EXPLANATORY NOTE
On June 22, 2020, WESCO International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WESCO”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial 8-K”) to disclose the completion on June 22, 2020 of its previously announced acquisition of Anixter International Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Anixter”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 10, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Anixter, WESCO and Warrior Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of WESCO (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Anixter (the “Merger”), with Anixter surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of WESCO.
This Form 8-K/A amends the Initial 8-K to include the historical audited financial statements of Anixter and the unaudited pro forma combined financial information required by Items 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) of Form 8-K, which were excluded from the Initial 8-K in reliance on the instructions to such items.
Item 9.01 | Financial Statements and Exhibits. |
(a) Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired.
The historical audited consolidated balance sheets of Anixter as of January 3, 2020 and December 28, 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for each of the years ended January 3, 2020, December 28, 2018 and December 27, 2017, and the accompanying notes thereto, are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The historical unaudited balance sheet of Anixter as of April 3, 2020, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended April 3, 2020 and March 29, 2019, and the accompanying notes thereto, are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.
An unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of the combined company as of June 30, 2020 has not been presented as the Merger and related financing transactions have been fully reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet included in WESCO’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on August 17, 2020.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations of the combined company for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2020, and the accompanying notes thereto (collectively, the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information”) are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.3. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information gives effect to the Merger and related financing transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2019.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information has been presented for informational purposes only, as required by Form 8-K. It is not intended to represent and does not purport to be indicative of what the combined company’s results of operations would have been had the Merger and related financing transactions occurred at an earlier date. In addition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information does not purport to project the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The actual results of the combined company may differ significantly from those reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.
