Modine Manufacturing Company this morning confirmed plans to separate its Performance Technologies segment via a tax‐free spin‐off and combine it with Gentherm in a newly formed publicly traded vehicle. Under the agreed terms, Modine shareholders will receive 0.85 shares of the new entity for each share of Modine stock held as of the record date. The combined business is expected to generate approximately $1.4 billion in annual revenue, leveraging Modine’s heat‐transfer expertise with Gentherm’s thermal management capabilities in automotive seating and battery systems. The transaction remains subject to customary regulatory approvals and is anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2026.
