Insights

Gentherm outlines a complex Reverse Morris Trust combination with Modine’s SpinCo, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals.

The communication explains that Gentherm intends to combine with Modine Performance Technologies via a Reverse Morris Trust. Modine will spin off SpinCo, and Gentherm will file a Form S-4 containing a proxy statement/prospectus, while SpinCo will register on Form 10.

The structure is typically used to create a tax-efficient business combination, but the text focuses on required shareholder approval, regulatory consents and future financing arrangements. It notes that detailed terms, including combined indebtedness and targeted synergies, will appear in future SEC filings such as the proxy statement/prospectus.

How did this transaction come about? Who approached whom? Was it a competitive process?

 

   

Last year, we started segmenting our products and creating four core platforms of Thermal Management, Air Moving Devices, Pneumatic Solutions, and Valves.

 

   

From there, we began building out a strong pipeline of M&A opportunities that were aligned with our platforms and had the goal of accelerating our strategy.

 

   

We have been evaluating numerous opportunities over the year and found that Modine Performance Technologies fits this perfectly – complementary thermal management products in attractive markets we have been targeting.

How will Modine Performance Technologies be integrated into Gentherm once the transaction closes?

 

   

Modine Performance Technologies is currently part of Modine. Modine will separate Modine Performance Technologies into its own company, and that company will then combine with Gentherm.

 

   

Once the transaction is complete, we will continue to operate under the Gentherm name, and Bill Presley will continue to lead the company as CEO.

 

   

Our intent is to run Modine Performance Technologies as a division of Gentherm, where Jeremy Patten, the current President of that business will continue in his role.

 

   

The Modine Climate Solutions business that remains with Modine will transform into a pure-play climate solutions company.

 

   

Our goal will be to ensure each business is able to continue excelling at what they do best, while also allowing us to capture the exciting commercial opportunities this unlocks for us.

How does this accelerate our strategic trajectory? Why is it better to combine with Modine Performance Technologies rather than remaining a standalone company?

 

   

This transaction accelerates the execution of our strategic framework with the combined company increasing its presence across multiple attractive end markets to drive profitable growth.

 

   

Together, we will further scale our thermal management solutions and expand our technologies and capabilities in precision flow management, building on the global leadership of Modine Performance Technologies in the commercial vehicle, heavy-duty equipment, and fast-growing power generation end markets.

 

   

Simply put, we can accomplish our goals faster than either company could achieve alone.

When do we expect the transaction to close?

 

   

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2026, subject to receipt of Gentherm shareholder approval, the completion of SpinCo financing, a customary IRS tax ruling, and customary closing conditions, including required regulatory approvals and certain tax opinions.

What does this mean for me?

 

   

There are no changes to your day-to-day responsibilities. Gentherm will continue to execute our 2026 priorities.

 

   

Until the transaction closes, which is expected in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2026, both companies will continue to operate independently.

What is a Reverse Morris Trust?

 

   

A Reverse Morris Trust, or RMT, is a type of transaction that allows Modine to separate Modine Performance Technologies and combine it with Gentherm in a way that is intended to be tax-free for Modine and Modine shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.


Technology to the next degreeTM

 

   

The RMT structure enables Gentherm to use a combination of cash and stock to purchase the Modine Performance Technologies business.

 

   

This structure preserves value for both companies and their shareholders, and allows more resources to be invested in growth, innovation, and our people rather than going to taxes.

 

   

Once the transaction closes, Gentherm and Modine shareholders are expected to own 60% and 40% of the combined company, respectively.

Will there be layoffs or organizational structure updates?

 

   

This transaction is about growth, and we will need the best of both businesses to advance our ambitious goals and make this transaction a success.

 

   

Our intent is to run Modine Performance Technologies as a division of Gentherm where Jeremy Patten will continue in his role as President.

 

   

As we always communicate, in today’s rapidly changing business environment, we must regularly evaluate our organizational structure and operations to optimize efficiency.

 

   

These are things we will look at and determine if necessary.

 

   

Any meaningful changes would be deliberate, thoughtful, and we are committed to providing our employees with updates on our business as they are available.

Will employees of either company have to relocate?

 

   

Our headquarters will remain in Novi, Michigan, and the Racine Modine Performance Technologies office will remain an important location.

No, we do not anticipate this transaction driving any significant changes to our total rewards philosophy, which drives our compensation and benefits programs.

 

   

Gentherm will continue to assess our relevant markets on an ongoing basis to deliver programs that motivate and retain our employees in the locations where we operate.

 

   

Any future changes would align with our total rewards philosophy and communicated transparently and with ample notice.

Will there be opportunities for growth and promotions?

Can you share more about the integration plan, including timeline, milestones and how associates will be supported throughout?

 

   

Our intent is to run Modine Performance Technologies as a division of Gentherm where Jeremy Patten will continue in his role as President, so the integration effort will be different than previous integrations.

 

   

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, Gentherm shareholder approval, and other customary closing conditions.

 

   

Today’s announcement is just the first step in the process. It is too early to discuss specifics.

 

   

We went through a rigorous due diligence process, but it is too early to speculate on integration activities, such as IT integration, employee payroll and benefits, customer meetings, etc.

 

   

We are committed to keeping you informed throughout the process.

When can we begin working with the Modine Performance Technologies team?

 

   

Between sign and close, we are only allowed to do integration planning. This is a strict legal requirement.

 

   

If we need your support, we will ask for your assistance.

Can I reach out to my peers and get to know them?

 

   

No. Please wait for directed next steps.

 

   

We will curate introductions as needed.

 

   

We want to avoid business distractions and avoid legal challenges during the sign-to-close period.

What different functions can help with integration activities?

 

   

As mentioned, our intent is to run Modine Performance Technologies as a division of Gentherm.

 

   

As an example, there will be integration of activities, such as payroll, and we will enlist support from subject matter experts as needed.

Will there be leadership changes?

 

   

Upon closing, Bill Presley will continue his role as CEO of the combined organization.

 

   

Our intent is to run Modine Performance Technologies as a division of Gentherm, where Jeremy Patten, the current President of that business will continue in his role.

What is Modine Performance Technologies’ culture like? Will this transaction change our culture and values?

Put simply, our capabilities fit together and we believe that, as one company, we will be stronger than ever before.

 

   

We will benefit from Modine Performance Technologies’ well-established operating system and continuous improvement culture, alongside our culture of operational excellence.

 

   

Together, we will be an essential technology provider in a broader set of end markets, each with positive growth outlooks and significant long-term tailwinds. We believe that we will have a stronger foundation with more balanced end-market exposure and ample opportunities for future growth.

 

   

We look forward to amplifying the strengths of both cultures.

How will this impact our customers/suppliers? When will they be alerted?
