NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures computed in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows (or equivalent statements); or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented and discussed because management believes they enhance understanding by investors and lenders of the Companys financial performance. As a complement to financial measures provided in accordance with GAAP, management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assist investors and lenders who follow the practice of some investment analysts who adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude items that may obscure underlying performance outlook and trends and distort comparability. In addition, management believes that a presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA enhances overall understanding of our performance by providing a level of disclosure that helps investors understand how management plans, measures and evaluates our financial performance and allocates capital. Since EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures computed in accordance with GAAP, they are not intended to be presented herein as substitutes to operating income or net income as indicators of the Companys financial performance.
We calculate EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and we calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted to remove or add back certain items, including the impact of butadiene price changes. These items are identified below in the reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies; therefore, they may not be comparable to other companies. In addition, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA included herein differs from our definition of Adjusted EBITDA that we have historically presented in our public filings with the SEC.
The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the periods specified below.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been developed by applying pro forma adjustments to our historical audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give pro forma effect to the consummation of the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2011, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives pro forma effect to the consummation of the Transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2012. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data for the last 12 months ended September 30, 2012 have been derived by adding the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data from our pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements for calendar 2011 to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data from our pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and then subtracting the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data from our pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data is presented for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data does not purport to represent what our results of operations or financial condition would have been had the Transactions actually occurred on the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project our results of operations or financial condition for any future period or as of any future date.
The Merger will be accounted for using purchase accounting. We have not allocated the excess purchase price in conjunction with the purchase price allocation process in connection with the Transactions. The final purchase price allocation is dependent on, among other things, the finalization of asset and liability valuations. As of the date of this offering memorandum, we have not completed the valuation studies necessary to finalize the estimates of the fair values of the assets we have acquired and liabilities we have assumed and the related allocation of purchase price. We have not allocated the total estimated purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. A determination of these fair values will reflect our consideration of a final valuation prepared by third-party appraisers. This final valuation will be based on the actual net tangible and identifiable intangible assets that existed as of the closing date of the Merger.
Any adjustment could result in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, including a change to goodwill and a change to the amortization of tangible and identifiable intangible assets. In addition, the actual adjustments to our consolidated financial statements upon the closing of the Transactions will depend on a number of factors, including additional information available and our net assets on the closing date of the Transactions. Therefore, the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and the differences may be material.

|
(1) | Our new senior secured asset-based revolving facility (the New ABL Facility) will provide for aggregate borrowings of up to $250.0 million, subject to availability under a borrowing base. As of September 30, 2012, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions, our availability under our New ABL Facility would have been approximately $250.0 million (subject to a borrowing base) and we would have had no letters of credit outstanding on September 30, 2012. |
(2) | Represents approximately $454.6 million to be invested by the Sponsors. This does not include any management investment or rollover of equity which may occur. The amount to be invested by management has not yet been determined but it is not expected to be in excess of 1%. The amount of the cash equity to be contributed by the Sponsors is expected to be adjusted based upon the amount invested by management. |
(3) | Represents the principal amount of the new notes and excludes any offering discount. |
(4) | The holders of outstanding shares of common stock will receive $45.00 in cash per share in connection with the Transactions. The merger consideration amount has not been reduced for management participation and rollover equity which may occur, as discussed in note (2). |
(5) | Includes $364.6 million for the tender and retirement of the Existing Notes (including approximately $14.6 million of accrued and unpaid interest) for which the Offer has been commenced. The pro forma retirement amount is based on the assumption that all of the Existing Notes are tendered in the Offer prior to the consent payment date. As of November 29, 2012, TPCGLLC had received valid tenders and related consents in respect of approximately $349.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes, representing 99.97% of the outstanding Existing Notes. On November 29, 2012, TPCGLLC announced that it intends to call for redemption the remaining Existing Notes not purchased in the Offer at a redemption price of 103% plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with such redemption being conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger. |
(6) | Includes a tender premium of $40.0 million related to the Existing Notes and $30.7 million of estimated financing fees. This also includes our estimates of other fees and expenses expected to be paid in connection with the Transactions. |
(b) | The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements reflect an unallocated purchase price relating to the Merger. An appraisal will be performed to assist management in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the fair value of property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets. The unallocated purchase price adjustment is provided in the table below (in thousands): |

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
(a) | The Merger will be accounted for using purchase accounting. As of the date of this offering memorandum, we have not completed the valuation studies necessary to finalize the estimates of the fair values of the assets we have acquired and liabilities we have assumed and the related allocation of purchase price. We have not allocated the total estimated purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. A determination of these fair values will reflect our consideration of a final valuation prepared by third-party appraisers. This final valuation will be based on the actual net tangible and identifiable assets that existed as of the closing date of the Merger. Any adjustment could result in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, including a change to goodwill and a change to the amortization of tangible and identifiable intangible assets. Therefore, the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and the differences may be material. |
(b) | Represents adjustments to our pro forma interest expense resulting from our new capital structure. Pro forma interest expense includes interest on the new notes at an assumed rate of approximately 9%. A 0.125% change in the weighted average interest rate on our total pro forma indebtedness would change our pro forma annual cash interest expenses by approximately $820,000. Also represents amortization of deferred financing fees on our Existing Notes and the New ABL Facility. |
(c) | Represents the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments calculated at a 35% marginal income tax rate. |
