Other Events On September 2, 1997, Allied Holdings, Inc. ("Allied" or the "Company") issued the press release filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 in connection with its offering (the "Offering") of its Senior Notes Due 2007 (the "Notes"). As set forth in the press release, the net proceeds of the Offering, if consummated, will be used to fund the proposed acquisition (the "Acquisition") by the Company from Ryder System, Inc. ("Ryder System") of Ryder Automotive Carrier Services, Inc. and RC Management Corp (collectively "Ryder"). In connection with the Offering, the Company prepared a Preliminary Offering Memorandum which contains a pro forma financial statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1996, and a pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 1997. These pro forma financial statements are set forth below. 2 3 ALLIED HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following unaudited pro forma financial information has been derived from the historical financial statements of the Company and Ryder, and gives pro forma effect to the Acquisition and the Offering as if they had occurred as of January 1, 1996 with respect to the unaudited condensed pro forma statements of operations and as of June 30, 1997 with respect to the unaudited condensed pro forma balance sheet. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to represent what the Company's results of operations actually would have been if each of such transactions had occurred as of the dates indicated or will be for any future periods. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based upon assumptions believed appropriate by management of the Company and does not reflect all potential cost savings or improvements in revenues that the Company believes could be realized as a result of the Acquisition. However, there can be no assurance that any of these anticipated savings can be achieved or that the effects of any such savings will not be offset by unexpected, unforeseen increases in other costs. The Acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price for the Acquisition will be allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair values at the closing of the Acquisition, based upon valuation and other studies which are not yet complete. The allocation of the purchase price reflected herein is subject to revision when additional information from the valuations and studies become available. However, the Company does not expect that the effects of the final allocation will differ materially from those set forth herein. 3 4 ALLIED HOLDINGS, INC.
