Introduction

On March 28, 2024, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 16, 2024, among PGT Innovations, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PGTI” or the “Company”), MIWD Holding Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and RMR MergeCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (each, a “Company Common Share”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Common Shares that were held by the Company as treasury stock or held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent or the Company ) was cancelled and retired and converted into the right to receive $42.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the restrictions on each restricted Company Common Share that was subject to vesting or forfeiture granted under the Amended and Restated PGT Innovations Inc. 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Company Stock Plan” and each such restricted Company Common Share, a “Company Restricted Share”) prior to the date of the Merger Agreement and then outstanding lapsed, and each such Company Restricted Share was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, subject to any withholding taxes required by applicable law to be withheld; provided that, if there were any performance conditions applicable to any Company Restricted Share, then the restrictions on such performance-based Company Restricted Share lapsed with respect to a number of Company Common Shares calculated pursuant to the following assumptions and otherwise in accordance with the Company Stock Plan and the applicable award agreement governing such performance-based Company Restricted Shares: (a) with respect to any applicable EBITDA performance measure, based on actual performance; and (b) with respect to any applicable relative shareholder return modifier, (i) based on actual performance for any performance period that was completed prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) assuming maximum performance for any performance period that was not completed prior to the Effective Time.

Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Share granted after the date of the Merger Agreement and then outstanding was converted into an award that entitles the holder thereof upon vesting to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration, plus any interest accrued on the basis of the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect at the Effective Time, compounded quarterly, calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed (including the closing date of the Merger and each applicable vesting date) in respect of each such Company Restricted Share; provided that, in the event that the holder’s service was or is terminated by the Company or the surviving corporation in the Merger without Cause or by the holder for Good Reason (each as defined in the Company Stock Plan) at the time of or within twenty-four (24) months following the Effective Time, any such Company Restricted Share that was or is unvested as of the date of such holder’s separation from service shall fully vest.

Each restricted stock unit that was subject to vesting conditions based solely on continued employment or service granted under the Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company RSU”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the Merger Consideration.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, does not purport to be complete, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
