Summary of Business Activities

Business Overview

Performance Food Group Company, through its subsidiaries, markets and distributes primarily national and company-branded food and food-related products to customer locations across the United States. The Company serves both of the major customer types in the restaurant industry: (i) independent customers, and (ii) multi-unit, or “Chain” customers, which include some of the most recognizable family and casual dining restaurant chains, as well as schools, business and industry locations, healthcare facilities, and business and industry locations. The Company also specializes in distributing candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, other tobacco products and other items nationally to vending distributors, big box retailers, theaters, convenience stores, and hospitality providers.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 13, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) authorized a share repurchase program for up to $250 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be amended, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The share repurchase program remains subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors. No shares have been repurchased during fiscal year 2020. During the three months ended December 29, 2018, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 0.2 million shares of common stock for a total of $5.2 million. As of December 28, 2019, approximately $240.7 million remained available for additional share repurchases.

Equity Forward

On November 20, 2019, Performance Food Group Company entered into an underwriting agreement related to the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 10,120,000 shares of its common stock, and up to 1,518,000 additional shares at the underwriters’ option, in each case on a forward sale basis. On November 22, 2019, the full option to purchase the 1,518,000 shares of additional common stock shares on a forward basis was exercised by the underwriters, and, on November 25, 2019, the Company closed the offering. The forward sale transaction is classified as an equity transaction, because it is indexed to the Company’s common stock and physical settlement is within the Company’s control. As of December 28, 2019, no amounts have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements with respect to the equity offering. On December 30, 2019, the Company physically settled the forward sale agreement at the forward sale price of $42.70 per share, net of the underwriting discount. The aggregate offering price of the amount of newly issued common stock was $514.9 million. In connection with the offering, the Company paid the underwriters a discount of $1.55 per share, for a total underwriting discount of $18.0 million. In addition, the Company incurred direct offering expenses of $5.9 million. The Company used the $491.0 million net proceeds that it received from the common stock offering to finance the cash consideration payable in connection with the Reinhart acquisition.
