During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, Valvoline signed a definitive agreement to acquire Breeze Autocare from Greenbriar Equity Group (“Greenbriar”), subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory
approvals. Breeze Autocare is an independent provider of automotive quick lube and other preventive maintenance services that operates predominantly under the Oil Changers brand. Under the terms of the agreement, Valvoline will acquire the business for a base purchase price of $625 million in cash, subject to customary and other closing adjustments, which include those related to certain acquisitions and real estate transactions completed by Breeze Autocare between signing and closing. The purchase price is intended to be funded with a Term Loan B that will be issued and effective commensurate with closing the acquisition.
On April 9, 2025, Valvoline and Greenbriar each received a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material (the “Second Request”) from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”). The Second Request extends the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after Valvoline and Greenbriar have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier by the FTC or voluntarily extended through an agreement among Valvoline, Greenbriar and the FTC. Valvoline is continuing to work toward gaining regulatory approval to close the transaction.
