APi Group Corporation (NYSE: APG) (“APG”, “APi” or the “Company”) today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of the Chubb fire and security business (“Chubb”) from Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR) for an enterprise value of $3.1 billion, which is comprised of $2.9 billion cash and approximately $200 million of assumed liabilities and other adjustments.

Headquartered in the United Kingdom, Chubb has approximately 13,000 employees globally and a sales and services network spanning 17 countries serving more than 1.5 million customer sites in Asia Pacific, Canada and Europe. The business is a globally recognized fire safety and security services provider, offering customers complete and reliable services from design and installation to monitoring and on-going maintenance and recurring services.

Russ Becker, APi’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated: “Today we welcome the 13,000 employees of Chubb to the APi family and begin the work of swiftly integrating Chubb into APi and leveraging the opportunities this acquisition creates. We begin 2022 as the world’s leading life safety services provider. Since announcing the acquisition on July 27, 2021, the level of excitement from our international customers and our teams about the opportunities the combined platform will bring has been extremely encouraging. This validates our belief that the transaction will be highly accretive with compelling synergies and that it will help accelerate revenue growth through cross-selling certain products and services.

We couldn’t be more excited about the prospects of working with such a talented, international leadership team that believes in the same values and has the same employee and customer focus we do at APi. As the Chubb business shifts from being a non-core asset to one that is a paramount strategic priority within APi, we believe the business will move faster and more efficiently, globally leveraging the expertise and ability of our combined 26,000 dedicated and talented team members.”

APi Co-Chair James E. Lillie added: “The completion of the acquisition of Chubb is an exciting milestone as we continue our evolution and growth as a public company. The acquisition creates another new chapter for APi, while also continuing our original investment thesis in creating value as the global leader in life safety services concentrating the majority of the business on statutorily-mandated, recurring service revenue. We are excited by the near-term and long-term opportunities for APi and believe there is significant future value creation potential as we combine our two organizations and realize revenue as well as cost synergies. We believe our services and statutorily-focused business model is well positioned to be successful as the market confronts certain supply chain disruptions, inflationary cost pressure and the impact of the Omicron COVID-19 variant. We look forward to updating you throughout the year and as we cross key milestones.”
