Haleon plc Announces Expiration and Results of Exchange Offers for
 
Certain Series of Notes Issued in Private Placements in Connection with the Separation from GSK
 
London, United Kingdom - Haleon plc ("Haleon") (LSE: HLN, NYSE: HLN) today announced the expiration and final results of its previously announced offers to exchange seven series of outstanding unregistered notes issued by GSK Consumer Healthcare Capital US LLC (the "US Issuer") and GSK Consumer Healthcare Capital UK plc (the "UK Issuer", and together with the US Issuer, the "Issuers") (as set out below), which was launched on September 29, 2022, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into at the time of the original issuance of the notes.
 
 
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal dated September 29, 2022 (the "Exchange Offer Documents"), Haleon offered to exchange in seven concurrent, but separate, offers (the "Exchange Offers") any and all of the seven series of notes identified under "Title of Series of Original Notes" in the table below (collectively, the "Original Notes"), for a like principal amount of notes of the same series that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as described under "Title of Series of Exchange Notes" in the table below (collectively, the "Exchange Notes").
 
The Exchange Offers expired at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on October 28, 2022 (the "Expiration Date"). The "Settlement Date" with respect to the Exchange Offers will be promptly following the Expiration Date and is expected to be November 2, 2022. Upon the settlement of the Exchange Offers, holders of Original Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw such notes prior to the Expiration Date will receive a like principal amount of Exchange Notes of the applicable series.
 
The terms of each series of Exchange Notes to be issued upon the settlement of the Exchange Offers are substantially identical to the terms of the corresponding Original Notes of such series, except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, the special mandatory redemption provisions and registration rights applicable to the Original Notes will not apply to the Exchange Notes. As previously disclosed, the sole purpose of the Exchange Offers was to offer the holders of the Original Notes the opportunity to receive Exchange Notes that have been registered under the Securities Act and are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
 
A Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the "Registration Statement") relating to the issuance of the Exchange Notes was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on September 29, 2022 and declared effective on October 27, 2022. The Exchange Offers were made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a prospectus filed with the SEC dated as of October 27, 2022 (as the same may be amended or supplemented, the "Prospectus"), which forms part of the Registration Statement.

The New 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 (the "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 (EU) 2014/65 (as amended, "MiFID II") or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97(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. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling of the New Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
 
Any offer of the New Notes in any member state of the EEA will be made pursuant to an exemption under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the "Prospectus Regulation") from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of securities. This press release is not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation.
 
The New 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 United Kingdom (the "UK"). For these purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of the following: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (as amended, the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
 
Any offer of the New Notes in the UK will be made pursuant to an exemption under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of EUWA (the "UK Prospectus Regulation") from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of securities. This press release is not a prospectus for the purposes of the UK Prospectus Regulation.
 
In the United Kingdom, this press release is being distributed only to, and is directed only at (i) persons who have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended, the "Order"), and/or (ii) high net worth companies (or persons to whom it may otherwise be lawfully communicated) falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (all such persons together referred to as "relevant persons"). This press release must not be acted on or relied on in the United Kingdom by persons who are not relevant persons. In the United Kingdom, any investment or investment activity to which this press release relates is only available to, and will be engaged in with, relevant persons only.
 
 
Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements
 
 
Certain statements contained in this announcement are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements" (including for purposes of the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements give Haleon's current expectations and projections about future events, including strategic initiatives and future financial condition and performance, and so actual results may differ materiality from what is expressed or implied by the statements. These statements sometimes use words such as "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "targets", "plans", "intends", "aims", "projects", "estimates", "indicates", "may", "might", "will", "should", "potential", "could" and other words of similar meaning (or the negative thereof). These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical or current facts. In particular, these include, but are not limited to, statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, dividend payments and financial results and Haleon's performance as independent company following the demerger.
 
Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Haleon speak only as of the date they are made and are based upon the knowledge and information available to Haleon on the date of this announcement. These statements and views may be based on a number of assumptions and, by their nature, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future and/or are beyond Haleon's control or precise estimate. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those discussed under 'Risk Factors' in the Prospectus and any impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Subject to our obligations under English and U.S. law in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
