Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
Medtronic plc (the “Company”) today launched the Tender Offers (as defined below, totaling up to $4.175 billion), subject to a debt financing condition, which the Company expects will effectively be leverage neutral.
While the Company expects these transactions to result in lower fiscal year 2020 interest expense, slightly offset by increased U.S. tax, the results of the Tender Offers and associated financial benefit of these transactions will not be determinable until July 10, 2019 after market, at the earliest. Given that these transactions are not expected to be completed until late in the Company’s first fiscal quarter (“Q1 FY20”), the Company is not expecting a material impact from these transactions to its Q1 FY20 financial results.
Item 8.01. | Other Events |
On June 24, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the commencement of cash tender offers (each, a “Tender Offer” and collectively the “Tender Offers”) by its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Medtronic, Inc.
