GMS Inc. filings document the former public company’s building products distribution business, capital structure and completed corporate transition. Its records include Form 8-K disclosures for operating results, material events, merger-related matters, senior notes redemption activity and governance or shareholder matters tied to the company’s common stock.
Later filings record GMS’s completed acquisition by The Home Depot, removal of its common stock from NYSE listing through Form 25, and Form 15 certification to terminate or suspend Exchange Act reporting obligations.
GMS Inc. filed an amendment to its tender offer recommendation related to the proposed acquisition by The Home Depot, Inc.. The amendment reiterates that Home Depot, through its subsidiary Gold Acquisition Sub, has offered to purchase all outstanding GMS common shares at $110.00 per share in cash, subject to any required tax withholding, under the existing Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal.
The key update is a change in timing. The tender offer, which had been scheduled to expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 22, 2025, has been extended to one minute after 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 3, 2025, with the possibility of further extension as permitted by the merger agreement. The amendment also adds a reference to a related Home Depot press release as an exhibit.

GMS Inc. filed an amendment to its recommendation statement regarding The Home Depot’s cash tender offer to buy all outstanding GMS shares at $110.00 per share. The update explains that, under antitrust rules, Home Depot’s purchase could not close until a waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act expired or was ended early. On August 20, 2025, the Antitrust Division granted early termination of that waiting period, clearing this regulatory hurdle. The filing notes that the required waiting period for the offer will now expire in the ordinary course at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 5, 2025, unless it is earlier terminated by the Commissioner or extended through a Supplementary Information Request.

The filing was submitted by a single reporting person and signed by an attorney-in-fact.
