Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On November 3, 2014, Platform Specialty Products Corporation (“Platform,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) completed the acquisition of the Chemtura AgroSolutions business (“CAS”) of Chemtura Corporation (“Chemtura”) (the “CAS Acquisition”), pursuant to which we acquired from Chemtura certain legal entities and other assets and liabilities for approximately $1.04 billion, consisting of $983 million in cash, net of closing adjustments, and 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. We funded the cash portion of the purchase price and related transaction expenses of the CAS Acquisition with a combination of available cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Agreement dated April 12, 2007 (as amended and/or restated, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).

On February 13, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Arysta LifeScience Limited (“Arysta”), pursuant to which we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Arysta for approximately $3.44 billion (the “Arysta Acquisition”). The purchase price consisted of $2.79 billion of cash, net of closing adjustments and including seller transaction expenses paid by Platform, and $600 million of Series B convertible preferred stock of Platform (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). To fund the cash portion of the purchase price, on February 2, 2015, we issued $1.1 billion and €350 million (approximately $420 million based upon the February 2, 2015 exchange rate of $1.20 per €1.00) of notes (collectively, the “Notes”), and, on February 13, 2015, we borrowed an incremental $500 million and €83 million (approximately $94.5 million based upon the February 13, 2015 exchange rate of $1.14 per €1.00) (the “Term Debt”).

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 give effect to the CAS Acquisition and the Arysta Acquisition as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2014 and a proposed $350 million offering of shares of common stock (the “Offering”) as if the Offering had been consummated on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 give effect to the Arysta Acquisition and the Offering as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 reflects the completion of the CAS Acquisition and Arysta Acquisition, and gives effect to the Offering as if it had been consummated on March 31, 2015.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 was derived from Platform’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 was derived from Platform’s and Arysta’s audited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited combined financial statements of CAS for the nine-months ended September 30, 2014. The results of operations for the one-month ended October 31, 2014 were derived from the unaudited combined results of operations of CAS for the ten-months ended October 31, 2014 and the unaudited combined financial statements of CAS for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations do not reflect the acquisition of Percival S.A. and its agrochemical business, Agriphar, completed on October 1, 2014 (the “Agriphar Acquisition”) or the related financing and the proposed separate acquisitions of the Electronic Chemicals and Photomask businesses of the OM Group (the “OMG Acquisition”), because the Agriphar Acquisition and the OMG Acquisition are not significant as defined by Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations do not reflect the financing available under certain financing commitment letters (collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with Barclays Bank PLC, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch and/or their affiliates, which provide debt financing of up to $375 million to consummate the OMG Acquisition (the “Debt Commitment Letter”). Such commitments will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of equity raised in the Offering.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented below is not necessarily indicative of future results and should be read in conjunction with our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and consolidated financial statements filed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as recast by our current report on Form 8-K dated June 16, 2015, and consolidated condensed financial statements filed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three-months ended March 31, 2015, filed on May 15, 2015, “CAS Management’s Discussion of Operations and Cash Flows” and CAS’ combined financial statements and the notes thereto filed as exhibits to current reports on Form 8-K filed on July 11, 2014 and January 12, 2015 (as amended on January 30, 2015), “Arysta Management’s Discussion of Operations and Cash Flows” and Arysta’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto filed on Form 8-K/A, filed on April 29, 2015.

Purchase accounting and purchase price allocation is substantially complete for the CAS Acquisition, with the exception of accounts receivable, inventory, and for both intangible and tangible assets related to the supply agreements with Chemtura for CAS. The Company has not completed the detailed valuations necessary to estimate the fair value of the assets and the liabilities acquired in the Arysta Acquisition, and the related allocations of purchase price. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary and are subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. As the final valuations are performed, increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet amounts and their useful lives will result in adjustments, which may be material, to the balance sheet and/or the statement of operations.

Pro forma adjustments to historical financial information are subject to assumptions described in the notes following the unaudited pro forma financial statements. Management believes that these assumptions and adjustments are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances and are factually supported based on information currently available. The principal adjustments consist of the following:

 

    the consummation of the Offering; and
    the completion of the CAS Acquisition and the Arysta Acquisition and the related issuance of the Term Debt and the Notes for the statements of operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are for illustrative and informational purposes only and are not intended to represent, or be indicative of, what our financial position or results of operations would have been had the CAS Acquisition or the Arysta Acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information also should not be relied upon as a representation of our future performance. The pro forma information contained in this current report on Form 8-K assumes the consummation of the Offering. To the extent we raise less than $350 million, we intend to pay for the additional consideration required to consummate the OMG Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter.

(1) The historical statement of operations of CAS presents cost of goods sold (excluding depreciation) of $206.8 million as an operating expense. For purposes of this pro forma, this amount plus $5.8 million of related depreciation is presented as cost of sales to present gross profit for the acquired business.
(2) The historical statement of operations of CAS for the one-month ended October 31, 2014 is estimated primarily based upon the operations of CAS for the ten-months ended October 31, 2014 less the nine-months ended September 30, 2014, except for the income tax provision, which was adjusted to reflect the effective tax rate of the nine-months ended September 30, 2014.
(3) The historical statement of operations of Arysta are presented in accordance with GAAP based upon its financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjustments to convert the IFRS basis to GAAP basis are included in the Arysta adjustments column.

CAS Adjustments

 

CA Reflects portion of the profit in CAS inventory step-up recognized in purchase accounting that has not been recognized in operations subsequent to the closing of the CAS Acquisition during 2014.

 

CB Adjustment to depreciation to reflect its annual basis for the step-up of property, plant, and equipment.

 

CC Reflects elimination of the cost of a Brazilian accounts receivable securitization program of CAS not acquired in the CAS Acquisition.
