The “Issuer” refers to Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc., the issuer of the outstanding notes and the exchange notes.

Our Company
We are the leading global provider of development solutions and advanced delivery technologies for drugs, biologics and consumer health products. Through our extensive capabilities and deep expertise in product development, we help our customers bring more products to market, faster. Our advanced delivery technology platforms, the broadest and most diverse combination of intellectual property and proven formulation, manufacturing and regulatory expertise available to the industry, enable our customers to introduce more products and better treatments to the market. Across both development and delivery, our commitment to reliably supply our customers’ needs serves as the foundation for the value we provide. We operate through four businesses: Development & Clinical Services, Softgel Technologies, Modified Release Technologies, and Medication Delivery Solutions. We believe that through our prior and ongoing investments in growth-enabling capacity and capabilities, our entry into new markets, our ongoing focus on operational and quality excellence, our innovation activities, the sales of existing customer products, and the introduction of new customer products, we will continue to benefit from attractive margins in and realize the growth potential from these areas.
We have extensive relationships with industry-leading customers. In fiscal 2012, we did business with 83 of the top 100 global pharmaceutical marketers, and 41 of the top 50 biotechnology marketers. Selected key customers include Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly, Merck, Novartis and Roche. We have many long-standing relationships with our customers, particularly in advanced delivery technologies, where a prescription pharmaceutical product relationship will often last for nearly two decades, extending from mid-clinical development through the end of the product’s life cycle. We serve customers who require innovative product development, superior quality, advanced manufacturing and skilled technical services to support their development and marketed product needs.
We believe our customers value us because our depth of development solutions and advanced delivery technologies, consistent and reliable supply, geographic reach, and substantial expertise enable us to create a broad range of business and product solutions that can be customized to fit their individual needs. The aim of our offerings is to allow our customers to bring more products to market, and develop and market differentiated new products that improve patient outcomes. We believe our leading market position, significant global scale, and diversity of customers, offerings, regulatory categories, products, and geographies reduce our exposure to potential strategic and product shifts within the industry.

Our history of innovation in the advanced delivery of pharmaceutical products formed the foundation of our market-leading business. We have a track record of nearly eight decades of oral dose form innovation, since we first transformed the softgel manufacturing process in the 1930s. We launched the oral dissolving tablet category by commercializing our Zydis® technology in the 1980s and, in 2001, introduced an advanced softgel capsule shell, VegiCaps® Soft capsules. Our GPEx® cell line technology for biologics can help bring innovator, bio-similar and bio-better products to the market more rapidly. Today we employ more than 1,000 scientists and technicians and hold approximately 1,400 patents and patent applications in advanced delivery, drug and biologics formulation and manufacturing. We apply this portfolio to actively support current and future revenue generation, and we may receive license and exclusivity fees and/or royalties for certain technologies.
2
In recent years we have continued to expand our advanced delivery technology portfolio. In fiscal 2011, we acquired a novel molecular optimization platform, OptiForm™ from GlaxoSmithKline, providing drug developers a new way to identify the best form of a molecule to take forward into development. In 2011, we also in-licensed a development stage oral dissolving tablet alternative, LyoPan™, which we are progressing towards commercialization. In fiscal 2012, we licensed the novel OptiDose™ controlled release technology from Sanwa Kagaku Kenkyusho Co., Ltd., a commercially successful platform which enables novel modified release options for oral solid dose forms. We also launched OptiMelt™ hot melt technology capabilities enabling new dose form options, based on growth investments in capabilities and capital assets, and in April 2012 entered into a broad collaboration with BASF in this area. We also have formed active partnerships to extend our technology reach, including collaborations with Bend Research for multiparticulate oral controlled-release products and with Toyobo Biologics Inc. related to GPEx® and biologics manufacturing, and have active collaborations with research universities around the world. We believe our own internal innovation activities, supplemented by current and future external partnerships and collaborations, will continue to strengthen and extend our leadership position in the industry for delivery of drugs, biologics and consumer health products.
We created our Development & Clinical Services business in fiscal 2010 which unified all of our existing development activities, to address the needs of our pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers for solutions to increasingly complex product development challenges. We have continued to invest to expand the capabilities and capacity of our development solutions, including substantial expansions of cold-chain capabilities for clinical supplies. In fiscal 2012, we substantially expanded the scale of this business with the CTS Acquisition.
On February 17, 2012, we closed our acquisition of Aptuit’s Clinical Trial Supplies (“CTS”) business for approximately $400 million (the “CTS Acquisition”). The acquisition substantially expands our business, transforming us into the second largest global provider of clinical supply solutions, and enhances our leading global position in development solutions and advanced delivery technologies for drugs, biologics and consumer health products.
The Aptuit CTS business was a leading supplier of clinical trial materials and logistics to the global biopharmaceutical industry. It operated in two segments: Clinical Packaging and Logistics (“CP&L”) and Pharma Development and Manufacturing (“PDM”) business. CP&L packaged, stored and coordinated the distribution of drugs for use in clinical trials. PDM provided drug formulation, analytical testing, and small scale manufacturing services. The business has been integrated into our Development and Clinical Services business.
History
Catalent was formed in April 2007, when we were acquired by affiliates of The Blackstone Group (“Blackstone”). Prior to that, we formed the core of the Pharmaceutical Technologies and Services (“PTS”) segment of Cardinal Health, Inc. (“Cardinal”). PTS was in turn created by Cardinal through a series of acquisitions, with the intent of creating the world’s leading outsourcing provider of specialized, market-leading solutions to the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. In 1998, R.P. Scherer Corporation, the market leader in advanced oral drug delivery technologies, was acquired by Cardinal. In 1999, Cardinal acquired Automated Liquid Packaging, Inc., the market leader in blow-fill-seal technology for respiratory treatments, ophthalmics, and other areas. In 2001, Cardinal purchased International Processing Corporation, a provider of oral solid dose forms. In 2002, PTS entered the fee-for-service development solutions market with the acquisition of Magellan Labs, a leader in the provision of analytical sciences services to the U.S. pharmaceuticals industry. Finally, in 2003, Cardinal acquired Intercare Group PLC, through which we expanded our European injectable manufacturing network. During the period from 1996 through 2006, we also made other selective acquisitions of businesses, facilities and technologies in all segments, including our legacy pharmaceutical packaging segment.
Subsequent to our 2007 acquisition, we have regularly reviewed our portfolio of offerings and operations in the context of our strategic growth plan. As a result of those ongoing assessments, since 2007 we have sold five
3
businesses, including two injectable vial facilities in the U.S., a French oral dose facility, a printed components business (with four facilities), and, in fiscal 2012, our North American commercial packaging business. Concurrent with the sale of the North American commercial packaging business, the Packaging Services segment ceased to be a reportable segment within continuing operations. In addition, the Sterile Technologies segment has been renamed Medication Delivery Solutions. We have also consolidated operations at two other facilities into the remaining facility network since our acquisition by Blackstone.

As used herein, the term “Investors” refers to our Sponsor together with the other investors in BHP PTS Holdings LLC, the investment entity formed by the Investors in connection with their investment in Phoenix Charter LLC.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
On September 18, 2012, we completed the private offering of the outstanding notes. In this prospectus, the term “outstanding notes” refers to the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and the term “exchange notes” refers to the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2018, as registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); the term “notes” refers to the outstanding notes and the exchange notes.
General | In connection with the private offering of the outstanding notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., Jefferies & Company, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (collectively, the “initial purchasers”), the initial purchasers of the outstanding notes in which we and the guarantors agreed, among other things, to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver this prospectus to you and to complete the exchange offer within 360 days after the date of original issuance of the outstanding notes. |
| You are entitled to exchange in the exchange offer your outstanding notes for exchange notes which are identical in all material respects to the outstanding notes except: |
| • | | the exchange notes have been registered under the Securities Act; |

We will cause the exchange to be effected promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer. |
| Upon completion of the exchange offer, there may be no market for the outstanding notes and you may have difficulty selling them. |

Resales | Based on interpretations by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties referred to below, we believe that you may resell or otherwise transfer exchange notes issued in the exchange offer without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, if: |
| • | | you are not our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; |
| • | | you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business; and |
| • | | you have not engaged in, do not intend to engage in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes. |
| If you are our affiliate, or are engaging in, or intend to engage in, or have any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes, or are not acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business: |
| (1) | you cannot rely on the position of the staff of the SEC enunciated inMorgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated(available June 5, 1991),Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation(available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the SEC’s letter toShearman & Sterling(dated July 2, 1993), or similar no-action letters; |
| (2) | in the absence of an exception from the position of the SEC stated in (1) above, you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale or other transfer of the exchange notes. |
| If you are a broker-dealer and receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for outstanding notes that you acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you must acknowledge that you will deliver this prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. See “Plan of Distribution.” |
Expiration Date | The exchange offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 24, 2013, unless extended by us. We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date. |
Withdrawal | You may withdraw the tender of your outstanding notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. We will return to you any of your outstanding notes that are not accepted for any reason for exchange, without expense to you, promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. |
Interest on the Exchange Notes and the Outstanding Notes | Each exchange note will bear interest at the rate per annum set forth on the cover page of this prospectus from the most recent date to |
6
| which interest has been paid on the outstanding notes. The interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15, beginning on April 15, 2013. No interest will be paid on outstanding notes following their acceptance for exchange. |
Conditions to the Exchange Offer | The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions, which we may assert or waive. See “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” |
Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes | If you wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must complete, sign and date the accompanying letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, according to the instructions contained in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal. You must then mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, together with the outstanding notes and any other required documents, to the exchange agent at the address set forth on the cover page of the letter of transmittal. |
| If you hold outstanding notes through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must comply with the Automated Tender Offer Program procedures of DTC, by which you will agree to be bound by the letter of transmittal, and in that case, you need not execute and deliver a letter of transmittal. |
| By signing, or agreeing to be bound by, the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things: |
| • | | you are not our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; |
| • | | you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business; |
| • | | you are not engaged in, do not intend to engage in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes; and |
| • | | if you are a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for outstanding notes that you acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, that you will deliver a prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any resale or other transfer of such exchange notes. |
| If you are our affiliate, or are engaging in, or intend to engage in, or have any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes, or are not acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business, you cannot rely on the applicable positions and interpretations of the staff of the SEC and you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale or other transfer of the exchange notes. |
7
Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners | If you are a beneficial owner of outstanding notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, and you wish to tender those outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender those outstanding notes on your behalf. |
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures | If you wish to tender your outstanding notes and your outstanding notes are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your outstanding notes, the letter of transmittal and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, or you cannot comply with the applicable procedures under DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program for transfer of book-entry interests, prior to the expiration date, then you must tender your outstanding notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in this prospectus under “The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.” |
Effect on Holders of Outstanding Notes | In connection with the sale of the outstanding notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the outstanding notes that grants the holders of outstanding notes registration rights. As a result of the making of, and upon acceptance for exchange of all validly tendered outstanding notes pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer, we will have fulfilled a covenant under the registration rights agreement. Accordingly, there will be no increase in the interest rate on the outstanding notes under the circumstances described in the registration rights agreement assuming the exchange offer is consummated on or before September 13, 2013. If you do not tender your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be entitled to all the rights and limitations applicable to the outstanding notes as set forth in the indenture, except we will not have any further obligation to you to provide for the registration of the outstanding notes under the registration rights agreement, except in limited circumstances. |
| To the extent that outstanding notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for outstanding notes could be adversely affected. |
Consequences of Failure to Exchange | All untendered outstanding notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the outstanding notes and in the indenture. In general, the outstanding notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we do not currently anticipate that we will register the outstanding notes under the Securities Act. |
8
Certain U.S. Federal Income and Estate Tax Consequences | The exchange of outstanding notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for United States federal income tax purposes. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income and Estate Tax Consequences—Exchange Offer.” |
Use of Proceeds | We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the exchange notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange a like principal amount of outstanding notes, the terms of which are identical in all material respects to the exchange notes. The outstanding notes surrendered in exchange for the exchange notes will be retired and cancelled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, the issuance of the exchange notes will not result in any change in our capitalization. |
Exchange Agent | The Bank of New York Mellon, whose address and telephone number are set forth in the section captioned “The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent” of this prospectus, is the exchange agent for the exchange offer. |

The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the outstanding notes. The exchange notes will be governed by the same indenture under which the outstanding notes were issued and the exchange notes and the outstanding notes will constitute a single class for all purposes under the indenture. For more detailed description of the notes, see “Description of the Notes.”

Guarantees | The notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by all of our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries (excluding our Puerto Rico subsidiaries) that guarantee our senior secured credit facilities. |

| • | | are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors; and |
10
| • | | are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. |
| The guarantees are unsecured senior obligations of the guarantors. Accordingly, the guarantees: |
| • | | rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the guarantors; |
| • | | rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of the guarantors that expressly provides for its subordination to the guarantees; |
| • | | are effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. |

In addition, we had an additional $185.1 million of unutilized capacity and $15.2 million of outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit facility. |

| • | | pay certain dividends and make distributions in respect of capital stock; |
| • | | place limitations on distributions from restricted subsidiaries; |
| • | | guarantee certain indebtedness; |

| These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. See “Description of the Notes.” |
Use of Proceeds | We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer. |
Certain ERISA Considerations | The notes may, subject to certain restrictions described in “Certain ERISA Considerations” herein, be sold and transferred to ERISA Plans. Prospective investors should carefully consider the matters discussed under the caption “Notice to Investors” herein. |
11
Trading | The exchange notes will generally be freely transferable (subject to certain restrictions discussed in “The Exchange Offer”) but will be a new issue of securities for which there will not initially be a market. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any market for the exchange notes. The initial purchasers in the private offering of the outstanding notes have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the exchange notes, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. However, they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any such market making activities at any time without notice. |

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company adopted an accounting standard which eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, which was the presentation used in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The adopted accounting standard requires the presentation of the components of net income, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income in either one continuous statement or two separate consecutive statements.

RISK FACTORS
Any investment in the notes involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before participating in the exchange offer. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow could be materially and adversely affected. Additional risks or uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also impair our business operations. We cannot assure you that any of the events discussed in the risk factors below will not occur and if such events do occur, you may lose all or part of your original investment in the notes.
Risks Related to the Exchange Offer
There may be adverse consequences if you do not exchange your outstanding notes.
If you do not exchange your outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer, then you will continue to be subject to the transfer restrictions on the outstanding notes as set forth in the offering memorandum distributed in connection with the private offering of the outstanding notes. In general, the outstanding notes may not be offered or sold unless they are registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the outstanding notes under the Securities Act. You should refer to “Summary—The Exchange Offer” and “The Exchange Offer” for information about how to tender your outstanding notes.
The tender of outstanding notes under the exchange offer will reduce the outstanding amount of the outstanding notes, which may have an adverse effect upon and increase the volatility of, the market price of the outstanding notes due to reduction in liquidity.
Your ability to transfer the exchange notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and there is no assurance that any active trading market will develop for the exchange notes.
The exchange notes are new issues of securities for which there is no established public market. The initial purchasers in the private offering of the outstanding notes have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the exchange notes as permitted by applicable laws and regulations; however, the initial purchasers are not obligated to make a market in any of the exchange notes, and they may discontinue their market-making activities at any time without notice. Therefore, an active market for any of the exchange notes may not develop or, if developed, it may not continue. The liquidity of any market for the exchange notes will depend upon the number of holders of the exchange notes, our performance, the market for similar securities, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the exchange notes and other factors. A liquid trading market may not develop for the exchange notes or any series of notes. If a market develops, the exchange notes could trade at prices that may be lower than the initial offering price of the exchange notes. If an active market does not develop or is not maintained, the price and liquidity of the exchange notes may be adversely affected. Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the notes. The market, if any, for any of the exchange notes may not be free from similar disruptions and any such disruptions may adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your exchange notes. In addition, subsequent to their initial issuance, the exchange notes may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes, our performance and other factors.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
Our substantial leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or in our industry, expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt and prevent us from meeting our obligations under the notes.
We are highly leveraged. As of March 31, 2013, we had (1) $2,320.4 million (dollar equivalent) of senior indebtedness; and (2) $277.2 million (dollar equivalent) of senior subordinated indebtedness. In addition, we had an additional $185.1 million of unutilized capacity and $15.2 million of outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit facility.
Our high degree of leverage could have important consequences for us, including:
| • | | increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic, industry or competitive developments; |
| • | | exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates because certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, are at variable rates of interest; |
| • | | exposing us to the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates because certain of our borrowings, including certain of our senior secured term loan facilities and the Senior Subordinated Notes, are denominated in euros; |
| • | | making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, including the notes, and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions, could result in an event of default under the indenture governing the notes and the agreements governing such other indebtedness; |
| • | | restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures; |
| • | | limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; and |
| • | | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who are less highly leveraged and who, therefore, may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our leverage prevents us from exploiting. |
Our total interest expense, net was $183.2 million, $165.5 million, $161.0 million and $160.7 million for fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010 and the nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. After taking into consideration our ratio of fixed-to-floating rate debt, including our senior unsecured term loan entered into on April 29, 2013, a 100 basis point increase in such rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $12 million.
Despite our high indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries will still be able to incur significant additional amounts of debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.
We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the indenture that governs the notes, the indentures governing our other notes and the senior secured credit facilities contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions and, under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. We have approximately $185 million available to us for borrowing, subject to certain conditions, from our $200.3 million revolving credit facility. If new debt is added to our subsidiaries’ existing debt levels, the risks associated with debt we currently face would increase.
17
Our debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.
The indenture that governs the notes, our credit facilities and the indentures governing our other notes contain various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to, among other things:
| • | | incur additional indebtedness and issue certain preferred stock; |
| • | | pay certain dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments; |
| • | | place limitations on distributions from restricted subsidiaries; |
| • | | issue or sell capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; |
| • | | guarantee certain indebtedness; |
| • | | make certain investments; |
| • | | sell or exchange assets; |
| • | | enter into transactions with affiliates; |
| • | | create certain liens; and |
| • | | consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. |
A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under one or more of these agreements, including as a result of cross default provisions, and, in the case of the revolving credit facility, permit the lenders to cease making loans to us. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the senior secured credit facilities, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and to terminate all commitments to extend further credit. Such actions by those lenders could cause cross defaults under our other indebtedness. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. We pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under the senior secured credit facilities. If the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay the senior secured credit facilities as well as our unsecured indebtedness, including the notes. In addition, our senior secured credit facilities include other and more restrictive covenants and restrict our ability to prepay our other indebtedness, including the notes. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control.
We utilize derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates on our variable rate indebtedness and we are exposed to risks related to counterparty credit worthiness or non-performance of these instruments.
We enter into pay-fixed interest rate swaps to limit our exposure to changes in variable interest rates. Such instruments may result in economic losses should exchange rates decline to a point lower than our fixed rate commitments. We are exposed to credit-related losses which could impact the results of operations in the event of fluctuations in the fair value of the interest rate swaps due to a change in the credit worthiness or non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swaps.
Risks Related to Our Business
We participate in a highly competitive market and increased competition may adversely affect our business.
We operate in a market that is highly competitive. We compete on several fronts, both domestically and internationally, including competing with other companies that provide similar offerings to pharmaceutical,
18
biotechnology and consumer health companies based in North America, Latin America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. We also may compete with the internal operations of those pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer health manufacturers that choose to source these offerings internally, where possible.
We face material competition in each of our markets. Competition is driven by proprietary technologies and know-how, capabilities, consistency of operational performance, quality, price, value and speed. Some competitors may have greater financial, research and development, operational and marketing resources than we do. Competition may also increase as additional companies enter our markets or use their existing resources to compete directly with ours. Expanded competition from companies in low-cost jurisdictions, such as India and China, may in the future impact our results of operations or limit our growth. Greater financial, research and development, operational and marketing resources may allow our competitors to respond more quickly with new, alternative or emerging technologies. Changes in the nature or extent of our customer requirements may render our offerings obsolete or non-competitive and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
The demand for our offerings depends in part on our customers’ research and development and the clinical and market success of their products. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be harmed if our customers spend less on or are less successful in these activities.
Our customers are engaged in research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer health products. The amount of customer spending on research, development, production and marketing, as well as the outcomes of such research, development, and marketing activities, have a large impact on our sales and profitability, particularly the amount our customers choose to spend on our offerings. Our customers determine the amounts that they will spend based upon, among other things, available resources and their need to develop new products, which, in turn, is dependent upon a number of factors, including their competitors’ research, development and production initiatives, and the anticipated market uptake, clinical and reimbursement scenarios for specific products and therapeutic areas. In addition, consolidation in the industries in which our customers operate may have an impact on such spending as customers integrate acquired operations, including research and development departments and their budgets. Our customers finance their research and development spending from private and public sources. A reduction in spending by our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If our customers are not successful in attaining or retaining product sales due to market conditions, reimbursement issues or other factors, our results of operations may be materially impacted.
We are subject to product and other liability risks that could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
We are subject to significant product liability and other liability risks that are inherent in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of our offerings. We may be named as a defendant in product liability lawsuits, which may allege that our offerings have resulted or could result in an unsafe condition or injury to consumers. Such lawsuits could be costly to defend and could result in reduced sales, significant liabilities and diversion of management’s time, attention and resources. Even claims without merit could subject us to adverse publicity and require us to incur significant legal fees.
Furthermore, product liability claims and lawsuits, regardless of their ultimate outcome, could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and reputation and on our ability to attract and retain customers. We have historically sought to manage this risk through the combination of product liability insurance and contractual indemnities and liability limitations in our agreements with customers and vendors. The availability of product liability insurance for companies in the pharmaceutical industry is generally more limited than insurance available to companies in other industries. Insurance carriers providing product liability insurance to those in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries generally limit the amount of available policy limits, require larger self-insured retentions and exclude coverage for certain products and claims. There can be no assurance that a successful product liability claim or other liability claim would be
19
adequately covered by our applicable insurance policies or by any applicable contractual indemnity or liability limitations. In addition, as we seek to expand our participation in marketed products through royalty and profit sharing arrangements, our ability to contractually limit our liability may be restricted.
Failure to comply with existing and future regulatory requirements could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated. We are subject to various local, state, federal, foreign and transnational laws and regulations, which include the operating and security standards of the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), various state boards of pharmacy, state health departments, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”), the EU member states and other comparable agencies and, in the future, any changes to such laws and regulations could adversely affect us. In particular, we are subject to laws and regulations concerning good manufacturing practices and drug safety. Our subsidiaries may be required to register for permits and/or licenses with, and may be required to comply with the laws and regulations of the DEA, the FDA, DHHS, foreign agencies including the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), and other various state boards of pharmacy, state health departments and/or comparable state agencies as well as certain accrediting bodies depending upon the type of operations and location of product distribution, manufacturing and sale.
The manufacture, distribution and marketing of our offerings for use in our customers’ products are subject to extensive ongoing regulation by the FDA, the DEA, the EMA, and other equivalent local, state, federal and foreign regulatory authorities. Failure by us or by our customers to comply with the requirements of these regulatory authorities could result in warning letters, product recalls or seizures, monetary sanctions, injunctions to halt manufacture and distribution, restrictions on our operations, civil or criminal sanctions, or withdrawal of existing or denial of pending approvals, including those relating to products or facilities. In addition, such a failure could expose us to contractual or product liability claims as well as contractual claims from our customers, including claims for reimbursement for lost or damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients, the cost of which could be significant.
In addition, any new offerings or products must undergo lengthy and rigorous clinical testing and other extensive, costly and time-consuming procedures mandated by the FDA, the EMA and other equivalent local, state, federal and foreign regulatory authorities. We or our customers may elect to delay or cancel anticipated regulatory submissions for current or proposed new products for any number of reasons.
Although we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that a regulatory agency or tribunal would not reach a different conclusion concerning the compliance of our operations with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or renew existing permits, licenses or any other regulatory approvals or obtain, without significant delay, future permits, licenses or other approvals needed for the operation of our businesses. Any noncompliance by us with applicable laws and regulations or the failure to maintain, renew or obtain necessary permits and licenses could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Failure to provide quality offerings to our customers could have an adverse effect on our business and subject us to regulatory actions and costly litigation.
Our results depend on our ability to execute and improve when necessary our quality management strategy and systems, and effectively train and maintain our employee base with respect to quality management. Quality management plays an essential role in determining and meeting customer requirements, preventing defects and improving our offerings. While we have a network of quality systems throughout our business units and facilities which relate to the design, formulation, development, manufacturing, packaging, sterilization, handling, distribution and labeling of our customers’ products which use our offerings, quality and safety issues may occur with respect to any of our offerings. A quality or safety issue could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and may subject us to regulatory actions, including product recalls, product seizures, injunctions to halt manufacture and distribution, restrictions on our operations, or civil
20
sanctions, including monetary sanctions and criminal actions. In addition, such an issue could subject us to costly litigation, including claims from our customers for reimbursement for the cost of lost or damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients, the cost of which could be significant.
The services and offerings we provide are highly exacting and complex, and if we encounter problems providing the services or support required, our business could suffer.
The offerings we provide are highly exacting and complex, particularly in our Medication Delivery Solutions segment, due in part to strict regulatory requirements. From time to time, problems may arise in connection with facility operations or during preparation or provision of an offering, in both cases for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, equipment malfunction, sterility variances or failures, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, problems with raw materials, environmental factors and damage to, or loss of, manufacturing operations due to fire, flood or similar causes. Such problems could affect production of a particular batch or series of batches, requiring the destruction of product, or could halt facility production altogether. This could, among other things, lead to increased costs, lost revenue, damage to customer relations, reimbursement to customers for lost active pharmaceutical ingredients, time and expense spent investigating the cause and, depending on the cause, similar losses with respect to other batches or products. Production problems in our drug and biologic manufacturing operations could be particularly significant because the cost of raw materials is often higher than in our other businesses. If problems are not discovered before the product is released to the market, recall and product liability costs may also be incurred. In addition, such risks may be greater at facilities that are new or going through significant expansion.
Our global operations are subject to a number of economic, political and regulatory risks.
We conduct our operations in various regions of the world, including North America, South America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Global economic and regulatory developments affect businesses such as ours in many ways. Our operations are subject to the effects of global competition, including potential competition from manufacturers in low-cost jurisdictions such as China. Local jurisdiction risks include regulatory risks arising from local laws. Our global operations are also affected by local economic environments, including inflation and recession. Political changes, some of which may be disruptive, can interfere with our supply chain and customers and some or all of our activities in a particular location. While some of these risks can be hedged using derivatives or other financial instruments and some are insurable, such attempts to mitigate these risks are costly and not always successful. Also, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can impact our consolidated financial results.
If we do not enhance our existing or introduce new technology or service offerings in a timely manner, our offerings may become obsolete over time, customers may not buy our offerings and our revenue and profitability may decline.
The healthcare industry is characterized by rapid technological change. Demand for our offerings may change in ways we may not anticipate because of such evolving industry standards as well as a result of evolving customer needs that are increasingly sophisticated and varied and the introduction by others of new offerings and technologies that provide alternatives to our offerings. Several of our higher margin offerings are based on proprietary technologies. The patents for these technologies will ultimately expire, and these offerings may become subject to competition. Without the timely introduction of enhanced or new offerings, our offerings may become obsolete over time, in which case our revenue and operating results would suffer. For example, if we are unable to respond to changes in the nature or extent of the technological or other needs of our pharmaceutical customers through enhancing our offerings, our competition may develop offering portfolios that are more competitive than ours and we could find it more difficult to renew or expand existing agreements or obtain new agreements. Innovations directed at continuing to offer enhanced or new offerings generally will require a substantial investment before we can determine their commercial viability, and we may not have the financial resources necessary to fund these innovations.
21
The success of enhanced or new offerings will depend on several factors, including our ability to:
| • | | properly anticipate and satisfy customer needs, including increasing demand for lower cost products; |
| • | | enhance, innovate, develop and manufacture new offerings in an economical and timely manner; |
| • | | differentiate our offerings from competitors’ offerings; |
| • | | achieve positive clinical outcomes for our customers’ new products; |
| • | | meet safety requirements and other regulatory requirements of government agencies; |
| • | | obtain valid and enforceable intellectual property rights; and |
| • | | avoid infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. |
Even if we succeed in creating enhanced or new offerings from these innovations, they may still fail to result in commercially successful offerings or may not produce revenue in excess of the costs of development, and they may be quickly rendered obsolete by changing customer preferences or the introduction by our competitors of offerings embodying new technologies or features. Finally, innovations may not be accepted quickly in the marketplace because of, among other things, entrenched patterns of clinical practice, the need for regulatory clearance and uncertainty over third-party reimbursement.
We and our customers depend on patents, copyrights, trademarks and other forms of intellectual property protections, however, these protections may not be adequate.
We rely on a combination of know-how, trade secrets, patents, copyrights and trademarks and other intellectual property laws, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions and technical measures to protect a number of our offerings and intangible assets. These proprietary rights are important to our ongoing operations. There can be no assurance that these protections will prove meaningful against competitive offerings or otherwise be commercially valuable or that we will be successful in obtaining additional intellectual property or enforcing our intellectual property rights against unauthorized users. Our exclusive rights under certain of our offerings are protected by patents, some of which are subject to expire in the near term. When patents covering an offering expire, loss of exclusivity may occur and this may force us to compete with third parties, thereby affecting our revenue and profitability. We do not currently expect any material loss of revenue to occur as a result of the expiration of any patent.
Our proprietary rights may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. We have in the past been subject to patent oppositions before the European Patent Office and we may in the future be subject to patent oppositions in Europe or other jurisdictions in which we hold patent rights. In addition, in the future, we may need to take legal actions to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such legal action may be unfavorable to us.
These legal actions regardless of outcome might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Although we use reasonable efforts to protect our proprietary and confidential information, there can be no assurance that our confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements will not be breached, our trade secrets will not otherwise become known by competitors or that we will have adequate remedies in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of proprietary information. Even if the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property is upheld, a court might construe our intellectual property not to cover the alleged infringement. In addition, intellectual property enforcement may be unavailable in some foreign countries. There can be no assurance that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology or that third parties will not design around our patent claims to produce competitive offerings. The use of our technology or similar technology by others could reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage we have developed, cause us to lose sales or otherwise harm our business.
22
We have applied in the United States and certain foreign countries for registration of a number of trademarks, service marks and patents, some of which have been registered or issued, and also claim common law rights in various trademarks and service marks. In the past, third parties have opposed our applications to register intellectual property and there can be no assurance that they will not do so in the future. It is possible that in some cases we may be unable to obtain the registrations for trademarks, service marks and patents for which we have applied and a failure to obtain trademark and patent registrations in the United States or other countries could limit our ability to protect our trademarks and proprietary technologies and impede our marketing efforts in those jurisdictions.
Our use of certain intellectual property rights is also subject to license agreements with third parties for certain patents, software and information technology systems and proprietary technologies. If these license agreements were terminated for any reason, it could result in the loss of our rights to this intellectual property, our operations may be materially adversely affected and we may be unable to commercialize certain offerings.
In addition, many of our branded pharmaceutical customers rely on patents to protect their products from generic competition. Because incentives exist in some countries, including the United States, for generic pharmaceutical companies to challenge these patents, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are under the ongoing threat of a challenge to their patents. If our customers’ patents were successfully challenged and as a result subjected to generic competition, the market for our customers’ products could be significantly impacted, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our future results of operations are subject to fluctuations in the costs, availability, and suitability of the components of the products we manufacture, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients, purchased components, and raw materials.
We depend on various active pharmaceutical ingredients, components, compounds, raw materials, and energy supplied primarily by others for our offerings. This includes, but is not limited to, gelatin, starch, iota carrageenan, petroleum-based products and resin. Also, frequently our customers provide their active pharmaceutical or biologic ingredient for formulation or incorporation in the finished product. It is possible that any of our or our customer supplier relationships could be interrupted due to natural disasters, international supply disruptions caused by pandemics, geopolitical issues or other events or could be terminated in the future.
For example, gelatin is a key component in our Oral Technologies segment. The supply of gelatin is obtained from a limited number of sources. In addition, much of the gelatin we use is bovine-derived. Past concerns of contamination from Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (“BSE”) have narrowed the number of possible sources of particular types of gelatin. If there were a future disruption in the supply of gelatin from any one or more key suppliers, we may not be able to obtain an alternative supply from our other suppliers. If future restrictions were to emerge on the use of bovine-derived gelatin due to concerns of contamination from BSE, any such restriction could hinder our ability to timely supply our customers with products and the use of alternative non-bovine-derived gelatin could be subject to lengthy formulation, testing and regulatory approval.
Any sustained interruption in our receipt of adequate supplies could have an adverse effect on us. In addition, while we have processes intended to reduce volatility in component and material pricing, we may not be able to successfully manage price fluctuations and future price fluctuations or shortages may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Changes in healthcare reimbursement in the United States or internationally could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
The healthcare industry has changed significantly over time, and we expect the industry to continue to evolve. Some of these changes, such as ongoing healthcare reform, adverse changes in government or private funding of healthcare products and services, legislation or regulations governing the patient access to care and privacy, or the delivery or pricing of pharmaceuticals and healthcare services or mandated benefits, may cause
23
healthcare industry participants to change the amount of our offerings they purchase or the price they are willing to pay for our offerings. Changes in the healthcare industry’s pricing, selling, inventory, distribution or supply policies or practices could also significantly reduce our revenue and results of operations. Particularly, volatility in individual product demand may result from changes in public or private payer reimbursement or coverage.
Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations.
As a company with many international entities, certain revenues, costs, assets and liabilities, including a portion of our senior secured credit facilities and the senior subordinated notes, are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, changes in the exchange rates of these currencies or any other applicable currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect our revenues, earnings and cash flows and could result in unrealized and realized exchange losses despite any efforts we may undertake to manage or mitigate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.
Tax legislation initiatives or challenges to our tax positions could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We are a large multinational corporation with operations in the United States and international jurisdictions, including North America, South America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. As such, we are subject to the tax laws and regulations of the United States federal, state and local governments and of many international jurisdictions. From time to time, various legislative initiatives may be proposed that could adversely affect our tax positions. There can be no assurance that our effective tax rate or tax payments will not be adversely affected by these initiatives. In addition, United States federal, state and local, as well as international tax laws and regulations are extremely complex and subject to varying interpretations. There can be no assurance that our tax positions will not be challenged by relevant tax authorities or that we would be successful in any such challenge.
We are dependent on key personnel.
We depend on senior executive officers and other key personnel, including our technical personnel, to operate and grow our business and to develop new enhancements, offerings and technologies. The loss of any of these officers or other key personnel combined with a failure to attract and retain suitably skilled technical personnel could adversely affect our operations. Although an equity-based compensation plan is in place, we do not have the ability to compensate employees with publicly traded equity, which may have a negative impact on our ability to recruit and retain professionals, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks generally associated with our information systems could adversely affect our results of operations.
We rely on information systems in our business to obtain, rapidly process, analyze and manage data to:
| • | | facilitate the manufacture and distribution of thousands of inventory items to and from our facilities; |
| • | | receive, process and ship orders on a timely basis; |
| • | | manage the accurate billing and collections for thousands of customers; |
| • | | manage the accurate accounting and payment for thousands of vendors; and |
| • | | schedule and operate our global network of development, manufacturing and packaging facilities. |
Our results of operations could be adversely affected if these systems are interrupted, damaged by unforeseen events or fail for any extended period of time, including due to the actions of third parties.
24
We may in the future engage in acquisitions and other transactions that may complement or expand our business or divest of non-strategic businesses or assets. We may not be able to complete such transactions and such transactions, if executed, pose significant risks and could have a negative effect on our operations.
Our future success may be dependent on opportunities to buy other businesses or technologies and possibly enter into joint ventures that could complement, enhance or expand our current business or offerings and services or that might otherwise offer us growth opportunities. We may face competition from other companies in pursuing acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Our ability to acquire targets may also be limited by applicable antitrust laws and other regulations in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. To the extent that we are successful in making acquisitions, we may have to expend substantial amounts of cash, incur debt and assume loss-making divisions. We may not be able to complete such transactions, for reasons including, but not limited to, a failure to secure financing. Any transactions that we are able to identify and complete may involve a number of risks, including the diversion of management’s attention to integrate the acquired businesses or joint ventures, the possible adverse effects on our operating results during the integration process, the potential loss of customers or employees in connection with the acquisition, delays or reduction in realizing expected synergies and our potential inability to achieve our intended objectives for the transaction. In addition, we may be unable to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, and this may lead to operational inefficiencies.
To the extent that we are not successful in completing divestitures, as such may be determined by future strategic plans and business performance, we may have to expend substantial amounts of cash, incur debt and continue to absorb loss-making or under-performing divisions. Any divestitures that we are unable to complete may involve a number of risks, including diversion of management’s attention, a negative impact on our customer relationships, costs associated with retaining the targeted divestiture, closing and disposing of the impacted business or transferring business to other facilities.
Our offerings and our customers’ products may infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
From time to time, third parties have asserted intellectual property infringement claims against us and our customers and there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against either us or our customers in the future. While we believe that our offerings do not infringe in any material respect upon proprietary rights of other parties and/or that meritorious defenses would exist with respect to any assertions to the contrary, there can be no assurance that we would not be found to infringe on the proprietary rights of others. Patent applications in the United States and some foreign countries are generally not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued or published, and we may not be aware of currently filed patent applications that relate to our offerings or processes. If patents later issue on these applications, we may be found liable for subsequent infringement. There has been substantial litigation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries with respect to the manufacture, use and sale of products that are the subject of conflicting patent rights.
Any claims that our offerings or processes infringe these rights (including claims arising through our contractual indemnification of our customers), regardless of their merit or resolution, could be costly and may divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel. We may not prevail in such proceedings given the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties in intellectual property litigation. If such proceedings result in an adverse outcome, we could, among other things, be required to:
| • | | pay substantial damages (potentially treble damages in the United States); |
| • | | cease the manufacture, use or sale of the infringing offerings or processes; |
| • | | discontinue the use of the infringing technology; |
| • | | expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology; |
| • | | license technology from the third party claiming infringement, which license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or may not be available at all; and |
| • | | lose the opportunity to license our technology to others or to collect royalty payments based upon successful protection and assertion of our intellectual property against others. |
25
In addition, our customers’ products may be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement and such claims could materially affect our business if their products cease to be manufactured and they have to discontinue the use of the infringing technology which we may provide.
Any of the foregoing could affect our ability to compete or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, which could increase our costs and restrict our operations in the future.
Our operations are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those of EPA and equivalent local, state, and foreign regulatory agencies in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, soil and groundwater contamination and employee health and safety. Any failure by us to comply with environmental, health and safety requirements could result in the limitation or suspension of production or subject us to monetary fines or civil or criminal sanctions, or other future liabilities in excess of our reserves. We are also subject to laws and regulations governing the destruction and disposal of raw materials and non-compliant products, the handling of regulated material that are included in our offerings, and the disposal of our offerings at the end of their useful life. In addition, compliance with environmental, health and safety requirements could restrict our ability to expand our facilities or require us to acquire costly pollution control equipment, incur other significant expenses or modify our manufacturing processes. Our manufacturing facilities may use, in varying degrees, hazardous substances in their processes. These substances include, among others, chlorinated solvents, and in the past chlorinated solvents were used at one or more of our facilities, including a number we no longer own or operate. As at our current facilities, contamination at such formerly owned or operated properties can result and has resulted in liability to us. In the event of the discovery of new or previously unknown contamination either at our facilities or at third-party locations, including facilities we formerly owned or operated, the issuance of additional requirements with respect to existing contamination, or the imposition of other cleanup obligations for which we are responsible, we may be required to take additional, unplanned remedial measures for which no reserves have been recorded. We are conducting monitoring and cleanup of contamination at certain facilities currently or formerly owned or operated by us. We have established accounting reserves for certain contamination liabilities but cannot assure you that such liabilities will not exceed our reserves.
We are subject to labor and employment laws and regulations, which could increase our costs and restrict our operations in the future.
We employ approximately 8,700 employees worldwide, including approximately 3,300 employees in North America, 4,100 in Europe, 700 in South America and 600 in the Asia/Pacific region. Certain employees at one of our North American facilities are represented by a labor organization, and national work councils and/or labor organizations are active at all twelve of our European facilities consistent with labor environments/laws in European countries. Similar relationships with labor organizations or national work councils exist in our plants in Argentina, Brazil and Australia. Our management believes that our employee relations are satisfactory. However, further organizing activities or collective bargaining may increase our employment-related costs and we may be subject to work stoppages and other labor disruptions. Moreover, as employers are subject to various employment-related claims, such as individual and class actions relating to alleged employment discrimination, wage-hour and labor standards issues, such actions, if brought against us and successful in whole or in part, may affect our ability to compete or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Certain of our pension plans are underfunded, and additional cash contributions we may be required to make will reduce the cash available for our business, such as the payment of our interest expense.
Certain of our employees in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan and Australia are participants in defined benefit pension plans which we sponsor. As of June 30, 2012, the underfunded amount of our pension plans on a worldwide basis was approximately $136.6 million, primarily related to our plans in the
26
United Kingdom and Germany. Included within this obligation is an estimate of approximately $36.0 million related to our fiscal 2012 withdrawal from a multiemployer pension plan in which we participated. In general, the amount of future contributions to the underfunded plans will depend upon asset returns and a number of other factors and, as a result, the amount we may be required to contribute to such plans in the future may vary. Such cash contributions to the plans will reduce the cash available for our business to pursue strategic growth initiatives or the payment of interest expense on the notes or our other indebtedness.
Blackstone controls us and our Investors may have conflicts of interest with us or our noteholders in the future.
Blackstone controls approximately 87% of BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C., with the other Investors controlling the remainder. By virtue of this controlling interest and BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C.’s ownership of all the outstanding membership interests of our indirect parent company, Phoenix Charter LLC, we are controlled by Blackstone. Blackstone controls us and all of our subsidiaries and is entitled to elect all of our directors, to appoint new management and to approve actions requiring the approval of our stockholder, including approving or rejecting proposed mergers or sales of all or substantially all of our assets, regardless of whether noteholders believe that any such transactions are in their own best interests.
The interests of the Investors may differ from holders of our notes in material respects. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of the Investors as equity holders might conflict with the interests of our noteholders. The Investors also may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings (including financings that are secured and/or senior to the senior subordinated notes) or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investments, even though such transactions might involve risks to our noteholders. Additionally, the indenture governing the notes permits us to pay advisory fees, dividends or make other restricted payments under certain circumstances, and the Investors or their affiliates and/or advisors may have an interest in our doing so. See Item 13 “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Transaction and Advisory Fee Agreement” to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for a discussion of certain payments we make to affiliates of Blackstone in connection with Blackstone’s acquisition of us and related financings.
Members of the Investors or their affiliates or advisors are in the business of making or advising on investments in companies and may, from time to time in the future, acquire interests in businesses or provide advice that directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of our business or are suppliers or customers of ours. They may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. You should consider that the interests of these holders may differ from yours in material respects. See Item 12 “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters” and Item 13 “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Risks Relating to the Notes
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, including the notes, and we may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, including the notes.
27
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the notes. A portion of our senior secured credit facilities will begin to mature in 2016, our 9 3/4% senior subordinated notes (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”) will mature in 2017, all prior to the maturity of the notes. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments and the indenture governing the notes may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In addition, any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness.
Your right to receive payments on the notes is effectively junior to the rights of lenders who have a security interest in our assets, to the extent of the value of those assets.
Our obligations under the notes and our guarantors’ obligations under their guarantees of the notes are unsecured, but our and the guarantors’ obligations under our senior secured credit facilities are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our domestic tangible and intangible assets, including the stock of substantially all of our wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries (excluding our Puerto Rico subsidiaries) and a portion of the stock of certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. If we are declared bankrupt or insolvent, or if we default under our senior secured credit facilities, the lenders could declare all indebtedness outstanding thereunder due and payable. If we were unable to repay them, the lenders could foreclose on the pledged assets to the exclusion of holders of the notes, even if an event of default exists under the indenture governing the notes. Furthermore, if the lenders foreclose and sell the pledged equity interests in any subsidiary guarantor under the notes, then that guarantor will be released from its guarantee of the notes immediately. In any such event, because the notes will not be secured by any of our assets or the equity interests in subsidiary guarantors, it is possible that there would be no assets remaining from which your claims could be satisfied or, if any assets remained, they might be insufficient to satisfy your claims in full. See “Description of Other Indebtedness.”
As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately $1,703.1 million (dollar equivalent) aggregate principal amount of senior secured indebtedness, which is primarily indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities, and the right to borrow $185.1 million under our revolving credit facility, giving effect to $15.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, subject to certain conditions. The indenture governing the notes will permit us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including secured indebtedness.
Claims of noteholders will be structurally subordinated to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes, which represent a substantial portion of our EBITDA and total assets.
The notes will not be guaranteed by any subsidiary that is not wholly-owned or any subsidiary that does not guarantee our senior secured credit facilities. Claims of holders of the notes will be structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes, including trade creditors. All obligations of these subsidiaries will have to be satisfied before any of the assets of such subsidiaries would be available for distribution, upon a liquidation or otherwise, to our creditors, including the holders of the notes. For further information relating to our subsidiaries that are guarantors of our obligations and the subsidiaries that are not guarantors, see Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
In addition, there may be local legal restrictions or adverse international tax consequences to us that reduce our ability to access or prevent us from accessing the assets and cash flows of non-guarantor subsidiaries. Also, the covenants in the indenture for the notes allow us to create contractual restrictions or prohibitions on our ability to access those assets and cash flows, particularly in favor of lenders to those subsidiaries.
28
We are a holding company and will depend on receiving payments from our subsidiaries to meet our obligations under the notes.
We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through our subsidiaries. Consequently, we do not have any income from operations and do not expect to generate income from operations in the future. As a result, our ability to meet our debt service obligations, including our obligations under the notes, depends upon our subsidiaries’ cash flow and payment of funds to us by our subsidiaries as dividends, loans, advances or other payments. The indenture for the notes will allow us to incur any debt that is permitted to be incurred by our subsidiaries and to impose restrictions on those subsidiaries’ ability to transfer funds or assets to us. As a result, we might not have access to the assets or cash flows of our subsidiaries. In addition, the payment of dividends or the making of loans, advances or other payments to us may be subject to regulatory or contractual restrictions.
If we default on our obligations to pay our other indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the notes.
Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including a default under the senior secured credit facilities, could prevent us from making any payments on the notes and substantially decrease the market value of the notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants of our indebtedness, we could be in default under such indebtedness. In the event of such default,
| • | | the holders of such indebtedness may be able to cause all of our available cash to be used to pay such indebtedness and, in any event, could elect to declare all amounts thereunder to be due and payable; |
| • | | the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could elect to terminate their commitments thereunder, cease making further loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets; and |
| • | | we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. |
We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control.
Upon a change of control as defined in the indenture, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, unless we have previously given notice of our intention to exercise our right to redeem the notes or unless such obligation is suspended. See “Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control.” We may not have sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the notes that are tendered upon a change of control offer or, if then permitted under the indenture, to redeem the notes. A failure to make the applicable change of control offer or to pay the applicable change of control purchase price when due would result in a default under the indenture. The occurrence of a change of control would also constitute an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities and may constitute an event of default under the terms of our other indebtedness. In the event any purchase or redemption is prohibited, we may seek to obtain waivers from the required lenders under our senior secured credit facilities or holders of other indebtedness to permit the required repurchase or redemption, but the required holders of such indebtedness have no obligation to grant and may refuse to grant such a waiver.
The lenders under our senior secured credit facilities have the discretion to release any subsidiary guarantors under the senior secured credit facilities, which will cause those subsidiary guarantors to be released from their guarantees of the notes.
Any subsidiary guarantee of the notes may be released at the sole discretion of lenders under our senior secured credit facilities, if the related subsidiary guarantor is no longer a guarantor of obligations under the senior secured credit facilities or any other indebtedness. See “Description of the Notes.” You will not have a claim as a creditor against any subsidiary that is no longer a guarantor of the notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of those subsidiaries will effectively be senior to claims of noteholders.
29
Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to cancel the notes or the related guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from us or the guarantors.
Our creditors or the creditors of the guarantors of the notes could challenge the issuance of the notes and the related guarantees as fraudulent conveyances or on other grounds. Under federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, the delivery of the notes or the guarantees could be found to be a fraudulent transfer and declared void if a court determined that we or the relevant guarantor, at the time that we or the relevant guarantor incurred the indebtedness evidenced by the note or its guarantee, as applicable, (1) delivered the note or guarantee, as applicable, with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud existing or future creditors; or (2) received less than reasonably equivalent value or did not receive fair consideration for the delivery of the note or guarantee, as applicable, and any of the following three conditions apply:
| • | | we or the guarantor was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of delivering the note or guarantee |
| • | | we or the guarantor was engaged in a business or transaction for which our or the guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or |
| • | | we or the guarantor intended to incur, or believed that we or it would incur, debts beyond our or its ability to pay such debts at maturity. |
In addition, any payment by us or that guarantor pursuant to the notes or its guarantee, as applicable, could be voided and required to be returned to us or the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of us or the guarantor, as applicable. In any such case, the right of noteholders to receive payments in respect of the notes from us or any such guarantor, as applicable, would be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of ours or that guarantor.
The indenture contains a “savings clause,” which limits the liability of each guarantor on its guarantee to the maximum amount that such guarantor can incur without risk that its guarantee will be subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer. We cannot assure you that this limitation will protect such guarantees from fraudulent transfer challenges or, if it does, that the remaining amount due and collectible under the guarantees would suffice, if necessary, to pay the notes in full when due. Furthermore, in a recent case,Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of TOUSA, Inc. v. Citicorp North America, Inc., the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida held that a savings clause similar to the savings clause used in the indenture was unenforceable. As a result, the subsidiary guarantees were found to be fraudulent conveyances. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit recently affirmed the liability findings of the Bankruptcy Court without ruling directly on the enforceability of savings clauses generally. If theTOUSA decision is followed by other courts, the risk that the guarantees would be deemed fraudulent conveyances would be significantly increased.
If a court declares the notes or guarantees to be void, or if the notes or guarantees must be limited or voided in accordance with their terms, any claim a noteholder may make against us for amounts payable on the notes could, with respect to amounts claimed against us or the guarantors, be subordinated to our indebtedness and the indebtedness of the guarantors, including trade payables. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, we or a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:
| • | | the sum of our or its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of our or its assets; |
| • | | the present fair saleable value of our or its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay our or its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or |
| • | | we or the guarantor could not pay our or its debts as they become due. |
On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that we and each guarantor, after giving effect to the issuance of the notes and its guarantee of the notes, respectively, will not be insolvent, will not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which we or it is engaged and
30
will not have incurred debts beyond our or its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.
Your ability to transfer the notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and there is no assurance that any active trading market will develop for the notes.
The notes are a new issue of securities for which there is no established public market. We do not intend to have the notes listed on a national securities exchange or included in any automated quotation system.
Certain of the initial purchasers in the initial offering of the notes have advised us that they intend to make a market in the notes, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations; however, the initial purchasers are not obligated to make a market in any of the notes and they may discontinue their market making activities at any time without notice. Therefore, an active market for any of the notes may not develop or, if developed, it may not continue. The liquidity of any market for the notes will depend upon the number of holders of the notes, our performance, the market for similar securities, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the notes and other factors. A liquid trading market may not develop for the notes. If a market develops, the notes could trade at prices that may be lower than the initial offering price of the notes. If an active market does not develop or is not maintained, the price and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected. Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the notes. The market, if any, for any of the notes may not be free from similar disruptions and any such disruptions may adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your notes. In addition, subsequent to their initial issuance, the notes may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes, our performance and other factors.
Any rating downgrade for the notes may cause the price of the notes to fall.
In the event a rating service were to lower its rating on the notes below the rating initially assigned to the notes or otherwise announce its intention to put the notes on credit watch, the market price of the notes could decline.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement that we entered into in connection with the private offering of the outstanding notes. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes in the exchange offer. As consideration for issuing the exchange notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange a like principal amount of outstanding notes, the terms of which are identical in all material respects to the exchange notes, except that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or additional interest upon a failure to fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement. The outstanding notes that are surrendered in exchange for the exchange notes will be retired and cancelled and cannot be reissued. As a result, the issuance of the exchange notes will not result in any increase or decrease in our capitalization.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2012 give effect to the CTS Acquisition as though the companies were combined as of July 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this prospectus is based on the historical financial statements of Catalent and the CTS Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the CTS Acquisition, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma financial information as presented below is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisitions and any borrowings undertaken to finance the CTS Acquisition had taken place at July 1, 2011.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been compiled from the following sources:
| • | | Our historical information has been extracted from our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2012 contained elsewhere in the prospectus. |
| • | | Financial information of the CTS business has been extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2011, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus. |

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma statement of operations are as follows:
(a) | To record an estimate of the additional depreciation expense related to the preliminary estimated fair value adjustment to plant, property and equipment acquired. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, we have reflected the estimated additional depreciation expense in “Cost of products sold,” as follows: |
| | | | |
(in millions) | | Year Ended June 30, 2012 | |
Estimated depreciation expense of acquired property, plant and equipment | | $ | 2.5 | |
(b) | To record an estimate of the additional amortization expense related to the preliminary estimated fair value adjustment primarily related to customer relationship intangible asset amortization, as follows: |
| | | | |
(in millions) | | Year Ended June 30, 2012 | |
Estimated amortization of acquired intangible assets | | $ | 7.4 | |
(c) | To record the estimated incremental interest expense in connection with the Incremental Term Loan facility used to finance the CTS Acquisition which includes the interest expense on the new debt and existing debt and the impact of amortization of the term loan discount as follows: |
| | | | |
(in millions) | | Year Ended June 30, 2012 | |
Adjustment needed to approximate total pro-forma interest expense. | | $ | 2.6 | |
(d) | To record an adjustment for the estimate of the tax impacts of the CTS Acquisition on the balance sheet and statement of operations, primarily related to the additional expense associated with incremental debt to finance the CTS Acquisition, estimated fair value adjustments for acquired property, plant and equipment, intangibles and assumed liabilities, the elimination of transaction costs directly attributable to the CTS Acquisition assumed to be non-recurring, repatriation decisions and the assumed utilization of deferred tax attributes, as applicable. |
| | | | |
(in millions) | | Year Ended June 30, 2012 | |
Income tax benefit associated with expenses related to assets acquired | | $ | 5.0 | |
We have assumed a 41% tax rate when estimating the tax impacts of the additional expense on incremental debt to finance the CTS Acquisition because the debt is an obligation of a U.S. entity and taxed at the estimated combined effective U.S. federal statutory and state rate. The effective tax rate and tax accounts in the balance sheet of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-acquisition activities, including repatriation decisions, cash needs and geographical mix of income.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect the expected realization of annual cost savings. These savings are expected in selling, general and administrative functions, research and development and manufacturing. Although Catalent management expects that cost savings will result from the acquisition, there can be no assurance that these cost savings will be achieved. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect estimated restructuring and integration charges associated with the expected cost savings.

Fixed charges consist of interest expense, capitalized interest and imputed interest on our lease obligations. For fiscal years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $247.0 million, $180.5 million, $215.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $55.1 million. |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion together with our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The statements in the discussion and analysis with respect to our expectations regarding the performance of our business and other non-historical statements in the discussion and analysis are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are the leading global provider of development solutions and advanced delivery technologies for drugs, biologics and consumer health products. Through our extensive capabilities and deep expertise in product development, we help our customers bring more products to market, faster. Our advanced delivery technology platforms, the broadest and most diverse combination of intellectual property and proven formulation, manufacturing and regulatory expertise available to the industry, enable our customers to bring more products and better treatments to the market. Across both development and delivery, our commitment to reliably supply our customers’ needs serves as the foundation for the value we provide. We operate through four businesses: Development & Clinical Services, Softgel Technologies, Modified Release Technologies, and Medication Delivery Solutions. We believe that through our prior and ongoing investments in growth-enabling capacity and capabilities, our entry into new markets, our ongoing focus on operational and quality excellence, our innovation activities, the sales of existing customer products, and the introduction of new customer products, we will continue to benefit from attractive margins and realize the growth potential from these areas.
For financial reporting purposes, we present three distinct financial reporting segments based on criteria established by U.S. GAAP: Development & Clinical Services, Oral Technologies and Medication Delivery Solutions. The Oral Technologies segment includes the Softgel Technologies and Modified Release Technologies businesses.
| • | | Development & Clinical Services. We provided manufacturing, packaging, storage and inventory management for drugs and biologics in clinical trials. We offer customers flexible solutions for clinical supplies production, and provide distribution and inventory management support for both simple and complex clinical trials. This includes dose form manufacturing or over-encapsulation where needed, supplying placebos, comparator drug procurement, clinical packages and kits for physicians and patients, inventory management, investigator kit ordering and fulfillment, and return supply reconciliation and reporting. We support trials in all regions of the world through our facilities and distribution network. In Fiscal 2012 we substantially expanded this business via the Aptuit CTS acquisition in February 2012 (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion). |
We also offer analytical chemical and cell-based testing and scientific services, respiratory products formulation and manufacturing, regulatory consulting, and bioanalytical testing for biologic products. Our respiratory product capabilities include development services for inhaled products for delivery via metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and nasal sprays. Demand for our offerings is driven by the need for scientific expertise and depth and breadth of services offered, as well as by the reliable supply thereof (including quality, execution and performance). We provide global regulatory and clinical support services for our customers’ regulatory and clinical strategies during all stages of development. We have ten facilities, including five in North America, four in Europe and one in the Asia Pacific region. Our Development & Clinical Services segment represented approximately 16% of total net revenue for Fiscal 2012 on a combined basis before inter-segment eliminations.
| • | | Oral Technologies. We provide advanced oral delivery technologies, including formulation, development and manufacturing of oral dose forms for prescription and consumer health products. |
42
| These oral dose forms include softgel, modified release and immediate release solid oral technology products. At certain facilities we also provide integrated primary packaging services for the products we manufacture. |
Through our Softgel Technologies business, we provide formulation, development and manufacturing services for soft gelatin capsules, or “softgels”, which we first commercialized in the 1930s. We are the market leader in overall softgel manufacturing, and hold the leading market position in the prescription arena. Our principal softgel technologies include traditional softgel capsules (in which the shell is made from animal-derived materials) and VegiCaps capsules (in which the shell is made from vegetable-derived materials), which are used in a broad range of customer products, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and vitamins and supplements. Softgel capsules encapsulate liquid, paste or oil-based active compounds in solution or suspension into an outer shell, filling and sealing the capsule simultaneously. Softgels have historically been used to solve formulation challenges or technical issues for a specific drug, to help improve the clinical performance of compounds, to provide important market differentiation, particularly for over-the-counter compounds, and to provide safe handling of hormonal, potent and cytotoxic drugs. We also participate in the softgel vitamin, mineral and supplement business in selected regions around the world. With the 2001 introduction of our vegetable-derived softgel shell, VegiCaps capsules, drug and consumer health manufacturers have been able to expand the compatibility of the softgel dose form to a broader range of active ingredients, as well as and serve patient/consumer populations that were previously inaccessible due to religious, dietary or cultural preferences. Our VegiCaps capsules are patent protected in most major global markets. Physician and patient studies we have conducted have demonstrated a preference for softgels versus traditional tablet and hard capsule dose forms in terms of ease of swallowing, real or perceived speed of delivery, ability to remove or eliminate unpleasant odor or taste and, for physicians, perceived improved patient adherence with dosing regimens.
Through our Modified Release Technologies business we provide formulation, development and manufacturing services for fast-dissolve tablets and both proprietary and conventional controlled release products. We launched our orally dissolving tablet business in 1986 with the introduction of Zydis tablets, a unique oral dosage form that is freeze-dried in its package, can be swallowed without water, and typically dissolves in the mouth in less than three seconds. Most often used for indications, drugs and patient groups that can benefit from rapid oral disintegration, the Zydis technology is utilized in a wide range of products and indications, including treatments for a variety of central nervous system-related conditions such as migraines, Parkinsons’ Disease, schizophrenia, and pain-relief. Zydis tablets continue to be used in new ways by our customers as we extend the application of the technology to new categories, such as for immunotherapies, vaccines and biologics delivery. We have recently added two new technology platforms to the Modified Release business portfolio, including the highly flexible OptiDose technology, already commercially proven in Japan, and the development stage LyoPan oral dissolving tablet technology. We plan to continue to expand the development pipeline of customer products for all of our Modified Release technologies. Representative Modified Release Technology business customers include Pfizer, Novartis, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson.
We have thirteen Oral Technologies facilities in nine countries, including three in North America, six in Europe, two in South America and two in the Asia-Pacific region. Our Oral Technologies segment represented approximately 71% of total net revenue for Fiscal 2012 on a combined basis before inter-segment eliminations.
| • | | Medication Delivery Solutions.We provide formulation, development and manufacturing services for advanced delivery of drugs and biologics, including products administered via for injection, inhalation and ophthalmic routes, using both traditional and advanced technologies. Our range of injectable manufacturing offerings includes filling drugs or biologics into pre-filled syringes, and bags and other delivery formats, with flexibility to accommodate other formats within our existing network, focused increasingly on complex and difficult products. With our range of injectable solutions technologies we |
43
| are able to meet a wide range of specifications, timelines and budgets. The complexity of the manufacturing process, the importance of experience and know-how, regulatory compliance, and the high start-up capital requirements create significant barriers to entry and, as a result, limit the number of competitors in the market. For example, blow-fill-seal is an advanced aseptic processing technology which uses a continuous process to form, fill with drug, and seal a plastic container in a sterile environment. Blow-fill-seal units typically cost less than traditional sterile forms on a per-unit basis and are currently used primarily for non-injectable a variety of pharmaceuticals in liquid form, such as respiratory, ophthalmic and otic products. We are a leader in the outsourced blow-fill-seal market, and operate one of the largest capacity commercial manufacturing blow-fill-seal facilities in the world. Our sterile blow-fill-seal manufacturing has the capacity and flexibility of manufacturing configurations and business provides flexible and scalable solutions for unit-dose delivery of complex formulations such as suspensions and emulsions, products that are temperature, light and/or oxygen-sensitive. We also provide as well as innovative design and engineering container design and manufacturing solutions related to complex container design and manufacturing. Our regulatory expertise can leads to decreased time to commercialization, and our dedicated development production lines support feasibility, stability and clinical runs. We plan to continue to expand our product line in existing and new markets, and in higher margin specialty products with additional respiratory, ophthalmic, and injectable and nasal applications. Representative customers include Pfizer, Sanofi-Aventis, Novartis and Roche. |
Our biologics offerings include our formulation development and cell-line manufacturing based on our advanced and patented Gene Product Expression (“GPEx”) technology, which is used to develop stable, high-yielding mammalian cell lines for both innovator and bio-similar biologic compounds. Our GPEx® technology can provide rapid cell line development, high biologics production yields, flexibility and versatility. We are investing in expanded capability and capacity to produce clinical scale biologic supplies; once complete, combined with offerings from other parts of Catalent and external partners, we can enable a developer of new biologic entities, biosimilars or biobetters to bring a product from gene to market commercialization, faster.
We have four Medication Delivery Solutions manufacturing facilities, including two in North America and two in Europe. Our Medication Delivery Solutions segment represented approximately 13% of total net revenue for Fiscal 2012 on a combined basis before inter-segment eliminations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following disclosure is provided to supplement the descriptions of the Company’s accounting policies contained in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in regard to significant areas of judgment. Management was required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Because of the size of the financial statement elements to which they relate, some of our accounting policies and estimates have a more significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements than others. What follows is a discussion of some of our more significant accounting policies and estimates.
Revenues and Expenses
Net Revenue
We sell products and services directly to our pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer health customers. The majority of our business is conducted through supply or development agreements. Revenue is recognized net of sales returns and allowances. The majority of our revenue is charged on a price-per-unit basis and is recognized either upon shipment or delivery of the product or service. Revenue generated from research and development arrangements are generally priced by project and are recognized either upon completion of the required service or achievement of a specified project phase or milestone.
44
Our overall net revenue is generally impacted by the following factors:
| • | | Fluctuations in overall economic activity within the geographic markets in which we operate; |
| • | | Sales trends for our customers’ products, the level branded and generic product competition they experience, the levels of their outsourcing, and the impact of regulation and healthcare reimbursement upon their products and the timing and uptake of their product launches; |
| • | | Change in the level of competition we face from our competitors; |
| • | | Mix of different products or services that we sell and our ability to provide offerings that meet our customers’ requirements; |
| • | | New intellectual property we develop and expiration of our patents; |
| • | | Changes in prices of our products and services, which are generally relatively stable due to our long-term contracts; and |
| • | | Fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies, in which a substantial portion of our revenues and expenses are denominated, and the U.S. dollar. |
Operational Expenses
Cost of products sold consists of direct costs incurred to manufacture and package products and costs associated with supplying other revenue-generating services. Cost of products sold includes labor costs for employees involved in the production process and the cost of raw materials and components used in the process or product. Cost of products sold also includes labor costs of employees supporting the production process, such as production management, quality, engineering, and other support services. Other costs in this category include the external research and development costs, depreciation of fixed assets, utility costs, freight, operating lease expenses and other general manufacturing expenses.
Selling, general and administration expenses consist of all expenditures incurred in connection with the sales and marketing of our products, as well as administrative expenses to support our businesses. The category includes salaries and related benefit costs of employees supporting sales and marketing, finance, human resources, information technology, research and development costs and costs related to executive management. Other costs in this category include depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of our intangible assets, professional fees, marketing and other expenses to support selling and administrative areas.
Direct expenses incurred by a segment are included in that segment’s results. Shared sales and marketing, information technology services and general administrative costs are allocated to each segment based upon the specific activity being performed for each segment or are charged on the basis of the segment’s respective revenues or other applicable measurement. Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to the segments. We do not allocate the following costs to the segments:
| • | | Impairment charges; and (gain)/loss on sale of assets; |
| • | | Restructuring expenses and other special items; |
| • | | Noncontrolling interest; and |
| • | | Other income/(expense), net. |
Our operating expenses are generally impacted by the following factors:
| • | | The utilization rate of our facilities: as our utilization rate increases, we achieve greater economies of scale as fixed manufacturing costs are spread over a larger number of units produced; |
45
| • | | Production volumes: as volumes change, the level of resources employed also fluctuate, including raw materials, component costs, employment costs and other related expenses, and our utilization rate may also be affected; |
| • | | The mix of different products or services that we sell; |
| • | | The cost of raw materials, components and general expense; |
| • | | Implementation of cost control measures and our ability to effect cost savings through our Operational Excellence, Lean Manufacturing and Lean Six Sigma program; |
| • | | Fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies, in which a substantial portion of our revenues and expenses are denominated, and the U.S. dollar. |
Allowance for Inventory Obsolescence
The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required resulting in a charge to income in the period such determination was made.
Long-lived and Other Definite Lived Intangible Assets
We allocate the cost of an acquired company to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remaining amount being recorded as goodwill. Certain intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life.
We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
| • | | Significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results; |
| • | | Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy of the overall business; |
| • | | Significant negative industry or economic trends; and |
| • | | Recognition of goodwill impairment charges. |
If we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and/or long-lived assets may not be recoverable based on the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment based on fair value, which we derive either by the estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition or on assumptions we believe marketplace participants would utilize and comparable marketplace information in similar arm’s length transactions. We then compare weighted values to the asset’s carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized would represent the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. Significant estimates and judgments are required when estimating such fair values. If it is determined that these assets are impaired, an impairment charge would be recorded and the amount could be material. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Goodwill
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 350Goodwill, Intangible and Other Assets. Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment at least annually utilizing both qualitative and quantitative assessments. In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance that simplified how entities test for goodwill impairment. This guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine
46
whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. We early adopted this guidance for our annual goodwill impairment test that was conducted as of April 1, 2012. In performing the 2012 goodwill impairment test, we assessed the relevant qualitative factors and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units are greater than their carrying amounts. After reaching this conclusion, no further testing was performed. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Risk Management
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its overall strategy to manage its exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in interest rates. As a matter of policy, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
All derivatives are recorded at fair value either as assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in earnings in the statements of operations. The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion, if any, is reported in the statements of operations. Amounts included in other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged cash flows affect earnings.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
As required byASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting under ASC 815.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance withASC 718 Compensation- Stock Compensation(ASC 718), which requires companies to recognize compensation expense using a fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments including stock options and employee stock purchase plans. The expense is determined using the fair value of the award at its grant date based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest, and recorded over the applicable requisite service period. In the absence of an observable market price for a share-based award, the fair value is based upon a valuation methodology that takes into consideration various factors, including the exercise price of the award, the expected term of the award, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the underlying share price based on peer companies, the expected dividends on the underlying shares and the risk-free interest rate. The Company’s parent, PTS Holdings Corp., has a stock incentive plan for the purposes of retaining certain key employees and directors.
47
Income Taxes
In accordance with the provisions ofASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740), the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in the respective jurisdictions in which the Company operates. In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries outside of the U.S. when it is expected that these earnings are permanently reinvested. The Company has not made any provision for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as those earnings are considered permanently reinvested in the operations of those foreign subsidiaries.
ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. Elements of this standard also provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. The Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had a total of $39.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest as applicable.
On February 17, 2012, Catalent completed its acquisition of Aptuit’s Clinical Trial Supplies business for approximately $400.0 million. The CTS acquisition was a taxable stock acquisition and was made with no Section 338 election. The acquisition created significant intangible value for book purposes, which gave rise to a large deferred tax liability (“DTL”), as there was no corresponding step-up for tax purposes. Overall, the acquisition resulted in a net DTL of about $39 million. Under the acquisition accounting rules, an amount of Goodwill equal to the $39 million net DTL was recorded on the opening balance sheet. As part of the purchase agreement, we are indemnified for tax liabilities which may arise in the future relating to periods prior to the acquisition date.
Critical and New Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of critical accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements.
Trends Affecting Our Business
We participate in the market for development solutions and advanced delivery technologies for drugs, biologics, and consumer health products. We estimate this size of this market to be approximately $15 billion currently, and expect key current and future trends to both sustain and drive additional growth for this market.
Continued strengthening in early stage development pipelines for drugs and biologics, compounded by increasing clinical trial breadth and complexity, sustain our belief in the attractive growth prospects for development solutions. Large companies are in many cases reconfiguring their R&D resources, increasingly involving appointment of strategic partners for key outsourced functions. Additionally, an increasing portion of compounds in development are from companies who less frequently have full R&D infrastructure, and thus are more likely to need strategic development solutions partners.
Aging population demographics in developed countries, combined with health care reforms in many global markets which are expanding access to treatments to a greater proportion of their populations, will continue to drive strong increases in demand for both prescription and consumer health product volumes. Increasing economic affluence in key developing regions will further increase demand for health care treatments, and we are taking active steps to ensure we participate effectively in these key growth regions and product categories.
48
Finally, we believe reimbursement pressures, supply chain complexity, and the increasing range of treatment options will continue to escalate the need for product differentiation, improved outcomes and treatment cost reduction, all of which can often be addressed using our advanced delivery technologies.
Results of Operations
Use of EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA
Management measures operating performance based on consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, expense/(benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization and is adjusted for the income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest (“EBITDA from continuing operations”). EBITDA from continuing operations is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is subject to important limitations.
We believe that the presentation of EBITDA from continuing operations enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We believe this measure is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business and use this measure for business planning purposes. In addition, given the significant investments that we have made in the past in property, plant and equipment, depreciation and amortization expenses represent a meaningful portion of our cost structure. We believe that EBITDA from continuing operations will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods of our ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to undertake capital expenditures because it eliminates depreciation and amortization expense. We present EBITDA from continuing operations in order to provide supplemental information that we consider relevant for the readers of the Consolidate Financial Statements, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede U.S. GAAP measures. Our definition of EBITDA from continuing operations may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
In addition, the Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on segment earnings before minority interest, other (income)/expense, impairments, restructuring costs, interest expense, income tax expense/(benefit), and depreciation and amortization (“Segment EBITDA”).
Under the indentures governing the notes, the Company’s ability to engage in certain activities such as incurring certain additional indebtedness, making certain investments and paying certain dividends is tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA (which is defined as “EBITDA” in the indentures). Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definitions in the Company’s indentures, is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and is subject to important limitations. We have included the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA is the covenant compliance measure used in certain covenants under the indentures governing the notes, particularly those governing debt incurrence and restricted payments. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA is earnings/(loss) from continuing operations. Included in this report is a reconciliation of earnings/(loss) from continuing operations to EBITDA from continuing operations and to Adjusted EBITDA.
Use of Constant Currency
As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. We use results on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate our performance. We calculate constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. We
49
generally refer to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign exchange. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Results on a constant currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Net Revenue
Net revenue increased $78.6 million, or 6%, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange fluctuation of $30.5 million, or 3%, net revenue increased by $109.1 million, or 9%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of a full nine months of revenue from the acquired CTS business within our Development and Clinical Services segment, partially offset by volume declines within the Oral Technologies segment related to certain customer products utilizing our Zydis delivery technology platforms and the impact of certain concessions granted to secure long term arrangements with regard to certain products and customers.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased $1.8 million, or less than 1%, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange fluctuation of $9.0 million, or 2%, gross margin increased by $10.8 million, or approximately 3%, as compared to the same period a year ago. This increase in gross margin was due to the CTS acquisition within Development and Clinical Services and research and
50
development profit participation revenue recorded within the Oral Technologies segment during the first six months of the current fiscal year, partially offset by unfavorable product mix and volume declines in both the Oral Technologies and Medication Delivery Solutions segments.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expense
Selling, general, and administrative expense increased $9.4 million, or 4%, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013. Excluding the favorable impact from foreign exchange fluctuation of $3.0 million, or 1%, selling, general, and administrative expense increased by $12.4 million, or 5%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to increased depreciation and amortization and the integration costs associated with the CTS acquisition.
Restructuring and Other
Restructuring and other charges of $12.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 were relatively consistent compared to the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The prior period charges primarily related to closure of an Oral Technology Softgel facility in the U.K. during the second quarter of the prior year. The current period charges related to restructuring initiatives across several of our operations which were enacted to improve cost efficiency, including both site consolidation and employee related severance charges undertaken to achieve acquisitions related synergies.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net, of $160.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 increased by $29.5 million, or 22%, compared to the period ended March 31, 2012 and was primarily driven by the incremental term loan borrowing of $400 million used to finance the CTS acquisition, which closed during the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, and the increased interest associated with the extension of the majority of our U.S. dollar and euro denominated term loans.
Other (Income)/Expense, net
Other expense of $20.3 million increased by $23.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 compared to the to the period ended March 31, 2012. The increased expense was primarily driven by unrealized loss related to foreign currency translation which was recorded in the current period, whereas no such loss was recorded in the prior year period. In addition, the current year expense was impacted by both cash and non-cash expenses associated with financing related expenses occurring during the period.
Provision/(Benefit) for Income Taxes
Our provision/(benefit) for income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 was $5.9 million relative to losses before income taxes of $55.1 million. Our provision/(benefit) for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was $19.0 million relative to earnings before income taxes of $22.0 million. The income tax provision for the current period is not comparable to the same period of the prior year due to changes in pretax income over many jurisdictions and the impact of discrete items. Generally, fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily due to changes in our geographic pretax income resulting from our business mix and changes in the tax impact of permanent differences, restructuring, other special items and other discrete tax items, which may have unique tax implications depending on the nature of the item. Our effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from operations outside the United States, which are generally taxed at lower rates than the U.S. statutory rate of 35%. Our effective tax rate at March 31, 2013 was primarily impacted by the deferred tax benefit of a reduction in the UK statutory tax rate that occurred in fiscal 2013 and the deferred tax impact of current year tax amortization on goodwill and debt finance costs. In addition to these items, which were both recorded as discrete items in the March 31, 2013 tax provision, there were additional discrete items related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded under FIN48, withholding taxes accrued during the year, and state income taxes for jurisdictions which assess tax on a gross receipts basis.

Oral Technologies segment
Net revenue decreased by $44.2 million, or 5%, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange fluctuation of $26.6 million, or 3%, Oral Technologies’ net revenue decreased by $17.6 million, or 2%, as compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was primarily related to decreased demand for certain customer products utilizing our Zydis technology platform and the impact of certain concessions granted to secure long term arrangements with regard to certain products and customers. This decrease was offset by revenue related to research and development product participation income recognized in the first six months of the current year period.
Oral Technologies’ EBITDA decreased by $21.9 million, or 9%, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange fluctuation of $7.8 million, or 3%, the Oral Technologies’ Segment EBITDA decreased by $14.1 million, or 6%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily related to decreased product demand as noted above and unfavorable product mix within the segment, partially offset by the research and development product participation income recorded in the current fiscal year period.
Medication Delivery Solutions segment
Net revenue decreased by $15.3 million, or 9%, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange fluctuation of $3.5 million, or 2%, Medication Delivery Solutions’ net revenue decreased by $11.8 million, or 7%, as compared to the same period a year ago. Reduced demand for injectable products at our European pre-filled syringe facilities was partially offset by increased demand for biologics services.
Medication Delivery Solutions’ Segment EBITDA decreased by 9%, or $1.7 million, for the nine months of fiscal year 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased demand for injectable products as noted above, partially offset by cost saving initiatives executed within the segment and increased demand for biologics services. The impact of foreign exchange fluctuations did not materially impact Segment EBITDA.
Development and Clinical Services segment
Net revenues increased by $131.1 million, or 79%, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange fluctuation of $0.4 million, or less than 1%, Development and Clinical Services’ net revenue increased by $131.5 million. The CTS acquisition, which closed in the third quarter of the previous fiscal year, accounted for the majority of the revenue increase.
Development and Clinical Services’ Segment EBITDA increased by $21.8 million, or 65%, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the CTS business, and cost savings initiatives across the segment, partially offset by an unfavorable mix shift to lower margin services. The impact of foreign exchange fluctuations did not materially impact Segment EBITDA.

Net Revenue
Net revenue increased $163.0 million, or 11%, compared to the same period a year ago. The stronger U.S. dollar unfavorably impacted revenue by 1%, or $17.2 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, net revenue increased by $180.2 million, or 12%, as compared to fiscal year 2011. The increase was primarily due to increased demand within the Development & Clinical Services and the Oral Technologies segments, partially offset by decreases within Medication Delivery Solutions. The Oral Technologies increase was a result of stronger demand for prescription and consumer health softgels within multiple geographies, as well as an increase for controlled release products within North America and Europe. Increased market demand for customer products using the Zydis® technology also contributed to the segment’s favorability. The Development & Clinical Services volume increase was primarily related to strong demand for clinical and analytical services within North America and Europe, as well as due to the acquisition of Aptuit’s CTS business which closed in mid-February of the current fiscal year and contributed approximately $67.9 million to the revenue increase. Within the Medication Delivery Solutions segment, revenue was lower compared to the prior fiscal year due to decreased demand within our European injectable facilities, partially offset by increased demand for products within our blow-fill-seal offering.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased $56.5 million, or 11%, compared to the prior fiscal year. The stronger U.S. dollar unfavorably impacted gross margin by approximately 2%, or $7.7 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, gross margin increased by $64.2 million, or 13%, primarily due to favorable product mix related to the revenue increases within the Oral Technologies segment and the increased demand for analytical and clinical services within the Development and Clinical Services segment. The aforementioned acquisition of Aptuit’s CTS business contributed approximately $18 million to the increase in gross margin.
54
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $59.8 million, or 21%, compared to prior fiscal year. The increase from the prior fiscal year is primarily related to transaction related expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of the CTS business, the recognition of a multi-employer pension plan obligation related to an ongoing operation, incentive-based variable employee related costs and continued investments in our sales and marketing function across the global network. In addition, the acquisition of the Aptuit CTS business resulted in $15.0 million additional selling, general and administrative expenses.
Impairment charges and (gain)/loss on sale of assets
In fiscal year 2012, in conjunction with the Company’s routine review of its long-lived asset portfolio we recorded an impairment charge related to property, plant and equipment of approximately $1.8 million, net of any gains on sale of equipment. During fiscal years 2012 and 2011, no goodwill or intangible asset impairment charges were recorded.
Restructuring and Other
Restructuring and other charges of $19.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 increased $7.0 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The charges for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 primarily include costs to consolidate and streamline our manufacturing footprint and employee related charges resulting from organizational changes and workforce reductions to adjust the capacity of our workforce within our business units. During fiscal year 2011, restructuring and special charges of $12.5 million were primarily related to asset impairments of facilities expected to be consolidated and additional costs associated with real estate exited in a prior period.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net of $183.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 increased $17.7 million, primarily driven by the incremental term loan borrowing of $400 million entered into in the third fiscal quarter and the increased interest associated with the extension of approximately 80% of our original U.S. dollar and Euro denominated term loans.
Other (Income)/Expense, net
Other income, net increased to $3.8 million of income in the current year as compared to a loss of $26.0 million in the prior fiscal year. This fluctuation primarily resulted from the non-cash unrealized foreign currency transaction losses recognized in the prior year while no such losses were recognized in the current fiscal year.
Income Tax Provision/(Benefit)
The income tax provision/(benefit) rate relative to earnings/(loss) before income taxes, minority interest and discontinued operations was 88.8% in fiscal 2012 and an amount in excess of 100% in fiscal 2011. Generally, fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily due to changes in our geographic pretax income resulting from our business mix and changes in the tax impact of permanent differences, restructuring, other special items and other discrete tax items, which may have unique tax implications depending on the nature of the item. Key drivers in permanent differences year over year include the reversal of intercompany dividend income which is not includible for tax purposes, disallowed interest expense as well as a non-deductible asset impairment. Our fiscal 2012 provision for income taxes was $16.5 million, relative to income before income taxes of $18.6 million, and resulted in an effective tax rate of 88.8%. Our fiscal 2011 provision for income taxes was $23.7 million and relative to losses before income taxes of ($5.4) million resulted in an effective tax rate in excess of 100% due to the mix of profits and losses in various jurisdictions.

Oral Technologies segment
Net revenues increased by 5%, or $61.2 million, compared to the same period a year ago. The stronger U.S. dollar unfavorably impacted the segment’s revenue by 1%, or $13.3 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, net revenue increased by 6%, or $74.5 million. This increase was primarily driven by increase demand for controlled release, prescription and consumer health softgel offerings, and increased demand of our customers’ products which utilize our Zydis technology platform.
Segment EBITDA increased by 8%, or $26.2 million. Oral Technologies’ EBITDA was unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange rate movements by 2%, or $6.2 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, the increase was 10%, or $32.4 million, which was primarily related to the previously mentioned sales volume increases as well as favorable product mix and improved productivity and fixed manufacturing cost management within the segment.
Medication Delivery Solutions segment
Net revenues decreased by 6%, or $14.7 million, compared to the prior fiscal year. The stronger U.S. dollar negatively impacted the segment’s revenue by approximately 1%, or $2.0 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, net revenues decreased 5%, or $12.7 million, which was primarily driven by decreased demand for both flu and non-flu pre-filled syringe products within our European injectable facilities as well as lower year over year revenue from our biologics offering. These revenue declines were partially offset by increased demand for products utilizing our blow-fill-seal platform.
Segment EBITDA decreased by 18%, or $6.0 million. The stronger U.S. dollar negatively impacted Medication Delivery Solutions’ EBITDA by approximately 2%, or $0.5 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, the $5.5 million, or 17%, decrease was primarily due to the decreased demand for both flu and non-flu pre-filled syringe products within our European injectable facilities, as discussed above, and were partially offset by favorable product mix and manufacturing efficiency improvements within our blow-fill-seal operation.
Development and Clinical Services segment
Net revenues increased by 71%, or $111.3 million. The stronger U.S. dollar negatively impacted the segment’s revenue by 1%, or $2.0 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, net revenues increased by 72%, or $113.3 million. The CTS Acquisition which closed in the third quarter of the current fiscal year contributed approximately $67.9 million of the revenue increase. The remaining increase was primarily related to strong demand for analytical and clinical services within North America and Europe.
Segment EBITDA increased by $22.9 million, primarily due to the previously mentioned stronger demand within the Company’s clinical services and analytical offerings, as well as due to the acquisition of Aptuit’s CTS business which contributed approximately $13.5 million of the EBITDA increase.

Net Revenue
Net revenue increased $51.4 million, or 3%, compared to the same period a year ago. The weaker U.S. dollar favorably impacted revenue by less than 1%, or $6.0 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, net revenue increased by $45.4 million, or 3%, during the fiscal year 2011. The increase was primarily due to increased demand within the Oral Technologies and Development & Clinical Services segments. The Oral Technologies increase was a result of stronger demand for prescription and consumer health softgels within multiple geographies, as well as an increase for controlled release products within North America and Europe, partially offset by decreased market demand for customer products using the Zydis® technology realized in the first half of the year. The Development & Clinical Services volume increase was primarily related to strong demand for clinical services within North America and Europe. The Medication Delivery Solutions segment was modestly ahead of the prior fiscal year due to strong demand within one of our European injectable facilities.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased $61.2 million, or 14%, compared to the same period a year ago. The weaker U.S. dollar favorably impacted gross margin by less than 1%, or $1.6 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, gross margin increased by $59.6 million, or 14%, primarily due to favorable product mix related to the revenue increases within the Oral Technologies segment, as well as the increased demand for clinical services within the Development and Clinical Services segment. Improved productivity and fixed manufacturing cost management within our segments also contributed to the margin expansion.
58
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $18.2 million, or 7%, compared to Fiscal 2010. The increase from the prior fiscal year is primarily related to an increase in research and development spending within our segments and investments in expanding our sales and marketing function across our global network.
Impairment charges and (gain)/loss on sale of assets
In Fiscal 2011 we recorded an impairment charge related to property, plant and equipment of approximately $3.6 million, net of any gains on sale of equipment, in conjunction with the Company’s routine review of its long-lived asset portfolio. During Fiscal 2011, no goodwill or intangible asset impairment charges were recorded.
During Fiscal 2010, the Company concluded that goodwill impairment indicators existed in the Medication Delivery Solutions segment and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $158.3 million, charges related to the impairment of other definite-lived intangible assets under ASC 350 of $15.8 million and $3.1 million of impairment charges related to property, plant and equipment.
Impairment charges are recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Operations as impairment charges and gain/ (loss) on sale of assets.
Restructuring and Other
Restructuring and other charges of $12.5 million for Fiscal 2011 decreased $5.2 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The charges for Fiscal 2011 included asset impairment and real estate charges related to facility consolidations announced in prior periods, employee related charges resulting from organizational changes and workforce reductions to adjust the capacity of our workforce within our business units. During Fiscal 2010, restructuring and special charges of $17.7 million were primarily related to asset impairments of facilities expected to be consolidated and additional costs associated with real estate exited in a prior period.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net of $165.5 million for Fiscal 2011 increased $4.5 million, primarily driven by the higher average foreign exchange rates compared to Fiscal 2010 and the full year impact interest expense associated with our senior toggle notes as compared to a partial year impact in the prior year.
Other (Income)/Expense, net
Other expense, net increased by $33.3 million for Fiscal 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year. This fluctuation primarily resulted from recording non-cash unrealized foreign currency transaction losses of $13.2 million during Fiscal 2011 compared with $28.4 million of non-cash unrealized foreign currency transaction gains in the comparable prior year period. In addition, Euro hedge losses recorded in the prior year period totaled $3.3 million as compared to $0.2 million gain during Fiscal 2011 due to the designation of the financial instrument for hedge accounting purposes effective October 1, 2010. These amounts were offset by a decrease in realized foreign currency losses of approximately $5.5 million associated with inter-company loan activity.
Income Tax Provision/(Benefit)
The income tax provision/(benefit) rate relative to earnings/(loss) before income taxes, minority interest and discontinued operations was in excess of 100% in Fiscal 2011 and 10.2% in Fiscal 2010, respectively. Generally, fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily due to changes in our geographic pretax income resulting from our business mix and changes in the tax impact of permanent differences, restructuring, other special items and other discrete tax items, which may have unique tax implications depending on the nature of the item. Our Fiscal 2011 provision for income taxes was $23.7 million, relative to losses before income taxes of ($5.4) million, and
59
resulted in an effective tax rate in excess of 100% due to the mix of profits and losses in various jurisdictions. Our Fiscal 2010 provision for income taxes was $21.9 million and relative to losses before income taxes of ($215.4) million resulted in an effective tax rate of 10.2%

Oral Technologies segment
Net revenues increased by 3%, or $38.7 million, compared to the same period a year ago. The weaker U.S. dollar positively impacted the segment’s revenue by 1%, or $9.5 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, revenues increased by 3%, or $29.2 million. This increase was primarily driven by sales increases within the segment’s controlled release, prescription and consumer health softgel offerings, partially offset by declines for demand of our customers’ products which utilize our Zydis technology platform.
Segment EBITDA increased by 12%, or $34.1 million. Oral Technologies’ EBITDA was favorably impacted by foreign exchange rate movements by 1%, or $2.7 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, the increase was $31.4 million, or 11%, which was primarily related to the previously mentioned sales volume increases as well as favorable product mix and improved productivity and fixed manufacturing cost management.
Medication Delivery Solutions segment
Net revenues increased by 2% or $3.9 million. The stronger U.S. dollar negatively impacted Medication Delivery Solutions’ revenue by approximately 1%, or $2.8 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, net revenues increased 3%, or $6.7 million, which was primarily driven by an increased demand for non-flu pre-filled syringes products within one of our European injectable facilities.
Segment EBITDA increased by 12%, or $3.5 million. The stronger U.S. dollar negatively impacted Medication Delivery Solutions’ EBITDA growth by approximately 2%, or $0.6 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, the increase was 14%, or $4.1 million, primarily due to increased demand for non-flu pre-filled syringe products within one of the Company’s European injectable facilities, as discussed above, as well as favorable product mix and manufacturing efficiency improvements within the Company’s blow-fill-seal operation.
Development and Clinical Services segment
Net revenues increased by 8%, or $12.1 million. Foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on the segment’s results. The increase was primarily related to strong demand for clinical services within North America and Europe. The company’s analytical science services business was modestly ahead of the prior fiscal year.
Segment EBITDA increased by 28%, or $6.6 million, primarily due to the previously mentioned stronger demand within the company’s clinical services offering, as well as the implementation of fixed manufacturing cost saving efficiencies across many of the segment’s facilities. The segment’s EBITDA was immaterially impacted by foreign exchange rates.

Sources and Uses of Cash
The Company’s principal source of liquidity has been cash flow generated from operations. The principal uses of cash are to fund planned operating and capital expenditures, interest payments on debt and any mandatory or discretionary principal payments on debt issuances. In February 2012, we used the proceeds from a $400.0 million incremental senior secured term loan facility due 2017, along with cash on hand, to finance the acquisition of the Aptuit CTS Business. As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s financing needs were supported by an approximately $200.3 million revolving credit facility, which was reduced by $15.2 million of outstanding letters of credit. The revolving credit agreement matures April 10, 2016. The April 10, 2016 maturity date is subject to certain conditions regarding the refinancing or repayment of the Company’s term loans, the senior toggle notes, the senior subordinated notes and certain other unsecured debt. As of March 31, 2013, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
We continue to believe that the Company’s cash from operations and available borrowings under the revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet the Company’s future liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.
Cash Flows
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011
The following table summarizes our statement of cash flows from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 compared with the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Financing activities | | $ | 352.9 | | | $ | (26.1 | ) | | $ | 379.0 | |
Operating activities
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, cash provided by operating activities was $87.7 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $111.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily driven by changes in working capital accounts and the cash payments made in connection with costs associated with the sale of North American Commercial Packaging operations and the CTS Acquisition. In addition, cash flow computations are impacted by changes in our interest rate swaps, foreign exchange rates impacting our liability accounts and the impact of our income tax provision on our accrued income tax payable balance.
Investing activities
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, cash used in investing activities was $538.2 million, an increase of $454.9 million compared to the year ending June 30, 2011. The increased cash used in investing activities was mainly driven by the acquisition of the CTS business and purchase of the remaining non-controlling interested in the joint venture in Eberbach Germany. Cash utilized for the purchase of property, equipment and other productive assets increased by $16.9 million as compared to the prior year, however, this increased cash outflow was offset by the collection of insurance proceeds related to capital purchases subsequent to the fire in Corby, U.K.
62
Financing activities
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, cash provided by financing activities was $352.9 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $26.1 million in the same period a year ago. The year-over-year fluctuation was primarily attributable to the proceeds from borrowing on a term loan of $393.3 million, which was offset by repayments of certain long term obligations during the year.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010
The following table summarizes our statement of cash flows from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 compared with the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Operating activities
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, cash provided by operating activities was $111.6 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $231.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The reduction was primarily driven by our election to cease using the PIK feature of the Senior Toggle Notes in fiscal 2011 and to pay cash interest for the interest period ending on October 15, 2010. In addition, cash flow computations are impacted by changes in our interest rate swaps, foreign exchange rates impacting our liability accounts and the impact of our income tax provision on our accrued income tax payable balance.
Investing activities
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, cash used in investing activities was $83.3 million, an increase of $13.1 million compared to the year ending June 30, 2010. The fluctuation was the result of higher fiscal year 2011 capital expenditures of $87.3 million as compared to the same prior fiscal year period, offset by an increase in the cash proceeds from the sale of assets.
Financing activities
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, cash used in financing activities was $26.1 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $56.7 million in the same period a year ago. The year-over-year fluctuation was primarily attributable to the repayments of $36.0 million of borrowings from our revolving credit facility in fiscal 2010, with no such payment being made in fiscal 2011.
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2012

Operating activities
For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, cash provided by operating activities was $84.4 million compared to $81.9 million for the comparable prior year period. Cash provided by operating activities was largely consistent with the comparable prior year period with higher cash interest expense on borrowings being offset by favorable changes in working capital.
Investing activities
For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, cash used in investing activities was $84.5 million, which primarily related to acquisitions of property, plant and equipment of $84.8 million. Cash used in investing activities for the comparable prior year period was $503.5 million, including $459.2 million of cash paid to acquire Aptuit’s CTS business and the remaining 49% of the Company’s Eberbach, Germany operation in February 2012. Acquisitions of property, plant and equipment totaled $67.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2012. the prior year period also included the $21 million of cash received from our insurance provider related to property damage claims resulting from the March 2011 plant fire at the Corby, U.K. facility. Excluding this insurance recovery and the acquisition related investments, cash used in investing activities for property, plant and equipment was approximately $89 million in the comparable prior year period.
Financing activities
For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, cash used in financing activities was $51.4 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $361.4 million in the same period a year ago. The significant year-over-year fluctuation was primarily driven by borrowings, net of financing fees, related to the Aptuit CTS acquisition in the prior year period of $386.8 million. In the current year period, cash flows used in financing activities consisted largely of fees paid related to financing activity during the period, normal term loan principal payments and payment of other long term obligations.
Debt and Financing Arrangements
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the economic effect of variable rate interest obligations associated with our floating rate term loans so that the interest payable on the term loans effectively becomes fixed at a certain rate, thereby reducing the impact of future interest rate changes on our future interest expense. As of March 31, 2013, we had four interest rate swap agreements that have the economic effect of modifying the variable interest obligations associated with our floating rate term loans. These agreements include two U.S. dollar-denominated agreements, one Euro-denominated agreement and one Yen-denominated interest rate swap agreement. The unrealized losses on our interest rate swaps that are designated as effective cash flow hedges for accounting purposes were $0.7 million, net of tax and are recorded within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss on our balance sheet at March 31, 2013.
The current Japanese Yen interest rate swap was designed as an effective economic hedge but not designated as effective for financial reporting purposes and is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as Other (Income)/Expense. Conversely, unrealized gains/losses on the U.S. Dollar and Euro interest rate swaps are designated as effective hedges and are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and the corresponding payables are included in other current liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
As of March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants related to its long-term obligations.
Debt Covenants
The senior secured credit agreement, the senior unsecured credit agreement and the indentures governing the notes contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s (and the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain
64
preferred shares; create liens on assets; engage in mergers and consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; repay subordinated indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; make investments, loans or advances; make certain acquisitions; and in the case of the Company’s senior credit agreement, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, amend material agreements governing the Company’s subordinated indebtedness (including the senior subordinated notes) and change the Company’s lines of business.
The credit facilities and indentures governing the notes also contain change of control provisions and certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. As of March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to its long-term obligations. The Company’s long-term debt obligations do not contain any financial maintenance covenants.
Subject to certain exceptions, the credit agreements and the indentures governing the notes will permit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. None of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries or Puerto Rico subsidiaries is a guarantor of the loans or notes.
As market conditions warrant and subject to the Company’s contractual restrictions and liquidity position, we, the Company’s affiliates and/or the Company’s major equity holders, including Blackstone and its affiliates, may from time to time repurchase the Company’s outstanding debt securities, including the notes and/or the Company’s outstanding bank loans in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender or otherwise. Any such repurchases may be funded by incurring new debt, including additional borrowings under the Company’s existing credit facility. Any new debt may also be secured debt. We may also use available cash on the Company’s balance sheet. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Further, any such purchases may result in the Company’s acquiring and retiring a substantial amount of any particular series, with the attendant reduction in the trading liquidity of any such series.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On April 10, 2007, in connection with the Acquisition, we entered into a $1.8 billion senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of: (i) an approximately $1.4 billion term loan facility consisting of Dollar Term-1 Loans (the “Dollar Term-1 Loans) and Euro Term Loans (the “Euro Term Loans”) and (ii) a $350 million revolving credit facility. We are required to repay the term loans in quarterly installments equal to 1% per annum of the original funded principal amount for the first six years and nine months, with the remaining amount payable on April 10, 2014. These repayments commenced on September 28, 2007.
The revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings. Borrowings under the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to an applicable margin over either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest per annum published byThe Wall Street Journal from time to time, as the “prime lending rate” and (2) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% or (b) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits in the currency of such borrowing for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. The weighted-average interest rates during fiscal 2012 were approximately 3.76% and 3.25% for the Euro-denominated and US-dollar denominated term loans, respectively, and approximately 4.0% for the revolving credit facility.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under our senior secured credit facilities, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility with respect to the unutilized commitments thereunder. The initial commitment fee is 0.5% per annum. The commitment fee may be reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios. We are also required to pay customary letter of credit fees. The senior secured credit facilities are subject to amortization and prepayment requirements and contain certain covenants, events of default and other customary provisions.
On June 1, 2011, the Company and certain lenders amended the Credit Agreement in order to extend the maturity for certain Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments. In particular, the Company
65
converted $200.25 million of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans into new Revolving Tranche-2 Commitments and Revolving Tranche -2 Loans. The amendment set the applicable margin for the Revolving Tranche -2 Loans to a percentage per annum equal to (i) in the case of euro currency rate loans, 3.75%, and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 2.75%, which may be reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios. In addition, the Company extended the final maturity date of the converted facility to the ninth anniversary or April 10, 2016, subject to certain conditions regarding the refinancing or repayment of the Company’s term loans, the senior toggle notes, the senior subordinated notes and certain other unsecured debt, which would cause the final maturity date to be an earlier date.
On February 17, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of the CTS Business, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement. The amendment provided senior secured financing consisting of a $400 million incremental term loan facility (the “Dollar Term-2 Loans”) pursuant to the exercise of the accordion feature under the Credit Agreement. The Dollar Term-2 Loans have substantially similar terms as the Dollar Term-1 Loans. The Company used the proceeds from the Dollar Term-2 Loans, along with cash on hand, to finance the acquisition of the CTS Business. The amendment set the applicable margin for the Dollar Term-2 Loans to a percentage per annum equal to (i) in the case of euro currency rate loans, 4.00%, subject to a floor of 1.25% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 3.00%, subject to a floor of 2.25%. The Dollar Term-2 Loans will mature on the earlier of (i) September 15, 2017 and (ii) the 91st day prior to the maturity of Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes or any permitted refinancing thereof; provided such Senior Subordinated Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal amount in excess of $100.0 million. The Company is required to repay installments on the Dollar Term-2 Loans in quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of their funded total principal amount, with the remaining amount payable on the date of maturity.
On February 24, 2012, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement to convert $796.8 million of Dollar Term-1 Loans into new Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans (the “Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans”) and €207.7 million of Euro Term Loans into new Extended Euro Term Loans (the “Extended Euro Term Loans”) with the consent solely of those lenders that agreed to convert their Dollar Term-1 Loans and/or Euro Term Loans, respectively. The Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans and the Extended Euro Term Loans have substantially similar terms as the Dollar Term-1 Loans and Euro Term Loans. The amendment set the applicable margin for the Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans and Extended Euro Term Loans to a percentage per annum equal to (i) in the case of euro currency rate loans, 4.00% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 3.00%. The final maturity date of the Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans and Extended Euro Term Loans was extended to the earlier of (i) September 15, 2016 and (ii) the 91 day prior to the maturity of the Company’s Senior Notes or any permitted refinancing thereof; provided such Senior Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal amount in excess of $100.0 million. On March 1, 2012, the Company entered into the Extension Amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to extend the maturity of an additional $11.0 million of Dollar Term-1 Loans into new Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans. In addition, the borrowing capacity of the $350.0 million revolving credit facility was reduced to $200.25 million in order to maintain a cost effective debt structure which is appropriate for our financing needs.
On April 27, 2012, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement in order to permit the Company to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to $205 million of Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans (the “Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans”) with the consent of only the lenders agreeing to provide such Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans. The proceeds from the Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans were used to prepay in full all outstanding non-extended Dollar Term-1 Loans under the Credit Agreement. The Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans have identical terms with, and the same rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement as, the outstanding Dollar Term-2 Loans.
On February 28, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Agreement in order to permit the Company to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to $659.5 million of Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans and $799.3 million of Refinancing Dollar Term-1 Loans, the proceeds of which were used to repay the outstanding Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans, Dollar Term-2 Loans and non-extended Euro Term Loans.
66
Following this amendment, the new Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans bear interest, at Company’s option, at a rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate plus 3.25% (reduced from 4.00% for the previously outstanding Dollar Term-2 Loans), subject to a floor of 1.00% (reduced from 1.25% for the previously outstanding Dollar Term-2 Loans), or the Base Rate plus 2.25% (reduced from 3.00% for the previously outstanding Dollar Term-2 Loans), subject to a floor of 2.00% (reduced from 2.25% for the previously outstanding Dollar Term-2 Loans). The Refinancing Dollar Term-1 Loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate plus 3.50% (reduced from 4.00% for the previously outstanding Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans) or the Base Rate plus 2.50% (reduced from 3.00% for the previously outstanding Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans).
Senior Unsecured Term Loan Facility
On April 29, 2013, the Company entered into a senior unsecured term loan facility in order to borrow an aggregate principal amount of $275 million of unsecured term loans (the “Unsecured Loans”) due December 31, 2017. The proceeds from the Unsecured Loans will be used to redeem all $269.1 million remaining principal outstanding of the Company’s Senior Toggle Notes (as defined below) at par plus accrued and unpaid interest as of May 29, 2013, the date of redemption. The Unsecured Loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate plus 5.25%, subject to a floor of 1.25%, or the “Base Rate” plus 4.25%, subject to a floor of 2.25%. The Base Rate is equal to the higher of either the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or the rate of interest per annum published by the Wall Street Journal from time to time, as the “prime lending rate.” The “Eurocurrency Rate” is determined by reference to the British Bankers Association Interest Settlement rate for deposits in dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. The Company is not required to repay installments on the Unsecured Loans and is only required to repay the Unsecured Loans on the date of maturity.
Senior Notes
On April 10, 2007, in connection with the Acquisition, we issued $565.0 million of 9.5%/ 10.25 % senior PIK-election fixed rate notes due 2015 (“Senior Toggle Notes”). The Senior Toggle Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. Interest on the Senior Toggle Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, which commenced on October 15, 2007. The PIK election feature expired with the interest period ended April 15, 2011. Therefore all remaining interest payments on the Senior Toggle Notes are to be paid entirely in cash at the cash interest rate of 9.5%. On and after April 15, 2011, we may redeem the Senior Toggle Notes at par plus specified declining premiums set forth in the indenture plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
In September 2012, we announced the commencement of a tender offer to purchase for cash up to $350 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding Senior Toggle Notes. On September 18, 2012, Catalent purchased $45.9 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Toggle Notes at a price of $47.1 million plus accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to the tender offer. On November 1, 2012, we redeemed $304.1 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Toggle Notes for an aggregate price of $311.4 million plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with this transaction we paid $8.5 million of call premiums and expensed $3.3 million of unamortized deferred finance costs. These expenses are recorded within “Other Income/Expense” in our statement of operations. The remaining Senior Toggle Notes were redeemed on May 29, 2013 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
On September 18, 2012, we issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes (the “7.875% Notes” and, together with the Senior Toggle Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The 7.875% Notes will mature on October 15, 2018 and interest is payable on the 7.875% Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2013. The 7.875% Notes were offered in a private offering 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 offshore transactions in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 7.875% Notes were issued at a price of 100.0% of their principal amount. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the 7.875% Notes to finance a portion of its tender offer for the Senior Toggle Notes and partial
67
redemption of the Senior Toggle Notes as described above. We may redeem these notes at par plus specified declining premiums set forth in the senior subordinated indenture plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
Senior Subordinated Notes
On April 10, 2007, in connection with the Acquisition, we issued €225.0 million 9 3/4% Euro-denominated ($300.3 million dollar equivalent at the exchange rate effective on the issue date) Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”). The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company (including the senior credit facilities and the Senior Toggle Notes). Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, which commenced on October 15, 2007.
We may redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes at par plus specified declining premiums set forth in the senior subordinated indenture plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
Guarantees and Security
All obligations under the senior secured credit agreement, the senior unsecured term loan, the Senior Toggle Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes (together, the “notes”) are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing U.S. wholly-owned subsidiaries, other than the Company’s Puerto Rico subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the following assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions:
| • | | a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the Company and 100% of the equity interests directly held by the Company and each guarantor in any wholly-owned material subsidiary of the Company or any guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any non-U.S. subsidiary of a U.S. subsidiary, will not include more than 65% of the voting stock of such first-tier non-U.S. subsidiary); and |
| • | | a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and of each guarantor, subject to certain limited exceptions. |
Historical and Adjusted EBITDA
Management measures operating performance based on consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, expense/(benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization and is adjusted for the income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest (“EBITDA from continuing operations”). EBITDA from continuing operations is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is subject to important limitations.
We believe that the presentation of EBITDA from continuing operations enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We believe this measure is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business and use this measure for business planning purposes. In addition, given the significant investments that we have made in the past in property, plant and equipment, depreciation and amortization expenses represent a meaningful portion of our cost structure. We believe that EBITDA from continuing operations will provide investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods of our ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to undertake capital expenditures because it eliminates depreciation and amortization expense. We present EBITDA from continuing operations in order to provide supplemental information that we consider relevant for the readers of the Consolidate Financial Statements, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede U.S. GAAP measures. Our definition of EBITDA from continuing operations may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
68
In addition, we evaluate the performance of our segments based on segment earnings before minority interest, other (income)/expense, impairments, restructuring costs, interest expense, income tax expense/(benefit), and depreciation and amortization (“Segment EBITDA”).
Under the indentures governing the notes and the unsecured credit agreement, our ability to engage in certain activities such as incurring certain additional indebtedness, making certain investments and paying certain dividends is tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA (which is defined as “EBITDA” in the indentures and the unsecured credit agreement). Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definitions in the Company’s indentures, is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and is subject to important limitations. We have included the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA for the period presented. Adjusted EBITDA is the covenant compliance measure used in certain covenants under the indentures governing the notes and the unsecured credit agreement, particularly those governing debt incurrence and restricted payments. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA is earnings/(loss) from continuing operations. Included in this prospectus is a reconciliation of earnings/(loss) from continuing operations to EBITDA from continuing operations and to Adjusted EBITDA.
In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we add back certain non-cash, non-recurring and other items that are included in the definitions of EBITDA and consolidated net income as required in the indentures governing the notes and the unsecured credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA, among other things:
| • | | does not include non-cash stock-based employee compensation expense and certain other non-cash charges; |
| • | | does not include cash and non-cash restructuring, severance and relocation costs incurred to realize future cost savings and enhance our operations; |
| • | | adds back noncontrolling interest expense, which represents minority investors’ ownership of certain of our consolidated subsidiaries and is, therefore, not available to us; and |
| • | | includes estimated cost savings which have not yet been fully reflected in our results. |

Interest Rate Risk Management
A portion of the debt used to finance the Company’s operations is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. We may use various hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate assets and liabilities. The primary interest rate exposure as of March 31, 2013 is to interest rate
70
fluctuations in the United States and Europe, especially USD LIBOR and EURIBOR interest rates. We currently use interest rate swaps as the derivative instruments in these hedging strategies. The derivatives used to manage the risk associated with the Company’s floating USD LIBOR and EURIBOR rate debt were designated as effective cash flow hedges. The derivative used to manage the risk associated with the Company’s floating TIBOR (Tokyo inter-bank Domestic Yen Offered rate) rate debt is an effective economic hedge but is not designated as an effective cash flow hedge for financial reporting purposes.
Currency Risk Management
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the EUR-USD exchange rate on its investments in foreign operations in Europe. While the Company does not actively hedge against changes in foreign currency, we have mitigated the exposure of our investments in our European operations by denominating a portion of our debt in Euros. At March 31, 2013, the Company had Euro denominated debt outstanding of $540.9 million that qualifies as a hedge of a net investment in foreign operations. For non-derivatives designated and qualifying as net investment hedges, the effective portion of the translation gains or losses are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a loss of $13.2 million within cumulative translation adjustment. The net accumulated gain of this net investment as of March 31, 2013 included within Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) was approximately $70.7 million. For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $5.4 million, in the consolidated statement of operations related to a portion of its Euro-denominated debt not designated as a net investment hedge. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $7.5 million.
Amounts are reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.
Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our future contractual obligations as of June 30, 2012:

Purchase obligations disclosed above may include estimates of the time period in which cash outflows will occur. Purchase orders entered into in the normal course of business and authorizations to purchase that involve no firm commitment from either party are excluded from the above table. In addition, contracts that can be unilaterally cancelled with no termination fee or with proper notice are excluded from our total purchase obligations except for the amount of the termination fee or the minimum amount of goods that must be purchased during the requisite notice period. |

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
With the exception of operating leases we do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2012.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations as a result of certain market risks. These market risks primarily relate to changes in interest rates associated with our long-term debt obligations and foreign exchange rate changes. We utilize derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, in order to mitigate risk associated with our variable rate debt.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the economic effect of variable rate interest obligations associated with our floating rate term loans and so that the interest payable on the term loans effectively becomes fixed at a certain rate, thereby reducing the impact of future interest rate changes on our future interest expense. As of March 31, 2013, we had four interest rate swap agreements that have the economic effect of modifying the variable interest obligations associated with our floating rate term loans due in April and May 2013. These agreements include two U.S. dollar-denominated, one Euro-denominated and one Yen-denominated interest rate swap agreements.
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had three outstanding interest rate derivatives which were designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes, with a combined notional value of $760.0 million and €240.0 million. These instruments are designated for financial accounting purposes as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. In addition, the Company has a Japanese yen interest rate swap which is economically effective but is not designated as an effective hedge for financial reporting and is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as other (income)/expense.
On February 28, 2013, in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s €44.9 million Euro term loan, Catalent de-designated €35.0 million of the €240.0 million notional Euribor-based interest rate swap. Prior to de-designation, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss). The other comprehensive income/(loss) balance associated with the de-designated portion of the derivative will be reclassified to earnings when either the originally hedged forecasted interest payments on the hedged debt affect earnings or at the time the originally forecasted transactions become probable of not occurring.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
By nature of our global operations, we are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate variation. These exposures are transactional and translational in nature. Since we manufacture and sell our products throughout the world, our foreign currency risk is diversified. Principal drivers of this diversified foreign exchange exposure include the European euro, British pound, Argentinean peso, Brazilian real and Australian dollar. Our transactional exposure arises from the purchase and sale of goods and services in currencies other than the functional currency of our operational units. We also have exposure related to the translation of financial statements of our foreign divisions into U.S. dollars, our functional currency. The financial statements of our operations outside the U.S. are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate the assets and liabilities of these foreign operations in U.S. dollars are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) utilizing period-end exchange rates. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses calculated by utilizing weighted average exchange rates for the period are included in the statements of operations in “other expense, net”. Such foreign currency transaction gains and losses include inter-company loans denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies.

Selected key customers include Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly, Merck, Novartis and Roche. We have many long-standing relationships with our customers, particularly in advanced delivery technologies, where a prescription pharmaceutical product relationship will often last for nearly two decades, extending from mid-clinical development through the end of the product’s life cycle. We serve customers who require innovative product development, superior quality, advanced manufacturing and skilled technical services to support their development and marketed product needs.
We believe our customers value us because our depth of development solutions and advanced delivery technologies, consistent and reliable supply, geographic reach, and substantial expertise enable us to create a broad range of business and product solutions that can be customized to fit their individual needs. The aim of our offerings is to allow our customers to bring more products to market, and develop and market differentiated new products that improve patient outcomes. We believe our leading market position, significant global scale, and diversity of customers, offerings, regulatory categories, products, and geographies reduce our exposure to potential strategic and product shifts within the industry. In fiscal 2012, our revenues and were $1,694.8 million.
Our history of innovation in the advanced delivery of pharmaceutical products formed the foundation of our market-leading business. We have a track record of nearly eight decades of oral dose form innovation, since we first transformed the softgel manufacturing process in the 1930s. We launched the oral dissolving tablet category by commercializing our Zydis® technology in the 1980s and, in 2001, introduced an advanced softgel capsule shell, VegiCaps® Soft capsules. Our GPEx® cell line technology for biologics can help bring innovator, bio-similar and bio-better products to the market more rapidly. Today we employ more than 1,000 scientists and technicians and hold approximately 1,400 patents and patent applications in advanced delivery, drug and biologics formulation and manufacturing. We apply this portfolio to actively support current and future revenue generation, and we may receive license and exclusivity fees and/or royalties for certain technologies
In recent years we have continued to expand our advanced delivery technology portfolio. In fiscal 2011, we acquired a novel molecular optimization platform, OptiFormTM from GlaxoSmithKline, providing drug developers a new way to identify the best form of a molecule to take forward into development. In 2011, we also in-licensed a development stage oral dissolving tablet alternative, LyoPanTM, which we are progressing towards commercialization. In fiscal 2012, we licensed the novel OptiDoseTM controlled release technology from Sanwa Kagaku Kenkyusho Co., Ltd., a commercially successful platform which enables novel modified release options for oral solid dose forms. We also launched OptiMeltTM hot melt technology capabilities enabling new dose form options, based on growth investments in capabilities and capital assets, and in April 2012 entered into a broad collaboration with BASF in this area. We also have formed active partnerships to extend our technology
73
reach, including collaborations with Bend Research for multiparticulate oral controlled-release products and with Toyobo Biologics Inc. related to GPEx® and biologics manufacturing, and have active collaborations with research universities around the world. We believe our own internal innovation activities, supplemented by current and future external partnerships and collaborations, will continue to strengthen and extend our leadership position in the industry for delivery of drugs, biologics and consumer health products.
We created our Development & Clinical Services business in fiscal 2010 which unified all of our existing development activities, to address the needs of our pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers for solutions to increasingly complex product development challenges. We have continued to invest to expand the capabilities and capacity of our development solutions, including substantial expansions of cold-chain capabilities for clinical supplies. In fiscal 2012, we substantially expanded the scale of this business with the CTS Acquisition.
On February 17, 2012, we closed our acquisition of Aptuit’s CTS business for approximately $400 million (the “CTS Acquisition”). The acquisition substantially expands our business, transforming us into the second largest global provider of clinical supply solutions, and enhances our leading global position in development solutions and advanced delivery technologies for drugs, biologics and consumer health products.
The Aptuit CTS business was a leading supplier of clinical trial materials and logistics to the global biopharmaceutical industry. It operated in two segments: Clinical Packaging and Logistics (“CP&L”) and Pharma Development and Manufacturing (“PDM”) business. CP&L packaged, stored and coordinated the distribution of drugs for use in clinical trials. PDM provided drug formulation, analytical testing, and small scale manufacturing services. The business has been integrated into our Development and Clinical Services business.

History
Catalent was formed in April 2007, when we were acquired by affiliates of The Blackstone Group (“Blackstone”). Prior to that, we formed the core of the Pharmaceutical Technologies and Services (“PTS”) segment of Cardinal Health, Inc. (“Cardinal”). PTS was in turn created by Cardinal through a series of acquisitions, with the intent of creating the world’s leading outsourcing provider of specialized, market-leading solutions to the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. In 1998, R.P. Scherer Corporation, the market leader in advanced oral drug delivery technologies, was acquired by Cardinal. In 1999, Cardinal acquired Automated Liquid Packaging, Inc., the market leader in blow-fill-seal technology for respiratory treatments, ophthalmics, and other areas. In 2001, Cardinal purchased International Processing Corporation, a provider of oral solid dose forms. In 2002, PTS entered the fee-for-service development solutions market with the acquisition of Magellan Labs, a leader in the provision of analytical sciences services to the U.S. pharmaceuticals industry. Finally, in 2003, Cardinal acquired Intercare Group PLC, through which we expanded our European injectable manufacturing network. During the period from 1996 through 2006 we also made other selective acquisitions of businesses, facilities and technologies in all segments, including our legacy pharmaceutical packaging segment.
Subsequent to our 2007 acquisition, we have regularly reviewed our portfolio of offerings and operations in the context of our strategic growth plan. As a result of those ongoing assessments, since 2007 we have sold five businesses, including two injectable vial facilities in the U.S., a French oral dose facility, a printed components business (with four facilities), and, in fiscal 2012, our North American commercial packaging business. Concurrent with the sale of the North American commercial packaging business, the Packaging Services segment ceased to be a reportable segment within continuing operations. In addition, the Sterile Technologies segment has been renamed Medication Delivery Solutions. We have also consolidated operations at two other facilities into the remaining facility network since our acquisition by Blackstone.

Development and Clinical Services
Our Development & Clinical Services segment provides manufacturing, packaging, storage and inventory management for drugs and biologics in clinical trials. We offer customers flexible solutions for clinical supplies production, and provide distribution and inventory management support for both simple and complex clinical trials. This includes dose form manufacturing or over-encapsulation where needed; supplying placebos, comparator drug procurement and clinical packages and kits for physicians and patients; inventory management; investigator kit ordering and fulfillment; and return supply reconciliation and reporting. We support trials in all regions of the world through our facilities and distribution network. In Fiscal 2012 we substantially expanded this business via the Aptuit CTS acquisition in February 2012 (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).
We also offer analytical chemical and cell-based testing and scientific services, respiratory products formulation and manufacturing, regulatory consulting, and bioanalytical testing for biologic products. Our respiratory product capabilities include development services for inhaled products for delivery via metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and nasal sprays. Demand for our offerings is driven by the need for scientific expertise and depth and breadth of services offered, as well as by the reliable supply thereof, including quality, execution and performance. We provide global regulatory and clinical support services for our customers’ regulatory and clinical strategies during all stages of development.
Oral Technologies
Our Oral Technologies segment provides advanced oral delivery technologies, including formulation, development and manufacturing of oral dose forms for prescription and consumer health products. These oral dose forms include softgel, modified release and immediate release solid oral technology products. At certain facilities we also provide integrated primary packaging services for the products we manufacture.
Through our Softgel Technologies business, we provide formulation, development and manufacturing services for soft gelatin capsules, or “softgels”, which we first commercialized in the 1930s. We are the market leader in overall softgel manufacturing, and hold the leading market position in the prescription arena. Our principal softgel technologies include traditional softgel capsules (in which the shell is made from animal-derived materials) and VegiCaps capsules (in which the shell is made from vegetable-derived materials), which are used in a broad range of customer products including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and vitamins and supplements. Softgel capsules encapsulate liquid, paste or oil-based active compounds in solution or suspension into an outer shell, filling and sealing the capsule simultaneously. Softgels have historically been used to solve formulation challenges or technical issues for a specific drug, to help improve the clinical performance of compounds, to provide important market differentiation, particularly for over-the-counter compounds, and to provide safe handling of hormonal, potent and cytotoxic drugs. We also participate in the softgel vitamin, mineral and supplement business in selected regions around the world. With the 2001 introduction of our vegetable-derived softgel shell, VegiCaps capsules, drug and consumer health manufacturers have been able to extend the softgel dose form to a broader range of active ingredients and serve patient/consumer populations that were previously inaccessible due to religious, dietary or cultural preferences. Our VegiCaps capsules are patent protected in most major global markets. Physician and patient studies we have conducted have demonstrated a preference for softgels versus traditional tablet and hard capsule dose forms in terms of ease of swallowing, real or perceived speed of delivery, ability to remove or eliminate unpleasant odor or taste and, for physicians, perceived improved patient adherence with dosing regimens.
Through our Modified Release Technologies business we provide formulation, development and manufacturing services for fast-dissolve tablets and both proprietary and conventional controlled release products. We launched our orally dissolving tablet business in 1986 with the introduction of Zydis tablets, a unique oral dosage form that is freeze-dried in its package, can be swallowed without water, and typically dissolves in the
77
mouth in less than three seconds. Most often used for indications, drugs and patient groups that can benefit from rapid oral disintegration, the Zydis technology is utilized in a wide range of products and indications, including treatments for a variety of central nervous system-related conditions such as migraines, Parkinson’s’ Disease, schizophrenia, and pain-relief. Zydis tablets continue to be used in new ways by our customers as we extend the application of the technology to new categories, such as for immunotherapies, vaccines and biologics delivery. We have recently added two new technology platforms to the Modified Release business portfolio, including the highly flexible OptiDose technology, already commercially proven in Japan, and the development stage LyoPan oral dissolving tablet technology. We plan to continue to expand the development pipeline of customer products for all of our Modified Release technologies. Representative Modified Release Technology business customers include Pfizer, Novartis, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson.
Medication Delivery Solutions
Our Medication Delivery Solutions segment provides formulation, development and manufacturing services for delivery of drugs and biologics, administered via injection, inhalation and ophthalmic routes, using both traditional and advanced technologies. Our range of injectable manufacturing offerings includes filling drugs or biologics into pre-filled syringes and bags, with flexibility to accommodate other formats within our existing network, focused increasingly on complex and difficult products. With our range of technologies we are able to meet a wide range of specifications, timelines and budgets. The complexity of the manufacturing process, the importance of experience and know-how, regulatory compliance, and high start-up capital requirements create significant barriers to entry and, as a result, limit the number of competitors in the market. For example, blow-fill-seal is an advanced aseptic processing technology which uses a continuous process to form, fill with drug, and seal a plastic container in a sterile environment. Blow-fill-seal units are currently used for a variety of pharmaceuticals in liquid form, such as respiratory, ophthalmic and optic products. We are a leader in the outsourced blow-fill-seal market, and operate one of the largest capacity commercial manufacturing blow-fill-seal facilities in the world. Our sterile blow-fill-seal business provides flexible and scalable solutions for unit-dose delivery of complex formulations such as suspensions and emulsions, as well as innovative design and engineering container design and manufacturing solutions. Our regulatory expertise can lead to decreased time to commercialization, and our dedicated development production lines support feasibility, stability and clinical runs. We plan to continue to expand our product line in existing and new markets, and in higher margin specialty products with additional respiratory, ophthalmic, and injectable applications. Representative customers include Pfizer, Sanofi-Aventis, Novartis and Roche.
Our biologics offerings include our formulation development and cell-line manufacturing based on our advanced and patented Gene Product Expression (“GPEx”) technology, which is used to develop stable, high-yielding mammalian cell lines for both innovator and bio-similar biologic compounds. Our GPEx® technology can provide rapid cell line development, high biologics production yields, flexibility and versatility. We are investing in expanded capability and capacity to produce clinical scale biologic supplies; once complete, combined with offerings from other parts of Catalent and external partners, we can enable a developer of new biologic entities, biosimilars or biobetters to bring a product from gene to market commercialization, faster.
Development and Product Supply Chain Solutions
In addition to our proprietary offerings, we are also differentiated in the market by our ability to offer a broad range of innovative development and product supply solutions which can be combined or tailored in many ways to enable our customers take their drugs, biologics and consumer health products from laboratory to market. Once a product is on the market, we can provide comprehensive integrated product supply, from the sourcing of the bulk drug to comprehensive manufacturing and packaging to the testing required for release to distribution. Customer solutions we develop are flexible, scalable and creative, so that they meet the unique needs of both large and emerging companies, and for products of all sizes. We believe that our development and product supply solutions will continue to contribute to our future growth.

Sales and Marketing
Our target customers include large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, mid-size, emerging and specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and consumer health companies, along with companies in other selected healthcare market segments. We have longstanding, extensive relationships with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers. In Fiscal 2012, we did business with 83 of the top 100 global pharmaceutical marketers, 41 of the top 50 biotechnology marketers, and approximately 1,000 other customers. faced with access, pricing and reimbursement pressures as well as other market challenges, large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have increasingly sought partners to enhance the clinical competitiveness of their drugs and biologics and improve their R&D productivity, while reducing their fixed cost base. Many mid-size, emerging and specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, while facing the same pricing and market pressures, have chosen not to build a full infrastructure, but rather to partner with other companies—through licensing agreements, collaborations or outsourcing—to access the critical skills, technologies and services required to bring their products to market. Consumer health companies require rapidly-developed, innovative dose forms and formulations to keep up in the fast-paced over-the-counter medication and vitamins markets. These market segments are all critically important to our growth, but require distinct solutions, marketing and sales approaches, and market strategy.
We follow a hybrid demand generation organization model, with global and growth account teams offering the full breadth of Catalent’s solutions to selected accounts, and technical specialist teams providing the in-depth technical knowledge and practical experience essential for each individual offering. All business development and field sales representatives ultimately report to a single sales head, and significant investments have been made in enhancing their skills and capabilities. Our sales organization currently consists of more than 160 full-time, experienced sales professionals, supported by inside sales and sales operations. We also have completed building a dedicated strategic marketing team, providing strategic market and product planning and management for our offerings. Supporting these marketing plans, we participate in major trade shows relevant to the offerings globally and ensure adequate visibility to our offerings and solutions through a comprehensive print and on-line advertising, professional training and publicity program.
Global Accounts
We manage selected accounts globally due to their materiality and growth potential by establishing strategic plans, goals and targets. We recorded approximately 47% of our total revenue in Fiscal 2012 from these global accounts. These accounts are assigned a dedicated business development professional with substantial industry experience. These account leaders, along with members of the executive leadership team, are responsible for managing and extending the overall account relationship. Growing sales, profitability, and increasing account penetration are key goals and are directly linked to compensation. Account leaders also work closely with the rest of the sales organization to ensure alignment around critical priorities for the accounts.
Emerging, Specialty and Virtual Accounts
Emerging, specialty and virtual pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are expected to be a critical driver of industry growth globally. Historically, many of these companies have chosen not to build a full infrastructure, but rather partner with other companies to produce their products. We expect them to continue to do so in the future, providing a critical source for future integrated solution demand. We expect to continue to increase our penetration of geographic clusters of emerging companies in North America, Europe, South America and Asia. We regularly use active pipeline screening and customer targeting to identify the optimal candidates for partnering based on product profiles, funding status, and relationships, to ensure that our technical sales specialists and field sales representatives develop custom solutions designed to address the specific needs of customers in the market.
79
Contractual Arrangements
We generally enter into a broad range of contractual arrangements with our customers, including agreements with respect to feasibility, development, supply, licenses, and quality. The terms of these contracts vary significantly depending on the offering and customer requirements. Some of our agreements may include a variety of revenue arrangements such as fee-for-service, royalties, profit-sharing and fixed fees. We generally secure pricing and contract mechanisms in our supply agreements that allow for periodic resetting of pricing terms and, in some cases, these agreements provide for our ability to renegotiate pricing in the event of certain price increases for the raw materials utilized in the products we make. Our typical supply agreements include indemnification from our customers for product liability and intellectual property matters and caps on Catalent’s contractual liabilities, subject in each case to negotiated exclusions. In addition, our typical manufacturing supply agreement terms range from two to five years with regular renewals of one to three years, although some of our agreements are terminable upon much shorter notice periods, such as 30 or 90 days. For our development solutions offerings, we may enter into master service agreements, which provide for standardized terms and conditions, which make it easier and quicker for customers with multiple development needs to access Catalent’s offerings.
Manufacturing Capabilities
We operate manufacturing facilities, development centers and sales offices throughout the world. We have twenty-seven facilities on five continents with 4.7 million square feet of manufacturing, lab and related space. Our manufacturing capabilities include the full suite of competencies relevant to support each site’s activities, including regulatory, quality assurance and in-house validation at all of the production sites.
We operate our plants in accordance with cGMP. More than half of our facilities are registered with the U.S. FDA, with the remaining facilities being registered with other applicable regulatory agencies, such as the EMA. In some cases certain facilities are registered with multiple regulatory agencies.
We have invested approximately $367 million in our manufacturing facilities since Fiscal 2008 through improvements and expansions in our facilities including approximately $104 million on capital expenditures in Fiscal 2012. We believe that our facilities and equipment are in good condition, are well maintained and are able to operate at or above present levels for the foreseeable future, in all material respects.
Our manufacturing operations are focused on employee health and safety, regulatory compliance, operational excellence, continuous improvement, and process standardization across the organization. Our manufacturing operations are structured around an enterprise management philosophy and methodology that utilizes principles and tools common to a number of quality management programs including Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing.
Raw Materials
We use a broad and diverse range of raw materials in the design, development and manufacture of products. This includes, but is not limited to key materials such as gelatin, starch, and iota carrageenan for the Oral Technologies segment; packaging films for our and Development & Clinical Services segments, and resin for our blow-fill-seal business in our Medication Delivery Solutions segment. The raw materials that we use are sourced externally on a global basis. Globally, our supplier relationships could be interrupted due to natural disasters and international supply disruptions, including those caused by pandemics, geopolitical and other issues. For example, the supply of gelatin is obtained from a limited number of sources. In addition, much of the gelatin we use is bovine-derived. Past concerns of contamination from Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (“BSE”) have narrowed the number of possible sources of particular types of gelatin. If there were a future disruption in the supply of gelatin from any one or more key suppliers, there can be no assurance that we could obtain an alternative supply from our other suppliers. If future restrictions were to emerge on the use of bovine-derived
80
gelatin from certain geographic sources due to concerns of contamination from BSE, any such restriction could hinder our ability to timely supply our customers with products and the use of alternative non-bovine-derived gelatin for specific customer products could be subject to lengthy formulation, testing and regulatory approval.
We work very closely with our suppliers to assure continuity of supply while maintaining excellence in material quality and reliability, and we have an active and effective supplier audit program. We continually evaluate alternate sources of supply, although we do not frequently pursue regulatory qualification of alternative sources for key raw materials due to the strength of our existing supplier relationships, the reliability of our current supplier base and the time and expense associated with the regulatory process. Although a change in suppliers could require significant effort or investment by us in circumstances where the items supplied are integral to the performance of our products or incorporate specialized material such as gelatin, we do not believe that the loss of any existing supply arrangement would have a material adverse effect on our business. See “Risk Factor”—Our future results of operations are subject to fluctuations in the costs, availability, and suitability of the components of the products we manufacture, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients, purchased components, and raw materials.”
Competition
We compete on several fronts both domestically and internationally, including competing with other companies that offer advanced delivery technologies or development services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer health companies based in North America, South America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. We also may compete with the internal operations of those pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer health manufacturers that choose to source these services internally, where possible.
Competition is driven by proprietary technologies and know-how (where relevant), consistency of operational performance, quality, price, value and speed. While we do have competitors who compete with us in our individual technology platforms, we do not believe we have competition from any directly comparable companies.
Employees
We have approximately 8,700 employees in twenty-seven facilities on five continents: ten facilities are in the United States, with certain employees at one of which being represented by a labor organization with their terms and conditions of employment being subject to a collective bargaining agreement. National work councils and/or labor organizations are active at all twelve of our European facilities consistent with labor environments/laws in European countries. Similar relationships with labor organizations or national work councils exist in our plants in Argentina, Brazil and Australia. Our management believes that our employee relations are satisfactory.

Approximate Number of Employees | | | 3,300 | | | | 4,100 | | | | 700 | | | | 600 | | | | 8,700 | |
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of know-how, trade secrets, patents, copyrights and trademarks and other intellectual property laws, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions and technical measures to protect a number of our offerings, services and intangible assets. These proprietary rights are important to our ongoing operations. We operate under licenses from third parties for certain patents, software and information technology systems and proprietary technologies and in certain instances we license our technology to third parties. We also have a long track record of innovation across our lines of business and, to further encourage active innovation, we have developed incentive compensation systems linked to patent filings and other recognition and reward programs for scientists and non-scientists alike.
81
We have applied in the United States and certain foreign countries for registration of a number of trademarks, service marks and patents, some of which have been registered and issued, and also hold common law rights in various trademarks and service marks. We hold approximately 1,400 patents and patent applications worldwide in advanced drug delivery and biologics formulations and technologies, and manufacturing and other areas.
We hold patents and license rights relating to certain aspects of our formulations, nutritional and pharmaceutical dosage forms, mammalian cell engineering, and sterile manufacturing services. We also hold patents relating to certain processes and products. We have a number of pending patent applications in the United States and certain foreign countries, and intend to pursue additional patents as appropriate. We have enforced and will continue to enforce our intellectual property rights in the United States and worldwide.
We do not consider any particular patent, trademark, license, franchise or concession to be material to our overall business.
Regulatory Matters
The manufacture, distribution and marketing of the products of our customers in this industry are subject to extensive ongoing regulation by the FDA, other government authorities and foreign regulatory authorities. Certain of our subsidiaries may be required to register for permits and/or licenses with, and will be required to comply with operating and security standards of, the Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”), the FDA, the Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”), the European Union (“EU”) member states and various state boards of pharmacy, state health departments and/or comparable state agencies as well as foreign agencies, and certain accrediting bodies depending upon the type of operations and location of product distribution, manufacturing and sale.
In addition, certain of our subsidiaries may be subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, The Public Health Service Act, the Controlled Substances Act and comparable state and foreign regulations, and the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act.
Laws regulating the manufacture and distribution of products also exist in most other countries where our subsidiaries conduct business. In addition, the international manufacturing operations are subject to local certification requirements, including compliance with domestic and/or foreign good manufacturing practices and quality system regulations established by the FDA and/or applicable foreign regulatory authorities.
We are also subject to various federal, state, local, foreign and transnational laws, regulations and recommendations, both in the United States and abroad, relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices and the use, transportation and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. In addition, U.S. and international import and export laws and regulations require us to abide by certain standards relating to the importation and exportation of finished goods, raw materials and supplies and the handling of information. We are also subject to certain laws and regulations concerning the conduct of our foreign operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Anti-Bribery Act and other anti-bribery laws and laws pertaining to the accuracy of our internal books and records.
The costs associated with complying with the various applicable federal regulations, as well as state, local, foreign and transnational regulations, could be significant and the failure to comply with such legal requirements could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Reference is made to Item 1A Risk Factors for additional discussion of the costs of associated with complying with the various regulations.
Quality Assurance
We are committed to creating and maintaining the highest standard of regulatory compliance while providing high quality products to our customers. To meet these commitments, we have developed and implemented a Catalent wide quality management system throughout the organization that we believe is
82
appropriate. Our senior management team is actively involved in setting quality policies, standards and internal position papers as well as managing internal and external quality performance. Our quality assurance department provides quality leadership and supervises our quality systems programs. An internal audit program monitors compliance with applicable regulations, standards and internal policies. In addition, our facilities are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA and other equivalent local, state and foreign regulatory authorities and customers. All FDA, DEA and other regulatory inspectional observations have been resolved or are on track to be completed at the prescribed timeframe provided in response to the agency. We believe that our operations are in compliance in all material respects with the regulations under which our facilities are governed. We have more than 1,000 employees around the globe focusing on quality and regulatory compliance.
Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those of the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and equivalent state, local and foreign regulatory agencies in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, soil and groundwater contamination and employee health and safety. Our manufacturing facilities use, in varying degrees, hazardous substances in their processes. These substances include, among others, chlorinated solvents, and in the past chlorinated solvents were used at one or more of our facilities, including a number we no longer own or operate. As at our current facilities, contamination at such formerly owned or operated properties can result and has resulted in liability to us, for which we have recorded appropriate reserves as needed.
Properties
Our principal executive offices are located at 14 Schoolhouse Road, Somerset, New Jersey. We also operate manufacturing operations, development centers and sales offices throughout the world. We have twenty-seven facilities on five continents with approximately 4.7 million square feet of manufacturing, lab and related space. Our manufacturing capabilities encompass a full suite of competencies including regulatory, quality assurance and in-house validation at all of the production sites.

Legal Proceedings
Beginning in November 2006, the Company, along with several pharmaceutical companies, has been named in civil lawsuits filed by individuals allegedly injured by their use of the prescription acne medication Amnesteem® , a branded generic form of isotretinoin, and in some instances of isotretinoin products made and/or sold by other firms as well. Currently, the Company is a named defendant in one hundred and thirty-nine pending isotretinoin lawsuits. Plaintiffs allege that they suffer from inflammatory bowel disease and other disorders as a result of their ingestion of Amnesteem. The geographic distribution of these one hundred and thirty-nine lawsuits is as follows: one in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina that has been transferred to the Accutane (isotretinoin) federal Multi-District Litigation (“Accutane MDL”) in the Middle District of Florida; two in the Court of Common Pleas, Washington County, Pennsylvania; two cases filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco have been moved to the Middle District of Northern California; and one hundred and thirty-four in the Superior Court, Atlantic County, New Jersey. The New Jersey cases and several of the other cases have been brought by a consortium of plaintiffs’ law firms, including Seeger Weiss LLP. The following discussion contains more detail about the lawsuits.
One hundred and thirty-four lawsuits are pending in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Atlantic County by individual plaintiffs who claim to have ingested Amnesteem, and, in some cases, one or more competing branded generic isotretinoin products, including Sotret® (Ranbaxy) and/or Claravis® (Barr), as well as Accutane (the innovator isotretinoin product sold by Hoffmann-La Roche). One hundred and eight of these cases allegedly involve the use of both Accutane and one or more of the branded generic forms of isotretinoin. Such cases, which include one or more Roche entities as defendants, are filed as part of the New Jersey consolidated mass tort proceeding set up in 2005 for all Accutane lawsuits pending in New Jersey state courts. The remaining twenty-six cases do not involve the use of Accutane, but allegedly involve the use of one or more branded generic isotretinoin products, including Amnesteem. These cases are not part of the Accutane mass tort litigation; these non-mass tort, generics-only cases have been consolidated for discovery purposes but not for trial. All one hundred and thirty-four of the cases pending in New Jersey, both mass tort and non-mass tort, are assigned to the same judge. In addition to the Company, these lawsuits name the pharmaceutical companies whose respective isotretinoin products each plaintiff allegedly ingested.
Two lawsuits involving only Amnesteem use are pending in the Court of Common Pleas, Washington, County, Pennsylvania. One lawsuit was filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, Durham County, North Carolina, but was removed to the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, Durham Division. Pursuant to a tolling agreement, the case had been dismissed without prejudice pending the outcome of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit’s review of the decision of the Accutane MDL Court to exclude plaintiff’s general causation expert. On August 26, 2008, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the exclusion of plaintiff’s expert, and a subsequent petition for rehearing was denied. Plaintiffs have since re-filed the case in the Middle District of North Carolina and the Company successfully moved to transfer the case to the Accutane MDL in the Middle District of Florida.
84
On June 26, 2012, a motion to Dismiss with Prejudice was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Atlantic County, Law Division, dismissing two hundred and twenty-nine of the Accutane Litigation Group cases filed against the Company. To date, a total of two hundred and thirty-six cases have been dismissed against the Company.
Although expressed in various terms, generally speaking, all one hundred and thirty-nine lawsuits set forth some or all of the standard array of product liability claims, including strict liability for defective design, strict liability for failure to warn, negligence (in both design and warnings), fraud and misrepresentation, and breach of warranty. The lawsuits seek unspecified amounts of compensatory and punitive damages. The Company believes it has valid defenses to these lawsuits and intends to vigorously defend them.
From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, inquiries and claims concerning environmental contamination as well as litigation and allegations in connection with acquisitions, product liability, manufacturing or packaging defects and claims for reimbursement for the cost of lost or damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients, the cost of which could be significant. Based on advice of counsel and available information, including current status or stage of proceeding, and taking into account accruals for matters where we have established them, we currently believe that any liabilities ultimately resulting from these ordinary course claims and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the healthcare industry is highly regulated and government agencies continue to scrutinize certain practices affecting government programs and otherwise.
From time to time, we receive subpoenas or requests for information from various government agencies, including from state attorneys general and the U.S. Department of Justice relating to the business practices of customers or suppliers. We generally respond to such subpoenas and requests in a timely and thorough manner, which responses sometimes require considerable time and effort and can result in considerable costs being incurred by us. We expect to incur additional costs in the future in connection with existing and future requests.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This section contains a discussion of the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our President and Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, each of our three other most highly compensated executive officers who served in such capacities at the end of our fiscal year on June 30, 2012, collectively known as the “Named Officers.”
Our executive compensation program is determined and approved by our compensation committee. Over the course of the year our President and Chief Executive Officer provides written assessments of his performance against his specific annual performance goals and objectives to the Board of Directors at each quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors. The compensation committee takes into account the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations regarding the compensatory arrangements for our executive officers other than himself. Our President and Chief Executive Officer provided the final compensation recommendations for our Named Officers (“NEOs”) to the compensation committee for review and approval. The other NEOs do not have any role in determining or recommending the form or amount of compensation paid to our NEOs. Our President and Chief Executive Officer is not a member of the compensation committee.
Executive Compensation Program Objectives and Overview
Our current executive compensation program is intended to achieve two fundamental objectives: (1) attract, motivate and retain high caliber talent; and (2) align executive compensation with achievement of our overall business goals, adherence to our core values and stockholder interests. In structuring our current executive compensation program, we are guided by the following basic philosophies:
Competitive Compensation. Our executive compensation program should provide a fair and competitive compensation opportunity that enables us to attract and retain high caliber executive talent. Executives should be appropriately rewarded for their contributions to our successful performance.
“Pay for Performance.” A significant portion of each executive’s compensation should be “at risk” and tied to overall company, business unit and individual performance.
Alignment with Stockholder Interests. Executive compensation should be structured to include variable elements that link executives’ financial rewards to stockholder return. The equity portion of each executive’s compensation should be significant.
94
As described in more detail below, the material elements of our executive compensation program for NEOs include base salary, cash bonus opportunities, a long-term equity incentive opportunity, a deferred compensation opportunity and other retirement benefits and welfare benefits. The NEOs may also receive severance payments and other benefits in connection with certain terminations of employment or a change in control of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. We believe that each element of our executive compensation program helps us to achieve one or more of our compensation objectives, as illustrated by the table below.
| | |
Compensation Element | | Compensation Objectives Designed to be Achieved |
Base Salary | | • Attract, motivate and retain high caliber talent |
| |
Cash Bonus Opportunity | | • Compensation “at risk” and tied to achievement of business goals and individual performance |
| |
Long-Term Equity Incentive Opportunity | | • Align compensation with the creation of stockholder value and achievement of business goals |
| |
Deferred Compensation Opportunity and Other Retirement Benefits | | • Attract, motivate and retain high caliber talent |
| |
Severance and Other Benefits Potentially Payable Upon Termination of Employment or a Change in Control | | • Attract, motivate and retain high caliber talent |
| |
Welfare Benefits | | • Attract, motivate and retain high caliber talent |
These individual compensation elements are intended to create a total compensation package for each NEO that we believe achieves our compensation objectives and provides competitive compensation opportunities. During Fiscal Year 2012 we did not retain an independent compensation consultant to conduct a formal numeric benchmarking process for the NEOs’ compensation opportunities. On a periodic basis, we review market data provided by Towers Watson and other commercially available compensation surveys to ensure that our executive compensation program is competitive.
Employment Agreements
On December 14, 2011 we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Chiminski in recognition of his contributions to the continued growth and excellent performance of Catalent, which letter agreement further amends his employment agreement. The letter agreement provided for changes in certain financial terms including an increase to Mr. Chiminski’s base salary and target annual bonus.
On October 11, 2011, for retention purposes, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Walsh which replaced the terms of his original offer letter and severance agreement entered into in 2008. The terms of the agreement included an increase in Mr. Walsh’s base salary and the grant of an option and RSU award.
A full description of the material terms of Mr. Chiminski’s letter agreement and Mr. Walsh’s new employment agreement is presented below in the narrative section following the Grants of Plan Based Awards in Fiscal 2012 table.
Executive Compensation Program Elements
Base Salaries
Base salaries are an important element of compensation because they provide the Named Officers with a base level of income. Generally our NEOs are eligible for an adjustment to their base salaries on an 18-month cycle. Adjustments may occur earlier or later depending on performance and market competitiveness. During Fiscal 2012, in recognition of their performance, we adjusted the salaries for Messrs. Downie, Houlton, and Khichi. The Summary Compensation Table below shows the base salary paid to each NEO along with base salary adjustments, in the corresponding footnotes, during fiscal 2012.
95
Cash Bonus Opportunities
Annual Cash Bonus Opportunity
We sponsor a management incentive plan (the “MIP”), which is not set forth in a formal plan document. All of our NEOs are eligible to participate in the MIP. The primary purpose of the MIP is to focus management on key measures that drive financial performance and provide competitive bonus opportunities tied to the achievement of our financial and strategic growth objectives.
Fiscal 2012 MIP
A target annual bonus, expressed as a percentage of base salary, is established within certain NEO’s employment agreements or offer letters and may be adjusted from time to time by the compensation committee in connection with an NEO’s promotion. The MIP award, which is a cash bonus, is tied to our overall financial results (the Business Performance Factor) and a combination of individual financial and/or strategic goals appropriate for each position (the Individual Performance Factor).
In 2011, the compensation committee accepted a recommendation by the Company’s senior management to make certain changes to the MIP formula for fiscal years beginning with fiscal 2012. The recommendations as they relate to the executive officers had two primary impacts on the MIP formula: (1) revenue was added as a second financial performance metric in determining the aggregate funding level and the Named Officer’s Business Performance Factor and (2) the Individual Performance Factor for the Named Officers will now be additive and other than with respect to Mr. Chiminski, will account for 20% of such Named Officer’s MIP award at target and the Business Performance Factor will account for 80% of the MIP Award at target. The compensation committee accepted the recommendation to add revenue as a second financial metric in order to better align the MIP award with our strategic growth objectives. The compensation committee made the Individual Performance Factor additive and provided that it would account for 20% of an NEO’s actual MIP award at target in order to shift the focus of the MIP to achievement of financial performance. For fiscal 2012, achievement relative to the specified revenue target accounted for 25% of the Business Performance Factor and achievement relative to the specified internally-adjusted EBITDA target accounted for the remaining 75% of the Business Performance Factor. Internally-adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA from continuing operations calculated on a constant currency basis and may be adjusted for non-cash and non-recurring items. The actual fiscal 2012 MIP award for the NEOs (other than Mr. Chiminski) is capped at 150% of the NEO’s target annual bonus. The actual fiscal 2012 MIP award for the NEOs (other than Mr. Chiminski) is the product of their target annual bonus multiplied by the sum of (1) the Business Performance Factor achievement percentage (20% multiplied by the revenue payout percentage plus 60% multiplied by the internally-adjusted EBITDA payout percentage) and (2) their Individual Performance Factor achievement percentage (20% multiplied by the individual performance payout percentage). For Mr. Chiminski, his actual fiscal 2012 MIP award is the product of his target annual bonus multiplied by the sum of (1) the Business Performance Factor achievement percentage (25% multiplied by the revenue payout percentage plus 75% multiplied by the internally-adjusted EBITDA payout percentage) and (2) his Individual Performance Factor and cannot exceed 200% of his target annual bonus.
With respect to the NEOs, financial performance is measured 100% at the company-wide level. Financial performance relative to specified financial performance targets set by the Board of Directors determines the aggregate funding level and the Business Performance Factor for the MIP. In order for there to be any payment under the MIP, financial performance with respect to the internally-adjusted EBITDA target must meet or exceed 90% of target. If the financial performance target(s) set by the Board of Directors are met, the aggregate bonus pool amount will be set at 100% of the target amount in the annual operating budget and the specified financial performance target payout percentages will be set at 100%, subject to the compensation committee’s discretion. If financial performance exceeds the targets, the aggregate bonus pool amount and the specified financial performance target payout percentages are increased above 100%, up to a maximum of 150%, based on a pre-established scale. If financial performance does not meet target, the bonus pool amount and the specified
96
financial performance target payout percentages are decreased from 100% based on the pre-established scale. Pursuant to the pre-established scale, each 1% change in the specified financial performance results in relation to the target amount equates to a 5% change in the applicable financial performance payout percentages ( i.e., exceeding the financial performance target by 5% equates to a payout percentage of 125% and financial performance at 90% of the specified financial performance target equates to a payout percentage of 50%). The compensation committee has the discretion to adjust the MIP aggregate bonus pool amount and the Business Performance Factor determined by reference to the pre-established scale upwards or downwards to address special situations.
We believe that tying the NEOs’ bonuses to company-wide performance goals encourages collaboration across the executive leadership team. We attempt to establish the financial performance target(s) at challenging levels that are reasonably attainable if we meet our performance objectives. For fiscal 2012, we used internally-adjusted EBITDA and revenue as measures of financial performance because we believe that they provide a reliable indicator of our strategic growth and the strength of our cash flow and overall financial results. In determining the actual Business Performance Factor, the achievement of internally-adjusted EBITDA against target is weighted 75% while the achievement of revenue against target is weighted 25%. The fiscal 2012 internally-adjusted EBITDA performance target was $372 million and our actual internally-adjusted EBITDA performance for fiscal 2012 was $383 million. The fiscal 2012 revenue performance goal was $1,576 million and our revenue performance for fiscal 2012 was $1,622 million. In calculating the fiscal 2012 Business Performance Factor, our compensation committee determined that the effect of our mid-year purchase of Aptuit’s Clinical Trial Services unit should be excluded from the fiscal 2012 financial results. Therefore, based on this financial performance, the internally-adjusted EBITDA payout percentage was 115% and the revenue payout percentage was 115%, which therefore resulted in a Business Performance Factor achievement percentage of 92%.
After setting the Business Performance Factor, the compensation committee determines the actual bonuses paid to the NEOs based on an assessment of each NEO’s Individual Performance Factor. Other than with respect to Mr. Chiminski, the Individual Performance Factor payout percentage (which only impacts 20% of an NEO’s MIP award) can range from 0% to 150%. Mr. Chiminski’s Individual Performance Factor (which is not weighted and impacts his entire MIP award) can range from 0% to 100% and is based on the compensation committee’s overall assessment of his individual performance based on the achievement of his personal strategic and financial objectives that are set at the beginning of the fiscal year. For fiscal 2012, Mr. Chiminski’s individual goals and objectives for his individual performance factor related to the following five areas and were assigned the following weightings: revenue and strategic growth initiatives (30%), in-organic growth initiatives (20%), cash management and margin objectives (10%), operational excellence/quality compliance objectives (20%) and Chief Executive Officer leadership and organization vitality objectives (20%). The compensation committee performs the assessment of Mr. Chiminski’s Individual Performance Factor after reviewing the written assessments of his performance against his specific goals and objectives that Mr. Chiminski provides at each quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors. The Chief Executive Officer together with the Senior Vice President Human Resources performs the assessment of the other Named Officer’s Individual Performance Factors and makes a recommendation to the compensation committee. The compensation committee approved the amount of each NEO’s final bonus in respect of fiscal 2012 in August 2012. The annual bonus that each NEO earned in respect of fiscal 2012 is presented in the Summary Compensation Table below.
Fiscal 2013 MIP
In 2012, the compensation committee accepted a recommendation by the Company’s senior management to make certain changes to the MIP formula for fiscal years beginning with fiscal 2013. The recommendations as they relate to the executive officers are as follows: (1) the hurdle point at which the MIP pool begins to fund has been raised from 90% of achievement against financial targets to 95% achievement; and (2) the pre-established payout percentage scale has been adjusted only with respect to financial performance between 105% and 110% of financial target achievement. For fiscal year 2013, the financial performance payout percentages will increase by 7.5% for each 1.0% increase in specified financial performance target attainment between 105% and 110%
97
achievement of our financial goals. Currently the specified financial performance payout percentages increase by 5.0% for each 1% of specified financial performance target attainment. As a result of this change in the pre-established scale, the maximum financial performance payout percentage attainable at 110% achievement of financial targets has been increased from 150% to 162.5%. The compensation committee accepted the recommendations as a way to more closely align incentive payouts with the achievement of financial targets and to enhance the value created through incremental achievement above financial targets.
Sign-on Bonuses
From time to time, our compensation committee may award sign-on bonuses in connection with the commencement of an NEO’s employment with us. Sign-on bonuses are used only when necessary to attract highly skilled officers to the Company. Generally they are used to incentivize candidates to leave their current employers, or may be used to offset the loss of unvested compensation they may forfeit as a result of leaving their current employers. Sign-on bonuses are typically subject to a claw-back obligation if the officer voluntarily terminates his employment with us within twelve months of the employment commencement date.
Discretionary Bonuses
From time to time, our compensation committee may award discretionary bonuses in addition to any annual bonus payable under the MIP in recognition of extraordinary performance. For fiscal 2012, our compensation committee awarded Messrs. Walsh, Houlton, and Khichi a discretionary bonus of $185,000, $100,000, and $150,000 respectively in recognition of their superior performance in fiscal 2012.
Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards
We believe that the NEOs’ long-term compensation should be directly linked to the value we deliver to our stockholders. Equity awards to the NEOs are designed to provide long-term incentive opportunities over a period of several years. Stock options are currently our preferred equity award because the options will not have any value unless the underlying shares of common stock appreciate in value following the grant date. Accordingly, awarding stock options causes more compensation to be “at risk” and further aligns our executive compensation with the long term profitability of the Company and the creation of shareholder value. The 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan also permits PTS Holdings Corp. to grant other types of equity-based awards, such as restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other “full value” awards. For example, PTS Holdings Corp. granted Mr. Chiminski 3,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and Mr. Walsh 500 RSUs (see “Description of Equity-Based Awards” below) to align Messrs. Chiminski’s and Walsh’s interests with those of our stockholders.
Another key component of our long-term equity incentive program is that NEOs and other eligible employees are provided with the opportunity to invest in the common stock of PTS Holdings Corp. on the same general terms as the Investors. We consider this investment opportunity an important part of our equity program because it encourages stock ownership and aligns the NEOs’ financial interests with those of our stockholders.
The amounts of each NEO’s investment opportunity and stock option and/or RSU award, as applicable, were determined based on several factors, including: (1) each NEO’s position and expected contribution to our future growth; (2) dilution effects on our stockholders and the need to maintain the availability of an appropriate number of shares for option awards to less-senior employees; and (3) ensuring that the NEOs were provided with appropriate and competitive total long-term equity compensation and total compensation amounts. The number of options and/or RSUs, as applicable, granted to NEOs during fiscal 2012 and the grant date fair value of these options and/or RSUs, as applicable, as determined under FASB ASC Topic 718 are presented in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2012 table below. A description of the material terms of the stock option and RSU awards is presented in the narrative section following the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2012 table.
98
Generally, options are granted to senior level officers based on their position in the Company. Historically, grants have not been made on an annual basis, and instead are made upon an executive’s commencement of employment with us or when an executive receives promotions into more senior level positions.
In connection with entering into a new employment agreement, on October 11, 2011, Mr. Walsh was granted 500 RSUs and an additional 1,500 options, the vesting terms of which are described below under “Summary of Certain Named Officer Employment Agreements—Description of Equity-Based Awards”.
On May 25, 2012, to increase his cumulative number of option awards so that it is comparable to other officers at his level and to recognize his performance, Mr. Houlton was granted an additional 500 options, the vesting terms of which are described below under “Summary of Certain Named Officer Employment Agreements—Description of Equity-Based Awards”.
Deferred Compensation Opportunity Other Retirement Benefits
Catalent Pharma Solutions, LLC Deferred Compensation Plan
Our NEOs are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan and our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The non-qualified deferred compensation plan generally allows participants to defer on a pre-tax basis up to 20% of their base salaries and 100% of their annual cash bonuses. We believe that providing the NEOs with deferred compensation opportunities is a market based benefit plan necessary for us to deliver competitive benefit packages. This plan allows its participants to receive the tax benefits associated with delaying the income tax event on the compensation deferred even though our related deduction is also deferred. The non-qualified deferred compensation plan also provides for two types of discretionary company contributions to supplement the amounts deferred by the NEOs and other eligible employees, subject to certain limits. In January 2009, we elected to suspend our employer contribution and, in February 2009, we elected to suspend our matching contribution. Effective February 1, 2010, we reinstated our matching contribution based on the strength of our financial results; however we did not reinstate the employer contribution. We currently match 50% of the first 6% of eligible pay that employees contribute to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan up to the first $100,000 above the IRS qualified plan limits. The Nonqualified Deferred Compensation—Fiscal 2012 table and related narrative section below describe our non-qualified deferred compensation plan and the benefits it provides.
Chiminski RSU Bonus Election; Obligation to Purchase Common Stock
Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Chiminski’s employment agreement, in addition to the shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock that he has already purchased, Mr. Chiminski was required to use 50% of the after-tax proceeds of any payment he received as an annual MIP bonus while employed paid in respect of fiscal 2010 or 2011, in each case, to promptly purchase shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock.
On June 30, 2010, we, PTS Holdings Corp. and Mr. Chiminski entered into a letter agreement, which modified certain terms of Mr. Chiminski’s employment agreement. The primary purpose of the letter agreement was to provide Mr. Chiminski with a more tax-advantaged mechanism to satisfy his employment agreement obligation to purchase PTS Holdings Corp. common stock. Specifically, the letter agreement permits Mr. Chiminski to irrevocably elect on an annual basis, prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, commencing with fiscal 2011, in lieu of receiving a portion of his annual MIP bonus in cash, to receive a grant of fully vested RSUs settleable in shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock, which RSUs will be granted on the bonus payment date. Mr. Chiminski made such an election for fiscal 2011, and received 50% of his annual MIP bonus in respect of such fiscal year in the form of a grant of RSUs. For elections in respect of any fiscal year after fiscal 2011, Mr. Chiminski may elect to receive no less than 20% of his annual MIP bonus, if any, in the form of a grant of RSUs. The number of RSUs Mr. Chiminski receives will be based on the value of the portion of the annual MIP bonus he elects to defer into RSUs and the fair market value of a share of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock on the bonus payment date. For each of fiscal 2012 and 2013, Mr. Chiminski did not elect to receive fully vested RSUs in lieu of a portion of his annual MIP bonus.
99
All grants made in connection with an annual MIP bonus election will be subject to a separate RSU agreement, which provides that the RSUs will be 100% vested on the date of grant (which will be the bonus payment date) and will be settled in shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock on the earlier to occur of a change in control of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. and the sixth anniversary of the date of grant.
Other Retirement Benefits
In addition to our 401(k) plan and non-qualified deferred compensation plan, we have three frozen defined-benefit pension plans. These pension plans were originally established by R.P. Scherer Corporation and its affiliates, which was a predecessor corporation that was acquired by Cardinal Health. In connection with the Acquisition, we agreed with Cardinal Health to assume liability for benefits provided under these pension plans, subject to receiving certain asset transfers from Cardinal Health and its benefit plans. All three plans are currently closed to new participants and frozen with respect to benefit accruals. None of the NEOs are currently eligible to participate in the frozen defined-benefit pension plans. In connection with his relocation to the U.S., we agreed to permit Mr. Downie’s continued his participation in the Catalent Pharma Solutions UK Pension Plan. The Catalent Pharma Solutions UK Pension Plan is a defined contribution plan open to all employees of our Catalent Pharma Solutions Limited UK entity. The plan provides for an employer matching contribution of between 5% and 8% of eligible base salary compensation dependent upon the participant contributing between 3% and 6% of eligible base salary compensation.
Severance and Other Benefits
We believe that severance protections can play a valuable role in attracting and retaining high caliber talent. In the competitive market for executive talent, we believe severance payments and other termination benefits are an effective way to offer executives financial security to offset the risk of foregoing an opportunity with another company. For example, we offer each NEO an enhanced outplacement benefit. Consistent with our objective of using severance payments and benefits to attract and retain executives, we generally provide each NEO with amounts and types of severance payments and benefits that we believe will permit us to attract and/or continue to employ the individual NEO.
The severance benefits under these agreements are generally more favorable than the benefits payable under our general severance policy. For example, we offer each NEO a severance benefit payable upon a termination by the NEO for good reason or by us without cause. The good reason definition in these agreements would only be triggered by adverse circumstances that we believe would give rise to a constructive termination of employment.
At our discretion, we may also provide certain executives with enhancements to our existing benefits that are not available to other employees, such as relocation assistance. As part of Mr. Chiminski’s amended employment contract he is eligible to receive reimbursement (on a tax grossed-up basis), on an annual basis during each calendar year of the employment term, for the reasonable cost of (1) premiums for an executive life insurance policy (not to exceed $15,000) and (2) financial services/planning (not to exceed $15,000). In connection with Mr. Walsh’s employment agreement, we agreed to reimburse him for legal fees (not to exceed $15,000).
Section 162(m) Not Applicable
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation over $1,000,000 paid for any year to a corporation’s principal executive officer or an individual acting in such a capacity and the three most highly compensated executive officers (not including the principal executive officer or the principal financial officer). Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code applies to corporations with any class of common equity securities required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Because we do not currently have any publicly held common stock, Section 162(m)’s restrictions do not currently apply to us.

Per the terms of Mr. Chiminski’s December 2011 letter agreement, effective December 12, 2011, his base salary was increased from $750,000 to $850,000. On October 11, 2011, Mr. Walsh entered into a new employment agreement which replaced the offer letter and severance agreement entered into in 2008. The financial terms of Mr. Walsh’s employment agreement included an increase in base salary from $494,000 to $600,000, effective September 26, 2011. Furthermore, Catalent’s practice is to review executive compensation on an 18 month cycle. Actual changes in compensation may occur earlier based on performance and market competitiveness. As a result, Messrs. Downie, Houlton and Khichi each received an increase in base salary. Mr. Downie’s base salary was increased from $375,000 to $395,000, effective December 12, 2011. Effective April 1, 2012, Mr. Houlton’s base salary was increased from $385,000 to $410,000 and Mr. Khichi’s base salary was increased from $405,000 to $439,000. |

Summary of Certain Named Officer Employment Agreements
This section describes employment agreements in effect for our NEOs during fiscal 2012. In addition, the terms with respect to grants of RSUs and stock options described above under “Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards” are further described below for our NEOs in the section entitled “Description of Equity-Based Awards.” Severance agreements and arrangements are described below in the section entitled “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”
Employment Agreement of John R. Chiminski
On December 12, 2011, we, our indirect parent, PTS Holdings Corp. and John Chiminski, President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), effective as of December 12, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), which modifies certain terms of Mr. Chiminski’s employment agreement with the Company and PTS Holdings Corp., dated February 23, 2009, as amended by the letter agreements among the Company, PTS Holdings Corp. and Mr. Chiminski, dated October 30, 2009 and June 29, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”).
103
The letter agreement provides for a new three-year employment term commencing on December 12, 2011, which initial term will be automatically extended for successive one-year periods thereafter unless one of the parties provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least sixty days prior to the end of the applicable term.
The financial terms of the letter agreement include (1) an increased annual base salary of $850,000, subject to discretionary increases from time to time and (2) continued participation in our management incentive plan, with an increased target annual cash bonus amount equal to $1,000,000 and a maximum of 200% of such target amount. Any payment under the management incentive plan with respect to fiscal 2012 will be pro-rated to reflect the increase in Mr. Chiminski’s target bonus amount.
In addition to the foregoing, we have also agreed to reimburse Mr. Chiminski (on a tax grossed-up basis), on an annual basis during each calendar year of the employment term, for the reasonable cost of (1) premiums for an executive life insurance policy (not to exceed $15,000) and (2) financial services/planning (not to exceed $15,000).
The financial terms of Mr. Chiminski’s employment agreement dated February 23, 2009 included (1) a cash payment of $375,000 paid on June 30, 2010, in lieu of any annual cash bonus in respect of fiscal 2009 , and (2) a cash sign-on bonus of $1,000,000 paid on his employment commencement date of which $250,000 was to be invested by Mr. Chiminski in PTS Holdings Corp. common stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share (he invested $100,000 on his commencement date and the remaining portion was to be invested on a later date as mutually agreed upon by the parties. Mr. Chiminski was required to repay the entire portion of the sign-on bonus that was not used to purchase PTS Holdings Corp. common stock within thirty days following any termination of employment by him without good reason (and not due to death or disability) or by PTS Holdings Corp. or us for cause, in either case, prior to the second anniversary of his commencement date. In addition to the requirement to purchase $250,000 worth of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock, Mr. Chiminski was required, pursuant to his employment agreement, to use 50% of the after-tax proceeds of his annual MIP bonus paid in respect of fiscal 2010 or 2011, in each case, to promptly purchase shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock. Mr. Chiminski’s total investment in PTS Holdings Corp. common stock is subject to a cap of $2,500,000.
On October 23, 2009, we and PTS Holdings Corp. entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Chiminski, which modified Mr. Chiminski’s obligation to purchase shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock by reducing the purchase price from $1,000 per share to $750 per share. This reduced purchase price was also applied to the 100 shares that he purchased on March 17, 2009. Accordingly, Mr. Chiminski was refunded $25,000 and then immediately used such amount to purchase an additional 33.333 shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock. On October 5, 2009, Mr. Chiminski used 50% of the after-tax proceeds of his 2009 bonus payment (which was a gross amount of $375,000) to purchase 124 shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock at $750 per share for $93,000. Mr. Chiminski purchased 150 shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock in July 2010 and an additional 500 shares in September 2010. The shares were purchased at $750 per share pursuant to the terms of the October 23, 2009 letter agreement. However, subsequent to these purchases, we determined that the actual market value of the shares was $850 per share as of June 30, 2011. Therefore, since the shares were purchased at a $65,000 discount to their market value, the amounts reported in the “All Other Compensation” column for fiscal year 2011 of the Summary Compensation Table reflected the compensation cost computed in accordance with FASB Topic 718 with respect to the purchases.
In addition, on June 30, 2011, we, PTS Holdings Corp. and Mr. Chiminski entered into a second letter agreement, which permits Mr. Chiminski to irrevocably elect on an annual basis, prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, in lieu of receiving a portion of his annual MIP bonus, if any, in cash, to receive a grant of fully vested RSUs settleable in shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock, which RSUs will be granted on the bonus payment date (see “—Deferred Compensation Opportunity—Chiminski RSU Bonus Election”).
In addition to the foregoing, Mr. Chiminski is entitled to participate in all group health, life, disability, and other employee benefit and perquisite plans and programs in which other senior executives of Catalent generally participate.
104
Employment Agreement of Matthew Walsh
On October 11, 2011, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Walsh, effective as of September 26, 2011. The employment agreement replaces the offer letter and severance agreement that Mr. Walsh entered into in 2008 in connection with the commencement of his employment with the Company.
The employment agreement provides for an initial term of three years commencing on September 26, 2011, which will be automatically extended for successive one-year terms thereafter unless one of the parties provides the other with notice of non-renewal.
The financial terms of the employment agreement include (1) an increased annual base salary of $600,000, effective as of September 26, 2011, subject to discretionary increases from time to time and (2) and continued participation in the Company’s management incentive plan, with a target annual cash bonus amount equal to 75% of Mr. Walsh’s annual base salary. Any payment under the management incentive plan with respect to fiscal 2012 will be pro-rated to reflect the increase in Mr. Walsh’s annual base salary.
Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Walsh is subject to a covenant not to (x) compete with us while employed and for two years following his termination of employment for any reason and (y) solicit our employees, consultants and certain actual and prospective clients while employed and for two years following his termination of employment for any reason, in each case, subject to certain specified exclusions. The employment agreement also contains a covenant not to disclose confidential information.
In addition to the foregoing, Mr. Walsh’s employment agreement provides for the grant to Mr. Walsh, in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan, of 500 RSUs and non-qualified stock options to purchase 1,500 shares of PTS Holdings Corp.
A description of the terms of the awards is included below under “Description of Equity-Based Awards.”
Relocation Agreement for William Downie
In connection with Mr. Downie’s November 1, 2010 relocation assignment from our facility in Swindon, UK to our corporate offices in the U.S., he was afforded certain benefits for a period of 24 months from the effective date of his assignment that are generally included in our international relocation program. These benefits include shipment of household goods, eligibility to participate in our U.S. health and welfare benefit plans, continued participation in the Catalent Pharma Solutions UK Pension plan and the U.K. National Insurance Contribution program (the U.K. statutory retirement plan) , housing costs (grossed up for US taxes), continuation of his U.K. car allowance, and tax preparation.
Description of Equity-Based Awards
In connection with the commencement of his employment, on March 17, 2009, PTS Holdings Corp. granted Mr. Chiminski 2,000 RSUs and on October 23, 2009, PTS Holdings Corp. granted Mr. Chiminski an additional 1,000 RSUs in connection with his election to participate in the option exchange offer. Subject to Mr. Chiminski’s continued employment, on the applicable vesting dates 20% of the RSUs will vest on each of the first five anniversaries of the grant date. All vested RSUs will be settled on the earlier to occur of (x) the seventh anniversary of his commencement date or (y) the date that a change in control of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. occurs.
On September 18, 2009, PTS Holdings Corp. commenced an offer to all eligible option holders, including Messrs. Chiminski, Walsh and Khichi, to exchange their existing unvested options for new options with a lower per-share exercise price and new vesting terms. The number of shares of common stock underlying the new options was either more than, less than or equal to the number of shares of common stock underlying the option
105
holder’s then-existing options. All of the option holders who were eligible for the option exchange elected to participate in the exchange and were required to enter into a new option agreement that reflected the revised terms and an amendment to their then-existing option agreement that reflected the cancellation and forfeiture of their original unvested options. The exchange offer was completed on October 23, 2009.
The options granted to Mr. Houlton on October 23, 2009 were granted in connection with his offer of employment and have the same per-share exercise price and vesting terms as the new options granted to Messrs. Walsh and Khichi in connection with the option exchange. On May 25, 2012, Mr. Houlton received an additional 500 options to recognize his excellent performance and bring the total number of options granted to Mr. Houlton to an amount comparable to other officers at his level. Mr. Houlton’s May 25, 2012 option grant has a vesting reference date of April 1, 2012 which will be used to determine the vesting dates for his time-based and performance-based options.
Mr. Downie also received a grant of options on October 23, 2009 in recognition of his promotion to Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing that have the same per-share exercise price and vesting terms as the new options granted to Messrs. Walsh and Khichi in connection with the option exchange.
In connection with entering into Mr. Walsh’s new employment agreement, on October 11, 2011, PTS Holdings Corp. granted Mr. Walsh 500 RSUs and an additional 1,500 options. Subject to Mr. Walsh’s continued employment on the applicable vesting dates, the RSUs will vest as follows: 167 of the RSUs will vest on September 26, 2012, 166 of the RSUs will vest on September 26, 2013 and the remaining 166 RSUs will vest on September 26, 2014. All vested RSUs will be settled on the earlier to occur of (x) March 26, 2015 and (y) the date that a change in control of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. occurs. Similar to Mr. Walsh’s previously-granted options, the additional options are divided into 3 tranches for vesting purposes: one-half of the options are subject to time-based vesting restrictions, one-sixth of the options are subject to performance-based vesting restrictions and one-third of the options are subject to exit event-based vesting restrictions. The time-based options are scheduled to vest based on a three year vesting schedule (as opposed to the five year vesting schedule that Mr. Walsh’s previously-granted time-based options are subject to) and, subject to continued employment with Catalent through the applicable vesting reference dates, one-third of the options subject to time-based vesting will vest and become exercisable on each of September 26, 2012, September 26, 2013 and September 26, 2014. The performance-based vesting options are scheduled to vest and become exercisable with respect to one-sixth of the options subject to performance-based vesting on each of September 26, 2012, September 26, 2013 and September 26, 2014 (as opposed to the five year vesting schedule Mr. Walsh’s previously-granted performance-based options are subject to), if Catalent achieves specified EBITDA performance targets (subject to cumulative catch-up). Similar to Mr. Walsh’s existing exit options, the exit event-based vesting options will vest and become exercisable in two tiers if either the specified internal rate of return or multiple of investment targets are achieved. In the event of any termination of Mr. Walsh’s employment, all unvested RSUs and options which remain outstanding will be immediately forfeited without consideration as of the termination date; however, that in the event of a termination of Mr. Walsh’s employment (1) by the Company without cause, (2) by Mr. Walsh for good reason, (3) due to death or disability or (4) due to the Company’s election not to extend the employment term, Mr. Walsh will be deemed vested as of the termination date in any portion of the time-based option that would have otherwise vested if he had remained employed by the Company through the first anniversary of the termination date. In the event of a change in control of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C., all unvested RSUs and time-based options will become fully vested as of the change in control (or immediately prior to the change in control with respect to the options).
Each option may be exercised to purchase one share of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. Each NEO’s stock option award has an ordinary term of ten years. The NEOs are not entitled to any dividends or equivalent rights on their stock option awards.
Generally all NEO’s option awards are divided into three tranches for vesting purposes: a time option, a performance option and an exit option.
106
As noted above, one-half of the options are subject to time-based vesting restrictions, one-sixth of the options are subject to performance-based vesting restrictions and one-third of the options are subject to exit event-based vesting restrictions. However, to the extent any option holder had vested time options at the time of the exchange offer, the number of time options granted in the exchange offer was adjusted so that after the exchange offer one-half of the option holder’s aggregate options would be time-based. The time-based options are scheduled to vest based on a five year vesting schedule. Accordingly, other than with respect to Mr. Walsh’s most-recently granted options as noted above, subject to continued employment with us through the applicable vesting dates, 20% of the options subject to time-based vesting will vest and become exercisable on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant or vesting reference date, as applicable (or the date of commencement of employment, in the case of Mr. Chiminski). In addition, solely for Mr. Chiminski, to the extent that all or a fraction of the exit event-based vesting options vest, a proportionate amount of each tranche of unvested time-based options will vest. Subject to continued employment with us through the applicable vesting dates, the performance-based vesting options will vest and become exercisable with respect to 20% of the options subject to performance-vesting option on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant or vesting reference date, as applicable (which date is either before or after the end of the applicable fiscal year, depending on the grant date of the options), if we achieve specified EBITDA performance targets (subject to a cumulative catch-up). The exit event-based vesting options will vest and become exercisable in two tiers if either specified internal rate of return or multiple of investment targets are achieved as follows:
| • | | One-half of the shares subject to the exit event-vesting options will vest on the date, if any, when either (1) The Blackstone Group will have received cash proceeds or marketable securities from the sale of its investment in us aggregating in excess of 2.5 times the amount of its initial investment in us or (2) The Blackstone Group will have received a cash internal rate of return of at least 20% on its initial investment in us, and |
| • | | One-half of the shares subject to the exit event-vesting options will vest on the date, if any, when either (1) The Blackstone Group will have received cash proceeds or marketable securities from the sale of its investment in us aggregating in excess of 1.75 times the amount of its initial investment in us or (2) The Blackstone Group will have received a cash internal rate of return of at least 15% on its initial investment in us. |
However, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date, in the event that the 2.5 multiple hurdle or the 20% internal rate of return hurdle is not met, but the 1.75 multiple hurdle or the 15% internal rate of return hurdle is met, the first tier of options will vest based on straight line interpolation between the two points.
Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the stock option agreement, any part of a NEO’s stock option award that is not vested and exercisable upon his termination of employment will be immediately cancelled. With the exception of Mr. Chiminski, any part of a NEO’s stock option award that is vested upon termination of employment will generally remain outstanding and exercisable for three months after termination of employment (or, if later, until the 90th day following the date on which the options vest), although this period is extended to 12 months (or, if later, the first anniversary of the date on which the option vests) if the termination of employment is due to death or disability, and vested options will immediately terminate if the NEO’s employment is terminated by us for cause. Any vested options that are not exercised within the applicable post-termination exercise window will terminate. Any part of Mr. Chiminski’s stock option award that is vested upon termination of employment will generally remain outstanding and exercisable for three months after termination of employment or the date on which such portion of the option vests in the event of a termination other than a good termination or a termination by us or PTS Holdings Corp. for cause or one year after termination of employment in the case of a good termination and vested options will immediately terminate if Mr. Chiminski’s employment is terminated by us or PTS Holdings Corp. for cause. See “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below for a description of the potential vesting of the NEOs’ stock option and RSU awards that may occur in connection with a change in control of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. or certain terminations of employment.
107
As a condition to receiving his equity-based awards, each NEO was required to enter into a subscription agreement with PTS Holdings Corp., and to become a party to PTS Holdings Corp.’s securityholders agreement. These agreements generally govern the NEO’s rights with respect to any shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock acquired on exercise of vested stock options or settlement of RSUs, to the extent applicable. Under the subscription agreement, PTS Holdings Corp.’s and The Blackstone Group’s right to repurchase shares an NEO may have acquired upon exercise of his options or settlement of RSUs, to the extent applicable, lapsed on May 7, 2012. Such repurchase right only applies to individuals who become a participant in the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan on or after May 2012. Similarly, an NEO’s right to require PTS Holdings Corp. to repurchase the shares he acquired upon exercise of his options or settlement of RSUs to the extent applicable, in connection with a termination of his employment due to death or disability, lapsed on May 7, 2012. Such put right only applies to individuals who become a participant in the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan on or after May 2012. The purchase price for any such shares that are repurchased will be equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of repurchase, unless the participant’s employment is terminated by us for cause, in which case the purchase price will be the lower of the participant’s cost or fair market value on the date of repurchase. Any repurchase rights, to the extent applicable, will terminate on the earliest to occur of (1) a qualified public offering of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C., (2) the occurrence of a change in control of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. and (3) the fifth anniversary of the grant date (the “Lapse Date”). The subscription agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants. While employed and for one year following their termination of employment, NEOs are prohibited from competing with us and from soliciting our employees, consultants and certain actual and prospective clients. The subscription agreement also contains an indefinite restriction on the NEO’s disclosure of our confidential information. If an NEO materially breaches any of these restrictive covenants and is unable to cure the breach, we have the right to “clawback” and recover any gains the Named Officer may have realized with respect to his shares (and with respect to Mr. Chiminski only the shares acquired upon exercise of the options or settlement of RSUs). The securityholders agreement generally restricts individuals who become a participant in the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan on or after May 2012 from transferring any shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock they hold until the Lapse Date. These transfer restrictions do not apply to any permitted transfers to the NEOs’ family members, or to transfers in connection with a transaction or transactions where the “tag along” or “drag along” rights provided in the securityholders agreement would apply. Transfer restrictions that applied to the NEO lapsed on May 7, 2012. Following May 7, 2012, for the NEOs, and the Lapse Date, for individuals who become participants in the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan on or after May 2012, and prior to a qualified public offering of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C., PTS Holdings Corp. has certain rights of first refusal, which permit it (or a third party) to purchase any shares an NEO wishes to transfer instead of the NEO’s intended transferee.
Each NEO’s equity-based award was granted under, and is subject to the terms of, the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan. On September 8, 2010, this plan was amended to increase the total number of shares that may be issued under the plan to account for the granting of RSUs and the October 2009 option exchange. As a result, there are 77,525 shares for option grant purposes and 3,882 shares are set aside for the granting of RSUs for a total of 81,407 available under the plan. This plan is currently administered by PTS Holdings Corp.’s board of directors, and the board has the ability to interpret and make all required determinations under the plan. This authority includes making required proportionate adjustments to outstanding stock options to reflect any change in the outstanding common shares of PTS Holdings Corp. by reason of a reorganization, recapitalization, share dividend or similar transaction, and making provision to ensure that participants satisfy any required withholding taxes.
108
The following table provides information regarding outstanding equity awards held by each NEO as of June 30, 2012.

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan
We offer a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of our management. Eligible employees selected to participate in the plan may elect to defer between 1% and 20% of eligible compensation into the plan each year. Eligible compensation is defined as base salary, Management Incentive Plan bonus, commissions and other bonus amounts. We will provide a matching contribution on base salary only for all participants with the exception of sales people who are eligible to receive a company matching contribution on base salary, bonuses and commissions. Any income attributable to stock options or other equity-based awards is not eligible for deferral. Participating directors may elect to defer between 20% and 100% of their fees for service on our board of directors (including meeting fees) into the plan each year. In our discretion, each year we may elect to make certain company contributions to participants in the plan; however, the plan does not require us to make any such contributions. Company contributions can be either matching contributions or contributions equal to a percentage of a participant’s compensation (regardless of the amount deferred) which includes a contribution designed to supplement social security benefits. Any such contributions, however, are generally only
111
made with respect to the first $100,000 of a participant’s compensation in excess of the annual compensation limit under the Internal Revenue Code for each year (the limit is $250,000 for calendar year 2012). Participants are always 100% vested in their elective deferrals, and in any company matching contributions (including related earnings in each case). Participants become vested in other company contributions and related earnings after three years of service with us or upon retirement, death, total disability or a change in control of us.
Under the plan, we have the discretion to either credit participants’ deferrals with a hypothetical earnings rate, or to credit the deferrals with earnings and/or losses based on the deemed investment of the deferrals in investment alternatives selected by us, which investment alternatives generally include the investment funds available under our 401(k) plan. During fiscal 2012, participants were permitted to select the investment alternatives in which they wanted their deferrals to be deemed to be invested and were credited with earnings and/or losses based on the performance of the relevant investments. During fiscal 2012, the returns for the investment funds in which participating NEOs, Messrs. Chiminski, Walsh, and Khichi notionally invested their deferrals were 5.4%, 0.7%, and -5.3%, respectively. Participants were able to change the investment elections for their deferrals on a daily basis during fiscal 2012. Participants’ deferrals are paid out in a lump-sum on the 15th day of the month immediately following the month during which the six month anniversary of the participant’s separation from service (other than due to death) with us (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) occurs. In the event of the death of a participant prior to the commencement of the distribution of benefits under the plan, such benefits will be paid no later than the later of (x) December 31 of the year in which the participant’s death occurs and (y) ninety days following the date of the participant’s death. Participants may also elect to receive a payout of their deferrals in annual installments over a period of five or 10 years after their separation from service (including death), although notwithstanding any such elections, deferrals will be paid in a lump-sum in connection with a participant’s separation from service within two years following a change in control of us. Participants may also elect to receive a payout in connection with an unforeseeable emergency, in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Salary deferrals, company contributions and any applicable gains are held in a “rabbi” trust. “Rabbi” trust assets are ultimately controlled by us. Operating the deferred compensation plan this way is required by federal tax law in order to defer the taxation benefits from the plan until they are paid to the participants.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The following section describes the payments and benefits that may become payable to the NEOs in connection with their termination of employment and/or a change in control. All such payments and benefits will be paid or provided by us or PTS Holdings Corp. For purposes of this section, we have assumed that (1) the price per share of PTS Holdings Corp.’s common stock on June 29, 2012, the last business day of fiscal 2012 is equal to its fair market value as determined in good faith by the board of directors of PTS Holdings Corp. because there has never been a public market for the common stock of PTS Holdings Corp., (2) PTS Holdings Corp. does not exercise any discretion to accelerate the vesting of outstanding options or restricted stock units in connection with a change in control of us and (3) the value of any stock options that may be accelerated is equal to the full value of such awards (i.e., the full “spread” value for stock options on June 29, 2012). The 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan gives the PTS Holdings Corp. board of directors considerable discretion with respect to the treatment of outstanding options and restricted stock units in the event of a change in control. If the PTS Holdings Corp. board of directors exercised its discretion to fully vest outstanding options and RSUs, the NEOs may receive benefits in addition to those described below.
In addition to the amounts presented below, the NEOs will also be entitled to the benefits quantified and described under the “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation—Fiscal 2012” section above. Please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Current Compensation Program Elements—Severance and Other Benefits” for a discussion of how the amounts of the payments and benefits presented below were determined.
112
Mr. Chiminski
Mr. Chiminski’s employment agreement, the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan and the related stock option agreement and restricted stock unit agreements each provide for certain benefits to be paid to him upon termination under the terms described below. If Mr. Chiminski’s employment terminates due to his disability or death, he would be entitled to (1) a pro-rata portion of any annual cash bonus he would have earned for the year of termination and (2) accelerated vesting of the portion of his time vesting options and restricted stock units that would otherwise have vested within 12 months following his termination of employment. In addition, Mr. Chiminski will retain the opportunity through the ten year term to vest, subject only to attaining the specified internal rate of return or multiple of investment targets, in a portion of the unvested exit options equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsing from his commencement date through the termination date and the denominator of which is the number of days elapsing from his commencement date through the date of the event that triggers additional exit option vesting. Any pro-rata bonus payment would have been paid in a lump-sum within two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the end of the fiscal year in which Mr. Chiminski’s termination of employment occurred. Should Mr. Chiminski’s employment terminate due to death, his beneficiaries would also be entitled to a death benefit equal to 1.5 times his base salary ($1,275,000) under a company provided group life insurance benefit program which covers all eligible active employees.
The employment agreement provides that upon any good termination or due to Mr. Chiminski’s election not to extend the term, he will be entitled to receive a pro-rata portion of any annual cash bonus he would have earned for the year of termination based on Catalent’s actual performance in respect of the full fiscal year in which Mr. Chiminski’s employment terminates.
The employment agreement further provides that if Mr. Chiminski’s employment is terminated by Catalent or PTS Holdings Corp. without cause, by Mr. Chiminski for good reason or due to Catalent’s or PTS Holdings Corp.’s election not to extend the term, then, subject to his execution, delivery and non-revocation of a release of claims with respect to Catalent and its affiliates, Mr. Chiminski will be entitled to receive, in addition to certain accrued amounts and a pro-rata bonus, as discussed above, an amount equal to two times the sum of (x) Mr. Chiminski’s annualized then-current base salary (which salary, for purposes of calculating severance amounts, will in no event be less than $850,000) and (y) his annual target bonus, payable in equal monthly installments over a two year period; provided, however, that if such termination occurs within the two year period following a change in control such payment will instead be made in a single lump sum payment within thirty days following the termination date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Catalent’s obligation to make such payments will cease in the event of a material breach by Mr. Chiminski of the restrictive covenants contained in the employment agreement (described below), if such breach remains uncured for a period of ten days following written notice of such breach. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Chiminski is subject to a covenant not to (x) compete with us while employed and for one year following his termination of employment for any reason and (y) solicit our employees, consultants and certain actual and prospective clients while employed and for two years following his termination of employment for any reason, in each case, subject to certain specified exclusions. The employment agreement also contains a covenant not to disclose confidential information, an assignment of property rights provision and customary indemnification provisions.
In addition to the payments described above, if Mr. Chiminski’s employment is terminated by Catalent or PTS Holdings Corp. without cause, by Mr. Chiminski for good reason or due to Catalent or PTS Holdings Corp.’s election not to extend the term, Mr. Chiminski (and his spouse and eligible dependents, to the extent applicable) will also be entitled to continued participation in Catalent’s group health plans for up to two years (for the final 6 months of this period if coverage cannot be continued he will be paid an amount on a grossed up basis for the company’s cost of such coverage).
At the end of fiscal 2012, Mr. Chiminski would have had a good reason to terminate employment if any of the following had occurred without his consent: (a) any material diminution in his duties, authorities, or responsibilities, or the assignment to him of duties that are materially inconsistent with, or that significantly impair his ability to perform, his duties as Chief Executive Officer of PTS Holdings Corp. or us; (b) any material
113
adverse change in his positions or reporting structures, including ceasing to be the Chief Executive Officer of PTS Holdings Corp. or us or ceasing to be a member of the board of directors of PTS Holdings Corp. or our board of directors; (c) any reduction in his base salary or target annual bonus opportunity (other than a general reduction in base salary or target annual bonus opportunity that affects all members of senior management proportionately); (d) any material failure by us to pay compensation or benefits when due under his employment agreement; (e) any relocation of our principal office or of his principal place of employment to a location more than 50 miles from its location in Somerset, New Jersey, as of his commencement date; or (f) any failure by PTS Holdings Corp. or us, as applicable, to obtain the assumption in writing of its obligation to perform his employment agreement by any successor to all or substantially all of the assets of PTS Holdings Corp. or us, as applicable. No termination of his employment based on a specified good reason event will be effective as a termination for good reason unless (x) Mr. Chiminski gives notice to PTS Holdings Corp. and us of such event within 90 days after he learns that such event has occurred (or, in the case of any event described in clauses (e) or (f), within 30 days after he learns that such event has occurred), (y) such good reason event is not fully cured within 30 days after such notice, and (z) Mr. Chiminski’s employment terminates within 60 days following the end of the cure period.
In the event of any termination of Mr. Chiminski’s employment other than a good termination, all unvested RSUs and options which remain outstanding will be immediately forfeited without consideration as of the termination date. In the event of a good termination, Mr. Chiminski will be deemed vested as of the termination date in any portion of the RSUs and time options that would have otherwise vested if he had remained employed by us or PTS Holdings Corp. through the first anniversary of the termination date and he will also retain the opportunity through the ten year term to vest, subject only to attaining the specified internal rate of return or multiple of investment targets, in a portion of the unvested exit options equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsing from his commencement date through the termination date and the denominator of which is the number of days elapsing from his commencement date through the date of the event that triggers additional exit option vesting.
To the extent that all or a fraction of the exit options vest, a proportionate amount of each tranche of unvested RSUs and time options which remain outstanding will also vest.
In the event of (x) a change in control or (y) a good termination that occurs within the six month period prior to a change in control, all unvested RSUs and time options will become fully vested as of the change in control (or immediately prior to the change in control, with respect to the options). Any portion of the exit options that remain unvested upon a change in control will remain outstanding and remain eligible for potential future vesting in accordance with the terms of the stock option agreement.
Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the stock option agreement, any options that are not vested and exercisable upon Mr. Chiminski’s termination of employment will be immediately cancelled. Any options that are vested upon a good termination will remain outstanding and exercisable generally for one year from the termination date or the date on which the option became vested, as applicable, although the period is reduced to 90 days in the case of a termination of employment that is not a good termination and vested options will terminate immediately if Mr. Chiminski’s employment is terminated by PTS Holdings Corp. or us for cause. Any vested options that are not exercised within the applicable post-termination exercise period will terminate.
All shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock acquired by Mr. Chiminski, including without limitation, shares settled following vesting of the RSUs and shares acquired upon the exercise of the options will be subject to the terms of a subscription agreement. In addition, in connection with the purchase of the shares of PTS Holdings Corp. common stock and the grant of the RSUs and options, Mr. Chiminski became a party to PTS Holdings Corp. securityholders agreement. These documents generally govern Mr. Chiminski’s rights with respect to all such shares.
If any payments to Mr. Chiminski are subject to golden parachute excise taxes in connection with a change in control and are eligible for exemption under the shareholder approval exemption, Catalent and PTS Holdings
114
Corp. agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek the requisite stockholder vote. However, if such exemption is not available and Mr. Chiminski is subject to such taxes, he will also be entitled to receive a tax-gross up payment, provided that such payment will not exceed $1 million.
The following table lists the payments and benefits that would have been triggered for Mr. Chiminski under the circumstances described below assuming that the applicable triggering event occurred on June 29, 2012.

(1) | The amounts reported represent partial or full accelerated vesting of RSUs and options and are based on PTS Holdings Corp.’s common stock having a fair market value of $1,300 per share on June 29, 2012.

Mr. Walsh
On October 11, 2011, PTS Holdings Corp. and Mr. Walsh entered into an employment agreement which replaces the offer letter and severance agreement that Mr. Walsh entered into in 2008 in connection with the commencement of his employment with the Company. Mr. Walsh’s employment agreement, the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan and the related stock option agreement and RSU agreements each provide for certain benefits to be paid to him upon termination.
The employment agreement also provides that if Mr. Walsh’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, due to death or disability, by Mr. Walsh for good reason or due to the Company’s election not to extend the term, then Mr. Walsh will be entitled to receive, in addition to certain accrued amounts, a pro-rated annual cash bonus. In addition, if Mr. Walsh’s employment is terminated by Catalent without cause (other than by reason of death or disability), by Mr. Walsh for good reason, or due to Catalent’s election not to extend the term, Mr. Walsh will also be entitled to receive, an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of (x) Mr. Walsh’s then annualized base salary and (y) his target bonus (75%), payable in equal monthly installments over a two-year severance period.
In addition to the payments described above, if Mr. Walsh’s employment is terminated by Catalent without cause, by Mr. Walsh for good reason or due to Catalent’s election not to extend the term, Mr. Walsh (and his spouse and eligible dependents, to the extent applicable) will also be entitled to continued participation in Catalent’s group health plans for up to two years (for the final 6 months of this period, if coverage cannot be continued he will be paid an amount on a grossed up basis for the company’s cost of such coverage).
115
At the end of fiscal 2012, Mr. Walsh would have had a good reason to terminate employment if any of the following had occurred without his consent, (1) any substantial diminution in his position or duties, adverse change in reporting lines, up and down, or the assignment to him of duties that are materially inconsistent with his position, (2) any reduction in his base salary, (3) any failure of Catalent to pay compensation or benefits when due, (4) Catalent’s failure to provide him with an annual bonus opportunity that is at the same level as established in his offer letter, dated February 29, 2008, or (5) he is required to move his principal business location more than fifty (50) miles. No termination of Mr. Walsh’s employment based on a specified good reason event will be effective as a termination for good reason unless (x) he gives notice to Catalent of such event within thirty (30) days after he learns that such event has occurred, (y) such good reason event is not fully cured within thirty (30) days after such notice (such period, the “Cure Period”), and (z) his employment terminates within sixty (60) days following the end of the Cure Period.
In the event of any termination of Mr. Walsh’s employment, all unvested RSUs and options which remain outstanding will be immediately forfeited without consideration as of the termination date; however, that in the event of a termination of Mr. Walsh’s employment (1) by the Company without cause, (2) by Mr. Walsh for good reason, (3) due to death or disability or (4) due to the Company’s election not to extend the employment term, Mr. Walsh will be deemed vested as of the termination date in any portion of the time-based option that would have otherwise vested if he had remained by the Company through the first anniversary of the termination date. In the event of a change in control of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C., all unvested RSUs and time-based Options will become fully vested as of the change in control (or immediately prior to the change in control, with respect to the options).
The following table lists the payments and benefits that would have been triggered for Mr. Walsh under the circumstances described below assuming that the applicable triggering event occurred on June 29, 2012.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Triggering Event | | Value of Option/RSU Acceleration(1) | | | Value of Base Salary and Target Bonus Payment(2) | | | Value of Continued Benefits Participation(3) | | | Total | |
Death or Disability | | | 255,624 | | | | | | | | | | | | 255,624 | |
Termination by Us Without Cause or by Mr. Walsh for Good Reason | | | 255,624 | | | | 2,100,000 | | | | 26,661 | | | | 2,382,285 | |
Change in Control | | | 1,417,000 | | | | | | | | | | | | 1,417,000 | |
(1) | The amounts reported are based on PTS Holdings Corp.’s common stock having a fair market value of $1,300 per share on June 29, 2012. The amounts reported reflect the “spread” value of the options of $550 per share for the options granted on October 23, 2009 and $260 per share for the options granted on September 11, 2011 representing the difference between the fair market value and the exercise price. Amounts reported assume that the exit event options do not vest upon a change in control. The amount reported for Mr. Walsh for a change in control of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. also includes the vesting of 500 RSUs having a fair market value of $1,300 per share on June 29, 2012 |
(2) | The amount reported for Mr. Walsh represents the two times the sum of (x) Mr. Walsh’s current base salary and (y) his target annual cash bonus |
(3) | Per Mr. Walsh’s employment agreement which became effective on September 26, 2011, the amount for Mr. Walsh includes 18 months of coverage plus 6 months (on a tax grossed-up basis). Mr. Walsh would also be entitled to be paid out for any unused paid time off days accrued during 2012 and up to five unused days from the prior year. |
Messrs. Downie, Houlton, and Khichi
Messrs. Downie, Houlton, and Khichi were not covered by employment agreements at the end of fiscal 2012. However, Mr. Downie’s, Mr. Houlton’s, and Mr. Khichi’s severance agreements, the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan, and the related stock option agreements provide for certain benefits to be paid to
116
each of them if their employment terminates for one of the reasons described below. If the employment of Messrs. Downie, Houlton, or Khichi terminates due to death or disability, each will be entitled to accelerated vesting of the portion of their time options that would otherwise have vested within 12 months following a termination of employment (like Mr. Chiminski, they will not be entitled to any similar accelerated vesting for performance options and exit options). Should Mr. Downie’s, Mr. Houlton’s, or Mr. Khichi’s employment terminate due to death, their beneficiaries will receive a death benefit equal to 1.5 times their current base salary ($592,500, $615,000, and $658,500, respectively) under a company provided group life insurance program which covers all eligible active employees.
If the employment of Messrs. Downie, Houlton, or Khichi was terminated by us without cause or by the executive for good reason, in each case at the end of fiscal 2012, each would have been entitled to a severance payment equal to one times the sum of their annual base salary and target annual bonus, payable in equal installments over the one period following the date of their termination of employment. Each would also be entitled to continued participation in our group health plans (to the extent the executives were receiving such coverage as of the termination date), at the same premium rates as may be charged from time to time for employees of Catalent generally, which coverage would be provided until the earlier of (1) the expiration of the one year period following the date of termination of employment and (2) the date the executive becomes eligible for coverage under group health plan (s) of any other employer. Each Named Officer is required to enter into a binding general release of claims as a condition to receiving most severance payments and benefits.
Under the stock option agreements entered into in connection with the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan, if the employment of Messrs. Downie, Houlton, or Khichi is terminated by us without cause or by the Named Officer for good reason, each will be entitled to receive accelerated vesting of the portion of his time options that would otherwise have vested within 12 months following termination of employment (there is no similar accelerated vesting for performance options and exit options). At the end of fiscal 2012, each of Messrs. Downie, Houlton, and Khichi would have had a good reason to terminate employment if, without his consent (a) there had been a substantial diminution in his position or duties or an adverse change in his reporting lines, (b) he was assigned duties that were materially inconsistent with his position, (c) his base salary had been reduced or other earned compensation was not paid when due, (d) our headquarters were relocated by more than 50 miles, or (e) he was not provided with the same annual bonus opportunity specified in his offer letter, in each case, which was not cured within 30 days following our receipt of written notice from him describing the event constituting good reason.
In the event of a change in control of PTS Holdings Corp. or BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C., each of Messrs. Downie, Houlton, and Khichi will be entitled to full vesting of their time options. As with Mr. Chiminski, their exit options and performance options will not automatically become fully vested in connection with a change in control; however, the exit options and performance options may become vested in connection with the transaction if the applicable performance targets are attained. Messrs. Downie, Houlton, and Khichi, are each subject to the restrictive covenants contained in the subscription agreement, which covenants are described in the “Description of Equity-Based Awards” section above.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
PTS Holdings Corp. owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of PTS Intermediate Holdings LLC, which owns 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock.
The following table and accompanying footnotes set forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the common stock of PTS Holdings Corp. as of March 31, 2013 for (i) each individual or entity known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of the common stock of PTS Holdings Corp., (ii) each of our NEOs, (iii) each of our directors and (iv) all of directors and our executive officers as a group.
The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC regulations governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.
Except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, each of the beneficial owners has, to our knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to the indicated common stock of PTS Holdings Corp. Unless otherwise noted, the address of each beneficial owner is 14 Schoolhouse Road, Somerset, New Jersey, 08873.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Agreements with Our Parent Companies
BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. Securityholders Agreement
In connection with the closing of the acquisition from Cardinal and the related financings, BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. entered into a Securityholders Agreement with the Investors. The BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. Securityholders Agreement governs the economic and voting characteristics of the units representing limited liability company membership interests in BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. (which owns all of the equity interests of Phoenix Charter LLC), including with respect to restrictions on the issuance or transfer of shares, including tag-along rights and drag-along rights, other special corporate governance provisions and registration rights (including customary indemnification provisions).
PTS Holdings Corp. Securityholders Agreement
Following the consummation of the acquisition from Cardinal and related financings, PTS Holding Corp. issued shares of its common stock and granted stock option awards and RSUs to certain officers, directors and key employees of the Company (collectively, “Executives”) pursuant to the 2007 PTS Holdings Corp. Stock Incentive Plan, as amended. As a condition to acquiring such shares of common stock and receiving such options and RSUs, the Executives were required to become a party, or agree to become a party, to the security holders’ agreement between PTS Holdings Corp., Blackstone PTS Holdings L.L.C. and Blackstone Healthcare Partners LLC. Under the securityholders agreement each party agrees, among other things, to elect or cause to be elected to the respective boards of directors of PTS Holdings Corp. and each of its subsidiaries such individuals as are designated by BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. Each party also agrees to vote their shares in the manner in which BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. directs in connection with amendments to PTS Holdings Corp.’s organizational documents (except for changes that would have a material adverse effect on the management of PTS Holdings Corp.), the merger, security exchange, combination or consolidation of PTS Holdings Corp. with any other person, the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property and assets of PTS Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, and the reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of PTS Holdings Corp. The security holders agreement also includes certain restrictions on the transfer of shares, “tag along” and “drag along” rights, and rights of first refusal in favor of PTS Holdings Corp. See “Management—Executive Compensation—Description of Stock Option Awards.”
Transaction and Advisory Fee Agreement
We and one or more of our parent companies entered into a transaction and advisory fee agreement with the affiliates of Blackstone and certain of the other Investors pursuant to which such entities or their affiliates provide certain strategic and structuring advice and assistance to us. In addition, under this agreement, affiliates of Blackstone and certain of the other Investors provide certain monitoring, advisory and consulting services to us for an aggregate annual management fee equal to the greater of $10 million or 3.0% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the senior secured credit agreement) per year. Affiliates of Blackstone and certain of the other Investors also receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them or their affiliates in connection with the provision of services pursuant to the agreement.
Upon a change of control in our ownership, a sale of all of our assets, or an initial public offering of our equity, and in recognition of facilitation of such change of control, asset sale or public offering by affiliates of Blackstone, these affiliates of Blackstone may elect to receive, in lieu of annual payments of the management fee, a single lump sum cash payment equal to the then-present value of all then current and future management fees payable under the agreement. The agreement has a term of up to ten years. The lump sum payment would only be payable to the extent that it is permitted under other agreements governing our indebtedness.
121
Pursuant to the terms of the transaction and advisory fee agreement with respect to acquisitions, each of Blackstone and an affiliate of Blackstone is entitled to a 1% transaction fee based on the transaction purchase price. Pursuant to such agreement, we paid $10.0 million to Blackstone and its affiliate in the aggregate in connection with acquisitions during Fiscal 2012.
Other Related-Party Transactions
Acquisition of non-controlling interest
In February 2012, we acquired the remaining 49% minority share of the R.P. Scherer business in Eberbach, Germany from Gelita AG. The purchase was comprised of a cash payment and note which is payable over a three year period. The cash paid is reflected in the investing section of our statement of cash flows within the caption ‘cash paid for acquisitions’. The transaction was accounted for as a transaction between shareholders as is reflected as such within our statement of stockholders equity. Concurrent with the completion of the transaction, Gelita AG is no longer considered a related party.
Other Related Party Transactions
We have a three-year participation agreement with Core Trust Purchasing Group (“CPG”), which designates CPG as a supplier of an outsource service for indirect materials. We do not pay any fees to participate in this group arrangement, and can terminate participation at any time prior to the expiration of the agreement without penalty. The vendors separately pay fees to CPG for access to CPG’s consortium of customers. Blackstone entered into an agreement with CPG whereby Blackstone receives a portion of the gross fees vendors pay to CPG based on the volume of purchases made between us and other participants. Purchases from CPG were approximately $7.1 million and $6.2 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
We participate in an employer health program agreement with Equity Healthcare LLC (“Equity Healthcare”). Equity Healthcare negotiates with providers of standard administrative services for health benefit plans and other related services for cost discounts and quality of service monitoring capability by Equity Healthcare. Because of the combined purchasing power of its client participants, Equity Healthcare is able to negotiate pricing terms for providers that are believed to be more favorable than the companies could obtain for themselves on an individual basis. In consideration for these services, we pay Equity Healthcare a fee of $2.00 per participating employee per month. As of June 30, 2012, we had approximately 2,300 employees enrolled in our health benefit plans in the United States. Equity Healthcare is an affiliate of Blackstone.
In addition, we do business with a number of other companies affiliated with Blackstone; we believe that all such arrangements have been entered into in the ordinary course of our business and have been conducted on an arm’s length basis.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Overview
On April 10, 2007, we entered into a senior secured credit agreement (as amended, the “Senior Credit Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, collateral agent, swing line lender, joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner; Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as joint lead arranger, joint bookrunner and syndication agent; Bank of America, N.A., as joint bookrunner and co-documentation agent; Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc., as joint bookrunner and co-documentation agent; General Electric Capital Corporation, as co-documentation agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Senior Credit Agreement was amended in June 2011 and February 2012, extended in March 2012 and amended again in April 2012 and February 2013.
The credit facilities (the “senior secured credit facilities”) pursuant to the Senior Credit Agreement provide, excluding the impact of bond discounts, senior secured financing of $1,903.4 million, consisting of:
| • | | approximately $1,703.1 million (dollar equivalent based on an exchange rate of approximately €1=$1.29) aggregate principal amount of term loan facilities consisting of four tranches: |
| • | | a €206.6 million euro-denominated tranche (equal to $263.7 million based on exchange rate of approximately €1=$1.29) maturing September 15, 2016 (or earlier under certain circumstances described below) (the “2016 Euro Tranche”); |
| • | | a $793.4 million U.S. dollar-denominated tranche maturing September 15, 2016 (or earlier under certain circumstances described below) (the “2016 Dollar Tranche”) |
| • | | a $647.9 million U.S. dollar-denominated tranche maturing September 15, 2017 (or earlier under certain circumstances described below) (the “2017 Dollar Tranche”) ; and |
| • | | a $200.3 million revolving credit facility maturing on April 10, 2016 (or earlier under certain circumstances described below). |
Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. is the borrower under the senior secured credit facilities. The revolving credit facilities include borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings, referred to as the swing line borrowings. As of March 31, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility other than $15.2 million in outstanding letters of credit.
Interest Rate and Fees
Borrowings under the term loan facilities and the revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to a margin over either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest published by The Wall Street Journal as its “prime lending rate” and (2) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% or (b) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits in the currency of such borrowing for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving facility may be reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios. The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2016 Euro Tranche is 4.00% for loans based on a LIBOR rate and 3.00% for other loans. The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2016 Dollar Tranche is 3.50% for loans based on a LIBOR rate and 2.50% for other loans. The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2017 Dollar Tranche is 3.25% for loans based on a LIBOR rate and 2.25% for other loans. Under the 2017 Dollar Tranche, the LIBOR rate is subject to a floor of 1.00% and the base rate is subject to a floor of 2.00%.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the senior secured credit facilities, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized

commitments thereunder. The initial commitment fee rate is 0.50% per annum. The commitment fee rate may be reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios. We are also required to pay customary letter of credit fees.
The weighted-average interest rates during fiscal 2012 (prior to the amendment in February 2013) were approximately 3.76% and 3.25% for the euro- denominated and dollar-denominated term loans, respectively excluding the impact of interest rate swaps. In addition, the revolving credit facility weighted-average interest rate was approximately 4.0%.
Prepayments
The senior secured credit agreement requires us to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with:
| • | | 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0% subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios) of our annual excess cash flow; |
| • | | 100% (which percentage will be reduced to 75% subject to attaining a certain leverage ratio) of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property by the borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (including insurance and condemnation proceeds, subject to de minimis thresholds), (a) if we do not reinvest those net cash proceeds in assets to be used in our business or to make certain other permitted investments, within 15 months of the receipt of such net cash proceeds or (b) if we commit to reinvest such net cash proceeds within 15 months of the receipt thereof, within the later of 15 months of the receipt thereof or 180 days of the date of such commitment; and |
| • | | 100% of the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt by the borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries, other than debt permitted under the senior secured credit agreement. |
The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be applied to scheduled installments of the term loan facility in direct order of maturity.
We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the 2016 Euro Tranche at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans. Voluntarily repayments of outstanding loans under the 2016 Dollar Tranche or the 2017 Dollar Tranche prior to August 28, 2013 will be subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium under certain circumstances.
Amortization
We are required to repay installments on the loans under the term loan facilities in quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of their funded total principal amount, with the remaining amount payable on the maturity date for such term loan facility. The maturity date for the 2016 Euro Tranche and the 2016 Dollar Tranche is the earlier of (1) September 15, 2016 and (2) the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 9 1/2/10 1/4% Senior PIK-Election Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) or any permitted refinancing thereof;provided the 2015 Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal amount in excess of $100 million. The maturity date for the 2017 Dollar Tranche is the earlier of (1) September 15, 2017 and (2) the 91st day prior to the maturity of the Senior Subordinated Notes or any permitted refinancing thereof;provided the Senior Subordinated Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal amount in excess of $100 million.
Principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility will be due and payable in full at maturity on the earliest of (1) April 10, 2016, (2) the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 2015 Notes or any permitted refinancing thereof; provided such 2015 Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal amount in excess of $100.0 million, (3) the 91st day prior to the maturity of the Senior Subordinated Notes or any permitted refinancing thereof;provided such Senior Subordinated Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal amount in
124
excess of $40.0 million, (4) the 91st day prior to the maturity of the term loans;provided such term loans have an outstanding aggregate principal amount in excess of $345.0 million, (5) the 91st day prior to the maturity of any unsecured indebtedness for borrowed money incurred after effective date of Amendment No. 1 to the Senior Credit Agreement, dated June 1, 2011 that has a scheduled maturity date earlier than the 91st day following April 10, 2016; provided such unsecured indebtedness for borrowed money has an outstanding principal amount in excess of $100.0 million (6) April 10, 2013 or, if later, the first day on which the event described in the following proviso occurs;provided that the aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes (or any permitted refinancing thereof) prepaid, repaid, redeemed, purchased, defeased or otherwise satisfied other than with proceeds of debt financing (excluding any revolving credit facility) or certain equity issuances since May 25, 2011 exceeds $100.0 million and (7) April 10, 2013 or, if later, the first day on which the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes (or any permitted refinancing thereof) prepaid, repaid, redeemed, purchased, defeased or otherwise satisfied other than with proceeds of debt financing (excluding any revolving credit facility) or certain equity issuances since May 25, 2011 exceeds $40.0 million.

Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities
Overview
On April 29, 2013, we entered into a $275.0 million term loan (the “unsecured term loan”) pursuant to a senior unsecured credit agreement (as amended, the “Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto. Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. is the borrower under the unsecured term loan.
Interest Rate and Fees
Borrowings under the unsecured term loan bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to a margin over either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest published by The Wall Street Journal as its “prime lending rate” and (2) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% or (b) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits in the currency of such borrowing for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. The applicable margin is 5.25% for loans based on a LIBOR rate and 4.25% for loans based on the base rate. The LIBOR rate is subject to a floor of 1.25% and the base rate is subject to a floor of 2.25%.
Prepayments
The Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement requires us to prepay the outstanding term loan, subject to certain exceptions, with:
| • | | the net cash proceeds of an asset sale under certain circumstances; and |
| • | | 100% of the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt by the borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries, other than debt permitted under the senior secured credit agreement. |
We are not otherwise required to make any principal payments on the term loan until maturity.
Voluntarily repayments of outstanding loans under certain circumstances will be subject to a 2.00% prepayment premium prior to April 29, 2014 and a 1.00% prepayment premium thereafter.
Guarantee
All obligations under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the parent guarantor and, subject to certain exceptions, each of our material current and future U.S. wholly owned restricted subsidiaries.
Certain Covenants and Events of Default
The Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of the borrower and its restricted subsidiaries to:
| • | | incur additional indebtedness and issue certain preferred stock; |
| • | | pay certain dividends and make distributions in respect of capital stock; |
| • | | place limitations on distributions from restricted subsidiaries; |
126
| • | | guarantee certain indebtedness; |
| • | | sell or exchange assets; |
| • | | enter into transactions with affiliates; |
| • | | create certain liens; and |
| • | | consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. |
The Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default.
Senior Subordinated Notes
As of March 31, 2013, we had outstanding €215.5 million euro principal amount (equal to $277.2 million based on exchange rate of approximately €1=$1.29) of 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017, which bear
127
interest at a rate of 9 3/4% and are due April 15, 2017. The Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by all of the subsidiaries that will guarantee the notes offered hereby on a senior subordinated basis.
The Senior Subordinated Notes are redeemable (1) at any time in the twelve-month period beginning April 15, 2012 at a price of 104.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, (2) at any time in the twelve-month period beginning April 15, 2013 at a price of 103.250% of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, (3) at any time in the twelve-month period beginning April 15, 2014 at a price of 101.625% of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption and (4) at any time beginning April 15, 2015 at a price of 100.00% of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes, among other things, limits our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:
| • | | incur additional indebtedness and issue certain preferred stock; |
| • | | pay certain dividends and make distributions in respect of capital stock; |
| • | | place limitations on distributions from restricted subsidiaries; |
| • | | guarantee certain indebtedness; |

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer
We entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the outstanding notes in which we agreed, under certain circumstances, to file a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange the outstanding notes for exchange notes. We also agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause this registration statement to be declared effective and to cause the exchange offer to be consummated within 360 days after the issue date of the outstanding notes. The exchange notes will have terms substantially identical to the terms of the outstanding notes, except that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or additional interest upon a failure to fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement. The outstanding notes were issued on September 18, 2012.
Under the circumstances set forth below, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the SEC to declare effective a shelf registration statement with respect to the resale of the outstanding notes within the time periods specified in the registration rights agreement and to keep the shelf registration statement effective for up to two years after the effective date of the shelf registration statement. These circumstances include:
| • | | if applicable law or interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not permit the Issuer to effect this exchange offer as contemplated by the registration rights agreement; |
| • | | if for any other reason the exchange offer is not consummated within 360 days of the original issue date of the outstanding notes; |
| • | | any initial purchaser requests with respect to outstanding notes that are not eligible to be exchanged for exchange notes in this exchange offer and held by it following the consummation of this exchange offer; |
| • | | if any holder of the outstanding notes (other than a broker-dealer electing to exchange outstanding notes acquired for its own account or as a result of market-making activities or other activities) is not eligible to participate in the exchange offer; or |
| • | | if any holder of the outstanding notes (other than a broker-dealer electing to exchange outstanding notes acquired for its own account or as a result of market-making activities or other activities) is not eligible to participate that participates in this exchange offer do not receive exchange notes that may be sold without restriction in exchange for its tendered outstanding notes (other than due solely to the status of such holder as an affiliate of the Issuer) and notifies the Issuer in writing within 20 business days following consummation of the exchange offer. |
Under the registration rights agreement, if we have not exchanged exchange notes for all outstanding notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of an exchange offer on or prior to the 360th day after the original issue date of the notes or if applicable, a shelf registration statement covering resales of the notes has been declared effective and such shelf registration statement ceases to be effective at any time during the shelf registration period (subject to certain exceptions), then additional interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum (which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that such additional interest continues to accrue, provided that the rate at which such additional interest accrues may in no event exceed 1.0% per annum), in each case, until the exchange offer is completed or the shelf registration, if applicable, is declared effective by the SEC. A copy of the registration rights agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Each holder of outstanding notes that wishes to exchange their outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will be required to make the following written representations:
| • | | any exchange notes to be received by such holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business; |
129
| • | | such holder has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the exchange notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act; |
| • | | such holder is not an affiliate of the Issuer, as defined by Rule 405 of the Securities Act; and |
| • | | it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of exchange notes. |
Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes, where the broker-dealer acquired the outstanding notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. Please see “Plan of Distribution.”
Resale of Exchange Notes
Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties referred to below, we believe that you may resell or otherwise transfer exchange notes issued in the exchange offer without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, if:
| • | | you are acquiring the exchange notes in your ordinary course of business; |
| • | | you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes; |
| • | | you are not an affiliate of the Issuer as defined by Rule 405 of the Securities Act; and |
| • | | you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the exchange notes. |
If you are an affiliate of the Issuer, or are engaging in, or intend to engage in, or have any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes, or are not acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business, then:
| • | | you cannot rely on the position of the staff of the SEC enunciated inMorgan Stanley & Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991),Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the SEC’s letter toShearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, or similar no-action letters; and |
| • | | in the absence of an exception from the position stated immediately above, you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. |
This prospectus may be used for an offer to resell, for the resale or for other retransfer of exchange notes only as specifically set forth in this prospectus. With regard to broker-dealers, only broker-dealers that acquired the outstanding notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may participate in the exchange offer. Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes where such outstanding notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. Please read “Plan of Distribution” for more details regarding the transfer of exchange notes.
Terms of the Exchange Offer
On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange in the exchange offer outstanding notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration date. Outstanding notes may only be tendered in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000, provided that any untendered portion of an outstanding note must be in a principal amount equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. We will issue exchange notes in principal amount identical to outstanding notes surrendered in the exchange offer.
130
The form and terms of the exchange notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the outstanding notes except the exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act, will not bear legends restricting their transfer and will not provide for any additional interest upon our failure to fulfill our obligations under the applicable registration rights agreements to complete the exchange offer, or file, and cause to be effective, a shelf registration statement, if required thereby, within the specified time period. The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the outstanding notes. The exchange notes will be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the same indenture under which the outstanding notes were issued, and the exchange notes and the outstanding notes will constitute a single class for all purposes under the indenture. For a description of the indenture, please see “Description of the Notes.”
The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes being tendered for exchange.
As of the date of this prospectus, $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes are outstanding. This prospectus and a letter of transmittal are being sent to all registered holders of outstanding notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of outstanding notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.
We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Outstanding notes that are not tendered for exchange in the exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest and will be entitled to the rights and benefits that such holders have under the indenture, except for any rights under the registration rights agreement that by their terms terminate upon the consummation of the exchange offer.
We will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered outstanding notes when we have given oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the exchange notes from us and delivering exchange notes to holders. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, we expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to refuse to accept outstanding notes for exchange upon the occurrence of any of the conditions specified below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”
Holders who tender outstanding notes in the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of outstanding notes. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer. It is important that you read “—Fees and Expenses” below for more details regarding fees and expenses incurred in the exchange offer.
Expiration Date; Extensions, Amendments
As used in this prospectus, the term “expiration date” means 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 24, 2013. However, if we, in our sole discretion, extend the period of time for which the exchange offer is open, the term “expiration date” will mean the latest time and date to which we shall have extended the expiration of the exchange offer.
To extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open, we will notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice, followed by notification to the registered holders of the outstanding notes no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:
| • | | to delay accepting for exchange any outstanding notes (only if we amend or extend the exchange offer); |
131
| • | | to extend the exchange offer or to terminate the exchange offer and to refuse to accept outstanding notes not previously accepted if any of the conditions set forth below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied, by giving oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; and |
| • | | subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner. |
Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice to the registered holders of the outstanding notes. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, including the waiver of a material condition, we will promptly disclose the amendment by press release or other public announcement as required by Rule 14e-1(d) of the Exchange Act and will extend the offer period if necessary so that at least five business days remain in the offer following notice of the material change.
Conditions to the Exchange Offer
Despite any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue exchange notes in exchange for, any outstanding notes, and we may terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before accepting any outstanding notes for exchange, if:
| • | | the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of outstanding notes, violate any applicable law or interpretation of the staff of the SEC; |
| • | | any action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency that might materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer, and any material adverse development shall have occurred in any existing action or proceeding with respect to us; or |
| • | | all governmental approvals shall not have been obtained, which approvals we deem necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer. |
In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the outstanding notes of any holder that has not made to us:
| • | | the representations described under “—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer” and “—Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes”; and |
| • | | any other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations, or interpretations to make available to us an appropriate form for registration of the exchange notes under the Securities Act. |
We expressly reserve the right at any time or at various times to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open. Consequently, we may delay acceptance of any outstanding notes by notice by press release or other public announcement as required by Rule 14e-1(d) of the Act of such extension to their holders. During any such extensions, all outstanding notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer, and we may accept them for exchange. We will return any outstanding notes that we do not accept for exchange for any reason without expense to their tendering holder as promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.
We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to reject for exchange any outstanding notes not previously accepted for exchange upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the exchange offer specified above. We will give notice by press release or other public announcement as required by Rule 14e-1(d) of the Act of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the outstanding notes. In the case of any extension, such notice will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.
132
These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances that may give rise to them so long as such circumstances do not arise due to our action or inaction or waive them in whole or in part at any or at various times in our sole discretion. If we fail at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights, this failure will not constitute a waiver of such right. Each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times.
Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes
Only a holder of outstanding notes may tender its outstanding notes in the exchange offer. To tender outstanding notes in the exchange offer, a holder must comply with either of the following:
| • | | complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, have the signatures on the letter of transmittal guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal and mail or deliver such letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof to the exchange agent at the address set forth below under (“—Exchange Agent”) prior to the expiration date; or |
| • | | comply with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program procedures described below. |
In addition, either:
| • | | the exchange agent must receive outstanding notes along with the letter of transmittal; or |
| • | | prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent must receive a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below and a properly transmitted agent’s message (defined below); or |
| • | | the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. |
To be tendered effectively, the exchange agent must receive any physical delivery of the letter of transmittal and other required documents at the address set forth below under “—Exchange Agent” prior to the expiration date.
A tender to us that is not withdrawn prior to the expiration date constitutes an agreement between us and the tendering holder upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.
The method of delivery of outstanding notes, letter of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at the holder’s election and risk. Rather than mail these items, we recommend that holders use an overnight or hand delivery service. In all cases, holders should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. Holders should not send letters of transmittal or certificates representing outstanding notes to us. Holders may request that their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees effect the above transactions for them.
If you are a beneficial owner whose outstanding notes are held in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee who wishes to participate in the exchange offer, you should promptly contact such party and instruct such person to tender outstanding notes on your behalf.
You must make these arrangements or follow these procedures before completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering the outstanding notes.
Signatures on the letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the U.S. or another “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17A(d)-15 under the Exchange Act unless the outstanding notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:
| • | | by a registered holder of the outstanding notes who has not completed the box entitled “Special Registration Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal; or |
133
| • | | for the account of an eligible guarantor institution. |
If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any outstanding notes listed on the outstanding notes, such outstanding notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The bond power must be signed by the registered holder as the registered holder’s name appears on the outstanding notes and an eligible guarantor institution must guarantee the signature on the bond power.
If the letter of transmittal or any certificates representing outstanding notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should also indicate when signing and, unless waived by us, they should also submit evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act.
The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may use DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program to tender. Participants in the program may, instead of physically completing and signing the letter of transmittal and delivering it to the exchange, electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange by causing DTC to transfer the outstanding notes to the exchange agent in accordance with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program procedures for transfer. DTC will then send an agent’s message to the exchange agent. The term “agent’s message” means a message transmitted by DTC, received by the exchange agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation, that states that:
| • | | DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a participant in its Automated Tender Offer Program that is tendering outstanding notes that are the subject of the book-entry confirmation; |
| • | | the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal or, in the case of an agent’s message relating to guaranteed delivery, such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the notice of guaranteed delivery; and |
| • | | we may enforce that agreement against such participant. |
Acceptance of Exchange Notes
In all cases, we will promptly issue exchange notes for outstanding notes that we have accepted for exchange under the exchange offer only after the exchange agent timely receives:
| • | | outstanding notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of such outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility; and |
| • | | a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents or a properly transmitted agent’s message. |
By tendering outstanding notes pursuant to the exchange offer, you will represent to us that, among other things:
| • | | you are not our affiliate or an affiliate of any guarantor within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; |
| • | | you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes; and |
| • | | you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business. |
In addition, each broker-dealer that is to receive exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes must represent that such outstanding notes were acquired by that broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus that meets the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. See “Plan of Distribution.”
134
We will interpret the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the letter of transmittal and the instructions to the letter of transmittal, and will resolve all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance of outstanding notes tendered for exchange. Our determinations in this regard will be final and binding on all parties. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of any particular outstanding notes not properly tendered or to not accept any particular outstanding notes if the acceptance might, in our or our counsel’s judgment, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities as to any particular outstanding notes prior to the expiration date.
Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of outstanding notes for exchange must be cured within such reasonable period of time as we determine. Neither we, the exchange agent, nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of outstanding notes for exchange, nor will any of them incur any liability for any failure to give notification. Any outstanding notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly after the expiration date.
Book-entry Delivery Procedures
Promptly after the date of this prospectus, the exchange agent will establish an account with respect to the outstanding notes at DTC as a book-entry transfer facility for purposes of the exchange offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility’s system may make book-entry delivery of the outstanding notes by causing the book-entry transfer facility to transfer those outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at the facility in accordance with the facility’s procedures for such transfer. To be timely, book-entry delivery of outstanding notes requires receipt of a confirmation of a book-entry transfer, a “book-entry confirmation,” prior to the expiration date. In addition, although delivery of outstanding notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility, the letter of transmittal or a manually signed facsimile thereof, together with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, or an agent’s message, in connection with a book-entry transfer, must, in any case, be delivered or transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at its address set forth on the cover page of the letter of transmittal prior to the expiration date to receive exchange notes for tendered outstanding notes, or the guaranteed delivery procedure described below must be complied with. Tender will not be deemed made until such documents are received by the exchange agent. Delivery of documents to the book-entry transfer facility does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
If you wish to tender your outstanding notes but your outstanding notes are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your outstanding notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the exchange agent or comply with the applicable procedures under DTC’s Automatic Tender Offer Program for transfer of book-entry interests prior to the expiration date, you may still tender if:
| • | | the tender is made through an eligible guarantor institution; |
| • | | prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such eligible guarantor institution either: (i) a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, by facsimile transmission, mail, or hand delivery or (ii) a properly transmitted agent’s message relating to guaranteed delivery, that, in each case, (a) sets forth your name and address, the certificate number(s) of such outstanding notes and the principal amount of outstanding notes tendered; (b) states that the tender is being made by that notice of guaranteed delivery; and (c) guarantees that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date, the letter of transmittal, or facsimile thereof, together with the outstanding notes or a book-entry confirmation and an agent’s message, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, will be deposited by the eligible guarantor institution with the exchange agent; and |
135
| • | | the exchange agent receives the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, as well as certificate(s) representing all tendered outstanding notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation of transfer of the outstanding notes and an agent’s message into the exchange agent’s account at DTC and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date. |
Upon request, the exchange agent will send to you a notice of guaranteed delivery if you wish to tender your notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures.
Withdrawal Rights
Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender of outstanding notes at any time prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. For a withdrawal to be effective:
| • | | the exchange agent must receive a written notice, which may be by telegram, telex, facsimile or letter, of withdrawal at its address set forth below under “—Exchange Agent;” or |
| • | | you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program system. |
Any notice of withdrawal must:
| • | | specify the name of the person who tendered the outstanding notes to be withdrawn; |
| • | | identify the outstanding notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate numbers and principal amount of the outstanding notes; and |
| • | | where certificates for outstanding notes have been transmitted, specify the name in which such outstanding notes were registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder. |
If certificates for outstanding notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, you must also submit:
| • | | the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn; and |
| • | | a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible institution unless you are an eligible guarantor institution. |
If outstanding notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility to be credited with the withdrawn outstanding notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of the book-entry transfer facility. We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt of notices of withdrawal and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any outstanding notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any outstanding notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to their holder, without cost to the holder, or, in the case of book-entry transfer, the outstanding notes will be credited to an account at the book-entry transfer facility, promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn outstanding notes may be retendered by following the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes” above at any time on or prior to the expiration date.
136
Exchange Agent
The Bank of New York Mellon has been appointed as the exchange agent for the exchange offer. The Bank of New York Mellon also acts as trustee under the indenture governing the notes. You should direct all executed letters of transmittal and all questions and requests for assistance with respect to the procedures for tendering outstanding notes or withdrawing such tenders, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal, and requests for notices of guaranteed delivery to the exchange agent addressed as follows:
| | | | |
By Registered or Certified Mail: | | By Facsimile Transmission: | | By Overnight Courier or Hand Delivery: |
The Bank of New York Mellon c/o The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation Corporate Trust Operations-Reorganization Unit 111 Sanders Creek Parkway East Syracuse, NY 13057 Attn: Dacia Brown-Jones Telephone: 315-414-3349 | | 732-667-9408 To Confirm by Telephone: 315-414-3349 | | The Bank of New York Mellon c/o The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation Corporate Trust Operations-Reorganization Unit 111 Sanders Creek Parkway East Syracuse, NY 13057 Attn: Dacia Brown-Jones Telephone: 315-414-3349 |
If you deliver the letter of transmittal to an address other than the one set forth above or transmit the letter of transmittal via facsimile to a facsimile number other than the one set forth above, that delivery or those instructions will not be effective.
Fees and Expenses
The registration rights agreement provides that we will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of our obligations relating to the registration of the exchange notes and the conduct of the exchange offer. These expenses include registration and filing fees, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others. We will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding this prospectus and related documents to their clients that are holders of outstanding notes and for handling or tendering for such clients.
We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not pay any fee or commission to any broker, dealer, nominee or other person, other than the exchange agent, for soliciting tenders of outstanding notes pursuant to the exchange offer.
Accounting Treatment
We will record the exchange notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the outstanding notes, which is the aggregate principal amount as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchanges. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the consummation of the exchange offer. We will record the expenses of the exchange offer as incurred.
Transfer Taxes
We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchanges of outstanding notes under the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if:
| • | | certificates representing outstanding notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of outstanding notes tendered; |
| • | | tendered outstanding notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal; or |
| • | | a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of outstanding notes under the exchange offer. |
137
If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed to that tendering holder.
Holders who tender their outstanding notes for exchange will not be required to pay any transfer taxes. However, holders who instruct us to register exchange notes in the name of, or request that outstanding notes not tendered or not accepted in the exchange offer be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder will be required to pay any applicable transfer tax.
Consequences of Failure to Exchange
If you do not exchange your outstanding notes for exchange notes under the exchange offer, your outstanding notes will remain subject to the restrictions on transfer of such outstanding notes as set forth in the legend printed on the outstanding notes as a consequence of the issuance of the outstanding notes pursuant to the exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
In general, you may not offer or sell your outstanding notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act or if the offer or sale is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the outstanding notes under the Securities Act.
Other
Participating in the exchange offer is voluntary, and you should carefully consider whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.
We may in the future seek to acquire untendered outstanding notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offer or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any outstanding notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered outstanding notes.
138
DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
General
Certain terms used in this description are defined under the subheading “Certain Definitions.” In this description, the term “Issuer” refers to Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. and not to any of its Subsidiaries.
The Issuer has issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) under an indenture dated September 18, 2012 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.
The following description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, will define your rights as Holders of the Notes. You may request copies of the Indenture at our address set forth under the heading “Prospectus Summary.”
Brief Description of the Notes and the Guarantees
The Notes:
| • | | are unsecured senior obligations of the Issuer; |
| • | | arepari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness (including the Senior Credit Facilities, the unsecured senior credit facility and the Issuer’s 9 1/2 /10 1/4% Senior PIK-Election Notes due 2015 issued April 10, 2007 (the “2015 Notes”) of the Issuer; |
| • | | are effectively subordinated to all secured Indebtedness of the Issuer (including the Senior Credit Facilities), to the extent of the collateral securing such Indebtedness; |
| • | | are structurally subordinated to all existing and future Indebtedness, claims of holders of Preferred Stock and other liabilities of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that do not guarantee the Notes; |
| • | | are senior in right of payment to any Subordinated Indebtedness (including the Issuer’s 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 issued April 10, 2007 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes” and, together with the 2015 Notes, the “Existing Notes”)) of the Issuer; |
| • | | are initially guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors and will also be guaranteed in the future by each Subsidiary, if any, that guarantees Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities; and |
| • | | are subject to registration, or exchangeable for substantially identical securities subject to registration, with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. |
The Guarantees of each Guarantor in respect of the Notes:
| • | | are unsecured senior obligations of such Guarantor; |
| • | | arepari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness (including the Senior Credit Facilities and the 2015 Notes) of such Guarantor; |
| • | | are effectively subordinated to all secured Indebtedness of such Guarantor (including the Senior Credit Facilities), to the extent of the collateral securing such Indebtedness; |
| • | | are structurally subordinated to all existing and future Indebtedness, claims of holders of Preferred Stock and other liabilities of Subsidiaries of such Guarantor that do not guarantee the Notes; and |
| • | | are senior in right of payment to any Subordinated Indebtedness (including the Senior Subordinated Notes) of such Guarantor. |
139
Although the Indenture contains limitations on the amount of additional Indebtedness that the Issuer and the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries may incur, under certain circumstances the amount of such Indebtedness could be substantial and, in any case, such Indebtedness may be Senior Indebtedness. See “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.”
Guarantees
Each existing and subsequently acquired or organized Restricted Subsidiary that is a wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary and that guarantees the Senior Credit Facilities will jointly and severally guarantee the performance and full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes on a senior basis, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest in respect of the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, on the terms set forth in the Indenture by executing the Indenture.
The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent the Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. This provision may not, however, be effective to protect a Guarantee from being voided under fraudulent transfer law, or may reduce the applicable Guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its Guarantee worthless. If a Guarantee was rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, a Guarantor’s liability on its Guarantee could be reduced to zero. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to cancel the notes or the related guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from us or the guarantors.”
Any Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.
Each Guarantee by a Guarantor provides by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:
(1)(a) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, in each case made in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture;
(b) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee;
(c) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or
(d) the exercise by the Issuer of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under “Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” or the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and
(2) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of such Guarantor and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.
Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes
The Issuer maintains a paying agent for the Notes in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. The initial paying agent for the Notes is the Trustee.
140
The Issuer also maintains one or more registrars with an office in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York and a transfer agent, including one with an office in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. The initial registrar and transfer agent is the Trustee. The registrar maintains a register reflecting ownership of the Notes outstanding from time to time and the transfer agent makes payments on and facilitates transfer of the Notes on behalf of the Issuer.
The Issuer may change the paying agent, the registrar or the transfer agent without prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as a paying agent, registrar or transfer agent.
Transfer and Exchange
A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of Notes. Holders are required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer. Also, the Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. The registered Holder of a Note is treated as the owner of the Note for all purposes.
Principal, Maturity and Interest
The Issuer has issued an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million of Notes. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2018. Subject to compliance with the covenant described below under the caption “Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock,” the Issuer may issue additional Notes from time to time under the Indenture (“Additional Notes”). The Notes offered by the Issuer and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Notes” for all purposes of the Indenture and this “Description of the Notes” include any Additional Notes that are actually issued. The Notes are issued in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.
Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on April 15, 2013, to the Holders of Notes of record on the immediately preceding April 1 and October 1. Interest on the Notes accrues from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the Issue Date. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30 day months.
Payment of Interest
Cash payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York or, at the option of the Issuer, cash payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders;provided that (a) all cash payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to DTC, who will in turn transfer such funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof and (b) all cash payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to certificated Notes will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). Until otherwise designated by the Issuer, the Issuer’s office or agency in New York is the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose.
141
Mandatory Redemption; Offers to Purchase; Open Market Purchases
The Issuer is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase Notes as described under the caption “Repurchase at the Option of Holders.” The Issuer may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.
Optional Redemption
Except as set forth below, the Issuer is not entitled to redeem the Notes at its option.
At any time, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice as described under the heading “—Selection and Notice,” at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the periods indicated below:
| | | | |
Period | | Percentage | |
September 18, 2012 to October 14, 2014 | | | 101.500 | % |
October 15, 2014 to October 14, 2015 | | | 103.938 | % |
October 15, 2015 to October 14, 2016 | | | 101.969 | % |
October 15, 2016 and thereafter | | | 100.000 | % |
Selection and Notice
If the Issuer is redeeming less than all of the Notes issued by it at any time, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed or (b) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, or, if the pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part.
Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, any notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be redeemed.
Any notice of redemption may be subject to one or more conditions precedent. If a redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed.
The Issuer will issue a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note. Unless such redemption shall be conditional as set forth above, Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.
142
Repurchase at the Option of Holders
Change of Control
The Notes provides that if a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under “Optional Redemption,” the Issuer will make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereofplus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with a copy to the Trustee, with the following information:
(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the covenant entitled “Change of Control,” and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuer;
(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);
(3) that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;
(4) that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;
(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;
(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes,provided that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;
(7) that if the Holder is tendering less than all of its Notes, the Holder will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to at least $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter;
(8) if such notice is mailed prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and
(9) the other instructions, as determined by us, consistent with the covenant described hereunder, that a Holder must follow.
The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e 1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.
143
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent permitted by law,
(1) accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer,
(2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered, and
(3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer.
The Senior Credit Facilities prohibit or limit, and future credit agreements or other agreements to which the Issuer becomes a party may prohibit or limit, the Issuer from purchasing any Notes as a result of a Change of Control. In the event a Change of Control occurs at a time when the Issuer is prohibited from purchasing the Notes, the Issuer could seek the consent of its lenders to permit the purchase of the Notes or could attempt to refinance the Indebtedness that contain such prohibition. If the Issuer does not obtain such consent or repay such Indebtedness, the Issuer will remain prohibited from purchasing the Notes. In such case, the Issuer’s failure to purchase tendered Notes would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. The Senior Credit Facilities provide that certain change of control events with respect to the Issuer would constitute a default thereunder (including a Change of Control under the Indenture). If we experience a change of control that triggers a default under the Senior Credit Facilities, we could seek a waiver of such default or seek to refinance the Senior Credit Facilities. In the event we do not obtain such a waiver or refinance the Senior Credit Facilities, such default could result in amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities being declared due and payable and cause a Qualified Securitization Facility to be wound down.
Our ability to pay cash to the Holders of Notes following the occurrence of a Change of Control may be limited by our then-existing financial resources. Therefore, sufficient funds may not be available when necessary to make any required repurchases.
The Change of Control purchase feature of the Notes may in certain circumstances make more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of us and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. The Change of Control purchase feature is a result of negotiations between the Initial Purchasers and us. After the Issue Date, we have no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that we could decide to do so in the future. Subject to the limitations discussed below, we could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that could increase the amount of Indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings. Restrictions on our ability to incur additional Indebtedness are contained in the covenants described under “Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” and “Certain Covenants—Liens.” Such restrictions in the Indenture can be waived only with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Except for the limitations contained in such covenants, however, the Indenture does not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford Holders of the Notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.
The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by us and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.
144
The definition of “Change of Control” includes a direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer to any Person. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the assets of the Issuer. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a Change of Control has occurred and whether a Holder of Notes may require the Issuer to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as described above.
The provisions under the Indenture relative to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.
Asset Sales
The Indenture provides that the Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause, make or suffer to exist an Asset Sale, unless:
(1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and
(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents;provided that the amount of:
(a) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Issuer and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all applicable creditors in writing,
(b) any securities received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and
(c) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 5.0% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,
shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.
Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,
(1) to permanently reduce Obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities or Senior Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien or other Senior Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto)provided that if the Issuer shall so reduce Obligations under such other Senior Indebtedness, the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under “Optional Redemption,” through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders of Notes to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof,plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid, or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor;
145
(2) to make (a) an Investment in any one or more businesses,provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) capital expenditures or (c) acquisitions of other assets, in each of (a), (b) and (c), used or useful in a Similar Business, or
(3) to make an Investment in (a) any one or more businesses,provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) properties or (c) acquisitions of other assets that, in each of (a), (b) and (c), replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;
provided that, in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer, or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination;provided further that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.
Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that ispari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is at least $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value, if less),plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $50.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 450 days or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $50.0 million or less.
To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero.
Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this covenant, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by the Indenture.
The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e 1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws
146
or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.
The provisions under the Indenture relative to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of an Asset Sale may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.
Certain Covenants
Set forth below are summaries of certain covenants contained in the Indenture. During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event” and the date thereof being referred to as the “Suspension Date”) then, the covenants specifically listed under the following captions in this “Description of the Notes” section of this prospectus will not be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”):
(1) “Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales”;
(2) “—Limitation on Restricted Payments”;
(3) “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”;
(4) clause (4) of the first paragraph of “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets”;
(5) “—Transactions with Affiliates”;
(6) “—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries”;
(7) “—Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries”; and
(8) “Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control.”
During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Issuer may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the second sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”
If and while the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants, the Notes will be entitled to substantially less covenant protection. In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under the Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under the Indenture with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period”. The Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be suspended during the Suspension Period. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be reset to zero.
During any Suspension Period, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction;provided, that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction if (i) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred a Lien to secure the Indebtedness attributable to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to “—Liens” below without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to such covenant; and (ii) the consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in that Sale and Lease-Back Transaction is at least equal to the fair market value of the property sold and otherwise complies with “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset
147
Sales” above;provided,further, that the foregoing provisions shall cease to apply on and subsequent to the Reversion Date following such Suspension Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Notes;provided that (1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though the covenant described above under the caption “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period; and (2) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (3) of the second paragraph of “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.” In addition, for purposes of clause (3) of the first paragraph under the caption “—Limitation on Restricted Payments”, all events set forth in such clause (3) occurring during a Suspension Period shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the amount of Restricted Payments the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is permitted to make pursuant to such clause (3).
There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade Ratings.
Limitation on Restricted Payments
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(a) dividends or distributions by the Issuer payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer; or
(b) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of securities;
(II) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, including in connection with any merger or consolidation;

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of clauses (1) through (16) above or is entitled to be made pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuer will be entitled to classify or later reclassify (based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification) such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) between such clauses (1) through (16) and such first paragraph in a manner that otherwise complies with this covenant.
As of the Issue Date, all of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries were Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time, whether pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant or under clause (7), (10) or (11) of the second paragraph of this covenant, or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments,” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in the Indenture.
Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”) with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and the Issuer will not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock;provided, that the Issuer may incur
153
Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), issue shares of Disqualified Stock and issue shares of Preferred Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on a consolidated basis for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on apro forma basis (including apro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.
The foregoing limitations do not apply to:
(1) the incurrence of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof), up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,060.0 million outstanding at any one time;

(2) at the time of incurrence, the Issuer will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in the first and second paragraphs above.
Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this covenant.
For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt;provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.
157
The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.
The Indenture provides that the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be.
The Indenture does not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) Senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.
Liens
The Indenture provides that the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related Guarantee, on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless:
(1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or
(2) in all other cases, the Notes or the Guarantees are equally and ratably secured, except that the foregoing shall not apply to (a) Liens securing the Notes and the related Guarantees, (b) Liens securing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Credit Facilities, including any letter of credit facility relating thereto, that was permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the second paragraph under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” and (c) Liens securing Indebtedness under Credit Facilities permitted to be incurred under the covenant described above under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”;provided that, with respect to Liens securing Indebtedness permitted under this subclause (c), at the time of incurrence and after givingpro forma effect thereto, the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio would be no greater than 4.50 to 1.00.
Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets
The Issuer may not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:
(1) the Issuer is the surviving business entity or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made, is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Issuer or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”);provided that in the case where the surviving Person is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation;
(2) the Successor Company, if other than the Issuer, expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments;
(3) immediately after such transaction, no Default exists;
158
(4) immediately after givingpro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing or debt reduction transactions, as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period,
(a) the Successor Company or the Issuer would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Test, or
(b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction;
(5) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, in which case clause (1)(b) of the second succeeding paragraph shall apply, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under the Indenture, the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement; and
(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with the Indenture.
The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for the Issuer under the Indenture, the Guarantees and the Notes, as applicable. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding clauses (3) and (4),
(1) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge with or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer, and
(2) the Issuer may merge with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in a State of the United States so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.
Subject to certain provisions described in the Indenture governing release of a Guarantee upon the sale, disposition or transfer of a Subsidiary Guarantor, no Subsidiary Guarantor will, and the Issuer will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:
(1)(a) such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving business entity or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Person being herein called the “Successor Person”);
(b) the Successor Person, if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments;
(c) immediately after such transaction, no Default exists; and
(d) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with the Indenture; or
(2) the transaction is made in compliance with the covenant described under “Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales.”
Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture, the Successor Person will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee.
159
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may merge with or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor and any Subsidiary Guarantor may merge with a Subsidiary of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Subsidiary Guarantor in another jurisdiction so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby and so long as the surviving entity (if not the Subsidiary Guarantor) assumes all of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee in connection with such reincorporation.
This “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets” covenant does not apply to any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and
(2) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $40.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above.

Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries
The Issuer will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is a wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary, other than a Guarantor, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness (or any interest on such Indebtedness) under the Senior Credit Facilities unless:
(1) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the Indenture providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes;

Reports and Other Information
Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Indenture requires the Issuer to file with the SEC (and make available to the Trustee and Holders of the Notes (without exhibits), without cost to any Holder, within 15 days after it files them with the SEC) from and after the Issue Date,
(1) within 90 days (or any other time period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act with respect to the filing of a Form 10-K by a non-accelerated filer) after the end of each fiscal year, annual reports on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form, containing the information required to be contained therein, or required in such successor or comparable form;
(2) within 45 days (or any other time period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act with respect to the filing of a Form 10-Q by a non-accelerated filer) after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, reports on Form 10-Q containing all quarterly information that would be required to be contained in Form 10-Q, or any successor or comparable form;
(3) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event required to be therein reported, such other reports on Form 8-K, or any successor or comparable form; and
(4) any other information, documents and other reports which the Issuer would be required to file with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
in each case, in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements specified in such form;provided that the Issuer shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Issuer will make available such information to prospective purchasers of Notes, in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, in each case within 15 days after the time the Issuer would be required to file such information with the SEC, if it were subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, the Issuer has agreed that, for so long as any Notes are outstanding, it will furnish to Holders and to
163
securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
If any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer becomes a Guarantor, the Indenture permits the Issuer to satisfy its obligations in this covenant with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to such other parent Guarantor;provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent Guarantor, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement of the exchange offer or the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement by (1) the filing with the SEC of the exchange offer registration statement or shelf registration statement (or any other similar registration statement), and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the Securities Act or (2) by posting on the Issuer’s website or providing to the Trustee within 15 days of the time periods after the Issuer would have been required to file annual and interim reports with the SEC, the financial information (including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section) that would be required to be included in such reports, subject to exceptions consistent with the presentation of financial information in the offering memorandum in connection with the original offering of the Notes.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of clause (3) under “Events of Default and Remedies” until 120 days after the date any report hereunder is due.
Events of Default and Remedies
The Indenture provides that each of the following is an Event of Default:
(1) default in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;
(2) default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on or with respect to the Notes;
(3) failure by the Issuer or any Guarantor for 60 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the Notes to comply with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements (other than a default referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above) contained in the Indenture or the Notes;
(4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if both:
(a) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and
(b) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $50.0 million or more at any one time outstanding;
164
(5) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed;
(6) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary); or
(7) the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the responsible officers of any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), as the case may be, denies that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of the Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with the Indenture.
If any Event of Default (other than of a type specified in clause (6) above) occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately;provided, that so long as any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Indenture as part of the Senior Credit Facilities shall be outstanding, no such acceleration shall be effective until the earlier of:
(1) acceleration of any such Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities; or
(2) five Business Days after the giving of written notice of such acceleration to the Issuer and the Representative with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities.
Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (6) of the first paragraph of this section, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. The Indenture provides that the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. In addition, the Trustee will have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if in the best judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the best interests of the Holders of the Notes.
The Indenture provides that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture (except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences (except if such rescission would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose:
(1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or
(2) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or
(3) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee thereunder, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
165
under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the Notes unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:
(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(2) Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3) Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;
(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(5) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60 day period.
Subject to certain restrictions, under the Indenture the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.
The Indenture provides that the Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required, within five Business Days, upon becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default.
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders
No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor or any of their parent companies shall have any liability, for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.
Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under the Indenture will terminate (other than certain obligations) and will be released upon payment in full of all of the Notes. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the Notes and have each Guarantor’s obligation discharged with respect to its Guarantee (“Legal Defeasance”) and cure all then existing Events of Default except for:
(1) the rights of Holders of the Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to the Indenture;
(2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;
(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and
166
(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.
In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and those of each Guarantor released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events pertaining to the Issuer) described under “Events of Default and Remedies” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes:
(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Securities, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes in cash on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;
(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,
(a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or
(b) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(4) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;
(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facilities, the Notes, the Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which, the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and the granting of Liens in connection therewith);
(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws
167
affecting creditors’ rights generally (including Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code) under any applicable U.S. Federal or state law, and that the Trustee has a perfected security interest in such trust funds for the ratable benefit of the applicable Holders;
(7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and
(8) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.
Satisfaction and Discharge
The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to the Notes, when either:
(1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(2)(a) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Securities, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;
(b) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit or any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to the Indenture or the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facilities, the Notes, the Indenture, or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and the granting of Liens in connection therewith);
(c) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the Indenture; and
(d) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.
In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the Indenture, any Guarantee and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the
168
Notes issued thereunder may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, other than the Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes).
The Indenture provides that, without the consent of the affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to any such Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:
(1) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of such Note (other than provisions relating to the covenants described above under the caption “Repurchase at the Option of Holders”);
(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any such Note;
(4) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of such Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in the Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders;
(5) make any such Note payable in money other than that stated therein;
(6) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Notes;
(7) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions;
(8) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;
(9) contractually subordinate Notes in a manner that would adversely affect the Holders; or
(10) except as expressly permitted by the Indenture, modify the Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer, any Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee or the Indenture and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture and any Guarantee or Notes without the consent of any applicable Holder;
(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency;
(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;
(3) to comply with the covenant relating to mergers, consolidations and sales of assets;

(5) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder;
(6) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor;
(7) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;
(8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee thereunder pursuant to the requirements thereof;
169
(9) to provide for the issuance of exchange notes or private exchange notes, which are identical to exchange notes except that they are not freely transferable;
(10) to add a Guarantor or co-obligor under the Indenture;
(11) to conform the text of the Indenture, Guarantee or the Notes to any provision of this “Description of the Notes” to the extent that such provision in this “Description of the Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, Guarantee or Notes; or
(12) making any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by the Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes;provided, that (i) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes.
The consent of the Holders is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.
Notices
Notices given by publication will be deemed given on the first date on which publication is made and notices given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, will be deemed given five calendar days after mailing.
Neither the failure to give any notice to a particular holder, nor any defect in a notice given to a particular holder, will affect the sufficiency of any notice given to another holder.
The Trustee
The Issuer has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon as paying agent, registrar, authentication agent and transfer agent for the Notes. The Issuer may at any time appoint new paying agents, transfer agents and registrars. However, the Issuer will at all times maintain a paying agent in New York City until the Notes are paid.
Concerning the Trustee
The Indenture contains certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee thereunder, should it become a creditor of the Issuer, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee or resign.
The Indenture provides that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default shall occur (which shall not be cured), the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any Holder of the Notes, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

The Indenture, the Notes and any Guarantee are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

193
BOOK-ENTRY; DELIVERY AND FORM
The exchange notes issued in exchange for outstanding notes will be represented by a global note in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Global Notes”). The Global Notes will be deposited with the trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC.
Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated notes. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and their respective direct or indirect participants, which rules and procedures may change from time to time.
Global Notes
The following description of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg is based on our understanding of their current operations and procedures. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them from time to time. We take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the systems or their participants directly to discuss these matters.
Upon the issuance of the Notes, DTC will credit, on its internal system, the respective principal amount of the individual beneficial interests represented by such Global Notes to the accounts of persons who have accounts with such depositary. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be limited to DTC’s participants or persons who hold interests through its participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants).
As long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered holder of a Global Note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of the notes represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the indenture and the notes. Unless DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act or (2) an event of default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such note, owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note will not be entitled to have any portions of such Global Note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form and will not be considered the owners or holders of such Global Note (or any notes represented thereby) under the indenture or the notes. In addition, no beneficial owners of an interest in a Global Note will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures (in addition to those under the indenture).
Investors may hold their interests in the Global Notes directly through DTC, if they are participants in such system, or indirectly through organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg) which are participants in such system. All interests in a Global Note may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC and/or Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.
Payments of the principal of and interest on Global Notes will be made to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner thereof. Neither we, the trustee, DTC nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note representing any notes held by it or its nominee, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global
194
Note for such notes as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street name.” Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.
Because DTC can only act on behalf of its participants, who in turn act on behalf of indirect participants and certain banks, the ability of a holder of a beneficial interest in Global Notes to pledge such interest to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interest, may be limited by the lack of a definitive certificate for such interest. The laws of some countries and some U.S. states require that certain persons take physical delivery of securities in certificated form. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such persons may be limited. Because DTC can act only on behalf of participants, which in turn, act on behalf of indirect participants and certain banks, the ability of a person having a beneficial interest in a Global Note to pledge such interest to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interest.
Except for trades involving only Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg participants, interests in the Global Notes will trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System and secondary market trading activity in such interests will therefore settle in immediately available funds, subject in all cases to the rules and procedures of DTC and its participants. Transfers of interests in Global Notes between participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds.
Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the notes described above, cross-market transfers of beneficial interests in Global Notes between DTC participants, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, by its respective depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream, Luxembourg participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg.
Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a DTC participant will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg immediately following the DTC settlement date). Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participant to a DTC participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg following the DTC settlement date.
DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg have advised us that they will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes (including the presentation of notes for exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account with DTC or Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, interests in the Global Notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an event of default under the notes, DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg reserve the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended notes in certificated form, and to distribute such notes to their respective participants.
195
DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve system, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical transfer and delivery of certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and may include certain other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly (“indirect participants”).
Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg have advised us as follows: Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg each hold securities for their account holders and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions by electronic book-entry transfer between their respective account holders, thereby eliminating the need for physical movements of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities.
Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg each provide various services, including safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg each also deal with domestic securities markets in several countries through established depository and custodial relationships. The respective systems of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg have established an electronic bridge between their two systems across which their respective account holders may settle trades with each other.
Account holders in both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg are worldwide financial institutions including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, trust companies and clearing corporations. Indirect access to both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg is available to other institutions that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with an account holder of either system.
An account holder’s overall contractual relations with either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg are governed by the respective rules and operating procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg and any applicable laws. Both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg act under such rules and operating procedures only on behalf of their respective account holders, and have no record of or relationship with persons holding through their respective account holders.
Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg currently follow the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in global notes among participants of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, they are under no obligation to do so, and such procedures may be discontinued or modified at any time. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.
Certificated Notes
If any depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for notes for the reasons set forth above under “—Global Notes,” the Issuer will issue certificates for such notes in definitive, fully registered, non-global form without interest coupons in exchange for the applicable Global Notes. Certificates for notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Common Depositary (in accordance with their customary procedures).
The holder of a non-global note may transfer such note, subject to compliance with the provisions of the applicable legend, by surrendering it at the office or agency maintained by us for such purpose in The City and
196
State of New York, which initially will be the office of the trustee. Upon the transfer, change or replacement of any note bearing a legend, or upon specific request for removal of a legend on a note, we will deliver only notes that bear such legend, or will refuse to remove such legend, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to us such satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion of counsel, as may reasonably be required by us that neither such legend nor any restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Before any note in non-global form may be transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in any Global Note, the transferor will be required to provide the trustee with a Restricted Global Note Certificate or a Regulation S Global Note Certificate, as the case may be. Upon transfer or partial redemption of any note, new certificates may be obtained from the trustee.
Notwithstanding any statement herein, we and the trustee reserve the right to impose such transfer, certification, exchange or other requirements, and to require such restrictive legends on certificates evidencing notes, as they may determine are necessary to ensure compliance with the securities laws of the United States and any State therein and any other applicable laws or as DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg may require.
197
CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES
Exchange Offer
The exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will not constitute a taxable event to holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Consequently, you will not recognize gain or loss upon receipt of an exchange note, the holding period of the exchange note will include the holding period of the outstanding note exchanged therefor and the basis of the exchange note will be the same as the basis of the outstanding note immediately before the exchange.
In any event, persons considering the exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences in light of their particular situations as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
198
CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the acquisition of the outstanding notes or the exchange notes by employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA (collectively, “Similar Laws”), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”).
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit Plans subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“ERISA Plans”) from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are “parties in interest,” within the meaning of ERISA, or “disqualified persons,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. The acquisition and/or holding of outstanding notes or exchange notes by an ERISA Plan with respect to which the Issuer is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor (the “DOL”) has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or “PTCEs,” that may apply to the acquisition and holding of the outstanding notes and the exchange notes, although there can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.
Governmental Plans and certain church and non-United States Plans, while not subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, may nevertheless be subject to Similar Laws.
Because of the foregoing, the outstanding notes and exchange notes should not be acquired or held by any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such acquisition and holding will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code or similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws.
Accordingly, by acceptance of a note or an exchange note, each purchaser and subsequent transferee of a note or an exchange note will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such purchaser or transferee to acquire and hold the outstanding notes or exchange notes constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the outstanding notes or the exchange notes by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.
The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons considering acquiring the outstanding notes or the exchange notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to the acquisition and holding of the outstanding notes or the exchange notes.
199
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for outstanding notes where the outstanding notes are acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. To the extent any such broker-dealer participates in the exchange offer, we have agreed that for a period of up to 90 days, we will use our reasonable best efforts to make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to such broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale, and will deliver as many additional copies of this prospectus and each amendment or supplement to this prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus as such broker-dealer may reasonably request.
We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes by broker-dealers. Exchange notes received by broker-dealers for their own accounts pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of these methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any resale may be made directly to purchasers or to through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any broker-dealer or the purchasers of any exchange notes. Any broker-dealer that resells exchange notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of the exchange notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any resale of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by these persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer and will indemnify the holders of outstanding notes, including any broker-dealers, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the exchange notes and related guarantees offered hereby will be passed upon by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, New York, New York. An investment vehicle comprised of several partners of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, members of their families, related persons and others own interests representing less than 1% of the capital commitments of funds affiliated with Blackstone.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholder
Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2012 and 2011 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in millions, except shares)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (“Catalent”, or the “Company”) is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PTS Intermediate Holdings LLC (“Intermediate Holdings”). Intermediate Holdings is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PTS Holdings Corp. (“Parent”) and Parent is 100% owned by Phoenix Charter LLC (“Phoenix”) and certain members of the Company’s senior management. Phoenix is wholly-owned by BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C., an entity controlled by affiliates of The Blackstone Group (“Blackstone”), a global private investment and advisory firm.
We are the leading global provider of development solutions and advanced delivery technologies for drugs, biologics and consumer health products. Through our extensive capabilities and deep expertise in product development, we help our customers bring more products to market, faster. Our advanced delivery technology platforms, the broadest and most diverse combination of intellectual property and proven formulation, manufacturing and regulatory expertise available to the industry, enable our customers to bring more products and better treatments to the market. Across both development and delivery, our commitment to reliably supply our customers’ needs serves as the foundation for the value we provide. We operate through four businesses: Development & Clinical Services, Softgel Technologies, Modified Release Technologies, and Medication Delivery Solutions. We believe that through our prior and ongoing investments in growth-enabling capacity and capabilities, our entry into new markets, our ongoing focus on operational and quality excellence, our innovation activities, the sales of existing customer products, and the introduction of new customer products, we will continue to benefit from attractive margins and realize the growth potential from these areas.
For financial reporting purposes, we present three distinct financial reporting segments based on criteria established by U.S. GAAP: Development & Clinical Services, Oral Technologies and Medication Delivery Solutions. The Oral Technologies segment includes the Softgel Technologies and Modified Release Technologies businesses.
| • | | Development & Clinical Services. We provided manufacturing, packaging, storage and inventory management for drugs and biologics in clinical trials. We offer customers flexible solutions for clinical supplies production, and provide distribution and inventory management support for both simple and complex clinical trials. This includes dose form manufacturing or over-encapsulation where needed, supplying placebos, comparator drug procurement, clinical packages and kits for physicians and patients, inventory management, investigator kit ordering and fulfillment, and return supply reconciliation and reporting. We support trials in all regions of the world through our facilities and distribution network. In Fiscal 2012 we substantially expanded this business via the CTS Acquisition in February 2012 (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion). |
We also offer analytical chemical and cell-based testing and scientific services, respiratory products formulation and manufacturing, regulatory consulting, and bioanalytical testing for biologic products. Our respiratory product capabilities include development services for inhaled products for delivery via metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and nasal sprays. Demand for our offerings is driven by the need for scientific expertise and depth and breadth of services offered, as well as by the reliable supply thereof (including quality, execution and performance). We provide global regulatory and clinical support services for our customers’ regulatory and clinical strategies during all stages of development.
| • | | Oral Technologies. We provide advanced oral delivery technologies, including formulation, development and manufacturing of oral dose forms for prescription and consumer health products. These oral dose forms include softgel, modified release and immediate release solid oral technology products. At certain facilities we also provide integrated primary packaging services for the products we manufacture. |
F-7
Through our Softgel Technologies business, we provide formulation, development and manufacturing services for soft gelatin capsules, or “softgels”, which we first commercialized in the 1930s. We are the market leader in overall softgel manufacturing, and hold the leading market position in the prescription arena. Our principal softgel technologies include traditional softgel capsules (in which the shell is made from animal-derived materials) and VegiCaps capsules (in which the shell is made from vegetable-derived materials), which are used in a broad range of customer products, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and vitamins and supplements. Softgel capsules encapsulate liquid, paste or oil-based active compounds in solution or suspension into an outer shell, filling and sealing the capsule simultaneously. Softgels have historically been used to solve formulation challenges or technical issues for a specific drug, to help improve the clinical performance of compounds, to provide important market differentiation, particularly for over-the-counter compounds, and to provide safe handling of hormonal, potent and cytotoxic drugs. We also participate in the softgel vitamin, mineral and supplement business in selected regions around the world. With the 2001 introduction of our vegetable-derived softgel shell, VegiCaps capsules, drug and consumer health manufacturers have been able to expand extend the compatibility of the softgel dose form with to a broader range of active ingredients, as well as and serve patient/consumer populations that were previously inaccessible due to religious, dietary or cultural preferences. Our VegiCaps capsules are patent protected in most major global markets. Physician and patient studies we have conducted have demonstrated a preference for softgels versus traditional tablet and hard capsule dose forms in terms of ease of swallowing, real or perceived speed of delivery, ability to remove or eliminate unpleasant odor or taste and, for physicians, perceived improved patient adherence with dosing regimens.
Through our Modified Release Technologies business we provide formulation, development and manufacturing services for fast-dissolve tablets and both proprietary and conventional controlled release products. We launched our orally dissolving tablet business in 1986 with the introduction of Zydis tablets, a unique oral dosage form that is freeze-dried in its package, can be swallowed without water, and typically dissolves in the mouth in less than three seconds. Most often used for indications, drugs and patient groups that can benefit from rapid oral disintegration, the Zydis technology is utilized in a wide range of products and indications, including treatments for a variety of central nervous system-related conditions such as migraines, Parkinsons’ Disease, schizophrenia, and pain-relief. Zydis tablets continue to be used in new ways by our customers as we extend the application of the technology to new categories, such as for immunotherapies, vaccines and biologics delivery. We have recently added two new technology platforms to the Modified Release business portfolio, including the highly flexible OptiDose technology, already commercially proven in Japan, and the development stage LyoPan oral dissolving tablet technology. We plan to continue to expand the development pipeline of customer products for all of our Modified Release technologies. Representative Modified Release Technology business customers include Pfizer, Novartis, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson.
| • | | Medication Delivery Solutions.We provide formulation, development and manufacturing services for advanced delivery of drugs and biologics, including products administered via for injection, inhalation and ophthalmic routes, using both traditional and advanced technologies. Our range of injectable manufacturing offerings includes filling drugs or biologics into pre-filled syringes, and bags and other delivery formats, with flexibility to accommodate other formats within our existing network, focused increasingly on complex and difficult products. With our range of injectable solutions technologies we are able to meet a wide range of specifications, timelines and budgets. The complexity of the manufacturing process, the importance of experience and know-how, regulatory compliance, and the high start-up capital requirements create significant barriers to entry and, as a result, limit the number of competitors in the market. For example, blow-fill-seal is an advanced aseptic processing technology which uses a continuous process to form, fill with drug, and seal a plastic container in a sterile environment. Blow-fill-seal units typically cost less than traditional sterile forms on a per-unit basis and are currently used primarily for non-injectable a variety of pharmaceuticals in liquid form, such as respiratory, ophthalmic and otic products. We are a leader in the outsourced blow-fill-seal market, and |
F-8
| operate one of the largest capacity commercial manufacturing blow-fill-seal facilities in the world. Our sterile blow-fill-seal manufacturing has the capacity and flexibility of manufacturing configurations and business provides flexible and scalable solutions for unit-dose delivery of complex formulations such as suspensions and emulsions, products that are temperature, light and/or oxygen-sensitive. We also provide as well as innovative design and engineering container design and manufacturing solutions related to complex container design and manufacturing. Our regulatory expertise can leads to decreased time to commercialization, and our dedicated development production lines support feasibility, stability and clinical runs. We plan to continue to expand our product line in existing and new markets, and in higher margin specialty products with additional respiratory, ophthalmic, and injectable and nasal applications. Representative customers include Pfizer, Sanofi-Aventis, Novartis and Roche. |
Our biologics offerings include our formulation development and cell-line manufacturing based on our advanced and patented Gene Product Expression (“GPEx”) technology, which is used to develop stable, high-yielding mammalian cell lines for both innovator and bio-similar biologic compounds. Our GPEx® technology can provide rapid cell line development, high biologics production yields, flexibility and versatility. We are investing in expanded capability and capacity to produce clinical scale biologic supplies; once complete, combined with offerings from other parts of Catalent and external partners, we can enable a developer of new biologic entities, biosimilars or biobetters to bring a product from gene to market commercialization, faster.
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements include our parent company and all subsidiaries, including those operating outside the United States (U.S) and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). All significant transactions among our businesses have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
We made certain reclassifications to conform the prior periods’ consolidated financial statements and notes to the current period presentation including classification of the U.S. based commercial packaging operations financial results within discontinued operations. The U.S. based commercial packaging operations were previously classified in the Packaging Services segment; which, concurrent with the sale, ceased being reported as a reportable segment. In addition, the current and historical financial results of the non U.S. commercial packaging services operation, formerly generated from the U.K. based packaging facility which was destroyed by fire, have been reclassified to the Oral Technology segment. In addition, we reclassified certain assets recorded as current in the prior year ended June 30, 2011 balance sheet to non-current to properly reflect the long term nature of the asset.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory and long-lived asset valuation, goodwill and other intangible asset valuation and impairment, equity-based compensation, income taxes, derivative financial instruments and pension plan asset and liability valuation. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts.
Translation and Transaction of Foreign Currencies
The financial statements of the Company’s operations outside the U.S. are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate the assets and liabilities of these foreign
F-9
operations into U.S. dollars are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income utilizing period-end exchange rates. In addition, the currency fluctuation associated with the Company’s Euro-denominated debt is included as a component of other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses calculated by utilizing weighted average exchange rates for the period are included in the statements of operations in “other expense, net”. Such foreign currency transaction gains and losses include inter-company loans that are not permanently reinvested.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 605 Revenue Recognition,the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized net of sales returns and allowances.
Manufacturing and packaging revenue is recognized either upon delivery of the product, in accordance with the terms of the contract, which specify when transfer of title and risk of loss occurs. Some of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with its customers have annual minimum purchase requirements. At the end of the contract year, revenue is recognized for the remaining purchase obligation in accordance with the contract terms.
Non-product revenue includes service related fees, royalty fees, annual exclusivity fees, option fees to extend exclusivity agreements and milestone payments for attaining certain regulatory approvals and are recognized at fair value. Exclusivity payments are paid by customers in return for the Company’s commitment to manufacture certain products for those customers only. The revenue related to these agreements is recognized over the term of the exclusivity agreement or the term of the option agreement unless a particular milestone is designated, in which case revenue is recognized when service obligations or performance have been completed. Service revenue is primarily driven by our Development and Clinical Services business. Within this segment we recognized $268.3 million, $157.0 million and $144.9 million in service revenue for the fiscal years ended 2012, 2011, 2010, respectively. Cost of services associated with this revenue was $183.9 million, $103.7 million and $97.4 million for the fiscal years ended 2012, 2011, 2010, respectively. The remaining segments recorded an ancillary amount of service revenue for all periods presented.
Arrangements containing multiple revenue generating activities, including service arrangements, are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance included within the framework of U.S. GAAP. If the deliverable meets the criteria of a separate unit of accounting, the arrangement revenue is allocated to each element based upon its relative fair value. Generally, in cases where we have multiple contracts with the same customer we treat such contracts as separate arrangements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash and equivalents. The carrying value of these cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade receivables are primarily comprised of amounts owed to the Company through its operating activities and are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company monitors past due accounts on an ongoing basis and establishes appropriate reserves to cover probable losses. An account is considered past due on the first day after its due date. We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances when it is assessed that all or a portion of the receivable will not be collected. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the specific customer’s ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the customer’s industry. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.
F-10
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers
Concentration of credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across different geographic areas. The customers are primarily concentrated in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. The Company normally does not require collateral or any other security to support credit sales. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and maintains reserves for credit losses. Such losses historically have been within the Company’s expectations. During fiscal year 2012 and 2010 no single customer exceeded 10% of revenue or accounts receivable as of June 30, 2012. During fiscal year 2011 the Company provided products and services to two customers who accounted for 10.4% and 10.8% of the Company’s revenue.
Inventories
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company provides reserves for excess, obsolete or slow-moving inventory based on changes in customer demand, technology developments or other economic factors. Inventory consists of costs associated with raw material, labor and overhead.
Goodwill
The Company accounts for purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives in accordance with Codification StatementASC 350 Intangibles -Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives, primarily including customer relationships and patents and trademarks, continue to be amortized over their useful lives. In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance that simplified how entities test for goodwill impairment. This guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. We early adopted this guidance for our annual goodwill impairment test that was conducted as of April 1, 2012. In performing the 2012 goodwill impairment test, we assessed the relevant qualitative factors and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units are greater than their carrying amounts. After reaching this conclusion, no further testing was performed. The use of alternative estimates or adjusting the discount rate used could affect the estimated fair value of the assets and potentially result in more or less impairment. Any identified impairment would result in an adjustment to the Company’s results of operations. The Company has elected to perform its annual impairment analysis during its fourth fiscal quarter.
Property and Equipment and Other Definite Lived Intangible Assets
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, including capital lease assets that are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the respective leases. The Company generally uses the following range of useful lives for its property and equipment categories: buildings and improvements—5 to 50 years; machinery and equipment—3 to 20 years; and furniture and fixtures—3 to 10 years. Depreciation expense was $95.7 million, $86.7 million and $87.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The Company charges repairs and maintenance costs to expense as incurred. The amount of capitalized interest was immaterial for all periods presented.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its other long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred pursuant to Codification StandardASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment(ASC 360). This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such assets. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value through a charge to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fair value is determined based on assumptions the Company believes marketplace participants would utilize and comparable marketplace information in similar arms length transactions.
F-11
Post-Retirement and Pension Plans
The Company sponsors various retirement and pension plans, including defined benefit retirement plans and defined contribution retirement plans. The measurement of the related benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit costs recorded each year are based upon actuarial computations, which require management’s judgment as to certain assumptions. These assumptions include the discount rates used in computing the present value of the benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit costs, the expected future rate of salary increases (for pay-related plans) and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets (for funded plans). The discount rates are derived based on a hypothetical yield curve represented by a series of annualized individual discount rates. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on the target asset allocation and the average expected rate of growth for the asset classes invested. The average expected rate of growth is derived from a combination of historic returns, current market indicators, the expected risk premium for each asset class and the opinion of professional advisors. The Company uses a measurement date of June 30 for all its retirement and postretirement benefit plans.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
We classify long-lived assets or a component entity as assets held for sale when the criteria have been met, in accordance with ASC 360. Further, we classify component entities as operations which have been discontinued when the criteria ofASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations (ASC 205) are met and the operations and cash flows have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations and we have no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. During fiscal year 2012, we completed the sale of our domestic commercial packaging operations and concluded the operations of which qualify as a component entity which is permitted to be categorized as a discontinued operation. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value
Derivatives Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings. The Company does not net any of its derivative positions under master netting arrangements.
Hedging Activities
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges for financial reporting purposes is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the balance sheet and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.
F-12
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the EUR-USD exchange rate on its investments in foreign operations in Europe. While the Company does not actively hedge against changes in foreign currency, it has mitigated the exposure of investments in its European operations through a net-investment hedge by denominating a portion of the debt in Euros.
Fair Value
The Company is required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, either upon initial measurement or for subsequent accounting or reporting. We use fair value extensively in the initial measurement of net assets acquired in a business combination and when accounting for and reporting on certain financial instruments. We estimate fair value using an exit price approach, which requires, among other things, that we determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly market. The determination of an exit price is considered from the perspective of market participants, considering the highest and best use of assets and, for liabilities, assuming the risk of non-performance will be the same before and after the transfer. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. When estimating fair value, depending on the nature and complexity of the assets or liability, we may use one or all of the following approaches:
| • | | Market approach, which is based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. |
| • | | Cost approach, which is based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets less an allowance for functional and/or economic obsolescence. |
| • | | Income approach, which is based on the present value of the future stream of net cash flows. |
These fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:
| • | | Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (called Level 1 inputs). |
| • | | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are directly or indirectly observable (called Level 2 inputs). |
| • | | Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (called level 3 inputs). |
Self Insurance
The Company is partially self-insured for certain employee health benefits and partially self-insured for product liability and workers compensation claims. Accruals for losses are provided based upon claims experience and actuarial assumptions, including provisions for incurred but not reported losses.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Shipping and handling revenue received was immaterial for all periods presented and is presented within net revenues.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its equity-based compensation awards in accordance with Accounting Standard CodificationASC 718 Compensation – Stock compensation (ASC 718). ASC 718 requires companies to recognize compensation expense using a fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments including stock options and restricted stock units. The expense is measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards that are expected to vest, and the expense is recorded over the applicable requisite service period. In the absence of an observable market price for a share-based award, the fair value is based upon a valuation
F-13
methodology that takes into consideration various factors, including the exercise price of the award, the expected term of the award, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the underlying share price based on peer companies, the expected dividends on the underlying shares and the risk-free interest rate.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), which is reported in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholder’s Equity, consists of net earnings/(loss), foreign currency translation, deferred compensation, dividend distribution, minimum pension liability and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives.
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Costs incurred in connection with the development of new offerings and manufacturing process improvements are recorded within Selling General & Administrative Expenses. Such research and development costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $16.9 million, $26.5 million and $21.8 million, for fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Costs incurred in connection with research and development services we provide to customers and services performed in support of the commercial manufacturing process for customers are recorded within Cost of Sales. Such research and development costs included in cost of sales amounted to $33.5 million, $31.8 million and $31.6 million, for fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
Income Taxes
In accordance with the standard codification ofASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740) the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in the respective jurisdictions in which the Company operates. In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in each of its tax jurisdictions. The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. A number of years may lapse before a particular matter is audited and finally resolved. The Company applies the accounting guidance issued to address the accounting for uncertain tax positions. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements as well as provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Recent Financial Accounting Standards
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02,Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (the revised standard). The revised standard reduces cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. It allows companies to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary. The Company would first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, thus necessitating that it perform the quantitative impairment test. An entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. The effective date is for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after 15 September 2012. Early adoption would be permitted. Catalent is evaluating the impact of this standard and does not expect a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
F-14
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04,Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs(“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 amended the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(“ASC 820”) to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change particular principles in ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value disclosures. Catalent has adopted the disclosure requirements and such disclosures had no impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05,Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income(“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires an entity to present items of net income, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 also requires companies to display reclassification adjustments for each component of other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011, with the exception of the requirement to present reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements, which has been deferred pending further deliberation by the FASB, and is not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations, though it will change our financial statement presentation.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11,“Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”(“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 will require disclosure of information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of our financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on our financial position. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The disclosures required are to be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Upon adoption, we do not expect that this standard will materially impact our disclosures included in our consolidated financial statements.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Acquisition of the Clinical Trial Supplies Operations of Aptuit, LLC
On February 17, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of the Clinical Trial Supplies business (the “CTS Business”) of Aptuit, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Aptuit”), by purchasing the outstanding shares of capital stock of Aptuit Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aptuit (the “CTS Acquisition”) for a purchase price of approximately $400 million. The acquisition was completed in connection with the pursuit of our strategic growth initiatives. Catalent financed the CTS Acquisition and related fees and expenses using the proceeds from a $400.0 million incremental term loan facility and cash on hand. During the year ended June 30, 2012, Catalent incurred approximately $14.1 million in transaction related costs in connection with the acquisition of the CTS Business. These costs are reflected in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Purchase Price Allocation
The acquisition method of accounting is based on ASC Subtopic 805-10, “Business Combinations,” and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The purchase price for the CTS Business was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their fair values as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price was based upon a valuation and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period. The excess of the purchase price
F-15
over the fair values of the net tangible assets and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill and is generally driven by our expectations of our ability to realize synergies and achieve our strategic growth objectives. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary and subject to finalization of our purchase price allocation and valuation and subject to working capital and indebtedness adjustments.
The initial purchase price allocation for the CTS Business is as follows:
| | | | |
($ in millions) | | | |
Accounts receivable, net | | | 28.2 | |
Plant, property and equpment, net | | | 80.6 | |
Unbilled services | | | 11.8 | |
Other assets | | | 0.3 | |
Goodwill | | | 169.4 | |
Intangibles | | | 177.6 | |
Accounts payable | | | (10.8 | ) |
Accrued liabilities | | | (6.6 | ) |
Deferred tax liability | | | (39.0 | ) |
Other liabilities | | | (1.2 | ) |
Unearned revenue | | | (9.5 | ) |
| | | | |
Total purchase price | | | 400.8 | |
| | | | |
The preliminary goodwill recorded to the Clinical Services reporting unit of the Development and Clinical Services segment was $169.4 million. In addition, the Company expects approximately $6.8 million of goodwill to be tax deductible pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740 Income Taxes.
Valuations of Definite Lived Intangible Assets Acquired
The weighted average life of all intangible assets acquired approximates 13.5 years. The following table sets forth the components of intangible assets by type acquired in connection with the CTS Business acquisition:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Estimated Fair Value (in millions) | | | Estimated Useful Life (in years) | |
Customer relationships- finite-lived | | $ | 171.0 | | | | 13-15 | |
Back-log | | | 3.0 | | | | 1.0 | |
Internally developed software - finite-lived | | | 3.4 | | | | 4.9 | |
Leasehold Assets | | | 0.2 | | | | 4.0 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 177.6 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Pre-Acquisition Contingencies Assumed
The Company continues to evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies relating to the CTS Business that existed as of the acquisition date. Catalent continues to gather information in order to evaluate substantially all pre-acquisition contingencies that have been assumed from the CTS Business. If Catalent makes changes to the amounts recorded or identifies additional pre-acquisition contingencies during the remainder of the measurement period, such amounts recorded will be included in the purchase price allocation during the measurement period.
Financial Results of the acquired business
The revenue and net income/(loss) for the period beginning on February 17, 2012 and through June 30, 2012 included in the Company’s consolidated financial results were $67.9 million and $(0.5) million, respectively.

3. GOODWILL
In connection with ASC 350, the Company is required to assess goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance that simplified how entities test for goodwill impairment. This guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely
F-17
than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. We early adopted this guidance for our annual goodwill impairment test that was conducted as of April 1, 2012. In performing the 2012 goodwill impairment test, we assessed the relevant qualitative factors and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units are greater than their carrying amounts. After reaching this conclusion, no further testing was performed. The qualitative factors we considered included, but were not limited to, general economic conditions, our outlook and market performance of our industry and our recent and forecasted financial performance.
The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill in total and by reporting segment:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | | Oral Technologies | | | Medication Delivery Solutions | | | Development & Clinical Services | | | Total | |
Balance at June 30, 2010(1) | | $ | 826.0 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 22.9 | | | $ | 848.9 | |

Balance at June 30, 2012 | | $ | 839.8 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 190.1 | | | $ | 1,029.9 | |
(1) | The opening balance is reflective of historical impairment charges related to the Medication Delivery Solutions segment of approximately $158.0 million. |
There was no goodwill impairment charges recorded in the current or prior period.
4. DEFINITE LIVED LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Other intangible assets with definite lives are being amortized using the straight-line method over periods that range from twelve to twenty years. The details of other intangible assets subject to amortization by class as of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, are as follows:

There was no intangible asset impairment charge recorded in the current or prior period.
5. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS
The Company has implemented plans to restructure certain operations, both domestically and internationally. The restructuring plans focused on various aspects of operations, including closing and consolidating certain manufacturing operations, rationalizing headcount and aligning operations in a strategic and more cost-efficient structure. In addition, we may incur restructuring charges in cases where a material change in the scope of operation with our business occurs.
The following table summarizes the significant costs recorded within restructuring costs:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | | Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2012 | | | Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011 | | | Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010 | |

(1) | Employee-related costs consist primarily of severance costs outplacement services provided to employees who have been involuntarily terminated and duplicate payroll costs during transition periods. |
(2) | Facility exit and other costs consist of accelerated depreciation, equipment relocation costs and costs associated with planned facility expansions and closures to streamline our operations. |
6. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Long-term obligations and other short-term borrowings consist of the following at June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011:

F-19
The Company also uses interest rate swaps to manage the economic effect of variable interest obligations associated with floating term loans so that the interest payable effectively becomes fixed at a certain rate, thereby reducing the impact on rate changes on interest expense. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had four interest rate swap agreements that have the economic effect of modifying the variable interest obligations associated with its floating rate term loans through April 2013. These agreements include two U.S dollar-denominated, one Euro-denominated and one Yen-denominated interest rate swap agreements.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On April 10, 2007, in connection with the Acquisition, we entered into a $1.8 billion senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of: (i) an approximately $1.4 billion term loan facility consisting of Dollar Term-1 Loans (the “Dollar Term-1 Loans”) and Euro Term Loans (the “Euro Term Loans”) and (ii) a $350 million revolving credit facility. We are required to repay the term loans in quarterly installments equal to 1% per annum of the original funded principal amount for the first six years and nine months, with the remaining amount payable on April 10, 2014. These repayments commenced on September 28, 2007.
The revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings. Borrowings under the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to an applicable margin over either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest per annum published byThe Wall Street Journal from time to time, as the “prime lending rate” and (2) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% or (b) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits in the currency of such borrowing for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. The weighted-average interest rates during fiscal 2012 were approximately 3.76% and 3.25% for the Euro-denominated and US-dollar denominated term loans, respectively and approximately 4.0% for the revolving credit facility.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under our senior secured credit facilities, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility with respect to the unutilized commitments there under. The initial commitment fee is 0.5% per annum. The commitment fee may be reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios. We are also required to pay customary letter of credit fees.
The senior secured credit facilities are subject to amortization and prepayment requirements and contain certain covenants, events of default and other customary provisions.
On June 1, 2011, the Company and certain lenders amended the Credit Agreement in order to extend the maturity for certain Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments. In particular, the Company converted $200.25 million of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans into new Revolving Tranche-2 Commitments and Revolving Tranche -2 Loans. The amendment set the applicable margin for the Revolving Tranche -2 Loans to a percentage per annum equal to (i) in the case of euro currency rate loans, 3.75%, and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 2.75%, which may be reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios. In addition, the Company extended the final maturity date of the converted facility to the ninth anniversary or April 10, 2016, subject to certain conditions regarding the refinancing or repayment of the Company’s term loans, the senior toggle notes, the senior subordinated notes and certain other unsecured debt which would cause the final maturity date to be an earlier date.
On February 17, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of the CTS Business, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement. The amendment provided senior secured financing consisting of a $400 million incremental term loan facility (the “Dollar Term-2 Loans”) pursuant to the exercise of the accordion feature under the Credit Agreement. The Dollar Term-2 Loans have substantially similar terms as the Dollar Term-1 Loans. The Company used the proceeds from the Dollar Term-2 Loans, along with cash on hand, to finance the acquisition of the CTS Business. The amendment set the applicable margin for the Dollar Term-2 Loans to a percentage per annum equal to (i) in the case of euro currency rate loans, 4.00%, subject to a floor of
F-20
1.25% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 3.00%, subject to a floor of 2.25%. The Dollar Term-2 Loans will mature on the earlier of (i) September 15, 2017 and (ii) the 91st day prior to the maturity of Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes or any permitted refinancing thereof; provided such Senior Subordinated Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal amount in excess of $100.0 million. The Company is required to repay installments on the Dollar Term-2 Loans in quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of their funded total principal amount, with the remaining amount payable on the date of maturity.
On February 24, 2012, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement to convert $796.8 million of Dollar Term-1 Loans into new Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans (the “Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans”) and €207.7 million of Euro Term Loans into new Extended Euro Term Loans (the “Extended Euro Term Loans”) with the consent solely of those lenders that agreed to convert their Dollar Term-1 Loans and/or Euro Term Loans, respectively. The Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans and the Extended Euro Term Loans have substantially similar terms as the Dollar Term-1 Loans and Euro Term Loans. The amendment set the applicable margin for the Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans and Extended Euro Term Loans to a percentage per annum equal to (i) in the case of eurocurrency rate loans, 4.00% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 3.00%. The final maturity date of the Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans and Extended Euro Term Loans was extended to the earlier of (i) September 15, 2016 and (ii) the 91 day prior to the maturity of the Company’s Senior Notes or any permitted refinancing thereof; provided such Senior Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal amount in excess of $100.0 million. On March 1, 2012, the Company entered into the Extension Amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to extend the maturity of an additional $11.0 million of Dollar Term-1 Loans into new Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans. In addition, the borrowing capacity of the $350.0 revolving credit facility was reduced to $200.25 million in order to maintain a cost effective debt structure which is appropriate for our financing needs.
On April 27, 2012, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement in order to permit the Company to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to $205 million of Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans (the “Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans”) with the consent of only the lenders agreeing to provide such Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans. The proceeds from the Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans were used to prepay in full all outstanding non-extended Dollar Term-1 Loans under the Credit Agreement. The Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans have identical terms with, and the same rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement as, the outstanding Dollar Term-2 Loans.
Senior Notes
On April 10, 2007, in connection with the Acquisition, we issued $565.0 million of 9.5%/10.25 % senior PIK-election fixed rate notes due 2015 (“Senior Toggle Notes”). The Senior Toggle Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. Interest on the Senior Toggle Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, which commenced on October 15, 2007. The PIK election feature expired with the interest period ended April 15, 2011. Therefore all remaining interest payments on the Senior Toggle Notes are to be paid entirely in cash at the cash interest rate of 9.5%. On and after April 15, 2011, we may redeem the Senior Toggle Notes at par plus specified declining premiums set forth in the indenture plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
Senior Subordinated Notes
On April 10, 2007, in connection with the Acquisition, we issued €225.0 million 9 3/4 % Euro-denominated ($300.3 million dollar equivalent at the exchange rate effective on the issue date) Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”). The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company (including the senior credit facilities and the Senior Toggle Notes). Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, which commences on October 15, 2007. We may redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes at par plus specified declining premiums set forth in the senior subordinated indenture plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
F-21
As of June 30, 2012, there were $20.8 million in outstanding letters of credit which reduced the borrowing capacity under the $200.3 million revolving line of credit.
Long-Term and Other Obligations
Other obligations consist primarily of loans for equipment, buildings and a capital lease for a building.
Maturities of long-term obligations, including capital leases of $57.8 million, and other short-term borrowings for future fiscal years are:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | | 2013 | | | 2014 | | | 2015 | | | 2016 | | | 2017 | | | Thereafter | | | Total | |

Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are capitalized within prepaid expenses and other assets on the balance sheet and amortized over the life of the related obligation through charges to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The unamortized total of debt issuance costs were approximately $28.2 million and $40.0 million as of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs totaled $14.7 million and $10.0 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
Guarantees and Security
All obligations under the senior secured credit agreement and the Senior Toggle Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes (together, the “notes”) are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing U.S. wholly-owned subsidiaries, other than the Company’s Puerto Rico subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the following assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions:
| • | | a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the Company and 100% of the equity interests directly held by the Company and each guarantor in any wholly-owned material subsidiary of the Company or any guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any non-U.S. subsidiary of a U.S. subsidiary, will not include more than 65% of the voting stock of such non-U.S. subsidiary); and |
| • | | a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and of each guarantor, subject to certain limited exceptions. |
Debt Covenants
The senior secured credit agreement and the indentures governing the Senior Toggle Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s (and the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; create liens on assets; engage in mergers and consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; repay subordinated indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; make investments, loans or advances; make certain acquisitions; in the case of the Company’s senior credit agreement, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, amend material agreements governing the Company’s subordinated indebtedness (including the Senior Subordinated Notes) and change the Company’s lines of business.
The senior credit facility and indentures governing the Senior Toggle Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes also contain change of control provisions and certain customary affirmative covenants and events of
F-22
default. As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to its long-term obligations. The Company’s long-term debt obligations do not contain any financial maintenance covenants.
Subject to certain exceptions, the senior credit agreement and the indentures governing the notes will permit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. None of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries or Puerto Rico subsidiaries is a guarantor of the loans or notes.
As market conditions warrant and subject to the Company’s contractual restrictions and liquidity position, the Company, its affiliates and/or the Company’s major equity holders, including Blackstone and its affiliates, may from time to time repurchase the Company’s outstanding debt securities, including the Senior Toggle Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes and/or the Company’s outstanding bank loans in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender or otherwise. Any such repurchases may be funded by incurring new debt, including additional borrowings under the Company’s existing credit facility. Any new debt may also be secured debt. The Company may also use available cash on the balance sheet. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Further, since some of the Company’s debt may trade at a discount to the face amount, any such purchases may result in the Company’s acquiring and retiring a substantial amount of any particular series, with the attendant reduction in the trading liquidity of any such series.
Under the indentures governing the notes, the Company’s ability to engage in certain activities such as incurring certain additional indebtedness, making certain investments and paying certain dividends is tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA (which is defined as “EBITDA” in the indentures).
Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definitions in the Company’s indentures, is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and is subject to important limitations.
7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the EUR-USD exchange rate on its investments in foreign operations in Europe. While the Company does not actively hedge against changes in foreign currency, we have mitigated the exposure of our investments in our European operations by denominating a portion of our debt in Euros. At June 30, 2012, the Company had Euro denominated debt outstanding of $582.7 million that qualifies as a hedge of a net investment in foreign operations. For non-derivatives designated and qualifying as net investment hedges, the effective portion of the translation gains or losses are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. During fiscal year 2012, the Company recorded $69.4 million as a gain within cumulative translation adjustment. The net accumulated gain of this net investment as of June 30, 2012 included within Other Comprehensive Income was approximately $83.9 million. For the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $17.1 million in the consolidated statement of operations related to a portion of its Euro-denominated debt not designated as a net investment hedge. No such gain or loss was recognized for the year ended June 30, 2011 as the Company’s entire Euro-denominated debt was designated as an effective net investment hedge.
F-23
Amounts are reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.
Credit Risk Related to Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness.
As of June 30, 2012, the terminal value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $23.4 million. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $9.0 million. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2012, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $23.4 million.
Counterparty Credit Risk Management
The Company’s derivative financial statements present certain market and counterparty risks; however, concentration of counterparty credit risk is mitigated as the Company deals with a variety of major banks worldwide. The Company would not be materially impacted if any of the counterparties to its derivative financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2012 failed to perform according to the terms of its agreement. At this time, the Company does not require collateral or any other security to support derivative instruments subject to credit risk by its counterparties.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges for financial reporting purposes is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the balance sheet and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had three outstanding interest rate derivatives which were effective for financial accounting purposes as of June 30, 2012. Two instruments had a combined notional value of $760.0 million and one had a notional amount of €240.0 million. These instruments are designated for financial accounting purposes as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. Amounts reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $21.4 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense.
Non-designated Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Derivatives not designated as hedges for financial accounting purposes are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s economic exposure to interest rate movements but, as of June 30, 2012, do not meet the hedge accounting requirements for financial reporting purposes ofASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as a hedge for financial accounting purposes are recorded directly into earnings as other expense, net. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had a ¥700 million notional value outstanding derivative maturing on May 15, 2013 that was not designated for financial accounting purposes as a hedge in a qualifying hedging relationship.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques and also includes instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
Fair value under ASC 820 is principally applied to financial assets and liabilities which, for Catalent, include both investments in money market funds and derivative instruments—interest rate swaps. The Company has not applied all the provisions of ASC 820 in financial statements to the nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. There were no changes from the previously reported classification of financial assets and liabilities. The following table provides a summary of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is estimated on the quoted market price of the investments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
F-26
Derivative Instruments – Interest Rate Swaps
Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on its variable rate long-term debt obligations. The fair value of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) and derived from observed market interest rate curves. In addition, to comply with the provision of ASC 820, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements on the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. See Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Note 7) to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Long-Term Obligations
The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered for debt of the same remaining maturities and considers collateral, if any.
The carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of financial instruments as of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, are as follows:

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $406.6 million of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries that are intended to be permanently reinvested in non-U.S. operations. As these earnings are considered permanently reinvested, no U.S. tax provision has been accrued related to the repatriation of these earnings. It is not feasible to estimate the amount of U.S tax that might be payable on the eventual remittance of such earnings.

At June 30, 2012, the Company has federal net operating loss carry forwards of $413.6 million, $7.8 million of which are subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitations. The federal loss carry forwards expire through 2032. At June 30, 2012, the Company has state tax loss carry forwards of $587.5 million. Approximately $213 million of these losses are state tax losses generated in periods prior to the period ending June 30, 2007. Substantially all state carry forwards have twenty year carry forward period. In accordance with ASC 718, $37.8 million of federal and state losses were generated in prior tax years as a result of tax deductions for equity. Such deductions are not being recognized for financial statement purposes because a cash tax benefit was not realized by the Company. As a result, these deductions are not reflected in the federal and state net operating loss carry forward amounts indicated above. At June 30, 2012, the Company has international tax loss carry forwards of $67.7 million. Substantially all of these carry forwards are available for at least three years or have an indefinite carry forward period.

The Company has established a full valuation allowance against its net federal and state deferred tax assets as management does not believe it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. The Company’s overall valuation allowance as of June 30, 2011 was $265.6 million. During the fiscal year the increase/(decrease) in valuation allowance related to federal, state and foreign assets was $62.4, $(64.6), $(12.7) million, respectively. As of June 30, 2012 the valuation allowance totaled $250.7 million. This total includes a full valuation allowance of $201.6 million and $42.7 million against its net federal and state deferred tax assets, respectively. At June 30, 2012, the Company has also recorded a valuation allowance of $6.4 million against certain of its foreign net deferred tax assets. The net decrease in the valuation allowance of $14.9 million is due to changes in foreign-related valuation allowances, reductions in deferred tax liabilities and changes in select deferred tax asset accounts such as accrued liabilities, net operating losses and OCI. This amount included a net decrease of $2.2 million in federal and state valuation allowance. During the current fiscal year the Company generated federal and state taxable income due to U.S. income inclusions resulting from deemed distributions from foreign subsidiaries. This income is not considered to be from normal operating activities.
Management evaluates all available evidence; both positive and negative using a more likely than not standard, in determining if adjustments to the valuation allowance are necessary. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry forward periods, previous experience with tax attributes expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the carry back or carry forward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction.
As part of the 2007 acquisiton from Cardinal, the Company has been indemnified by Cardinal for tax liabilities that may arise in the future that relate to tax periods prior to April 10, 2007 (the “Formation Date”). The indemnification agreement includes, among other taxes, any and all Federal, state and international income based taxes as well as any interest and penalties that may be related thereto.
The amount of income taxes the Company may pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed assessments. The Company’s estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. The Company assesses its income tax positions and record benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company records the amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Interest and penalties are accrued, where applicable. If we do not believe that it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized.
ASC 740 includes guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. This standard also provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had a total of $33.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of our unrecognized tax benefit, excluding accrued interest for June 30, 2012 is as follows:
| | | | |
(in millions) | |
Balance at June 30, 2011 | | $ | 33.9 | |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | | | 4.4 | |
Additions for tax positions of prior years | | | 0.7 | |
Reductions for tax positions of prior years | | | (5.6 | ) |
| | | | |
Balance at June 30, 2012 | | $ | 33.4 | |
F-30
Of this amount, $8.9 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective income tax rate. An additional $16.3 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would not impact the effective income tax rate due to a full valuation allowance. The remaining $8.3 million represents unrecognized tax benefits subject to indemnification by Cardinal. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits could change by a significant amount during the next 12 month period. Finalizing examinations with the relevant taxing authorities can include formal administrative and legal proceedings and, as a result, it is difficult to estimate the timing and range of possible changes related to our unrecognized tax benefits.
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including major jurisdictions such as Germany, United Kingdom, France, the United States, and various states. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by the relevant tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2001.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has approximately $6.0 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions, an increase of $0.9 million from the prior year. The portion of such interest and penalties subject to indemnification by Cardinal is $5.2 million, an increase of $0.8 million from the prior year.
10. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors various retirement plans, including defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans. Substantially all of the Company’s domestic non-union employees are eligible to participate in an employer-sponsored retirement savings plans, which include features under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and provide for company matching contributions. The Company’s contributions to the plans are determined by its Board of Directors subject to certain minimum requirements as specified in the plans. The Company uses a measurement date of June 30 for all its retirement and postretirement benefit plans.
In addition, employees of a commercial packaging site and a clinical services site were party to a multi employer pension plan. During Fiscal year 2012 the Company, after receiving the requisite authority to do so, notified the plan trustee of its withdrawal from such plan. Withdrawal from the plan resulted in the recognition of liability associated with the Company’s obligation to contribute $29.9 million, $25.4 million of which was recorded as an expense within discontinued operations as it related to the commercial packaging operation that was sold in June 2012. In addition, during the third fiscal quarter the Company received notification from the pension plan trustee with respect to its 2009 withdrawal related to a former printing component operation which was exited. Such notification resulted in a $6.2 million liability which was also recorded as an expense of the discontinued operation.

The Company employs a building block approach in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets. Historical markets are studied and long-term historical relationships between equities and fixed income are preserved consistent with the widely-accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long run. Current market factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market assumptions are determined. The long-term portfolio return is established via a building block approach with proper consideration of diversification and rebalancing. Peer data and historical returns are reviewed to check for reasonability and appropriateness.
Plan assets are recognized and measured at fair value in accordance with the accounting standards regarding fair value measurements. The following are valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of each major category of assets.
| • | | Short-term Investments, Equity securities, Fixed Income Securities, and Real Estate are valued using quoted market prices or other valuation methods, and thus are classified within Level 1 or Level 2. |
| • | | Insurance Contracts and Other include investments with some observable and unobservable prices that are adjusted by cash contributions and distributions, and thus are classified within Level 2 or Level 3. |

Level 3 real estate assets consist of a property fund which directly invests in properties which are held in the UK. The funds are priced using the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the fund and investors also get Bid and Offer prices on a monthly basis. The primary asset is Investment Properties. Investment properties are measured at fair value as determined by third party independent appraisers (the “Values”). Their value is ascertained by reference to the market value, having regard to whether they are let or un-let at the date of valuation, in accordance with the Appraisal and Valuation Manual issued by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
Level 3 other assets consist of an insurance contract in the UK to fulfill the benefit obligations for a portion of the participant’s benefits. The value of this commitment is determined using the same assumptions and methods used to value the UK Retirement & Death Benefit Plan pension liability. Level 3 other assets also include the partial funding of the Eberbach Pension through a company promissory note or loan with an annual rate of interest of 5%. The value of this commitment fluctuates due to contributions and benefit payments in addition to loan interest.

The investment policy reflects the long-term nature of the plans’ funding obligations. The assets are invested to provide the opportunity for both income and growth of principal. This objective is pursued as a long-term goal designed to provide required benefits for participants without undue risk. It is expected that this objective can be achieved through a well-diversified asset portfolio. All equity investments are made within the guidelines of quality, marketability and diversification mandated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) (for plans subject to ERISA) and other relevant statutes. Investment managers are directed to maintain equity portfolios at a risk level approximately equivalent to that of the specific benchmark established for that portfolio. Assets invested in fixed income securities and pooled fixed income portfolios are managed actively to pursue opportunities presented by changes in interest rates, credit ratings or maturity premiums.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Advisor Transaction and Management Fees
The Company entered into a transaction and advisory fee agreement with Blackstone and certain other Investors in BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C. (the “Investors”), the investment entity controlled by affiliates of Blackstone that was formed in connection with the Investors’ investment in Phoenix. The Company pays an annual sponsor advisory fee to Blackstone and the Investors for certain monitoring, advisory and consulting services to the Company. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010 this management fee was approximately $11.9, $10.6 and $10.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2012 there was $1.9 million recorded as a liability within Other Accrued Liabilities. This fee was recorded as expense within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the transaction and advisory services agreement with Blackstone, the Company paid approximately $10.0 million in the aggregate in connection with transactions during the fiscal year ended 2012.
Acquisition of non-controlling interest
In February 2012, the Company acquired the remaining 49% minority share of the R.P. Scherer business in Eberbach, Germany from Gelita AG. The purchase was comprised of a cash payment and a note which is payable over a three year period. The cash paid is reflected in the investing section of our statement of cash flows within the caption ‘cash paid for acquisitions’. The transaction was accounted for as a transaction between shareholders and is reflected as such within our statement of stockholders equity. Concurrent with the completion of the transaction, Gelita AG is no longer considered a related party.
Other Related Party Transactions
The Company has a three year participation agreement with Core Trust Purchasing Group (“CPG”), which designates CPG as a supplier of an outsource service for indirect materials. The Company does not pay any fees to participate in this group arrangement, and can terminate participation at any time prior to the expiration of the agreement without penalty. The vendors separately pay fees to CPG for access to CPG’s consortium of customers. Blackstone entered into an agreement with CPG whereby Blackstone receives a portion of the gross fees vendors pay to CPG based on the volume of purchases made between the Company and other participants. Purchases from CPG were approximately $7.1 million and $6.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Company participates in an employer health program agreement with Equity Healthcare LLC (“Equity Healthcare”). Equity Healthcare negotiates with providers of standard administrative services for health benefit plans and other related services for cost discounts and quality of service monitoring capability by Equity Healthcare. Because of the combined purchasing power of its client participants, Equity Healthcare is able to negotiate pricing terms for providers that are believed to be more favorable than the companies could obtain for themselves on an individual basis. In consideration for these services, the Company pays Equity Healthcare a fee of $2.00 per participating employee per month. As of June 30, 2012, we had approximately 2,300 employees enrolled in our health benefit plans in the United States. Equity Healthcare is an affiliate of Blackstone.
In addition, the Company does business with a number of other companies affiliated with Blackstone; we believe that all such arrangements have been entered into in the ordinary course of our business and have been conducted on an arm’s length basis.

13. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
Company Plan
The Company’s stock-based compensation generally includes stock options and restricted stock units. Shares issued relating to the Company’s stock-based plan is generally issued for the purpose of retaining key employees and directors of its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 4,000 authorized shares are available for future awards under the Company’s stock-based compensation plan. The Company has adopted a form of non-qualified stock option agreement (the “Form Option Agreement”) for awards under the 2007 Plan. Under the Form Option Agreement, a portion of the stock option awards vest over a five-year period of time contingent solely upon the participants’ continued employment with the Company. Other stock option awards will vest over a specified performance period upon achievement of pre-determined operating performance targets over time, while others are market-based awards and vest upon The Blackstone Group’s realization of certain
F-39
internal rates of return goals and the occurrence of a liquidity event subject to certain other performance criteria. The Form Option Agreement includes certain forfeitures provisions upon a participant’s separation from service with the Company.
Stock Compensation Expense
Stock compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of income was $3.7 million, $3.9 million and $2.6 million in fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. All stock compensation expense is classified in selling, general and administrative expenses. Stock compensation expense is based on awards expected to vest, and therefore has been reduced by estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. As of June 30, 2012, $5.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.
Methodology and Assumptions
Stock options are granted with an exercise price at least equal to 100% of the market value on the date of grant. In the 2007 Plan, stock options granted generally cliff-vest 100% five years from the grant date, or the vesting reference date as applicable. Stock options granted typically have a contractual term of 10 years. The grant-date fair value, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a ratable basis over the substantive vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for service and performance based awards, and an adaptation of the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model, which takes into consideration the internal rate of return thresholds, for market based awards. This model adaptation is essentially equivalent to the use of path dependent-lattice model.
The weighted average of assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock options granted during each year, along with the weighted-average grant-date fair values, were as follows.
| | | | | | |
| | Year Ended June 30, |
| | 2012 | | 2011 | | 2010 |
Expected volatility | | 29% - 30% | | 29% - 30% | | 30% - 32% |
Expected life (in years) | | 6.5 - 7.5 | | 6.5 - 7.5 | | 6.5 - 7.5 |
Risk-free interest rates | | 1.3% - 1.6% | | 2.7% - 3.2% | | 3.2% - 3.5% |
Dividend yield | | None | | None | | None |
The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of closing share price of a comparable peer group and other factors. The expected life assumption is primarily based on the “simplified method” which is the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options in 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $272.0 per share, $240.8 per share, and $136.1 per share, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units
The Company may grant restricted stock units (RSUs) to employees for recognition and retention purposes. RSUs generally vest over a three to five-year period. The grant-date fair value, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a ratable basis over the substantive vesting period. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the number of shares granted and the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Rental expense relating to operating leases was approximately $13.1 million, $15.5 million and $16.9 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Sublease rental income was not material for any period presented herein.
Other Matters
On March 24, 2011, a Packaging Services manufacturing operation located in Corby, United Kingdom was damaged by a fire. All employees and contractors on site were safely evacuated with no injuries reported. The Company recorded expense for inventory that was damaged and additional costs associated with transition activities in the income statement line item Property and Casualty Losses within continuing operations. In the consolidated statement of cash flows, the insurance proceeds attributable to the property and equipment destroyed in the fire are reported in cash flows from investing activities. All other insurance proceeds received during fiscal year 2012 to date have been reported in cash flows from operating activities. In addition, approximately $3.8 million of business interruption insurance proceeds were recognized in gross margin in the year ended June 30, 2012 representing the amount recovered from our business interruption insurance related to lost profit. The Company has made appropriate provisions for cost of property damage and employee related severance costs. Future impairment charges, capital expenditures and non-recurring expenses may be required in subsequent periods as more information becomes available and the Company executes on its strategic plans and environmental obligations in response to the fire. While the Company is working diligently with its insurance providers, no determination has been made as to the total amount of the associated charges or timing of the receipt of insurance proceeds.
The Company, along with several pharmaceutical companies, is named as a defendant in one hundred thirty-nine pending civil lawsuits filed by individuals allegedly injured by their use of the prescription acne medication Amnesteem®, a branded generic form of isotretinoin, and in some instances of isotretinoin products made and/or sold by other firms as well. While it is not possible to determine with any degree of certainty the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings, including making a determination of liability, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses with respect to the claims asserted against it and intends to vigorously defend its position.
From time to time the Company may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, inquiries and claims concerning environmental contamination as well as litigation and allegations in connection with acquisitions, product liability, manufacturing or packaging defects, and claims for reimbursement for the cost of lost or damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients, the cost of which could be significant. Based on advice of counsel and available information, including current status or stage of proceeding, and taking into account accruals for matters where we have established them, we currently believe that any liabilities ultimately resulting from these ordinary course claims and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company conducts its business within the following operating segments: Softgel Technologies, Modified Release Technologies, Medication Delivery Solutions and Development & Clinical Services.

17. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Discontinued Operations
In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012, the Company sold its U.S. based commercial packaging operations and concluded the elimination of cash flows qualified the component as a discontinued operation. No material gain or loss was recognized on the sale. In addition, during fiscal year 2011, the Company concluded that its printed components facilities qualified as a component entity, the operations of which were then classified as held for sale and discontinued. In April 2011, the Company completed the sale of its printed component operations in a cash transaction for an amount which approximated fair value. Accordingly, all current and prior period financial information has been reclassified within the financial statements to discontinued operations captions within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows. The domestic commercial packaging and printed component entities were previously reported in the Company’s Packaging Services segment.
In addition, on November 13, 2009, the Company completed its sale of the North Raleigh, North Carolina sterile injectable facility to a third party for an amount which approximated fair value. Also, on March 30, 2009, the Company sold its Osny, France facility to Bavaria Industriekapital AG, a German industrial holding company. The operating results and cash flows from these operations are included within discontinued operations captions within the statements of operations and cash flow in prior periods.
The operating results of these components are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 within discontinued operations.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited; Dollars in millions except per share amounts)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (“Catalent”, or the “Company”) is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PTS Intermediate Holdings LLC (“Intermediate Holdings”). Intermediate Holdings is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PTS Holdings Corp. (“Parent”) and Parent is 100% owned by Phoenix Charter LLC (“Phoenix”) and certain members of the Company’s senior management. Phoenix is wholly-owned by BHP PTS Holdings L.L.C., an entity controlled by affiliates of The Blackstone Group (“Blackstone”), a global private investment and advisory firm.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2013 . The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2012 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Reclassifications
We made certain reclassifications to conform the prior period consolidated financial statements and notes to the current period presentation including classification of the U.S. based commercial packaging operations financial results within discontinued operations. The U.S. based commercial packaging operations were previously classified in the Packaging Services segment, which, concurrent with the sale, ceased being reported as a reportable segment. In addition, the historical financial results of the non-U.S. commercial packaging services operation, formerly generated from the U.K. based packaging facility, which was destroyed by fire, have been reclassified to the Oral Technologies segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory and long-lived asset valuation, goodwill and other intangible asset valuation and impairment, equity-based compensation, income taxes, derivative financial instruments and pension plan asset and liability valuation. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts.
Translation and Transaction of Foreign Currencies
The financial statements of the Company’s operations outside the U.S. are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate the assets and liabilities of these foreign operations into U.S. dollars are accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) utilizing period-end exchange rates. In addition, the currency fluctuation associated with the portion of the Company’s
F-62
euro-denominated debt designated as a net investment hedge is included as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses calculated by utilizing weighted average exchange rates for the period are included in the statements of operations in “other expense, net”. Such foreign currency transaction gains and losses include inter-company loans that are not permanently reinvested.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 605Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized net of sales returns and allowances, if any.
Manufacturing and packaging revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product in accordance with the terms of the contract, which specify when transfer of title and risk of loss occurs. Some of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with its customers have annual minimum purchase requirements. At the end of the contract year, revenue is recognized for the unfilled purchase obligation in accordance with the contract terms.
Non-product revenue includes service related fees, royalty and research and development product license and participation fees, annual exclusivity fees, option fees to extend exclusivity agreements and milestone payments for attaining certain regulatory approvals and are recognized at fair value. Exclusivity payments are paid by customers in return for the Company’s commitment to manufacture certain products for those customers only. The revenue related to these agreements is recognized over the term of the exclusivity agreement or the term of the option agreement unless a particular milestone is designated, in which case revenue is recognized when service obligations or performance have been completed. Service revenue is primarily driven by our Development and Clinical Services business revenue of $93.0 million and $298.1 million , respectively for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and $71.1 million and $167.0 million , respectively for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 . Cost of services associated with this revenue was $67.7 million and $212.5 million , respectively for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and $48.4 million and $112.6 million , respectively for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 . The remaining segments recorded an ancillary amount of service revenue for all periods presented.
Arrangements containing multiple revenue generating activities, including service arrangements, are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance included within the framework of U.S. GAAP. If the deliverable meets the criteria of a separate unit of accounting, the arrangement revenue is allocated to each element based upon its relative fair value. Generally, in cases where we have multiple contracts with the same customer we treat such contracts as separate arrangements.
Goodwill
The Company accounts for purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives in accordance with Codification StatementASC 350 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance that simplified how entities test for goodwill impairment. This guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company has elected to perform its annual impairment analysis during its fourth fiscal quarter each year.
Property and Equipment and Other Definite Lived Intangible Assets
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, including capital lease assets that are amortized over the shorter of
F-63
their useful lives or the terms of the respective leases. The Company generally uses the following range of useful lives for its property and equipment categories: buildings and improvements— 5 to 50 years; machinery and equipment— 3 to 10 years; and furniture and fixtures— 3 to 7 years. Depreciation expense was $27.9 million and $82.6 million , respectively for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and $25.7 million and $69.3 million , respectively for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 . The Company charges repairs and maintenance costs to expense as incurred. The amount of capitalized interest was immaterial for all periods presented.
Intangible assets with finite lives, primarily including customer relationships and patents and trademarks continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its other long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred pursuant to Codification StandardASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360). This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an un-discounted basis, to be generated from such assets. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value through a charge to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fair value is determined based on assumptions the Company believes marketplace participants would utilize and comparable marketplace information in similar arms length transactions.
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Costs incurred in connection with the development of new offerings and manufacturing process improvements are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses. Such research and development costs included in selling, general, and administrative expenses amounted to $3.4 million and $10.1 million , respectively for three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and $4.5 million and $11.9 million , respectively for three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 . Costs incurred in connection with research and development services we provide to customers and services performed in support of the commercial manufacturing process for customers are recorded within cost of sales. Such research and development costs included in cost of sales amounted to $9.1 million and $26.4 million , respectively for three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and $8.9 million and $25.1 million , respectively for three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 .

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05,“Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity” (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 resolves the diversity in practice concerning the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments described in the ASU are to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date; prior periods are not to be adjusted. Catalent is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-04,“Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements” (“ASU 2013-04”). ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. Examples of obligations that fall within the scope of the ASU include certain debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation. The new guidance is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. Catalent is currently evaluating the impact of this standard and does not expect a material impact on the disclosures included in our consolidated financial statements.
F-64
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02,“Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 requires enhanced disclosures about items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). For items reclassified to net income in their entirety, the ASU requires information about the effect of significant reclassification items to appear on separate line items of net income. For those items where direct reclassification to net income is not required, companies must provide cross-references to other disclosures that provide details about the effects of the reclassification out of AOCI. Expanded disclosures concerning current period changes in AOCI balances are also required for each component of OCI on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Catalent is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the disclosures and presentation of our consolidated results of operations and financial position included in our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11,“Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 will require disclosure of information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of our financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on our financial position. In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01,“Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-01”). ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosure requirements to derivatives (including bifurcated embedded derivatives), repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and certain securities borrowing and lending arrangements. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The disclosures required are to be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Upon adoption, we do not expect that this standard will materially impact our disclosures included in our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income “ (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires an entity to present items of net income, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 also initially required companies to display reclassification adjustments for each component of other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements; however in December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 which deferred this requirement. The amendments in the ASUs did not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 and has elected to present the items of and total other comprehensive income in a separate statement following the Statement of Operations. As noted above, the FASB has issued ASU 2013-02 which provides guidance and the effective date for implementation of enhanced disclosure of items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Acquisition of the Clinical Trial Supplies Operations of Aptuit, LLC
On February 17, 2012 , the Company completed its acquisition of the Clinical Trial Supplies business (the “CTS Business”) of Aptuit, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Aptuit”), by purchasing the outstanding shares of capital stock of Aptuit Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aptuit (the “CTS Acquisition”). The acquisition was completed in connection with the pursuit of our strategic growth initiatives. Catalent financed the CTS Acquisition and related fees and expenses using the proceeds from a $400.0 million incremental term loan facility and cash on hand.
Purchase Price Allocation
The acquisition method of accounting is based on ASC Subtopic 805-10, “Business Combinations ,” and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures “. The
F-65
purchase price for the CTS Business was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their fair values as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price was based upon a valuation and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible assets and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill and is generally driven by our expectations of our ability to realize synergies and achieve our strategic growth objectives.
As of March 31, 2013 , the allocation of purchase price was comprised of:
| | | | |
(Dollars in millions) | | | |
Accounts receivable, net | | $ | 27.9 | |
Plant, property and equipment, net | | | 80.6 | |
Unbilled services | | | 11.8 | |

Other liabilities | | | (1.6 | ) |
Unearned revenue | | | (9.5 | ) |
| | | | |
Total purchase price | | $ | 400.8 | |
| | | | |
The goodwill recorded to the Clinical Services reporting unit of the Development and Clinical Services segment as of March 31, 2013 was $170.4 million . In addition, the Company expects approximately $6.8 million of goodwill to be tax deductible pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740 Income taxes.

5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings. The Company does not net any of its derivative positions under master netting arrangements.
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the EUR-USD exchange rate on its investments in foreign operations in Europe. While the Company does not actively hedge against changes in foreign currency, we have mitigated the exposure of our investments in our European operations by denominating a portion of our debt in euros. At March 31, 2013 , the Company had euro denominated debt outstanding of $540.9 million that qualifies as a hedge of a net investment in foreign operations. For non-derivatives designated and qualifying as net investment hedges, the effective portion of the translation gains or losses are reported in Accumulated other
F-67
comprehensive income/(loss) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 , the Company recorded a gain of $12.6 million and a loss of $13.2 million within cumulative translation adjustment. The net accumulated gain of this net investment as of March 31, 2013 included within other comprehensive income/(loss) was approximately $70.7 million . For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 , the Company recognized an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $4.2 million and a loss of $5.4 million , respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations related to a portion of its euro-denominated debt not designated as a net investment hedge. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 , the Company recognized an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $2.0 million and a gain of $7.5 million , respectively.
Amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.
Credit Risk Related to Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness.
As of March 31, 2013 , the terminal value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $1.3 million . As of March 31, 2013 , the Company had minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and had posted collateral of $4.5 million , in the form of letters of credit. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2013 , it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $1.3 million .
Counterparty Credit Risk Management
The Company’s derivative financial statements present certain market and counterparty risks; however, concentration of counterparty credit risk is mitigated as the Company deals with a variety of major banks worldwide. The Company would not be materially impacted if any of the counterparties to its derivative financial instruments outstanding at March 31, 2013 failed to perform according to the terms of its agreement. At this time, the Company does not require collateral or any other security to support derivative instruments subject to credit risk by its counterparties.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During the period, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges for financial reporting purposes is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) on the balance sheet and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.
As of March 31, 2013 , the Company had three outstanding interest rate derivatives which were effective for financial accounting. Two instruments had a combined notional value of $760.0 million and one had a notional
F-68
value of €240.0 million . These instruments are designated for financial accounting purposes as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.7 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income/(loss) to interest expense.
On February 28, 2013, in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s €44.9 million Euro term loan, Catalent de-designated €35.0 million of the €240.0 million notional Euribor-based interest rate swap. Prior to de-designation, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss). The other comprehensive income/(loss) balance associated with the de-designated portion of the derivative will be reclassified to earnings when either the originally hedged forecasted interest payments on the hedged debt affect earnings or at the time the originally forecasted transactions become probable of not occurring. The amount of losses reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of a portion of the Euribor-based interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 is $0.1 million .
Non-designated Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Derivatives not designated as hedges for financial accounting purposes are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s economic exposure to interest rate movements but, as of March 31, 2013 , do not meet the hedge accounting requirements for financial reporting purposes ofASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging . Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as a hedge for financial accounting purposes are recorded directly into earnings as other expense, net. As of March 31, 2013 , the Company had a ¥175 million notional value outstanding derivative maturing on May 15, 2013 that was not designated for financial accounting purposes as a hedge in a qualifying hedging relationship.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012 .

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques and also includes instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
Fair value under ASC 820 is principally applied to financial assets and liabilities which, for Catalent, include both investments in money market funds and derivative instruments—interest rate swaps. The Company
F-70
is not required to apply all the provisions of ASC 820 in financial statements to the nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. There were no changes from the previously reported classification of financial assets and liabilities. The following table provides a summary of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is estimated on the quoted market price of the investments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Derivative Instruments – Interest Rate Swaps
Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on its variable rate long-term debt obligations. The fair value of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) and derived from observed market interest rate curves. In addition, to comply with the provision of ASC 820, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements on the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. See Footnote 5—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
Long-Term Obligations
The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered for debt of the same remaining maturities and considers collateral, if any.
F-71
The carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of financial instruments as of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012 , are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2013 | | | June 30, 2012 | |

TIBOR interest rate swap | | $ | 0.2 | | | $ | 0.2 | | | $ | 0.2 | | | $ | 0.2 | |
The estimated fair values of these Level 2 liabilities are based on quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments and/or the current interest rates offered for debt of the same remaining maturities or estimated discounted cash flows.
7. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Long-term obligations and other short-term borrowings consist of the following at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012 :

Long-term obligations, less current portion short-term borrowings | | | | | | $ | 2,645.6 | | | $ | 2,640.3 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
As noted within Footnote 5 to these financial statements, the Company also uses interest rate swaps to manage the economic effect of variable interest obligations associated with floating term loans so that the interest payable effectively becomes fixed at a certain rate, thereby reducing the impact on rate changes on interest expense.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On April 10, 2007, we entered into a $1.8 billion senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of: (i) an approximately $1.4 billion term loan facility consisting of Dollar Term-1 Loans (the “Dollar Term-1 Loans”) and euro Term Loans (the “euro Term Loans”) and (ii) a $350 million revolving credit facility.
The revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings. Borrowings under the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option,

at a rate equal to an applicable margin over either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the rate of interest per annum published byThe Wall Street Journal from time to time, as the “prime lending rate” and (2) the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1% or (b) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under our senior secured credit facilities, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility with respect to the unutilized commitments there under. The initial commitment fee is 0.5% per annum. The commitment fee may be reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios. We are also required to pay customary letter of credit fees.
The senior secured credit facilities are subject to amortization and prepayment requirements and contain certain covenants, events of default and other customary provisions.
On June 1, 2011, the Company and certain lenders amended the Credit Agreement in order to extend the maturity for certain Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments. In particular, the Company converted approximately $200.3 million of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans into new Revolving Tranche-2 Commitments and Revolving Tranche-2 Loans. The amendment set the applicable margin for the Revolving Tranche-2 Loans to a percentage per annum equal to at the Company’s option (i) in the case of euro currency rate loans, 3.75% , or (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 2.75% , which may be reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios. In addition, the Company extended the final maturity date of the converted facility to the ninth anniversary or April 10, 2016, subject to certain conditions regarding the refinancing or repayment of the Company’s term loans, the Senior Toggle Notes (defined below), the Senior Subordinated Notes (defined below), the 7.875% Notes (defined below) and certain other unsecured debt which would cause the final maturity date to be an earlier date.
On February 17, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of the CTS Business, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement. The amendment provided senior secured financing consisting of a $400 million incremental term loan facility (the “Dollar Term-2 Loans”) pursuant to the exercise of the accordion feature under the Credit Agreement. The Dollar Term-2 Loans have substantially similar terms as the Dollar Term-1 Loans. The Company used the proceeds from the Dollar Term-2 Loans, along with cash on hand, to finance the acquisition of the CTS Business. The amendment set the applicable margin for the Dollar Term-2 Loans to a percentage per annum equal to at the Company’s option (i) in the case of euro currency rate loans, 4.00% , subject to a floor of 1.25% or (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 3.00% , subject to a floor of 2.25% . The Dollar Term-2 Loans will mature on the earlier of (i) September 15, 2017 and (ii) the 91st day prior to the maturity of Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes or any permitted refinancing thereof; provided such Senior Subordinated Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal amount in excess of $100.0 million .
On February 23, 2012, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement to convert approximately $796.8 million of Dollar Term-1 Loans into new Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans (the “Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans”) and approximatley €207.7 million of Euro Term Loans into new Extended Euro Term Loans (the “Extended Euro Term Loans”) with the consent solely of those lenders that agreed to convert their Dollar Term-1 Loans and/or Euro Term Loans, respectively. The Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans and the Extended Euro Term Loans have substantially similar terms as the Dollar Term-1 Loans and Euro Term Loans. The amendment set the applicable margin for the Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans and Extended Euro Term Loans to a percentage per annum equal to at the Company’s option (i) in the case of euro currency rate loans, 4.00% or (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 3.00% . The final maturity date of the Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans and Extended Euro Term Loans was extended to the earlier of (i) September 15, 2016 and (ii) the 91 day prior to the maturity of the Company’s Senior Toggle Notes or any permitted refinancing thereof; provided such Senior Toggle Notes have an outstanding aggregate principal amount in excess of $100.0 million. On March 1, 2012, the Company entered into the Extension Amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to extend the maturity of an
F-73
additional $11.0 million of Dollar Term-1 Loans into Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans. In addition, the borrowing capacity of the $350.0 million revolving credit facility was reduced to approximately $200.3 million in order to maintain a cost effective debt structure which is appropriate for our financing needs.
On April 27, 2012, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement in order to permit the Company to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to $205.0 million of Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans (the “Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans”) with the consent of only the lenders agreeing to provide such Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans. The proceeds from the Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans were used to prepay in full all outstanding Non-Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans under the Credit Agreement. The Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans have identical terms with, and the same rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement as, the outstanding Dollar Term-2 Loans.
On February 28, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Agreement in order to borrow an aggregate principal amount of approximately $659.5 million of Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans and approximately $799.3 million of Refinancing Dollar Term-1 Loans (the “Refinancing Dollar Term-1 Loans”). The proceeds from the Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans were used to prepay in full all outstanding Non-Extended Euro Term Loans and Dollar Term-2 Loans under the Credit Agreement; the proceeds of the Refinancing Dollar Term-1 Loans were used to prepay in full all outstanding Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans under the Credit Agreement. The Refinancing Dollar Term-2 and Refinancing Dollar Term-1 Loans have identical terms with, and the same rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement as, the previously outstanding Dollar Term-2 Loans and Extended Dollar Term-1 Loans, respectively. The amendment set the applicable margin for the Refinancing Dollar Term-2 Loans at the Company’s option, at a percentage per annum equla to (i) in the case of eurocurrency rate loans, 3.25% , subject to a floor of 1.00% , or ii) in the case of base rate loans, 2.25% , subject to a floor of 2.00% . The amendment set the applicable margin for the Refinancing Dollar Term-1 Loans, at the Company’s option, at a percent per annum equal to (i) in the case of eurocurrency rate loans, 3.50% or ii) in the case of base rate loans, 2.50% . Cash paid associated with this financing activity approximated $2.6 million.
As of March 31, 2013 , there were $15.2 million in outstanding letters of credit which reduced the borrowing capacity under the approximately $200.3 million revolving line of credit.
Senior Notes
On April 10, 2007, we issued $565.0 million of 9.5% / 10.25% senior PIK-election fixed rate notes due 2015 (“Senior Toggle Notes”). The Senior Toggle Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. Interest on the Senior Toggle Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, which commenced on October 15, 2007. We may redeem these notes at par plus specified declining premiums set forth in the indenture plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
In September 2012, Catalent announced the commencement of a tender offer to purchase for cash up to $350 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding Senior Toggle Notes. On September 18, 2012, Catalent purchased $45.9 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Toggle Notes at a price of $47.1 million plus accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to the tender offer. On November 1, 2012, Catalent redeemed $304.1 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Toggle Notes for an aggregate price of $311.4 million plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with this transaction the Company paid $8.5 million of call premiums and expensed $3.3 million of unamortized deferred finance costs. These expenses are recorded within “Other Income/Expense” in our statement of operations.
On September 18, 2012, Catalent issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes (the “ 7.875% Notes”). The 7.875% Notes will mature on October 15, 2018 and interest is payable on the 7.875% Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2013. The 7.875% Notes were offered in a
F-74
private offering 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 offshore transactions in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 7.875% Notes were issued at a price of 100.0% of their principal amount. Catalent used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the 7.875% Notes to finance a portion of its tender offer for the Senior Toggle Notes and partial redemption of the Senior Toggle Notes as described above. We may redeem these notes at par plus specified declining premiums set forth in the senior subordinated indenture plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
Senior Subordinated Notes
On April 10, 2007, we issued €225.0 million 9.75% euro-denominated ( $300.3 million dollar equivalent at the exchange rate effective on the issue date) Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”). The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company and are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company (including the senior credit facilities and the Senior Toggle Notes). Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, which commences on October 15, 2007. We may redeem these notes at par plus specified declining premiums set forth in the senior subordinated indenture plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
Debt Covenants
The Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the notes contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s (and the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; create liens on assets; engage in mergers and consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; repay subordinated indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; make investments, loans or advances; make certain acquisitions; and in the case of the Company’s Credit Agreement, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, amend material agreements governing the Company’s subordinated indebtedness (including the senior subordinated notes) and change the Company’s lines of business.
As of March 31, 2013 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to its long-term obligations. The Company’s long-term debt obligations do not contain any financial maintenance covenants.
8. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provision of ASC 740 Income Taxes. Generally, fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily due to changes in the U.S. and non-U.S. pretax income resulting from the Company’s business mix and changes in the tax impact of special items and other discrete tax items, which may have unique tax implications depending on the nature of the item. Such discrete items include, but are not limited to, changes in foreign statutory tax rates, the amortization of certain assets and the tax impact of changes in our FIN 48 reserves. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. We are no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations for years prior to 2001. Under the terms of the purchase agreement related to the 2007 acquisition, the Company is indemnified by its former owner for tax liabilities that may arise in the future that relate to tax periods prior to April 10, 2007. The indemnification agreement includes, among other taxes, any and all federal, state and international income based taxes as well as interest and penalties that may be related thereto. As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, approximately $6 million and $8.3 million of unrecognized tax benefit is subject to indemnification by our former owner, respectively.
As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Company had a total of $36.0 million and $33.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. As of these dates, $9.5 million and $8.9 million , respectively, represent
F-75
the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective income tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Company has approximately $4.9 million and $6.0 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, respectively. As of these dates, the portion of such interest and penalties subject to indemnification by our former owner is $4.0 million and $5.3 million , respectively.

12. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
On March 24, 2011, a manufacturing operation located in Corby, United Kingdom was damaged by a fire. All employees and contractors on site were safely evacuated with no injuries reported. The Company recorded expenses for inventory that was damaged and additional costs associated with transition activities and the associated insurance recoveries in the income statement line item property and casualty (gains)/losses within continuing operations. Given the inherent nature of property damage and insurance claims, expenses may be recognized in different periods than the associated insurance recoveries. During the three and nine month prior year period ended March 31, 2012, the company recorded property and casualty losses of $4.1 million and net insurance recoveries of $10.5 million , respectively. The Company has made appropriate provisions for cost of property damage and site decommissioning costs within its financial statements.
As has been previously disclosed with regard to the Company’s participation in a multi employer pension plan, the Company notified the plan trustees of its withdrawal from such plan in fiscal 2012. The withdrawal from the plan resulted in the recognition of liabilities associated with the Company’s long term obligations in both the prior and current year periods, which were primarily recorded as an expense within discontinued operations. The actuarial review process, which is administered by the plan trustees, is ongoing and we await final determination as to the company’s ultimate liability. The annual cash impact associated with our long term obligation approximates $1.2 million per year.
The Company, along with several pharmaceutical companies, is currently named as a defendant in fifty-eight civil lawsuits filed by individuals allegedly injured by their use of the prescription acne medication Amnesteem®, a branded generic form of isotretinoin, and in some instances of isotretinoin products made and/or sold by other firms as well. While it is not possible to determine with any degree of certainty the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings, including making a determination of liability, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses with respect to the claims asserted against it and intends to vigorously defend its position.
From time to time the Company may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, inquiries and claims concerning environmental contamination as well as litigation and allegations in connection with acquisitions, product liability, manufacturing or packaging defects,
F-77
and claims for reimbursement for the cost of lost or damaged active pharmaceutical ingredients, the cost of which could be significant. The Company intends to vigorously defend ourselves against such other litigation and does not currently believe it is reasonably possible that the outcome of any such legal proceeding will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.
13. | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS |
In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012, the Company sold its U.S. based commercial packaging operations and concluded the elimination of cash flows qualified the component as a discontinued operation. No material gain or loss was recognized on the sale. In addition, during fiscal year 2011, the Company concluded that its printed components facilities qualified as a component entity, the operations of which were then classified as held for sale and discontinued. In conjunction with the exit of these operations the Company incurred expenses related to long term pension obligations in the current and prior year periods. During the three and nine month period the Company recorded approximately $3.8 million of expense associated with such pension obligations.
The domestic commercial packaging and printed component entities were previously reported in the Company’s Packaging Services segment.

On April 29, 2013, the Company entered into a senior unsecured term loan facility, in order to borrow an aggregate principal amount of $275 million of unsecured term loans (the “Unsecured Loans”) due December 31, 2017. The proceeds from the Unsecured Loans will be used to redeem all $269.1 million of the remaining principal outstanding of the Company’s Senior Toggle Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest as of May 29, 2013, the date of redemption. The Unsecured Loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate plus 5.25% , subject to a floor of 1.25% , or the “Base Rate” plus 4.25% , subject to a floor of 2.25% . The “Base Rate” is equal to the higher of either the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or the rate of interest per annum published by the Wall Street Journal from time to time, as the “prime lending rate.” The “Eurocurrency Rate” is determined by reference to the British Bankers Association Interest Settlement rate for deposits in dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. The Company is not required to repay installments on the Unsecured Loans and is only required to repay the Unsecured Loans on the date of maturity.
In the preparation of its consolidated financial statements, the Company completed an evaluation of the impact of any subsequent events and determined there were no other subsequent events requiring disclosure in or adjustment to these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Managers
Aptuit, LLC and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Carved-Out Clinical Trial Supplies Operations of Aptuit, LLC and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as described in Note 1, as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss, invested capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Carved-Out Clinical Trial Supplies Operations of Aptuit, LLC and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Carved-Out Clinical Trial Supplies Operations
of Aptuit, LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
Years Ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Business
Aptuit, LLC (the “Parent” or “Aptuit”) is a limited liability holding company whose operating subsidiaries provide services to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies around the world with a mission to engineer a better drug development process through scientific excellence. Aptuit supports the drug development process through its suite of product services and technologies that clients can access either as a fully integrated offering or in a modular, as needed, way to facilitate successful product approval. Aptuit’s suite of services includes regulatory and strategic consulting, discovery support, preclinical technologies, clinical supplies manufacturing, packaging and distribution, and drug substance development and formulation.
Aptuit’s Clinical Trial Supplies (“CTS” or “Company”) division is a leading provider of clinical operations services to the biopharmaceutical industry. CTS acts as a single, integrated supplier for trial materials and logistics by offering pharmaceutical analysis, drug formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, blinding, distribution and logistics services to support clinical trials for the global biopharmaceutical industry.
CTS’s capabilities support trials across the development process (Preclinical - Phase IV) and include extensive clinical supply chain strategy, project management and inventory management services. In addition, CTS’s comprehensive informatics platform of Clinicopia, Clinicopia Connect and IVRS (interactive voice response system) partnership allows clients to manage and maintain control over drug supply and reduce drug waste in clinical trials.
CTS also provides analytical testing and method development for large and small molecules as well as scale up and manufacturing of clinical supplies and niche commercial products across a wide range of dosage forms. These capabilities, combined with customer service, quality, on-time delivery and a leading informatics system, have enabled CTS to develop a loyal customer base that continues to seek more strategic outsourcing partnerships.
CTS is not a stand-alone legal entity, however it is a combination of business lines and geographic locations, under the legal entity structure of the Parent.
Basis of Presentation
These combined carved-out financial statements represent the financial position, result of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in invested capital, and cash flow of the Company, and have been derived by extracting the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to the CTS division from the consolidated assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the accounting records of Aptuit. The carved-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with SEC Financial Reporting Manual section 2065“Acquisition of Selected Parts of an Entity May Result in Less Than Full Financial Statements’’ and Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 1.B.“Allocation of Expenses and Related Disclosure in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity”. The carved-out financial statements include allocations of certain Parent corporate expenses, as deemed reasonable by management. Although management is unable to estimate the actual costs that would have been incurred if the services performed by Aptuit had been purchased from independent third parties, the allocation methodologies have been described within the notes to the combined financial statements where appropriate, and management believes that the assumptions and estimates used in preparation of the carved-out financial statements are reasonable (see Note 3). The carved-out financial statements may not necessarily reflect the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in the future, or what its financial position, result of operations, or cash flow would have been if the Company had been a stand-alone entity during the period presented. Because of the nature
F-93
of these carved-out financial statements, the Parent’s net investment in the Company, including amounts due to/from the Parent and affiliates, is shown as “invested capital.”
The carved-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All monetary references expressed in these notes are references to United States dollars. All intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company’s business lines and locations have been eliminated in combination.
Certain amounts previously reported within the other line item in accrued liabilities footnote of the 2010 combined financial statements have been reclassified to customer rebates and allowances to conform with current year presentation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the carved-out financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the carved-out financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Cash Equivalents
All liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value for cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivables represent amounts owed to the Company from its operating activities and a foreign tax receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.2 million and $1.7 million at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for estimated losses by evaluating various factors, including relative credit-worthiness of each customer, historical collections experience, and aging of the receivables. The Company does not require collateral; however, it will receive upfront payments in cases where a customer is considered a credit risk.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk as it relates to accounts receivable is minimal due the Company’s diverse customer base and dispersion across different geographic regions. Customers are primarily engaged in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. For year ended September 30, 2011, one customer accounted for 12% of the Company’s contract revenue. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, no customer accounted for more than 10% of contract revenue.
As of September 30, 2011, one customer accounted for 11% of trade accounts receivable. No customer accounted for more than 10% of trade accounts receivable for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
Foreign Assets and Liabilities
The foreign operations of the Company are located in the U.K. and Singapore. Total foreign assets and liabilities were $70.0 million and $19.3 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011, and $76.2 million and $23.0 million, respectively, at September 30, 2010. Total foreign revenue for the years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $105.4 million, $114.3 million and $92.4 million, respectively.
F-94
Unbilled Services and Unearned Revenue
Customer billings are established by contractual provisions, including predetermined payment schedules, and the achievement of contractual milestones. Unbilled services arise when services have been rendered and revenue has been recognized but customers have not been billed. The Company regularly reviews unbilled services to ensure such amounts are billable and collectible.
Conversely, unearned revenue represents amounts billed or collected as of the balance sheet date in excess of revenue recognized.
Goodwill
Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 350Goodwill—Intangible and Other Assets, and represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Under ASC 350, purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually. The Company’s impairment analysis is based on a discounted cash flow analysis and other appropriate measures to determine the fair value of its reporting unit. The resulting fair value is compared to the related carrying amounts of the reporting unit. As part of this analysis for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company determined that the carrying value of the reporting unit assets did not exceed its fair value.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Intangible Assets
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Assets that are part of an acquisition of a business are recorded at fair market value. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the initial lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
The Company evaluates its other long-lived assets, including definite lived intangible assets for indicators of impairment, pursuant to ASC 360—Property, Plant and Equipment. According to ASC 360, the carrying value of the assets is compared to current and future expected undiscounted cash flows from such assets. If the carrying value of the assets is not recoverable, the carrying value is reduced to fair market value through an impairment charge. As a result of the Company’s long-lived asset impairment analysis, there were no impairments for the fiscal years 2011 and 2010.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Due to their short term maturity, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair market values.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when all the following have occurred; persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the sales arrangement specifies a fixed or determinable price, product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collectibility is reasonable assured. A majority of the Company’s revenues are earned under contracts which range in duration from a few months to several years, depending on the service rendered. Service contracts generally take the form of fee-for-service or fixed-price arrangements. In the case of fixed price contracts, revenue is recognized as contractual milestones are achieved based on output measures recognizing the effort as work is incurred.
The Company accrues for customer rebates and allowances based upon a current evaluation of its experience and on the terms of the contracts.
F-95
The Company analyzes its revenue agreements to determine whether certain elements included in the agreements can be separated and accounted for individually or as a single unit of accounting in accordance with the ASC 605—Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Allocation of revenue to individual elements which qualify for separate accounting is based on the estimated fair value of the respective elements. Fair value for each element is established generally based on the sales price charged when the same or similar services are sold separately. Once a determination is made whether the elements of an agreement are either a single unit or need to be separated into individual units, the Company recognizes revenue as services are performed or products are delivered, depending on the nature of the work contracted in the agreement.
The Company pays, on behalf of its clients, reimbursed costs for items such as comparator drugs, travel, printing, meetings and couriers and its clients reimburse the Company for these costs. As required by ASC 605,“Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred”, amounts paid by the Company as a principal for reimbursed costs are included in direct costs as reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses and the reimbursements the Company receives as a principal are reported as reimbursed revenue.
The Company includes standard indemnification provisions in its customer contracts, which include standard provisions limiting the Company’s liability under such contracts, including the Company’s indemnification obligations.

General and administrative expenses consist of computer software, business insurance, bad debt expense, office supplies and expenses, freight and courier charges, advertising and other corporate expenses.
For years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, Other expense, net, of $0.3 million, $0.6 million and $1.0 million, primarily included foreign exchange transaction gains and losses.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes has been determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid.
The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The assessment of whether or not a valuation allowance is required often requires significant judgment including the long-range forecast of future taxable income and the evaluation of planning initiatives.
Adjustments to the deferred tax valuation allowances are made to earnings in the period when such assessments are made.
Although the Company’s Parent files a consolidated federal income tax return and foreign returns, which includes all of its eligible subsidiaries, including the Company, the tax provision for the Company has been prepared assuming separate returns as if the Company has not been included in a consolidated income tax return with its Parent. The net operating loss carryforward from prior years was computed on an allocation methodology that estimates the loss that would be generated if the carved-out entities filed a separate tax return since inception. The current and deferred tax provision was computed under the premise that the carved-out business was a stand-alone taxpayer. Current income tax liabilities are presented based on current amounts owed for the current tax year and assume that prior year balances owed have been paid to its Parent and offset through invested capital.

Income Tax Contingencies
The Company accounts for income tax contingencies using a benefit recognition model. If the Company considers that a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, based solely on technical merits of the position, the Company recognizes the benefit. The Company measures the benefit by determining the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement, presuming that the tax position is examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Under the benefit recognition model, if the initial assessment fails to result in the recognition of a tax benefit, the Company will regularly monitor its position and subsequently recognize the tax benefit: (i) if there are changes in tax law, analogous case law or there is new information that sufficiently raise the likelihood of prevailing on the technical merits of the position to more likely than not; (ii) if the statute of limitations expires; or (iii) if there is a completion of an audit resulting in a favorable settlement of that tax year with the appropriate agency. The Company regularly re-evaluates its tax positions based upon the results of audits of federal, state and foreign income tax filings, statute of limitations expirations, and change in tax law or receipt of new information that would either increase or decrease the technical merits of a position relative to the “more-likely-than-not” standard. Liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions are classified as current only when the Company expects to pay cash within the next 12 months. Interest and penalties, if any, are recorded in income tax expense and are classified in the combined balance sheet with the related liability.
The Company is subject to income tax in many jurisdictions and a certain degree of estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. All of the Company’s tax positions are subject to audit by the local taxing authorities in each tax jurisdiction. Tax audits can involve complex issues and the resolution of issues may span multiple years, particularly if subject to negotiation or litigation.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations is the respective local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the current period end exchange rate. Income and expense amounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period in which the transaction occurred. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the cumulative translation gain (loss) adjustment of $0.1 million, ($0.4 million), and ($5.3 million) respectively, is included in net contributions from (distributions to) parent, in the Combined Statement of Invested Capital.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Parent applies ASC 718—Share-Based Payment to record equity-based compensation. Under this method, compensation expense is recognized for all employee share-based payments granted subsequent to October 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. The Parent selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate model for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs, including risk free interest rate, expected volatility, dividends and expected option life. Equity based compensation is issued at the Parent level and is allocated to the Company. See Note 12 for further information on the equity-based compensation estimates.
Recent Financial Accounting Standards
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force to amend certain guidance inFASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605, Revenue Recognition, 25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements”. The amended guidance in ASC 605-25 (1) modifies the separation criteria by eliminating the criterion that requires objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the undelivered item(s), and (2) eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation
F-97
and instead requires that arrangement consideration be allocated, at the inception of the arrangement, to all deliverables based on their relative selling price. The amended guidance in ASC 605-25 was adopted by the Company prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified as of October 1, 2010, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s combined results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In May 2009, and as amended in February 2010, ASC 855—Subsequent Events was issued, which established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. See Note 16 for disclosures on subsequent events.
In April 2009, ASC 820—Fair Value and Measurements Disclosure was amended to provide guidance of determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that asset is not active. ASC 820 amended previous guidance on this topic to include guidance on how to determine the fair value of a financial asset in an inactive market. This statement was effective for the Company on October 1, 2009 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s combined results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued ASC 350.30,Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. ASC 350.30 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. ASC 350.30 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. On October 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 350.30 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its combined results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2006, ASC 740 -Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes was issued. This statement clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a Company’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The adoption of ASC 740 on October 1, 2009 had no impact on the combined financial statements.
3. Preparation of Carved-Out Financial Statements
The following allocation policies have been used in the preparation of these carved-out financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, these policies have been consistently applied in the financial statements.
Financial statement items related specifically to the Company have been identified and included in the financial statements. These include balance sheet items, revenue, direct costs, labor and benefits, facilities and maintenance, consulting and outside services, and general and administrative costs.
For purposes of presenting the carved-out financial statements, allocations were required to determine the cost of general and administrative activities performed by the Parent, attributable to the Company. These shared services included, but are not limited to, executive management, accounting, information services, professional and consulting fees, legal, and human resources. Where specific identification could not be utilized, allocations were made based upon revenue or headcount. In situations where no allocation methodology was more appropriate than another, based upon underlying facts and circumstances, or the cost, an even allocation between the Company and other subsidiaries of the Parent was utilized.
Interest expense has been allocated based upon principal balances outstanding that were directly used to acquire Company assets and liabilities. For non-specific outstanding debt balances, interest has been allocated by the Parent based upon the Company’s working capital position at the time the debt was incurred.
Management believes that the allocation methodologies are reasonable; however, expenses allocated to the Company are not necessarily indicative of the expenses that would have been incurred on a stand-alone basis nor
F-98
are they indicative of costs that may be incurred in the future. Actual results could differ from these estimates. It is not practical to estimate the costs that would have been incurred by the Company if it had operated on a stand-alone basis.

The Company’s portion of the US Federal net operating losses is $61.4 million at September 30, 2011, which expire in varying amounts beginning 2027 through 2032.
In accordance with ASC 740—Accounting for Income Taxes, a valuation allowance is created and offset against the net deferred tax asset if, based on existing facts and circumstances, it is not more likely than not that the asset will be realized. The Company increased the valuation allowance on US deferred tax assets for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 by $9.0 million, $6.1 million and $6.7 million respectively. The valuation allowance will be reduced when and if, in the Company’s opinion, significant positive evidence exists which indicates that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to realize its U.S. deferred tax assets.
The Company has determined that current earnings of its foreign entities, other than Singapore may be periodically remitted to the United States. Accordingly, it has provided for US tax on the potential repatriation of the UK’s earnings. The Company does not provide for US taxes on the basis differences in its investment in the stock of its foreign Singapore entity since it anticipates that those investments to be essentially permanent in duration. Undistributed earnings of the Singapore entity for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 total $6.2 million, $4.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
The income tax provision differs from the amounts computed by applying the federal statutory rate to net loss before income taxes primarily due to the impact of valuation allowances. The Company adopted the Provisions of ASC 740-10,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on October 1, 2009. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, the Parent or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S., various state, and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the
F-102
Parent is subject to examination by the taxing authorities in each major jurisdiction; United Kingdom, Singapore and the U.S. As of September 30, 2011 certain subsidiaries of the Parent are under audit for fiscal years 2006 through 2007 in the U.K. However, it is not anticipated that any changes to taxable income or loss will occur for the above years. The US is not currently under any federal or state income tax examinations, however the carryforward of net operating losses is open for adjustment.
11. Capitalization
Invested Capital
Capitalization of the Company is presented as Invested Capital because Aptuit, LLC has not formed a separate legal entity to comprise the CTS division. The Invested Capital is the residual of the total assets and total liabilities derived in accordance with the carve-out principles reflecting the shareholders interest in the CTS division.
The Parent has funded the acquisition and operating activities of the Company, as well as its other operations, through equity offerings (including common and preferred stock offerings) and bank and finance company debt. Funds used by the Parent for acquisition of the Company have been recorded by the Parent as an investment in the Company. Funds subsequently provided to, or received from, the Company after the initial acquisition of its assets have been recorded by the Parent in an “intercompany account balance.” Historically, the Parent has not charged or credited the Company for interest on funds provided to, or received from the Company. For the purpose of these carved-out financial statements, interest expense has been allocated to the Company.
The intercompany balances have been contributed by the Parent to the Company, or by the Company to the Parent, at the end of the year and, therefore, has been included in the statement of invested capital.
12. Restricted Unit and Option Plan
Restricted Units
At the formation of the Parent, restricted Common Units (“Old Restricted Units”) were reserved for issuance to management under the Parent’s 2005 Option and Award Plan, as amended (the “Old Plan”). Restricted Units have been issued at fair market values ranging from $0.075 to $1.00 per unit and are subject to vesting provisions as determined by the Board of Managers at the time of issuance. On February 9, 2010, the Parent adopted its 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “New Plan”, and together with the Old Plan, collectively referred to as the “Plan”). On March 9, 2010, the Company awarded restricted units under the New Plan (“New Restricted Units” and together with Old Restricted Units, collectively referred to as “Restricted Units”) to certain holders of Old Restricted Units, and upon acceptance of such New Restricted Units, holders forfeited their Old Restricted Units. Restricted Unit compensation expense is reflected in compensation and benefits on the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Unit Options
The Parent has granted options under the Old Plan. The exercise price of each option granted is equal to or greater than the market price of the Parent’s Common Units on the date of grant and the maximum exercise term of each option granted is 10 years. Options are granted upon approval by the Board of Managers and vest over various periods, as determined by the Board of Managers at the date of grant. Pursuant with the plan, the Parent granted options during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. The Parent has not granted options during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Stock option expense is reflected in compensation and benefits on the Combined Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Under the Plans, restricted units and options carry both time and performance vesting provisions over a five-year period. Time vesting provisions provide that half of each restricted unit award and option grant vest ratably
F-103
over the five-year period. The performance vesting provisions provide that the remaining half of each restricted unit award and option is vested and exercisable in the five-year period upon the Parent achieving financial performance targets as established by the Board of Managers. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 the performance targets were met and restricted unit awards and option grants vested. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the performance targets were not met and accordingly no restricted unit awards or option grants vested. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, although the performance targets were not met, the Compensation Committee, in consideration of significant other achievements, agreed within its authority, to vest restricted unit awards and option grants.
The Company has been allocated compensation expense related to these plans based on specific identification of both direct, and indirect, employees, who provided services to the Company.
Stock compensation expense recorded on options and restricted units for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $0.3 million respectively. The expense includes allocated stock compensation related to overall corporate and governance equity award holders who supported CTS during the financial periods.
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, there was approximately $0.4 million, $0.6 million and $0.2 million respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding restricted units. These costs are expected to be recognized over the next four years. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, there was approximately $0.8 million, of total unrecognized compensation expense for stock options. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 there was no unrecognized compensation expense for stock options.
13. Employee Savings and Pension Plans
The Parent provides a 401(k) Retirement Plan to its U.S. employees. The Parent’s match contribution is 50% of the employee’s contribution up to 3% of such employee’s pay. Employees hired on or before July 1, 2007 are immediately vested in the matching contribution. Employees hired after July 1, 2007 are subject to a five year graded vesting schedule of 20% vesting per year. The Parent suspended contributions to the 401(k) during the period from November 1, 2009 thru December 31, 2010.
The Company’s allocated contributions, for both direct and indirect employees, under its 401(k) retirement plan for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was $0.5 million, $0.0 million and $0.7 million respectively.
The Parent provides a defined contribution plan for qualifying U.K. employees employed by the Parent’s U.K. subsidiaries. An employee may contribute 3% of his or her annual compensation and the Parent matches such contribution with 7.5% of the employee’s annual compensation. CTS individuals within the Company are included in these plans and costs have been allocated accordingly. Additionally, as part of the Parent cost allocations discussed in Note 3, additional Parent company costs have been allocated to the Company.
The Company’s allocated contributions, for both direct and indirect employees, under its U.K. defined contribution plan for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was $0.7 million, $0.6 million and $0.7 million respectively.
14. Related Parties
The Company is also allocated costs for services and administrative functions provided by the Parent and its subsidiaries, which include, but are not limited to executive management, accounting, information services, professional and consulting fees, legal, and human resources. These costs are allocated to the Company based upon such things as revenues and headcount. Although the costs of these services cannot be quantified on a stand-alone basis, the Company believes that the allocations are reasonable.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is subject to potential claims and legal actions that are pending or may be asserted. These matters have arisen in the ordinary course and conduct of the Company’s business, as well as assumed through acquisitions, and some are expected to be covered, at least in part, by insurance. Claim estimates that are probable and can be reasonably estimated would be reflected as liabilities of the Company. The Company does not expect outstanding claims to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, or results of operation. Below is a summary of claims and legal actions:
CombinatoRx. On April 30, 2009, CombinatoRx, Incorporated (“CombinatoRx”), filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against the Company alleging, among other things, fraudulent inducement and breach of contract, in connection with drug development services performed or to be performed for CombinatoRx for its arthritis drug Synavive (CRx-102) study (the “MARS-1 Study”).
CombinatoRx’s fraudulent inducement claim is based on assertions concerning the Company’s alleged failure to disclose facts about a December 2007 inspection of the Company’s Kansas City facility by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, a United Kingdom government agency (the “MHRA”), as well as allegations concerning an additional inspection of the Kansas City facility by this agency in May 2008 (collectively, the “MHRA inspections”). CombinatoRx alleges that as a result of the MHRA inspections, the following cascade of events occurred: insufficient supply of EU GMP-compliant drug product to clinical trial sites located in certain EU member states, which resulted in the withdrawal of regulatory authority to conduct clinical trials in those EU member states, which then resulted in CombinatoRx’s decision to wind down the clinical trial across all sites worldwide. In December 2009, the parties agreed to settle this lawsuit, with certain payments to be made by the Company’s professional liability insurance carrier in consideration for a full release of the Company by CombinatoRx of all matters arising from or related to the MHRA inspections and the MARS-1 Study.
UCB Pharma notified the Company in November 2010 that it would not accept a finished product due to non-compliance with deliverables. The Company acknowledged that there was powder in the blister cards for a secondary packaging campaign caused by an error in the pocket size and agreed to remanufacture the capsules at its expense. Subsequently, UCB Pharma augmented its claim for damages, which now totals approximately $5,300,000 and relates to duplicate material provided by UCB Pharma and for clinical delays. The Company has notified its professional insurance carrier of the claim and at the same time has requested that UCB Pharma substantiate such claim. The Company is still waiting for a response from UCB Pharma for the substantiation of
F-105
such claim. The Company expects that any such substantiated claim will be covered by insurance. The Company does not expect this claim to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, or results of operation. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement with Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc (Note 16), any liability arising from UCB’s claim is an “Excluded Liability” and accordingly following the closing of the sale of the CTS business to Catalent, Aptuit, LLC will indemnify Catalent for any such liability.
Operating Lease Obligations
The Company is obligated under non-cancellable operating leases, most of which expire at various dates through 2021, relating to operating facilities and certain equipment. Rent expense for the Company’s operating leases for the years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, are $2.9 million, $3.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively, which includes an allocation of $0.5 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million respectively, from the Parent.
Certain facility leases provide for concessions by landlords, including payment for leasehold improvements and free rent periods. These concessions have been reflected as deferred rent in other liabilities in the combined balance sheet and will be utilized to offset future rent expense over the life of the lease. The Company recorded rent expense on a straight-line basis for these leases.
Future minimum payments for the Company’s lease obligations for the years subsequent to September 30, 2011 are as follows (000’s):
| | | | |
2012 | | $ | 2,741 | |
2013 | | | 1,991 | |
2014 | | | 1,546 | |
2015 | | | 1,353 | |
2016 | | | 1,161 | |
2017 and thereafter | | | 1,859 | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 10,651 | |
| | | | |
Insurance and Business Risks
The Parent currently maintains insurance for risks associated with the operations of its business, provision for professional services, and ownership of real and personal property. These policies provide coverage for a variety of potential losses, including, without limitation, loss or damage to property, bodily injury, general commercial liability, and professional errors and omissions. As part of the Parent cost allocations insurance costs have been allocated to the Company. Allocation of insurance costs were $1.1 million, $0.9 million and $1.1 million, for the years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Employment Agreements
The Parent has entered into employment agreements with certain key members of the executive team. The agreements range in terms from one to three years and include compensation and benefits, including separation benefits if terminated for reasons other than cause, confidentiality provisions, non-compete and non-solicitation provisions and other customary clauses.
16. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 23, 2012, which represents the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Other than as noted below, there were no subsequent events that are required to be disclosed.
F-106
On August 19, 2011, Aptuit, LLC and Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc., signed a stock purchase agreement for Catalent to acquire the Clinical Trial Supplies business (CTS) of Aptuit LLC for cash consideration of $410 million plus any purchase price adjustments.
On November 1, 2011, Catalent submitted a Dispute Notice to Aptuit pursuant to Schedule A of the Stock Purchase Agreement that asserted that a downward adjustment to the purchase price was necessary. On January 22, 2012, Catalent and Aptuit entered into an Amendment Agreement to the Stock Purchase Agreement to resolve the dispute pursuant to which, among other things, the Dispute Notice was withdrawn with prejudice, the purchase price was adjusted to $407 million, and the outside date after which either party may terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement was extended to March 15, 2012.
