On April 13, 2026, Somnigroup International Inc. (NYSE: SGI, “Somnigroup”) and Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (NYSE: LEG, “Leggett & Platt”) issued a joint
press release announcing the execution of a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) for a proposed business acquisition in which Somnigroup, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, will acquire Leggett & Platt in an all-stock transaction
valued at approximately $2.5 billion. Somnigroup also furnished an investor presentation (the “Investor Presentation”) regarding the proposed transaction. The Investor Presentation will be used from time to time in meetings with investors. A copy
of the press release and Investor Presentation are furnished hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 (including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liability of that section and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report, including the information incorporated by reference herein, contains statements that may be characterized as “forward-looking” within the meaning
of the federal securities laws. Such statements might include information concerning one or more of Somnigroup’s and Leggett & Platt’s plans, guidance, objectives, goals, strategies and other information that is not historical information. When
used in this Current Report, the words “will,” “targets,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “proposed,” “intends,” “outlook” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to Somnigroup’s expectations regarding the impact of the proposed transaction on Somnigroup’s brands, products, customer base, results of operations, or financial position,
its share repurchases, adjusted EPS, net leverage, operating cash flow, net income, future performance, cost and run-rate synergies, funding sources, expected capital structure, the financial impact of Leggett & Platt’s existing long-term debt,
ability to deleverage after the proposed transaction, the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the proposed transaction, the integration of Leggett & Platt with Somnigroup’s business and personnel and Somnigroup’s and Leggett &
Platt’s post-acquisition financial reporting. Any forward-looking statements contained herein are based upon current expectations and beliefs and various assumptions. There can be no assurance that these expectations or beliefs will prove correct.
Numerous factors, many of which are beyond Somnigroup’s and Leggett & Platt’s control, could cause actual results to differ materially from any that may be
expressed herein as forward-looking statements. These potential risks include risks associated with Leggett & Platt’s ongoing operations; the ability to obtain the requisite Leggett & Platt shareholder approval; the risk that Somnigroup or
Leggett & Platt may be unable to obtain governmental and regulatory approvals required for the proposed transaction (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or
the expected benefits of the proposed transaction); the risk that an event, change or other circumstance could give rise to the termination of the proposed transaction; the risk of delays in completing the proposed transaction; the ability to
successfully integrate Leggett & Platt into Somnigroup’s operations and realize synergies from the proposed transaction and the expected run-rate of such synergies; the possibility that the expected benefits of the acquisition are not realized
when expected or at all; the risk that any announcement relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of Somnigroup’s or Leggett & Platt’s common stock; the risk of litigation related to the proposed
transaction; the diversion of management time from ongoing business operations and opportunities as a result of the proposed transaction; the risk of adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from
the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; general economic, financial and industry conditions, particularly conditions relating to the financial performance and related credit issues present in the retail sector, as well as
consumer confidence and the availability of consumer financing; the impact of the macroeconomic environment in both the U.S. and internationally on Somnigroup and Leggett & Platt; uncertainties arising from national and global events; industry
competition; the effects of consolidation of retailers on revenues and costs; consumer acceptance and changes in demand for Somnigroup’s and Leggett & Platt’s products; and other risks inherent in Somnigroup’s and Leggett & Platt’s
businesses.
All such factors are difficult to predict, are beyond Somnigroup’s and Leggett & Platt’s control and are subject to additional risks and uncertainties, including
those detailed in Somnigroup’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and those detailed in Leggett & Platt’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. These risks, as well as other risks related
to the proposed transaction, will be included in the Form S-4 and proxy statement/prospectus (each as defined below) that Somnigroup and Leggett & Platt intend to file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in
connection with the proposed transaction. There may be other factors that may cause Somnigroup’s and Leggett & Platt’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Neither Somnigroup nor Leggett & Platt
undertakes any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report is not intended to be, and shall not constitute, an offer to sell, buy or exchange or the solicitation of an offer to sell, buy or exchange any
securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any
such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed transaction, Somnigroup intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”) that will include a proxy
statement of Leggett & Platt and that will also constitute a prospectus of Somnigroup with respect to the shares of Somnigroup common stock to be issued in the proposed transaction (the “proxy statement/prospectus”). The definitive proxy

transaction.
