Somnigroup completed its all-stock acquisition of Leggett & Platt on August 26, 2026, a transaction the company values at about $2.3 billion including Leggett & Platt's existing debt. Former Leggett & Platt shareholders now own about 9% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis, which dilutes existing Somnigroup holders, while the company reports leverage reduced by about 0.2 times and a higher synergy target.
Merger closed August 26, 2026 under an agreement dated April 13, 2026; Leggett & Platt is now a wholly owned subsidiary.

Annual run-rate synergy target raised to $75 million from the initial $50 million; net leverage reduced by about 0.2 times.
The company expects about $50 million of annualized non-cash expense from fair value adjustments to the acquired business and about $10 million from the acquired bonds; $1.5 billion of Leggett & Platt notes remain outstanding.
Somnigroup reported second-quarter 2026 net sales down 3.0% to $1.82 billion, while diluted EPS rose 10.6% to $0.52 and adjusted EPS rose 9.4% to $0.58. The company also revised its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to a range of $2.85 to $3.15, and declared a $0.17 quarterly dividend, so shareholders see weaker sales alongside higher earnings and a changed forecast.

On July 27, 2026, Somnigroup entered into Amendment No. 5 to its 2023 Credit Agreement, providing a $1.2 billion term loan A and a $510 million incremental revolving commitment, with the revolver totaling $1.7 billion after the amendment. The company used $700 million to prepay part of its 2025 Term B loans and said the refinancing reduces expected annual interest expense by approximately $5 million, while the amendment also adjusts terms tied to its anticipated acquisition of Leggett & Platt.

On April 13, 2026, Somnigroup signed a merger agreement under which Merger Sub will merge into Leggett & Platt, which would survive as a wholly owned Somnigroup subsidiary. Each Leggett & Platt share would convert into 0.1455 Somnigroup shares, so the deal would issue new Somnigroup stock and affect existing Somnigroup holders' ownership. Closing requires Leggett & Platt stockholder approval, antitrust and other regulatory clearances, and an effective Form S-4, and the boards of both companies have unanimously approved the deal.
Each Leggett & Platt common share would convert into 0.1455 shares of Somnigroup common stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares.
Closing requires Leggett & Platt stockholder approval, Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance, and NYSE listing approval for the new Somnigroup shares.
Leggett & Platt would pay Somnigroup a $64 million termination fee in specified cases; Somnigroup would pay Leggett & Platt $80 million in specified antitrust-related cases.
Either party may terminate if the merger is not completed before January 13, 2027, subject to extensions to as late as April 13, 2028.
