James Hardie’s merger to deliver Azek CEO $30m

Simon Evans

The chief executive of outdoor decking group Azek will be entitled to more than $30 million if the controversial $14 billion takeover by building materials giant James Hardie proceeds, new documents show.

The documents outline that the $US19.4 million ($30.1 million) payout will be made because Azek chief executive Jess Singh’s role will become redundant if the merger is approved by shareholders in the United States next month.
