Tomkins to Sell Air Distribution Business

On September 20, 2012, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”) has agreed to purchase all of the equity interests in certain indirect subsidiaries of Pinafore Holdings B.V. (the “Company”) that comprise the Company’s air distribution division.

The aggregate consideration payable in the transaction will be approximately $1.1 billion in cash (subject to certain customary adjustments). The air distribution division manufactures air distribution and ventilation products for residential and non-residential buildings and air movement and control products for industrial and infrastructure applications, in each case primarily in North America. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions and is expected to occur in the last quarter of 2012.

Credit Suisse and BofA Merrill Lynch served as financial advisors to subsidiaries of the Company involved in the transaction.
