“Through their commitment to high performance and integrity, both Jai and Rick have garnered the respect of employees and other key stakeholders they have worked with throughout the years. Their insight, leadership, and commitment have helped shape our organization, and their contributions will continue to impact the organization for years to come,” said Jon Nudi, Masco’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Company has implemented plans to ensure a smooth transition, enhance its procurement expertise, and further streamline the organization. In conjunction with these plans, the Company is announcing the following leadership appointments, all of whom will report to Jon Nudi:

Lastly, Hans-Juergen Kalmbach, President of Hansgrohe, and Steve Stigers, President of Watkins Wellness, will remain on the Executive Committee and will report to Jon Nudi. With this reporting change, the leaders of Masco’s four largest businesses – Behr Paint Company, Delta Faucet Company, Hansgrohe, and Watkins Wellness -- will report directly to Nudi, further streamlining the Executive Committee.

Nudi concluded, “On behalf of Masco and the countless employees who have worked alongside Jai and Rick, I extend our deepest gratitude to them for their years of dedicated service and meaningful contributions.

The completion of the distribution is subject to satisfaction of a number of customary conditions, including the SEC having declared effective TopBuild's Registration Statement on Form 10.
Masco expects to receive an opinion from its special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, confirming the tax-free status of the spin-off to Masco and its stockholders (except to the extent of cash received in lieu of fractional shares).
Masco expects that a "when-issued" public trading market for TopBuild common stock will commence on or about June 17, 2015 under the symbol “BLD WI”, and will continue through the distribution date. Masco also anticipates that "regular way" trading of TopBuild common stock will begin on July 1, 2015, the first trading day following the distribution date.
Masco expects that, beginning on or about June 17, 2015, and through the distribution date, there will be two ways to trade Masco common stock – either with or without the distribution of TopBuild common stock. Masco stockholders who sell their shares of Masco common stock in the "regular-way" market (that is, the normal trading market on the NYSE under the symbol "MAS") after the June 19 record date and on or prior to the June 30 distribution date will be selling their right to receive shares of TopBuild common stock in connection with the spin-off. Masco also expects that shares of Masco common stock will trade ex-distribution (that is, without the right to receive the TopBuild distribution) during this period under the symbol "MAS WI." Investors are encouraged to consult with their financial advisors regarding the specific implications of buying or selling shares of Masco common stock on or before the distribution date.
Greenhill & Co., LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as financial advisors to Masco regarding the spin-off.

New products and program wins at Behr Process and Liberty Hardware drove the performance of our Decorative Architectural segment, and our Installation and Other Services segment capitalized on the housing recovery and ongoing growth of its commercial business. Our window businesses also benefitted from improving macro trends in their respective markets and continued success from recently introduced products.

In September, we announced the spin-off of our Services Business and remain on-track for it to be complete by mid-year 2015. Additionally, the restructuring of our corporate office has resulted in a leaner operating model, yielding annual savings of approximately $35-40 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2014 we repurchased 1.4 percent of our outstanding shares or 5 million shares.”

Masco Announces Strategic Initiatives to Drive Shareholder Value: Company to Spin-Off Installation and Other Services Segment, Initiate Significant Share Repurchase Program and Reduce Corporate Expense (9/30/14)
TAYLOR, Mich., Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS) today announced its Board of Directors has approved the strategic initiatives recommended by management under the leadership of Keith Allman, its President and Chief Executive Officer.
The strategic initiatives, which are designed to drive shareholder value over the mid- to long-term, are comprised of:
•The spin-off of 100 percent of Masco's Installation and Other Services businesses ("Services Business") into an independent, publicly-traded company through a tax-free stock distribution to Masco's shareholders
•The implementation of a share repurchase program for an aggregate of 50 million shares of Masco's common stock
•The reduction of corporate expense and simplification of Masco's organizational structure, resulting in an estimated charge of approximately $30 million over the next several quarters with anticipated company-wide annual savings of $35-40 million
Mr. Allman stated, "Today's transformative actions reflect our continued commitment to enhance shareholder value through the active management of our portfolio, effective capital allocation, cost control, and organizational focus. As separate companies, both Masco and the Services Business will have greater flexibility to focus on and pursue their respective growth strategies. In addition, the actions we are taking at the corporate office are intended to improve our cost position and drive value across our enterprise. Masco remains committed to creating shareholder value by profitably growing in branded building products."
Mr. Allman continued, "Over the past several years, Masco has strengthened the Services Business by reducing fixed costs and implementing lean processes to achieve supply chain savings. As such, we believe the Services Business is now properly positioned to operate as a separate company. The Services Business will focus on growth by capitalizing on North American new home construction as well as further expanding into commercial and retrofit categories. Masco shareholders stand to benefit from the additional value created by the spin-off."
Masco is pleased to announce the Service Business management team:
•Jerry Volas, currently Masco Group President, will become the Chief Executive Officer
•Robert Buck, currently Masco Contractor Services' President, will become the President and Chief Operating Officer
•John Peterson, currently Masco Contractor Services' Chief Financial Officer, will become the Chief Financial Officer
All three have extensive industry experience and have been instrumental in positioning the Services Business for growth and profitability.
Masco also announced today that its Board has approved the repurchase of an aggregate of 50 million shares of the Company's common stock, which represents approximately 14 percent of Masco's currently outstanding shares. Repurchases are expected to be made over a multi-year period beginning in 2014. The repurchases will be funded through cash on hand and operating cash flow. As of June 30, 2014, cash on hand was $1.4 billion.
Mr. Allman added, "This authorization reflects the Board's continued confidence in Masco's future performance, our ability to generate long-term cash flow, the strength of Masco's liquidity, and our ongoing commitment to create shareholder value."
The Company will hold an investor day on February 9, 2015 in New York at which time it will discuss its outlook for 2015 and the long-term growth strategy for each of its businesses.
Masco
Following the separation, Masco will continue to be listed on the NYSE under "MAS," and will remain headquartered in Taylor, Michigan. Masco will continue to build on its leading positions in branded building products.
New Services Business
Masco's Installation and Other Services segment, which includes Masco Contractor Services, the leading installer of insulation in the U.S., and Service Partners, a leading distributor of residential insulation products and related accessories in the U.S., reported revenue of $1.4 billion in 2013. This segment is comprised of 190 branch locations and 70 distribution centers and its revenue has achieved a compounded annual growth rate of nearly 11 percent since 2010. The Services Business will be headquartered in Central Florida.
Next Steps
The proposed separation is subject to customary conditions, including receipt of any required regulatory approvals, an opinion of counsel regarding the tax-free nature of the separation, the effectiveness of a Form 10 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and final approval by Masco's Board of Directors. Masco expects to complete the separation by mid- 2015.

Investors Hope Masco Goes to Pieces (6/17/14)
Shares Surged After CEO's Comments
Masco Corp., maker of some of the best-known products in the home-improvement and home-construction business, is suddenly in favor on Wall Street. The reason: speculation that the company will spin off or sell some of its top brands.
Masco is one of the largest vendors to Home Depot Inc. and Lowe's Cos., which sell hundreds of the company's products including Delta faucets, KraftMaid cabinets, Behr paints and Milgard windows and doors. The company also sells to home builders and installs its products in homes under construction.
But at an investor conference last month, Masco's new chief executive, Keith Allman, hinted that the company might have too many brands and divisions. He said he is reviewing Masco's multiple business lines and considering strategies to boost Masco's value.
The comments set off a rally that boosted Masco's common stock 11.5% in the past month, before a slight pullback in the past week. It closed Tuesday at $21.72, down 0.3% on the New York Stock Exchange but still near its 52-week high of $23.63 set in March.
In an interview this week, Mr. Allman said he hasn't yet made any major decisions about Masco's many businesses but indicated that big changes are ahead for the 85-year-old company.
"I view myself as a transformational leader," said Mr. Allman, who joined Masco in 1998 and oversaw its plumbing and North American cabinet divisions before his promotion to CEO in January. "That's how the board views me, and that's why they appointed me. I'm not a status-quo guy." He said possible changes could include divestitures, acquisitions, internal integrations or stock buybacks.
Many Wall Street analysts predict that Masco, based in Taylor, Mich., will make a move next year at the earliest, perhaps by divesting its cabinet-manufacturing division or the installation-services division that caters to home builders. Both divisions posted operating losses in the first quarter. Cabinets are losing sales due to increased competition while the installation business remains challenged even after significant cost-cutting, analysts say.
What Masco needs most, several analysts say, is a further improvement in the home-construction market to soak up excess capacity in its manufacturing plants. The company ramped up its capacity drastically in recent decades through acquisitions. Since the downturn, it has cut $600 million of fixed costs, closing 39 plants. But analysts say it still needs more production volume to help its businesses reach consistent profitability.
"It's kind of like having a Porsche engine in a VW frame," said Robert Wetenhall, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets. "The company is built to operate in a much more robust housing market. This would be a much more profitable company at 1.4 million housing starts [annually in the U.S.], but we'll be lucky to do 1 million this year."
Adding to the challenges at Masco, activist investor Daniel Loeb's Third Point LLC recently disclosed in a securities filing that it took a 1.3% stake in the company in the first quarter. A spokeswoman for Third Point, which bought 4.75 million Masco shares last quarter, declined to comment about Masco this week. Mr. Allman said he has spoken with Third Point, as he has with other investors, but he declined to elaborate.
Some analysts theorize that if Masco spun off some of its laggard divisions, its stronger units like plumbing and paint likely would get higher valuations from investors, they say.
Nishu Sood, a Deutsche Bank Securities analyst, estimates that breaking up Masco would yield value of roughly $27 a share, a 24% premium to Tuesday's closing price. "Our analysis showed that, in a portfolio as large as Masco's, there is some value that could be unlocked by taking some dramatic actions, like spinoffs or sales, and improving some of the businesses where margins have lagged its peers," Mr. Sood said.
Masco's origins date back to 1929, when Alex Manoogian started machining parts for the auto industry. In 1954, the company branched out into making single-handle faucets under the Delta brand. Masco expanded into cabinets in 1985 and into paint, windows and services in the 1990s.
The company's revenue swelled to more than $12.7 billion in 2006, then plummeted during the housing downturn, which left Masco with too much manufacturing capacity. The company posted losses from 2008 to 2012. Last year, things started to turn around and Masco reported net income of $272 million on revenue of $8.2 billion.
