Element Solutions to merge with Solstice Advanced Materials in stock-and-cash deal
Element Solutions and Solstice Advanced Materials signed a merger agreement on July 6, 2026, under which Element Solutions becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Solstice. Element Solutions shareholders would receive 0.500 Solstice shares plus $10.00 in cash for each share they hold, so the value they receive depends partly on Solstice's share price. The deal requires approval from both companies' stockholders and an effective registration statement before closing.
Key points
- Each Element Solutions common share converts into 0.500 Solstice shares plus $10.00 in cash, without interest.
- Closing requires adoption of the merger agreement by Element Solutions stockholders and approval of the Solstice stock issuance by Solstice stockholders.
- Solstice agreed that its board will have eleven directors after the merger, including three Element Solutions designees.
- Element Solutions and Solstice will file a Form S-4 registration statement with the SEC, including a joint proxy statement.
