Other Events.
 
On November 19, 2018, Post Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it intends to commence a private offering to eligible purchasers, subject to market and other conditions, of approximately $400.0 million of a newly created series of convertible preferred stock, to be designated as its Series D Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Company expects to grant the initial purchasers of the Preferred Stock a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $60.0 million in shares of Preferred Stock. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of its existing term loan, which will expand capacity for cash acquisitions and opportunistic common share repurchases.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
A copy of the press release issued in connection therewith is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
