The shares of First Union common stock issued to effect the merger will be recorded at $31.15 per share which is the average price of the shares over a four-day period surrounding the date the merger was announced. The pro forma adjustments included herein are subject to updates as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include the impact of required deposit divestitures estimated to be $1.3 billion to $2.0 billion. The pro forma financial information also does not include restructuring and merger-related charges and an anticipated $450 million addition to the allowance for loan losses. We expect to realize significant revenue enhancements and cost savings following the merger which also are not reflected in this pro forma financial information. No assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate level of such revenue enhancements or cost savings. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the merger is consummated and after completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair values of Wachovia's tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. In addition, estimates related to restructuring and merger-related charges are subject to final decisions related to combining the companies. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments, restructuring charges and merger-related charges may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein. Any decrease in the net fair value of the assets and liabilities of Wachovia as compared to the information shown herein will have the effect of increasing the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. (2) The pro forma financial information for the merger is included only for the year ended December 31, 2000. The pro forma adjustments herein reflect an exchange ratio of two shares of First Union common stock for each of the 203,424,000 shares of Wachovia common stock that were outstanding at December 31, 2000. The unaudited pro forma information presented herein is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the merger been consummated at the beginning of the applicable period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company. The pro forma financial information reflects the addition of 406,848,000 shares of First Union common stock with an aggregate par value of $1.4 billion, an increase in paid-in capital of $11.6 billion for the excess of the fair value of the shares over the par value, and goodwill and deposit base premium of $7.2 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively. The pro forma financial information also includes a special dividend of $0.48 per Wachovia share which will be paid to Wachovia shareholders in connection with the merger. 4 The pro forma adjustments related to the pro forma balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2000, are presented below. Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2000 - ------------- ------------ Investment securities--adjustment to fair value.................... $ 29 Premises and equipment--adjustment to fair value................... (102) Goodwill and other intangible assets, net.......................... 7,770 Other assets--adjustments to fair value............................ (75) ------ Total............................................................ $7,622 ====== Other liabilities Personnel related................................................. 289 Occupancy related................................................. 55 Contract cancellations............................................ 93 Dividend payable.................................................. 98 Other............................................................. 83 Deferred income taxes............................................. 388 ------ Total............................................................ 1,006 Stockholders' equity............................................... 6,616 ------ Total............................................................ $7,622 ====== The pro forma adjustments above include $697 million that is part of the $1.4 billion of restructuring charges, merger-related charges and purchase accounting adjustments. The rest of the $1.4 billion is estimated restructuring and merger-related charges that are not reflected herein. Certain other assets and liabilities of Wachovia, principally loans and borrowings, will also be subject to adjustment to their respective fair values. Pending more detailed analysis, no pro forma adjustments are included herein for these assets and liabilities. The pro forma adjustments related to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of income reflect amortization on a seven-year sum-of-the-years' digits method for deposit base premium and a 25-year straight-line life method for goodwill. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2000, these adjustments amounted to an increase in noninterest expense of $734 million, of which $444 million is related to deposit base premium amortization and $290 million is related to goodwill amortization; and reductions in income taxes of $155 million and income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $579 million. (3) Earnings per share data has been computed based on the combined historical income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of First Union and Wachovia using the historical weighted average shares outstanding of First Union common stock and the weighted average shares outstanding, adjusted to equivalent shares of First Union common stock, for the year ended December 31, 2000. (4) On March 1, 2001, Wachovia completed the purchase of Republic Security Financial Corporation, a bank holding company headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida. Republic Security had assets of $3.1 billion and deposits of $2.1 billion at December 31, 2000. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and resulted in intangible assets of approximately $260 million and the issuance of 6.1 million shares of Wachovia common stock. On April 9, 2001, Wachovia announced an agreement to sell its consumer credit card portfolio. The portfolio includes 2.8 million customer accounts and managed balances of $8 billion. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2001, subject to regulatory approval, and is expected to result in a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.4 billion. 5 These transactions are not included in the pro forma financial information presented herein. (5) The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued a Proposed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards addressing the accounting for business combinations and acquired intangible assets. Under this proposed standard, goodwill and certain other intangible assets would not be subject to amortization, but rather would be subject to periodic testing for impairment. Deposit base intangible would continue to be subject to amortization. Under the transition provisions, as currently proposed, amortization of all goodwill would cease beginning in the quarter following issuance of a final standard. The FASB currently expects to issue a final standard in mid-July; however, there is no assurance that they will issue the final standard in accordance with that timetable or that the final standard will have the same provisions as currently proposed. 6
