New Issue: USG People raises €230 million from private placement of stock

By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Sept. 27 - USG People NV has completed a private placement with a fully exercised over-allotment option for €230 million.

The company sold a total of 8,614,233 shares at €26.70 each, including an over-allotment option exercised by placement agents ING Wholesale Banking and Rabo Securities for 15% of the original offering.

Hovu Beheer NV, USG's major shareholder, bough 1.7 million of the shares.

The deal was announced earlier Tuesday as a €200 million offering without the exercise of the greenshoe.

Proceeds from the deal will be used to finance its acquisition of Solvus NV, repay part of a bridge facility and repay part of Solvus' existing debt.

The offering is expected to close Sept. 30.

USG People said it plans to launch a €100 million convertible bond issue soon. The details of the bond deal have not yet been released.

Based in Almere, Amsterdam, USG People is a staffing company.
