The unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary, based upon available information and made solely for the purpose of providing these pro forma financial statements. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is provided for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to reflect or be indicative of the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position had the Sale occurred as of the dates presented and should not be taken as a representation of the Company's future consolidated results of operations or financial position. For example, the financial information does not reflect any potential earnings or other impacts from the use of the proceeds from the Sale or cost reductions of previously allocated corporate costs and potential subsequent restructuring charges.
