Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The calculation of the transaction value is determined by adding the sum of (i) 155,116,917 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of HD Supply Holdings, Inc. (“HD Supply”) multiplied by the offer price of $56.00 per share, (ii) the net offer price for 2,411,519 shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options with an exercise price less than $56.00 per share (which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding stock options by an amount equal to $56.00 minus the weighted average exercise price per share), (iii) 138,494 shares subject to issuance upon settlement of outstanding restricted stock units multiplied by the offer price of $56.00, and (iv) 66,715 shares subject to issuance upon settlement of outstanding deferred stock units multiplied by the offer price of $56.00. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by HD Supply as of November 20, 2020.

The amount of the filing fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2021, issued August 26, 2020, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001091.

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Coronado Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of The Home Depot, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“The Home Depot”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 24, 2020 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the tender offer by Purchaser for all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of HD Supply Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HD Supply”), at a price of $56.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, but subject to any required withholding of taxes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated November 24, 2020 (the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO, and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO, which, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer.”

All information regarding the Offer as set forth in the Schedule TO, including all exhibits and annexes thereto that were previously filed with the Schedule TO, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference into this Amendment, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided for herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Item 11. Additional Information.

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs after the last paragraph of the section captioned “The Tender Offer—Section 16—Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” on page 45 of the Offer to Purchase:

Stockholder Litigation. Five lawsuits had been filed by December 4, 2020 relating to the Offer and the Merger in federal and state courts by purported individual or trust shareholders against HD Supply, its directors and, in two cases, The Home Depot. The cases are, in the order by which they were filed: Stein v. HD Supply Holdings, Inc., et al., 1:20-cv-01605 (D. Del. Nov. 25, 2020); Vandunk v. HD Supply Holdings, Inc., et al., 1:20-cv-05777 (E.D.N.Y. Nov. 30, 2020); Drulias v. DeAngelo, et al., Index No. 656625/2020 (N.Y. Cty. Sup. Ct. Nov. 30, 2020); Rosenfeld Family Found. v. HD Supply Holdings, Inc., et al., 1:20-cv-04854 (N.D. Ga. Dec. 1, 2020); and Chapieski v. HD Supply Holdings, Inc., et al., 1:20-cv-01651 (D. Del. Dec. 4, 2020).

The complaints generally allege that the Schedule 14D-9, and, in one case, the Schedule TO, misrepresent and/or omit certain purportedly material information and assert violations of Sections 14(e) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, rules thereunder or common law fraud and/or negligent misrepresentation or concealment. The alleged material misstatements and omissions relate to, among other topics, HD Supply’s forecasts, Goldman Sachs’ financial analysis, the interests of directors and officers in the Offer and the Merger and events giving rise to the Offer and the Merger.

The plaintiffs in each of the foregoing actions seek, among other things, an injunction against the consummation of the Offer and the Merger or, in the alternative, rescission damages, as well as an award of costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses).

The defendants believe each of the allegations lack merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.
