Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. shareholders and AkzoNobel shareholders voted in favor of all resolutions related to their proposed transaction at their respective meetings on August 5, 2026. The transaction remains proposed; the companies identify the possibility that a closing condition may not be satisfied and that any required regulatory approval may be delayed or not obtained as risks to completion.
AkzoNobel’s Form F-4 registration statement, which included Axalta’s proxy statement/prospectus, was declared effective June 23, 2026. Axalta filed its definitive proxy statement on June 24 and commenced mailing it on or about that date to holders of record as of June 11, 2026. The companies state that transaction-related non-GAAP and non-IFRS measures are not substitutes for comparable GAAP or IFRS measures and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by competitors.
Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. and Akzo Nobel N.V. executives described two remedy-driven divestitures for their proposed combination: AkzoNobel’s European Refinish business and Axalta’s U.S. Wood Coatings business. Together, the businesses represent less than EUR500 million in revenue; their profitability was described as roughly at the Axanzo target level of 19% to 20%.
AkzoNobel’s CEO said the $600 million cost-synergy commitment was calculated using possible remedy scenarios and remains protected, while management aims to exceed it. Axalta’s U.S. Wood sale process is underway as a structured process; AkzoNobel has begun contacting potential buyers for European Refinish. In the U.S., a remedy must close before the merger; in Europe, a signed agreement with an acceptable buyer is required, but the sale does not need to close.
AkzoNobel’s CFO estimated merger-related cash out for full-year 2026 at roughly EUR100 million, maybe just above that level, with higher outflow in the second half. Management said procurement and SG&A make up roughly two-thirds of the synergies and are a focus for front-loading in years one and two, with a healthy run rate by the end of year one.
Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. is planning to divest its North American Building Products business as part of the regulatory approval process for its proposed merger of equals with Akzo Nobel N.V. The company said the expected divestiture is driven by merger regulatory requirements, not business performance, and is intended to support completion of the merger.
The merger remains on track to close in Q1 2027, subject to remaining regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. On August 5, 2026, shareholders at meetings of both companies voted in favor of all resolutions related to the transaction. Axalta said the announcement brings no immediate changes to Building Products employees’ roles, reporting relationships, or day-to-day responsibilities.
Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. is the proposed merger partner in AkzoNobel’s planned all-share merger of equals; AkzoNobel announced an Extraordinary General Meeting for November 30, 2026.
The agenda includes proposals to amend the combined company’s articles of association to reflect the proposed name Axanzo N.V., announced October 15, 2026, and to appoint Denise Johnson, Stephan Tanda and Robert Schuchna as non-executive directors. The three have agreed to serve following completion of the merger. AXZ is the envisaged post-closing ticker symbol for the combined company on Euronext Amsterdam and the NYSE.
Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (AXTA) announced that the future combined company in its proposed transaction with AkzoNobel will be named Axanzo. The name combines AX from Axalta, ZO from Akzo and AN as the bridge between them. AkzoNobel and Axalta will continue to operate independently until closing.

Greg Poux-Guillaume, AkzoNobel’s CEO, is to lead the combined organization as CEO, while Chris Villavarayan, Axalta’s CEO, is to serve as Deputy CEO. The planned business would bring together around 100 brands across paints and coatings in more than 160 countries.

Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (AXTA) is the proposed merger counterparty named by AkzoNobel; AkzoNobel has entered binding agreements to sell its Decorative Paints business in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Papua New Guinea and Australia to Nippon Paint. The transactions are based on an approximately $1.35 billion (€1.20 billion) total enterprise value, representing an EV/FY25 EBITDA multiple of 21x. Net cash proceeds after taxes and minority partners are expected to be approximately $1 billion (€0.9 billion).
AkzoNobel will retain full ownership of its Coatings activities and Global Business Services organization. It says the planned divestments mark the conclusion of its Asian Decorative Paints portfolio review and that it will now continue to fully focus on the successful closing of its merger with Axalta.
