17. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
17.1 Introduction
On 4 April 2024, JBT entered into the Transaction Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the parties have agreed to bring about a business combination of JBT, Marel and their respective subsidiaries by way of the Offeror making a voluntary public takeover offer to Marel Shareholders to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Marel Shares, not including any treasury shares held by Marel. Please see section 6 “The Transaction” and section 7 “The Transaction Agreement” in this Prospectus for a description of the Transaction and the Transaction Agreement.
This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Transaction and the Transaction Financing (as defined below). Such information is based on the following historical consolidated financial statements of JBT and Marel, as adjusted to give effect to the Transaction and the Transaction Financing:
• | the separate audited consolidated financial statements of JBT as of and for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2023, and the related notes, included in the JBT 2023 10-K, incorporated by reference into this Prospectus; |
• | the separate unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of JBT as of and for the six months ended 30 June 2024, and the related notes, included in the JBT Q2 2024 10-Q, incorporated by reference into this Prospectus; |
• | the separate audited consolidated financial statements of Marel as of and for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2023, and the related notes, incorporated by reference into this Prospectus; and |
• | the separate unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Marel as of and for the six months ended 30 June 2024, and the related notes, incorporated by reference into this Prospectus. |
For more information regarding such historical consolidated financial statements and related notes that are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, see the section titled “Information Incorporated by Reference”.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of 30 June 2024 gives effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred or become effective on 30 June 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six months ended 30 June 2024 and the fiscal year ended 31 December 2023 give effect to the Transaction and the Transaction Financing as if it had occurred or become effective on 1 January 2023.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with the requirements set out in Annex 20 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/80 and should be read together with the accompanying notes. Such notes describe the assumptions and estimates related to the adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the separate respective audited consolidated financial statements of JBT and Marel, included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

17.2 Description of the Transaction
On 24 June 2024, the Offeror launched a voluntary public takeover offer to Marel Shareholders to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Marel Shares, not including any treasury shares held by Marel. The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the Minimum Acceptance Condition. If, immediately following the Offer Closing Time, the Offeror owns at least 90% of the issued and outstanding Marel Shares, to the extent permitted by applicable law, within three months of the Offer Closing Time, the Offeror (or a permitted assignee of the Offeror) will launch the Squeeze-Out for, at the election of the Marel Shareholders and subject to proration provisions, as applicable, described in this Prospectus, either JBT Offer Shares, cash or a mix of JBT Offer Shares and cash (or, for those Marel Shareholders who do not make an election, a mix of JBT Offer Shares and cash in the same proportion as the average mix of the Offer). The Squeeze-Out would eliminate any minority shareholder interests in Marel remaining after the Offer Closing Time. If, immediately following the Offer Closing Time, the Offeror owns less than 90% of the issued and outstanding Marel Shares, then the Offeror may initiate the Merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that all of the issued and outstanding Marel Shares (not including any treasury shares held by Marel) are validly tendered and accepted in the Offer and no Squeeze-Out or Merger is conducted.
In the Offer, Marel Shareholders may exchange each Marel Share, at their election, for (i) cash consideration in the amount of EUR 3.60, (ii) stock consideration consisting of 0.0407 newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable JBT Offer Shares or (iii) cash consideration in the amount of EUR 1.26 along with stock consideration consisting of 0.0265 newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable JBT Offer Shares. Elections will be subject to a proration process, as applicable, as described in this Prospectus, such that the Marel Shareholders immediately prior to the closing of the Offer will receive an aggregate of approximately EUR 950 million in cash and approximately a 38% interest in the combined company. The estimated purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that all of the issued and outstanding Marel Shares (not including any treasury shares held by Marel) are validly tendered and accepted in the Offer.
In connection with the Transaction, JBT anticipates that the Marel Shares will be delisted from Nasdaq Iceland and Euronext Amsterdam. The JBT Shares will remain listed on the NYSE upon completion of the Transaction under the symbol “JBT,” and JBT intends to submit the Secondary Listing Application to list the JBT Offer Shares on Nasdaq Iceland under a ticker symbol to be determined prior to the closing of the Offer.
At the Offer Closing Time, each Marel Stock Option that was granted prior to the date of the Transaction Agreement and remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing Time with an exercise price per share less than the Marel Closing Price, whether vested or unvested, will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes) equal to the product of (i) the number of Marel Shares subject to such Marel Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing Time and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Marel Closing Price over the exercise price per share of such Marel Stock Option. Each Marel Stock Option with an exercise price per share equal to or greater than the Marel Closing Price will be cancelled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof.
Any Marel Interim Period Award will not vest by virtue of the occurrence of the Offer Closing Time. At the Offer Closing Time, each Marel Interim Period Award will cease to represent an award with respect to Marel Shares and be automatically converted into an award with respect to JBT Shares of comparable value and in such form as determined by JBT in good faith consultation with Marel. Immediately following the Offer Closing Time, each such converted award will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions regarding vesting and forfeiture as were applicable to the corresponding Marel Interim Period Award immediately prior to the Offer Closing Time. As of the date of this Prospectus, no Marel Interim Period Awards have been granted.
In connection with the Transaction, on 4 April 2024, JBT entered into the Bridge Credit Agreement. If drawn, loans under the Bridge Credit Agreement accrue interest at the EURIBOR plus 2.25% per annum, increasing by
6
0.50% per annum at the end of the first 90 day period after the initial borrowing date and by an additional 0.50% per annum at the end of each 90 day period thereafter until the maturity date of the Bridge Credit Agreement. Any such drawn amounts and the amount of the undrawn and available commitments are also subject to a duration fee that accrues daily at a rate of 0.75% for the period of time from 90 days after the initial borrowing date until the 180th day after the initial borrowing date, 1.00% for the period of time from 180 days after the initial borrowing date until the 270th day after the initial borrowing date and 1.25% for the period of time from 270 days after the initial borrowing date until the maturity date of the Bridge Credit Agreement. JBT may voluntarily prepay the Bridge Credit Agreement, if drawn, at any time without premium or penalty.
On 17 May 2024, JBT entered into the Second Amendment which, among other things, amends certain of the negative and financial covenants in the Credit Agreement and expressly permits the Transaction. See section 6.15 “Description of Financing” for additional information regarding the anticipated financings of the Transaction.
JBT plans to fund the cash portion of the Transaction through a combination of (i) cash on hand (ii) availability under the JBT Revolving Credit Facility and Bridge Credit Agreement, (iii) new debt financing or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. JBT intends to borrow up to approximately $1.7 billion that, together with cash on hand, will be used to (a) pay the cash consideration in the Offer, (b) repay certain existing indebtedness of Marel and (c) pay transaction costs (collectively, the “Transaction Financing”). The timing and form of borrowings is currently unknown but may include a draw down on the Existing JBT Revolving Credit Facility, the incurrence of indebtedness through the issuance of secured and/or unsecured financing, and/or a short-term bridge loan facility. Since terms of the Transaction Financing are currently unavailable, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared using the terms of the Bridge Credit Agreement, as further discussed in Note 6.
These assumptions and expectations are subject to change, and the debt issuance costs to be incurred and related interest expense could vary significantly from what is assumed in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Other factors that are subject to change include, but are not limited to, the timing of borrowings, the amount of cash on hand at the time of the closing and inputs to interest rate determination on debt instruments issued. See section 6.15 “Description of Financing” for additional information.
17.3 Accounting for the Transaction
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by JBT using the acquisition method of accounting, with JBT as the acquirer for accounting purposes. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the applicable historical financial statements of Marel have been reclassified to align to the financial statement presentation of JBT, translated into U.S. dollars, and preliminarily adjusted for differences between IFRS and JBT’s GAAP accounting policies for material accounting policy differences identified to date. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes transaction accounting adjustments which are necessary to account for the Transaction in accordance with GAAP and adjustments to reflect the Transaction Financing. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon certain assumptions that JBT’s management believes are reasonable and currently available information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of results that would have occurred had the Transaction been completed as of the dates indicated above. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to be indicative of the future financial position or operating results of the combined operations and does not reflect the costs of any integration activities nor any benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies or revenue or other synergies expected to result from the Transaction.
The valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and have not been finalized. JBT intends to finalize valuations and other studies upon completion of the Transaction and will finalize the purchase
7
price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but in no event later than one year following the closing date of the Transaction. The assets and liabilities of Marel have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that JBT management believes are reasonable and based on currently available information. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final purchase accounting will occur, and the final purchase accounting could be materially different from the preliminary estimates used to prepare the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and could have a material impact on the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with the requirements set out in Annex 20 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/80. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of 30 June 2024 gives effect to the Transaction and the Transaction Financing as if they had been consummated on 30 June 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income give effect to the Transaction and the Transaction Financing as if they had been consummated on 1 January 2023, the first day of JBT’s fiscal year.
The historical audited financial statements of JBT are prepared in accordance with GAAP and are reported in U.S. dollars. The historical audited financial statements of Marel are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and are reported in Euro. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Marel’s historical unaudited consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2024 was translated using the spot rate on 30 June 2024 (1.0711 $/€). Marel’s historical unaudited consolidated statement of income for the six months ended 30 June 2024 was translated using the average exchange rate for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (1.0813 $/€). Marel’s historical consolidated statement of income for the year ended 31 December 2023 was translated using the average exchange rate for the year ended 31 December 2023 (1.0916 $/€).
For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the historical financial information of Marel has been reclassified to conform to JBT’s financial statement presentation, converted from IFRS to GAAP, and compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by JBT as set forth in its audited historical financial statements. These adjustments are described further in the following notes. JBT is currently in the process of evaluating Marel’s accounting policies and converting Marel’s financials to GAAP, which will be finalized upon completion of the Transaction, or as more information becomes available. As a result of that review, additional differences could be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies.
The Transaction will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. JBT has been deemed the acquirer for accounting purposes and has therefore estimated the fair value of Marel’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. In identifying JBT as the acquiring entity, management reviewed the proposed composition of the combined company’s board of directors, a majority of whom will be existing directors of JBT, the entity issuing the shares and cash to be used as Transaction consideration, the designation of JBT’s President and Chief Executive Officer as the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company, as well as the fact that JBT’s existing shareholders will own the majority of the combined company after completion of the Transaction.
Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their assumed acquisition date fair value, while transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of the Transaction consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.
The allocation of the aggregate Transaction consideration depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary. The allocation of the aggregate Transaction consideration has been made for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Transaction could differ materially from the preliminary allocation of aggregate Transaction consideration. The final valuation will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of Marel existing at the acquisition date.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any expected cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined entity may achieve as a result of the Transaction or any acquisition and integration costs that may be incurred. Management is not aware of any material
12
transactions between JBT and Marel during the periods presented. Accordingly, adjustments to eliminate transactions between JBT and Marel have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
Note 2. Reclassifications
Marel’s historical balances were derived from Marel’s historical financial statements described above and are presented under IFRS and converted from Euro to U.S. dollars based on the historical exchange rates presented above in Note 1.
During the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, JBT performed a preliminary review of Marel’s financial information to identify differences in financial statement presentation as compared to the presentation of JBT. Based on the information currently available, certain reclassifications have been made to Marel’s historical financial statements to conform to JBT’s presentation. Upon consummation of the Transaction, further review of Marel’s financial statements may result in additional reclassifications, which could be materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein.
Refer to the table below for a preliminary reconciliation of the historical financial information of Marel to JBT’s presentation:

Note 3. IFRS to GAAP and Policy Adjustments
The historical consolidated financial information of Marel has been converted from IFRS to GAAP, applying JBT’s GAAP accounting policies.
Based on a preliminary review performed by JBT of Marel’s financial information, the following adjustments have been made to reflect Marel’s historical consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated income statement on a GAAP basis for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. At this time, JBT is not aware of any accounting policy differences that would have a material impact on the pro forma condensed combined financial information that are not reflected in the pro forma adjustments. Following the transaction, JBT will finalize the review of accounting policies and IFRS to GAAP adjustments, which could be materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein.
a. | Product development expenditures. Marel incurs expenses as part of development projects relating to the design and testing of new and or improved products which are capitalized as intangible assets under IFRS. Under GAAP, these costs are expensed as incurred, unless recognized in a business combination, as described in Note 4. The resulting adjustments therefore expense such costs as selling, |
16
general, and administrative expense, and reverse historical amortization of previously capitalized development costs as follows: |
(in millions) | As of 30 June 2024 | For the six months ended 30 June 2024 | For the year ended 31 December 2023 | |||||||||

Decrease to Intangible assets, net. | $ | (109.3 | ) | |||||||||
Decrease to Other liabilities | $ | (27.3 | ) | |||||||||
Decrease to Retained earnings | $ | (82.0 | ) | |||||||||
Condensed Statement of Income | ||||||||||||
(Decrease) increase to Selling, general and administrative expense | $ | 0.8 | $ | 12.1 |
b. | Leases. Under IFRS, lessees have only one lease classification, which is similar to the finance lease classification under GAAP. Based on a preliminary review of the nature of Marel’s lease arrangements, substantially all of Marel’s leases are expected to be classified as operating leases under GAAP. As a result, adjustments have been made to replace the historical amortization of right-of-use assets and interest expense recognized by Marel under IFRS with straight-line lease expense. The following adjustments have been made for Marel’s operating leases under GAAP: |
(in millions) | For the six months ended 30 June 2024 | For the year ended 31 December 2023 | ||||||
Condensed Statement of Income | ||||||||
Decrease to Interest expense, net | $ | (0.8 | ) | $ | (1.5 | ) | ||
Increase to Cost of sales | $ | — | $ | 0.1 | ||||
Increase to Selling, general and administrative expense | $ | — | $ | 0.3 |
c. | Taxes on Intra-Entity Transfers of Inventory. Under GAAP, the tax effect of intra-entity transfers of inventory are deferred until the related inventory is sold or disposed of, and no deferred taxes are recognized for the difference between the carrying value of the inventory in the consolidated financial statements and the tax basis of the inventory in the buyer’s tax jurisdiction. In addition, the tax paid or payable from the intra-entity transfer is deferred upon consolidation and is not included in tax expense until the inventory is sold to an unrelated third party. Under IFRS, there is no exception for recognizing such tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of inventory. The following adjustments have been made to Marel’s tax balances under GAAP: |
(in millions) | As of 30 June 2024 | |||
Condensed Balance Sheet | ||||
Increase to prepaid tax assets (other current assets) | $ | 7.7 | ||
Decrease to deferred tax assets (other assets) | $ | (7.7 | ) |
Note 4. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The total preliminary Transaction consideration has been allocated to Marel’s assets and liabilities based upon management’s preliminary estimate of their fair values as if the Transaction had been consummated on 30 June 2024. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information only, the valuation of the Transaction consideration uses JBT’s closing share price as of 6 August 2024, of $89.54 per share. The value of the JBT Offer Shares portion of the Transaction consideration will ultimately be based on JBT’s share price as of the closing date of the Offer and could materially change from the price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. A change of 10% in the price of JBT Offer Shares would increase or
17
decrease the total Transaction consideration by approximately $178.6 million, which would be reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as an increase or decrease to goodwill, as summarized in the table below.

In the Offer, Marel Shareholders may exchange each Marel Share, at their election, for (i) cash consideration in the amount of EUR 3.60, (ii) stock consideration consisting of 0.0407 newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable JBT Offer Shares or (iii) cash consideration in the amount of EUR 1.26 along with stock consideration consisting of 0.0265 newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable JBT Offer Shares. Elections will be subject to a proration process, as applicable, as described in this Prospectus, such that the Marel Shareholders immediately prior to the closing of the Offer will receive an aggregate of approximately EUR 950 million in cash and approximately a 38% interest in the combined company. The estimated purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that all of the issued and outstanding Marel Shares (not including any treasury shares held by Marel) are validly tendered and accepted in the Offer.
As discussed under section 6.17 “Post-Offer Reorganization Transactions Regarding Marel”, it is possible that Marel Shareholders who do not tender their Marel Shares in the Offer may receive a different form and amount of consideration and may receive consideration on different dates.

(1) | Neither Financial assets nor Financial liabilities have been adjusted for an estimated $25.0 million of transaction costs expected to be incurred by Marel through the closing date of the Transaction. |
The fair value of assets and liabilities of Marel above have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that JBT management believes are reasonable and are based on currently available information. For the preliminary estimate of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Marel, JBT used publicly available benchmarking information as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions. Income-based, market-based, and/or cost-based valuation approaches using preliminary information were compared against benchmarking information to conclude upon a preliminary estimate of fair values. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was based upon this preliminary estimate of fair values. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The final determination of the purchase price allocation, upon the consummation of the Transaction, will be based on Marel’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of that date and will depend on a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.
JBT expects to use widely accepted income-based, market-based and/or cost-based valuation approaches upon finalization of purchase accounting for the Transaction. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final purchase accounting will occur, and the final purchase accounting could be materially different from the preliminary estimates used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and could have a material impact on the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.

Note 5. Transaction Accounting Adjustments
The determination of transaction-related adjustments presented herein are preliminary and based in part on JBT management’s estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The adjustments have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Transaction. Amounts recognized following the consummation of the Transaction may differ significantly based upon finalization of the fair values of assets acquired and useful lives thereon for the purpose of periodic depreciation, amortization and other expenses recognized in those subsequent periods.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet
(a) | Cash and cash equivalents |
The change in cash and cash equivalents was determined as follows:
(in millions) | Amount | |||
Estimated cash consideration to Marel shareholders | $ | (1,038.6 | ) | |
Estimated settlement of Marel debt(1) | (924.7 | ) | ||
Estimated transaction costs(2) | (70.7 | ) | ||
Estimated settlement of Marel interest rate swaps(3) | 1.4 | |||
|
| |||
Pro forma adjustment | $ | (2,032.6 | ) | |
|
|
(1) | Represents gross settlement of Marel’s existing long-term debt that is not expected to be assumed by JBT using the EUR to USD exchange rate as of 6 August 2024, 1.0933 $/€. See Note 5(h). |
(2) | Estimated transaction costs consist of bank fees, financial advisory fees, and other professional fees of JBT of $70.7 million expected to be incurred and paid through the closing date of the Transaction. See Notes 5(j) and 5(k). No adjustment has been reflected in this unaudited pro forma combined financial information for an estimated $25.0 million of transaction costs that Marel expects to incur through the closing of the Transaction. |
(3) | Represents the net cash settlement of Marel’s existing interest rate swaps that are contractually required to be terminated upon a full repayment of the hedged debt instruments. See Notes 5(f), 5(g) and 5(h). |
(b) | Inventories, net |
Represents an adjustment to increase the carrying value of Marel’s inventories by approximately $35.0 million to adjust to its preliminary estimated fair value. This estimated step-up is preliminary and is subject to change based upon a final determination of the fair value of the inventories at the close of the transaction. This step-up will be expensed to cost of products as the acquired inventory is sold, which is expected to occur within 12 months of the closing date of the Transaction. See Note 5(i).
(c) | Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation |
Represents an adjustment to eliminate Marel’s historical property, plant and equipment and to reflect the acquired property, plant and equipment at the estimated fair value of $523.0 million. The fair value was estimated using a cost approach based on the net book value of each asset class adjusted for (i) the current market replacement cost and (ii) the physical and technology attributes of the property, plant and equipment.

|
|
(d) | Intangible assets, net |
Represents adjustments to eliminate Marel’s historical intangible assets and capitalized software costs recorded and to reflect the acquired identifiable intangible assets consisting of customer relationship, patents and developed technology, and trademarks at the estimated aggregate fair value of $2,150.0 million. The fair value of the acquired customer relationship intangible asset is estimated based on a multi-period excess earnings method which calculates the present value of the estimated revenues and net cash flows derived from it. A relief-from-royalty method is used to estimate the fair values the acquired trademarks and patents and developed technology, whereby the asset value is determined by reference to the value of the hypothetical royalty payments that would be saved through owning the asset, as compared with licensing the intangible asset from a third party.
The following table summarizes the fair values of Marel’s identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives operations:
(in millions, except useful lives) | Preliminary fair value | Estimated Useful Life (in years) | ||||||
Customer relationship | $ | 1,460.0 | 20 | |||||

(e) | Goodwill |
Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the consideration expected to be transferred and the values assigned to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Refer to the table in Note 4 above for the calculation of the fair value of consideration transferred in excess of the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
21
assumed based on the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase consideration to the identifiable tangible and intangible asset acquired and liabilities assumed of Marel.

Removal of Marel’s interest rate swap derivative assets (2) | (1.7 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Pro forma net adjustment | $ | (24.8 | ) | |
|
|
(1) | Represents the derecognition of historical capitalized software costs recorded by Marel. The value associated with these assets is instead included within the estimated fair value of patents and acquired technology, which is presented separately within intangible assets, net. See Note 5(d). |
(2) | Represents the required contractual termination of certain interest rate swaps held by Marel in connection with the expected repayment of Marel’s existing long-term debt as discussed in Note 5(h). |
(g) | Other current liabilities |
Represents an accrual of the Transaction Bonus of $3.3 million that is expected to be paid to certain members of Marel’s executive management and other employees who are eligible to receive a cash bonus to be paid in a single lump sum at the Offer Closing Time. This accrual reflects additional compensation cost to be recorded in the post-acquisition financial statements of the combined company. See Note 5(l).
(h) | Long-term debt |
Represents adjustment to long-term debt of $903.7 million to reflect the repayment and settlement of the Long-term debt of Marel consisting of the Promissory Notes, Dutch Revolving Credit Facility, and term loans, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, which are expected to occur in connection with the closing of the Offer. See Note 6 for adjustments related to the Transaction Financing.
(i) | Other liabilities |
Represents, in part, the derecognition of $0.3 million of derivative liabilities, which reflects the required contractual termination of certain interest rate swaps held by Marel in connection with the expected repayment of Marel’s existing long-term debt as discussed in Note 5(h).
Pro forma adjustments have also been made to reflect deferred taxes that are expected to arise as a result of the Transaction.
22
A pro forma adjustment to deferred taxes is recognized with other liabilities to reflect the anticipated income tax treatment of the Transaction resulting from pro forma fair value adjustments of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on an estimate of the applicable statutory tax rate of 25%. The income tax treatment determination is preliminary and subject to change depending on activities that have not occurred yet, including tax structuring, the form of the Merger or Squeeze-Out, finalization of tax elections, and other studies based on which certain tax basis and deductions may or may not be available. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-Transaction activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and changes in tax law and finalization of the purchase price allocations. Because the tax rates used for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to consummation of the Transaction. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include adjustments for potential changes in the combined company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets.

(2) | Represents straight-line amortization of the estimated fair value of the acquired intangible asset for developed technology over its estimated useful life. See Note 5(d). A 10% change in the fair value of the acquired developed technology would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the pro forma intangible asset amortization of approximately $1.1 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2023, respectively. |
(3) | Represents straight-line depreciation of the estimated fair value of the acquired property, plant and equipment over the estimated weighted average useful lives of those assets. See Note 5(c). Depreciation expense is allocated to cost of products and selling, general and administrative expense based upon the nature of the activities associated with the use of the acquired tangible assets. A 10% change in the fair value of the acquired tangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the pro forma depreciation of approximately $0.5 million and $1.0 million recorded to cost of products for the six months ended 30 June 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2023, respectively. |
(l) | Selling, general and administrative expense |
Represents the adjustments to selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) associated with the preliminary estimate of the fair value of acquired property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, which are recurring in nature, as well as incremental pro forma expense for estimated transactions costs, transaction bonuses, and incremental compensation cost for JBT to be incurred in connection with the Transaction, which are nonrecurring in nature and will not affect the condensed combined statement of income beyond twelve months after the closing of the Transaction.

(1) | Represents straight-line depreciation of the estimated fair value of the acquired property, plant and equipment over the estimated weighted average useful lives of those assets. See Note 5(c). Depreciation expense is allocated to cost of products and SG&A based upon the nature of the activities associated with the use of the acquired tangible assets. A 10% change in the fair value of the acquired tangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the pro forma depreciation of approximately $0.8 million and $1.5 million recorded to SG&A for the six months ended 30 June 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2023, respectively. |
Pro forma tangible asset depreciation reflects the revised depreciation of property, plant and equipment assets arising from the Transaction and is based on management’s preliminary estimate of useful lives and future production. JBT has historically depreciated all asset classes of property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis. The amount of depreciation expense recognized following the close of the Transaction may differ significantly between periods based upon the final fair value assigned and depreciation methodology used for each category of property, plant and equipment.

Pro forma intangible asset amortization reflects the revised amortization of intangible assets arising from the Transaction and is based on JBT management’s preliminary estimate of useful lives. JBT has
25
historically amortized all asset classes of intangible assets on a straight-line basis. A 10% change in the valuation of the acquired trade name and customer relationship intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the pro forma amortization expense of approximately $4.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 and $8.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2023. The amount of amortization expense recognized following the close of the transaction may differ significantly between periods based upon the final fair value assigned, the final determination of useful lives and amortization methodology used for each intangible asset.
(m) | Interest expense, net |
Represents a decrease in interest expense for the six months ended 30 June 2024 and the year ended 31 December 2023 as a result of the repayment of Marel’s Promissory Notes, revolving credit facility and term loans. Refer to Note 6 below for an incremental adjustment made to interest expense to recognize the pro forma impact of the Transaction Financing.
Adjustments to interest expense for the six months ended 30 June 2024, and the year ended 31 December 2023 are as follows:

(n) | Income Taxes |
Represents an estimate of the income tax impacts of the Transaction on the statements of comprehensive income. The taxes associated with the estimated pro forma adjustments reflect an estimated statutory rate of 25% and a preliminary estimate of the deductibility of certain transaction-related costs. Although not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the effective tax rate of the combined company could be different than JBT’s historical effective tax rate (either higher or lower) depending on various factors, including post-Transaction activities.
(o) | Net earnings per share |
Unaudited pro forma earnings per share calculations are based on the consolidated pro forma weighted average shares outstanding of JBT. The pro forma weighted average shares outstanding are a combination of historical JBT Shares and JBT Offer Shares issued as Transaction consideration. The number of shares used in computing diluted net loss per share for the combined company equals the

Note 6. Transaction Financing Adjustments
JBT plans to fund the cash portion of the Transaction through a combination of cash on hand of approximately $506.1 million and debt financing. JBT anticipates the need for debt financing of approximately $1,651.7 million to (i) pay the cash consideration in the Offer, (ii) repay certain existing indebtedness of Marel and settle existing Marel interest rate swaps, and (iii) pay Transaction costs, which include bank fees, financial advisory fees and other professional fees and are currently expected to be approximately $70.7 million.
The timing and form of borrowings is currently unknown but may include a draw down on the Existing JBT Revolving Credit Facility, the incurrence of indebtedness through the issuance of secured and/or unsecured financing and/or a short-term bridge loan facility. The exact timing and structure of this financing is currently unknown. As the terms of the Bridge Credit Agreement are the best available information, the Transaction Financing adjustments are calculated based on the terms of the Bridge Credit Agreement. These assumptions and expectations are subject to change, and the duration fees and debt issuance costs to be incurred and related interest expense could vary significantly from what is assumed in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Other factors that are subject to change include, but are not limited to, the timing of borrowings, the amount of cash on hand at the time of the closing and inputs to interest rate determination on debt instruments issued.
a) | Represents an increase in cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt for additional expected borrowings, net of deferred financing costs of $25.3 million. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet presents these borrowings as long-term debt under the assumption that JBT has the intent and ability to replace the Bridge Credit Agreement with long-term debt financing prior to the Offer Closing Time. |
b) | Represents the reversal of net deferred financing costs of $5.9 million capitalized as a deferred charge in JBT’s 30 June 2024 balance sheet in connection with the Bridge Credit Agreement. For the pro forma condensed combined financial information, the deferred financing costs related to the Bridge Credit Agreement have been reversed, and instead shown as a reduction of the initial carrying amount of the long-term indebtedness associated with the Transaction Financing. See Notes 6(a) and 6(c). |
c) | Represents an increase in interest expense related to the incremental borrowings. In determining pro forma interest expense, JBT applied an estimated interest rate of 5.77% per annum for borrowings expected to be used to fund the Transaction, derived from the three-month EURIBOR as of 6 August |
27
2024, plus a margin of 2.25% per annum, increasing by 0.50% per annum at the end of each successive 90 day period after the initial borrowing date, which is consistent with the terms of the Bridge Credit Agreement. Because the financing under the Bridge Credit Agreement matures 364 days after funding, the pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the six months ended 30 June 2024 assumes replacement financing at the same interest rate that exists immediately prior to the maturity of the Bridge Credit Agreement.

To the John Bean Technologies Corporation board of directors
Report on the compilation of pro forma financial information included in the Prospectus
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of the combined group by the John Bean Technologies Corporation board of directors (‘JBT Board’). The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of an unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and related notes as set out the unaudited pro forma financial information approved by the JBT Board on July 31, 2024. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the JBT Board has compiled the pro forma financial information are specified in Annex 20 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980 and described in note 1 in the pro forma financial information (the “Applicable Criteria”).
The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled by the JBT Board to illustrate the impact of the Transaction on JBT’s consolidated statement of financial position at June 30, 2024 and its consolidated statement of income for the financial year ended December 31, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 as if the Transaction had taken place at January 1, 2023. As part of this process, information about Marel’s financial position and financial performance has been extracted by the JBT Board from Marel’s audited
28
consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2023, on which an audit report has been published, and Marel’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The JBT Board‘s responsibility for the pro forma financial information
The JBT Board is responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.
Our independence and quality management
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
The firm applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Practitioner’s responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion as required by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980, about whether the unaudited pro forma financial has been compiled, in all material respects, by the JBT Board on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that the practitioner plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the JBT Board has compiled, in all material respects, the pro forma financial information on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.
For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.
The purpose of pro forma financial information included in the Prospectus is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at June 30, 2024 would have been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the Applicable Criteria used by the JBT Board the compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
• | The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and |
• | the pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information. |
The procedures selected depend on the practitioner’s judgment, having regard to the practitioner’s understanding of the nature of the company, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
29
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.
Report on other legal or regulatory requirements
This report has been issued solely in connection with the proposed Transaction as set out in the Prospectus issued by JBT and the Offeror. Therefore, this report is not intended to be used in other jurisdictions and should not be used or relied upon for any other purpose.
