Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously announced, on February 19, 2024, Capital One Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Capital One” or “the Company”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Capital One, Discover Financial Services, a Delaware corporation (“Discover”) and Vega Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into Discover, with Discover as the surviving entity in the merger (the “Merger”); (b) immediately following the Merger, Discover, as the surviving entity, will merge with and into Capital One, with Capital One as the surviving entity in the second-step merger (the “Second Step Merger” and together with the Merger, the “Mergers”); and (c) immediately following the Second Step Merger, Discover Bank (“Discover Bank”), a Delaware-chartered and wholly owned subsidiary of Discover, will merge with and into Capital One’s wholly owned national bank subsidiary, Capital One National Association (“CONA”), with CONA as the surviving entity in the bank merger (the “CONA Bank Merger,” and collectively with the Merger and the Second Step Merger, the “Transaction”).

In connection with the Transaction, Capital One previously disclosed certain unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes under the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” in Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 14, 2024, including, but not limited to: (i) unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 and (ii) an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 (the information in this section, the “Prior Pro Forma Financial Information”).

This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) is being filed to update the Prior Pro Forma Financial Information in connection with recent developments, including, but not limited to, Discover’s recent announcement of Discover Bank’s entry into a Purchase Agreement with Santiago Holdings, LP, an Ontario limited partnership and an affiliate of each of Carlyle and KKR (“Santiago Holdings”), pursuant to which Discover Bank agreed to sell its private student loan portfolio to Santiago Holdings (the “Discover Student Loan Sale”), with Firstmark Services, a division of Nelnet Inc., assuming responsibility for servicing the portfolio upon the sale.

The consummation of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not conditioned on the consummation of the Discover Student Loan Sale.

To the extent that the information herein differs from or updates information previously disclosed in the Prior Pro Forma Financial Information, such information herein shall supplement and supersede the information previously disclosed.

Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X in order to give effect to the mergers (defined below), the Discover Student Loan Sale (defined below), and the related transaction accounting adjustments (pro forma adjustments) described in the accompanying notes.

On February 19, 2024, Capital One Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Capital One” or “the Company”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “merger agreement”), by and among Capital One, Discover Financial Services, a Delaware corporation (“Discover”) and Vega Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into Discover, with Discover as the surviving entity in the merger (the “merger”); (b) immediately following the merger, Discover, as the surviving entity, will merge with and into Capital One, with Capital One as the surviving entity in the second-step merger (the “second step merger” and together with the merger, the “mergers”); and (c) immediately following the second step merger, Discover Bank (“Discover Bank”), a Delaware-chartered and wholly owned subsidiary of Discover, will merge with and into Capital One’s wholly owned national bank subsidiary, Capital One National Association (“CONA”), with CONA as the surviving entity in the merger (the “CONA Bank Merger”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger (the “effective time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Discover (“Discover common stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time other than certain shares held by Capital One or Discover, will be converted into the right to receive 1.0192 shares (the “exchange ratio”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Capital One (“Capital One common stock”). Holders of Discover common stock will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the second step merger (the “second effective time”), (i) each share of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual preferred stock, Series C, par value $0.01 per share, of Discover (“Discover Series C preferred stock”) and (ii) each share of 6.125% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual preferred stock, Series D, par value $0.01 per share, of Discover (“Discover Series D preferred stock” and collectively with the Discover Series C preferred stock, the “Discover preferred stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the second effective time will be converted into the right to receive one share of an applicable newly created series of preferred stock of Capital One having terms that are not materially less favorable than the Discover Series C preferred stock or Discover Series D preferred stock, as applicable (“new Capital One preferred stock”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, at the effective time, (i) each outstanding Discover restricted stock unit award will be converted into a corresponding award with respect to Capital One common stock, with the number of shares underlying such award adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) each outstanding Discover performance stock unit award will be converted into a cash-based award, with the number of shares underlying such award determined based on the greater of target and actual performance for awards for which more than one year of the performance period has elapsed, and target performance for awards for which one year or less of the performance period has elapsed, with the per share cash amount determined using the product of the Exchange Ratio and the average of the closing sale prices of Capital One common stock for the five trading days ending on the day preceding the closing date of the mergers. Each such converted Capital One award will otherwise continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Discover equity award.

On July 17, 2024, Discover Bank entered into a purchase agreement with Santiago Holdings, LP (“Santiago Holdings”), an Ontario limited partnership and an affiliate of each of Carlyle and KKR, pursuant to which Discover

Bank agreed to sell its private student loan portfolio to Santiago Holdings (the “Discover Student Loan Sale”), with Firstmark Services, a division of Nelnet Inc. assuming responsibility for servicing the portfolio upon the sale. The cash purchase price payable to Discover Bank in the transaction is estimated to be up to approximately $10.8 billion which reflects the principal balance of the private student loan portfolio of approximately $10.1 billion as of June 30, 2024, and an additional premium, plus any outstanding accrued and unpaid interest at closing. The Discover Student Loan Sale is expected to be completed in multiple closings by the end of 2024, subject to waiver or satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The consummation of the mergers, the bank merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are not conditioned on the consummation of the Discover Student Loan Sale.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 combines the historical results of Capital One and Discover, giving effect to the mergers (including the issuance of shares of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock in the mergers) and the Discover Student Loan Sale as if those transactions had occurred on January 1, 2023, the first day of Capital One’s fiscal year 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Capital One and Discover as of March 31, 2024, giving effect to the mergers (including the issuance of shares of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock in the mergers) and the Discover Student Loan Sale as if those transactions had occurred on March 31, 2024.

The historical consolidated financial statements of Capital One and Discover have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are necessary to account for the mergers (including the issuance of shares of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock in the mergers) and the Discover Student Loan Sale, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain reclassifications have also been made to conform the historical financial statement presentation of Discover to that of Capital One. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Capital One believes are reasonable. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from the realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies, or any other business changes or synergies that may result from the mergers or the Discover Student Loan Sale.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with:

 

  •  

the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information;

 

  •  

the separate historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Capital One as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the related notes, included in Capital One’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024;

 

  •  

the separate historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Discover as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the related notes, included in Discover’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024;

 

  •  

the separate historical audited consolidated financial statements of Capital One as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes, included in Capital One’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023; and

 

  •  

the separate historical audited consolidated financial statements of Discover as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes, included in Discover’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Accounting for the Mergers

The mergers are being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with Capital One as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 (“ASC 805”), Business

 

2

Combinations. Under this method of accounting, the aggregate purchase consideration will be allocated to Discover’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of completion of the mergers. The process of valuing the net assets of Discover immediately prior to the mergers, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary. Any differences between the estimated fair value of the purchase consideration and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation and related adjustments reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision until a final determination of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is performed. For more information, see “Note 1—Basis of Presentation”.

Generally, and unless indicated otherwise, financial data included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented in millions of U.S. Dollars and has been prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP and Capital One’s accounting policies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the mergers (including the issuance of shares of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock in the mergers) and the Discover Student Loan Sale had been completed on the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results or financial position of Capital One following the mergers. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. To the extent information was publicly available, such preliminary fair value estimates were corroborated against readily available information, inclusive of fair value marks disclosed on comparable portfolios of financial assets and liabilities. The preliminary pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

As discussed in Note 2, certain reclassifications were made to align Discover’s historical financial statement presentation with that of Capital One. Capital One is currently in the process of evaluating Discover’s accounting policies with the information currently available and has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform Discover’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by Capital One. Therefore, the only changes noted herein are those related to presentation. As a result of this ongoing review and as more information becomes available, additional differences could be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies until finalized upon completion of the mergers.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information relating to the mergers was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with Capital One as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and based on the historical financial statements of Capital One and Discover. Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date, while transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also reflects the removal of the Discover student loans portfolio and related activity consistent with the terms of the Discover Student Loan Sale.

The allocation of the aggregate purchase consideration depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, Capital One has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair market value of Discover’s assets to be acquired or liabilities to be assumed, other than a preliminary estimate for intangible assets and certain financial assets and financial liabilities. Accordingly, apart from the aforementioned, certain Discover assets and liabilities are presented at their respective carrying amounts and should therefore be treated as preliminary. A final determination of the fair value of Discover’s assets and liabilities will be based on Discover’s actual assets and liabilities as of the closing date of the mergers and, therefore, cannot be made prior to the consummation of the mergers. The allocation of the aggregate purchase consideration has been made for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed relating to the mergers could differ materially from the preliminary allocation of aggregate purchase consideration. The final valuation will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of Discover existing at the acquisition date. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, Discover has not completed the Discover Student Loan Sale. As such, the sale consideration received for the Discover Student Loan Sale as well as any gain on sale is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions. The final sale consideration could differ materially from the preliminary sale consideration.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, as of March 31, 2024, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, presented herein, are based on the historical financial statements of Capital One and Discover adjusted for the Discover Student Loan Sale. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, is presented as if Capital One’s acquisition of Discover and the Discover Student Loan Sale had occurred on March 31, 2024 and combines the historical balance sheet of Capital One as of March 31, 2024 with the historical balance sheet of Discover as of March 31, 2024, as adjusted for the Discover Student Loan Sale. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 has been prepared as if the mergers and the Discover Student Loan Sale had occurred on January 1, 2023 and combines Capital One’s historical statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 with Discover’s historical statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, in each case as adjusted for the Discover Student Loan Sale.

As noted previously, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies or dis-synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the mergers or the Discover Student Loan Sale or any acquisition and integration costs that may be incurred. The pro forma adjustments represent management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that Capital One believes are reasonable under the circumstances. There are no material transactions between Capital One and Discover during the period presented. Accordingly, no adjustments are necessary to eliminate any such transactions.

Note 2 – Conforming Accounting Policies and Reclassification Adjustments

During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Capital One performed a preliminary analysis of Discover’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies as compared to those of Capital One and differences in financial statement presentation as compared to the presentation of Capital One. With the information currently available, Capital One is not aware of any differences in accounting policies that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. However, certain reclassification adjustments have been made to conform Discover’s historical financial statement presentation to Capital One’s historical financial statement presentation. Following the completion of the mergers, or as more information becomes available, Capital One will finalize the review of accounting policies and reclassifications, which could be materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein.

Note 3 – Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Estimated preliminary purchase consideration

The following table summarizes the determination of the preliminary estimated purchase consideration for Discover.

 

(in millions, except share and per share data)

    Amount  

Share consideration:

   

Shares of Discover common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the mergers (i)

      250,844,399  

Exchange ratio (ii)

      1.0192  
  

 

 

  

Estimated number of shares of Capital One common stock to be issued in the mergers

      255,660,611  

Price per share of Capital One common stock as of July 19, 2024

    $ 147.27  
  

 

 

  

Estimated fair value of consideration for outstanding common stock

      37,651  

Estimated fair value of consideration for preferred stock (iii)

      1,056  
  

 

 

  

Estimated fair value of preliminary purchase price consideration

    $ 38,707  
  

 

 

  

 

  i.

Assumed based on Discover’s shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of July 19, 2024 with the addition of select Discover RSU awards that will fully vest in connection with the mergers and be settled in shares of Discover common stock. Any change in control payments with a dual trigger requires both a change in control and a qualifying termination event to occur. Based on the preliminary analysis and public information available, Capital One believes the impact of the replacement stock compensation awards and change in control payments are immaterial to the total estimated preliminary purchase price consideration and therefore no adjustment, other than the RSU adjustment described above, is reflected.

 

  ii.

Exchange ratio pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement.

 

  iii.

In connection with the mergers, Capital One will convert the Discover series C preferred stock and the Discover series D preferred stock into new Capital One preferred stock. There is currently not sufficient and reliable information available for Capital One to complete the analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to determine whether any adjustment to the current carrying value is reasonable. The estimate is subject to change as further information is obtained and a detailed analysis can be conducted. Capital One performed a sensitivity analysis of the potential difference between carrying value and fair value and determined it to be not significant for the purpose of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

14

The value of the purchase consideration to be paid by Capital One in shares of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock upon the consummation of the mergers will be determined based on the closing price of Capital One common stock and new Capital One preferred stock on the closing date and the number of issued and outstanding shares of Discover common stock and Discover preferred stock immediately prior to the closing. Actual adjustments may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and these differences may be material. The preliminary estimated purchase consideration could significantly differ from the amounts presented due to movements in Capital One share price up to the closing date. A sensitivity analysis related to the fluctuation in Capital One share price was performed to assess the impact a hypothetical change of 10% on the closing price of Capital One common stock and carrying value of Discover preferred stock on July 19, 2024 would have on the estimated preliminary aggregate purchase consideration and its impact on the preliminary goodwill as of the closing date:

 

     Share Price      Estimated
Consideration
(Equity
Portion)		      Preliminary
Goodwill
Impact		  

Capital One common stock:

         

10% increase

    $ 162.00      $ 41,416      $ 3,765  

10% decrease

    $ 132.54      $ 33,886      $ (3,765 ) 

New Capital One preferred stock:

         

10% increase

       $ 1,162      $ 106  

10% decrease

       $ 950      $ (106 ) 

Preliminary purchase consideration allocation

The assumed accounting for the mergers, including the preliminary purchase price consideration, is based on provisional amounts as the associated purchase accounting will not be finalized until after the mergers have occurred. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was based upon preliminary estimates of fair value. The final determination of the estimated fair values, the assets’ useful lives, and the amortization methods are dependent upon certain valuations and other analyses that have not yet been completed. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Capital One believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The purchase price adjustments relating to the Discover and Capital One combined financial information are preliminary and subject to change, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.

 

15

The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase consideration to the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Discover, as if the mergers had been completed immediately following the Discover Student Loan Sale on March 31, 2024, with the excess recorded to Goodwill:

(i)

The fair values for identifiable intangible assets are estimated using a market participant approach. The amount of intangibles following the mergers may differ significantly based upon the final assigned fair value of each identifiable intangible asset. As the preliminary estimated fair values could significantly differ from the amounts presented, a sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the impact of a hypothetical change of 10%. A 10% change in the valuation of intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the intangible assets by approximately $1,032 million.

 

(ii)

Represents an adjustment for the estimated tax impacts of the pro forma adjustments to deferred income taxes as a result of purchase accounting in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet by using a statutory tax rate of 24.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The total effective tax rate of Capital One following the mergers could be significantly different depending on the post-acquisition geographical mix of income and other factors. Because the tax rate used for this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is an estimate, it will likely vary from the actual rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the mergers and those differences may be material. Components of the estimated deferred income taxes adjustment consist of the following:

(h) Represents an adjustment of $34 million to Interest bearing deposits to reflect the estimated fair value of Time deposits. The fair value estimate was prepared in a manner consistent with both Discover’s most recent unaudited financial statements and Capital One’s internal fair value measurements for similar instruments. Detailed valuations have not been performed and, accordingly, the fair value adjustment reflects preliminary estimates made by Capital One and is subject to change once further analyses are performed and as additional information becomes available.

(i) Represents an adjustment of $(105) million to Securitized debt obligations to reflect the estimated fair value of long-term borrowings owed to securitization investors. The fair value estimate was prepared in a manner consistent with both Discover’s most recent unaudited financial statements and Capital One’s internal fair value measurements for similar instruments. Detailed valuations have not been performed and, accordingly, the fair value adjustment reflects preliminary estimates made by Capital One and is subject to change once further analyses are performed and as additional information becomes available.
