SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
On September 26, 2006, Jazz Technologies, Inc. (“Parent”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Joy, entered into the merger agreement with Jazz Semiconductor, Inc. (“Jazz”) and TC Group, L.L.C., as the Jazz stockholders’ representative, pursuant to which Joy agreed to merge with and into Jazz. The merger was consummated on February 16, 2007 and at the effective time of the merger, Jazz was the surviving corporation and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. We are providing the following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to assist you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the merger. The merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this current report. The purchase price allocations set forth in the following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are based on preliminary valuation estimates of Jazz’s tangible and intangible assets. The final valuations, and any interim updated preliminary valuation estimates, may differ materially from these preliminary valuation estimates and, as a result, the final allocation of the purchase price may result in reclassifications of the allocated amounts that are materially different from the purchase price allocations reflected below. Any material change in the valuation estimates and related allocation of the purchase price would materially impact Parent’s depreciation and amortization expenses, the summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and Parent’s results of operations after the merger. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary, and the summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the merger taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of Parent or Jazz. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the conversion of 5,668,116 shares of our outstanding common stock into a pro rata share of the trust account and the redemption of 1,873,738 common shares held by Acquicor Management LLC and our outside directors at a redemption price of $0.0047 per share.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflect the historical results of Jazz and Parent, adjusted to give effect to the merger.
 
We are providing this information to assist you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the merger. We derived this information from (i) the audited consolidated financial statements of Jazz as of and for the year ended December 29, 2006, and (ii) the audited financial statements of Parent as of and for year ended December 31, 2006. This information should be read together with the Jazz consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this current report and the Parent financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this current report.
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements combine (i) the historical balance sheets of Parent as of December 31, 2006 and Jazz as of December 29, 2006 giving pro forma effect to the merger of Parent and Jazz as if it had occurred on December 31, 2006, and (ii) the historical statements of operations of Parent and Jazz for the year ended December 31, 2006 and December 29, 2006, respectively, giving pro forma effect to the merger of Parent and Jazz and Parent’s convertible note financing as if both had occurred on January 1, 2006.
 
The pro forma adjustments are preliminary, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the merger taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of Parent or Jazz. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price will be allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on various estimates of their respective fair values. Parent is determining the estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities with the assistance of third party valuation specialists and has engaged a third party appraiser to assist management to perform a valuation of all the assets and liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, Business Combinations (‘‘SFAS No. 141’’). The purchase price allocations set forth in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on preliminary valuation estimates of Jazz’s tangible and intangible assets. The final valuations, and any interim updated preliminary valuation estimates, may differ materially from these preliminary valuation estimates and, as a result, the final allocation of the purchase price may result in reclassifications of the allocated amounts that are materially different from the purchase price allocations reflected below. Any material change in the valuation estimates and related allocation of the purchase price would materially impact Parent’s depreciation and amortization expenses, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and Parent’s results of operations after the merger.
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the conversion of 5,668,116 shares of our outstanding common stock into a pro rata share of the trust account and the redemption of 1,873,738 common shares held by Acquicor Management LLC and our outside directors at a redemption price of $0.0047 per share. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunctions with the notes thereto.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
On September 26, 2006, Parent, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Joy, entered into the merger agreement with Jazz and TC Group, L.L.C., as the Jazz stockholders’ representative, pursuant to which Joy agreed to merge with and into Jazz. The merger was consummated on February 16, 2007 and at the effective time of the merger, Jazz was the surviving corporation and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the total merger consideration to be paid is approximately $260 million, subject to adjustment based on Jazz’s working capital and possible future contingent payments and subject to reduction by the amount of certain transaction expenses incurred by Jazz in connection with the merger and its terminated initial public offering.
 
For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Parent has estimated the total cash payments by Parent or Jazz in connection with the completion of the merger to be $307.9 million:
 
   
(in thousands)
 
Merger consideration (a)
 
$
264,500
 
Jazz transaction costs (b)
   
3,540
 
Merger consideration payable at closing (c)
 
$
260,960
 
Estimated fees and expenses of Parent (d)

Debt issuance costs (e)

Total cash payments at completion of merger
   
274,910
 
Cash payments to Acquicor shareholder’s converting shares (g)
   
33,034
 
Total cash payments in connection with the completion of the merger
 
$
307,944
 

 
(a)
Reflects $264.5 million of merger consideration before the deduction for transaction expenses incurred by Jazz in connection with the merger and its terminated public offering and includes the impact of a working capital adjustment. The purchase price was subject to possible decrease of up to $4.5 million to the extent the working capital of Jazz as of the closing is less than $193 million and a possible increase of up to $4.5 million plus $50,000 per day for each day after March 31, 2007 until the closing to the extent the working capital of Jazz as of the closing is greater than $198 million. Jazz’s estimated working capital at closing was in excess of $200 million resulting in an increase in the purchase price by $4.5 million. Parent financed the merger consideration and additional payments made at the closing of the merger from the proceeds of its initial public offering and the sale of convertible senior notes. The purchase price is subject to further adjustment based on a final closing date balance sheet to be prepared within 90 days following the closing of the merger. Also, Parent may become obligated to pay additional amounts to former stockholders of Jazz if Jazz realizes proceeds in excess of $10 million from its investment in Shanghai Hua Hong NEC Electronics Co., Ltd. (“HHNEC”) from certain specified events. For purposes of the pro forma financial statements, Parent has assumed that no such specified events have occurred during the periods presented. To the extent Parent becomes obligated to make these payments to Jazz’s former stockholders, the merger consideration would be adjusted by the amount of such payments. The total merger consideration of $260.9 million set forth above differs from the total merger consideration paid by Parent at the closing of $260.1 due to $0.8 million of transaction expense accrued by Jazz in 2007.
 
 
(b)
Pursuant to the merger agreement, transaction expenses incurred by Jazz in connection with the merger and its terminated public offering were subtracted from the total consideration to Jazz stockholders. As of December 29, 2006, such transaction expenses in connection with the merger and its terminated public offering were approximately $3.5 million.

(d)
Estimated fees and expenses include fees of consultants, legal fees and expenses, printing and mailing costs for this proxy statement, SEC and HSR filing fees, financial advisor fees and expenses, financing fees and related expenses, and other miscellaneous expenses directly related to the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby. Excludes approximately $0.4 million of fees and expenses previously paid.
 
(e)
Consists of debt issuance costs in connection with the issuance of convertible senior notes.
 
(f)

274,910
 

 
(a)

(b)

Accordingly, the cash payments reflected by note a reconcile with the total cash payments upon completion of the merger discussed in Note 1 as follows:
 
   
(in thousands)
 
Cash payments reflected in note a on the balance sheet

c.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price will be allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on various estimates of their respective fair values.

Parent received preliminary valuation estimates of certain tangible and intangible assets on December 13, 2006. Based on these preliminary valuation estimates, the total purchase price and the estimated transaction costs would be allocated as follows:

For purposes of these pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Parent has used the average of the high and low ranges of preliminary fair value estimates provided by the third party appraiser. The purchase price allocations set forth in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on preliminary valuation estimates of Jazz’s tangible and intangible assets. The final valuations, and any interim updated preliminary valuation estimates, may differ materially from these preliminary valuation estimates and, as a result, the final allocation of the purchase price may result in reclassifications of the allocated amounts that are materially different from the purchase price allocations reflected herein. Any material change in the valuation estimates and related allocation of the purchase price would materially impact Parent’s depreciation and amortization expenses, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and Parent’s results of operations after the merger.

n.
Reflects elimination of $0.5 million in income tax expenses in respect of interest earned on the funds in the trust account. Management has not determined the impact of the merger on Jazz’s deferred tax assets. Accordingly, no other adjustment has been made to deferred tax assets or income tax provision.
 
In addition, as of December 29, 2006, Jazz had federal tax net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards of approximately $93.5 million available to reduce taxable income in future years. These NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2008, unless previously utilized. Jazz also had state NOL carryforwards at December 29, 2006 of approximately $79.4 million, which will begin to expire in 2013, unless previously utilized. At December 29, 2006, Jazz had a $37.1 million deferred tax asset related to these net operating loss carryforwards. Due to uncertainty as to its ability to realize these deferred tax assets, Jazz recorded a full valuation allowance. Jazz's ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards will become subject to substantial annual limitations if it undergoes an ownership change as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The merger will result in an ownership change of Jazz as defined under Section 382, which may jeopardize Jazz's ability to use some or all of its NOL carryforwards following the completion of the merger. However, management has not made a determination of the impact of the merger on Jazz's ability to use its NOL carryforwards.
