Steelcase (NYSE: SCS) details HNI merger stock and cash election terms

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Steelcase Inc. vice president and Chief People Officer filed a Form 4 reporting changes in ownership tied to the completion of Steelcase’s merger with HNI Corporation. Steelcase became a wholly owned subsidiary of HNI under an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 3, 2025.

At the first effective time of the merger, each share of Steelcase Class A common stock was converted, at the holder’s election and subject to automatic adjustment, into one of three forms of consideration: a mixed package of 0.2192 HNI shares plus $7.20 in cash per share, a primarily cash package of $16.19 plus 0.0009 HNI shares per share, or an all‑stock election of 0.3940 HNI shares per share.

Unvested restricted stock units and performance units were assumed by HNI and converted into cash‑ and stock‑settled restricted stock unit awards, with amounts based on Steelcase’s actual performance and as if the holder had elected the mixed consideration. Several lines in the table reflect deemed acquisitions and disposals as the original Steelcase equity awards were replaced by HNI‑denominated awards.
