CAPITALIZATION

Tysabri Transaction

On February 6, 2013, Elan Corporation, plc (“Elan”) announced that it had agreed to transfer to Biogen Idec International Holding Ltd., an affiliate of Biogen Idec Inc. (“Biogen Idec”), all of Elan’s interest in the intellectual property and other assets related to the development, manufacture and commercialization of Tysabri (the “Tysabri Transaction”). Upon closing of the Tysabri Transaction, which occurred on April 2, 2013, Elan received an upfront cash payment of $3.25 billion, together with the following royalties on worldwide net sales of Tysabri:

 

   

12% of worldwide net sales of Tysabri for the twelve months beginning May 1, 2013;

and thereafter

 

   

18% of worldwide annual net sales of Tysabri up to $2 billion; and

 

   

25% of worldwide annual net sales of Tysabri exceeding $2 billion.

Upon closing of the Tysabri Transaction, the then existing collaboration arrangements with Biogen Idec, whereby worldwide Tysabri profits were split 50/50, terminated and Biogen Idec assumed sole authority over, and exclusive worldwide rights to, the development, manufacturing and commercialization of Tysabri.

Share Repurchases

On March 8, 2013, Elan commenced a tender offer, by way of a modified “Dutch Auction,” to purchase up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding ordinary shares, including ordinary shares represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), with a price range between $11.25 and $13.00. On April 18, 2013, Elan announced that it had accepted for purchase approximately 88.9 million ordinary shares, representing 14.8% of Elan’s then outstanding ordinary shares, at a price of $11.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 billion (the “First Share Repurchase”). Immediately following the consummation of the First Share Repurchase, Elan had outstanding approximately 510 million ordinary shares.

On May 20, 2013, Elan announced its intention to institute a second share repurchase program (the “Second Share Repurchase”, together with the First Share Repurchase, the “Share Repurchases”), whereby Elan would use up to $200 million of its available cash resources, including the net proceeds of this offering, to repurchase shares with the method to be detailed at a future date.

Debt Redemption

On April 2, 2013, Elan announced that it had issued an irrevocable notice of redemption to redeem all of the $600 million in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 6.25% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) (the “Debt Redemption”). The total redemption payment on the 2019 Notes was $706.7 million plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption was completed on May 2, 2013. In connection with the redemption, Elan will record a net charge on debt retirement of approximately $119 million in the second quarter of 2013, including a non-cash write-off of approximately $11 million related to unamortized deferred financing costs.

Debt Offering

On May 20, 2013, Elan announced that its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Elan Finance public limited company and Elan Finance Corp., intended to offer, subject to market conditions, $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) (the “Debt Offering”). The Notes will be offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the

Theravance Transaction

On May 12, 2013, Elan entered into a royalty participation agreement pursuant to which Elan will purchase a participation interest in potential future royalty payments related to four respiratory programs partnered by Theravance, Inc. (“Theravance”) with Glaxo Group Limited (“Glaxo”): RELVAR ELLIPTA/BREO ELLIPTA, ANORO ELLIPTA, MABA (Bifunctional Muscarinic Antagonist-Beta2 Agonist) monotherapy (GSK961081 or “MABA ‘081”), and vilanterol (“VI”) monotherapy, each of which is a treatment or a potential treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”) or asthma. Under the terms of the participation agreement, Elan will make a one-time cash payment of $1.0 billion to Theravance in exchange for a 21% participation interest in the potential future royalty payments from the four programs earned by Theravance when, as and if received (the “Theravance Transaction”).

ELND005 (scyllo-inositol) Disposition

On May 19, 2013 Elan, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Elan Pharma International Limited (“EPIL”), entered into a transaction agreement with Nerano Pharma Limited (“Nerano”) (the “ELND005 Agreement”), pursuant to which Elan agreed to transfer (the “ELND005 Disposition”) the intellectual property and other assets related to ELND005 (scyllo-inositol) to a newly-formed company, Speranza Biopharma Limited (“Speranza”). Pursuant to the ELND005 Agreement, Elan will also transfer the Collaboration Agreement with Transition Therapeutics, Inc. (“Transition”) to Speranza. Elan has agreed to contribute $63.0 million to Speranza, which may only be used to fund the ELND005 business, and to advance a further $7.0 million to Speranza as a 10 year interest free loan. Nerano will also extend a $20.0 million 10 year interest free loan to Speranza. Pursuant to the ELND005 Agreement, EPIL will retain liabilities and claims relating to the ELND005 business arising prior to the closing of the transaction and Speranza will assume liabilities and claims relating to the ELND005 business arising after the closing of the transaction. Elan will also remain responsible for up to $3.0 million in retention bonuses or severance payments made by Speranza within 18 months of the ELND005 Disposition.

Pursuant to the ELND005 Agreement, Elan will receive royalty payments in the amount of 3% of worldwide sales of all ELND005 products (the “ELND0005 Royalty”) (subject to reduction in the case of generic competition and other limited circumstances) as well as an option to receive exclusive commercialization rights to ELND005 products in certain territories (the “Option Territories”). Elan may also receive two one-time $200.0 million milestone payments on the occurrence of each of the following events: (i) any sale, transfer or other disposal of the Speranza Group or all or substantially all of its business (which milestone will be subject to a deduction for all future milestone payments paid to Transition by Speranza, the maximum amount of which would be $93 million); and (ii) attainment by the Speranza Group of worldwide annual net income of $1.5 billion.

AOP Acquisition

On May 19, 2013, Elan and SASR Neunundvierzigste Beteiligungsverwaltung GmbH (“SASR”), a newly formed subsidiary of Elan, entered into a share purchase agreement for its pending purchase of AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals Aktiengesellschaft (“AOP”) (the “AOP Acquisition”). AOP researches, develops, produces and distributes innovative drugs and administration methods for rare diseases. AOP focuses on haematology and oncology, cardiology and pulmonology, neurology and psychiatry, and metabolic and genetic disorders.

AOP is currently a privately owned company and is controlled by its founder and chief executive officer, Dr. Rudolf Stefan Widmann. AOP is based in Austria with a significant presence in Central and Eastern Europe.

The consideration payable under the AOP share purchase agreement consists of an initial purchase price of €263.5 million (approximately $338.3 million), composed of €175.7 million (approximately $225.6 million) in cash and €87.8 million (approximately $112.7 million) of Elan ordinary shares, each deliverable at closing. There are also potential post-close milestone payments of up to €270 million (approximately $346.7 million) that will become payable by Elan on the advancement of certain clinical programs to filing and regulatory acceptance.
