Ancora proposed buying H.B. Fuller’s (FUL) Building Adhesive Solutions segment for $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion in cash. The revised range is above Ancora’s earlier $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion proposal, which H.B. Fuller’s board rejected on August 24, 2026.
Ancora estimates the new offer values the segment at 8.5 to 9.9 times its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization over the last 12 months. Ancora has received a “highly confident” letter from Fortress Investment Group concerning debt financing, but financing commitments have not been finalized. The proposal is non-binding and depends on due diligence, required approvals and a definitive agreement. Ancora does not expect that agreement to include a financing contingency.
H.B. Fuller (FUL) appointed R. Jeffrey Bailly to its board, effective immediately, and said Ruth Kimmelshue will step down. Bailly led UFP Technologies for more than three decades, including through more than 20 mergers and acquisitions.
H.B. Fuller is repositioning its portfolio toward medical and other end markets it describes as faster-growing and higher-margin. CEO Celeste Mastin said Bailly’s medical-market experience fits that effort and the company’s goal of an adjusted EBITDA margin greater than 20%. The board chair said shareholders had recommended board candidates during discussions.
