(1) The Pool 1 Maximum Amount of $1,550,000,000 represents the maximum aggregate purchase price in respect of Pool 1 Notes that will be purchased in the Pool 1 Tender Offers. The Pool 2 Maximum Amount of $250,000,000 (equivalent) represents the maximum aggregate purchase price in respect of Pool 2 Notes that will be purchased in the Pool 2 Tender Offers. The Pool 3 Maximum Amount of $200,000,000 (equivalent) represents the maximum aggregate purchase price in respect of Pool 3 Notes that will be purchased in the Pool 3 Tender Offers. The Pool Tender Caps can be increased or decreased at Teva’s sole discretion, and in each case are exclusive of Accrued Interest.
(2) Subject to the Total Maximum Amount, the Pool Tender Caps and proration, the principal amount of each series of Notes that is purchased in each of the Offers will be determined in accordance with the applicable acceptance priority level (in numerical priority order) specified in this column. Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will also be accepted for purchase in priority to Notes tendered thereafter.
(3) Excludes accrued and unpaid interest, which will also be paid.
(4) The Tender Offer Consideration in respect of the Notes of each relevant series will equal the applicable Total Consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium.
(5) The Total Consideration in respect of the Pool 3 Notes of each relevant series shall be calculated from the applicable Reference Yield and the applicable Fixed Spread and which, when calculated in such manner, already includes the applicable Early Tender Premium. The applicable Total Consideration will be calculated with reference to the First Par Call Date, as detailed in the Offer to Purchase.
(6) Such amount already includes the Early Tender Premium.
(7) Pricing Source: BGN.
The Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated (as it may be extended or earlier terminated, the “Expiration Time”). Tenders of Notes may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Monday, June 2, 2025, but may not be withdrawn thereafter, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law. Holders of the Notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Monday, June 2, 2025 (the “Early Tender Time”) and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable “Total Consideration,” which already includes an early tender premium of $50.00 per $1,000 or €50.00 per €1,000, as applicable, purchase price of the Notes accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”). With respect to the Pool 3 Notes, the Total Consideration payable for each series of Pool 3 Notes will be a price for each $1,000 or €1,000 purchase price of such series of Notes (subject in each case to the Minimum Authorized Denomination (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) of the relevant series of Notes), as applicable, validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offers at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase by the Teva (subject to the applicable Acceptance Priority Levels (as defined below) and to proration, if any) that shall be equal to an amount, calculated in accordance with the respective formulas described in Schedules A-1 or A-2 of the Offer to Purchase, as applicable (rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent rounded upwards) that would reflect, as of the Initial Settlement Date (as defined below), a yield to the First Par Call Date equal to the sum (with such sum being converted from an annual to a semi-annual basis, in the case of the Priority 5 Notes only) of (a) the Reference Yield for such series of Notes at 10:30 a.m. (Eastern time) on June 3, 2025 (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Price Determination Date”) plus (b) the fixed spread applicable to such series as set forth in the table above, exclusive of accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from, and including, the last interest payment date for such series of Notes to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. The applicable Reference Yield will be calculated in accordance with standard market practice (rounded to 3 decimal points) and will correspond to:
- for the Dollar Notes, the yield corresponding to the bid-side price of the applicable Reference Security as displayed on the applicable reference page/screen (the “Reference Page”) set forth in table above; and
- for the Euro Notes, the 2029 Euro Notes Interpolated Mid-Swap Rate (as defined in the Offer to Purchase),
in each case as of the applicable Price Determination Date.
If the Dealer Managers determine that any Reference Page is not operational or is displaying inaccurate information at that time, the bid-side price of the applicable Reference Security or the applicable Interpolated Mid-Swap Rate, as applicable, determined at or around the Price Determination Date shall be determined by such other means as the Company, in consultation with the Dealer Managers, may consider to be appropriate under the circumstances.
Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes following the Early Tender Time, but at or prior to the Expiration Time, will receive the “Tender Offer Consideration,” namely the applicable Total Consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium.
Each Holder whose Notes are tendered and accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from, and including, the last applicable interest payment date up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. Teva may, at Teva’s option, elect for the payment of the Total Consideration plus accrued and unpaid interest for Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase to be made following the Early Tender Time but before the Expiration Time (such date, the “Initial Settlement Date”). Teva expects to have an Initial Settlement Date, and assuming that the conditions to the Offers are satisfied or waived, such Initial Settlement Date may be as early as three business days after the Early Tender Time, or Thursday, June 5, 2025. Payment of the Tender Offer Consideration plus accrued and unpaid interest for Notes that are validly tendered following the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase, and, if Teva does not elect to have an Initial Settlement Date, payment of the Total Consideration plus accrued and unpaid interest for Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase, will be made promptly following the Expiration Time (such date, the “Final Settlement Date” and, together with the Initial Settlement Date, each a “Settlement Date”). Assuming that the conditions to the Offers are satisfied or waived, Teva expects that the Final Settlement Date will be Friday, June 20, 2025, the second business day after the Expiration Time. No tenders submitted after the Expiration Time will be valid.
The purchase price for Dollar Notes and Euro Notes will be paid in U.S. Dollars and Euros, respectively. To determine whether the Total Maximum Amount and the Pool Tender Caps (defined below) have been reached, we will convert the applicable purchase price payable or nominal amounts (as applicable) with respect to the Euro Notes validly tendered into U.S. Dollars using the applicable exchange rates, as of 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the Early Tender Time, as reported on the Bloomberg screen page “BFIX” under the heading “EUR/USD Fixings” (or, if such screen is unavailable, a generally recognized source for currency quotations selected by the Dealer Managers with quotes as of a time as close as reasonably possible to the aforementioned).
The amounts of each series of Notes that are purchased will be determined in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels specified in the table above and on the cover page of the Offer to Purchase (the “Acceptance Priority Level”), with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 6 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level, provided that we will only accept for purchase Notes with an aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued interest) up to the Total Maximum Amount. In addition, no more than $1,550,000,000 aggregate purchase price of the Pool 1 Notes, no more than $250,000,000 (equivalent) aggregate purchase price of the Pool 2 Notes and no more than $200,000,000 (equivalent) aggregate purchase price of the Pool 3 Notes will be purchased in the Offers (such aggregate purchase prices, the “Pool Tender Caps”). The Total Maximum Amount and the Pool Tender Caps may be increased or decreased by Teva in its sole discretion.
Subject to the Total Maximum Amount, Pool Tender Caps and the proration arrangements applicable to the Offers, all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Early Tender Time having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any Notes tendered at or before the Early Tender Time having a lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted in the Offers, and all Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time having a lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted in the Offers. However, even if the Offers are not fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Time, subject to the Total Maximum Amount and the Pool Tender Caps, Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase in priority to other Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time even if such Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender Time.
Acceptances for tenders of Notes of a series may be subject to proration if (a) the aggregate purchase price (exclusive of accrued and unpaid interest) of the Notes of a series validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the applicable Pool Tender Cap to be exceeded, or (b) the aggregate purchase price (exclusive of accrued and unpaid interest) for any relevant series of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Total Maximum Amount to be exceeded. Furthermore, if the Offers are fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Time, Holders who validly tender Notes following the Early Tender Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase.
Teva’s obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set out in the Offer to Purchase, including the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Transaction. Teva reserves the right to (i) waive any and all conditions to an Offer with respect to one or more series of Notes; (ii) extend or terminate an Offer with respect to one or more series of Notes at any time; (iii) increase or decrease the Total Maximum Amount; (iv) increase or decrease the Pool Tender Caps; or (v) otherwise amend an Offer with respect to one or more series of Notes in any respect, in each case, subject to applicable law and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
