Trinseo (TSE) 8-K/A Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On May 3, 2021, Trinseo S.A., (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Trinseo”), completed its previously-announced acquisition of the polymethyl methacrylates (“PMMA”) and activated methyl methacrylates (“MMA”) business (together, the “PMMA business”) of Arkema S.A., (“Arkema” or the “Seller”) through the purchase of shares of certain subsidiaries of Arkema (the “Acquisition”), for a purchase price of €1.12 billion (approximately $1.36 billion), subject to customary working capital and other post-closing adjustments. The Acquisition was completed pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, dated March 19, 2021 (the “SPA”), by and between the Company and Arkema.

The Acquisition was funded using the net proceeds from the Company’s new financing arrangements, including $450.0 million from its 2029 Senior Notes issued on March 24, 2021 and $750.0 million of incremental term loan borrowings under the 2028 Term Loan B entered into in conjunction with closing of the transaction (together, the “Financing”), as well as available cash.

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, gives effect to the Acquisition and Financing (together, the “Transactions”) as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had been consummated on December 31, 2020.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information and related notes were derived from (i) the audited consolidated financial statements of Trinseo for the year ended December 31, 2020, and (ii) the audited combined carve-out financial statements of the Arkema business for the year ended December 31, 2020. The historical PMMA business (also referred to as the “Arkema business,” the “Mallarmé business,” or the “Mallarmé combined group”) and the audited combined carve-out financial statements and related notes thereto also included the operations of a manufacturing site in South Korea. However, this site is not within the scope of the Acquisition. As such, within this document, we distinguish between the historical operations of the acquired business, inclusive of South Korea operations, as the “Arkema business” and the results of the acquired business, excluding the South Korea operations, as the “PMMA business.”

The pro forma adjustments consist of transaction accounting adjustments reflecting (i) the exclusion of the South Korea site and related operations, which are included in the historical results of the Arkema business but are not included in the scope of the Acquisition (“Excluded South Korea Business”) (ii) the impact of the PMMA Acquisition (“Acquisition Pro Forma Adjustments”), and (iii) other transaction accounting adjustments related to Financing (“Financing Pro Forma Adjustments”).

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X.

Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. Management believes that these assumptions and adjustments are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances and are factually supported based on information currently available.

The preliminary purchase price allocation was made using the best estimates of fair value, which are dependent upon certain valuations that are not yet final. As a result, the unaudited pro forma purchase price adjustments related to the acquisition are preliminary and subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to represent, or be indicative of, what our financial position or results of operations will be for any future period or as of any future date. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect any integration costs or savings that may be realized from the Transactions.

See accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

1.Basis of Presentation

The pro forma financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date with limited exceptions. The acquisition method of accounting uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”).

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes the framework for measuring fair value for any asset acquired or liability assumed under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measurements. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible the application of reasonable judgement could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.

2.Transaction and Estimated Purchase Consideration

The acquisition of the PMMA business will be accounted for as a business combination and will reflect the application of acquisition accounting in accordance with ASC 805. The calculation of estimated purchase consideration is based on the terms of the SPA and the preliminary closing certificate received from Arkema prior to the close of the Acquisition, in accordance with the terms of the SPA.

The following tables present the consideration and preliminary purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Acquisition (in millions):

Initial purchase price	€	1,137.0
Contractual adjustments to purchase price 1		(17.2)
Total cash consideration transferred	€	1,119.8
Liability incurred to former owners for excluded real property2		1.9
Total Euro denominated consideration transferred	€	1,121.7
Euro to USD conversion rate (as of May 3, 2021)		1.2096
Total Euro consideration transferred in USD	$	1,356.8
Other consideration transferred
Reimbursement of transaction bonus	$	(0.5)
Total transaction consideration	$	1,356.3

1 Reflects preliminary adjustments to the base purchase price based on contractual terms of the SPA; amounts may change based upon final settlement and agreement between the Company and Arkema

2 The Porto Marghera, Italy manufacturing site will be legally transferred to the Company at a later date due to local transfer restrictions; however, the Company will receive the benefits and risks of ownership during the period from May 3, 2021 to when the site legally transfers. At the date of transfer, an additional payment of €1.9 million will be made. The Company expects this transfer to occur within one year of the transaction close date.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the PMMA business balance sheet is as follows:

(in millions)
Current assets		91.4
Property, plant and equipment		237.4
Other intangibles		514.8
Goodwill		552.4
Other long-term assets		49.3
Total assets	$	1,445.3
Current liabilities		18.6
Other liabilities		70.4
Total liabilities	$	89.0
Total consideration	$	1,356.3

3. Derivation of Arkema business Historical Financial Information and Related Reclassification Adjustments

The historical combined carve-out financial statements of the Arkema business are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), which differ in certain respects from GAAP as applied by Trinseo. Trinseo has not identified any material adjustments to conform the Arkema business financial information to GAAP or Trinseo accounting policies that impact the pro forma financial statements as presented, except for (i) the treatment of pension expense and related liabilities to be assumed by Trinseo, which is converted to GAAP and recorded at fair value in Acquisition Pro Forma Adjustment J, and (ii) those reflected in financial statement caption classification differences described in the tables below.

The historical combined carve-out financial statements of the Arkema business are presented in Euro. The historical financial information was translated from Euro to U.S. dollars using the December 31, 2020 spot rate of 1.2293 to translate the Balance Sheet and the average daily exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 of 1.1383 to translate the Statement of Operations.

A reconciliation from the as issued combined carve-out statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 of the Arkema business (also referred to as “Mallarmé” within said combined carve-out financial statements) to the amounts presented in the Arkema business (Historical as converted) column is as follows:
