Transaction Summary

 

                  $3.4 billion stock for stock deal

                  Fixed exchange ratio of 0.69 Adobe shares for every Macromedia share

                  Pro forma Adobe ownership of 18% for Macromedia stockholders

 

                  Expected closing by Fall 2005

                  Subject to Macromedia and Adobe stockholder approvals, and customary regulatory approvals

 

                  Expected to be break even to slightly accretive to earnings in first 12 months after the close of transaction on a non-GAAP basis*

 

                  Adobe Board of Directors has authorized $1 billion stock repurchase to be executed after close of the transaction

 


*Due the absence at this time of estimates of the acquisition-related restructuring cost and the allocation of the purchase price between goodwill, in-process R&D, other tangibles and equity-based compensation expenses related to SFAS 123R, Adobe is currently unable to provide GAAP estimates on future earnings. Adobe’s target of break even to slightly accretive to earnings on a non-GAAP basis assumes no adverse impact from the loss of deferred revenue in the first twelve months following the close due to purchase accounting.

The information provided on this slide is presented in non-GAAP format – for Adobe, non-GAAP excludes, as applicable, investment gains/losses and a net tax benefit from foreign earnings repatriation; for Macromedia, non-GAAP excludes amortization and impairments developed technology and intangible assets, gains and losses on investments, write-offs of acquired in-process technology, a non-cash gain for the reduction in fair value of a liability assumed in an acquisition and the non-cash impact of re-measuring certain foreign-denominated tax assets and liabilities. Reconciliation of GAAP on a quarterly basis to non-GAAP can be found on each company’s investor relations website.
