MONTRÉAL, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Garda World Security Corporation ("GardaWorld" or the "Company"), an entrepreneurial-driven corporation focused on building global champions in security services, AI-enabled security technology, integrated risk management and cash automation solutions, announced today the commencement of a private offering (the "Offering") of an additional US$200 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.250% senior notes due 2032  (the "Notes"). The Notes will rank pari passu with and form part of a single series with GardaWorld's existing US$550 million aggregate principal amount of 8.250% senior notes due 2032 issued on July 25, 2024 (the "Initial Notes"). Concurrently with the Offering, the Company is pursuing a proposed amendment to increase its US$2,338 million term loan due 2029 by an aggregate principal amount of approximately US$300 million (the "Incremental Term Loans" and, together with the Offering, the "Transactions"). The Offering is not conditioned on the completion of the Incremental Term Loans.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and cash on hand (i) for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions, and (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Transactions. Pending such uses, the Company will use such proceeds to repay outstanding amounts on its senior secured revolving credit facility.

The Offering will be made in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in the United States only to investors who are reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers," as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and pursuant to the prospectus exemption of section 12 of the Securities Act (Québec) for distribution of securities to persons established outside Québec, or outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act and upon reliance on the accredited investor prospectus exemption in Canada. The Notes being offered will be fungible with, andtrade under the same CUSIP/ISIN numbers as, the Initial Notes (except that the Notes offered pursuant Regulation S under the Securities Act will trade separately under a different CUSIP/ISIN number than the Initial Notes held through Regulation S under the Securities Act until at least 40 days after the issue date of the New Notes).

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of any of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Notes mentioned herein have not been and will not be qualified for sale to the public under applicable Canadian securities laws and, accordingly, any offer and sale of securities in Canada will be made on a basis which is exempt from the prospectus and dealer registration requirements of such securities laws. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States or Canada without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or an applicable exemption from the prospectus requirements of Canadian securities legislation.
