Exhibit 99

Introductory Note

On June 9, 2006, Georgia Gulf Corporation (“Georgia Gulf” or “we”) entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Royal Group Technologies Limited (“Royal Group”) for CAD$13.00 per share (“CAD$” meaning Canadian dollars) for a total purchase price of approximately $1.5 billion (assuming an exchange rate of $1.00 to CAD$1.115). The plan of arrangement contemplated by the agreement was approved by Royal Group’s shareholders on August 4, 2006, and we have obtained all required regulatory approvals for the acquisition. We plan to finance the acquisition of Royal Group, to repay some of Royal Group’s existing indebtedness and to refinance some of our existing indebtedness with borrowings under a new senior secured credit facility and unsecured debt of $750 million. The new senior secured credit facility will consist of five year $375 million revolving credit facilities and a seven year $800 million term loan facility. We refer to (i) our acquisition of Royal Group, (ii) the repayment of Royal Group’s existing senior credit facility, (iii) the repayment at maturity of Royal Group’s 7.1% senior unsecured notes, Series A, due August 31, 2006 (the “Series A Notes”) and Royal Group’s 7.3% senior unsecured notes Series B, due August 31, 2006 (the “Series B Notes”) (iv) the repayment of Royal Group’s 7.1% series D notes due 2007 (the “Series D Notes”), assuming 100% of the Series D Notes are tendered, (v) the repayment of Royal Group’s 6.9% medium-term notes due 2010 (the “Medium-Term Notes”) within approximately 35 days after closing, (vi) the repayment of our existing senior secured credit facility, (vii) the borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and (viii) the incurrence of unsecured debt of $750 million as the “Transactions.”

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on June 30, 2006. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on July 1, 2005. We have supplementally provided pro forma financial data for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 as this information is commonly used to analyze companies in our industry. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. All significant balances and intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The pro forma balance sheet and pro forma statements of operations should not be considered indicative of actual results that would have been achieved had the transactions described above been consummated on the dates or for the periods indicated. Also, the pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations data should not be viewed as indicative of our financial condition or results of operations as of any future date or for any future period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the acquisition of Royal Group by Georgia Gulf using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the consideration paid by Georgia Gulf will be allocated to Royal Group’s assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of completion of the acquisition. The allocation 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. A final determination of the fair value of Royal Group’s assets and liabilities, which cannot be made prior to the completion of the acquisition, will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of Royal Group that exist as of the closing date of the transaction. The pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary, subject to future adjustments and have been made solely for the purpose of

providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data presented below. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements also reflect (i) the translation of Royal Group’s financial data from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars; (ii) reclassifications to conform the historical financial statement presentation of Royal Group to that of Georgia Gulf; (iii) the conversion of Royal Group’s financial data from Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”); (iv) adjustments to conform Royal Group’s accounting policies to that of Georgia Gulf; and (v) the Transactions. Georgia Gulf will continue to assess Royal Group’s accounting policies for any additional adjustments that may be required to conform Royal Group’s accounting policies to that of Georgia Gulf, other than those noted in the pro forma adjustments described below.

The historical consolidated financial statements of Royal Group have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. In certain respects U.S. GAAP differs from Canadian GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect pro forma adjustments to present Royal Group’s historical information under U.S. GAAP.

The translations of the historical Royal Group consolidated financial statements from CAD to U.S. dollars used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are as follows:

·  Royal Group historical consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 translated from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars using the spot rate as of June 30, 2006 of 1.00 U.S. dollar: 1.1150 CAD;

·  Royal Group historical consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 translated from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 2005 of 1.00 U.S. dollar: 1.2114 CAD;

·  Royal Group historical consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 translated from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of 1.00 U.S. dollar: 1.1383 CAD; and

·  Royal Group historical consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 translated from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 of 1.00 U.S. dollar: 1.1629 CAD.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include cost savings and operating efficiencies expected to be achieved from the Royal Group acquisition.

1Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Transactions as if they occurred on June 30, 2006. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2005. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on July 1, 2005. We have supplementally provided pro forma financial data for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 as this information is commonly used to analyze companies in our industry. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. All significant balances and intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include cost savings and operating efficiencies expected to be achieved from the Royal Group acquisition.

3—Description of Translation to U.S. dollars, Reclassifications, U.S. GAAP Adjustments and Pro Forma Adjustments

The Translation to U.S. dollars, Reclassifications and U.S. GAAP Adjustments columns included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data represent adjustments necessary to:

·  Translate the historical financial statements of Royal Group from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of June 30, 2006 for the balance sheet and the average exchange rate for the appropriate periods for the statements of operations.

·  Conform the historical presentation of the Royal Group financial statements to the historical Georgia Gulf financial statement presentation; and

·  Convert the historical Royal Group financial statements from Canadian GAAP to U.S. GAAP.

·  The pro forma adjustments give effect to the refinancing of our senior secured credit facility, the incurrence of $750 million of unsecured debt, the repayment of some of Royal Group’s existing indebtedness, and the acquisition of all the outstanding common stock of Royal Group.

(a)          Represents reclassifications necessary to conform the historical Royal Group financial statement presentation to the Georgia Gulf financial statement presentation. The reclassifications do not impact stockholders’ equity.

9




(b)         Represents an adjustment for the difference in accounting for investments in joint ventures under Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Under Canadian GAAP, joint ventures are accounted for in the financial statements of the investor under the proportionate consolidation method. Under U.S. GAAP, these types of joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The adjustments presented herein reflect the removal of the amounts related to the proportionately consolidated joint ventures from their historically reported financial statement line items and reclassifies such amounts to “Investment in joint ventures” as follows:

 

 

(In Thousands)

 

Receivables, net

$

9,621

 

 

 

The adjustments do not impact stockholders’ equity.

(c)   Represents an adjustment of $8.0 million for the difference in accounting for substantially enacted changes in tax laws and rates under Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Canadian GAAP permits the recognition of the impact of substantively enacted changes in tax laws and rates on the measurement of future income tax assets and liabilities in the period those tax laws and rates have been substantively enacted. U.S. GAAP does not recognize the concept of substantively enacted tax laws and rates and only allows recognition of the impact of a tax rate reduction on future income tax assets and liabilities once it is enacted into law.

(d)   Represents the preliminary adjustments to record certain of Royal Group’s historical assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values. These adjustments include:

·  Write-up of inventories by $19.7 million to adjust to estimated fair value.

·  Write-up of tangible assets by $97.1 million to adjust to estimated fair value.

·  Write-up of identifiable intangible assets of $89.7 million consisting of $71.8 million for definite lived intangible assets relating to customer relationships and $17.9 million of indefinite lived intangible assets relating to trade names.

·  Recording a liability of $8.1 million for payments under certain Royal Group executive employment contracts triggered upon a change in control of Royal Group.

(e)   Represents prepaid fees and expenses by Georgia Gulf of $3.7 million related to the acquisition of Royal Group, which are being reclassified to goodwill as part of the purchase price allocation.

(f)    Represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of $195.4 million offset by the reversal of Royal Group’s historical goodwill of $150.0 million for a net pro forma adjustment to goodwill of $45.4 million.

(g)   Represents adjustments to increase deferred financing costs by $33.4 million for new deferred financing costs from these transactions offset by the write-off of historical deferred financing costs of $4.1 million of both Georgia Gulf and Royal Group related to the debt of each company which is being repaid in connection with the Transactions. This results in a net pro forma adjustment of $29.3 million.

Increase in cash

 

 

$

(i)    This adjustment is to record the incremental deferred taxes required under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, for the difference between the revised book basis, i.e., fair value, of the assets acquired other than goodwill, and liabilities assumed and the carryover tax basis of those assets and liabilities. Because certain of the identifiable intangible assets recognized in the purchase price allocation had no tax basis at the time of the transaction, a deferred tax liability has been recognized for the difference in book and tax basis of the identifiable intangible assets. The pro forma adjustment to deferred income taxes was based on the expected statutory tax rate of 38.5% for the combined company.

(j)    Reflects the elimination of the historical Royal Group stockholders’ equity as a result of the purchase by Georgia Gulf offset partially by the write-off of $3.1 million ($2.0 million, net of tax) of deferred financing costs related to Georgia Gulf’s existing senior credit facility which will be repaid in connection with the Transactions.

(k)   Represents reclassifications necessary to conform the historical Royal Group financial statement presentation to the Georgia Gulf financial statement presentation. The reclassifications do not impact income (loss) from continuing operations.

(l)    Represents an adjustment for the difference in accounting for investments in joint ventures under Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Under Canadian GAAP, joint ventures are accounted for in the financial statements of the investor under the proportionate consolidation method. Under U.S. GAAP, these types of joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The adjustments presented herein reflect the removal of the amounts related to the proportionately consolidated joint

·  An adjustment to reduce expense by $7.3 million to conform the historical accounting policies for stock compensation expense of Royal Group and Georgia Gulf for the period presented.

(o)   The adjustment is to record (1) the estimated interest expense of $127.3 million on newly issued debt, (2) the amortization of debt issuance costs of $4.7 million associated with the newly issued debt as detailed below, (3) the elimination of interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs of $30.6 million related to historical debt of Royal Group and Georgia Gulf that will be repaid in connection with the acquisition as discussed in (h) above and (4) the write off of $3.1 million of deferred debt issuance costs of Georgia Gulf.

The assumed weighted average interest rate on the newly issued debt is 8.1% as of June 30, 2006. Pursuant to the proposed terms of the senior secured credit facility, the anticipated interest rates are LIBOR + 2%. For each 0.125% increase or decrease in the assumed rates with respect to the term loan, our annual interest expense would increase or decrease by $1.0 million.
