On January 31, 2018, Ply Gem and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice ("CD&R"), a private equity firm, announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which CD&R will acquire Ply Gem in a merger worth $2.4 billion (the "Merger"). As a result of the merger, Ply Gem's shareholders are only anticipated to receive $21.64 per share in cash in exchange for each share of Ply Gem.

A Ply Gem shareholder represented by another law firm has filed a class action complaint against Ply Gem for breach of fiduciary duty.  The complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Case No. 2018-0151-AGB.

According to the lawsuit, on February 14, 2018, defendants filed a preliminary information statement (the "Proxy") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in connection with the Merger.

The Proxy omits material information with respect to the Merger, which renders the Proxy false and misleading. Accordingly, plaintiff seeks that the Merger should be enjoined until defendants disclose more information to stockholders.
