HOUSTON, Nov. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- NCI Building Systems, Inc. (NYSE: NCS), a leading manufacturer of exterior building products for commercial construction ("NCI" or the "Company"), announced today that it has completed its merger with Ply Gem Parent, LLC, a leading manufacturer of exterior building products for residential construction ("Ply Gem"). The completion of the transaction follows the satisfaction of all customary closing conditions, including approval of the merger by NCI shareholders. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Ply Gem shareholders received approximately 58.7 million shares of NCI common stock. NCI shareholders retained a 53% ownership of the Company's common equity with Ply Gem shareholders now owning 47%.

Chairman and CEO James S. Metcalf commented, "We are delighted to successfully complete our merger with Ply Gem today, furthering our strategy to be a market leading building products company. This combination brings together industry leaders that will increase our scale, broaden our product offerings and expand our customer base. In addition, the new company will be a stronger, more diversified enterprise serving all channels of the construction markets – residential, repair & remodel, and commercial. 

With the merger now complete, the Company's capital structure will improve meaningfully. With significant free cash flow generation and a flexible capital structure, the organization will be better positioned to manage through the industry's cycles. Looking ahead, our growth will be driven by our strategic focus on innovative products, cost savings, margin expansion and debt reduction. Most importantly, we expect to create long-term value for our customers, shareholders and employees. I would like to thank our employees for all their hard work, dedication and support in accomplishing this transaction," concluded Metcalf.

The Company will operate under a name to be determined, and each entity will preserve its existing established brands. The Company will be headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, with a significant presence in Houston, Texas.

Reporting

NCI's fiscal year-end and fourth quarter 2018 results, as of October 29, 2018, will be reported on December 12, 2018. Following this reporting period, the combined company will move to a calendar year-end fiscal reporting schedule. Consolidated results for the transition period from October 29, 2018 through December 31, 2018, which will include the results of Ply Gem beginning November 16, 2018, will be reported in February 2019. 

Founder's Grants

In accordance with NYSE requirements, the Board of Directors has authorized, in connection with the consummation of the merger with Ply Gem, the grant of "employment inducement awards" (within the meaning of Section 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual) to approximately 50 individuals who will become employees of the Company in connection with the Merger.  Forty percent (40%) of the value of each award will be in the form of options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of a share of common stock on the grant date (the "Options"), 40% will be in the form of restricted stock units (the "RSUs"), each representing the right to acquire one share of the Company's common stock, and 20% will be in the form of performance share units (the "PSUs"), each representing the right to acquire a number of shares of the Company's common stock (up to a maximum of two shares per PSU) to be determined based upon the achievement of performance metrics as measured during a two year performance period and one year hold period following the grant date, subject to the grantee's continued employment with the Company.  The awards will represent an aggregate value of up to $34.0 million (assuming all of the PSUs vest at maximum levels of achievement), with the actual number of Options, RSUs and PSUs to be determined based on today's closing share price.  The Options and RSUs vest in five equal annual installments, subject to the grantee's continued employment with the Company.  Recipients of the employment inducement awards include the following officers of the Company:
