ITEM 2.01             COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

 

On December 31, 2007, Rockwood Specialties Group, Inc. completed the sale of its electronics businesses, excluding its wafer reclaim business, to OM Group, Inc. (“OMG”) for $315.0 million, subject to a potential post-closing adjustment.  The transaction included the exercise of a put option to sell its French ultra-pure chemicals business. The electronics businesses sold included the ultra-pure chemicals business and printed circuit board business, which supplied chemicals used in the manufacture of semiconductors and printed circuit boards, and the photomasks business, which supplied photo-imaging masks used in the semiconductor and integrated circuit industries. The electronics businesses, including the wafer reclaim business, represented one of our reportable segments.  A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and a copy of the press release announcing completion of the sale of the electronics businesses, excluding the wafer reclaim business, is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

 

ITEM 9.01             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

ROCKWOOD HOLDINGS, INC. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet and statements of operations are presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the sale by Rockwood Specialties Group, Inc., our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, of its electronics businesses, excluding its wafer reclaim business, to OMG.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information presented for the balance sheet as of September 30, 2007 and for the statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, is based upon the historical results of operations, adjusted to reflect the pro forma effect as if the sale of the electronics businesses, excluding the wafer reclaim business, had occurred on January 1, 2006 with respect to the statements of operations and on September 30, 2007 with respect to the balance sheet. The historical consolidated financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in Rockwood Holdings, Inc.’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included in Rockwood Holdings, Inc.’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2007.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is for illustrative purposes only. Such information does not purport to be indicative of the financial condition and the results of operations that would have been achieved had the sale of the electronics businesses, excluding the wafer reclaim business, for which Rockwood Holdings, Inc. is giving pro forma effect actually occurred on the dates referred to above or the financial condition and the results of operations that may be expected in the future. Such information has been prepared based upon currently available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Such currently available information and assumptions may prove to be inaccurate over time.

 

For the purposes of the pro forma financial information, we have elected to assume that we will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include potential selective acquisitions, other investment opportunities and debt repayments.  As a result, and in accordance with SEC guidance, we have assumed no interest income on these cash proceeds.  However, we do expect to generate additional earnings through the use of these cash proceeds.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet

 

1.  Pro Forma Assumptions and Adjustments

 

We have elected to assume that we will use the estimated net proceeds of $302.5 million for general corporate purposes, which may include potential selective acquisitions, other investment opportunities and debt repayments.  As a result, and in accordance with SEC guidance, we have assumed no interest income on these cash proceeds.  However, we do expect to generate additional earnings through the use of these cash proceeds.

 

(a) – Represents proceeds of $315.0 million plus an estimated working capital adjustment of $1.0 million, less estimated fees and expenses of $9.8 million associated with the sale and taxes of $3.7 million.

 

(b) – This represents the net gain on the sale, including $3.7 million of tax charges and estimated fees and expenses of $9.8 million associated with the sale.  In addition, an estimated working capital adjustment of $1.0 million is included in our estimated gross proceeds, which is subject to a potential post-closing adjustment. The effects of the gain were not reflected, however, in the pro forma statements of operations as the adjustments are non-recurring in nature. We do not expect the transaction to have any U.S. federal tax effect as a result of net operating losses and valuation allowances.

1.  Pro Forma Assumptions and Adjustments

 

We have elected to assume that we will use the estimated net proceeds of $302.5 million for general corporate purposes, which may include potential selective acquisitions, other investment opportunities and debt repayments.  As a result, and in accordance with SEC guidance, we have assumed no interest income on these cash proceeds.   However, we do expect to generate additional earnings through the use of these cash proceeds.

 

(a) – Represents proceeds of $315.0 million plus an estimated working capital adjustment of $1.0 million, less estimated fees and expenses of $9.8 million associated with the sale and taxes of $3.7 million.

 

(b) – This represents the net gain on the sale, including $3.7 million of tax charges and estimated fees and expenses of $9.8 million associated with the sale.  In addition, an estimated working capital adjustment of $1.0 million is included in our estimated gross proceeds, which is subject to a potential post-closing adjustment. The effects of the gain were not reflected, however, in the pro forma statements of operations as the adjustments are non-recurring in nature.  We do not expect the transaction to have any U.S. federal tax effect as a result of net operating losses and valuation allowances.
