(NYSE and TASE: TEVA) (“Teva”) announced today its intention to issue senior notes through its special purpose finance subsidiaries. Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Netherlands II B.V. (“Teva Finance II”) intends to offer EUR-denominated Senior Notes (the “Euro Notes”) and Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Netherlands III B.V.

(“Teva Finance IV” and, together with Teva Finance II and Teva Finance III, the “Issuers”) intend to offer USD-denominated Senior Notes (the “USD Notes” and, together with the Euro Notes, the “Notes”).

The offering of Notes is subject to, among other things, market conditions. Teva expects to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, (i) to fund the redemptions of certain existing notes as further set out below (the “Conditional Redemptions”), (ii) to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith and (iii) to the extent of any remaining proceeds, for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of outstanding debt upon maturity, tender offer or earlier redemption.

In connection with the Conditional Redemptions, Teva intends to issue notices of conditional redemption pursuant to which it intends to redeem in accordance with the terms set forth in the relevant indentures: (i) all of the 6.750% Senior Notes due 2028 that are outstanding, (ii) all of the 7.875% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2029 that are outstanding, (iii) all of the 7.375% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2029 that are outstanding, (iv) up to $450,000,000 in principal amount of 4.750% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2027 and (v) up to €1,250,000,000 in principal amount of 4.375% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2030. The Conditional Redemptions are expected to be conditioned on the consummation of the offering. The offering, however, is not conditioned on the Conditional Redemptions. Teva may, in its sole discretion, decide to issue additional notices of conditional redemption and redeem certain of its other outstanding notes, or to amend the principal amounts to be redeemed under any of the foregoing notices, in each case in accordance with the terms set forth in the relevant indentures pursuant to which such notes were issued, although it is under no obligation to do so.

Net proceeds may be temporarily invested pending application for their stated purpose.

The Notes will be unsecured senior obligations of the Issuers and will be unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by Teva.

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Consequently, no disclosure document required by DISC for offering or selling, or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and, therefore, offering or selling, or distributing the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the DISC and the Consumer Composite Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024.
