The deal closes a transformative vertical integration and supply-chain consolidation. Monitor the September 2 business update call for synergy realization details and preliminary 2027 guidance. The ~9% dilution to former Leggett shareholders is modest relative to the strategic benefits, but watch for integration execution risk and the impact of ~$60M in annual non-cash purchase accounting charges on reported earnings.
