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 (the “CAS Acquisition”), pursuant to which we acquired from Chemtura Corporation (“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 an increase in term loans of approximately $389 million (approximately $259 million of which is denominated in Euros), $60 million under the U.S. Dollar revolving credit facility and €55 million ($69 million assuming an exchange rate of $1.26 per €1.00) under the multicurrency revolving credit facility under our existing credit agreement (as amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).

On February 13, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Arysta LifeScience Limited (the “Arysta Acquisition”), pursuant to which we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Arysta LifeScience Limited (“Arysta”) for approximately $3.50 billion. The purchase price consisted of $2.86 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 issued to the seller. To fund the cash portion of the purchase price, on February 2, 2015, we issued $1.1 billion (plus original issue premium of $1.0 million) and €350 million (approximately $395 million based upon the February 2, 2015 exchange rate of $1.128 per €1.00) of notes (collectively, the “Existing Notes”), and, on February 13, 2015, we borrowed U.S. dollar denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (less original discount of 1%) and Euro denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of €83 million (approximately $94.5 million based upon the February 13, 2015 exchange rate of $1.14 per €1.00) (less original discount of 2%).

On July 13, 2015, we announced the terms of a recommended offer to acquire all of the issued and to be issued shares of Alent plc (the “Alent Acquisition”) for approximately $2.10 billion (based on the Pound Sterling U.S. Dollar exchange rate of 1.5517 on July 10, 2015), consisting of $1.64 billion of cash, and $0.46 billion shares of our common stock. Fluctuations in our share price and in the Pound Sterling/U.S. Dollar exchange rate have resulted in the purchase price for Alent plc (“Alent”) adjusting to be approximately $1.85 billion, consisting of $1.64 billion of cash, and $0.21 billion shares of our common stock as of October 28, 2015. We currently expect that the financings to fund the cash portion of the purchase price and related transaction expenses of the Alent Acquisition will include, in addition to the net proceeds of our previously-announced offering of an aggregate principal amount of $400 million of senior notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) and cash on hand, $1,475 million of borrowings under first lien incremental term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”), comprised of (A) U.S. dollar denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,145 million and (B) Euro denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of €300 million (or approximately $330 million based upon the October 28, 2015 exchange rate of $1.09 per €1.00). To the extent we issue less than $400 million of Notes, additional borrowings could be drawn under an increase of our revolver facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility Increase”), or provided pursuant to an interim facility letter (as amended, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Interim Facility Letter”) entered in connection with the Alent Acquisition, on July 13, 2015, by and among Platform, certain subsidiary guarantors, Credit Suisse AG and certain of its affiliates (provided that the conditions precedent thereto, including, but not limited, to the unavailability of incremental term loans under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement due to a Payment Default (as defined therein), are met).

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the last twelve months ended June 30, 2015 give effect to the CAS Acquisition, the Arysta Acquisition, the Notes offering, the Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Facility Increase (collectively, the “Transactions”), as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had been consummated on June 30, 2015.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 was derived from Platform’s and Alent’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, Arysta’s, and Alent’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 following unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were derived from Platform’s and Alent’s unaudited statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and Arysta’s unaudited statement for the period from January 1 through February 12, 2015 (the “Arysta Pre-Acquisition Period”).


The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the last twelve months ended June 30, 2015 has been calculated (i) for Platform and Alent by adding the unaudited six months ended June 30, 2015 to the audited year ended December 31, 2014 and subtracting the unaudited six months ended June 30, 2014 statement of operations, (ii) for CAS by subtracting the unaudited six months ended June 30, 2014 from unaudited ten months ended October 31, 2014 and (iii) for Arysta by adding the unaudited Arysta Pre-Acquisition Period to the audited year ended December 31, 2014 and subtracting the unaudited six months ended June 30, 2014. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations and balance sheet do not reflect the acquisition of the Electronic Chemicals and Photomasks businesses of OMG Group, Inc. (the “OMG Acquisition”) and its related financing, because the OMG Acquisition was not significant as defined by Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations and balance sheet do not reflect the acquisition of Percival S.A., including its agrochemical business, Agriphar (the “Agriphar Acquisition”), and its related financing prior to the date of the Agriphar Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations do not reflect the financing available under the Interim Facility Letter, which commitments will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of Notes offering and placed in escrow prior to the consummation of the Alent Acquisition.

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 six months ended June 30, 2015, filed on August 14, 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, as well as Alent’s unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are publicly available on Alent’s website at www.alent.com.

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma information has been prepared without full access to Alent’s books and records. In addition, we have not completed the detailed valuations necessary to estimate the fair value of the assets and the liabilities to be acquired in the Alent Acquisition, and the related allocation of purchase price. Additionally, a final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Alent that exist as of the date of the Alent Acquisition if and when completed. Therefore, certain pro forma adjustments, such as recording fair value of assets and liabilities, conversion from International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union (“EU IFRS”) to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and adjustments for consistency of accounting policy, are preliminary in this unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information and 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.

The audited and reviewed financial statements and other financial information relating to Alent presented herein (the “Alent Financial Information”) was prepared in accordance with the EU IFRS, and we have not made any adjustments to reflect a presentation consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB IFRS”). Although we are not aware of any differences between IASB IFRS and EU IFRS that would materially affect the Alent Financial Information, we have not provided herein any reconciliation between IASB IFRS and EU IFRS.

THE ALENT FINANCIAL INFORMATION HAS NOT BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH IASB IFRS. THE INCLUSION OF THE ALENT FINANCIAL INFORMATION HEREIN SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY PLATFORM, THE GUARANTORS TO THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER PERSON THAT SUCH INFORMATION ACCURATELY OR COMPLETELY REFLECTS THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF ALENT UNDER IASB IFRS AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON AS BEING CONSISTENT WITH IASB IFRS WHEN MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION.


The share price used in determining the preliminary estimated purchase price for Alent is based on the closing price of Platform shares of common stock on the NYSE on October 28, 2015 of $11.33 per share. The preliminary total purchase price is calculated as follows:

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 of the Notes, the Alent Acquisition and Incremental Term Loans for the balance sheet; and

 

    the completion of the CAS Acquisition (solely with respect to the period ended December 31, 2014) and Arysta Acquisition and the consummation of the offering of the Notes, the Alent Acquisition and Incremental Term Loans 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, the Arysta Acquisition, or the proposed Alent 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 herein assumes the consummation of a $400 million Notes offering and Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate amount of $1,475 million.

(1) Platform anticipates financing a portion of the cash consideration for the Alent Acquisition with the net proceeds of the Notes offering and with the Incremental Term Loans, as reflected in the pro forma balance sheet. Platform also has financing available pursuant to the Interim Facility Letter for purposes of the Alent Acquisition; however it believes it is unlikely that financing available under the Interim Facility Letter will be drawn upon. If Platform is unable to finance a portion of the cash consideration for Alent as anticipated, the net loss to common shareholders on a pro forma basis may decrease by up to approximately $2.5 million.

(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) Platform anticipates financing a portion of the cash consideration for the Alent Acquisition with the net proceeds of the Notes offering and with the Incremental Term Loans reflected in the pro forma balance sheet. Platform also has financing available pursuant to the Interim Facility Letter for purposes of the Alent Acquisition; however it believes it is unlikely that the financing available under the Interim Facility Letter will be drawn upon. If Platform is unable to finance a portion of the cash consideration for Alent as anticipated, the net loss to common shareholders on a pro forma basis may decrease by up to approximately $13.0 million.
(4) The historical statement of operations of Arysta and Alent are prepared in accordance with IASB IFRS and EU IFRS, respectively.

(1) Historical Platform and Alent amounts include the audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 plus the unaudited statement of operations for six months ended June 30, 2015 less the unaudited statement of operations for six months ended June 30, 2014.
(2) Historical CAS amounts include unaudited statement of operations for the ten months ended October 31, 2014 less the unaudited statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014
(3) Historical Arysta amounts include the audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 plus the unaudited statement of operations for period ended February 13, 2015 less the unaudited statement of operations for the six months period ended June 30, 2014.
(4) The historical statement of operations of CAS presents cost of goods sold (excluding depreciation) of $78.4 million as an operating expense. For purposes of this pro forma, this amount plus $8.1 million of related depreciation is presented as cost of sale.
(5) Platform anticipates financing a portion of the cash consideration for the Alent Acquisition with the net proceeds of the Notes offering and with the Incremental Term Loans as reflected in the pro forma balance sheet. Platform also has financing available pursuant to the Interim Facility Letter for purposes of the Alent Acquisition; however it believes it is unlikely that the financing available under the Interim Facility Letter will be drawn upon. If Platform is unable to finance a portion of the cash consideration for Alent as anticipated, the net loss to common shareholders on a pro forma basis may decrease by up to approximately $6.4 million.
(6) The historical statement of operations of Arysta and Alent are prepared in accordance with IASB IFRS and EU IFRS. Adjustments to convert the IASB IFRS and EU IFRS basis to the GAAP basis are included in the Arysta and Alent Adjustments columns, respectively. A reconciliation from Alent’s as issued statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to the amounts presented in the Alent (Historical) column is presented in the table below. This period along with the year ended December 31, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2015 are the basis for calculating the last twelve months end June 30, 2015.
