Most Recent Illustrative Example of the Share Exchange Ratio and Common Cash Consideration to be Received Upon Completion of the Quad/Graphics Arrangement
The table below illustrates the Share Exchange Ratio (i.e., the portion of a share of class A common stock of Quad/Graphics, Inc. (“Quad/Graphics”) a holder of common shares of World Color Press Inc. (“World Color Press”) would receive for each World Color Press common share) and the per share Common Cash Consideration that a holder of World Color Press common shares would receive for each World Color Press common share in connection with and upon the completion of the proposed arrangement between World Color Press and Quad/Graphics. All “$” amounts are in U.S. dollars.
This table is for illustrative purposes only. As (a) the actual number of World Color Press common shares outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the arrangement may be different from the amounts set forth below, (b) the actual number of shares of Quad/Graphics common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the arrangement may be different from the numbers set forth below (which will affect the Share Exchange Ratio), (c) the effective price of the transaction consideration per World Color Press common share to be received in the arrangement as determined by the World Color Press board of directors in accordance with the World Color Press warrant indenture may be calculated based on a different formula and/or assumptions than the formula and the assumptions set forth below, which are not mandated by the World Color Press warrant indenture, including the financial model used to calculate the Warrant Valuation Amount (as defined in the World Color Press warrant indenture), and such variations may yield a materially different result, and (d) the aggregate Equity Payment Amounts may be different from the amounts set forth below, all four of which matters cannot be determined as of the date of the calculation of the illustrative examples, the actual Share Exchange Ratio and Common Cash Consideration may vary from the amounts described below.
The following assumptions have been made in this table:
1. The arrangement is completed on July 2, 2010.
2. The number of World Color Press common shares outstanding is 73,285,000, without taking into account the conversion of World Color Press preferred shares and the exercise of World Color Press warrants.
3. The 5-day volume-adjusted weighted average price of each World Color Press common share used to calculate the cash settlement obligations of the deferred share units and restricted share units and the per share value of any additional World Color Press deferred share unit grants are the same.
4. The effective price is based on: (1) the 30-day volume-adjusted weighted average price of each World Color Press common share multiplied by the number of the World Color Press common shares outstanding immediately prior to completion of the arrangement, plus the aggregate Common Cash Consideration available to be distributed to holders of World Color Press common shares and cash paid to redeem World Color Press warrants, divided (2) by the number of fully diluted common shares outstanding immediately prior to completion of the arrangement as if all warrants are exercisable (whether or not they are exercisable).
5. The number of shares of Quad/Graphics class A common stock, class B common stock and class C common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the arrangement is 28,105,645.
6. Holders of World Color Press preferred shares will convert their World Color Press preferred shares and accrued and unpaid dividends into World Color Press common shares if the market value of a World Color Press common share is greater than $8.00.
7. The total liquidation value of the World Color Press preferred shares, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, on July 2, 2010 is $110,809,653. The number of World Color Press common shares into which the World Color Press preferred shares are converted is based on this dollar amount.
8. Holders of World Color Press warrants will exercise their right to purchase World Color Press common shares through a cashless exercise if their warrants become exercisable, and they will receive cash payments in accordance with the World Color Press warrant indenture if their warrants do not become exercisable.
