The 2031 Notes were issued in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S. The 2031 Notes are the Issuer’s senior secured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Endo, Inc. and the subsidiaries that guarantee the New Credit Agreement. The 2031 Notes are secured on a pari passu basis by first-priority liens, subject to permitted liens and certain other exceptions, and the prior payment of the Revolving Facility Obligations from proceeds of the collateral, on the same collateral that secures the New Credit Agreement. The 2031 Notes will mature on April 15, 2031, subject to earlier repurchase or redemption in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (as defined below), and bear interest at 8.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2024.
Before April 15, 2027, the 2031 Notes are redeemable by the Issuer, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100.00% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption. In addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2027, the Issuer may redeem up to 10.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes during each twelve-month period commencing with the Effective Date at a redemption price equal to 103.00% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption. In addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2027, the Issuer may redeem up to 40.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes with the net cash proceeds from specified equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108.500% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption. If Endo, Inc. experiences certain change of control events, the Issuer must offer to repurchase the 2031 Notes at 101% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase.
The 2031 Notes are redeemable by the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 15, 2027 at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is 104.250%, 102.125% and 100.000% during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15 of 2027, 2028 and 2029 and thereafter, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption.
The 2031 Notes and guarantees were issued pursuant to an indenture by and among the Issuer, Endo, Inc., the subsidiary guarantors and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and notes collateral agent, referred to herein as the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict Endo, Inc.’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, make certain dividend payments, distributions, investments and other restricted payments, sell certain assets, agree to any restrictions on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make payments to the Issuer, create certain liens, merge, consolidate, or sell all or substantially all of Endo, Inc.’s or any restricted subsidiary’s assets, or enter into certain transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications, including the suspension of certain of these covenants upon the 2031 Notes receiving investment grade credit ratings.
