Somnigroup International Inc. NYSE: SGI 

**Leggett & Platt shareholders voted to approve the merger with Somnigroup International**, the Carthage, Missouri manufacturer said on 20 August 2026\. The company added that **one required regulatory approval is still outstanding** and that it expects the transaction to close once the remaining conditions are met.

The deal rests on an agreement and plan of merger **dated 13 April 2026** between Somnigroup, Leggett & Platt and Sparrow Unity Corporation, a Missouri company wholly owned by Somnigroup. Under that structure, **Sparrow Unity merges into Leggett & Platt, which survives as a wholly owned subsidiary of Somnigroup**. That is a standard reverse triangular merger: the acquirer forms a shell subsidiary, the shell disappears into the target, and the target continues to exist under new ownership rather than being dissolved.

The announcement is short on detail beyond the vote itself. **Leggett & Platt disclosed no vote totals, no transaction value and no expected closing date**. It did not name which regulator has yet to sign off. Readers looking for the consideration payable to Leggett shareholders would need to go to the Form S-4 and the proxy statement/prospectus that the two companies filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; the release refers to those documents but does not summarise their terms.

Both parties are New York Stock Exchange–listed rather than micro-caps. Leggett & Platt trades under LEG and describes itself as a 143-year-old diversified manufacturer of bedding components, automotive seat comfort systems, furniture components, geo components, flooring underlayment and hydraulic cylinders. Somnigroup trades under SGI.

The company's own risk disclosure sets out what could still go wrong: conditions that may not be satisfied or waived, including governmental and regulatory approvals; events that could delay completion or lead to termination of the merger agreement; litigation that could produce an injunction blocking the deal or a damages award; and disruption to business relationships while the outcome is uncertain. It also flags **significant transaction and merger-related costs** tied to the deal, and the possibility that the expected benefits are not realised when expected or at all.

For now, the shareholder condition is cleared and **the timing of closing depends on the remaining regulatory clearance**, which the company did not put a date on.
