Domino’s Pizza® Announces Refinancing Transaction
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, August 6, 2025: Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NASDAQ: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world, today announced that certain of its subsidiaries intend to complete a refinancing transaction of a portion of their outstanding securitization debt with a new series of securitized debt. The Company also expects these subsidiaries to enter into a new variable funding note facility.
The Company’s subsidiaries intend to issue $1.0 billion of new securitized notes (the “2025 Notes”) and to use the proceeds, together with approximately $150 million of cash on hand, to prepay and retire in full $742.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2015-1 Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-II at par, to prepay and retire in full $402.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2018-1 Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-I at par, to prepay and retire in full any outstanding principal amount of the Company’s 2021-1 Variable Funding Notes, Class A-1 at par, to prepay and retire in full any outstanding principal amount of the Company’s 2022-1 Variable Funding Notes, Class A-1 at par and to pay transaction fees and expenses. The Company expects that these subsidiaries will also enter into a new $320 million variable funding note facility, which will replace the existing $200 million 2021-1 Variable Funding Notes, Class A-1 and $120 million 2022-1 Variable Funding Notes, Class A-1. As of June 15, 2025, there was approximately $56.4 million of outstanding letters of credit and no outstanding borrowings under the existing variable funding note facilities.
The consummation of the note offering is subject to market and other conditions and is anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2025. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the refinancing transaction on the terms described, or at all.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the 2025 Notes, the variable funding notes or any other security. The notes to be offered have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995:
This press release contains various forward-looking statements about the Company within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) that are based on current management expectations that involve substantial risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. The following cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the provisions of the Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Act. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “should,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “potential,” “outlook” and similar terms and phrases that concern our strategy, plans or intentions, including references to assumptions. These forward-looking statements address various matters including the Company’s planned refinancing transactions. While we believe these expectations and projections are based on reasonable assumptions, such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are more fully described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the section headed “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to: our substantial increased indebtedness as a result of our refinancing transactions and our ability to incur additional indebtedness or refinance or renegotiate key terms of that indebtedness in the future, our future financial performance and our ability to pay principal and interest on our indebtedness. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this press release might not occur. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release and should be evaluated with an understanding of their inherent uncertainty. Except as required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other applicable law, we do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this press release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are cautioned not to place considerable reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this press release or that may be made elsewhere from time to time by, or on behalf of, us.
