The HSR clearance is a routine procedural step. The next catalyst is the filing and effectiveness of the S-4/proxy statement, which will include a shareholder vote date. Monitor for shareholder approval and updates on foreign regulatory clearances. No immediate trading catalyst.

Executive Summary
Leggett & Platt filed a Rule 425 communication announcing that the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period for its pending merger with Somnigroup International Inc. expired on June 3, 2026. This removes one regulatory hurdle, but the deal still requires shareholder approval, additional foreign clearances, and an effective S-4 before closing, expected by year-end 2026.
