Customer relationships and franchise agreements are amortized in proportion to the amount and timing of cash flows expected to be
received over the anticipated period of the customer relationship or duration of the franchise agreement.
The following pro forma results of operations assume that the Transactions had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods and include the
impact of certain acquisition related items, such as: additional amortization of identified intangible assets, increased interest expense on acquisition debt, and
the related income tax effects. Merger related charges are not included as they would have been incurred prior to the Transaction closing. This unaudited pro
forma information should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the Transactions had
actually occurred on that date, or of the results that may be obtained in the future.
