This excerpt taken from the ATVI 8-K filed Jul 15, 2008. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007 give effect to the transaction as if it was consummated on January 1, 2007 and include all adjustments which give effect to events that are directly attributable to the transaction, expected to have a continuing impact, and that are factually supportable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2008 gives effect to the transaction as if it had been consummated on March 31, 2008 and includes all adjustments which give effect to events that are directly attributable to the transaction and that are factually supportable. The notes to the pro forma financial information describe the pro forma amounts and adjustments presented below.
The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the transaction are based upon the purchase method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and upon the assumptions set forth in the notes herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price to identifiable net assets acquired and the excess purchase price to goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have not progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information to make a definitive allocation. In addition, the estimated purchase price itself is preliminary and will be adjusted based upon the Activision share price on the date of closing. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments may be materially different from the preliminary pro forma adjustments presented herein. This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial information appearing under Selected Historical Financial Data of Activision and Selected Historical Financial Data of Vivendi Games and the historical financial statements of Activision and Vivendi Games included in the proxy statement dated June 6, 2008.
No additional pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect the repurchase of 146.5 million shares of Activision Blizzard common stock at $27.50 per share, representing the maximum amount of shares to be purchased under the cash tender offer commencing within five (5) business days after the closing of the transaction, because the Activision common stock price exceeds the tender offer price as of the date of the transaction close date and as of the date of this 8-K. As of July 9, 2008 the closing price of Activision common stock was $30.07. It is expected that the level of participation in the tender offer may be limited to the extent that the Activision Blizzard stock trades significantly above the $27.50 tender offer price throughout the tender offer period. To the extent that Activisions stockholders participate in the tender offer, the tender offer will be funded with (according to the terms of the business combination agreement): (a) Activision Blizzards available cash on hand including $1.731 billion in proceeds from the sale of 62.9 million shares to Vivendi, short term investments (excluding restricted cash) and borrowings made under the new credit facilities from Vivendi for the first $2.928 billion of the aggregate tender, (b) proceeds from the issuance of additional shares to Vivendi for $700 million, and (c) additional borrowings under such credit facilities from Vivendi.
The pro forma adjustments do not reflect any operating efficiencies or inefficiencies which may result from the transaction. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of results that would have been achieved had the businesses been combined during the periods presented or the results that Activision Blizzard will experience after the transaction is consummated. In addition, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing this pro forma information. Actual results could differ, perhaps materially, from these estimates and assumptions.
