Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On March 18, 2024, following the adoption of the certificate of incorporation amendment proposal at the Special Meeting (as defined below), PGT Innovations, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PGTI” or the “Company”), amended its certificate of incorporation by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

On March 18, 2024, PGTI convened a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote upon certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 16, 2024, among the Company, MIWD Holding Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MITER”), and RMR MergeCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MITER (“Merger Sub”), providing for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of MITER. As a result of the Merger, the Company will no longer be publicly held. The Company’s common stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

There were 58,326,059 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of PGTI (the “PGTI common stock”), issued and outstanding as of February 7, 2024, the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”). At the Special Meeting, the holders of 44,882,997 shares of PGTI common stock were present or represented by proxy, representing approximately 76.95% of the total outstanding shares of PGTI common stock as of the Record Date, which constituted a quorum.

 

At the Special Meeting, the following proposals were voted upon (each of which is described in greater detail in the definitive proxy statement filed by PGTI with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”)):

 

Proposal 1 – The Merger Agreement Proposal: To adopt the Merger Agreement.

 

Proposal 2 – The Merger-Related Compensation Proposal: To approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation that will or may be paid or become payable by PGTI to its named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger.

 

Proposal 3 – The Certificate of Incorporation Amendment Proposal: To approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of PGTI, designating PGTI as agent of PGTI stockholders to pursue damages in the event that specific performance is not sought or granted as a remedy for MITER’s fraud or material and willful breach of the Merger Agreement.

 

Each proposal was approved by the requisite vote of PGTI’s stockholders. Because Proposal 1 was approved, a vote on the adjournment proposal described in the Proxy Statement was not necessary. A summary of the voting results for each proposal is set forth below.

 

Proposal 1 – Merger Proposal

 

Votes For   Votes Against   Abstentions
 44,668,218   111,672    103,107 

 

Proposal 2 – Merger Compensation Proposal
