The Ademi Firm is investigating American Woodmark (NASDAQ: AMWD) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law in its transaction with MasterBrand.
In the transaction, shareholders of American Woodmark will receive 5.150 shares of MasterBrand common stock for each share of American Woodmark stock. Following the transaction, MasterBrand and American Woodmark shareholders will own approximately 63% and 37% of the combined company, respectively, on a fully diluted basis. The combined company will have a pro forma equity value of $2.4 billion and enterprise value of $3.6 billion.
American Woodmark insiders will receive substantial benefits as part of change of control arrangements.
The transaction agreement unreasonably limits competing transactions for American Woodmark by imposing a significant penalty if American Woodmark accepts a competing bid. We are investigating the conduct of the American Woodmark board of directors, and whether they are fulfilling their fiduciary duties to all shareholders.
