SYNIVERSE HOLDINGS, INC. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On June 30, 2012, Syniverse Holdings, Inc. (“Syniverse”, “the Company,” “us,” or “we”) entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire all of the shares and preferred equity certificates (whether convertible or not) in WP Roaming III S.á r.l., a Luxembourg limited liability company (“MACH”), exclusive of Evenex ApS and its wholly-owned subsidiary Evenex AS from WP Roaming S.á r.l. (“Seller”) (the “Proposed Transaction”) . Syniverse notified the European Commission (the “Commission”) of such Proposed Transaction on November 16, 2012. The Commission announced on December 20, 2012 that it had opened an in-depth investigation into the Proposed Transaction under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 of 20 January 2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings.

On May 29, 2013, the Commission granted approval of the Proposed Transaction, conditioned upon the Company’s commitment to divest certain assets supporting MACH’s data clearing and near real-time roaming data exchange (“NRTRDE”) business in the European Economic Area, which includes European Union countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (the “EEA”), including technology platforms, necessary employees, customer contracts and the MACH brand (the “Divestment Business”).

On June 3, 2013, Interfact S.à r.l., a Luxembourg limited liability company and the MACH group company being the immediate shareholder of the Divestment Business, signed a definitive agreement (the “Divestment Agreement”) to sell the Divestment Business to Starhome, B.V., a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands, upon the completion of the Company’s acquisition of MACH. The sale of such portions of MACH’s business pursuant to the Divestment Agreement was further contingent upon approval of Starhome as the buyer by the Commission and other applicable jurisdictions as well as completion of the carve-out of the Divestment Business from the retained MACH business.

On June 28, 2013, the Commission approved Starhome as the Purchaser of the Divestment Business and the Divestment Agreement. All other necessary approvals by the relevant authorities of other applicable jurisdictions were also obtained by such date.

On June 28, 2013 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of all of the shares and preferred equity certificates (whether convertible or not) of MACH in accordance with the terms of the Agreement for approximately $701.4 million (including the portion of the purchase price applied to refinance MACH’s outstanding indebtedness) (the “Acquisition”).

Syniverse Magellan Finance, LLC (the “Finance Sub”), formerly a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a delayed draw credit agreement, dated as of February 4, 2013, as amended on May 28, 2013 (the “Escrow Credit Agreement”), with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and the other financial institutions and lenders from time to time party thereto, providing for a new senior credit facility consisting of a $700.0 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Facility”).

On May 28, 2013, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the lenders funded the Delayed Draw Facility into an escrow account (the “Escrow Term Loans”) and the Company pre-funded the interest, upfront fees and ticking fees of $7.2 million, $3.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively (together with the Escrow Term Loans, the “Escrowed Funds”). The Escrowed Funds were released to Finance Sub on June 28, 2013 (the “Release”) to fund the Acquisition and related transaction costs. In addition to the Escrowed Funds, we paid ticking fees of $1.0 million during the second quarter of 2013. These fees were paid to Barclays Bank PLC as administrative agent to compensate for the time lag between the commitment allocation and actual funding for the Delayed Draw Facility.

Following the Release, Finance Sub merged with and into the Company with the Company as the survivor to such merger (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed the obligations of Finance Sub under the Escrow Credit Agreement (the “Debt Assumption”).

Following the Debt Assumption, on June 28, 2013 the Company borrowed $700.0 million of Tranche B Term Loans, pursuant to an incremental amendment to its existing credit agreement, dated as of April 23, 2012 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The proceeds of the Tranche B Term Loans were used to refinance the Escrow Term Loans in full. The Delayed Draw Facility, Escrow Term Loans, Debt Assumption, and Tranche B Term Loans collectively are referred to as the “Financing”. The Tranche B Term Loans will mature at the earliest of (i) April 23, 2019, (ii) the date of termination in whole of the commitments under the Term Loan Facilities and (iii) the date the loans under the Term Loan Facilities are declared due and payable in connection with an event of default under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2013, we had a carrying amount of $700.0 million, excluding





original issue discount, of outstanding indebtedness under the Tranche B Term Loans. At June 30, 2013, the applicable interest rate was 4.00% on the Tranche B Term Loans based on the Eurodollar option.

Like Syniverse, MACH is a leading global provider of mobile interoperability services to mobile carriers and enterprises. MACH’s strong presence in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia-Pacific regions and growing client base in key emerging markets is complementary to Syniverse’s strength in North America. For more than 20 years, MACH has served in a similar capacity to Syniverse as a third-party intermediary and partner to mobile operators and enterprises. MACH’s service offerings include a number of products and services that are similar or complementary to those of Syniverse in roaming, network and messaging. Headquartered and incorporated in Luxembourg, MACH has a global geographic reach, with offices in 12 countries, employs approximately 750 people and serves a global customer base of approximately 650 wireless operators and approximately 400 enterprise customers.

The acquisition of MACH is expected to further Syniverse’s long-term strategic goal of providing highly reliable services to its customers on a global scale and growing its rest-of-world customer base. Among other things, the acquisition of MACH is expected to enable Syniverse to (i) broaden its geographic reach in international markets, including key developed and high-growth developing markets throughout EMEA and Asia Pacific, (ii) add key service offerings to Syniverse’s product portfolio and bring new global relationships with top mobile operators who have significant scale, reach and network capacity to Syniverse’s customer base, (iii) cross-sell services to a broader and more global customer base, (iv) realize cost synergies through network consolidation and sales efficiencies and (v) create new products and services to meet the rapidly changing needs of customers.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 assumes that the Acquisition and Financing took place on March 31, 2013, combines Syniverse’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet with MACH’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, and reflects the allocation of the purchase price to the MACH identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013 assumes that the Acquisition and Financing took place on January 1, 2012, the first day of Syniverse’s fiscal year 2012. In the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, Syniverse’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 has been combined with MACH’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

In the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, Syniverse’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 has been combined with MACH’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The historical consolidated financial information of MACH has been presented in Euro. In the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Euro amounts have been translated into U.S. dollars using the following exchange rates:
 
 
USD/Euro
March 31, 2013

Average Rate

January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013
Average Rate
1.3206


The historical consolidated financial information of Syniverse and MACH has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Acquisition and Financing, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes thereto. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was based on and should be read in conjunction with the:

Separate historical audited consolidated financial statements of Syniverse as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the related notes included in Syniverse’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 6, 2013;





Separate historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Syniverse as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and the related notes included in Syniverse’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on May 5, 2013;
Separate historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Syniverse as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and the related notes included in Syniverse’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013 filed with the SEC on August 14, 2013;
Separate historical audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of MACH as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A; and
Separate historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of MACH as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

We have made certain reclassifications to the financial information included in the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Syniverse for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Syniverse for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Effective June 30, 2013, we reclassified Acquisition expenses out of General and administrative costs and expenses into a single line item on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Acquisition expenses consist primarily of professional services costs, such as legal, tax, audit and transaction advisory costs.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the net assets acquired was based on a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period. As the Acquisition closed two days prior to the balance sheet date, the Company is continuing to evaluate (i) certain purchase price adjustments under the purchase agreement; (ii) valuation of intangible assets, including further assessment of customer relationships for attrition statistics, historical attrition patterns and the impact of the Acquisition on such statistics; (iii) valuation of accounts receivable; (iv) valuation of redeemable noncontrolling interest; (v) valuation of equity investment; (vi) income taxes, including uncertain tax positions; and (vii) pre-Acquisition contingencies, including legal and customer claims and disputes. Syniverse will finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but in no event later than one year following the Acquisition Date.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined Company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined Company. There were no material transactions between Syniverse and MACH during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements that needed to be eliminated.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined Company may achieve as a result of the Acquisition or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and potential revenue enhancements or the costs to combine the operations of Syniverse and MACH.

Item (b): Reflects the estimated preliminary purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2013 resulting from the Acquisition. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of MACH’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2013. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets is recorded as goodwill. Syniverse has made a preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price based on the unaudited historical balance sheet of MACH as of March 31, 2013, and used the estimates described in the introduction to these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as follows (in thousands):

(4)
An adjustment of $63.9 million was recorded to increase the recorded values of developed technology which is recorded within capitalized software to its estimated fair value as part of the preliminary valuation. The final purchase price allocation may result in a materially different allocation for developed technology than that presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statement. See Item (c) below.
(5)
An adjustment of $146.6 million was recorded to increase the recorded values of customer relationships which are recorded within identified intangibles, net to its estimated fair value as part of the preliminary valuation. The final purchase price allocation may result in a materially different allocation for customer relationships than that presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statement. See Item (c) below.





(6)
An adjustment of $2.0 million was recorded to increase the recorded values of other identifiable intangible assets which are recorded within identified intangibles, net to its estimated fair value as part of the preliminary valuation. Other identifiable intangibles include a non-solicitation agreement for key employees and favorable real estate leases. See Item (c) below.
(7)
As of the closing date of the Acquisition, Syniverse recorded incremental net deferred tax liabilities of $34.4 million to account for the difference between purchase accounting and the carryover tax basis of those assets and liabilities whose book basis has been adjusted. This included the recording of valuation allowances for net operating losses which are not more likely than not to be utilized by the Company. An additional amount of net income tax payable of $0.9 million was also recorded. We do not expect goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.
(8)
An adjustment of $2.8 million was recorded to increase the recorded value of an equity investment in a non-consolidated subsidiary which is recorded within other assets to its estimated fair value as part of the preliminary valuation. The final purchase price allocation may result in a materially different allocation for the equity investment than that presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statement.
(9)
An adjustment of $0.1 million was recorded to increase the recorded values of accounts payable to fair value.
(10)
An adjustment of $0.4 million was recorded to decrease the recorded values of accrued liabilities to fair value.
(11)
An adjustment of $2.1 million was recorded to decrease the recorded values of deferred revenues to fair value.
(12)
No adjustment has been recorded for redeemable noncontrolling interest as part of the preliminary valuation as a complete appraisal is in process as of the date of filing this current report on Form 8-K/A. The final purchase price allocation may result in a materially different allocation for redeemable noncontrolling interest than that presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statement.

Item (c): Customer relationships were valued using discounted future cash flows and capitalized software was valued using a relief from royalty method under the income approach. Other identifiable intangibles include a non-solicitation agreement for key employees. This asset was valued using a discounted future cash flow method assuming a with and without analysis. The valuations considered historical financial results and expected and historical trends. The future cash flows for the customer relationships were discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital, which was based on an analysis of the cost of capital for guideline companies within the technology industry. We determined useful lives of the intangible assets based on the period over which we expect those assets to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Customer relationships will be amortized over their useful lives using the pattern of consumption method. Developed technology assets will be amortized over their useful lives using the straight-line method. The weighted average amortization period for customer relationships, developed technology and other identifiable intangible assets is 14.7 years, 6.5 years and 3.5 years, respectively, and 12.4 years in total.

Item (d): Reflects adjustment to eliminate MACH’s outstanding notes payable to related parties (the Seller) as of the Acquisition Date which Syniverse acquired, but eliminates in consolidation.

Item (e): Reflects the adjustment to eliminate MACH’s historical stockholder’s equity.

NOTE 3. PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS:

Item (a): This adjustment reflects the incremental amortization expense based on the preliminary estimates of fair value and useful lives of identified, finite-lived intangible assets.

No such expenses were incurred in periods prior to January 1, 2012.

Item (c): This adjustment reflects (1) the estimated interest expense to be incurred under our new Financing; (2) the amortization of debt issuance costs capitalized associated with the newly-issued debt; (3) the elimination of interest expense related to the debt obligations of MACH that were repaid upon consummation of the Acquisition as discussed in the introductory notes to these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements; and (4) the elimination of the amortization of debt issuance costs related to the pre-existing debt of MACH written off as of the Acquisition Date. The interest rate for outstanding borrowings under the Financing was 4.00% as of May 28, 2013. A change in the interest rate of one-eighth of one percent for the new Financing would change our annual interest expense by approximately $0.9 million and our annual income from continuing operations by approximately $0.5 million. Debt issuance costs will be amortized over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
