USCR US Concrete Inc

On June 6, 2021, U.S. Concrete, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“U.S. Concrete”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Vulcan Materials Company, a New Jersey company (“Vulcan”) and Grizzly Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vulcan (“Grizzly Merger Sub”) pursuant to which Grizzly Merger Sub will merge with and into U.S. Concrete (the “Merger”), with U.S. Concrete surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vulcan.

Following discussions with staff at the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), U.S. Concrete and Vulcan have agreed to voluntarily provide DOJ with additional time in which to review the Merger. On July 21, 2021, Vulcan, as the acquiring party, voluntarily withdrew its pre-merger notification and report form under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). In accordance with the regulations under the HSR Act, Vulcan plans to resubmit its HSR Act filing on or before July 23, 2021, commencing a new 30-day waiting period under the HSR Act. U.S. Concrete and Vulcan continue to work cooperatively with the DOJ staff in their review of the proposed transaction, and continue to expect to complete the transaction in the second half of 2021, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to closing, including approval of U.S. Concrete’s stockholders.
