriter's option to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock), Chewy will have approximately 219 million shares of Class A common stock and approximately 193 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The Offering and Concurrent Repurchase are expected to close by June 25, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. J.P. Morgan is acting as the sole underwriter for the Offering. Chewy has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the Offering. A preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the Offering will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC's website.
