SYDNEY—Building materials firm Boral Ltd. said it would acquire Headwaters Inc. as the Australia-listed firm moves to expand its presence in the U.S.
On Monday, Boral said it has penned a binding agreement to acquire the building products manufacturer, one of the largest sellers of fly ash in the U.S., for US$24.25 a share in cash, equal to an enterprise value of US$2.6 billion. The offer is a 34% premium to Headwaters' one-month volume weighted average price.
The deal, unanimously recommended by Headwaters directors, is expected to close in mid-2017.
Boral said the deal would be partially financed by a 450 million Australian dollar (US$330 million) institutional placement and a A$1.6 billion accelerated renounceable entitlement offer. The company will also use some debt and existing cash.
