How will the deal affect the existing debt structure and leverage ratios for both Steelcase and HNI post‑transaction?

I’m sorry, but the excerpt you provided does not contain any information about the debt structure, financing arrangements, or leverage ratios of either Steelcase Inc. or HNI Corporation in connection with the proposed transaction. Without details on how the deal will be funded (e.g., cash on hand, new borrowings, debt refinancing, or any changes to existing credit facilities) or the current balance‑sheet metrics for the two companies, I can’t assess how the transaction will impact their post‑transaction debt levels or leverage ratios.

If you can share additional disclosures—such as the companies’ current debt balances, any financing commitments announced for the deal, or management’s commentary on expected changes to leverage—I'd be able to provide a more specific analysis.
