BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Savers Value Village, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: SVV), the largest for-profit thrift operator in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada for value priced pre-owned clothing, accessories and household goods, today announced the commencement of a proposed secondary public offering (the “Offering”) of 15,000,000 shares of its common stock offered by certain funds, investment vehicles or accounts managed or advised by Ares Management LLC or its affiliates (the “Ares Selling Stockholders”) and the chief executive officer of the Company (the “Management Selling Stockholder” and, together with the Ares Selling Stockholders, the “Selling Stockholders”). As part of the Offering, the Ares Selling Stockholders also intend to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount. In addition, the Company has authorized the concurrent purchase from the underwriters of $20.0 million of the shares of common stock as part of the Offering, at a price per share equal to the price per share to be paid by the underwriters to the Selling Stockholders (the “Concurrent Share Repurchase”).

The Company is not selling any shares of its common stock in this offering and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholders. J.P. Morgan, Jefferies, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and UBS Investment Bank are acting as the joint book-running managers and underwriters for the offering.

As a result, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the impact on both the supply and demand for the Company’s products caused by general economic conditions, such as the macroeconomic pressures in Canada and/or the U.S., and changes in consumer confidence and spending; the Company’s ability to anticipate consumer demand and to source and process a sufficient quantity of quality secondhand items at attractive prices on a recurring basis; risks related to attracting new, and retaining existing customers, including by increasing acceptance of secondhand items among new and growing customer demographics; risks associated with its status as a “brick and mortar” only retailer and its lack of operations in the growing online retail marketplace; its failure to open new profitable stores, or successfully enter new markets on a timely basis or at all; the risks associated with conducting business internationally, including challenges related to serving customers that are international manufacturers and suppliers, such as transportation and shipping challenges, regulatory risks in foreign jurisdictions (particularly in Canada, where the Company maintains extensive operations) and exchange rate risks, which the Company may not choose to fully hedge; the loss of, or disruption or interruption in the operations of, its centralized processing centers and other offsite processing locations; risks associated with litigation, the expense of defense, and the potential for adverse outcomes; its failure to properly hire and to retain key personnel and other qualified personnel or to manage labor costs; risks associated with the timely and effective deployment, protection, and defense of computer networks and other electronic systems, including e-mail; changes in government regulations, procedures and requirements; its ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls and produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations; risks associated with heightened geopolitical instability due to the conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe; outbreak of viruses or widespread illness, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters or other highly disruptive events and regulatory responses thereto; and each of the other factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in its filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
