The final consideration is subject to a normal adjustment of net working capital. According to Harris E. DeLoach, Jr., Sonoco chairman and chief executive officer, the acquisition of Tegrant is the largest in Sonoco's history and will create a North American leader in multimaterial protective packaging. Tegrant is projected to generate 2011 sales of approximately $440 million. When combined, Sonoco is projected to generate sales of approximately $5.0 billion in 2012. The transaction is expected to be accretive to Sonoco's 2012 pro forma earnings by approximately $.10 per diluted share, including estimated adjustments for purchase accounting and approximately $11 million of expected synergies, when fully realized. The total purchase consideration, adjusted for expected tax benefits, is approximately 6.8 times Tegrant's estimated pro forma 2011 EBITDA of approximately $74 million1, including synergies.
