Announcement Regarding Anixter and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice


1.	Who is Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (“CD&R”) and why are they interested in purchasing Anixter?

CD&R is a leading private investment firm with a 40+ year history and is best known for helping the businesses it backs grow and prosper. The firm has a reputation for establishing strong collaborations with management to spur growth, inject new ideas, and support operational excellence. CD&R’s values-candor, courage, creativity, integrity, loyalty, passion, perseverance, respect, and teamwork-are very similar to Anixter’s Blue Book values, and demonstrate that the two companies have similar cultures that will work well together. CD&R also has a successful track record working in the industrial distribution sector. The similar culture and values, plus deep distribution expertise, make them an excellent partner for us.


2.	What are some of the benefits of being a private company?

One of the biggest benefits is the flexibility it will provide us to focus on our long-term strategy and goals while making the long-term investments we need to build the best possible platform for growth. Additionally, as a private company, we anticipate having less burdensome ongoing reporting requirements and will not incur all of the incremental expenses associated with public company reporting processes. Moreover, CD&R will bring their extensive industrial distribution sector experience to our board room, which will help us execute our strategic growth plans.


3.	How will the transaction work exactly?

A fund managed by CD&R, which includes capital managed on behalf of endowments, foundations and pension funds, will become the majority shareholder of the company. Bill Galvin, Anixter’s current President & CEO, and his executive team will continue to manage the company. Just like today’s Board of Directors for Anixter, we will rely on our new board of directors, which will include executives from CD&R, to help guide us on a strategic level as well offer operating support as required.


4.	What does this transaction with CD&R mean for me?

We believe it will be positive and provide more growth opportunities for all of us. Understandably, there will be questions regarding our organizational structure, job responsibilities, compensation and / or benefits as we move from a public company to a private company. Since we have not closed on the transaction, we cannot answer these questions in a very specific way. However, CD&R has been impressed with both our business and our people. They realize that the only reason we have an outstanding customer value proposition is because we have a talented and energized employee base across the globe.

We expect to close the transaction by the end of the first quarter of 2020, and at that time, we will be in a position to provide more detailed responses to your questions. So, for now, it’s business as usual for all employees.


5.	Will Anixter continue to make acquisitions as a private company?

We operate in a highly fragmented industry where there should be ongoing compelling opportunities for acquisitions with significant synergy potential. We will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that will align with our strategy and enhance our competitive positioning.


6.	What happens to the Anixter stock I own?

At the closing of the transaction, you will receive $81.00 for each share of Anixter stock you own just like other stockholders. We will no longer be publicly traded.
