On January 23, 2026, Sealed Air Corporation issued a definitive proxy statement calling a virtual special meeting of stockholders for February 25, 2026, to vote on a proposed merger under an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 16, 2025. The transaction would see an affiliate of private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, through Sword Purchaser, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary Sword Merger Sub, acquire Sealed Air, with Merger Sub merging into the company and Sealed Air continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the acquiring entity. If approved and completed, Sealed Air stockholders will receive $42.15 in cash per share of common stock, subject to applicable tax withholding and appraisal rights, effectively taking the company private and providing an immediate cash exit for investors. The board of directors unanimously determined the merger to be advisable and in the best interests of stockholders, recommending that investors vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement, approve on an advisory basis the merger-related executive compensation, and allow adjournment of the meeting if more time is needed to secure sufficient votes, underscoring the strategic importance of the deal for the company’s ownership structure and future direction.
