Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2015, Horizon Pharma Investment Limited (the “Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon Pharma plc (the “Company”) previously issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by the Indenture, dated as of March 13, 2015, among the Issuer, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.
As previously reported, on June 3, 2020, the Issuer issued a notice of redemption to holders of its outstanding Notes, pursuant to which it announced that on August 3, 2020 (the “Redemption Date”) the Issuer would redeem all remaining outstanding Notes as of June 3, 2020 for cash at a price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Prior to the Redemption Date, the holders of the Notes have the right to elect to exchange their Notes for ordinary shares of the Company at a rate of 34.8979 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The Issuer satisfied and will satisfy its exchange obligations with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered by physical settlement, delivering ordinary shares of the Company, with cash in lieu of fractional shares.
As of June 22, 2020, the Company had issued an aggregate of 5,183,988 of its ordinary shares to noteholders as a result of exchanges of $148.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes. Assuming 100% of the $400.0 million principal amount of the Notes outstanding prior to the notice of redemption are voluntarily exchanged prior to the Redemption Date, the Company will issue an aggregate of approximately 13,959,160 of its ordinary shares, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares.
The ordinary shares of the Company delivered in connection with these exchanges have been issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) and 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
