MITER Merger Agreement

On January 17, 2024, the Company and MITER Brands™ (“MITER”), a nationwide manufacturer of precision-built windows and doors, announced they entered into a definitive merger agreement for MITER to acquire all of the Company's outstanding shares at a price of $42.00 per share in cash, or an enterprise value of approximately $3.1 billion. The purchase price represents a premium of 60% the Company's unaffected closing share price on October 9, 2023, the last trading day prior to the public disclosure of a proposal for the acquisition of the Company. The merger agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies. The transaction is expected to be financed in part by an equity investment from Koch Equity Development LLC, the principal investment and acquisition arm of Koch Industries, Inc., and a current investor in MITER. The Company also announced that it had terminated its merger agreement with Masonite International Corp. (“Masonite”) dated December 17, 2023.

MITER and the Company entered into their agreement after the Company's Board unanimously determined that MITER’s proposal constituted a “Superior Proposal” as defined in its merger agreement with Masonite, dated December 17, 2023. We notified Masonite of our determination on January 16, 2024, and Masonite waived its right to improve the terms of its offer. In accordance with our merger agreement with Masonite, concurrent with the signing of the definitive merger agreement with MITER, we terminated our merger agreement with Masonite and MITER, on behalf of the Company, paid the termination fee of $84.0 million due to Masonite. MITER’s transaction with the Company is expected to close by mid-year 2024, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company, regulatory approval, including satisfaction of the antitrust provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and customary closing conditions. The 30-day waiting period under the HSR Act, in connection with the Merger expired at 11:59 p.m. on February 22, 2024. The expiration of the HSR Act waiting period satisfies one of the conditions to the closing of the Merger. MITER has obtained commitment letters for the financing necessary to complete the transaction, which is not subject to a financing condition. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company will become a privately held subsidiary of MITER and its common stock will no longer be traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, and no adjustments have been made to reflect the effects, if any, from entering into the aforementioned merger agreement with MITER.
