LCI board rejects Monomoy’s revised $104.50 offer
LCI Industries (LCII) rejected Monomoy Capital Partners' revised $104.50 per share cash offer, deeming it inferior to its pending merger with Patrick Industries (PATK). The board cited a long-range plan valuing LCI at over $150 per share. LCI shares traded above the offer price after Q3 results. Proxy advisors recommend shareholders approve the Patrick merger, expected to close in 2027.
