Transaction Overview

The strategic business combination is structured as a stock-for-stock merger with Andrew becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ADC. The transaction is expected to qualify as a tax-free reorganization. Under the terms of the agreement, Andrew shareholders will receive 0.57 of an ADC common share for each common share of Andrew they hold. Upon completion of the transaction, ADC shareholders will own approximately 56 percent of the combined company and Andrew shareholders will own approximately 44 percent of the combined company. ADC will assume all debt of Andrew and Andrew’s convertible notes will become convertible into ADC shares.

“We are committed to moving forward quickly and aggressively after closing to combine our operations and integrate our corporate cultures. We will be focused on capturing the full benefits of this combination for our customers, shareholders and employees,” Switz said.

Post closing, the transaction is expected to be non-dilutive to earnings per share in the first year of the combined company and accretive thereafter, excluding purchase accounting adjustments and other acquisition-related expenses. ADC and Andrew have estimated that synergies will generate additional annual pre-tax earnings of $70 million to $80 million in the third year after closing the transaction.

The combined company will be based at ADC’s world headquarters in Minnesota with ADC’s John A. Blanchard continuing as non-executive chairman, and ADC’s Robert E.

ADC’s employees and I look forward to working with Andrew’s employees and Ralph to achieve success in this strategic combination.”

The merger is subject to customary regulatory and governmental reviews in the United States and elsewhere, as well as the approval by shareholders of both companies and other customary conditions to closing.
