PR Newswire

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced that its subsidiary, Elanco Animal Health Incorporated, has priced a private offering of $2.0 billion of senior notes (the "Offering"), consisting of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.912 percent senior notes due August 27, 2021; $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.272 percent senior notes due August 28, 2023; and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.900 percent senior notes due August 28, 2028.

Elanco will place the net proceeds of the Offering into escrow, to be released upon either the completion of its previously announced, anticipated initial public offering (IPO) or a special mandatory redemption, which would occur if the IPO does not take place, or Lilly otherwise determines that the IPO will not take place, by June 30, 2019. Elanco intends to pay the net proceeds of the Offering as part of the consideration to Lilly. The Offering is expected to close on or about August 28, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions.

The notes are being offered in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to certain non-United States persons in offshore transactions in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

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