What specific governance changes did Axalta and AkzoNobel make to their merger agreement?

Axalta and AkzoNobel amended their merger agreement to refine governance terms for their pending all-share merger of equals, specifically adjusting the initial director term to three years with annual re-election and establishing a two-thirds approval threshold for critical decisions by non-executive directors during that period.

Do the governance amendments affect the scheduled shareholder meetings or the proposed Articles of Association?

No—the August 5, 2026, shareholder meetings for both companies will proceed as planned with existing agendas, because these governance enhancements do not require changes to the proposed Articles of Association.
