Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 24, 2020, The Home Depot, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed the previously announced acquisition of HD Supply Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HD Supply”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 15, 2020, by and among the Company, Coronado Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and HD Supply.

As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, on November 24, 2020, Merger Sub commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of HD Supply at a price of $56.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to any required withholding of taxes.

The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on Wednesday, December 23, 2020 (the “Expiration Time”). The depositary agent for the Offer has advised the Company that, as of the Expiration Time, a total of 127,928,897 Shares had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer, representing approximately 82.9% of the outstanding Shares. The number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the condition to the Offer that there be validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer a number of Shares that, together with all other Shares (if any) beneficially owned by the Company and its affiliates, represent a majority of the Shares outstanding at the expiration of the Offer (determined on a fully diluted basis (which assumes conversion or exercise of all derivative securities regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof)). All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied or waived, the Company and Merger Sub accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

On December 24, 2020, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, Merger Sub merged with and into HD Supply (the “Merger”), and HD Supply survived the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares owned by the Company, Merger Sub or HD Supply, or by any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, and Shares held by stockholders of HD Supply who were entitled to demand and who had properly and validly demanded their statutory rights of appraisal and had neither withdrawn nor lost such rights prior to the Effective Time) was converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, net to the holder thereof, in cash, without interest thereon.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby as set forth in this Item 2.01 does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 18, 2020 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1

THE HOME DEPOT COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF HD SUPPLY

Dec 24, 2020

ATLANTA, Dec. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Home Depot®, the world’s largest home improvement retailer, has completed the acquisition of HD Supply Holdings, Inc., for a total enterprise value (including net cash) of approximately $8 billion. HD Supply is a leading national distributor of maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) products in the multifamily and hospitality end markets. The agreement to acquire HD Supply was announced on November 16, 2020.

“We’re thrilled to welcome HD Supply associates to The Home Depot,” said Craig Menear, chairman and CEO of The Home Depot. “The combination of the two businesses will enable us to better serve both existing and new MRO customers, and I look forward to the value this acquisition will bring to our associates, customers and shareholders.”

1/4

The acquisition of HD Supply is expected to position The Home Depot as a premier provider in a highly fragmented MRO marketplace, which the company estimates to be approximately $55 billion. HD Supply complements The Home Depot’s existing MRO business with a robust product offering and value-added service capabilities, an experienced salesforce, and an extensive, MRO-specific distribution network throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of HD Supply expired at midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on December 23, 2020. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depository and paying agent for the tender offer, advised The Home Depot that as of the tender offer expiration, a total of 127,928,897 shares had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 82.9% of the outstanding shares. All of the conditions of the offer have been satisfied and The Home Depot and its subsidiary Coronado Acquisition Sub Inc. have accepted for payment for $56 per share in cash, without interest, subject to any required withholding taxes, all shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and will promptly pay for all such shares. Following its acceptance of the tendered shares, The Home Depot completed the acquisition of HD Supply through a merger of Coronado Acquisition Sub Inc. with and into HD Supply. As a result of the merger, HD Supply became a wholly owned subsidiary of The Home Depot. In connection with the merger, all HD Supply shares not validly tendered (other than shares held by The Home Depot, Coronado Acquisition Sub Inc., HD Supply or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries and shares held by stockholders of HD Supply who have perfected their statutory appraisal rights) have been cancelled and converted into the right to receive the same $56 in cash (without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes) as will be paid for all HD Supply shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn.

About The Home Depot

The Home Depot is the world’s largest home improvement specialty retailer, with 2,295 retail stores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico.
