Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA) (“Teva”) announced today that it successfully upsized its offering and priced approximately $2,490,000,000 (equivalent) of its sustainability-linked senior notes (the “Notes”). The principal amount of the offering was increased from the previously announced offering size of $2,060,000,000 (equivalent) and the maximum tender amount of Teva’s previously announced debt tender offer was increased from $2,250,000,000 to $2,500,000,000. Teva expects to use the net proceeds from the offerings (i) to fund the announced tender offers to purchase, for cash, its 7.125% Senior Notes due 2025, 6.000% Senior Notes due 2025, 4.500% Senior Notes due 2025, 2.800% Senior Notes due 2023, 6.000% Senior Notes due 2024 and 3.150% Senior Notes due 2026 for a maximum combined aggregate purchase price (exclusive of accrued and unpaid interest) of up to $2,500,000,000 (as it may be amended prior to expiration thereof), (ii) to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith and (iii) to the extent of any remaining proceeds, the repayment of outstanding debt upon maturity, tender offer or earlier redemption. Net proceeds may be temporarily invested pending application for their stated purpose.

This is Teva’s second offering of Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes. The transaction demonstrates Teva’s continued strong commitment to sustainable finance and is tied to targets that include improving access to Teva’s portfolio of medicines in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and reducing Teva’s absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
