NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.	Description of the Transaction and Basis of Presentation

On September 13, 2022, Clio Subsidiary, LLC (“Clio Subsidiary”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Consolidated Communications Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), completed the sale of its five limited wireless partnership interests (the “Partnership Interests”) for aggregate cash proceeds of $490 million. Our investment in the Partnership Interests consisted of ownership in: 2.34% of GTE Mobilnet of South Texas Limited Partnership (the “Mobilnet South Partnership”), 20.51% of GTE Mobilnet of Texas RSA #17 Limited Partnership (“RSA #17”), 3.60% of Pittsburgh SMSA Limited Partnership (“Pittsburgh SMSA”), 16.67% of Pennsylvania RSA No. 6(I) Limited Partnership (“RSA 6(I)”) and 23.67% of Pennsylvania RSA No. 6(II) Limited Partnership (“RSA 6(II)”). Our investments in the Mobilnet South Partnership and Pittsburgh SMSA were accounted for at their initial cost. Distributions received from these investments were recorded as investment income in non-operating income (expense). RSA #17, RSA 6(I) and RSA 6(II) were accounted for using the equity method. Income for these partnerships was recognized as investment income in non-operating income (expense) on our proportionate share of earnings and cash distributions were recorded as a reduction in our investment.

The Company’s historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information to reflect all adjustments that are: (i) directly attributable to the sale of the Partnership Interests; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the Company’s consolidated results following the sale of the Partnership Interests.

 

2.	Pro Forma Adjustments

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the following adjustments:

 

(a)

Pro forma adjustments to cash represent the aggregate cash proceeds received from the sale of the Partnership Interests of $490.0 million, net of estimated state income taxes of $13.0 million and estimated selling costs of $7.0 million associated with the sale and assumed to be paid at the time of closing.

 

(b)

The pro forma adjustment to investments represents the elimination of the carrying value of the Partnership Interests as of June 30, 2022.

 

(c)

The pro forma adjustment represents the increase in the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities resulting from the closing of the sale of the Partnership Interests. The Company expects to utilize net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for federal income tax purposes to offset the taxable gain from the sale of the Partnership Interests, which will reduce the related deferred tax assets.

 

(d)

This adjustment represents the gain on sale of the Partnership Interests, net of selling costs and the cumulative effect of estimated income tax expense. The gain on the sale of the Partnership Interests is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations as it is not expected to have a continuing impact on the Company’s operating results.

 

(e)

The pro forma adjustment reflects the elimination of historical investment income for the Partnership Interests recognized during the period.

 

(f)

The pro forma adjustment represents the estimated income tax expense related to the exclusion of the investment income for the Partnership Interests for the period.
