2 ACQUISITIONS

     On October 14, 2011, TAC Holdings, LLC (the "Buyer") and Tredegar Film Products Corporation, which are indirect and direct, respectively, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tredegar, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Gaucho Holdings, B.V. (the "Seller") an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Vision Capital Partners VII LP ("Vision Capital"). On October 24, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer acquired from the Seller 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Terphane.

     Terphane is headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil and operates manufacturing facilities in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil and Bloomfield, New York. It is a market leading producer of thin polyester films in Latin America with a growing presence in strategic niches in the U.S. Polyester films have specialized properties, such as heat resistance and barrier protection, that make them uniquely suited for the fast-growing flexible packaging market. We expect that the acquisition of Terphane will allow us to extend our product offerings into adjacent specialty films markets and to expand in Latin America.

     After certain post-closing adjustments (primarily related to working capital transferred), the total purchase price (net of cash acquired) was $181.0 million. The purchase price was funded using available cash (net of cash received) of approximately $56 million and financing of $125 million secured from Tredegar's existing $300 million revolving credit facility. Based upon management's preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired (net of cash acquired) and liabilities assumed, the preliminary estimated purchase price allocation is as follows:

     We continue to assess the allocation of taxable income between the subsidiaries of Terphane, which could impact the valuation and allocation of intangible assets provided above, and to negotiate adjustments to the purchase price under the Purchase Agreement. If information becomes available which would indicate adjustments are required to the purchase price or the purchase price allocation prior to the end of the measurement period for finalizing the purchase price allocation, such adjustments will be included in the purchase price allocation retrospectively.

     The financial position and results of operations for Terphane have been consolidated with Tredegar subsequent to October 24, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the consolidated results of operations included sales of $29.2 million and net income of $2.0 million related to Terphane.

     The following unaudited supplemental pro forma data presents our consolidated revenues and earnings as if the acquisition of Terphane had been consummated on January 1, 2010. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of our consolidated revenues and earnings if the acquisition and related borrowing had been consummated on January 1, 2010. Supplemental unaudited pro forma results for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

The above supplemental unaudited pro forma amounts reflect the application of the following adjustments in order to present the consolidated results as if the acquisition and related borrowing had occurred on January 1, 2010:

  • Adjustment for additional depreciation and amortization expense associated with the adjustments to property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets associated with purchase accounting;
  • Additional interest expense and financing fees associated with borrowing arrangements used to fund the acquisition of Terphane and the elimination of historical interest expense associated with historical borrowings of Terphane that were not assumed by Tredegar;
  • Adjustments to eliminate transactions-related expenses associated with the October 2011 purchase of Terphane by Tredegar and the September 2010 purchase of Terphane by Vision Capital;
  • Adjustments related to the elimination of foreign currency remeasurement gains associated with long-term borrowings that were not assumed by Tredegar; and
  • Adjustments for the estimated net income tax benefit associated with the previously described adjustments.

     On February 3, 2010, we purchased the assets of Bright View Technologies Corporation ("Bright View") for $5.5 million. Bright View is a developer and producer of high-value microstructure-based optical films for the LED (light emitting diode) and fluorescent lighting markets. The primary identifiable intangible assets purchased in the transaction were patented and unpatented technology, which are being amortized over a weighted average period of 12 years.
