Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 26, 2017, Allergan Funding SCS (formerly known as Actavis Funding SCS), a limited partnership ( société en commandite simple ) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Allergan SCS”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allergan plc (the “Company”), closed its previously announced public offering of €2.7 billion aggregrate principal amount of notes (collectively, the “Securities”). The Securities were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of March 12, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the third supplemental indenture, dated as of May 26, 2017 (the “Third Supplemental and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) among (i) Allergan SCS, (ii) Warner Chilcott Limited, a Bermuda exempted company, (iii) Allergan Capital S.à r.l. (formerly known as Actavis Capital S.à r.l.), a private limited liability company ( société à responsabilité limitée ) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and (iv) Allergan Finance, LLC (formerly known as Actavis, Inc.), a Nevada limited liability company, all indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Allergan plc (collectively, the “Guarantors”), as guarantors.

The Securities and the guarantees are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Allergan SCS and the Guarantors, which rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Allergan SCS and the Guarantors and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Allergan SCS and the Guarantors. The Securities will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments of subsidiaries of Allergan SCS and of the Guarantors that do not guarantee the Securities. Certain terms of the Securities are as follows:

 

Description

   Princial Amount      Maturity      Price to Public  

0.500% Notes

   750,000,000        June 1, 2021        99.537

1.250% Notes

   700,000,000        June 1, 2024        99.355

2.125% Notes

   550,000,000        June 1, 2029        99.465

Floating Rate Notes*

   700,000,000        June 1, 2019        100.102

*     The Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2019 will bear interest at a floating rate equal to three-
  month EURIBOR plus 0.350% per annum.

     

The Indenture does not contain any financial covenants or provisions limiting Allergan SCS or the Guarantors from incurring additional indebtedness. The Indenture limits the ability of Warner Chilcott Limited and certain of its subsidiaries to incur liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and engage in certain business activities, in each case subject to certain qualifications set forth in the Indenture.

In the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture), each holder of the Securities will have the right to require Allergan SCS to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s Securities at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of such purchase.

The Securities will mature on the dates set forth in the Indenture. However, Allergan SCS, at its option, may redeem any or all of the series of fixed rate notes, in each case, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at the applicable redemption prices described in the Indenture.

The above description of the Indenture does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Indenture and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Base Indenture and the Third Supplemental Indenture attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 26, 2017 the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the offering of the Securities by Allergan SCS.
