Dec 22 (Reuters) - Metal windows and doors maker Janus International Group LLC, backed by private equity firm Clearlake Capital, said on Tuesday it is merging with a blank-check company Juniper Industrial Holdings Inc.
The combined entity will be valued at $1.9 billion including debt, and will list on the NYSE after close of the deal.
Juniper, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) had raised $345 million in its initial public offering in 2019.
