 capacity and divestitures, including the divestiture of our GR business. Our ability to grow or restructure our business depends upon our ability to identify, negotiate and finance suitable arrangements. If we cannot successfully execute on such arrangements or receive any required regulatory approvals on a timely basis, we may be unable to generate desired returns, and our expectations of future results of operations, including cost savings and synergies, may not be achieved. Acquisitions, joint ventures, production capacity expansions and divestitures involve substantial risks, including:

•unforeseen difficulties in operations, technologies, products, services, accounting and personnel;

•increased cybersecurity threats or incidents;

•diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;

•unforeseen difficulties related to entering geographic regions, markets or product lines where we do not have prior experience;

•risks relating to obtaining sufficient financing;

•difficulty in integrating the acquired business’ standards, processes, procedures and controls with our existing operations;

•potential loss of key employees;

•unanticipated competitive responses;

•potential loss of customers or suppliers; and

•undisclosed or undiscovered liabilities or claims, or retention of unpredictable future liabilities.

Our failure to address these risks or other problems encountered in connection with our past or future acquisitions, including the acquisition of Masonite, investments and divestitures, including the divestiture of our GR business, could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of such transactions, incur unanticipated liabilities, and harm our business generally. On February 13, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of our GR business (see "Item 1 - Business - Overview"). There can be no assurance that we will obtain the required regulatory or third-party approvals and consents to the sale, or that we will close the sale within the anticipated time period, or at all. Future acquisitions and investments could also result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, or amortization expenses, or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, the anticipated benefits of our investments may not materialize.

We may not realize the growth opportunities and cost synergies that are anticipated from the acquisition of Masonite.

The benefits that are expected to result from the acquisition of Masonite will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities
