BlueLinx Responds to Misleading Public Statements by Bluefin Acquisitions

BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), a leading distributor of building and industrial products in the United States, responded further to the recent misleading public statements by an investment firm that goes by the name of Bluefin Acquisitions, LLC. regarding its purported tender offer.

In two recent press releases, Bluefin Acquisitions claimed that it was making, and then confirming, a tender offer to acquire at least 35% of the Company’s common stock at a price of $24.50 per share, and that Morrow Sodali LLC had been engaged as its information agent.  Bluefin Acquisitions went on to claim that it would, in connection therewith, file related tender offer materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) no later than today, Monday, February 24, 2020.

However, no tender offer materials have been filed with the SEC.  In addition, the Company understands that Morrow Sodali has terminated its engagement with Bluefin Acquisitions and is no longer serving as information agent in connection with the purported offer.

The Company does not believe that this purported offer is, or was, legitimate or credible.  Moreover, the Company believes that the purported offeror’s actions may be unlawful, and false and misleading in violation of the U.S. securities laws, because they failed to comply with the filing and disclosure requirements under those laws.

We once again urge public investors to approach any further communications from the purported offeror with caution, and to rely only on tender offer materials that are properly filed with the SEC.
