Allergan Announces Early Tender Results and Upsizing of Tender Offers by Certain Subsidiaries

DUBLIN, May 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergan plc (NYSE: AGN) today announced the early tender results for the previously announced tender offers commenced by its wholly owned subsidiaries Allergan Funding SCS, Allergan Finance LLC, Forest Laboratories, LLC and Allergan, Inc., each as co-offeror with Allergan plc's wholly owned subsidiary Warner Chilcott Limited, to purchase for cash certain debt securities issued by the entities listed in the table below (collectively, the "Securities" and each a "series").

As of the previously announced early tender date and time of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 23, 2017 (the "Early Tender Date"), according to information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the tender and information agent for the tender offers, the aggregate principal amount of each series of Securities set forth in the table below under "Principal Amount Tendered at Early Tender Date" has been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the tender offers. Withdrawal rights for the Securities expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 23, 2017.

In addition, the applicable Offerors (as defined in the Tender Offer Documents, as defined below) have amended the tender offers to increase certain of the maximum tender subcaps set forth in the table above (each subcap set forth in the table, a "Maximum Tender SubCap") and the aggregate maximum tender cap identified in the Tender Offer Documents (the "Aggregate Maximum Tender Cap") as follows: (i) the previously announced Maximum Tender SubCap for the 4.625% notes due October 2042 has been increased from $400,000,000 to $543,290,000, (ii) the previously announced Maximum Tender SubCap for the 4.375% notes due February 2019 has been increased from $420,000,000 to $700,000,000, (iii) the previously announced Maximum Tender SubCap for the 4.750% notes due March 2045 has been increased from $1,000,000,000 to $ 1,300,000,000, and (iv) the Aggregate Maximum Tender Cap has been increased from $2,000,000,000 to $2,843,290,000.  All other terms of the tender offers as previously announced remain unchanged.

The tender offers consist of offers on the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated May 10, 2017, and the related letter of transmittal (as they may each be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Tender Offer Documents"), including a financing condition that Allergan Funding SCS shall have issued and sold debt securities providing net proceeds at least equal to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Cap.  The Offerors refer investors to the Tender Offer Documents for the complete terms and conditions of the tender offers.

Because the aggregate principal amount of each of the 4.875% notes due February 2021, the 4.375% notes due February 2019 and the 4.750% notes due March 2045 tendered and not validly withdrawn would exceed the applicable Maximum Tender SubCap, the applicable Offeror will not accept for purchase all the applicable Securities that have been tendered. Rather, the applicable Offeror will accept Securities of each applicable series for purchase on a prorated basis, using a proration rate of approximately 53.5% for the 4.875% notes due February 2021, of approximately 73.5% for the 4.375% notes due February 2019 and of approximately 66.5% for the 4.750% notes due March 2045.  The applicable Offeror will accept for purchase the aggregate principal amount of Securities tendered by a holder multiplied by the applicable proration rate and then rounded down to the nearest $1,000 increment. The applicable Offerors will accept all of the 4.625% notes due October 2042 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date.

The applicable consideration (the "Total Consideration") offered per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable tender offer will be determined in the manner described in the Tender Offer Documents by reference to the applicable fixed spread for such Securities specified in the table above plus the applicable yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 24, 2017. The Offerors expect to announce the pricing of the tender offers on May 24, 2017.

Only holders of Securities who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Securities at or prior to the Early Tender Date are eligible to receive the Total Consideration for Securities accepted for purchase. Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the date the applicable Offerors make payment for such Securities.

Allergan Funding SCS expects to satisfy the financing condition upon the closing of its previously announced proposed offer of senior notes, expected to occur on May 26, 2017.  The applicable Offerors expect to make payment for the Securities that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase on May 30, 2017.

Since the tender offers are fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Date, unless the applicable Offerors further increase one or more Maximum Tender SubCaps prior to the expiration date (with a corresponding additional increase to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Cap), no Securities tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted pursuant to the tender offers.  Since the Aggregate Maximum Tender Cap is met with the acceptance of Securities in priority level 4, unless the applicable Offerors further increase the Aggregate Maximum Tender Cap, no Securities in priority levels 5, 6, 7 or 8 will be accepted.
