Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Financing Transaction
The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements to give effect to the pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the business combination, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the pro forma consolidated statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact to the combined results following the business combination.
The business combination was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. As the acquirer for accounting purposes, Wabash National has estimated the fair value of Supreme Industries’ assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The pro forma combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The combined pro forma financial information does not reflect the realization of any expected cost savings or other synergies from the Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations reflect the following transactions as if they occurred at the dates noted above:
•
the Acquisition for a cash purchase price of $360.4 million and the repayment of Supreme Industries’ outstanding indebtedness;
•
the issuance of $325.0 million principal amount notes offered hereby; and
•
the payment of estimated costs of issuances of the notes.
Note 2. Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions
The unaudited pro forma adjustments described below are based on assumptions and estimates, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. Since the pro forma financial statements have been prepared based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented. These estimates and assumptions are subject to change pending further review of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed, and as additional information becomes available. The final purchase price allocation will be determined after the acquisition is completed and could differ materially from the preliminary allocations used in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. The final allocation may include (1) changes to fair value of property, plant and equipment, (2) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as trade names, customer and supplier relationships and backlog as well as goodwill and (3) other changes to assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information:
(a)
Reflects the assumed net proceeds to Wabash National of $320.6 million from the issuance of $325.0 million principal amount of notes after deducting issuance costs of approximately $4.4 million. These costs will be capitalized and amortized through interest expense over the life of the notes using the effective interest method.
(b)
Reflects the estimated purchase price of Supreme Industries of $360.4 million, and other acquisition costs of $1.7 million, inclusive of bridge commitment financing fees, and does not reflect a use of cash to make approximately $27.5 million in change in control payments further described in note (g) of the Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements which are expected to be settled in cash following the closing of the Acquisition. Adjustments also reflect the repayment of Supreme Industries’ outstanding debt of $7.2 million. Does not reflect cash to be used to pay expected fees and expenses associated with the Acquisition of approximately $10 million.
