CBS CORPORATION

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On November 16, 2017, CBS Corporation (the “Company” or “CBS Corp.”) completed the split-off of CBS Radio Inc. (“CBS Radio”) through an exchange offer, in which the Company accepted 17,854,689 shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock from its stockholders in exchange for the 101,407,494 shares of CBS Radio common stock that it owned. On November 17, 2017, CBS Radio was combined with a subsidiary of Entercom Communications Corp. (“Entercom”) in a merger (the “Merger”) at which time each share of CBS Radio common stock outstanding immediately following the exchange offer was converted into one share of Entercom Class A common stock.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto give effect to the split-off of CBS Radio, as well as the Company’s use of the proceeds of CBS Radio’s indebtedness incurred in connection with the separation of CBS Radio (“the split-off and related events”).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollars in millions)

1) DECONSOLIDATION OF CBS RADIO

On November 16, 2017, the Company disposed of all of the shares of CBS Radio common stock that it owned through a tax-free split-off. The deconsolidation adjustments include (i) deconsolidating the historical assets and liabilities of CBS Radio, including the related tax impact, which were included in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations at September 30, 2017 and (ii) the reversal of consolidation entries as well as the reversal of the elimination of a $4 million receivable from CBS Radio as a result of the disposition.

2) SPLIT-OFF OF CBS RADIO

On November 16, 2017, the Company completed the split-off of CBS Radio through an exchange offer, in which CBS Corp. stockholders received 5.6796 shares of CBS Radio common stock for each share of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock accepted in the exchange offer. As a result, the Company accepted 17,854,689 shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock from its stockholders in exchange for the 101,407,494 shares of CBS Radio common stock that it owned. In the Merger each share of CBS Radio common stock outstanding immediately following the exchange offer was converted into one share of Entercom Class A common stock. The exchange ratio was calculated as the average price of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock of $56.3629 per share divided by 93.0% of the average price of Entercom Class A common stock of $10.6707 per share, reflecting a discount of 7.0%. The average prices reflect the simple arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average price of shares of CBS Class B Common Stock and Entercom Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the three consecutive trading days ended on and including November 14, 2017. The calculated per-share value for CBS Radio common stock was based on the trading prices for Entercom Class A common stock because there is no trading market for CBS Radio common stock. The Company believes, however, that the trading prices for Entercom Class A common stock were an appropriate proxy for the trading prices of CBS Radio common stock since each outstanding share of CBS Radio common stock was converted into one share of Entercom Class A common stock in the Merger.

The estimated net loss on the split-off of CBS Radio of $88 million, which assumes the split-off occurred on September 30, 2017, is calculated as follows:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Tabular dollars in millions)

 

The split-off is accounted for as a tax-free transaction and therefore, there is no tax impact. The net loss will be recorded in discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and as such it has not been reflected in the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations. The actual loss, which will be recorded during the fourth quarter of 2017, will be calculated based on the Company’s carrying value in CBS Radio as of the closing of the exchange offer on November 16, 2017 and therefore could be significantly different from this estimate.

3) EFFECTS OF CBS RADIO’S DEBT ISSUANCE ON SHARE REPURCHASES

On October 17, 2016, in connection with its planned separation from CBS Corp., CBS Radio incurred indebtedness of $1.460 billion, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.432 billion after deducting bank fees, discounts and commissions, and other expenses payable by CBS Radio incurred in connection therewith. CBS Radio distributed to its parent, a wholly owned subsidiary of CBS Corp., approximately $1.426 billion, which is an amount equal to the net proceeds of the CBS Radio borrowing, prior to deducting expenses payable by CBS Radio, less $10 million which remained with CBS Radio to use for general corporate purposes and ongoing cash needs. The Company used the proceeds from the debt issuance to repurchase approximately 24 million shares of its Class B Common Stock. The pro forma adjustment to “weighted average number of common shares outstanding” for the year ended December 31, 2016 assumes that the debt issuance occurred on January 1, 2016 and the Company repurchased these shares on such date.
