Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On January 31, 2025, (the “Closing Date”), CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (the “Company” or “CommScope”) completed the previously announced sale of its Outdoor Wireless Networks business segment (the “OWN Business”) as well as the Distributed Antenna Systems business unit of its Networking, Intelligent Cellular & Security Solutions segment (the “DAS Business”) to Amphenol Corporation (“Amphenol”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of July 18, 2024. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Amphenol acquired the OWN Business and the DAS Business on a cash-free, debt-free basis, in exchange for approximately $2.1 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments.

The proceeds from the sale of the OWN Business and the DAS Business will be used to pay fees and expenses associated with the transactions and to repay all outstanding amounts under the Company’s asset-backed revolving credit facility, to repay in part the Company’s 4.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and to repay in full the Company’s 6.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (collectively, the “Debt Repayment”). In connection with the repayment of all outstanding amounts under the Company's asset-backed revolving credit facility, the committed amount thereunder will be reduced to $750.0 million, subject to borrowing base limitations. Following the consummation of the Debt Repayment, we expect that the conditions precedent will be met for a 25 basis point reduction in the applicable margin on the Company’s Senior Secured Term Loan.

A description of the Purchase Agreement was set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2024 (the “Prior 8-K”), but such description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Prior 8-K.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of CommScope reflecting the disposition of the OWN Business and the DAS Business pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference:

On January 31, 2025, (the “Closing Date”), CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (“CommScope”, the “Company”) completed the sale of its Outdoor Wireless Networks (“OWN”) segment and Distributed Antenna Systems (“DAS”) business unit of its Networking, Intelligent Cellular & Security Solutions segment (collectively, the “Business”) (the “Disposal”), to Amphenol Corporation (“Amphenol”, the “Buyer”). The OWN segment provides wireless infrastructure for mobile networks, including macro and small cell site solutions. The DAS business unit provides solutions for cellular infrastructure inside venues, campuses and enterprises. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, CommScope sold the Business to Amphenol in exchange for $2.1 billion in cash, on a cash-free, debt-free basis.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of CommScope, which were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared for illustrative and informational purposes only and are not intended to represent what CommScope’s results of operations or financial position would have been had the Disposal occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should not be considered indicative of CommScope’s future results of operations or financial position. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein due to a variety of factors.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, have been derived from the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CommScope, included in CommScope’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 7, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 have been derived from the historical audited consolidated financial statements of CommScope, included in CommScope’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with CommScope’s historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 reflect pro forma results of CommScope’s operations as if the Disposal had occurred on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, gives effect to the Disposal as if it had occurred on that date. The adjustments in the “Other Separation Adjustments” column in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet give effect to the Other Separation Adjustments as if they occurred as of January 1, 2023, and September 30, 2024, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2024, the Disposal met the criteria under ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements, for discontinued operations, and the Company started presenting the Disposal as a discontinued operation in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024. The Company believes that the adjustments included within the “Discontinued Operations of the Business” column of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the guidance for discontinued operations under GAAP. CommScope’s current estimates on a discontinued operations basis are subject to change as the Company finalizes discontinued operations accounting to be reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Article 11 of Regulation S-X requires that pro forma financial information include the following pro forma adjustments to the historical financial statements of the registrant as follows:

Transaction Accounting Adjustments:
o
Adjustments that reflect only the application of required accounting to the acquisition, disposition, or other transaction.
Autonomous Entity Adjustments:
o
Adjustments that are necessary to reflect the operations and financial position of the registrant as an autonomous entity when the registrant was previously part of another entity.

In addition, Regulation S-X permits registrants to reflect adjustments that depict synergies or dis-synergies of the acquisitions and dispositions for which pro forma effect is being given in the disclosures as management adjustments.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflect the following transactions in conjunction with the Disposal:

Discontinued Operations of the Business:
o
The historical financial results directly attributable to the OWN segment and DAS business unit in accordance with ASC 205
Other Separation Adjustments:

 

o
The Debt Repayment;
o
Estimated unaccrued one-time transaction costs;
o
Contractual arrangements including a transition services agreement (“TSA Agreement” or the “TSA”) for a time period not expected to exceed 36 months.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain any autonomous entity adjustments or potential synergies or dis-synergies that may occur in connection with the Disposal.

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements:

The TSA has an initial term of up to 36 months for certain services and provides for options to extend services for up to two renewal terms of six months each. For services provided, a pro forma adjustment recognizing the related monthly fixed fee income was included in transition services agreement income, net of $3.1 and $35.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
