Sealed Air (NYSE:SEE) today announced that it has received all required regulatory approvals for its pending acquisition by funds affiliated with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R).
The receipt of these clearances follows the overwhelming approval of the merger by Sealed Air stockholders on February 25, 2026, and marks the final major obstacle in the company’s transition to private ownership.
The transaction is now expected to close in April 2026, subject only to the satisfaction of remaining customary closing conditions.
The all-cash transaction values Sealed Air at an enterprise value of approximately $10.3 billion.
Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Sealed Air stockholders will receive $42.15 per share in cash.
This consideration represents a 41% premium to the company's unaffected stock price on August 14, 2025, and a 24% premium to the 90-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) leading up to the formal announcement in November.
