Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. BECN ("Beacon") announced today the pricing of its underwritten public offering of 6,325,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $47.50 per share. In addition, Beacon has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 948,750 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price. The offering is expected to close on September 25, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Beacon expects to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with the net proceeds of the previously announced committed convertible preferred equity financing from an entity affiliated with the investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC and the proposed debt financing, to finance the previously announced acquisition (the "Allied Acquisition") of Allied Building Products Corp. ("Allied") and to pay related fees and expenses. Subsequent to the offering, Beacon expects to reduce the amount of the committed convertible preferred equity financing to a minimum of $400.0 million and to use any remaining net proceeds from the offering to reduce the amount of borrowings incurred in its proposed debt financing. The offering is not contingent on the completion of the Allied Acquisition. If the Allied Acquisition is not completed, Beacon expects to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include strategic acquisitions or the repayment of existing debt.

Citigroup and Wells Fargo Securities are serving as joint book-running managers and as representatives of the underwriters for the offering. BofA Merrill Lynch, RBC Capital Markets and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey are also serving as joint book-running managers of the offering, and Baird, C.L. King & Associates, Raymond James, Seaport Global Securities and William Blair are serving as co-managers.

The offering is being made pursuant to Beacon's effective shelf statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The offering is being made only by means of a prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, which have been filed with the SEC and are available on the SEC's website, located at http://www.sec.gov.
