This Amendment No.1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment No.1”) is being filed to amend the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Platform Specialty Products Corporation (“Platform”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 12, 2015 (the “Original Form 8-K”).

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 21, 2014 by Platform, Platform entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Nalozo S.à.r.l., pursuant to which Platform agreed to acquire Arysta LifeScience Limited for approximately $3.51 billion, subject to customary closing conditions (the “Arysta Acquisition”). There can be no assurance that the proposed Arysta Acquisition will close, or be completed in the time frame, on the terms or in the manner currently anticipated.

Platform voluntarily filed the Original Form 8-K with Platform’s unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet of Platform as of September 30, 2014 and the related unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations of Platform for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, in each case giving effect on a pro forma basis to the Arysta Acquisition, the recent acquisition by Platform of the agrochemicals business, Chemtura AgroSolutions, of Chemtura Corporation (the “CAS Acquisition) and the related financings (the “Pro Forma Financial Information”). For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Pro Forma Financial Information was also giving effect to the acquisition of MacDermid Holdings, LLC completed on October 31, 2013 (the “MacDermid Acquisition”) and the related financings.

The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to amend the Original Form 8-K by filing revised Pro Forma Financial Information reflecting a $600 million increase of the aggregate principal amount of 6.500% senior notes due 2022 denominated in U.S. Dollars being offered in Platform’s previously-announced private offering of senior notes, and a $500 million decrease of the maximum borrowings under Platform’s incremental term loan denominated in U.S. Dollars being sought through the syndication process relating to the financing of a portion of the acquisition consideration and related fees and expenses of the Arysta Acquisition.

A copy of the revised Pro Forma Financial Information is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference in this Item 8.01. Other than as set forth above, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K. This Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the filing date of the Original Form 8-K, does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the original filing date, and does not modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Original Form 8-K, except as stated above.

99.1    Revised unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheets of Platform as of September 30, 2014 and related revised unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations of Platform for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, in each case giving effect on a pro forma basis to the Arysta Acquisition, the CAS Acquisition and the related financings. For the year ended December 31, 2013, such pro forma financial information is also giving effect to the completed MacDermid Acquisition and the related financings.


Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On October 31, 2013, Platform Specialty Products Corporation (“Platform,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) indirectly acquired substantially all of the outstanding equity of MacDermid, Incorporated (“MacDermid”) for approximately $1.8 billion (including the assumption of approximately $754 million of indebtedness, consisting primarily of MacDermid’s first lien credit facility), plus (i) up to $100 million of contingent consideration tied to achieving certain EBITDA and stock trading price performance metrics over a seven year period following the closing of this acquisition and (ii) an interest in certain MacDermid pending litigation (the “MacDermid Acquisition”).

At the closing of the MacDermid Acquisition on October 31, 2013, we paid approximately $923 million in cash and issued approximately $100 million of new equity. The equity issued primarily consisted of shares of common stock of a then wholly-owned subsidiary of Platform that may be exchanged for shares of our common stock at future specified dates beginning one year after the closing. In addition, we acquired the remaining 3% of MacDermid in March 2014, pursuant to the terms of an Exchange Agreement, dated October 25, 2013, between us and the fiduciaries of the MacDermid, Incorporated Profit Sharing and Employee Savings Plan (the “401K Plan”). Most of the 401K Plan participants received shares of our common stock for their interests in MacDermid. We funded the cash portion of the purchase price and related transaction expenses with a combination of available cash on hand and approximately $137 million of proceeds from a warrant exchange offer.

On November 3, 2014, we completed the acquisition of certain legal entities and other assets and liabilities that comprise the Chemtura AgroSolutions business (“CAS”) of Chemtura Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Chemtura”) for approximately $1.04 billion, consisting of $990 million in cash, after certain post-closing working capital and other adjustments, plus 2,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “CAS Shares”) and the assumption of certain liabilities by Platform (the “CAS Acquisition”). We funded the cash portion of the purchase price and related transaction expenses of the CAS Acquisition with a combination of available cash on hand and borrowings under an increase in term loans of approximately $389 million (approximately $259 million of which is denominated in Euros), $60 million under the U.S. Dollar revolving credit facility and €55 million ($69 million based on the September 30, 2014 exchange rate of $1.26 per €1.00) under the multicurrency revolving credit facility pursuant to our credit agreement, as amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).

On October 20, 2014, we entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Arysta Acquisition Agreement”) pursuant to which we agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Arysta LifeScience Limited (“Arysta”) for approximately $3.51 billion, consisting of $2.91 billion of cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments, and $600 million of new Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Arysta Acquisition”). We currently expect to fund the cash portion of the purchase price and related transaction expenses of the Arysta Acquisition through a combination of available cash on hand, which includes, but is not limited to, the net proceeds from our underwritten registered public offering of 16,445,000 shares of our common stock completed on November 17, 2014 at a public offering price of $24.50 per share, raising gross proceeds of approximately $403 million (the “Public Offering”), our previously-announced offering of an aggregate principal amount of $1.52 billion of senior notes (the “Notes”), and $600 million of borrowings under first lien incremental term loans (the “Incremental Term Debt”). The Notes offering is subject to market conditions and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering. To the extent we issue less than $1.52 billion of Notes, we may make borrowings pursuant to a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) entered into on October 20, 2014 with Barclays Bank PLC, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC, Nomura Securities International, Inc., UBS AG, Stamford Branch and UBS Securities LLC (collectively, the “Commitment Parties”) for (i) up to $1.6 billion of first lien incremental term loans (the “Term Facility”) to be incurred under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and (ii) senior unsecured bridge loans (the “Senior Bridge Facility” and together with the Term Facility, the “Facilities” in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million, for the purposes of financing the proposed Arysta Acquisition and the fees and expenses in connection therewith, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. The Commitment Parties’ obligation to provide the Facilities is subject to a number of customary conditions precedent. Furthermore, we are under no obligation to borrow under the Facilities and we anticipate seeking a number of alternative financings for the proposed Arysta Acquisition in lieu of the Facilities, including, but not limited to, equity or debt offerings and other borrowings under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months and twelve months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 give effect to the MacDermid Acquisition, the CAS Acquisition and the Arysta Acquisition as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 gives effect to the CAS Acquisition and the proposed Arysta Acquisition as if they had been consummated on September 30, 2014.

References herein to “Predecessor 2013 Period” refer to the ten-month period from January 1, 2013 through October 31, 2013. References herein to “Successor 2013 Period” refer to the period from April 23, 2013 (inception) through December 31, 2013. References herein to “Predecessor 2013 Nine-Month Period” refer to the period from January 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013. References herein to “Successor 2014 Nine-Month Period” refer to the period from January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014.


The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited combined and consolidated statement of operations of CAS and Arysta, respectively. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 (inclusive of both the Successor 2013 and Predecessor 2013 Periods) were derived from our consolidated statement of operations and the audited combined and consolidated statement of operations of CAS and Arysta, respectively. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014 has been calculated (i) for CAS and Arysta, by adding the unaudited nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the audited year ended December 31, 2013 and subtracting the unaudited nine months ended September 30, 2013 statement of operations, (ii) for Platform, by adding the unaudited Successor 2014 Nine-Month Period to the audited Successor 2013 Period and subtracting the unaudited period from April 23, 2013 (inception) to September 30, 2013, and (iii) for MacDermid, by subtracting the unaudited Predecessor 2013 Nine-Month Period from the audited Predecessor 2013 Period. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations and balance sheet do not reflect our acquisition of Percival S.A., including Percival S.A.’s agrochemical business, Agriphar, completed on October 1, 2014 (the “Agriphar Acquisition”) or the related financing, because the Agriphar Acquisition is not significant as defined by Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented below is not necessarily indicative of future results and should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, “CAS Management’s Discussion of Operations and Cash Flows” and “Arysta Management’s Discussion of Operations and Cash Flows,” CAS’s combined financial statements, Arysta’s consolidated financial statements and the respective notes thereto filed as exhibits to current reports on Form 8-K filed on January 12, 2015.

The Company has not completed the detailed valuations necessary to estimate the fair value of the assets and the liabilities acquired in the CAS Acquisition, the Arysta Acquisition, and the related allocations of purchase price. Additionally, a final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities acquired will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of CAS and Arysta that exist as of the dates of the CAS Acquisition, if and when completed and the Arysta Acquisition. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary and are subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. As the final valuations are performed, increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet amounts and their useful lives will result in adjustments, which may be material, to the balance sheet and/or the statement of operations.


Pro forma adjustments to historical financial information are subject to assumptions described in the notes following the unaudited pro forma financial statements. Management believes that these assumptions and adjustments are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances and are factually supported based on information currently available. The principal adjustments consist of the following:

 

    the completion of the MacDermid Acquisition, the CAS Acquisition, and the Arysta Acquisition for the statements of operations, and the completion of the CAS Acquisition and the Arysta Acquisition for the balance sheet, in each case because the MacDermid Acquisition is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014;

 

    borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement;

 

    the issuance of 25.5 million shares of common stock in the October/November Private Placement;

 

    the issuance of 16.4 million shares of common stock in the Public Offering;

 

    the anticipated financing related to the Arysta Acquisition in the form of the Notes issued in this offering and the Incremental Term Debt, which is backed by the financing available pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter (the “Bridge Financing”);

 

    the amendment to and assumption of MacDermid’s first lien credit facility for the MacDermid Acquisition and the amendment to such facility pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in connection with the CAS Acquisition; and

 

    an adjustment to the results of operations to remove Platform’s recording of a one-time, non-cash expense of approximately $172 million upon the closing of the MacDermid Acquisition, which represents the fair value of the founder preferred dividend rights at that time, as this will not have an ongoing impact on the statement of operations. Future dividends payable in common stock will be recorded in equity.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are for illustrative and informational purposes only and are not intended to represent, or be indicative of, what our financial position or results of operations would have been had the CAS Acquisition or the proposed Arysta Acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information also should not be relied upon as a representation of our future performance.

(1) The historical statement of operations of CAS presents cost of goods sold (excluding depreciation) of $206,821 as an operating expense. For purposes of this pro forma, this amount plus $5,830 of related depreciation is presented as cost of sales to present gross profit for the acquired business.
(2) Historical Arysta amounts presented in US GAAP presentation based upon its IFRS basis financial statements. Adjustments to convert the IFRS basis to US GAAP basis are included in the Arysta adjustments column.
(3) Platform anticipates financing a portion of the cash consideration for the Arysta Acquisition with the net proceeds of this offering and the Incremental Term Debt as reflected in this pro forma balance sheet. Platform also has Bridge Financing available; however, it believes it is unlikely that the Bridge Financing will be drawn upon. If Platform is unavailable to finance a portion of the cash consideration for Arysta as anticipated, the net loss to common shareholders on a pro forma basis may increase by up to approximately $3 million. The amount of loss is dependent on several factors, including the terms of the Bridge Financing and whether alternative sources of equity or debt financing are available.

(2) Historical MacDermid amounts include its audited statement of operations for the period from January 1, 2013 through October 31, 2013 less the unaudited statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
(3) Historical CAS and Arysta amounts include their audited income statement of its operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 plus their unaudited statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 less the unaudited statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
(4) If presented consistently with the historical financial statements of CAS, cost of good sold (excluding depreciation) would be $272,960. However, for purposes of this pro forma, this amount plus $7,735 of related depreciation is presented as cost of sales to present gross profit for the acquired business.
(5) Historical Arysta amounts presented in US GAAP presentation based upon its IFRS basis financial statements. Adjustments to convert the IFRS basis to US GAAP basis are included in the Arysta adjustments column.
(6) Platform anticipates financing a portion of the cash consideration for the Arysta Acquisition with the net proceeds of this offering and the Incremental Term Debt as reflected in this pro forma balance sheet. Platform also has Bridge Financing available; however, it believes it is unlikely that the Bridge Financing will be drawn upon. If Platform is unavailable to finance a portion of the cash consideration for Arysta as anticipated, the net loss to common shareholders on a pro forma basis may increase by up to approximately $5 million. The amount of loss is dependent on several factors, including the terms of the Bridge Financing and whether alternative sources of equity or debt financing are available.
