AZEK shareholders received USD 26.45 in cash plus 1.0340 James Hardie ordinary shares for each AZEK share; James Hardie's own announcement put the total transaction value at USD 8.75 billion, a figure that includes about USD 386 million of AZEK net debt as of 31 December 2024 and is therefore an enterprise value rather than a straight equity price. AZEK had no controlling parent, so no seller company id applies; the deal folded AZEK's TimberTech decking, AZEK Exteriors trim and moulding, Versatex trim, StruXure pergolas, UltraLox railing hardware and Intex railing brands into James Hardie, turning a fibre-cement specialist into a broader exterior building-products company spanning siding, decking, trim and railing.
