On November 28, 2006, Service Corporation International (“SCI”) completed its acquisition of Alderwoods Group, Inc. (“Alderwoods”). At the effective time of the acquisition, all of the outstanding shares of Alderwoods common stock and restricted stock units were converted into the right to receive $20.00 per share in cash, without interest. Each outstanding option or warrant to purchase Alderwoods’ common stock was converted into the right to receive, for each share of common stock issuable upon exercise of such option or warrant, cash in the amount of the excess, if any, of $20.00 over the exercise price per share of such option or warrant. The aggregate cash consideration paid as a result of the acquisition was approximately $880.7 million.
On November 29, 2006, SCI filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) stating that the required historical financial statements and other financial information with respect to Alderwoods and the required pro forma financial information with respect to the acquisition would be filed by an amendment to that Report. This Report replaces Item 9.01 of that filing:

Service Corporation International
Unaudited pro forma combined financial information
On November 28, 2006, Service Corporation International (“SCI”) acquired Alderwoods Group, Inc. (“Alderwoods”) for $20.00 per share in cash, resulting in a total purchase price of $1.2 billion, which includes Alderwoods’ debt, of which $357.7 million was refinanced and $2.2 million was assumed. The acquisition was financed from:
  $888.4 million of cash on hand, including $490 million in proceeds, net of issuance costs, from the issuance of senior notes in October 2006;
 
  borrowings under a new $450 million senior credit facility, consisting of a $150 million 3-year term loan, all of which was borrowed in connection with the acquisition, and a $300 million 5-year revolving credit facility, none of which was drawn in connection with the acquisition; and
 
  the issuance of $200 million of debt securities in a private placement.
In connection with the acquisition, SCI and Alderwoods commenced tender offers to purchase certain outstanding notes. These offers expired on November 28, 2006 and SCI and Alderwoods purchased the notes that had been validly tendered.
SCI has executed a consent order with the staff of the FTC in connection with the acquisition, which identifies certain properties the FTC has required us to divest as a result of the acquisition. We have entered into or are currently negotiating agreements to sell these properties. These agreements are subject to review and approval by the FTC. We believe that divestiture of the assets, together with the divestiture of other assets that we have identified for sale, will generate proceeds of approximately $230 million in the near future, which we expect to use to repay debt. There can be no assurance that the divestitures described above will be consummated, or if consummated will generate the proceeds described above.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information reflects the combination of the historical consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations for SCI and Alderwoods, adjusted for certain effects of the acquisition, the related financings, and the planned divestitures.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2006. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 give effect to the transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2005.
For purposes of the pro forma information, the asset groups to be sold pursuant to the divestitures have been reclassified on the pro forma balance sheet as assets held for sale and the results of operations of these asset groups have been eliminated from the pro forma statements of operations. No pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect any anticipated gain or loss from the divestitures and no adjustment has been made to reflect any earnings benefit from the reinvestment of any proceeds from the divestiture or any reduction of debt from the application of sale proceeds.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The acquisition will be accounted for, and the pro forma combined financial information has been prepared, using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma adjustments reflect our preliminary estimates of the purchase price allocation, which are subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair value of Alderwoods’ assets and liabilities becomes available. Additionally, the pro forma adjustments reflect the actual financing transactions that occurred and the impact of those transactions based on estimated interest rates for floating rate financing.

A-1


 

These pro forma results should not be construed to be indicative of future results or results that actually would have occurred had the transactions occurred at the dates presented. In addition, we have not assumed any cost savings or synergies that might occur related to these transactions.

Certain of Alderwoods’ line items have been reclassified to conform to SCI’s presentation.
 
(b)   The table below sets forth adjustments to revenue arising from the acquisition:

The cemetery customer relationships and the funeral insurance funded preneed revenue are being amortized over an estimated useful life of ten years. The trademark, tradename, water rights, and permits and licenses, are considered to have an indefinite life and are not subject to amortization; rather, such assets would be subject to annual tests for impairment. The intangible assets associated with funeral trust funded preneed deferred revenue and cemetery preneed deferred revenue are amortized relative to the recognition of preneed revenue and included in note (b(1)) and (b(2)).
 
    (2)   Represents a net adjustment to conform Alderwoods’ accounting policy for gains and losses on its pension plan assets and obligations to SCI’s historical accounting policy.

(e) Represents the reclassification of gains and losses from dispositions to conform to SCI’s historical presentation.
 
(f) The pro forma adjustments to income tax reflect the statutory federal, state and foreign income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments related to the Alderwoods acquisition (see notes (b), (c), (d) and (e)) and the effects of purchase accounting.
 
(g) For purposes of the pro forma information, the asset groups to be sold pursuant to the divestitures have been reclassified on the pro forma balance sheet as assets held for sale and the results of operations of these asset groups have been eliminated from the pro forma statement of operations.
