Exhibit 99.2

ARYSTA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS AND CASH FLOWS

The following discussion is intended to provide a high-level discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Arysta LifeScience Limited (“Arysta”) during each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 . These results may not be indicative of the results that Platform Specialty Products Corporation would expect to recognize as a consolidated company . This discussion should be read in conjunction with Arysta’s consolidated historical financial statements for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the unaudited pro forma information provided in this Current Report on Form 8-K .

In some cases, Arysta has identified forward-looking statements by such words or phrases as “will likely result,” “is confident that,” “expect,” “expects,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “will continue to,” “believe,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “estimates,” “projects,” “potential,” “intends” or similar expressions identifying forward-looking statements, including the negative of those words and phrases. Such forward-looking statements are based on Arysta’s current views and assumptions regarding future events, future business conditions and our outlook based on currently available information. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

Overview

Arysta is a leading global provider of crop solutions, with expertise in agrochemical and biological products. Arysta has a solutions-oriented business model that focuses on product innovation to address grower needs. Arysta’s solutions are delivered on a local basis, utilizing globally managed patented and proprietary off-patent agrochemical active ingredients (“AIs”) and biological solutions, or biosolutions, complemented by a broad portfolio of regionally managed off-patent agrochemical offerings. Biosolutions includes biological stimulants, or biostimulants, innovative nutrition and biological control, or biocontrol, products. Arysta employs a targeted market strategy aimed at specific regions and crops where it is believed that its market position, product portfolio and capabilities enable Arysta to achieve sustainable high growth and a strong leadership position. Arysta’s product portfolio consists of a distinctive suite of both agrochemical and biosolutions products. Arysta’s products serve a broad and diverse geographic mix, focusing on high-growth regions such as Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Central/Eastern Europe, China and South Asia, which collectively accounted for 68.6% of Arysta’s sales in 2013. As of September 30, 2014, Arysta’s extensive product portfolio included over 200 agrochemical AIs, and over 3,600 registrations worldwide. Arysta obtained 155 new product registrations in 2013. Arysta does not conduct any basic research for the discovery of new agrochemical AIs (which involves significant cost and risk); rather, Arysta selectively acquires or licenses the rights to AIs. Arysta sources AIs from over 800 suppliers and utilizes a balanced mix of “toll production,” which typically involves the formulation, packaging, or repackaging of one or more products by a supplier, and in-house formulation capabilities. Arysta operates in over 100 countries and has 13 formulation facilities strategically located in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. In general, Arysta does not engage in direct agrochemical AI manufacturing.

Basis of Financial Presentation

Arysta’s consolidated statements for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 are the first that Arysta has prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Historically, Arysta’s operations and business were primarily conducted through Arysta Corporation. Prior to 2013, when Arysta completed an internal reorganization of its legal entity structure, Arysta was a holding company.

Other than Arysta’s IFRS consolidated financial statements, for periods up to and including the year ended December 31, 2012, Arysta has only prepared unconsolidated financial statements in accordance with Irish generally accepted accounting principles, and Arysta Corporation has only prepared consolidated financial statements in accordance with Japanese generally accepted accounting principles (“JGAAP”). Arysta prepared consolidated financial statements under JGAAP for the year ended December 31, 2013. A reconciliation from JGAAP to IFRS is presented in Note 25 to Arysta’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Sales

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Arysta’s consolidated sales increased by $27.3 million, or 2.6%, to $1,062.2 million from $1,034.9 million in same period in the prior year. Sales were adversely impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar primarily due to the weakening of the Brazilian Real, the Japanese Yen and the South Africa Rand which have depreciated by 4.7%, 5.4% and 10.7% when compared with the same period in the prior year. Sales increased despite unfavorable weather conditions including drought in certain key areas of Brazil and a delayed Monsoon season in South Asia.

Despite the impact of the stronger U.S. Dollar and adverse weather in certain regions, sales increased during the first nine months of the year due primarily to growth in Africa and Western Europe resulting from successful tenders in Western Africa for large corporate growers and commercial, state-owned companies and strong demand for our Clethodim-based products due to increased resistance of competing herbicides. Sales were also beneficially impacted from increased average sales prices in North America and Latin America as well as the acquisition of Goëmar in March 2014. These increases were offset, in part, by a strategic shift away from lower margin products in North America and decreases in volume China and South Asia business due to inclement weather conditions, particularly in India coupled with and a reduction in sales in Central/Eastern Europe and Japan due to the discontinuation of a product and the divestment of the Japan-based Agrimart business.

Consolidated Costs of Sales and Gross Profit

Costs of sales includes expenses for the manufacturing of products such as raw materials, payroll, utilities, manufacturing costs and depreciation. Costs of sales also includes provisions for write-downs of inventories and inventory write offs. Gross profit is mainly affected by volume of sales, average selling prices of our products, the mix of our sales, costs of raw materials, impacts of exchange rates, plant maintenance and overheads.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Arysta’s consolidated gross profit increased by $28.4 million, or by 7.7%, to $395.7 million from $367.4 million in same period in the prior year. The increase in consolidated gross profit was primarily driven by volume growth in Africa & Western Europe and Latin America, price increases in North and Latin America and the impact of the

acquisition of the Goëmar business. These increases were partially offset by decreases in our Japan and Central/Eastern Europe and China and South Asia businesses as well as adverse impacts of a strong U.S. Dollar. As a percentage of total sales, Arysta’s gross margin was 35.5% and 37.3% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Gross profit benefited from increased demand for Arysta’s GVAP products, which generally are higher margin compared to Arysta’s regional portfolio, increase in average selling prices in North America, benefits of successful tenders in Western Africa and the impact of the acquisition of the Goëmar business.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses principally consist of expenditures incurred for salaries and wages, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, advertising, promotion and other sales related expenses, bad debt expenses, professional fees (including consulting, audit and legal fees), research and development and regulatory expenses, travel expenses, insurance, information technology and communication expenses, rent and leasehold expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Arysta’s consolidated SG&A expense increased by $21.8 million, or 8.8%, to $268.6 million from $246.8 million in the prior year. The increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to the impact of the acquisition of Goëmar as well as investments in employment-and other costs to support growth, particularly in the Corporate, North America and Africa & Western Europe segments. These higher SG&A expenses supported investments in new markets, increases in research and development costs primarily related to product registrations, increases in management capabilities, including costs to position Arysta for a possible initial public offering, coupled with general inflationary increases, particularly related to personnel expenses.

Increased SG&A expenses was offset, in part, by decreases in provisions for bad debt and lower legal and consulting expenses. Legal and consulting expenses in the first nine months of 2013 included costs associated with Arysta’s debt restructuring completed in May 2013, which were not repeated in the nine month period ended 2014. SG&A expenses were also positively impacted by movements in foreign exchange rates, in particular the impact of the stronger U.S. Dollar, as expenses are generally denominated in the local currency where the activity occurs.

Other Operating Income

Other operating income consists of Arysta’s proportionate share of earnings from equity investments where Arysta has significant influence but not ultimate control over the investment, gains on the disposal of fixed assets and other items of income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, other operating income decreased by $0.3 million to $0.9 million from $1.2 million in same period in the prior year. The decrease in other operating income was due to gains recorded during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 recorded in the China and South Asia business which did not recur in 2014.

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense consists of losses on the disposal of fixed assets, impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and other expense items.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, other operating expense increased by $15.1 million to $15.6 million from $0.5 million in same period in the prior year driven primarily by a $15.3 million impairment of certain intangible assets primarily associated with Arysta’s North American business.

Consolidated Operating Income

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, consolidated operating income decreased by $8.9 million to $112.4 million from $121.3 million in same period of the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to increases in selling, general and administrative costs and asset impairments of $21.8 million and $15.3 million, respectively. Operating income benefited from increases in gross profit of $28.4 million.

Financial Income

Financial income consists primarily of interest earned on loans and receivable balances as well as dividend income, foreign exchange gains, gains on the valuation of derivatives associated with the management of interest rate and foreign currency risks.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, financial income was $23.9 million, a decrease of $28.1 million from $52.1 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in financial income was due primarily to net foreign exchange gains of

$30.6 million recorded in the first nine months of 2013 that were not repeated in the first nine months of 2014 and decreased interest income of $2.6 million, which were partially offset by a settlement, in Arysta’s favor of approximately $6.1 million.

Financial Expense

Financial expense primarily consists of interest due on debt, losses on the valuation of derivatives associated with the management of interest rate and foreign currency risks, financing discounts, factoring arrangement fees, and foreign exchange losses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, financial expense was $116.7 million, a decrease of $15.6 million from $132.3 million in the same period of the prior year. This decrease compared to the prior year was driven by an $18.7 million reduction in interest expense to $86.2 million from $104.8 million in 2013 resulting from lower interest rates achieved by a debt refinancing executed in May 2013. The reduced interest expense was partially offset by increased borrowings.

Financial expense was adversely impacted by net foreign exchange losses recorded in first nine months of 2014 as opposed to net foreign exchange gains recorded in the same period of the prior year. The net foreign exchange losses is driven primarily by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar. During 2014, as part of a reorganization, certain intercompany loans have been classified as net investments as no repayment is planned in the foreseeable future which has reduced volatility of foreign exchange movements.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, income tax expense decreased to $54.3 million, or by $6.8 million, from $61.0 million when compared to the same period from the prior year. Income tax expense exceeded Arysta’s income before tax from continuing operations in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2014 as certain expenses were not immediately deductible for tax purposes, including but not limited to amortization and impairment of intangible assets. Arysta has historically recorded operating losses in certain jurisdictions where it has not recognized deferred tax assets as future profitability in certain of these jurisdictions is not assured.

Arysta is a tax resident of the Republic of Ireland, where the standard corporate tax rate is 12.5%. However, its effective tax rate is materially higher than the standard corporate tax rate in the Republic of Ireland as it is subject to tax in many jurisdictions, most of which have corporate income tax rates materially higher than the 12.5% rate. Brazil has a tax rate of 34%. Other material jurisdictions include Mexico, the United States and France with corporate tax rates of 30%, 38% and 33%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash flow from (used for) operating activities	(66,995	)	(72,191	)
Net cash flow from (used for) investing activities	(9,361	)	(168,455	)
Net cash flow from (used for) financing activities	156,029		172,291

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash flow used for operating activities was $72.2 million in the first nine months of 2014, an increase from $67.0 million in the same period of the prior year. The $5.2 million increase in cash used for operating activities was due primarily to $12.6 million increase in working capital adjustments resulting from the payment of other current liabilities offset by better management of inventory levels and accounts payable. Decreased income before tax, after adjusting for impairments, of $2.6 million and timing of income tax payments of $6.6 million also contributed to the increased cash flow used for operating activities.

These increases in cash flows used for operating activities are offset by reduced interest payments in the first nine months of 2013 were made in conjunction with the refinancing of Arysta’s debt in May 2013, including the payment of interest on Arysta’s payment-in-kind notes that had accrued over several years.

Net Cash Flow (used for) Investing Activities

Cash flow used for investing activities increased to $168.5 million in the first nine months of 2014 from $9.4 million in same period of the prior year. The increase was due to the purchase of Goëmar, net of cash acquired for $150.1 million. Increased purchases of product registration rights and increased purchases of property, plant and equipment also contributed to the increase in cash used for investing activities.

Net Cash Flow (used for) Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities increased to $172.3 million in the first nine months of 2014 from $156.0 million in the same period in the prior year. In the first nine months of 2014, Arysta issued $175.0 million of first and second lien debt primarily for the purchase of Goëmar and general corporate requirements. The cash flow from financing activities achieved in the first nine months of 2013, was due to the refinancing of our borrowings in May 2013, which resulted in a cash inflow.

(1) Other operating income consists of Arysta’s proportionate share of earnings from equity investments in which Arysta has significant influence but not ultimate control, gains on the disposal of fixed assets and other items of income, both recurring and non-recurring. For the year ended December 31, 2012, other operating income included an impairment reversal of $5.1 million, earnings on equity method investments of $0.6 million, gains on disposal of fixed assets of $0.6 million and other items in the amount of $0.2 million. In 2013, other operating income included earnings on equity method investments of $0.8 million, gains on disposal of fixed assets of $0.3 million and other items in the amount of $4.7 million.

Sales

For the year ended December 31, 2013, Arysta’s consolidated sales increased by $40.9 million, or 2.8%, to $1,508.9 million from $1,468.1 million in 2012. The increase in sales was primarily due to an increase in the volume and price of products sold, partially offset by less favorable exchange rates. Increases in both sales of acephate-based products in Latin America and in sales of Arysta’s fluoxastrobin-based products in North America were partially offset by reduced sales of Arysta’s insecticide products in Central/Eastern Europe and Japan. Broad increases in demand in kasugamycin and atonik products were the key drivers in Arysta’s biosolutions products, in addition to favorable weather-related and less favorable exchange rates. Offsetting these impacts was a reduction in sales of Regional products in Arysta’s North America segment as a result of Arysta’s deliberate strategy to shift sales to higher margin GVAP products.

Costs of Sales and Gross Profit

For the year ended December 31, 2013, Arysta’s consolidated gross profit increased by $15.9 million, or 3.1%, to $529.6 million from $513.7 million in 2012. As a percentage of total sales, Arysta’s gross margin was 35.0% and 35.1% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The increase in gross margin for the years ended December 31, 2013 was mainly due to an increase in the volume and price of products sold as a result of increased demand, largely offset by an increase in the prices of raw materials and productions costs, as well as less favorable exchange rates. Acephate and flucarbazone-based products led

increases in gross profit in Arysta’s GVAP products, offset by decreases in amicarbazone and captan products. Increases in gross profit in biozyme, atonik and Arysta’s biocontrol products drove increases in biosolutions products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2013, Arysta’s consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $2.3 million, or 0.7%, to $347.8 million from $345.4 million in the prior year. SG&A increases included expenses to support business growth, including increases in employment-related expenses, travel, advertising and promotion and various other items including information technology and facility related expenses. Increases were primarily in Latin America and Africa, the Middle East and Western Europe where Arysta invested in distributor education and relationship programs, additional formulations, infrastructure and investments in new markets. SG&A expenses also increased due to additional professional fees largely as a result of costs incurred in connection with Arysta’s debt refinancing.

These increases were partially offset by a reduction in depreciation and amortization driven largely by an extension of the useful life of certain product research and development intangibles in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. SG&A was also positively impacted by movements in foreign exchange rates. Arysta’s SG&A expenses are generally denominated in the local currency where the activity occurs. Arysta’s growth in SG&A expenses were partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar when compared with the Brazilian Real, Mexican Peso and Japanese Yen. The strong Euro, when compared with the U.S. Dollar, partially offset this trend.

Other Operating Income

For the year ended December 31, 2013, other operating income decreased by $0.9 million, or 13.0%, to $5.7 million from $6.6 million in 2012. The decrease in other operating income was due to reduced gains on the disposal of fixed assets and a 2012 impairment reversal not repeated in 2013. These decreases were offset, in part, by an increase in Arysta’s proportionate share of earnings from equity investments where Arysta has significant influence but not ultimate control and other non-recurring benefits.

Other Operating Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2013, other operating expense increased by $43.6 million to $50.0 million from $6.4 million in 2012. In 2013, Arysta recorded an impairment charge of $49.1 million, consisting primarily of a $47.8 million impairment of product registration rights.

The impairments recorded are impacted by Arysta’s initial adoption of IFRS. Arysta elected certain exemptions for business combinations resulting in most of Arysta’s goodwill and intangible assets being denominated in Japanese Yen. As Arysta’s cash inflows are denominated in the local currencies, primarily the Brazilian Real, the U.S. Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. Arysta’s impairment tests are impacted by and sensitive to exchange rate movements between the local currencies and the Japanese Yen.

Consolidated Operating Income

For the year ended December 31, 2013, consolidated operating income decreased by $30.9 million to $137.6 million from $168.5 million in 2012. Excluding the impact in 2013 of the $47.8 million impairment of certain product registration rights and the $5.1 million impairment reversal in 2012, operating income increased by $22.0 million due primarily to a $15.9 million increase in gross profit, offset by a $2.3 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs.

Financial Income

For the year ended December 31, 2013, interest income decreased by $0.7 million to $24.3 million from $25.0 million in 2012. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to the impact of a stronger U.S. Dollar on U.S. Dollar linked invoices in Brazil.

Other financial income increased by $8.4 million to $9.1 million in 2013 from $0.6 million in 2012. The increase in financial income was due primarily to non-recurring benefit resulting from the settlement of disputed tax assessments in Brazil for less than the expected amount.

Financial Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2013, interest expense decreased by $1.1 million to $134.6 million from $135.7 million in 2012. The decrease in interest expense was due to interest rates on the refinancing executed in May 2013, offset by increased borrowings.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, other finance expense decreased by $22.2 million to $70.1 million from $92.3 million in 2012. The decrease in other financial expense was due primarily to reduced losses on hedging instruments as a greater proportion of Arysta’s hedging instruments were designated as cash flow hedges requiring unrealized losses to be recorded in other comprehensive income as opposed to the income statement.

Provision for Income Taxes

Despite losses from continuing operations, Arysta recorded an income tax expense of $47.6 million in 2013 and $45.1 million in 2012. Arysta’s consolidated net loss included amortization of intangible assets, and impairments of certain intangible assets, which are not immediately deductible for tax purposes and in some cases may never be deductible. Arysta is a tax resident of the Republic of Ireland, where the standard corporate tax rate is 12.5%. However, Arysta is subject to tax in many jurisdictions, most of which have corporate income tax rates materially higher than the 12.5% rate. Brazil has a tax rate of 34%. Other material jurisdictions for Arysta include Mexico, the United States and France with corporate tax rates of 30%, 38% and 33%, respectively. Consequently, Arysta’s effective tax rate is materially different from the standard tax rate of 12.5% in the Republic of Ireland.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	Years ended December 31, — 2012	2013
	(U.S. Dollars in thousands)
Cash flow from operating activities	$ 177,615	$	216,919
Net cash flow from operating activities	98,287		22,998
Net cash flow from (used for) investing activities	(73,789	)	(35,294	)
Net cash flow from (used for) financing activities	(13,587	)	162,755

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash flow from operating activities was $216.9 million in 2013, up from $177.6 million in 2012, an increase of $39.3 million. The improvement in cash flow from operating activities was due to a $27.7 million increase in income (loss) before tax, adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, impairment losses and financial income and financial expense in 2013. Cash flows from operating activities also benefited from better management of accounts receivable and other current liabilities offset by payments of trade payables.

Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash flow from operating activities was $23.0 million in 2013, down from $98.3 million in 2012 mainly due to the items impacting cash flow from operating activities discussed above as well as increased interest payments of $96.9 million associated with the refinancing of Arysta’s debt in May 2013 and increased payments of income taxes due to stronger underlying operating results.

Net Cash Flow (used for) Investing Activities

Cash flow used for investing activities decreased to $35.3 million in 2013 from $73.8 million in 2012, largely as a result of a timing of purchases of product registration rights and payments made in 2012 for contingent consideration of an acquisition completed in 2011. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was also impacted by reduced purchases of, and increased proceeds from, the sale of property, plant and equipment.

Net Cash Flow (used for) Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities increased $176.3 million in 2013 as financing activities provided $162.8 million in 2013 as opposed to a cash requirement of $13.6 million in 2012.

The increase in cash flows was due to a refinancing of Arysta’s borrowings in May 2013, which repaid existing borrowings. The net impact from the refinancing (proceeds less repayments of long-term debt) was $200.2 million and was the primary driver of the net increase in cash flows from financing activities. The increase in cash flows from the refinancing was partially offset by increased payments for derivative investments and a reduction in short-term debt. During 2012, cash flow from financing activities included cash received from Arysta’s parent company of $79.9 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of Arysta’s financial statements requires Arysta to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expense. Arysta bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, current conditions and other reasonable factors. Several of the estimates and assumptions Arysta is required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. Arysta considers the accounting policies discussed below to be critical to the understanding of its financial statements and involve subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. Actual results could differ from Arysta’s estimates and assumptions, and any such difference could be material to its financial statements.

Valuation and Impairments of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are measured at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, including identified intangibles, is recorded as goodwill. The determination and allocation of fair value to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable judgment from management, generally with support from specialist consultants, and include estimates based on historical information, current market data and future expectations. The principal assumptions utilized in valuation methodologies include quantitative factors, such as sales growth rates, operating margin estimates and discount rates, as well as qualitative factors, such as the economic and political climate where the acquired business operates. While Arysta believes its valuation process is reasonable, those estimates are inherently uncertain. As explained above, Arysta performs regular tests of the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. For the purposes of assessing impairment, Arysta applies its judgment in determining its cash generating units, or CGUs, the lowest level of asset group for which there are independent cash flows, and the groups of CGUs to which goodwill is allocated. The recoverable amount for goodwill is determined based on value in use of the relevant CGU, or groups of GGUs, to which the goodwill is allocated. The recoverable amounts of all material intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are based on their value in use, which requires assumptions to estimate future cash flows. These assumptions are reviewed annually and are subject to significant adjustment from such factors as changes in market conditions.

As part of Arysta’s initial adoption of IFRS, Arysta elected certain exemptions for business combinations resulting in their goodwill and intangible assets being denominated in Japanese Yen. Arysta’s cash flows are denominated in various currencies, primarily Brazilian Real, the U.S. Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. Accordingly, future impairment tests will be impacted by and sensitive to exchange rate movements between the local currencies and the Japanese Yen. At December 31, 2013, no additional impairment would arise unless the Japanese Yen was to significantly appreciate when compared to the local currencies in which the cash flows are denominated.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

At each reporting date, trade receivables are carried at their original invoice amounts less a provision for doubtful collections based on estimated losses and any discounted component of an effective financing component. Arysta estimates the provision at each reporting period based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days that billings are past due and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with specific customers. Arysta also considers any changes in the financial condition of its customers and any other external market factors that could impact the collectability of the receivables in the determination of its provision for doubtful accounts.

Provisions

Provisions are estimates of financial loss associated with risks resulting from a variety of areas including legal, product, regulatory and environmental issues. The determination of the amount of a provision is complex and is based on the relevant facts, as understood by management, for each issue. The provisions may be adjusted periodically as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Actual costs can deviate from these estimates.

Income Tax

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or in which tax losses can be utilized. The tax effect of unused tax losses is recognized as a deferred tax asset when it becomes probable that the tax losses will be utilized. In making assessments regarding deferred tax assets, management considers economic and political factors in the respective tax jurisdiction, estimates of taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. At the end of each reporting period, management believes it will realize benefits at least equal to its recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates are subject to change due to market and financial performance as well as political uncertainties

Future taxable income is dependent, to some degree, on the way in which Arysta operates including its global supply chain and intellectual property rights, which are used internationally within the company. Transfer prices for the delivery of goods and charges for the provision of services, including recharges of intellectual property, may be subject to challenge by the respective national tax authorities in any of the countries in which Arysta operates, which may result in a significant increase in its tax expense. Interpretation of taxation rules relating to financing arrangements between entities within Arysta and to foreign currency translation differences may also give rise to uncertain tax positions.

Arysta estimates its provision for income tax that will ultimately be payable when reviewed by the respective tax authorities. These estimates include significant management judgments about the eventual outcome of the reviews expected to be taken by each tax authority. Actual outcomes and settlements may differ significantly from the estimates recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Preparation

Arysta LifeScience Limited (the “Company”) is domiciled and incorporated in the Republic of Ireland and its corporate headquarters are located at 5 Georges Dock, IFSC, Dublin 1.

The Group develops and distributes value-added crop solutions specializing in agrochemicals, biological solutions, or biosolutions, as well as complementary areas of life sciences. The Group’s agrochemical products protect crops from weeds (herbicides), insects (insecticides), and diseases (fungicides). The Group’s biosolutions business focuses on the growing markets for biological stimulants, or biostimulants, innovative nutrition, and biological pesticide, or biocontrol, products. The Group operates in over 100 countries worldwide and has an expansive product portfolio, with over 3,600 product registrations in over 100 countries and approximately 950 patents worldwide.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively “the Group”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” and have been prepared using the same accounting policies as its annual consolidated financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (USD). All values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expensed during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of each subsidiary is the primary transactional currency for sales and cost of sales which is generally, but not exclusively, the local currency of its country of operations. Transactions in currencies other than each subsidiary’s functional currency are translated at the rate prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than each subsidiary’s functional currency are translated at the rate prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Differences arising from settlement and translation of monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in net income (loss).

The Group translates all assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries into their presentation currency, the USD, using the spot exchange rate at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated into USD at the average exchange rates for the period.

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Preparation (continued)

Exchange differences arising from translation of the financial statements of foreign operations and long term monetary items that are part of the Group’s net investment in foreign subsidiaries, or intercompany loans not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future, are recognized in other comprehensive income. These differences are presented as Currency Translation Reserve (“CTR”) as a component of equity. On disposal of the entire interest of a foreign operation, and on the partial disposal of an interest resulting in loss of control, significant influence and joint control, the cumulative amount of such exchange differences is reclassified to net income (loss) as part of gain (loss) on disposal of a foreign operation.

The Group reviews its intercompany loans to determine if the loans are likely to be repaid in the foreseeable future, and if not, are classified as a net investment in the Group’s foreign subsidiaries. During 2014, as part of a reorganization, certain intercompany loans have been classified as net investments as no repayment is planned in the foreseeable future and accordingly any related foreign currency difference is now recorded in other comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which replaces IAS 11 Construction Contracts , IAS 18 Revenue and related interpretations. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This guidance requires that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance shall be applied using one of two methods: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this statement recognized at the date of initial application. Management has not yet determined which method it will apply. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 9 Financial Instruments , which replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement . IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 9 provides guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, general hedge accounting and impairment. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IAS 32

These amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off” and the criteria for non-simultaneous settlement mechanisms of clearing houses to qualify for offsetting. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

IAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting—Amendments to IAS 39

These amendments provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative designated as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

IFRIC Interpretation 21 Levies

IFRIC 21 clarifies that a liability is recognized for a levy when the activity that triggers its payment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability should be anticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

2. Seasonality of Operations

The timing of the Group’s sales, profit and cash flows throughout the year is significantly influenced by seasonal factors. The inherent seasonal nature of the agriculture industry and the geographic spread of the Group’s products often result in significant variations in earnings and cash flow across fiscal quarters. Agrochemical and biosolutions sales typically begin ahead of the growing season and peak in the middle of the season. In the northern hemisphere, farmers purchase the majority of their crop inputs during the first half of the year. Growers in the southern hemisphere do the majority of their purchasing in the second half of the year. As a result, the Group has historically experienced significant fluctuations in quarterly sales, which have generally peaked in the fourth calendar quarter. The Group’s operating cash flows and working capital are impacted by the seasonal nature of the Group’s business as working capital requirements tend to peak in the first half of the year and decline thereafter until the fourth quarter. Typically, inventory builds in advance of the peak sales made in the second quarter and in the fourth quarter where it begins to increase again. The majority of the Group’s receivables come due in the period from May to October.

3. Segment Information

The operating segments of the Group for which discrete financial information is available are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Group is organized into six Reportable Segments: (1) Latin America, (2) Africa and Western Europe, (3) North America, (4) Japan and Central/Eastern Europe, (5) China, South Asia (“CSA”), Goemar and Life Sciences and (6) Corporate.

3. Segment Information (continued)

Segment sales, except Corporate, are based on the geographic location of customers. Corporate segment sales include certain provisions for rebates and sales returns held centrally and not allocated to other segments. Segment income is based on operating income before depreciation of property, plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, other operating income (expense), net, and other adjustments described below. Segment income includes items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items include adjustments allowed under existing credit agreement, which include but are not limited to restructuring costs, costs related to debt refinancing, sponsor payments, expenses related to mergers and acquisitions, unusual and non-recurring charges. The Group does not allocate assets and liabilities to reportable segments because such assets and liabilities are not regularly reviewed by the CEO, who is considered the chief operating decision maker, to make decisions about resource allocation and to assess performance.

5. Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) for the nine months attributable to ordinary equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the nine months as the Group has not issued any potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options or stock appreciation rights.

There have been no other transactions involving ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares between the reporting date and the date of authorization of these financial statements.

The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

8. Business Combinations

On March 25, 2014, the Group acquired 100% of the Laboratoires Goëmar group (“Goëmar”), a global manufacturer and supplier of innovative nutrition for plants based in Saint Malo, France. The Group will combine the Goëmar product portfolio, which includes Physio ActivatorTM and Natural Defense technologies, with the Group’s related products expanding Goëmar’s distribution capabilities.

The initial accounting for this acquisition, including the determination of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, has not been finalized as of the issuance date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Group has used the book value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed for the provisional purchase price accounting. The goodwill recognised does not give rise to any deduction for tax purposes.

The recognised identifiable assets and liabilities at March 25, 2014 were as follows:

(U.S. dollars in thousands)	Provisional
Cash and cash equivalents	$ 7,572
Trade receivables and other current assets	13,732
Non-current assets	8,675
Total assets	29,979
Liabilities	19,687
Total net assets	10,292
Goodwill arising on acquisition	$ 147,288

Transaction costs of $5.0 million include $2.3 million of debt issuance costs, which were offset against the carrying value of the debt and will be amortized over the life of the debt. The remaining transaction costs have been expensed and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Since acquisition, revenue and net income of Goëmar was $14.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively. If the Company had acquired Goëmar as of January 1, 2014, proforma consolidated revenues and proforma net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 would have been $1,073.6 million and $32.0 million, respectively.

In May 2013, the Group borrowed $1.64 billion under its First and Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreements (collectively its “First and Second Lien Term Loans”). The term loan under the Group’s First Lien Credit Facility of $1.15 billion was issued at LIBOR plus 3.5%, due May 2020, and the term loan under the Second Lien Credit Facility of $490.0 million was issued at LIBOR plus 7.0%, due November 2020.

On March 24, 2014, the Group borrowed an additional $175.0 million as an incremental term loan under its existing May 2013 $1.15 billion First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement issued at a discount to par at a price of 99.5% and bearing interest at LIBOR plus 3.5%, due May 2020. The Group used the proceeds from the additional borrowing for the acquisition of Goëmar as well as to fund general corporate purposes.

Additionally, the Group also has a revolving credit facility with a capacity to borrow $150.0 million.

Measurement of Fair Value

(1) Loan receivables

The fair value of long-term loans included in loan receivables is measured at the present value calculated by discounting each portion of receivables as sorted into certain periods, for the corresponding remaining maturity, using the interest rate with credit risk taken into consideration.

(2) Equity investments

The fair value of listed shares is measured on the basis of quoted prices as of the end of each reporting period.

The fair value of investments in unlisted shares is estimated using discounted future cash flows method, price comparison method, based on the prices of similar type of stocks and other valuation methods. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, the discount rate, credit risk and volatility. The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in management’s estimate of fair value for these unlisted equity investments.

(3) Debt

The fair value of debt is measured at present value calculated by discounting each future payment using the appropriate discount rate, which considers both the interest rate and the credit risk.

(4) Currency related derivatives

The fair value of currency related derivatives is mainly measured at the end of year based on the forward exchange rates.

(5) Interest rate related derivatives

The fair value of interest rate related derivatives is mainly measured at the present value calculated by discounting future cash flows by applying the appropriate rate as of the end of each reporting period.

15. Impairment of Intangible Assets

The Group assesses whether there are impairment indicators for intangible assets at each reporting date. If impairment indicators are present, recoverable amounts for such assets are calculated and impairment losses are assessed. The recoverable amounts are determined based on the value in use of the intangible assets.

These assumptions were management’s best estimates completed as part of its routine financial planning process, which obtains forecasts from each business unit and involves a comprehensive review of all relevant inputs and estimates. These forecasts considered past experiences, actual operating results, and external market information and were approved by the board of directors when these forecasts were completed. These assumptions can be subject to significant adjustment from factors such as macroeconomic factors impacting the general market, financial performance of new product registrations, and the Group’s ability to maintain or grow market share in primary markets.

Based on its analysis, using a pre-tax discount rate of 6%, the Group determined that the carrying value of certain product registration rights in North America were in excess of their recoverable amounts and accordingly recorded impairment losses, in respect of continuing operations, of $15.3 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The impairment losses were primarily due to lower expectations for the overall profitability and the expected discontinuation of the underlying product and were allocated exclusively to the North America reportable segment. The charges recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are recorded within Other Operating Expense in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Income Statement.

16. Subsequent event

On October 20, 2014, the Company’s immediate parent company Nalozo S.a.r.l. entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which Platform Specialty Products Corporation, a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PAH with headquarters in Delaware, USA (“Platform”), agreed to acquire the Group for approximately $3.51 billion, consisting of $2.91 billion in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments, and $600 million of new Series B convertible preferred stock of Platform. The acquisition of the Group is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions customary for a transaction of this type, including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and approvals of government authorities and antitrust authorities from certain non-U.S. jurisdictions.

The acquisition is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2015 and, if successfully completed, would trigger the vesting of the units in the Management Executive Plan that the Group has for its executive employees and the settlement of the obligation to repurchase certain non-voting shares beneficially owned by Jean-Pierre Princen, Chief Executive Officer of Laboratoires Goëmar, as described in note 21 to the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. No significant impact is expected to result from the above arrangements on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.

Exhibit 99.4

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On October 31, 2013, Platform Specialty Products Corporation (“Platform,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) indirectly acquired substantially all of the outstanding equity of MacDermid, Incorporated (“MacDermid”) for approximately $1.8 billion (including the assumption of approximately $754 million of indebtedness, consisting primarily of MacDermid’s first lien credit facility), plus (i) up to $100 million of contingent consideration tied to achieving certain EBITDA and stock trading price performance metrics over a seven year period following the closing of this acquisition and (ii) an interest in certain MacDermid pending litigation (the “MacDermid Acquisition”).

At the closing of the MacDermid Acquisition on October 31, 2013, we paid approximately $923 million in cash and issued approximately $100 million of new equity. The equity issued primarily consisted of shares of common stock of a then wholly-owned subsidiary of Platform that may be exchanged for shares of our common stock at future specified dates beginning one year after the closing. In addition, we acquired the remaining 3% of MacDermid in March 2014, pursuant to the terms of an Exchange Agreement, dated October 25, 2013, between us and the fiduciaries of the MacDermid, Incorporated Profit Sharing and Employee Savings Plan (the “401K Plan”). Most of the 401K Plan participants received shares of our common stock for their interests in MacDermid. We funded the cash portion of the purchase price and related transaction expenses with a combination of available cash on hand and approximately $137 million of proceeds from a warrant exchange offer.

On November 3, 2014, we completed the acquisition of certain legal entities and other assets and liabilities that comprise the Chemtura AgroSolutions business (“CAS”) of Chemtura Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Chemtura”) for approximately $1.04 billion, consisting of $990 million in cash, after certain post-closing working capital and other adjustments, plus 2,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “CAS Shares”) and the assumption of certain liabilities by Platform (the “CAS Acquisition”). We funded the cash portion of the purchase price and related transaction expenses of the CAS Acquisition with a combination of available cash on hand and borrowings under an increase in term loans of approximately $389 million (approximately $259 million of which is denominated in Euros), $60 million under the U.S. Dollar revolving credit facility and €55 million ($69 million based on the September 30, 2014 exchange rate of $1.26 per €1.00) under the multicurrency revolving credit facility pursuant to our credit agreement, as amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).

On October 20, 2014, we entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Arysta Acquisition Agreement”) pursuant to which we agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Arysta LifeScience Limited (“Arysta”) for approximately $3.51 billion, consisting of $2.91 billion of cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments, and $600 million of new Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Arysta Acquisition”). We currently expect to fund the cash portion of the purchase price and related transaction expenses of the Arysta Acquisition through a combination of available cash on hand, which includes, but is not limited to, the net proceeds from our underwritten registered public offering of 16,445,000 shares of our common stock completed on November 17, 2014 at a public offering price of $24.50 per share, raising gross proceeds of approximately $403 million (the “Public Offering”), a contemplated offering of an aggregate principal amount of $920 million of senior notes (the “Notes”), and $1.1 billion of borrowings under first lien incremental term loans (the “Incremental Term Debt”). The Notes offering is subject to market conditions and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the offering may be launched or completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering. To the extent we issue less than $920 million of Notes, we may make borrowings pursuant to a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) entered into on October 20, 2014 with Barclays Bank PLC, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC, Nomura Securities International, Inc., UBS AG, Stamford Branch and UBS Securities LLC (collectively, the “Commitment Parties”) for (i) up to $1.6 billion of first lien incremental term loans (the “Term Facility”) to be incurred under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and (ii) senior unsecured bridge loans (the “Senior Bridge Facility” and together with the Term Facility, the “Facilities” in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million, for the purposes of financing the proposed Arysta Acquisition and the fees and expenses in connection therewith, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. The Commitment Parties’ obligation to provide the Facilities is subject to a number of customary conditions precedent. Furthermore, we are under no obligation to borrow under the Facilities and we anticipate seeking a number of alternative financings for the proposed Arysta Acquisition in lieu of the Facilities, including, but not limited to, equity or debt offerings and other borrowings under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months and twelve months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 give effect to the MacDermid Acquisition, the CAS Acquisition and the Arysta Acquisition as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 gives effect to the CAS Acquisition and the proposed Arysta Acquisition as if they had been consummated on September 30, 2014.

References herein to “Predecessor 2013 Period” refer to the ten-month period from January 1, 2013 through October 31, 2013. References herein to “Successor 2013 Period” refer to the period from April 23, 2013 (inception) through December 31, 2013. References herein to “Predecessor 2013 Nine-Month Period” refer to the period from January 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013. References herein to “Successor 2014 Nine-Month Period” refer to the period from January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited combined and consolidated statement of operations of CAS and Arysta, respectively. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 (inclusive of both the Successor 2013 and Predecessor 2013 Periods) were derived from our consolidated statement of operations and the audited combined and consolidated statement of operations of CAS and Arysta, respectively. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014 has been calculated (i) for CAS and Arysta, by adding the unaudited nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the audited year ended December 31, 2013 and subtracting the unaudited nine months ended September 30, 2013 statement of operations, (ii) for Platform, by adding the unaudited Successor 2014 Nine-Month Period to the audited Successor 2013 Period and subtracting the unaudited period from April 23, 2013 (inception) to September 30, 2013, and (iii) for MacDermid, by subtracting the unaudited Predecessor 2013 Nine-Month Period from the audited Predecessor 2013 Period. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations and balance sheet do not reflect our acquisition of Percival S.A., including Percival S.A.’s agrochemical business, Agriphar, completed on October 1, 2014 (the “Agriphar Acquisition”) or the related financing, because the Agriphar Acquisition is not significant as defined by Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented below is not necessarily indicative of future results and should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, “CAS Management’s Discussion of Operations and Cash Flows” and “Arysta Management’s Discussion of Operations and Cash Flows,” CAS’s combined financial statements, Arysta’s consolidated financial statements and the respective notes thereto filed as exhibits to current reports on Form 8-K filed on January 12, 2015.

The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and include the following:

• The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the CAS balance sheet as shown below:

(in millions)
Current assets	$ 318
Identifiable intangible assets	435
Goodwill	379
Property, plant, and equipment	19
Other long-term assets	6
Total assets	$ 1,157
Current liabilities	74
Other liabilities	41
Total liabilities	$ 115
Total consideration	$ 1,042

• The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the Arysta balance sheet as shown below:

(in millions)
Current assets	$ 1,165
Identifiable intangible assets	1,610
Goodwill	1,867
Property, plant, and equipment	77
Other long-term assets	82
Total assets	$ 4,801
Current liabilities	573
Other liabilities	543
Total liabilities	$ 1,116
Noncontrolling interest	63
Total liabilities and noncontrolling interest	$ 1,179
Total consideration	$ 3,622

The Company has not completed the detailed valuations necessary to estimate the fair value of the assets and the liabilities acquired in the CAS Acquisition, the Arysta Acquisition, and the related allocations of purchase price. Additionally, a final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities acquired will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of CAS and Arysta that exist as of the dates of the CAS Acquisition, if and when completed and the Arysta Acquisition. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary and are subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. As the final valuations are performed, increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet amounts and their useful lives will result in adjustments, which may be material, to the balance sheet and/or the statement of operations.

Pro forma adjustments to historical financial information are subject to assumptions described in the notes following the unaudited pro forma financial statements. Management believes that these assumptions and adjustments are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances and are factually supported based on information currently available. The principal adjustments consist of the following:

• the completion of the MacDermid Acquisition, the CAS Acquisition, and the Arysta Acquisition for the statements of operations, and the completion of the CAS Acquisition and the Arysta Acquisition for the balance sheet, in each case because the MacDermid Acquisition is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014;

• borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement;

• the issuance of 25.5 million shares of common stock in the private placement completed on October 8, 2014 and November 6, 2014 of an aggregate of 16,060,960 shares and 9,404,064 shares, respectively, of our common stock at a price of $25.59 per share (the “October/November Private Placement”);

• the issuance of 16.4 million shares of common stock in the Public Offering;

• the anticipated financing related to the Arysta Acquisition in the form of the Notes issued in this offering and the Incremental Term Debt, which is backed by the financing available pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter (the “Bridge Financing”);

• the amendment to and assumption of MacDermid’s first lien credit facility for the MacDermid Acquisition and the amendment to such facility pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in connection with the CAS Acquisition; and

• an adjustment to the results of operations to remove Platform’s recording of a one-time, non-cash expense of approximately $172 million upon the closing of the MacDermid Acquisition, which represents the fair value of the founder preferred dividend rights at that time, as this will not have an ongoing impact on the statement of operations. Future dividends payable in common stock will be recorded in equity.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are for illustrative and informational purposes only and are not intended to represent, or be indicative of, what our financial position or results of operations would have been had the CAS Acquisition or the proposed Arysta Acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information also should not be relied upon as a representation of our future performance.

(1) The historical statement of operations of CAS presents cost of goods sold (excluding depreciation) of $206,821 as an operating expense. For purposes of this pro forma, this amount plus $5,830 of related depreciation is presented as cost of sales to present gross profit for the acquired business.

(2) Historical Arysta amounts presented in US GAAP presentation based upon its IFRS basis financial statements. Adjustments to convert the IFRS basis to US GAAP basis are included in the Arysta adjustments column.

(3) Platform anticipates financing a portion of the cash consideration for the Arysta Acquisition with the net proceeds of this offering and the Incremental Term Debt as reflected in this pro forma balance sheet. Platform also has Bridge Financing available; however, it believes it is unlikely that the Bridge Financing will be drawn upon. If Platform is unavailable to finance a portion of the cash consideration for Arysta as anticipated, the net loss to common shareholders on a pro forma basis may increase by up to approximately $15 million. The amount of loss is dependent on several factors, including the terms of the Bridge Financing and whether alternative sources of equity or debt financing are available.

(1) Historical Platform amounts included in the audited income statement of Platform reflects operations for the period from April 23, 2013 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013 (Successor Period).

(2) Historical MacDermid amounts included in the audited income statement of MacDermid reflects operations for the period from January 1, 2013 through October 31, 2013, date of acquisition by Platform (Predecessor Period).

(3) The historical statement of operations of CAS presents cost of goods sold (excluding depreciation) of $275,106 as an operating expense. For purposes of this pro forma, this amount plus $7,567 of related depreciation is presented as cost of sales to present gross profit for the acquired business.

(4) Historical Arysta amounts presented in US GAAP presentation based upon its IFRS basis financial statements. Adjustments to convert the IFRS basis to US GAAP basis are included in the Arysta adjustments column.

(5) Platform anticipates financing a portion of the cash consideration for the Arysta Acquisition with the net proceeds of this offering and the Incremental Term Debt as reflected in this pro forma balance sheet. Platform also has Bridge Financing available; however, it believes it is unlikely that the Bridge Financing will be drawn upon. If Platform is unavailable to finance a portion of the cash consideration for Arysta as anticipated, the net loss to common shareholders on a pro forma basis may increase by up to approximately $20 million. The amount of loss is dependent on several factors, including the terms of the Bridge Financing and whether alternative sources of equity or debt financing are available.

The tax rate applied of 30% is based upon historical and estimated future effective tax rates.

MacDermid Adjustments

MA Reflects elimination of manufacturer’s profit in inventory adjustment in connection with the MacDermid Acquisition.

MB Reflects incremental depreciation expense in connection with fair value increases to fixed assets resulting from the MacDermid Acquisition.

MC Reflects elimination of stock based compensation expense for director options that vested upon closing of the MacDermid Acquisition.

MD Reflects elimination of Predecessor stock based compensation expense for awards that vested upon closing of the MacDermid Acquisition.

ME Reflects elimination of non-recurring MacDermid acquisition-related expenses, including but not limited to financial advisory, legal and accounting fees.

MF Reflects elimination of recorded amortization expenses on MacDermid’s intangible assets.

MG Reflects amortization expense associated with the estimated fair value of the intangible assets of MacDermid based on an outside valuation by a third party obtained by Platform subsequent to closing as follows:

(In thousands) Intangible Assets	Estimated Fair Value	Annual Amortization
Trade names-indefinite lives	$ 70,800	$ —
Technology (7-10 years)	$ 164,200	$ 19,800
Customer relationships (8-20 years)	$ 494,000	$ 37,700

Annual amortization is calculated as estimated fair value divided by the calculated life of the related asset.

MH Reflects Platform’s recording of a one-time, non-cash expense of $172 million upon the closing of the MacDermid Acquisition, which represents the fair value of the founder preferred share dividend rights at that time. As this will not have an ongoing impact on the statement of operations, it is presented as an adjustment in the pro forma statements of operations. This estimate was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation that simulates the daily price of shares over the potential dividend period with an estimate of volatility and interest to arrive at an estimated fair value of future dividend payments as of October 31, 2013.

MI Reflects the elimination of recorded interest expense at MacDermid for indebtedness not assumed at closing.

MJ Reflects interest expense related to indebtedness assumed in the MacDermid Acquisition comprised of the following:

• Interest on the first lien debt of $753 million at a rate of approximately 4% based on the terms of the credit agreement. Such interest rate is based on an applicable margin of 3% applied to a LIBOR floor of 1% and is variable in nature. The pre-tax effect of a 1/8% change effective interest rate would be $0.9 million annually.

• Amortization of deferred financing fees of $1.8 million for the first lien term debt over the five year life of the loan.

• Interest on other assumed indebtedness ($44,000 of interest annually).

MK Reflects income tax benefit (expense) related to the income (loss) before income taxes, non-controlling interests, and accrued payment-in-kind dividends on cumulative preferred shares generated by the pro forma adjustments. The tax rate applied is based upon the estimated applicable statutory tax rates. The Company’s estimated United States statutory tax rate of approximately 38% was applied to interest expense in the United States, where the debt resides as well as to the portion of acquisition costs which were incurred in the United States and to stock compensation. Additionally, the applicable blended rates were applied to inventory, amortization, depreciation, and Predecessor stock compensation.

ML Reflects the non-controlling interest represented by equity interests in a subsidiary of Platform provided as a portion of the consideration of the MacDermid Acquisition. Such equity interest represents 6.76% of MacDermid multiplied by the pro forma MacDermid pro forma adjustments excluding the adjustments in Note MD, ME, and MH that relate to Platform expenses.

MM Reflects the elimination of dividends paid to sellers for an equity interest which has been repaid and eliminated in conjunction with the MacDermid Acquisition.
