San Diego, California--(Newsfile Corp. - March 27, 2025) - Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, PLLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of The AZEK Company Inc. (NYSE: AZEK) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to James Hardie Industries plc.

On March 24, 2025, AZEK announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with James Hardie. Under the terms of the Agreement, AZEK shareholders will receive $26.45 in cash and 1.0340 ordinary shares of James Hardie to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for each share of AZEK common stock they own. The stock and cash consideration represents a total per share value of $56.88, based on the closing stock price of James Hardie's closing stock price listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on March 21, 2025.

The investigation concerns whether the AZEK board failed to satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for AZEK shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given one Wall Street analyst has a $64 price target on the stock.
