Note 1: Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 combines the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 for Activision with the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 for Vivendi Games. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 combines the three months ended March 31, 2008 for Activision with the three months ended March 31, 2008 for Vivendi Games. Therefore, Activision’s consolidated statement of operations for the period January 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 has been presented in both the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007. In addition, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the consolidated balance sheet of Activision as of March 31, 2008 with the consolidated balance sheet of Vivendi Games as of March 31, 2008.

 

Under the terms of the business combination agreement, Activision and Vivendi Games combined their businesses through the merger of a newly formed, wholly- owned subsidiary of Activision with and into Vivendi Games. In the transaction, shares of Vivendi Games were converted into 295.3 million newly issued shares of Activision common stock which was based upon a valuation of Vivendi Games at $8.121 billion and a per share price for Activision common stock of $27.50. Concurrently, Vivendi purchased 62.9 million newly issued shares of Activision common stock at a price of $27.50 per share for a total of approximately $1.731 billion in cash. As a result of these transactions, Vivendi owns approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding shares of Activision Blizzard common stock on a fully diluted basis.

 

Within five (5) business days after closing the transaction, Activision Blizzard has agreed to commence an approximately $4.028 billion cash tender offer to purchase up to 146.5 million shares of Activision Blizzard common stock at $27.50 per share, regardless of the then-current stock price. The tender offer will be funded by Activision Blizzard’s cash on hand at closing, including the $1.731 billion in cash received from the Vivendi share purchase and, if necessary, borrowings made under the new credit facilities issued by Vivendi. In addition, if the aggregate tender offer consideration exceeds $2.928 billion, Vivendi has agreed to acquire from Activision Blizzard additional newly issued shares for up to an additional $700 million of Activision Blizzard common stock at $27.50 per share, the proceeds of which would also be used to fund the tender offer. Any remaining funds required to complete the tender offer up to a maximum of $400 million will be borrowed by Activision Blizzard from Vivendi under such credit facility. If the tender offer is fully subscribed, Vivendi will own approximately 68% of the issued and outstanding shares of Activision Blizzard common stock on a fully diluted basis. To the extent that the Activision Blizzard stock trades significantly above the tender offer price of $27.50 per share throughout the tender offer period, shareholder participation in the tender offer may be limited.
