The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes have been derived from and should be read in conjunction with (i) the historical consolidated financial statements of Perrigo and the related notes included in Perrigo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2022, and (ii) the audited consolidated financial statements of Héra and the related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holding Entities have no material assets or results of operations; therefore, the Holding Entities’ historical financial information is not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 gives effect to the Pro Forma Transactions as if they occurred or had become effective on December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to the Pro Forma Transactions as if they occurred or had become effective on January 1, 2021. Further information about this basis of presentation is provided in Note 1.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are being provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the Company’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Pro Forma Transactions been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations or financial position as of any future date or for any future period. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected due to various factors, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions as described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from these assumptions and these differences may be material. In addition, the unaudited pro forma 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 Proposed Acquisition or the costs necessary to achieve any such cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements. However, there can be no assurance that any of the expected cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements, or other benefits of the Proposed Acquisition expected by management, will be achieved.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by us using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. Perrigo has been treated as the acquirer in the Proposed Acquisition for accounting purposes.
Management believes the fair values recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions. Definitive allocations will be performed and finalized by the Company, where necessary with the services of outside valuation specialists. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation and amortization adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value. Management expects to finalize accounting for the business combination as soon as practicable after closing of the Proposed Acquisition, but in no event later than one year from closing.
