• Luxfer Holdings agreed to be acquired by Wynnchurch Capital affiliates in an all-cash deal valued at $17.37 per ordinary share.
• The offer represents a 30.7% premium to Luxfer’s $13.29 closing share price on April 28, 2026, before its strategic review announcement.

Luxfer Holdings (NYSE:LXFR) has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by affiliates of Wynnchurch Capital in an all-cash transaction that will pay shareholders $17.37 per ordinary share.

The purchase price represents a 30.7% premium to Luxfer’s closing share price of $13.29 on April 28, 2026, the last trading day before the company announced its first quarter 2026 strategic review.

“Over the past several years, we have strengthened Luxfer through disciplined operational execution, enhanced our positions in attractive end markets and invested in differentiated technologies,” said Luxfer Chief Executive Officer Andy Butcher.

The transaction is expected to close before the end of 2026, subject to shareholder approval, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, and Luxfer stated the agreement does not include financing conditions.

Luxfer said the deal will result in the company becoming privately held and its ordinary shares will no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange.

Luxfer operates as an advanced materials company serving aerospace, defense and industrial markets through its two business segments focused on engineered materials and related applications.

The company stated that it has focused on operational improvements, technology investment and expanding its market positions in recent years, while Wynnchurch stated that it plans to support future investments and potential acquisitions.
