@Piotrus: I'm still new to this so forgive me if I'm not doing this correctly. I have updated the Beacon Roofing Supply page. The citations include sources from Wall Street Journal, The Motley Fool, Yahoo! Finance, Forbes, Market Watch, Pro Sales Magazine, and Business Wire. All of these are independent and neutral sources for business and investing. Please let me know how else I can improve the page to ensure that it is not deleted Tsehrer (talk) 15:48, 5 November 2014 (UTC)tsehrer[reply]

@Tsehrer: Thanks for the updates. You should post it at the AfD page as well, and ping the nominator, User:DGG, for a re-review there. But what we really need is press articles discussing the company and it's actions; press releases and stock reports are not enough - anybody can generate them. What you need to show is that real journalists have been writing about the company. Economic/business/finance columns count, too. Academic publications would be fine, too. If there are any roofing publications (likely), articles from them would be helpful, too. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:45, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I consider the added references mere mentions. DGG ( talk ) 17:00, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Beacon Rebranding

I am requesting this page be moved to a page named Beacon Building Products, with a redirect link from Beacon Roofing Supply. Please advise. SEC filing and Contact info below.--Bob Shaw (talk) 12:46, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Beacon Roofing Supply was renamed on January 14, 2020 to Beacon Building Products, documented in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Form 8-K, which can be found here:

SEC Form 8-K Excerpt

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On January 14, 2020, the Board of Directors of Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (the “Company” or “Beacon”) determined to rebrand its exterior product branches with the tradename “Beacon Building Products” (the “Rebranding”). The new name, and a related logo, will be adopted at over 450 Beacon one-step exterior products branches. The Company’s interior, insulation, weatherproofing and two-step branches will continue to operate under current brand names. In connection with the Rebranding, the Company has determined that it will incur non-cash accelerated intangible asset amortization of approximately $135 million to $140 million related to the write-off of certain tradenames, primarily Allied (exterior products only), Roofing Supply Group and JGA. The accelerated amortization will be recognized in the Company’s fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2020. The physical rebranding of branch locations and equipment is expected to result in cash expenditures of approximately $5 million.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On January 15, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the Rebranding. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information, including Exhibit 99.1, in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall otherwise be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
