Item 7.01              Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On September 24, 2019, Lannett Company, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its intention to offer $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Company also intends to grant the initial purchaser of the Notes a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $11,250,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes. In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company expects to enter into a capped call transaction with an affiliate of the initial purchaser. A copy of the press release announcing the proposed offering of the Notes is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

As discussed in the attached press release, in connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company expects to use the proceeds from the offering to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Company’s existing Term Loan A under its existing senior credit facility and pay the costs of the Notes offering and the capped call transaction.

 

The information furnished with this report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

The disclosure in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K contains certain statements of a forward-looking nature relating to future events or future business performance. Any such statement, including, but not limited to, the proposed offering of the Notes, the anticipated terms of the Notes, the expected use of the net proceeds from this transaction, whether expressed or implied, is subject to market and other conditions, and subject to risks and uncertainties which can cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors which include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. These forward-looking statements represent the Company’s judgment as of the date of this filing. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
