Exhibit 99.2
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
On January 29, 2013, ConAgra Foods, Inc. (the “Company” or “ConAgra”) acquired Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. (“Ralcorp”), which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 26, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”) among Ralcorp, ConAgra Foods, and Phoenix Acquisition Sub Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ConAgra Foods, the Company agreed to acquire Ralcorp for $90.00 in cash per share of Ralcorp common stock. The closing of the transaction followed the approval of the acquisition by Ralcorp’s shareholders on January 29, 2013, and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals. The total amount of consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was approximately $5.07 billion ($4.75 billion, net of cash acquired) plus assumed liabilities. The Company funded the acquisition consideration with existing cash on hand, borrowings under a new $1.5 billion senior unsecured Term Loan Facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and a lender JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as syndication agent and a lender and the other financial institutions party thereto (the “Term Loan Facility”), and net proceeds from the issuance of new senior notes and common stock. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial information of ConAgra and Ralcorp and has been prepared to reflect the Acquisition and related financing transactions.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is provided for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of operating results that would have been achieved had the Acquisition been completed as of May 28, 2012 and does not intend to project the future financial results of ConAgra after the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations does not reflect the cost of any integration activities or benefits from the Acquisition and synergies that may be derived.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended May 26, 2013 combines the statement of operations of ConAgra for the fiscal year ended May 26, 2013 with the monthly unaudited statements of operations of Ralcorp for the year then ended.
