(Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) Commission File No. 1-11107 Utah 87-0401551 (State or other jurisdiction of (IRS Employer Identification incorporation) Number) 2200 West Parkway Boulevard Salt Lake City, Utah 84119-2099 (Address of principal executive offices) (Zip code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (801) 817-1776 Item 2. Disposition of Assets On December 21, 2001, Franklin Covey Co. (the "Company") sold Premier Agendas, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary located in Bellingham, Washington, and Premier School Agendas Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary organized in Ontario, Canada, (collectively, "Premier") to School Specialty, Inc., a Wisconsin based corporation. Premier provided productivity and leadership solutions to the educational industry. The sales price was $152.5 million in cash plus the retention of approximately $13.0 million of Premier's working capital. Approximately $8.0 million of this amount will be received in the form of a promissory note from the purchaser, due and payable in June 2002. The Company will recognize a significant gain from the sale of Premier during its second quarter of fiscal 2002. Under the terms of its existing credit facilities, the Company used approximately $92.3 million of the proceeds to pay its term loan and revolving credit line in full. In connection with this prepayment, the Company was also required to settle to settle an outstanding interest rate swap agreement it had entered into with respect to a portion of these debt facilities. The Company also agreed to not compete with School Specialty in marketing and selling student planners directly to schools and school districts subsequent to the closing. Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits (b) Unaudited Condensed Pro Forma Financial Statements The intent of the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements is to present the Company's financial position and results of operations on a stand alone basis as of and for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001, reflecting the consummation of the sale of Premier and the retirement of the Company's existing credit facilities (collectively, the "Transactions"). The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements are based upon the historical financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of August 31, 2001 assumes that the Transactions were completed as of that date and reflects the pro forma adjustments to give effect to the Transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001 assumes that the Transactions were effective September 1, 2000 (the first day of the most recently completed fiscal year) and reflects the pro forma adjustments to give effect to the Transactions. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments necessary to present fairly such unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements have been made based on the proposed terms and structure of the Transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements are for illustrative purposes only. Such information does not purport to be indicative of actual results which would have occurred had the Transactions been effected on the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of actual or future operating results or financial position that may occur upon the closing of the Transactions.
