9.5% Non-Recourse Notes Due 2035

On February 21, 2020, Theravance Biopharma R&D, Inc. (“Theravance R&D”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Triple Royalty Sub II LLC (the “Issuer II”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Theravance Biopharma R&D, entered into certain note purchase agreements (“Note Purchase Agreements”) with certain note purchasers (“Note Purchasers”), relating to the private placement by Issuer II of $400.0 million 9.5% Fixed Rate Term Notes due on or before 2035 (the “Non-Recourse 2035 Notes”). Ninety-five percent of the Non-Recourse 2035 Notes were sold to the Note Purchasers pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements. The remaining 5% of the Non-Recourse 2035 Notes (the “Retained Notes”) were retained by the Company to comply with Regulation RR — Credit Risk Retention (17 C.F.R. Part 246) and eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Non-Recourse 2035 Notes were secured by all of Issuer II’s right, title and interest as a holder of certain membership interests in TRC. TRC held the right to receive upward-tiering royalties ranging from 6.5% to 10% on worldwide net sales of TRELEGY, and, prior to the closing of the TRC Transaction (see “Note 9. Sale of Equity Interests in Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC and Discontinued Operations”), the Company held an 85% economic interest in TRC. In the event that the distributions received by the Issuer II from TRC in a quarter were less than the interest accrued for that quarter, the principal amount of the Non-Recourse 2035 Notes increased by the interest shortfall amount for that quarter.

In connection with the TRC Transaction, the Company redeemed the outstanding Non-Recourse 2035 Notes on July 20, 2022 and paid certain other fees and expenses in conjunction with that redemption. The total repayment was comprised of $400.0 million of net principal, $4.7 million of accrued interest, an early redemption premium fee of $20.0 million, and $0.2 million of transaction costs. The $400.0 million of net principal included $30.7 million of issuance-to-date net interest shortfall. The repayments resulted in a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $24.0 million, which was included within discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The loss on extinguishment of debt was calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the Non-Recourse 2035 Notes and the amounts paid to redeem the Non-Recourse 2035 Notes.

3.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2023

In November 2016, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $230.0 million of 3.25% convertible senior notes, due 2023 (the "Convertible Senior 2023 Notes") for net proceeds of $222.5 million. The Company incurred $7.5 million in debt issuance costs, which were being amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes. The Convertible Senior 2023 Notes bore an annual interest rate of 3.25%, payable semi-annually in arrears, on November 1 and May 1 of each year.

On July 26, 2022, subsequent to the closing of the TRC Transaction, the Company launched a tender offer to retire the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes (the “2023 Notes Tender Offer”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2023 Notes Tender Offer, the Company paid all accrued and unpaid interest on the purchased Convertible Senior 2023 Notes from and including the last interest payment date of May 1, 2022 up to, but not including, the settlement date for the 2023 Notes Tender Offer. The 2023 Notes Tender Offer expired on August 23, 2022 (the “Expiration Time”). As of the Expiration Time, $230.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes, representing 100% of the outstanding Convertible Senior 2023 Notes, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the 2023 Notes Tender Offer. The Company accepted for purchase all of the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes and settled the 2023 Notes Tender Offer on August 25, 2022.

Total payments made by the Company under the 2023 Notes Tender Offer included $230.0 million of principal, $2.4 million of accrued interest, and $1.6 million of transaction costs. The repayments resulted in a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.0 million, which is included within “loss on extinguishment of debt” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The loss on extinguishment of debt was calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes and the amounts paid to settle the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes.
