Leggett & Platt Announces Shareholder Approval of Merger with Somnigroup

The story
Leggett & Platt said on Aug. 20 that its shareholders voted to approve the merger with Somnigroup International. The company did not identify the remaining regulatory approval in the supplied announcement or provide a closing date.
The transaction directly affects Somnigroup International, which trades under SGI, while Leggett & Platt is the company being merged. Finnhub’s supplied enrichment shows SGI generated $7.5B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 51.6% year over year, with a 42.6% gross margin, a 5.1% net margin and $1.84 of diluted EPS.
The next concrete event is the outstanding regulatory approval. The announcement does not establish the timing, conditions or likelihood of that approval, so the principal unresolved issue is execution of the merger rather than a new operating update from SGI.
The two-sided take
The house read
Two-sidedWrong ifThe trade fails if the remaining regulator delays, conditions or blocks the merger, or if the transaction terms change before closing.
