NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

NOTE 1 — Purchase Price

 

The estimated purchase price and the allocation of the estimated purchase price discussed below are preliminary, and subject to certain post-closing adjustments. A final determination of required adjustments will be made based upon final evaluation of the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation adjustments of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined at a later date and is dependent on a number of factors, including the final evaluation of the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
