Upon completion of the merger, Entegris stockholders will own 52.5 percent and Versum Materials stockholders will own 47.5 percent of the combined company1. The combined company will have a pro forma enterprise value of approximately $9 billion, based on the closing prices of Entegris and Versum Materials on January 25, 2019, and approximately $3 billion in revenue and approximately $1 billion in Adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis for calendar year 20182.

The combined company will retain the Entegris name and will be headquartered in Billerica, Massachusetts, and will maintain a strong operational presence in Tempe, Arizona.

Upon closing of the transaction, Entegris CEO Bertrand Loy will serve as Chief Executive Officer, Entegris CFO Greg Graves will serve as Chief Financial Officer, and Versum Materials General Counsel Michael Valente will serve as General Counsel of the combined company, supported by a highly experienced and proven leadership team that reflects the strengths and capabilities of both companies.

Entegris President and Chief Executive Officer, Bertrand Loy said, “We are excited to combine with Versum Materials to create a premier specialty materials company for the semiconductor and other high-tech industries. The combined company will be ideally positioned to more effectively help our customers achieve higher yields and new levels of performance and reliability, and together, we will be well positioned to take advantage of long-term secular semiconductor growth, and to tackle new industry process challenges.

World class technology: The combined company’s world class technology and R&D capabilities will better enable it to:

 

   

Address customers’ evolving needs for new materials as device architectures become more complex;

 

   

Capitalize on the increasing demand for purity and help drive improved yield; and

 

   

Accelerate the development and time to market of new technologies that align with the industry technology roadmap.

 

   

Global scale and operational excellence: A much broader, global scale will enable the combined company to reach additional customer touch points, and have increased relevance in key geographies. By combining its extensive global manufacturing network, the company will be able to improve delivery times and drive new levels of operational efficiencies and excellence.

 

   

Increased financial strength and flexibility: The combined company will have approximately $3 billion in revenue and approximately $1 billion in Adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis for calendar year 20183. It will be well capitalized with a strong balance sheet and a pro forma net leverage ratio of 1.1x4. In addition, it will have flexibility to invest, make acquisitions, and return capital to stockholders, while enjoying greater earnings stability and margin growth potential.

 

   

Significant stockholder value creation: The combination is expected to generate more than $75 million of annual cost synergies in manufacturing, logistics, procurement and SG&A rationalization within 12 months post close. In addition, the combined company is expected to realize significant revenue growth synergies from cross-selling opportunities, with further potential upside from capex and revenue synergies.
