Héroux-Devtek Inc., a leading international manufacturer of aerospace products and the world's third-largest landing gear manufacturer, today announced the completion of the previously announced plan of arrangement under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Québec) involving Héroux-Devtek and an affiliate of Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, pursuant to which the Purchaser has acquired, directly or indirectly, all the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation for $32.50 in cash per Share.

As part of the Arrangement, members of senior management of the Corporation, including Gilles Labbé, Executive Chairman of the Board, and Martin Brassard, President and Chief Executive Officer, rolled over a portion of their Shares in exchange for shares in the capital of the Purchaser's parent company.
