#### Introductory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 5, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among MasterBrand, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MasterBrand"), Maple Merger Sub, Inc., a Virginia corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of MasterBrand ("Merger Sub"), and American Woodmark Corporation, a Virginia corporation ("American Woodmark").

Effective as of May 28, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), American Woodmark completed its previously announced transaction with MasterBrand (the "Closing"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into American Woodmark (the "Merger") at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), with American Woodmark continuing as the surviving entity.

*Merger Consideration* 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of American Woodmark common stock outstanding was converted into the right to receive 5.150 shares of MasterBrand common stock (such ratio, the "Exchange Ratio"), plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares.

*Treatment of American Woodmark Equity Awards* 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the Effective Time, (i) each American Woodmark restricted stock unit (each, an "American Woodmark RSU") that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was, depending on the terms of the applicable award, either (1) converted into a MasterBrand restricted stock unit with respect to a corresponding number of shares of MasterBrand common stock based on the Exchange Ratio (with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share) or (2) converted into the right to receive a number of shares of MasterBrand common stock equal to the number of shares of American Woodmark common stock subject to the American Woodmark RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (with a cash payment in respect of any fractional shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement), less any applicable tax withholding, (ii) except as described below, each American Woodmark performance stock unit (each, an "American Woodmark PSU") that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into a MasterBrand restricted stock unit with respect to a corresponding number of shares of MasterBrand common stock (determined based upon actual or superior performance levels, as applicable) based on the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (iii) each American Woodmark cash-settled restricted stock tracking unit outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was assumed and converted into a MasterBrand cash-settled restricted stock tracking unit relating to a corresponding number of shares of MasterBrand common stock (with any performance-based vesting conditions determined based upon superior performance levels) based on the Exchange Ratio (with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share). Each option to purchase shares of American Woodmark common stock and American Woodmark PSUs granted to American Woodmark executive officers on September 5, 2023, were determined (based on the achievement of actual performance through the Effective Time) not to have been earned and, as a result, were automatically cancelled without any payment or other consideration at the Effective Time.

The foregoing description of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to American Woodmark's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 6, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The total number of shares of MasterBrand common stock issuable as consideration with respect to the Merger (including with respect to the converted American Woodmark RSUs as described above) is approximately 77,031,379 million shares. The shares of MasterBrand common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-290071) filed by MasterBrand with the SEC on September 5, 2025, as amended on September 23, 2025, and declared effective by the SEC on September 25, 2025.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, American Woodmark notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") of the Closing and requested that Nasdaq suspend trading of American Woodmark common stock and withdraw American Woodmark common stock from listing on Nasdaq. Upon American Woodmark's request, Nasdaq will file a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with the SEC with respect to the delisting of American Woodmark common stock and the deregistration of American Woodmark common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As a result, American Woodmark common stock will no longer be listed on Nasdaq, effective May 29, 2026.

In addition, following the effectiveness of the Form 25, American Woodmark intends to file with the SEC a certification and notice on Form 15 under the Exchange Act requesting the deregistration of the American Woodmark common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of American Woodmark's reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

## Exhibit 3.1

**Exhibit 3.1** 

**AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION** 

**OF** 

**AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION** 

**Article I. <u>Name</u>.** The name of the corporation (the "Corporation") is American Woodmark Corporation.

**Article II. <u>Purpose</u>.** The purpose for which the Corporation is formed is to engage in any lawful business. In addition, the Corporation shall have the same powers as an individual to do all things necessary or convenient to carry out its business and affairs.

**Article III. <u>Authorized Stock</u>.** The aggregate number of shares that the Corporation shall have authority to issue, and the par value per share, are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Class and Series** | **Number<br>of Shares** | **Par Value** |
|  Common Stock | 5000 | $0.01 |

---

The holders of the Common Stock shall have unlimited voting rights and shall be entitled to receive the net assets of the Corporation upon dissolution. No holders of any class or series of stock shall have the preemptive right to acquire unissued shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation.

**Article IV. <u>Elimination of Liability of Directors and Officers</u>**. In any proceeding brought by or in the right of the Corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the Corporation, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages with respect to any transaction, occurrence or course of conduct, whether prior or subsequent to the effective date of this Article, except for liability resulting from his having engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law, including without limitation, any claim of unlawful insider trading or manipulation of the market for any security.

**Article V. <u>Indemnification</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. <u>Definitions</u>. For purposes of this Article the following definitions shall apply:

"Expenses" include counsel fees, expert witness fees, and costs of investigation, litigation and appeal, as well as any amounts expended in asserting a claim for indemnification.

"Liability" means the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, or other such obligation, including, without limitation, any excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan.

"Legal entity" means a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

"Predecessor entity" means a legal entity the existence of which ceased upon its acquisition by the Corporation in a merger or otherwise.

"Proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, proceeding or appea1 whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. <u>Indemnification of Directors and Officers</u>. The Corporation shall indemnify an individual who is, was or is threatened to be made a part to any proceeding (including a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation) because he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or because, while a director or officer of the Corporation, he is or was serving the Corporation or any other legal entity in any capacity at the request of the Corporation against all liabilities and reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding except such liabilities and expenses incurred because of his willful misconduct or knowing violation of the criminal law. Service as a director or officer of a subsidiary of the Corporation shall be deemed service at the request of the Corporation. The determination that indemnification under this Paragraph B is permissible and the evaluation as to the reasonableness of expenses in a specific case shall be made as provided by law; provided, however, that if a majority of the directors of the Corporation has changed after the date of the alleged conduct giving rise to a claim for indemnification, such determination and evaluation shall, at the option of the person claiming indemnification, be made by special legal counsel agreed upon by the Board of Directors and such person. Unless a determination has been made that indemnification is not permissible, the Corporation shall make advances and reimbursements for expenses incurred by a director or officer in a proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking from him to repay the same if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification. Such undertaking shall be an unlimited, unsecured general obligation of the director or officer and shall be accepted without reference to his ability to make repayment. The termination of proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that a director or officer acted in such a manner as to make him ineligible for indemnification. The Corporation is authorized to contract in advance to indemnify any of its directors or officers to the same extent as provided in this Paragraph B.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. <u>Indemnification of Others</u>. The Corporation may, to a lesser extent or to the same extent that the Corporation is required under Paragraph B to provide indemnification and make advances and reimbursements for expenses to its directors and officers, provide indemnification and make advances and reimbursements for expenses to its employees and agents, to the directors, officers, employees and agents of its subsidiaries and predecessor entities, and to any person serving any other legal entity in any capacity at the request of the Corporation, and, if authorized by general or specific action of the Board of Directors, may contract in advance to do so. The determination that indemnification under this Paragraph C is permissible, the authorization of such indemnification and the evaluation as to the reasonableness of expenses in a specific case shall be made as authorized from time to time by general or specific action of the Board of Directors, which action may be taken before or after a claim for indemnification is made, or as otherwise provided by law. No person's rights under Paragraph B of this Article shall be limited by the provisions of this Paragraph C.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. <u>Miscellaneous</u>. Every reference in this Article to persons who are or may be entitled to indemnification shall include all persons who formerly occupied any of the positions referred to and their respective heirs, executors and administrators. Special legal counsel selected to make determinations under this Article may be counsel for the Corporation. Indemnification pursuant to this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right of indemnification to which any person may be entitled, including indemnification pursuant to a valid contract, indemnification by legal entities other than the Corporation and indemnification under policies of insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or others. However, no person shall be entitled to indemnification by the Corporation to the extent he is indemnified by another, including an insurer. The Corporation is authorized to purchase and maintain insurance against any liability it may have under this Article or to protect any of the persons named above against any liability arising from their service to the Corporation or any other legal entity at the request of the Corporation regardless of the Corporation's power to indemnify against or to eliminate such liability. If any provision of this Article or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Article, and to this end the provisions of this Article are severable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. <u>Application</u>. The provisions of this Article shall apply to indemnification and advances and reimbursements for expenses after the date of this Article's adoption, whether arising from conduct or events before or after such date. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Article shall diminish the rights provided hereunder with respect to any claim arising from conduct or events before the date of such amendment, modification or repeal.

**MasterBrand and American Woodmark Successfully Complete Merger Transaction** 

*Transaction Enhances the Industry's Most Comprehensive Portfolio of Trusted Cabinet Brands and Products* 

BEACHWOOD, Ohio and WINCHESTER, Virginia. – May 28, 2026 – MasterBrand, Inc. (NYSE: MBC) ("MasterBrand") and American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) ("American Woodmark"), today announced the successful completion of their previously announced all-stock merger transaction. The combined company establishes the most comprehensive portfolio of trusted cabinetry brands and products in North America, with expanded geographic reach, financial strength, and enhanced capabilities to better serve customers and consumers.

The combined company will have an expanded operational footprint, which is expected to deliver greater overall choice, superior service, and enhanced value to customers and consumers across the full value chain. By uniting two organizations rooted in customer-oriented values and operational excellence, MasterBrand will build a stronger, more resilient enterprise well-positioned to advance innovation, drive sustainable growth, and deliver value for all stakeholders. The combined company is expected to unlock approximately $90 million of annual run-rate cost synergies by the end of year three and be accretive to adjusted diluted earnings per share in year two. These assumptions only reflect the operating environment as of the date of this press release, including the impact of those tariffs currently in effect, and do not reflect any future tariff increases or potential impacts on company costs or market demand.

"Today marks a transformative milestone for MasterBrand," said Dave Banyard, President and Chief Executive Officer of MasterBrand. "The transaction brings together two industry leaders with complementary strengths, positioning us to deliver exceptional choice, quality, and service to our customers, while creating enhanced long-term value for shareholders. Our immediate focus turns to integration – bringing together our people, operations, and capabilities in a way that accelerates value creation for all stakeholders. We are excited to unite our talented teams as we embark on this next chapter of growth."

**Transaction Details** 

Under the terms of the previously announced merger agreement, American Woodmark shareholders received a fixed exchange ratio of 5.150 shares of MasterBrand common stock for each share of American Woodmark common stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. The pre-closing MasterBrand shares remain outstanding and currently represent approximately 63% of the combined company's shares outstanding. The combined company will operate under the name MasterBrand, Inc. and its shares will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "MBC". As a result of the completion of the merger, the common stock of American Woodmark will be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market.

As previously announced, Mr. Banyard will remain as President and Chief Executive Officer of MasterBrand.

Three former American Woodmark directors, Andrew Cogan, Philip Fracassa, and Daniel Hendrix joined MasterBrand's Board of Directors as independent directors upon completion of the transaction. Mr. David Petratis will remain as Chairman of the Board of Directors of MasterBrand. Given that the closing is occurring prior to MasterBrand's Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 4, 2026 (the "Annual Meeting") and because Mr. Fracassa is being added to Class I of the MasterBrand Board of Directors, as previously disclosed, Mr. Fracassa will be up for re-election with the other Class I directors at the Annual Meeting. Further information regarding the Annual Meeting and election of directors is available in the proxy statement filed by MasterBrand with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 2026.

American Woodmark is now a wholly owned subsidiary of MasterBrand, and the combined company will continue to operate under the MasterBrand name. MasterBrand is headquartered in Beachwood, Ohio and will maintain a presence in Winchester, Virginia.
