JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. Announces Launch of Secondary Offering and Repurchase of Common Stock
JELD-WEN announced a secondary offering of 7,000,000 shares by selling shareholders Onex Corporation and its affiliates. JELD-WEN will not receive proceeds from this sale. However, the company plans to repurchase 800,000 shares from the offering at the purchase price set by underwriters. This move aims to reduce the share count available to the public to 6,200,000 shares, potentially enhancing shareholder value. Goldman Sachs is the sole underwriter for the offering.
- Repurchase of 800,000 shares could enhance shareholder value.
- Reduction in outstanding shares may positively influence EPS.
- No proceeds from the share offering to the company.
- Increased shares available to public could dilute existing shareholder value.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE: JELD) today announced that Onex Corporation and certain investment funds managed by Onex Partners Manager LP and its affiliates (collectively, the "selling shareholders") intend to offer 7,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for sale in an underwritten public offering. The shares will be offered to the public at a fixed price, which may be changed at any time without notice.
The Company is not selling any shares in this offering and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling shareholders in this offering.
Subject to the completion of the offering, the Company intends to repurchase 800,000 of the aggregate 7,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock that are the subject of the offering (the "share repurchase").
