Launch of £425 million Senior Secured Notes offering

Miller Homes Group Holdings plc (the “Issuer”) announces the offer of £425 million senior secured Notes, consisting of Fixed Rate Notes and Floating Rate Notes (the “Notes”) in connection with the acquisition of Miller Homes Holdings Limited (“Miller Homes”), one of the largest privately owned UK housebuilders by number of completions. The Fixed Rate Notes will have a maturity of 7 years and the Floating Rate Notes will have a maturity of 6years and both will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Issuer, Miller Homes and Miller Homes Limited (the “Guarantees”). Upon completion of the acquisition, the Notes and the Guarantees will be secured on a first-priority basis by security interests in the share capital of the Issuer, Miller Homes and Miller Homes Limited, certain intragroup loans, the rights of the Issuer under the sale purchase agreement, a floating charge over all of the assets of the Issuer (subject to certain exceptions) and a floating charge over certain assets of Miller Homes and Miller Homes Limited.

The proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes will be deposited into an escrow account. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions related to the acquisition, the proceeds will be used to partially fund, along with equity funding from the purchasers, the acquisition of Miller Homes and associated transaction costs.
