Masonite International Corporation (NYSE: DOOR) today announced that it increased the size of its previously announced $100 million offering of senior notes to $125 million upon pricing.

The issuance of $125 million aggregate principal amount of 8¼% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the "add-on notes") will constitute an add-on to the $275 million aggregate principal amount of 8¼% Senior Notes due 2021 that were issued on April 15, 2011 and the $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount 8¼% Senior Notes due 2021 issued on March 9, 2012, forming a single series of debt securities.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the add-on notes for general corporate purposes, which may include funding future acquisitions. The add-on notes priced at 108.75% plus accrued interest from October 15, 2013, to yield to worst 5.704%. It is anticipated that settlement of the offering of add-on notes will be completed on January 21, 2014.

The notes and the related guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or any applicable state securities laws, and will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A, and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. Unless so registered, the notes and the related guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
