The transaction is immediately accretive to Atrium, enabling it to increase its adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from approximately $31 million to about $48 million on a pro forma basis and therefore also increasing its earnings per share by more than 50%, before synergies. Following the transaction, Atrium's pro forma revenues will exceed $315 million. Under the agreement, Atrium will acquire Douglas for the total amount of $107 million ($US 92 million), which represents approximately 6.4 times the adjusted EBITDA generated by Douglas. Approximately $97 million will be paid in cash while the remainder, approximately $10 million, will be paid in Atrium subordinate voting shares issued to certain Douglas management shareholders at a price of $10.95 per share. The cash portion will come from Atrium's cash on hand and its newly re-negotiated credit facility that can be increased to $200 million, under certain conditions.
