Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

“Safe Harbor” Statement under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This current report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to the closing of the Merger (as defined below) and related transactions described in this current report or to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations (“cautionary statements”) are more fully disclosed in the reports and other filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q under the section headed “Risk Factors.” All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. We assume no obligation to update any written or oral forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf as a result of new information, future events or other factors.

As provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information contained in this current report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. Furnishing this information, we make no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.

In connection with anticipated meetings with potential lenders to discuss financing for the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of an affiliate of Silver Lake Partners and TPG Capital (the “Sponsors”) with and into Avaya Inc., the Company furnishes the following information (unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” “Avaya” and similar terms refer to Avaya Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries):


UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

We derived the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data set forth below by the application of pro forma adjustments to our historical consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Merger, the debt and equity financings necessary to complete the Merger and the payment of related fees and expenses (collectively, the “Transactions”) as if they had occurred on June 30, 2007. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the nine months ended June 30, 2007 and the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on October 1, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 has been included in order to provide readers with pro forma information for the latest practicable twelve-month period. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon information and assumptions available at the time of the preparation of this current report on Form 8-K that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates of, among other items, the amount of debt to be incurred in connection with the closing of the Merger and the related interest rates, and transaction and management fees to be incurred. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material. We cannot assure you that the assumptions used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data will prove to be correct. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what our results of operations, balance sheet data or other financial information would have been if the Transactions had occurred as of the dates indicated, or what such results will be for any future periods.

The Transactions will be accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). The total purchase price of the Merger, including directly-related fees and expenses, has been allocated to our assets and liabilities based upon management’s preliminary estimates of fair value in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. The final purchase price allocation will be based on a formal valuation analysis as of the closing date of the Merger performed by management with the assistance of a third party appraisal company. The final purchase price allocation may include adjustments to the preliminary estimated fair values of acquired assets and liabilities presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data set forth below. Any such adjustments may be material. These estimates are subject to change and any such change may be material.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments do not reflect certain non-recurring items such as accelerated stock compensation, certain investment banking fees, and non-recurring income statement impacts as a result of preliminary purchase price allocations, including adjustments to inventory and deferred revenue. You should read the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data and the accompanying notes in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007 and the other financial information contained in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of both the Form 10-Q and Form 10-K.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

(Dollar Amounts in Millions)

The Transactions will be accounted for using purchase accounting. The June 30, 2007 unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet information presented is based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed, available information and assumptions and will be revised as additional information becomes available. The adjustments to the balance sheet assume the Transactions occurred on June 30, 2007. The actual adjustments to our consolidated financial statements upon closing of the Transactions will depend on a number of factors, including additional information becoming available and our net assets on the closing date. Therefore, the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and differences, if any, may be material.

 

(a) Reflects the estimated sources and uses of cash for the Transactions as follows:

 

Senior unsecured notes (1)

  (1) $700 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2015.

 

  (2) $1,000 million principal amount of senior PIK Toggle unsecured notes due 2015.

 

  (3) $3,800 million senior secured term loan facility due 2014, requiring quarterly principal payments of $9.5 million.

 

  (4) Cash equity investment of $2,140 million.

 

  (5) The holders of outstanding shares of common stock will receive $17.50 in cash per common share in connection with the Merger. The purchase price assumes 456,122,537 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2007 excluding restricted shares, plus net value of outstanding options of $110 million, which is calculated based on 38,923,517 options outstanding, and 7,130,411 restricted stock units and deferred shares in respect of our common stock.

 

  (6) This amount reflects our preliminary estimate of fees and expenses associated with the Transactions, including financial advisory costs, professional fees and other transaction costs as follows:

 

Purchase price transaction costs

   $ 76

Other transaction costs

     50

Debt issuance costs

     160
      

Estimated fees and expenses

   $ 286
      

 

(b) The inventory balance has been adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value of inventory on hand as of June 30, 2007. Fair value is calculated as selling price less costs to sell and a normal profit margin.

 

(c) Property, plant and equipment have been adjusted to reflect the estimated fair values of the assets.

 

(d) This adjustment represents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets, and the elimination of previously-recorded intangible asset carrying values.

  (1) $141 million of the purchase price has been allocated to in-process research and development. Such allocated amounts will be expensed immediately upon consummation of the Transactions and thus is included in Stockholders' Equity as of June 30, 2007.

 

  (2) Represents estimated Merger-related costs incurred by Avaya prior to or upon the consummation of the Transactions.

 

(i) Adjustments for deferred taxes have been reflected in the pro forma balance sheet based upon differences between the book bases and tax bases of the assets and liabilities as a result of the application of purchase accounting. Deferred taxes have been calculated based on statutory tax rates in effect as of June 30, 2007 for the subsidiaries for which such book / tax differences are expected to arise.

 

7


This preliminary purchase price allocation is based on initial estimates of fair value of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2007. The final purchase price allocation is dependent on, among other things, the finalization of asset and liability valuations. As of the date of this current report on Form 8-K, we have not completed the valuation analysis to estimate the fair values of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed and the related allocation of purchase price. We have allocated the total estimated purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of fair values. A final determination of intangible asset values will take into consideration the final valuation work performed by the Company with the assistance of a third-party appraisal company. The final valuation will be based on the actual asset and liability balances that exist as of the closing date of the Transactions. Any final adjustment will change the allocations of purchase price, which could affect the fair value assigned to the assets and liabilities, including goodwill, and such change may be material and could result in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, including a change in the preliminary estimate of goodwill.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed

Consolidated Statements of Income

(Dollar Amounts in Millions)

The foregoing unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year ended September 30, 2006, nine months ended June 30, 2007 and twelve months ended June 30, 2007 have been prepared by applying pro forma adjustments to the previously-recorded audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred as of October 1, 2005. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are based upon available information, certain other assumptions and a preliminary purchase price allocation. The information does not purport to represent what our results of operations would have been had the Transactions actually occurred on the date indicated and does not purport to project our results of operations for future periods. The final purchase price allocation will result in changes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income and differences, if any, may be material.

The unaudited pro forma condensed results of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 are presented for supplemental purposes only and may not be permitted under Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

Pro Forma EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2007

We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA with the further adjustments identified below.

We have included EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to provide investors with a supplemental measure of our operating performance and ability to service and incur debt. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analyses of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflect (a) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; and (d) tax payments or distributions to our parent to make payments with respect to taxes attributable to us that represent a reduction in cash available to us. Because of these limitations, we have primarily relied on our results as reported in accordance with GAAP and use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. In addition, because other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, EBITDA may not be, and Adjusted EBITDA as presented below is not, comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

A reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and to Adjusted EBITDA is included below:

Operational Improvement Program

The unaudited pro forma financial condensed consolidated financial data set forth above does not include the impact of the Company’s anticipated post-closing operational improvement program. This program, which was developed by the Company’s management and the Sponsors, consists of annual operating improvements of approximately $200 million at full implementation by 2010 from initiatives that have been identified. Cost savings are expected to come from operational efficiencies and private company savings and fall into categories that include, but are not limited to, information technology infrastructure, supply chain, procurement, workforce optimization and real estate.

Management regularly reviews its cost structure and business operations to identify areas for improvement. Certain elements of this program expand, refine and/or accelerate certain operational improvements independently identified by management on a preliminary basis. We expect that these improvements will be implemented after the closing of the Merger and these improvements do not necessarily reflect cost reductions that would be achievable should the Merger fail to close and the Company remains a public company. In addition, the Company will incur certain costs to achieve the cost savings. There can be no assurance that all or any of cost savings related to this program will be achieved within the anticipated timeframe or at all.
