“goal,” “strategy,” “opportunity,” “ambitions,” “aspire” and similar expressions,
and variations or negative of such terms or other variations thereof. Words and terms of similar substance used in connection
with any discussion of future plans, actions, or events identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking
statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such statements regarding the transactions contemplated
by the Masonite Merger Agreement (the “Transaction”), including the expected time period to consummate the Transaction,
the anticipated benefits (including synergies) of the Transaction and integration and transition plans, opportunities, anticipated future
performance, expected share buyback programs and expected dividends. All such forward-looking statements are based upon current plans,
estimates, expectations and ambitions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond the control
of
Masonite and PGTI,
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Key factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the Transaction,
including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the Transaction; the
ability to successfully integrate the businesses of the companies, including the risk that problems may arise in successfully integrating
the such businesses, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected; the occurrence
of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the definitive agreement; the possibility that
PGTI’s stockholders may not approve the Transaction; the risk that the anticipated tax treatment of the Transaction is not obtained;
the risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the Transaction in a timely manner or at all; risks related to
disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the Transaction; the risk that any announcements relating to the
Transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of Masonite’s or PGTI’s common shares; the risk that the Transaction
and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the parties’ business relationships and business generally, including the
ability of Masonite and PGTI to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and
customers, and on their operating results and businesses generally; the risk of unforeseen or unknown liabilities; customer, shareholder,
regulatory and other stakeholder approvals and support; the risk of unexpected future capital expenditures; the risk of potential litigation
relating to the Transaction that could be instituted against Masonite and/or PGTI or their respective directors and/or officers; the
risk that the combined company may be unable to achieve cost-cutting or revenues synergies or it may take longer than expected to achieve
those synergies; the risk that the combined company may not buy back shares; the risk associated with third party contracts containing
material consent, anti-assignment, transfer or other provisions that may be related to the Transaction which are not waived or otherwise
satisfactorily resolved; the risk of receipt of required Masonite Board of Directors’ authorizations to implement capital allocation
strategies; the risk of rating agency actions and Masonite’s and PGTI’s ability to access short- and long-term debt markets
on a timely and affordable basis; the risk of various events that could disrupt operations, including severe weather, such as droughts,
floods, avalanches and earthquakes, cybersecurity attacks, security threats and governmental response to them, and technological changes;
the risks of labor disputes, changes in labor costs and labor difficulties; and the risks resulting from other effects of industry, market,
economic, legal or legislative, political or regulatory conditions outside of Masonite’s or PGTI’s control. All such factors
are difficult to predict and are beyond our control, including those detailed in Masonite’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are available on Masonite’s website at https://www.masonite.com and on
the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov, and those detailed in PGTI’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q
and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are available on PGTI’s website at https://pgtinnovations.com and on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov.
PGTI’s forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that PGTI’s believes to be reasonable but that may not prove to
be accurate. Other unpredictable factors or factors not discussed in this communication could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking
statements. Neither Masonite nor PGTI assumes an obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable
law. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof.

Exhibit 99.1
PGT Innovations
Board of Directors Determines that Miter’s Unsolicited Proposal Would Reasonably Be Expected to Lead to a Superior Proposal
January 08, 2024 07:30 AM Eastern Standard Time
VENICE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PGT Innovations,
Inc. (NYSE: PGTI) (“PGTI” or the “Company”), a national leader in premium windows and doors, today announced
that its Board of Directors has unanimously determined that, while the unsolicited proposal from Miter Brands to acquire all outstanding
shares of PGTI common stock for $41.50 per share in cash is not superior to PGTI’s definitive agreement to be acquired by Masonite
International Corp (NYSE: DOOR) (“Masonite”), depending on the outcome of future negotiations, Miter’s proposal would
reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal if Miter is able to improve several aspects of its proposed transaction.
As announced on December 18, 2023, PGTI entered into a
definitive agreement to be acquired by Masonite for $41.00 per share, comprised of $33.50 in cash and 0.07353 shares of Masonite common
stock,1 representing a premium of approximately 56.5% over the closing price of PGTI common stock
of $26.20 per share on October 9, 2023.2
“While the PGTI Board of Directors believes the
transaction with Masonite remains the best option to maximize value for our stockholders, the improved consideration and near-term value
certainty in a potential all-cash transaction with Miter is worth exploring if Miter is able to adequately resolve several issues with
its proposal,” said Jeffrey T. Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Topics PGTI Seeks to Address in Discussions with Miter
| • | More value for PGTI stockholders: |
| ○ | Miter’s latest proposal provides an increase of only 1.2%
in transaction consideration relative to the definitive agreement with Masonite as of December 15, 2023, and only a 4.5% increase relative
to the Masonite transaction as of January 5, 2024; |
|
○ | The modest increase in transaction consideration in Miter’s
proposal compares unfavorably to the more substantial average increase in consideration provided in typical topping bids; and |
|
○ | Further, the latest proposal would require PGTI stockholders
to give up the considerable value upside potential in combining with Masonite to create a leading door and window solutions company with
over $4 billion in revenue, $800 million of |
EBITDA, robust free cash flow generation, a rapid deleveraging
profile, and ~$100 million in annual synergies from the proposed transaction.
|
• | Stronger contractual protections to increase closing certainty: |
|
○ | Miter’s
proposal presents additional closing risks as compared to the pending transaction with Masonite that renders the small incremental transaction
consideration insufficient to compensate PGTI stockholders for such risk; Additional contractual protections are required to ensure any
proposed transaction with Miter will actually be consummated and deliver superior value to PGTI stockholders; and |
|
○ | Miter’s proposal would require
PGTI to pay an up-front termination fee of $84 million to Masonite – more than 2.5 times the value of the additional consideration
in Miter’s proposal3 – that would not be reimbursed
if a transaction with Miter fails to close. |
Unlike most other topping bids, Miter has failed to offer
to pay this fee on PGTI’s behalf which does not reflect the customary confidence of an interloper regarding the certainty of its
proposed transaction closing.
Mr. Jackson concluded, “To be clear, we have not
concluded that the proposed Miter transaction is superior to our binding transaction with Masonite, and we are not committed to a transaction
with Miter. There are several key terms that would need to be negotiated satisfactorily before we would be in a position to recommend
a Miter transaction over the Masonite transaction. Rather, we are planning to engage in discussions with Miter since we believe there
is a reasonable basis for concluding that it would result in a superior proposal for PGTI stockholders.”
A summary of the steps PGTI and its Board of Directors have
taken to maximize value for our stockholders, including in its negotiations with Miter, is included below.
Next Steps
The PGTI Board’s determination that the Miter proposal
would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal allows the two companies to negotiate improved terms of a binding acquisition
proposal by Miter. If PGTI and Miter are able to negotiate a transaction on terms that the PGTI Board concludes is a superior proposal,
Masonite would have the option, over a period of four business days, to offer to improve the terms of its existing merger agreement with
PGTI.
Thereafter, if the PGTI Board determines that Miter’s
offer is a superior proposal, after taking into consideration any improved terms offered by Masonite, only then would PGTI enter into
an agreement with Miter and would there be an obligation to pay Masonite the termination fee. Until that time, the definitive agreement
with Masonite remains binding and in full effect, and the PGTI Board reaffirms its existing recommendation of the transaction with Masonite.

PGTI’s Board Engaged with Miter and Many
Other Potential Buyers to Maximize Value for PGTI Stockholders
| ■ | Over the past several months, we have engaged with 12 different
potential strategic and financial counterparties, including Miter. |
|
■ | We received a total of 15 proposals
with ever-increasing deal values, which culminated in the definitive agreement with Masonite for $41.00 per share. The 16th
proposal we received was submitted by Miter on January 2, 2024. |
|
■ | In March 2023, we learned that Miter had accumulated a ~10%
position in PGTI through common stock and derivatives – without paying a premium to PGTI’s stockholders. |
|
■ | We engaged in negotiations with Miter and received a total of 7 proposals
from them (prior to their most recent proposal): |
|
■ | Their initial proposal in April 2023 was for $29.00 per share,
and they subsequently made multiple proposals with incrementally higher prices; |
|
■ | We also entered into a confidentiality agreement with Miter
and provided them with detailed due diligence. |
|
■ | On November 13, 2023, Miter delivered a proposal of $38.25
per share they characterized as its “best and final offer.” |
|
■ | We informed Miter’s management team that we were prepared
to do a deal with Miter above their proposal, and Miter told us that as stockholders of PGTI that if PGTI received an offer for $40.00
per share we “should take it.” |
|
■ | Shortly thereafter, Masonite offered $40 per share, but conditioned
their willingness to proceed on us entering into exclusivity which we did in reliance on Miter’s statements that their offer was
its “best and final” and we “should take [a deal at $40 per share].” |
|
■ | On December 14, 2023, Miter unexpectedly delivered another proposal
for $39.00 per share. |
|
■ | On December 18, 2023, PGTI announced
a deal with Masonite for $41.00 per share.4 |
Recent Events
|
■ | On January 2, 2024, Miter submitted a new proposal of $41.50 per share
for the ~90% PGTI shares they don’t own. |
|
■ | The PGTI Board continues to be open to all paths to deliver
maximum value to PGTI stockholders – and has concluded that the Miter proposal would reasonably be expected to lead to a
superior proposal, if the parties are able to reach agreement on several improvements on price and contractual protections to improve
deal certainty. |
|
■ | The PGTI Board has taken actions designed to maximize value
for PGTI stockholders – and stands ready to engage with Miter to see if they can deliver a superior proposal. |

attacks, security threats and governmental response to them, and technological changes; the risks of labor disputes, changes in labor
costs and labor difficulties; and the risks resulting from other effects of industry, market, economic, legal or legislative, political
or regulatory conditions outside of Masonite’s or PGT Innovations’ control. All such factors are difficult to predict and
are beyond our control, including those detailed in Masonite’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and

to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. Other unpredictable factors or factors not discussed in this communication could
also have material adverse effects on forward- looking statements. Neither Masonite nor PGT Innovations assumes an obligation to update
any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof.
