すでに明らかにしたようにValsparの四半期配当についての発表は2017年5月19日に出されている。2017年6月1日の営業日前に合併が完了したため、2017年6月8日に支払い予定のValsparの四半期配当は支払われない
Sherwin-Williamsが先に発表したValsparのすべての発行済み社債の交換提案は、ニューヨーク時間2017年6月1日午前9時に終了した。ニューヨーク時間2017年5月31日午後5時以降に発行済みValspar社債の引き取りは行われない。

John G. Morikis, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Sherwin-Williams, said, "We are pleased to complete this transaction, and I
would like to officially welcome our new colleagues from Valspar and the
tremendous talent they bring to Sherwin-Williams. The acquisition of Valspar
accelerates Sherwin-Williams' global growth strategy and creates the global
leader in paints and coatings. The combination of these two companies creates
a world class brand portfolio, expanded product range, premier technology and
innovation platforms and an extensive global footprint. These enhanced
capabilities will benefit our customers and create sustainable long-term value
for our shareholders."
With corporate headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, the combined company generated
pro forma 2016 revenues of $15.8 billion and employs approximately 60,000
associates worldwide. It has a prominent market position in architectural
paint in North America, South America, China, Australia and the UK. In
industrial coatings, the combined company is a global market leader in
packaging coatings, coil coatings, general industrial coatings and industrial
wood coatings.
On May 2, 2017, Sherwin-Williams filed a Current Report on Form 8-K containing
unaudited 2016 pro forma financial statements reflecting the acquisition of
Valspar.
As previously communicated, Sherwin-Williams expects to achieve $320 million of
annual run-rate synergies in the areas of sourcing, SG&A and process and
efficiency savings, within three years. The company also expects this
transaction to be immediately accretive to earnings (excluding one-time costs)
and to meaningfully increase the Company's operating cash flow.
Sherwin-Williams will announce financial results for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2017 on Thursday, July 20, 2017. At that time, Sherwin-Williams will
provide its outlook on the combined company for the third quarter and full year
2017, and conduct a conference call to answer questions. Further details
regarding the call will be available in coming weeks.
On May 2, 2017, Sherwin-Williams conducted a senior notes offering to provide
financing for the Valspar acquisition. The company placed $6 billion in bonds
with maturities of 3, 5, 7, 10 and 30 years at a blended average interest rate
of approximately 3.2 percent.
As previously communicated in Valspar's quarterly dividend announcement issued
May 19, 2017, because the merger was completed prior to the close of business
on June 1, 2017, the Valspar quarterly dividend payable on June 8, 2017 will
not be paid.
Sherwin-Williams' previously announced exchange offers for any and all
outstanding Valspar notes have expired as of 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on
June 1, 2017. There were no additional tenders of outstanding Valspar notes
since 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 31, 2017.
