Amendment Announcing Extension of Tender Offer

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2022 (the “Schedule TO”) by (i) Woodgrain Inc., an Oregon corporation (“Parent”) and (ii) HBP Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”). The Schedule TO relates to the tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the “Shares”) of Huttig Building Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Huttig”), at a price of $10.70 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated March 28, 2022 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO, and in the related letter of transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Items 1 through 9; Item 11.

The disclosure in the Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO is amended and supplemented to add the following:

The Expiration Date is extended to 11:59 p.m. New York City time on May 2, 2022. The Offer is being extended to give stockholders of Huttig more time to complete the documentation required to tender shares into the Offer, to extend the period for Woodgrain’s lender to syndicate the loan to finance the transaction, and to allow participants in Huttig’s auction process who signed nondisclosure letters sufficient time to consider clarifying disclosures made by Huttig regarding the standstill provisions in the letters. As of Friday, April 22, 2022 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, 8,047,767 Shares have been tendered by stockholders and not withdrawn, representing approximately 29.4% of the outstanding shares.


Item 11. Additional Information

The supplemental disclosures below should be read in conjunction with the Schedule TO in its entirety. Inclusion of the disclosures below is not an admission that they are material or legally required.

The disclosure in the Offer to Purchase and Item 11 of the Schedule TO is amended and supplemented by making the following modifications to Section 16—“Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals – U.S. Antitrust Compliance:

The final paragraph is deleted and replaced by the following text:

“The waiting period under the HSR Act expired, effective April 12, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Accordingly, the condition to the Offer relating to the termination or expiration of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act (and any extension thereof, including under any agreement entered into in compliance with the Merger Agreement between a party and a governmental authority agreeing not to consummate the Offer or the Merger prior to a certain date) applicable to the Offer or the Merger, has been satisfied.”

The disclosure in the Offer to Purchase and Item 11 of the Schedule TO is amended and supplemented by inserting the following paragraphs in Section 16 — “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals”:

Delaware Court of Chancery Complaint

A putative class action complaint relating to the Offer and the Merger captioned Reith v. Huttig Building Products, Inc. et al., Case No. 2022-0332, was filed on April 14, 2022, as amended on April 23, 2022, by a purported Huttig stockholder in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The putative class action complaint names as defendants Huttig, the members of the Huttig Board, Parent and Merger Sub. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub has yet received a summons and complaint from the plaintiff.

The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Huttig Board breached its fiduciary duties to Huttig stockholders in connection with the Offer and the Merger by (i) executing nondisclosure agreements with prospective bidders that contain “don’t-ask-don’t-waive” standstills and failing to waive the standstills following Huttig’s entry into the Merger Agreement, (ii) executing the Merger Agreement that, according to its terms and in conjunction with the standstills, impedes the Huttig Board’s ability to consider and accept superior proposals and restricts the flow of information necessary to permit the Huttig Board to act on an informed basis and determine whether the Offer and the Merger are reasonable and in the best interest of Huttig stockholders and (iii) misleading Huttig stockholders with respect to the terms of the nondisclosure agreements entered into with other parties during the sale process and the Huttig Board’s ability to receive unsolicited offers from these parties. The complaint also alleges that the Offer Price is inadequate and that Parent and Merger Sub aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duty by the Huttig Board.


Woodgrain does not believe the complaint has any merit, either with respect to aider and abettor claims or with respect to the underlying substantive claims. For example, the nondisclosure agreements with prospective bidders did not have the effect of a so-called “don’t-ask-don’t-waive” standstill provisions because they included an express exception permitting bidders that were invited by the Huttig Board to submit one or more private indications of interest with respect to a proposed acquisition of Huttig and all counterparties to such agreements were so invited. Huttig has informed Parent and Merger Sub that it interprets the invitation to all counterparties as permitting such parties to make private indications of interest to the Huttig Board and that, for clarity, Huttig will state that any party that received the bid instruction letter may submit one or more private indications of interest to the Huttig Board with respect to a proposed acquisition transaction without violating the standstill provision in the nondisclosure agreements and any such party may rely on Huttig’s statement.
