Somnigroup to engage in discussions with Leggett & Platt

Somnigroup (SGI) issued the following statement in response to the announcement by Leggett & Platt (LEG) that its board of directors has authorized discussions and entered into a customary non-disclosure agreement to facilitate due diligence and discussions with Somnigroup: “We welcome the Board’s willingness to engage in discussions with us and we look forward to conducting customary due diligence. Somnigroup remains committed to pursuing a transaction that will deliver substantial value to shareholders of both companies. However, as we advised Leggett & Platt in declining to revise our proposal in advance of customary due diligence, we believe that our proposed all-stock transaction for value of $12 per share, as previously announced on December 1, 2025, represents fair value for Leggett & Platt. Our proposal offers Leggett & Platt shareholders a 30% premium to the unaffected 30-day average price of Leggett & Platt’s shares as of that date, and an opportunity to participate in the future growth of the combined company.”
