PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To Prospectus dated September 15, 2023)
15,852,886 shares
Chewy, Inc.
Class A Common Stock
The selling securityholder identified in this prospectus supplement (the “Selling Securityholder”) is offering 15,852,886 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of Chewy, Inc. (“Chewy” or the “Company”). We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock by the Selling Securityholder.
We have two classes of common stock: Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical, except with respect to voting, conversion and transfer rights. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes and is convertible at any time into one share of Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “CHWY.” On December 10, 2024, the last reported sale price of Class A Common Stock on the NYSE was $31.37 per share.
The underwriter has agreed to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock from the Selling Securityholder at a price of $31.32 per share, which will result in approximately $496.5 million of aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholder before expenses. The shares of Class A Common Stock may be offered by the underwriter from time to time to purchasers directly or through agents, or through brokers in brokerage transactions on the NYSE, or to dealers in negotiated transactions or in a combination of such methods of sale, at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. See “Underwriting.”
Pursuant to a privately negotiated agreement between us and the Selling Securityholder, we have separately agreed to purchase from the Selling Securityholder $50 million of shares of Class A Common Stock in a private transaction at a price per share equal to the per share price at which the underwriter will purchase the Class A Common Stock from the Selling Securityholder in this offering (the “Concurrent Repurchase”). Accordingly, we expect to repurchase 1,596,424 shares of Class A Common Stock in the Concurrent Repurchase transaction upon the closing of this offering and the Concurrent Repurchase. The underwriter will not receive any fee or commission with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock being purchased by us pursuant to the Concurrent Repurchase. The Concurrent Repurchase was approved by a special committee of the Company’s board of directors, consisting solely of independent and disinterested directors not affiliated with the BCP Stockholder Parties (as defined below), and is being executed separately from the Company’s existing $500 million share repurchase program authorized on May 24, 2024, which will be unaffected by this transaction. The Concurrent Repurchase is expected to be consummated concurrently with this offering. This offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the Concurrent Repurchase, but the Concurrent Repurchase is conditioned upon the closing of this offering. See “Selling Securityholder” beginning on page S-11.
The Selling Securityholder and certain of its affiliates (together, the “BCP Stockholder Parties”) are, when aggregated, currently our majority stockholders. If this offering and the Concurrent Repurchase are completed, the BCP Stockholder Parties will retain 229,076,493 shares of our Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), or approximately 56.3% of our total outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 92.8% of the combined voting power of our common stock, after giving effect to this offering and the Concurrent Repurchase (or approximately 55.7% of our total outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 92.6% of the combined voting power of our common stock, if the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares as described below is exercised in full). Upon completion of this offering and the Concurrent Repurchase, we will continue to be a “controlled company” as defined under the corporate governance rules of NYSE.
Investing in the Class A Common Stock involves risks. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained on page S-5 of this prospectus supplement, page 3 of the accompanying prospectus and under similar headings in the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.
NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (“SEC”) NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT OR THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
The Selling Securityholder has granted the underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 2,377,932 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $31.32 per share, within 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock by the Selling Securityholder pursuant to any exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock.
The underwriter expects to deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock against payment on or about December 13, 2024.
