Acquisitions & Disposals | Acquisitions & Disposals On February 10, 2025, the Company announced its entry into a definitive purchase agreement under which the Company will acquire Kito Crosby Limited (“Kito Crosby”) in an all-cash transaction valued at $2,700,000,000 subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments and regulatory approval (such transaction being referred to in this Form 10-Q as the “Kito Acquisition”). Kito Crosby is a global leader in lifting solutions with multiple manufacturing assembly plants and nearly 4,000 employees serving over 50 countries. In 2024, Kito Crosby generated approximately $1,100,000,000 in revenue through its extensive global channel partner network. Together the combined company will be a leader in material handling solutions with greater scale and a strong presence in attractive verticals and target geographies, delivering innovation and products to customers. The Company incurred $8,103,000 of acquisition, integration planning and deal related costs classified as part of General and administrative expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Kito Acquisition has been approved by the Board of Directors of Columbus McKinnon. The Company intends to fund the acquisition through a combination of committed debt financing of $3,050,000,000 from J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC including a $500,000,000 revolving credit facility and a $800,000,000 of perpetual convertible preferred equity investment from Clayton, Dubliner & Rice (“CD&R”). Terms of the CD&R investment include a 7% coupon, payable in cash or payment-in-kind at Columbus McKinnon’s option, and a conversion price of $37.68, resulting in CD&R as-converted ownership of approximately 43% of the Company following completion of the transaction. CD&R has agreed to a customary lock-up on its shares. The Company expects the Kito Acquisition to close in fiscal 2026. In connection with the Kito Acquisition, the Company filed the required notification and report forms under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) and the Federal Trade Commission. In fiscal 2026, the Company received a request for additional information from the Antitrust Division in connection with its review. The Company is working collaboratively with the Antitrust Division to bring its review of the Kito Acquisition to completion.
