SOMERSET, N.J., November28, 2016 — Catalent, Inc. (“Catalent”) (NYSE: CTLT), the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development solutions for drugs, biologics, and consumer health products, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (the “Catalent Operating Subsidiary”), intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $400 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) in a private offering (the “Private Offering”) that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Catalent Operating Subsidiary intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Offering to fund its acquisition of Accucaps Industries Limited, repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its senior secured credit facilities, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, pay related fees and expenses and provide cash on its balance sheet for general corporate purposes.
The Notes will be guaranteed by all of the wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries of the Catalent Operating Subsidiary that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities. The Notes will not be guaranteed by PTS Intermediate Holdings, LLC or Catalent, the direct and indirect parent companies of the Catalent Operating Subsidiary.
The Notes will be offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale is unlawful.
The Catalent Operating Subsidiary also intends, concurrently with the Private Offering, to launch an effort to amend the credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facilities to reduce the interest rates applicable to the term loans thereunder. The consummation and actual terms of any repricing amendment are subject to a number of factors, including market interest and other conditions. There can be no assurance that the Catalent Operating Subsidiary will consummate either the Private Offering or the repricing amendment on favorable terms or at all.
