UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On May 9, 2023, Aviat Networks, Inc. ("Aviat" or the "Company") entered into a Master Sale of Business Agreement (as amended on November 30, 2023, the "Purchase Agreement") with NEC Corporation ("NEC"), to acquire NEC's wireless transport business (the "NEC Transaction"). The Company completed the NEC Transaction on November 30, 2023 (the "Closing Date"). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, consideration due at the closing of the NEC Transaction was comprised of (i) an amount in cash equal to $42.1 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, and (ii) the issuance of $23.4 million in Company common stock. The Company obtained permanent financing to fund the cash portion of the NEC Transaction.
The following tables set forth unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of Aviat and NEC's wireless transport business for (i) the nine months ended March 29, 2024 and (ii) the twelve months ended June 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations give effect to the NEC Transaction as if it had occurred on July 2, 2022.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended March 29, 2024 is derived by combining the Company's unaudited historical financial data from July 1, 2023 through March 29, 2024 (which includes four months of the historical results of operations of NEC's wireless transport business from the Closing Date through March 29, 2024) and five months of the unaudited historical financial data of NEC's wireless transport business from July 1, 2023 through the Closing Date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 is derived by combining the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 and the audited combined carve-out financial statements of NEC's wireless transport business for the twelve months ended March 31, 2023. The condensed pro forma balance sheet is excluded from this Current Report on Form 8-K as the historical balance sheet included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended March 29, 2024 already reflects the consummated transaction.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes estimated transaction accounting and financing adjustments (collectively, the "pro forma adjustments") directly attributable to the NEC Transaction that are expected to have an ongoing impact on the Company. The pro forma adjustments are described in the notes accompanying the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions the Company believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to represent what the results of operations and financial condition would have been had the NEC Transaction occurred as of the dates indicated, nor does it project the results of operations for any future period or the financial condition at any future date.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in connection with (i) Aviat's audited consolidated financial statements, and the related notes thereto, and the risk factors set forth in Aviat's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023, (ii) Aviat's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the related notes thereto, in Aviat's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended March 29, 2024, (iii) the audited combined carve-out abbreviated financial statements and related notes for NEC's wireless transport business for the twelve months ended March 31, 2023, which are included as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 1, 2023 (as amended on February 9, 2024), and (iv) the unaudited combined carve-out financial statements and related notes for NEC's wireless transport business for the six months ended September 30, 2023, which are included as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 30, 2024.
