Solstice Advanced Materials agrees to merge with Element Solutions for stock and cash
On July 6, 2026, Solstice Advanced Materials agreed to acquire Element Solutions through a two-step merger, with Element Solutions becoming a wholly owned subsidiary. Element Solutions shareholders would receive 0.500 Solstice shares plus $10 in cash for each share they hold, and both boards have unanimously approved the deal. Completion requires approval from both companies' stockholders and the effectiveness of a Form S-4 registration statement, and the filing excerpt does not state the total deal value or expected closing date.
Key points
- Element Solutions shareholders would receive 0.500 Solstice common shares plus $10 in cash per share, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares.
- Solstice's board would expand to eleven directors: eight current Solstice directors and three designees from the Element Solutions board.
- Closing requires approval by Element Solutions stockholders and by Solstice stockholders for the share issuance, plus an effective Form S-4 registration statement.
- Certain Element Solutions equity awards, including those granted in 2024 and held by change-in-control agreement parties, would vest in full at the effective time.
