Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 17, 2024, The AZEK Company Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”), pursuant to its previously announced share repurchase program, with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) to repurchase approximately $50 million of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Class A Common Stock”).
Under the ASR Agreement, the Company will make an aggregate payment of $50 million to Goldman Sachs and will receive an aggregate initial number of approximately 0.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock from Goldman Sachs. The specific number of shares that the Company ultimately will repurchase under the ASR Agreement will be based generally on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Class A Common Stock during a repurchase period, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. At settlement, Goldman Sachs may be required to deliver additional shares of Class A Common Stock to the Company, or the Company may be required either to make cash payments or deliver shares of Class A Common Stock to Goldman Sachs, at the Company’s election. The ASR Agreement contains customary provisions for agreements of this type, including provisions for adjustments to the transaction terms, the circumstances under which the ASR Agreement may be accelerated, extended or terminated, and various representations and warranties made by the parties to one another. The transaction is expected to be completed no later than August, 2024.
On June 18, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing that it entered into the ASR Agreement.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
The information in Item 7.01 of this report (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
This report contains or refers to certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and subject to the "safe harbor" protections thereunder. Forward-looking statements are statements about future events and are based on our current expectations. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “believe,” “hope,” "expect," "intend," "will," "target," “anticipate,” "goal" and similar expressions. Projected financial information and performance are forward-looking statements. Other forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements with respect to the Company’s liquidity outlook, share repurchase plans and the expected completion date of the ASR. The Company bases its forward-looking statements on information available to it on the date of this report and undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changed circumstances, new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may otherwise be required by law. Actual future events could also differ materially due to numerous factors that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, among other things, the risks and uncertainties set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in any subsequent reports that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Although the Company has attempted to identify those material factors that could cause actual results or events to differ from those described in such forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that could cause actual results or events to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
