The tender offer will remain open until 5:00 p.m. on April 14.

The acquisition has received antitrust clearance in the U.S. and Canada.

QXO to acquire Beacon for $124.35 per share in cash, or $11B

QXO (QXO) and Beacon Roofing Supply (BECN) announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which QXO will acquire Beacon for $124.35 per share in cash. Beacon is a leading distributor of roofing, waterproofing and exterior products, with nearly 600 branches across the U.S. and Canada. The boards of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the transaction, which values Beacon at approximately $11B, including all its outstanding debt. The transaction is expected to close by the end of April, subject to a majority of Beacon shares tendering in the offer and other customary closing conditions. Beacon's board unanimously recommends that all shareholders tender their shares into the offer. On January 27, 2025, QXO commenced an all-cash tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Beacon. QXO today announced that it has extended its current tender offer to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on March 31, 2025. QXO will amend its current tender offer on or prior to the new expiration date to reflect the terms of the definitive merger agreement with Beacon, including to reflect an offer price of $124.35 per share in cash. Beacon will also amend its recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 in support of such amended tender offer. In connection with the transaction, QXO has withdrawn its nomination of 10 independent director nominees for election at Beacon's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders and Beacon has exempted the tender offer from its previously adopted shareholder rights plan. The acquisition has received antitrust clearance in the U.S. and Canada. QXO has $5B of cash and secured financing commitments covering the full purchase price, including debt refinancing and transaction costs. As reported earlier this week, QXO has also entered into purchase agreements with certain institutional investors for an $830M private placement financing, subject to the completion of the Beacon acquisition.
