Effective as of May 28, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), American Woodmark completed its previously announced transaction with MasterBrand (the “Closing”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into American Woodmark (the “Merger”) at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), with American Woodmark continuing as the surviving entity. Merger Consideration Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of American Woodmark common stock outstanding was converted into the right to receive 5.150 shares of MasterBrand common stock (such ratio, the “Exchange Ratio”), plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Treatment of American Woodmark Equity Awards Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the Effective Time, (i) each American Woodmark restricted stock unit (each, an “American Woodmark RSU”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was, depending on the terms of the applicable award, either (1) converted into a MasterBrand restricted stock unit with respect to a corresponding number of shares of MasterBrand common stock based on the Exchange Ratio (with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share) or (2) converted into the right to receive a number of shares of MasterBrand common stock equal to the number of shares of American Woodmark common stock subject to the American Woodmark RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (with a cash payment in respect of any fractional shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement), less any applicable tax withholding, (ii) except as described below, each American Woodmark performance stock unit (each, an “American Woodmark PSU”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into a MasterBrand restricted stock unit with respect to a corresponding number of shares of MasterBrand common stock (determined based upon actual or superior performance levels, as applicable) based on the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (iii) each American Woodmark cash-settled restricted stock tracking unit outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was assumed and converted into a MasterBrand cash-settled restricted stock tracking unit relating to a corresponding number of shares of MasterBrand common stock (with any performance-based vesting conditions determined based upon superior performance levels) based on the Exchange Ratio (with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share). Each option to purchase shares of American Woodmark common stock and American Woodmark PSUs granted to American Woodmark executive officers on September 5, 2023, were determined (based on the achievement of actual performance through the Effective Time) not to have been earned and, as a result, were automatically cancelled without any payment or other consideration at the Effective Time. The foregoing description of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to American Woodmark’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 6, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference. The total number of shares of MasterBrand common stock issuable as consideration with respect to the Merger (including with respect to the converted American Woodmark RSUs as described above) is approximately 77,031,379 million shares. The shares of MasterBrand common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-290071) filed by MasterBrand with the SEC on September 5, 2025, as amended on September 23, 2025, and declared effective by the SEC on September 25, 2025. Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. In connection with the Closing and effective as of the Closing Date, American Woodmark terminated all outstanding obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2024, by and among American Woodmark, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01. Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, American Woodmark notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of the Closing and requested that Nasdaq suspend trading of American Woodmark common stock and withdraw American Woodmark common stock from listing on Nasdaq. Upon American Woodmark’s request, Nasdaq will file a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with the SEC with respect to the delisting of American Woodmark common stock and the deregistration of American Woodmark common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, American Woodmark common stock will no longer be listed on Nasdaq, effective May 29, 2026
