This Amendment No. 5 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Gold Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Home Depot, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“The Home Depot”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 2025 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, including this Amendment, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of GMS Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GMS”), at a price of $110.00 per share in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 14, 2025 (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 in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of this Schedule TO and is supplemented by the information specifically provided in this Amendment, except as otherwise set forth below. This Amendment should be read together with the Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Items 1 through 9 and Item 11.

The Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

1.
The subsection entitled “Compliance with the Canadian Competition Act” in Section 16 “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” is amended and supplemented by deleting the first and second paragraphs of such subsection and replacing them with the following paragraph:

“The Canadian Competition Act requires that certain classes of transactions (which we refer to as “Notifiable Transactions”) be notified to the Canadian Commissioner of Competition (which we refer to as the “Commissioner”). The acquisition of Shares in the Offer constitutes a Notifiable Transaction. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the parties to a Notifiable Transaction cannot complete the transaction until they have submitted the information prescribed pursuant to subsection 114(1) of the Canadian Competition Act to the Commissioner and the applicable waiting period has expired or been terminated by the Commissioner. On August 28, 2025, the Commissioner issued a “no-action” letter, confirming the termination of the waiting period pursuant to subsection 123(2) of the Canadian Competition Act. See Section 15 — “Conditions to the Offer.””
