The disclosed financing element was a US$500 million tender offer linked to the acquisition, under which Owens Corning offered to buy Masonite's 5.375% Senior Notes due 2028 and sought related consents from noteholders. That identifies a debt tender and consent solicitation as part of the transaction package.
A notable feature of the deal is that Owens Corning paired the Masonite acquisition with a liability-management step targeting Masonite's 2028 senior notes. The process included both a purchase offer and a consent solicitation for those securities.
