Avanos announced it will voluntarily supplement its definitive proxy statement in response to shareholder demands and lawsuits related to its pending $25.00-per-share merger.
Key Highlights:
- Two stockholder lawsuits and demand letters allege disclosure deficiencies and seek injunctions or additional disclosures; Avanos denies the allegations.
- Avanos will supplement the Definitive Proxy Statement to avoid delays or costs from litigation, without admitting liability.
- Supplements do not change merger terms, $25.00 per share consideration, timing of the July 22, 2026 special meeting, or the board’s unanimous recommendation to vote FOR the merger.
- J.P. Morgan’s analyses show implied per-share ranges: $12.75–$23.50 (public comps) and $9.75–$21.75 (selected transactions); JP Morgan used FV/Adj. EBITDA multiples and compared them to $25.00 merger consideration.
