NOTES TO PENNZOIL COMPANY
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of
Pennzoil Company ("Pennzoil") presented illustrate the pro forma effect of
certain proposed transactions. These transactions include (i) the
reclassification as discontinued operations of Pennzoil's motor oil, refined
products and franchise operations ("Products Group"), (ii) the disposition of
Products Group and (iii) the planned use of cash payments made by Products
Group to Pennzoil immediately prior to the Spin-Off (as defined below).
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet has been
prepared assuming that the transactions occurred on the last day of the period
presented. The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income have been
prepared assuming that the transactions and agreements occurred at the
beginning of the period presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared using assumptions deemed appropriate and are presented herein
for illustrative purposes only. These unaudited pro forma financial statements
are not necessarily indicative of the future financial position or results of
operations of Pennzoil, or of the financial position or results of operations
of Pennzoil that would have actually been reported had the events reported
herein occurred as of the dates indicated.
PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
Discontinued Operations--For each period the "Reclassify Discontinued
Operations" column removes from each applicable caption the "As Reported"
amount previously included therein for the proposed discontinued Products
Group operations. A separate "As Reclassified" column is included for
information purposes.
OTHER PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
(a) Selling, General & Administrative Expense--Represents the estimated
incremental expenses to be billed to Products Group by Richland Services
Company ("Richland"), a subsidiary of Pennzoil, in accordance with a
transition services agreement to be entered into between Richland and Products
Group. This pro forma adjustment assumes all services outlined in the
agreement are performed by Richland for the entire period presented.
(b) Interest Expense--Represents a reduction in interest expense as a result
of the application of cash to be received from Products Group immediately
prior to the Spin-Off, which will be applied to reduce amounts outstanding
under Pennzoil's various debt agreements. The interest rate assumed for this
pro forma adjustment is 6%, which approximates Pennzoil's short-term borrowing
rates for the periods presented.
(c) Income Taxes--Reflects the tax impact of pro forma adjustments assuming
a 38% effective tax rate.
(d) Net Assets of Discontinued Operations--Represents the disposition of
Products Group. Products Group will be separated and subsequently spun off
from Pennzoil. Pennzoil shareholders will receive a pro rata distribution of
all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Products Group
(the "Spin-Off").
(e) Long-Term Debt--Represents the use of cash received from Products Group
to reduce outstanding variable-rate indebtedness. Certain intercompany
indebtedness is to be repaid by Products Group to Pennzoil immediately prior
to the Spin-Off. The maximum payment is the total of $500 million plus
outstanding cash of Products Group, less existing third party debt and capital
lease obligations of Products Group. The maximum payment has been assumed in
the pro forma statements. If the cash received from Products Group is in
excess of the variable-rate indebtedness outstanding at such time, Pennzoil
currently intends that the balance would be temporarily applied to cash and
would subsequently be used to repurchase or redeem a portion of Pennzoil's
outstanding notes and debentures due 1999-2009, which would create an
extraordinary loss on extinguishment of indebtedness. Pennzoil has not
determined which notes and debentures would be repurchased or redeemed in such
event.
(f) Shareholder's Equity--Represents disposition of net assets of
discontinued operations less reduction in debt to be funded by cash received
from Products Group.
