Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
In connection with a private financing transaction announced on January 5, 2023, Regal Rexnord Corporation (the “Company”) anticipates disclosing to prospective investors certain information that has not been previously publicly reported. This information is set forth below and in the attached Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, which are incorporated herein by reference into this Item 7.01.
As previously announced, on October 26, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Altra Industrial Motion Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Altra”), and Aspen Sub, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Aspen Sub”), to acquire all of Altra’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, Aspen Sub will merge with and into Altra, with Altra surviving the transaction as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). The Company expects that, within four years after the closing of the Merger, it will be able to realize approximately $160.0 million in cost synergies, with expected one-time estimated costs to achieve synergies of approximately $104.0 million.
