Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Announces Class Action Against Builders FirstSource, Inc. -- BLDR

Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in Delaware Chancery Court against the board of directors of Builders FirstSource, Inc. ("Builders FirstSource" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BLDR) and the controlling stockholders of Builders FirstSource, JLL Partners, Inc. ("JLL") and Warburg Pincus LLC ("Warburg Pincus"), in connection with JLL's and Warburg Pincus' announcement of a recapitalization plan for Builders FirstSource. JLL and Warburg Pincus collectively own 49.9% of the common stock of Builders FirstSource and hold $98 million of the $275 million of debt issued by the Company.

On September 1, 2009, JLL and Warburg Pincus proposed a recapitalization under which they would exchange their Builders FirstSource notes due to mature in 2012 for 49 million shares of common stock valued at $2 per share while holders of the remaining notes may elect to exchange each $1,000 principal amount of notes into either $750 principal amount of a new debt security with a maturity of 2017, equity on the same basis as the JLL/Warburg Pincus notes, or any combination thereof -- provided that no more than $40 million of new common stock and no less than $20 million of new common stock will be issued in the exchange. In reaction to the proposed of the recapitalization plan, shares of Builders FirstSource dropped from over $8.30 per share to $4.90 per share.
