NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF APERGY
NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTIONS
On December 18, 2019, Ecolab, ChampionX, Apergy and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement, and Ecolab, ChampionX and Apergy entered into the Separation Agreement, pursuant to which Apergy will combine with Ecolab’s ChampionX Business. In connection with the Transactions, Ecolab will effect (1) the separation of the ChampionX Business from Ecolab’s other businesses, (2) the distribution, through (a) the Exchange Offer, and if the Exchange Offer is not fully subscribed, theclean-upspin-off, or (b) if the Exchange Offer is terminated by Ecolab without the exchange of shares (but the conditions to consummation of the Transactions have otherwise been satisfied), the distribution of all shares of ChampionX common stock on a pro rata basis to Ecolab stockholders in aspin-off, and (3) immediately thereafter, the merger of Merger Sub with and into ChampionX, with ChampionX becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Apergy. Following the consummation of the Transactions, ChampionX equityholders will own, in the aggregate, approximately 62% of the issued and outstanding Apergy common stock on a fully diluted basis and the Apergy equityholders will own, in the aggregate, approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding Apergy common stock on a fully diluted basis.
Acquisition-related transaction costs, such as investment banker, advisory, legal, valuation and other professional fees are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are expensed as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, transaction costs incurred by Apergy were $11.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects a total of approximately $49.6 million of anticipated acquisition-related transaction costs to be incurred by Apergy, as an increase of accrued expenses and other liabilities with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet does not include an adjustment for ChampionX’s anticipated separation related expenses as these are incurred and paid by Ecolab. No tax effect was recorded for these costs as their deductibility has not been assessed. These costs are not presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations because they will not have a continuing impact on the consolidated results of Apergy.
