NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information, as amended by the final rule, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses, as adopted by the SEC on May 21, 2020.
Certain reclassifications were made to the balance sheet and income statements to align SHUSA and Webster accounting policies and financial statement presentation.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Transaction under the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. As described in the Form 8-K filed on August 20, 2026 (the “Prior Form 8-K”), Santander was the acquirer of Webster. Santander transferred its investment in Webster to the Company in the form of a capital contribution, and the Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at Santander’s carrying value, which equals their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The fair value concepts applied are consistent with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.
Pursuant to the Transaction, each share of Webster common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger of Webster with and into Webster Virginia Corporation was converted into the right to receive 2.0548 American depositary shares of Santander and $48.75 in cash, without interest.
Transaction costs associated with the Transaction are expected to be expensed as incurred by Santander and are not expected to be charged to the Company. Any excess of the purchase consideration and noncontrolling interest obtained over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired will be allocated to goodwill.
The pro forma allocation of the purchase price is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions and is subject to change. The Company has not completed the valuation analysis necessary to finalize the fair value estimates of Webster’s assets and liabilities. Preliminary estimates have been developed for certain intangible assets and select financial assets and liabilities. The final allocation of the purchase price will be completed by Santander within the 12-month measurement period following the acquisition date, in accordance with ASC Topic 805. A final determination of fair values will be based on Webster’s actual assets and liabilities as of the closing date of the Transaction and may differ materially from the preliminary estimates presented herein.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of the Company and Webster, giving effect to the Transaction as if it had been completed on the June 30, 2026. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 combine the historical consolidated income statements of the Company and Webster, giving effect to the Transaction as if it had been completed on January 1, 2025.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been achieved had the Transaction been completed on the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of future results or financial position of the Company following the Transaction.
The pro forma financial information included herein does not reflect the issuance or maintenance of loss-absorbing instruments that may be required in connection with applicable total loss-absorbing capacity requirements.
