UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared by the management of ATN International, Inc. (the Company or ATN) and gives pro forma effect to the completion of the sale by the Companys U.S. solar portfolio. The Company, through its subsidiary Ahana Renewables, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Ahana), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 9, 2018 (the Purchase Agreement) with CleanCapital Holdco 4 LLC (CleanCapital) pursuant to which CleanCapital purchased from Ahana the subsidiary companies (the Subsidiaries) that own and manage distributed generation solar power projects operated under the Ahana name in Massachusetts, California and New Jersey (the Business).
The transaction was completed on November 06, 2018. The Company received cash consideration of $65.4 million, which consisted of the contractual purchase price of $64.2 million and a closing date adjustment related to working capital and other matters in favor of the Company of $1.2 million. In addition, CleanCapital assumed Ahana debt of $57.2 million. Approximately $6.5 million of the sales proceeds will be held in escrow for a period of twelve months after the closing of the transaction to provide security to CleanCapital for Ahanas indemnification obligations (the Transaction). The Business does not qualify as a discontinued operation because the disposition does not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Companys operations and financial results.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is provided for informational purposes only. The information is not necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of operations of the Company actually would have been if the sale of the Business had been completed as of and for the periods indicated. In addition, the information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based on financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). In addition, the information is based upon available information and a number of assumptions that the Company considers to be reasonable, and have been made solely for purposes of developing such unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for illustrative purposes in compliance with the disclosure requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give effect to the sale of the Business as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the sale of the Business as if it had been consummated on June 30, 2018. You should read this unaudited pro forma information in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and the historical financial statements of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Pro forma adjustments related to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give effect to certain events that are (i) directly attributable to the sale of the Business, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on the Companys results. Pro forma adjustments related to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet give effect to events that are directly attributable to the sale of the Business, and that are factually supportable regardless of whether they have a continuing impact or are non-recurring.
The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma financial information and amounts may change based on a final determination of the book value of Businesss assets, liabilities, and other closing date adjustment amounts. The Company is still in the process of evaluating the tax implications of the transaction on its consolidated tax provision. Thus, the final gain may differ in material respects from that presented in the unaudited pro forma financial information.

Note 3. Pro Forma Adjustments
The following is a summary of the pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements based on preliminary estimates, which may change as additional information is obtained:
(a) Disposition This adjustment removes the disposed assets and the associated revenue and expense generated by the Business. Refer to Note 2 for the assets and liabilities disposed. The adjustment to additional paid-in capital represents the net book value of the assets disposed.
(b) Non-controlling interest This adjustment reflects the repurchase of non-controlling interest for $4.6 million completed in conjunction with the transaction. The $4.6 million was paid with $2.1 million of cash and $2.5 million of restricted cash. The non-controlling interest had a book value of $5.6 and the difference of $1.0 million between the purchase price and book value was recorded to additional paid-in capital.
(c) Purchase Price The Company received $65.4 million of cash consideration, consisting of $58.8 million of cash, $0.1 million of receivables payable after close of the Transaction, and $6.5 million of receivables held in escrow to satisfy Ahanas indemnification obligations. In addition, CleanCapital assumed Ahana debt with a November 6, 2018 balance of $57.2 million. The assumed debt had a balance of $58.2 million on June 30, 2018. As a result of the disposition the pro forma financials reflect a gain of $13.1 million before income taxes and transaction costs. In addition, the pro forma results include tax expense of $2.7 million, a reclassification of $21.4 million from deferred income taxes to accrued tax, and non-controlling interest expense of $1.3 million. These amounts were not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 due to their non-recurring nature, but has been recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018. The adjustment to additional paid-in capital reflects the net book value of the assets received less the gain recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the tax impact of the Transaction.
(d) Income taxes This adjustment reflects the tax expense associated with the disposition of the Business and pro forma adjustments. The adjustment is calculated based on a federal statutory and blended state tax rate of 38% and 24% for 2017 and 2018, respectively.
(e) Transaction-related charges This adjustment removes expenses pertaining to legal, accounting and consulting services associated with the transaction incurred prior to June 30, 2018 from the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations and accrues such expenses payable at the closing of the Transaction in the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet.
