On April 23, 2024 (the "Signing Date"), Masonite International Corporation, a British Columbia corporation ("Masonite" or the "Company"), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") providing for the disposition (the "Disposition") of the Company's Architectural reporting segment (the "Architectural Business") for a total transaction value of approximately $75 million subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The Disposition is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2024.
As a result of entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, Masonite concluded that on and as of the Signing Date that the assets and liabilities of the Architectural Business meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Masonite anticipates recording a net non-cash impairment charge during the second quarter of 2024 in the preliminary range of $90 to $100 million (the "Impairment") as a result of the Disposition. Masonite does not anticipate that this charge will result in future cash expenditures. The final amount of the non-cash impairment charge may vary from the preliminary range as a result of a number of factors, including (i) the fair value of any indemnification liabilities, (ii) changes in foreign exchange rates, (iii) the working capital of the Architectural Business upon consummation of the transaction, (iv) the evaluation of any income tax impacts and (v) other assumptions used including discount rates and allocations.
