Insights

Jazz Pharmaceuticals' planned $850 million exchangeable senior notes offering is a significant financial move. This debt issuance, coupled with the $150 million share repurchase, signals a complex capital management strategy. The company aims to refinance existing debt, potentially reducing interest expenses and extending maturity. However, the additional debt could increase financial leverage.

The concurrent share repurchase may boost earnings per share but could limit financial flexibility. The option for additional $150 million notes adds flexibility but could further increase debt load. Investors should closely monitor the pricing details and use of proceeds, as these will impact Jazz's financial health and future growth potential.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals' strategic moves reflect a balanced approach to capital structure optimization. The debt offering provides fresh capital while the share repurchase signals confidence in the company's valuation. This dual action aims to enhance shareholder value while maintaining financial flexibility.

The decision to repay $350 million in term loans suggests a focus on debt restructuring, potentially improving the company's debt profile. The flexibility in settlement options for the notes (cash, shares, or combination) provides Jazz with future operational leeway. However, the increased debt load and potential dilution risk from share issuance warrant careful consideration. Overall, this strategy indicates a proactive approach to financial management in a dynamic pharmaceutical market.

DUBLIN, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (Nasdaq: JAZZ) ("Jazz Pharmaceuticals") today announced that Jazz Investments I Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Issuer"), intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $850 million aggregate principal amount of exchangeable senior notes due 2030 (the "notes") in a private offering (the "offering") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Issuer also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option, exercisable within a period of 13 days from and including the date the notes are first issued, to purchase up to an additional $150 million aggregate principal amount of notes.

The notes will be exchangeable under certain conditions. The Issuer will settle exchanges by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be exchanged. The remainder, if any, of the Issuer's exchange obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, will be settled in cash, ordinary shares of Jazz Pharmaceuticals ("ordinary shares") or a combination of cash and ordinary shares, at the Issuer's election. The interest rate, initial exchange rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering.

The notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears. The Issuer's obligations under the notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Jazz Pharmaceuticals; will rank pari passu in right of payment with the Issuer's existing 2.000% exchangeable senior notes due 2026; will be effectively subordinated to the Issuer's guarantees of the indebtedness under Jazz Pharmaceuticals' credit agreement (the "credit agreement") and Jazz Pharmaceuticals' 4.375% senior secured notes due 2029 (the "senior secured notes") to the extent of the value of the assets securing such guarantees; and will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and guarantees under the credit agreement and the senior secured notes of Jazz Pharmaceuticals' other subsidiaries that are borrowers or have provided guarantees of such indebtedness.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals, together with its consolidated subsidiaries ("Jazz"), expects to use a portion of the net proceeds to prepay up to approximately $350 million of the term loans outstanding under the credit agreement and the remainder for general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Jazz expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the additional notes for further prepayments of the term loans.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals also expects to repurchase up to $150 million of its ordinary shares from purchasers of the notes in privately negotiated transactions with or through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate concurrently with the pricing of the offering (the "concurrent ordinary share repurchases"). Jazz Pharmaceuticals expects the purchase price per ordinary share repurchased in such concurrent ordinary share repurchases to equal the closing price per ordinary share on the date of the offering. To the extent Jazz Pharmaceuticals effects any such concurrent ordinary share repurchases, it will pay for such repurchases with existing cash on hand and such repurchases will be effected as part of Jazz Pharmaceuticals' share repurchase program announced in July 2024. Accordingly, any such concurrent ordinary share repurchases will reduce the remaining amount authorized under the share repurchase program. No assurance can be given as to how much, if any, of Jazz Pharmaceuticals' ordinary shares will be repurchased or the terms on which they will be repurchased. The concurrent ordinary share repurchases could increase, or reduce the size of any decrease in, the market price of the ordinary shares, including concurrently with the pricing of the notes, resulting in a higher effective exchange price for the notes. This press release is not an offer to repurchase the ordinary shares, and the offering of the notes is not contingent upon the repurchase of any ordinary shares.

None of the notes, the guarantee or the ordinary shares issuable upon exchange of the notes, if any, have been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

This press release does not and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.
