Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
On November 8, 2006, Lear Corporation (“Lear”) completed the sale of 8,695,653 shares of its common stock in a private placement to affiliates of and funds managed by Carl C. Icahn for a purchase price of $23 per share (the “Equity Offering”).
On October 16, 2006, Lear completed the contribution of substantially all of its European interior business to International Automotive Components Group, LLC (“IAC Europe”), its joint venture with WL Ross & Co. LLC (“WL Ross”) and Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC (“Franklin”), in exchange for a one-third equity interest in IAC Europe (the “ISD Europe Transaction”). On November 30, 2006, Lear entered into an asset purchase agreement with International Automotive Components Group North America, Inc. and International Automotive Components Group, LLC (together, IAC North America), WL Ross and Franklin under which Lear agreed to transfer substantially all of the assets of its North American interior business (as well as its interests in two China joint ventures) and $25 million of cash to IAC North America (the “ISD NA Transaction”). Under the terms of the agreement, Lear will receive a 25% equity interest in the IAC North America joint venture and warrants to purchase an additional 7% equity interest. IAC North America will assume the ordinary course liabilities of Lear’s North American interior business, while Lear will retain certain pre-closing liabilities, including pension and other postretirement healthcare liabilities incurred through the closing date of the transaction.
For accounting purposes, Lear’s interests in IAC Europe and IAC North America will be reflected on the equity method of accounting. The pro forma adjustments related to Lear’s accounting for these equity investments do not reflect purchase accounting adjustments to be recorded by IAC Europe and IAC North America and do not reflect the operations of other businesses acquired by IAC Europe and IAC North America. Consequently, the amounts reflected in Lear’s unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are subject to change.
On November 24, 2006, Lear completed an offering of $900 million in new senior notes and commenced a tender offer for $850 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2008 and 2009 senior notes. The pro forma adjustments reflect the completion of the offering and the repurchase of $850 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2008 and 2009 senior notes (the “Refinancing Transactions”).
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006, gives effect to the Equity Offering, the ISD Europe Transaction, the ISD NA Transaction and the Refinancing Transactions (collectively, the “Transactions”) as if they had occurred as of September 30, 2006. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2005.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Lear believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The actual amounts could differ from these estimates. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have been achieved had the Transactions been consummated on the dates indicated and should not be construed as representative of future results of operations or financial position. In addition, the ISD NA Transaction and the Refinancing Transactions have not been completed. No assurances can be given that these transactions will be completed on the terms contemplated or at all. Any changes in the terms of these transactions will result in adjustments to the pro forma information included herein. The pro forma results should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Lear’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006.
