BlueLinx Holdings Inc

We are a leading distributor of building and industrial products in the United States ("U.S."). We are headquartered in Georgia, with executive offices located at 1950 Spectrum Circle, Marietta, Georgia, and we operate our distribution business through a broad network of distribution centers. We serve many major metropolitan areas in the U.S., and deliver building and industrial products to a variety of wholesale and retail customers.

We were incorporated in the State of Georgia on March 8, 2004, as ABP Distribution Holdings, Inc. ("ABP"). ABP subsequently merged into BlueLinx Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on August 26, 2004, in connection with the spin-off by Georgia-Pacific Corporation of its building products distribution division. On December 17, 2004, we consummated an initial public offering of our common stock.

During the second quarter of 2019, we completed real estate financing transactions through sale-leaseback arrangements on two of our distribution facilities for gross proceeds of $45.0 million. Net proceeds from the transactions were used to repay indebtedness under our term loan and revolving credit facility. Upon completion of the transactions, we entered into long-term leases with multiple renewal options on the properties.
