Mattress Firm Holding Corp. (“Mattress Firm” or the “Company”), the nation's largest mattress retailer, today announced the completion of its previously announced acquisition by Steinhoff International Holdings N.V. (“Steinhoff”) (FRANKFURT: SNH). The acquisition was first announced by Mattress Firm on August 8, 2016 and closed and became effective today.

Steinhoff completed the acquisition of Mattress Firm concurrently with payment for the previously tendered shares in accordance with the merger agreement through a merger of an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary with Mattress Firm. All shares of Mattress Firm common stock not purchased in the tender offer (other than (i) treasury shares, (ii) shares owned by Steinhoff or Mattress Firm or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Steinhoff or Mattress Firm and (iii) shares held by a Mattress Firm stockholder who has properly exercised their dissenters’ rights of appraisal in respect of such shares) will be converted into the right to receive $64.00 per share. As a result of the completion of the transaction, the Company’s common stock will no longer be traded on the NASDAQ stock market.

Upon closing, Mattress Firm became a subsidiary of Steinhoff. Mattress Firm’s management, led by Steve Stagner, executive chairman, and Ken Murphy, president and CEO, will remain in place and continue to run Mattress Firm’s day-to-day activities.

“The transaction with Steinhoff is complete and I am delighted that Mattress Firm is now part of the Steinhoff organization,” commented Ken Murphy, president and CEO of Mattress Firm. “Steinhoff has a proven track record in the global mattress industry, and they share our vision for the growth and expansion of Mattress Firm. This is an exciting event for our customers, employees and business partners as we enter a new chapter for Mattress Firm. Our team remains committed to building a national chain under one banner in the U.S. and offering our guests a great night’s sleep.”
