Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 4, 2017, Headwaters Incorporated (the “Company”) and Boral Limited (“Boral”) received notice from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that it had granted early termination, effective immediately, of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), for the previously announced acquisition of the Company by Boral (the “Merger”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 20, 2016, among the Company, Boral and Enterprise Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boral.
The early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act satisfies the last remaining regulatory approval-related condition to the closing of the Merger. The parties currently expect that the transaction will be completed within two business days, subject to the satisfaction at the closing of the remaining customary closing conditions.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This document may include “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements relating to the completion of the Merger. Forward-looking statements can usually be identified by the use of terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “evolve,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “looking ahead,” “may,” “opinion,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “project,” “should,” “will” and similar words or expression. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated as a result of various factors, including: (1) conditions to the closing of the transaction may not be satisfied; (2) the transaction may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays; (3) the business of the Company may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the transaction; (4) the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the transaction; (5) the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (6) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the transaction; (7) the ability to recognize benefits of the transaction; (8) risks that the transaction disrupts current plans and operations and the potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the transaction; (9) other risks to consummation of the transaction, including the risk that the Merger will not be consummated within the expected time period or at all; (10) the risks described from time to time in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC under the heading “Risk Factors,” including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and in other of the Company’s filings with the SEC; and (11) general industry and economic conditions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which such statements were made. Except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after such date.
