In a strategic turn of events, PGT Innovations Inc. (PGTI.N), renowned for its prowess in aluminium doors and windows, has received an unexpected buyout proposal from Miter Brands. This development comes just weeks after PGTI inked a $3 billion deal with Masonite International (DOOR.N).
Miter Brands has presented an enticing offer of $41.50 per share in cash, outshining Masonite's initial bid of $41 per share, consisting of $33.50 in cash and $7.50 in common stock. Despite Masonite's shares witnessing a 17% dip post-deal announcement, the company remains steadfast in its commitment to the binding transaction with PGT Innovations.

PGT, a key player in the aluminium industry, is now set to consult with independent financial and legal advisers to evaluate Miter's proposal. The company emphasizes its dedication to the Masonite deal unless a "superior proposal" emerges from the current bid.

A spokesperson for Masonite reassures stakeholders, stating, "The terms of this transaction provide PGT Innovations shareholders with compelling value." PGT Innovations' shares surged by 4.4% in after-market trading, signalling optimism about a potential bidding war.

PGT's journey, marked by rejecting previous proposals from Miter, underscores the company's resilience and strategic vision. Having adopted a "poison pill" strategy last March, PGT safeguards its market position, demonstrating a proactive approach to protecting shareholder interests.
