Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

On January 17, 2013, Theravance, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as the representative of the several underwriters listed therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the sale of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its convertible subordinated notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) and the grant to the Underwriters of an option, exercisable for up to 30 days, to purchase up to an additional $37.5 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.  On January 18, 2013, the Underwriters exercised this option in full.  The Underwriting Agreement contains other terms and conditions, including indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto, that are generally customary for transactions of this nature. The transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement are expected to close on January 24, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions. The foregoing description of terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The offering was made pursuant to the Company’s automatically effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-186058) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 16, 2013, including a final prospectus dated January 17, 2013 filed with the SEC on January 18, 2013 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Capped Call Confirmations

 

In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company has also entered into capped call option transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Hedge Counterparty”).  The aggregate cost of the Capped Call Transactions is $36.8 million.   The Capped Call Transactions have a strike price of $27.79 per share of the Company’s common stock, which represents approximately a 32.5% premium to the closing price of the Company’s common stock price on January 17, 2013 and a cap price of $38 per share of the Company’s common stock, which represents approximately an 81.2% premium to the closing price of the Company’s common stock price on January 17, 2013.  The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments similar to those contained in the Notes, approximately 10.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market price of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Notes, and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

However, upon conversion of a Note, the number of shares that the Company will be required to deliver will exceed the number of shares the Company is entitled to receive under the Capped Call Transactions by at least a number of shares with a value (determined in accordance with the Capped Call Transactions) of $1,000.  Therefore, any conversion of Notes will cause dilution to the Company’s common stock, even after taking into account any shares received under the Capped Call Transactions.  In addition, if the market price of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions, the number of shares of common stock the Company would receive under the Capped Call Transactions would be less than the number of shares it would be required to deliver to converting holders minus a number of shares with a value (determined in accordance with the Capped Call Transactions) of $1,000, which would increase the net dilution to the Company’s common stock.

 

The Capped Call Transactions will be automatically exercised upon conversion of the Notes at maturity, subject to certain conditions. The Company will not be required to make any cash payments to the Hedge Counterparty or any of its affiliates upon the exercise of such options, but will be entitled to receive from the Hedge Counterparty a number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the amount by which the market price of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions during a specified averaging period under the Capped Call Transactions. However, if the market price of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions during such averaging period under the Capped Call Transactions, the number of shares of common stock the Company could expect to receive upon exercise of the Capped Call Transactions will be capped based on the amount by which the cap price exceeds the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions.

 

For any conversions of Notes prior to the close of business of the 95th scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, including without limitation upon an acquisition of the Company or similar business combination, a corresponding portion of the Capped Call Transactions will be terminated.  Upon such termination, the portion of the Capped Call Transactions being terminated will be settled at fair value (subject to certain limitations), which the Company expects to receive from the Hedge Counterparty, and no payments will be due to the Hedge Counterparty.

 

The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by us with the Hedge Counterparty, are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not change the holders’ rights under the Notes.

 

The description of the Capped Call Transactions in this report is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the form of Base Capped Call Transaction and Additional Capped Call Transaction filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this report.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Theravance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”) and each of the other Underwriters, if any, named in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters,” which term shall also include any underwriter substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 10 hereof), for whom Merrill Lynch is acting as representative (in such capacity, the “Representative”), with respect to (i) the sale by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the respective principal amounts set forth in said Schedule A of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.125% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the “Initial Securities”), and (ii) the grant by the Company to the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the option described in Section 2(b) hereof to purchase all or any part of an additional $37,500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.125% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the “Option Securities” and, together with the Initial Securities, the “Securities”).  The Securities are to be issued pursuant to an indenture dated on or about January 24, 2013 between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).

 

In connection with the offering of Initial Securities, the Company and an affiliate of Merrill Lynch (the “Capped Call Counterparty”) are entering into a capped call transaction pursuant to a capped call confirmation (the “Base Capped Call Confirmation”), dated the date hereof, and in connection with any issuance of Option Securities, the Company and the Capped Call Counterparty may enter into an additional capped call transaction pursuant to an additional capped call confirmation (the “Additional Capped Call Confirmation” and together with the Base Capped Call Confirmation, the “Capped Call Confirmations”).

 

The Company understands that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Securities as soon as the Representative deems advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered and the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “1939 Act”).

 

The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-186058) covering

Such registration statement, as of any time, means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto to such time, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B under the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 430B”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement;” provided, however, that the “Registration Statement” without reference to a time means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto as of the time of the first contract of sale for the Securities, which time shall be considered the “new effective date” of such registration statement with respect to the Securities within the meaning of paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 430B, including the exhibits and schedules thereto as of such time, the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to the Rule 430B.  Each preliminary prospectus used in connection with the offering of the Securities, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, are collectively referred to herein as a “preliminary prospectus.”  Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a final prospectus relating to the Securities in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 424(b)”).  The final prospectus, in the form first furnished or made available to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, are collectively referred to herein as the “Prospectus.”  For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system or any successor system (“EDGAR”).

SECTION 1.                             Representations and Warranties .

 

(a)                                  Representations and Warranties by the Company .  The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter as of the date hereof, the Applicable Time, the Closing Time (as defined below) and any Date of Delivery (as defined below), and agrees with each Underwriter, as follows:

 

(i)                                      Registration Statement and Prospectuses .  The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act.  The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405) and the Securities have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on such automatic shelf registration statement.  Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective under the 1933 Act.  No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued under the 1933 Act, no order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus has been issued and no proceedings for any of those purposes have been instituted or are pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, contemplated.  The Company has complied with each request (if any) from the Commission for additional information.

 

Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time of its effectiveness and at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) under the 1933 Act Regulations, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.  Each preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, at the time each was filed with the Commission, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act Regulations. Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

 

The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, when they became effective or at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will

 

3



 

comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1934 Act (the “1934 Act Regulations”).

 

(ii)                                   Accurate Disclosure .  Neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto, at its effective time, at the Closing Time or at any Date of Delivery, contained, contains or will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.  As of the Applicable Time, neither (A) the General Disclosure Package nor (B) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  Neither the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto (including any prospectus wrapper), as of its issue date, at the time of any filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), at the Closing Date or at any Date of Delivery, included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, at the time the Registration Statement became effective or when such documents incorporated by reference were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, when read together with the other information in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, did not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

 

(iii)                                The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to (i) the Statement of Eligibility (Form T-1) of the Trustee under the 1939 Act or (ii) statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through Merrill Lynch expressly for use therein.  For purposes of this Agreement, the only information so furnished shall be the information in the first paragraph under the heading “Underwriting—Commissions and Discounts,” the information in the first and second paragraphs under the heading “Underwriting—Price Stabilization, Short Positions”, the information under the heading “Underwriting—Capped Call Transactions” and the information under the heading “Underwriting—Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Shares” in each case contained in the Prospectus (collectively, the “Underwriter Information”).

 

(iv)                               Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses .  No Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein, and any preliminary or other prospectus deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified.  Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Securities made prior to the initial filing of the Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 163 under the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 163”) and otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including without limitation the legending requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 163.

(v)                                  Well-Known Seasoned Issuer.   (A) At the original effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (B) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the  Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163, and (C) as of the Applicable Time, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405).

 

(vi)                               Company Not Ineligible Issuer .  At the time of filing the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Securities and at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405, without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an ineligible issuer.

(viii)                         Financial Statements .  The financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, together with the related schedules and notes, present fairly the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries at the dates indicated and the statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods specified; said financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved.  The supporting schedules, if any, present fairly in accordance with GAAP the information required to be stated therein.  The selected financial data and the summary financial information included in the General Disclosure Package present fairly the information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

 

(ix)                               No Material Adverse Change in Business .  Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, except as otherwise stated therein, (A) there has been no material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business (a “Material Adverse Effect”), (B) there have been no transactions entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than those in the ordinary course of business, which are material with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, and (C) except as described in the General Disclosure Package there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its capital stock.

 

(x)                                  Good Standing of the Company .  The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities and the Capped Call Confirmations; and the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is

 

5



 

required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(xi)                               Subsidiaries .  The only subsidiaries of the Company are the subsidiaries listed on Schedule C hereto which, considered in the aggregate as a single subsidiary, do not constitute a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X.

 

(xii)                            Capitalization .  The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus in the column entitled “Actual” under the caption “Capitalization” (except for subsequent issuances, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, pursuant to agreements or employee benefit plans referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or pursuant to the exercise of convertible securities or options referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus).  The shares of issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; none of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company was issued in violation of the preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company.

 

(xiii)                         Authorization of Agreement .  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

 

(xiv)                        Authorization of the Indenture .  The Indenture has been duly authorized by the Company and duly qualified under the 1939 Act and, when duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Trustee, will constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

(xv)                           Authorization of Capped Call Confirmations The Base Capped Call Confirmation has been, and any Additional Capped Call Confirmation on the date on which such agreement is entered into will have been, duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due execution and delivery thereof by the Capped Call Counterparty, constitutes, or will constitute, as the case may be, a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

(xvi)                        Authorization of the Securities and the Common Stock .  The Securities have been duly authorized and, at the Closing Time, will have been duly executed by the Company and, when authenticated, issued and delivered in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor as provided in this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization,

 

6

SECTION 6.                             Indemnification .

 

(a)                                  Indemnification of Underwriters .  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act Regulations (each, an “Affiliate”), and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

 

(i)                                      against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

(ii)                                   against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company;

 

20



 

(iii)                                against any and all expense whatsoever, as reasonably incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative), in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

 

provided , however , that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter directly or through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

 

(b)                                  Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers .  Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

 

(c)                                   Actions against Parties; Notification .  Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement.  In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representative, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company.  An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party.  In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances .   No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

21



 

(d)                                  Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse .  If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

 

SECTION 7.                             Contribution .  If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

 

The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus.

 

The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7.  The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

22



 

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Underwriter’s Affiliates shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.  The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint.

 

SECTION 8.                             Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive .  All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its Affiliates, any person controlling any Underwriter, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company, and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

 

SECTION 9.                             Termination of Agreement .

 

(a)                                  Termination; General .  The Representative may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) (x) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Market, or (y) if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or any other governmental authority, or (iv) if a material disruption has occurred in securities settlement or payment or clearance services in the United States, or (v) if a commercial banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

 

(b)                                  Liabilities .  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

 

SECTION 10.                      Default by One or More of the Underwriters .  If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time or a Date of Delivery to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representative shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting

 

23



 

Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

 

(a)                                  if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

 

(b)                                  if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement or, with respect to any Date of Delivery which occurs after the Closing Time, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Option Securities to be purchased and sold on such Date of Delivery shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

 

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

 

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Securities, as the case may be, either (i) the Representative or (ii) the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.  As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.

The actual stock price and effective date may not be set forth in the above table, in which case:

 

·                   If the actual stock price on the effective date is between two stock prices on the table or the actual effective date is between two effective dates on the table, the make-whole premium will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the make-whole premiums set forth for the two stock prices and the two effective dates on the table based on a 365-day year, as applicable.

 

·                   If the stock price exceeds $ 100.00 per share, subject to adjustment, no make-whole premium will be paid.

 

·                   If the stock price is less than $ 20.97 per share, subject to adjustment, no make-whole premium will be paid.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate exceed 47.6871 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under “Description of the Notes Conversion Rights Conversion Rate Adjustments” in the Preliminary Prospectus.

 

Capped Call Transactions:  In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Issuer expects to enter into capped call transactions (the “base capped call transactions”) with one or more hedge counterparties.  If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, the Issuer may enter into additional capped call transactions with the hedge counterparties (together with the base capped call transactions, the “capped call transactions”).  The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Issuer’s common stock upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market price of the Issuer’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the notes, and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.  However, if the market price of the Issuer’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, the anti-dilutive effect of the capped call transactions will be limited.

The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities and the Capped Call Confirmations (including the issuance and sale of and performance by the Company with respect to the Securities and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use Of Proceeds”) (A) will not contravene any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or other instrument binding upon the Company that is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or to any report filed under the 1934 Act that is incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or, to our knowledge, any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company, and (B) will not constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event (as defined in Section 1(a)(xiv) of the Underwriting Agreement) under or pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or any other agreement or instrument filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or to any report filed under the 1934 Act that is incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (except for such breaches, defaults or Repayment Events that would not have a Material Adverse Effect), and no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or governmental agency is required for the execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Underwriting Agreement, except such as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities.

 

(ix)                               The statements (A) in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Capital Stock”  and, to the extent of the description of the Underwriting Agreement, “Underwriting” and (B) in the Registration Statement in Item 15, in each case insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein, fairly present the information called for with respect to such legal matters, documents and proceedings and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein.

 

(x)                                  The Company is not required, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus will not be required immediately following the Closing, to register as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act.

 

(xi)                               The share purchase rights under the Company’s Rights Plan to which holders of the Securities will be entitled have been duly authorized.

 

In addition to rendering legal advice and assistance to the Company in the course of the preparation of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, involving, among other things, discussions and inquiries concerning various legal matters and the review of certain corporate records, documents and proceedings, we also participated in conferences with certain officers and other representatives of the Company, including its independent certified public accountants and with you and your counsel, at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed.  We have not, however, independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information contained in the Registration Statement and Prospectus.

 

However, based upon our participation as described in the preceding paragraph, (i) we believe that t he documents incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial data included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we express no opinion), when they were filed with the Commission complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (ii)  we believe that the Registration Statement as originally

 

A-2



 

filed, including any amendments thereto and any information deemed to be part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, and the Prospectus (except for financial statements and schedules and other financial data, as to which we express no belief), comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and (iii) nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that (except for financial statements and schedules and other financial data, as to which we express no belief) the Registration Statement as originally fled, including any amendments thereto and including any information deemed to be part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, at the time such Registration Statement as originally filed became effective, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; that the Registration Statement including any information deemed to be part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B (except for financial statements and schedules and other financial data, as to which we express no belief), at the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or that the Prospectus (except for financial statements and schedules and other financial data, as to which we express no belief), as of its date or at the Closing Time, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  In addition, nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that the General Disclosure Package (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial data, as to which we express no belief), as of the Applicable Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  For the purposes of such opinion, the General Disclosure Package shall consist of the prospectus relating to the Securities that was included in the Registration Statement immediately prior to the Applicable Time, the Final Term Sheet (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) and any other Issuer General Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), if any, considered together.  With respect to statements contained in the General Disclosure Package, any statement contained in any of the constituent documents shall be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that any information contained in subsequent constituent documents modifies or replaces such statement, provided that such subsequent constituent documents are part of the General Disclosure Package at the Applicable Time.

 

In addition, we supplementally inform you that, to our knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding, to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party, or to which the property of the Company or any subsidiary is subject, before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement, or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Capped Call Confirmations.

Exhibit A-2

 

FORM OF OPINION OF
SHEARMAN & STERLING LLP

4.                                       The execution and delivery by the Company of the Indenture, the Notes and the Capped Call Confirmation do not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will not, result in a violation of Generally Applicable Law.

 

5.                                       No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States federal or New York governmental authority or regulatory body, is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Indenture, the Notes or the Capped Call Confirmation, except as have been obtained and are in full force and effect under the Securities Act or the Trust Indenture Act and as may be required under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in the United States in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes.

 

6.                                       The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “ Trust Indenture Act ”).

Dear Sirs:

 

The undersigned, a stockholder and an officer and/or director of Theravance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), understands that Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company providing for the public offering of the Company’s Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “Securities”).  The Securities will be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”).  In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder and an officer and/or director of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each underwriter to be named in the Underwriting Agreement that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 90 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-Up Securities, or file, or cause to be filed, any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, or (iii) with the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch, provided , however , that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), no party, including the undersigned, shall (a) be required to, nor shall it voluntarily, file a report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period) or (b) otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing, report or announcement of such transfer.  For purposes of this agreement, “immediate

family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.  In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the undersigned is a corporation, the corporation may transfer the capital stock of the Company to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such corporation; provided , however , that in any such case, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding such capital stock subject to the provisions of this agreement and there shall be no further transfer of such capital stock except in accordance with this agreement, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value.  Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer or sell Common Stock pursuant to any contract, instruction or plan complying with Rule 10b5-1 (a “10b5-1 Plan”) of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated under the Exchange Act, that has been entered into by the undersigned prior to the date of this agreement and disclosed to Merrill Lynch (an “Existing 10b5-1 Plan”), enter into a new 10b5-1 Plan after the date of this agreement (a “New 10b5-1 Plan”) or transfer or sell Common Stock pursuant to such New 10b5-1 Plan; provided that such New 10b5-1 Plan does not permit transfers or sales of Common Stock, and no transfers or sales of Common Stock pursuant to such plan occur, until on or after the expiration of this agreement; and provided , further , that no party, including the undersigned, shall (a) be required to, nor shall it voluntarily, file a report under the Exchange Act in connection with the entry into a New 10b5-1 Plan or (b) otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing, report or announcement of the entry into a New 10b51-1 Plan.  Furthermore, the undersigned may surrender shares of Common Stock to the Company upon the vesting or settlement of any restricted stock unit of the Company (“RSU”) or any restricted stock award of the Company (“RSA”)  held by the undersigned, provided that such surrender is solely for the purpose of covering the undersigned’s tax liability in connection with the vesting or settlement of such RSU or RSA pursuant to a stock withholding program approved by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors prior to the date of this Lock-Up Agreement.

 

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

 

This lock-up letter shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (a) the date that the Company advises Merrill Lynch, in writing, prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the offering, or (b) termination of the Underwriting Agreement before the closing of the public offering of the Securities.

Re:

Base Capped Call Transaction

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The purpose of this communication (this “ Confirmation ”) is to set forth the terms and conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into on the Trade Date specified below (the “ Transaction ”) between Bank of America, N.A. (“ BofA ”) and Theravance, Inc. (“ Counterparty ”).  This communication constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below.

 

1.               This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and provisions of the 2000 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the “ 2000 Definitions ”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ”, and together with the 2000 Definitions, the “ Definitions ”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ ISDA ”).  In the event of any inconsistency between the 2000 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern.  Certain defined terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture to be dated as of January 24, 2013 between Counterparty and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “ Indenture ”) relating to the USD 250,000,000 principal amount of 2.125% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the “ Convertible Securities ”).  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.  For the avoidance of doubt, references herein to sections of the Indenture are based on the draft of the Indenture most recently reviewed by the parties at the time of execution of this Confirmation. If any relevant sections of the Indenture are changed, added or renumbered following execution of this Confirmation but prior to the execution of the Indenture, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the economic intent of the parties based on the draft of the Indenture so reviewed.  The parties further acknowledge that references to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution and if the Indenture is amended following its execution, any such amendment will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation (other than as provided in Section 8(a) below) unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

 

This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between BofA and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates.  This Confirmation shall be subject to an agreement (the “ Agreement ”) in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “ ISDA Form ”) as if BofA and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (without any Schedule but with the elections set forth in this Confirmation).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall be the only transaction under the Agreement.

 

All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference to, the Agreement will govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified herein.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Confirmation and either the Definitions or the Agreement, this Confirmation shall govern.

Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

 

 

 

Consequences of Disrupted Days:

 

If a Disrupted Day occurs during the Conversion Reference Period, the Calculation Agent may extend the Conversion Reference Period; provided that if the Conversion Reference Period would otherwise be extended beyond the eighth Scheduled Trading Day following the “Final Maturity Date” (as defined in the Indenture) on account of any Market Disruption Event, BofA may elect in its discretion that such eighth Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be a Trading Day notwithstanding such Market Disruption Event, in which case the Relevant Price on such Scheduled Trading Day shall be the market value per Share as determined by

 

4



 

 

 

the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. If any Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day because of a Market Disruption Event, the Calculation Agent shall determine whether (i) such Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day in full or (ii) such Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Relevant Price for such Scheduled Trading Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on transactions in the Shares on such Scheduled Trading Day taking into account the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event, and the Daily Share Numbers for the Trading Days in such Conversion Reference Period shall be adjusted in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent. Any Scheduled Trading Day on which, as of the date hereof, the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed not to be a Scheduled Trading Day; if a closure of the Exchange prior to its normal close of trading on any Scheduled Trading Day is scheduled following the date hereof, then such Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full.

The Relevant Price will be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours.

 

 

 

Settlement Date:

 

The date three “Business Days” (as defined in the Indenture) following the final Scheduled Trading Day of the Conversion Reference Period; provided that the Settlement Date will not be prior to the second Exchange Business Day immediately following the date Counterparty provides the Notice of Exercise prior to 5:00 PM, New York City time.

The 90 consecutive Trading Days beginning on, and including, the 92 nd  Scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the “Final Maturity Date” (as defined in the Indenture), subject to “Consequences of Disrupted Days” above.

 

 

 

Other Applicable Provisions:

 

To the extent BofA is obligated to deliver Shares hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.10 and 9.11 (except that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising as a result of the fact that Counterparty is the Issuer of the Shares) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable as if “Physical Settlement” applied to the Transaction.

 

 

 

Restricted Certificated Shares:

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions,

 

5



 

 

 

BofA may, in whole or in part, deliver Shares required to be delivered to Counterparty hereunder in certificated form in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System. With respect to such certificated Shares, the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by deleting the remainder of the provision after the word “encumbrance” in the fourth line thereof.

 

Share Adjustments:

 

Method of Adjustment:

 

Notwithstanding Section 11.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in Section 4.06(a) of the Indenture that results in an adjustment under the Indenture (any such event or condition, an “ Adjustment Event ”), the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to the terms relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction and shall adjust the Cap Price as appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Adjustment Event; provided that the Cap Price shall not be adjusted so that it is less than the Strike Price; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Calculation Agent in good faith disagrees with any adjustment under the Indenture that involves an exercise of discretion by Counterparty or its board of directors (including, without limitation, pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4.06(a) of the Indenture or in connection with any proportional adjustment or the determination of the fair value of any securities, property, rights or other assets), then in each such case, the Calculation Agent will determine the adjustment to be made to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner.  Promptly following the occurrence of any Adjustment Event, Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of such Adjustment Event; and once the adjustments to be made to the terms of the Indenture and the Convertible Securities in respect of such Adjustment Event have been determined, Counterparty shall promptly notify the Calculation Agent in writing of the details of such adjustments.  For the avoidance of doubt, BofA shall not have any delivery obligation hereunder in respect of any “Distributed Securities” delivered by Counterparty pursuant to the first sentence of the third paragraph of Section 4.06(a)(iii) of the Indenture or any payment obligation in respect of any cash paid by Counterparty pursuant to the second sentence of the second paragraph of Section 4.06(a)(v) of the Indenture (collectively, the “ Conversion Rate Adjustment Fallback Provisions ”), and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction on account of any event or condition described in the Conversion Rate Adjustment Fallback Provisions.

 

Extraordinary Events:

 

Merger Events:

 

Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions, a “Merger Event” means the occurrence of any “Business Combination” (as defined in the Indenture).

 

 

 

Consequences of Merger Events and Tender Offer:

 


Notwithstanding Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of the Equity Definitions, (i) upon the occurrence of a Merger Event that results in an adjustment under the Indenture, the Calculation Agent shall make a

 

6



 

 

 

corresponding adjustment to the terms relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction; provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.01(e) or Section 4.12 of the Indenture; and provided further that the Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment referenced in this clause (i) so that the fair value of the Transaction to BofA (taking into account a commercially reasonable hedge position) is not adversely affected as a result of such adjustment; and provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event, (A) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (B) the Counterparty to the Transaction following such Merger Event will not be a corporation or will not be the Issuer following such Merger Event, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at BofA’s sole discretion; and (ii) in such event or in the event of a Tender Offer, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the Cap Price as appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such event; provided that the Cap Price shall not be adjusted so that it is less than the Strike Price.

 

 

 

Consequences of Announcement Events:

 


Upon the occurrence of an Announcement Event, the Calculation Agent will adjust the Cap Price as appropriate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, increasing the Cap Price as a result of an event such as the one described in part (iii) of the definition of Announcement Event below, if appropriate), to preserve the fair value of the Transaction to BofA.

 

 

 

Announcement Event:

 

(i) The public announcement of any Merger Event or Tender Offer or the intention to enter into a Merger Event or Tender Offer, (ii) the public announcement by Counterparty of an intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, a Merger Event or Tender Offer or (iii) any subsequent public announcement of a change to or cancellation or termination of a transaction or intention that is the subject of an announcement of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence (in each case, whether such announcement is made by Counterparty or a third party, so long as, in each case, such announcement relates to a transaction with respect to which (x) the Issuer or its board of directors is recommending to its shareholders that they approve the relevant Merger Event or participate in the relevant Tender Offer, as the case may be or (y) the Issuer or its board of directors has a legal obligation to make a recommendation to its shareholders and does not recommend to its shareholders that they reject such transaction prior to the first Trading Day in the Conversion Reference Period or any earlier date of termination or cancellation, in whole or in part, of the Transaction).

 

 

 

Notice of Merger Consideration:

 

Upon the occurrence of a Merger Event that causes the Shares to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of

 

7



 

 

 

stockholder election), Counterparty shall reasonably promptly (but, in any event prior to the effective time of such Merger Event) notify the Calculation Agent of (i) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Shares entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Shares in any Merger Event who affirmatively make such an election and (ii) the details of the adjustment made under the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event.

 

 

 

Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting:

(ii)                     During (x) the Conversion Reference Period and (y) in the event an Early Termination Date is designated due to an Additional Termination Event as a result of an Excluded Conversion Event, a period starting on or about such Early Termination Date as reasonably determined by Dealer and notified to Counterparty (an “ Early Termination Period ”), the Shares or securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Shares will not be subject to a “restricted period,” as such term is defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“ Regulation M ”).

 

(iii)                  On the Trade Date and on each day during the Conversion Reference Period and any Early Termination Period, neither Counterparty nor any “affiliate” or “affiliated purchaser” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (“ Rule 10b-18 ”)) shall directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of any cash-settled or other derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or an equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, except through BofA.

 

(iv)                 Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that BofA is not making any representations or warranties or taking any position or expressing any view with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share , ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , or ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.

For the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable in respect of such Affected Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement in connection with a Fundamental Change Repurchase Event, the Determining Party (as defined in the Agreement) shall assume that (x) the Convertible Securities repurchased in such Fundamental Change Repurchase Event shall not have been repurchased and remain outstanding and (y) no adjustments to the “Conversion Rate” (as defined in the Indenture) have occurred pursuant to Section 4.01(e) of the Indenture.

(c)           Disposition of Hedge Shares .  Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of BofA based on the advice of counsel, any Shares (the “ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by BofA for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by BofA without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow BofA to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to BofA an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to BofA, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to BofA, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and (E) afford BofA a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however , that if BofA, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section 8(c) shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow BofA to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to BofA, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to BofA, due diligence rights (for BofA or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from BofA), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to BofA (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate BofA for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from BofA at the Relevant Prices on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by BofA.

 

(d)          Amendment to Equity Definitions .  The following amendment shall be made to the Equity Definitions:

 

Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at BofA’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii) (1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.”

 

(e)           Repurchase and Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices .  Counterparty shall notify BofA (any such notice, a “ Repurchase/Adjustment Notice ”) promptly following any repurchase of Shares or consummating or otherwise executing or engaging in any transaction or event (a “ Conversion Rate Adjustment Event ”) that would lead to an increase in the “Conversion Rate” (as such term is defined in the Indenture) if, following such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event, the Notice Percentage as determined on the date of such Repurchase/Adjustment Notice will be greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase/Adjustment Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase/Adjustment Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof (calculated as if any Other Capped Call Confirmation

 

15



 

(as defined below) had been entered into as of such date)), and, if such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event, or the intention to effect the same, would constitute material non-public information with respect to Counterparty or the Shares, Counterparty shall make public disclosure thereof at or prior to delivery of such Repurchase/Adjustment Notice.  The “ Notice Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the sum of the Number of Shares and the “Number of Shares” under any confirmation (an “ Other Capped Call Confirmation ”), substantially similar to this Confirmation (except for the “Trade Date,” “Effective Date” and “Number of Options” thereunder), entered into by the parties hereto within 30 days of the Trade Date and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.  In the event that Counterparty fails to provide BofA with a Repurchase/Adjustment Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this Section 8(e) then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BofA, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (BofA and each such person being an “ Indemnified Party ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure.  If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability.  In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty.  This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of BofA.

 

(f)            Transfer and Assignment .  Either party may transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction with the prior written consent of the non-transferring party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, BofA may condition its consent on any of the following, without limitation: (i) the receipt by BofA of opinions and documents reasonably satisfactory to BofA in connection with such assignment, (ii) such assignment being effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to BofA with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to BofA, and (iii) Counterparty continuing to be obligated to provide notices hereunder relating to the Convertible Securities and continuing to be obligated with respect to “Disposition of Hedge Shares” and “Repurchase and Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices” above.  In addition, BofA may transfer or assign without any consent of the Counterparty its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to (i) any of its affiliates, (ii) any entities sponsored or organized by, or on behalf of or for the benefit of BofA or (iii) any person of credit quality equivalent to BofA.  At any time at which any Excess Ownership Position or a Hedging Disruption exists, if BofA, in its discretion, is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party in accordance with the requirements set forth above after using its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to BofA such that an Excess Ownership Position or a Hedging Disruption, as the case may be, no longer exists, BofA may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “ Terminated Portion ”) of the Transaction, such that such Excess Ownership Position or Hedging Disruption, as the case may be, no longer exists. In the event that BofA so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement and Section 8(b) of this Confirmation as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion of the Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. “ Excess Ownership Position ” means any of the following: (i) the Equity Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (ii) BofA or any “affiliate” or “associate” of BofA would own in excess of 13% of the outstanding Shares for purposes of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iii) BofA, BofA Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of BofA or BofA Group (BofA, BofA Group or any such person, a “ BofA Person ”) under any federal, state or local laws, regulations, regulatory orders or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Laws ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a

 

16



 

number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a BofA Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a BofA Person, under Applicable Laws, as determined by BofA in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received or that would give rise to any consequences under the constitutive documents of Counterparty or any contract or agreement to which Counterparty is a party, in each case minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination.  The “ Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that BofA and any of its affiliates or any other person subject to aggregation with BofA, for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13) of which BofA is or may be deemed to be a part (BofA and any such affiliates, persons and groups, collectively, “ BofA Group ”) beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that, as a result of a change in law, regulation or interpretation after the date hereof, the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

 

(g)           Staggered Settlement .  BofA may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date (a “ Nominal Settlement Date ”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a “ Staggered Settlement Date ”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows:

 

(i)                        in such notice, BofA will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date, but not prior to the beginning of the Conversion Reference Period) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under “Net Share Settlement” (above) among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and

 

(ii)                     the aggregate number of Shares that BofA will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that BofA would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.

 

(h)          Right to Extend .  BofA may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Trading Day or Days during the Conversion Reference Period or any Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery by BofA, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the number of Net Shares), if BofA determines, in its reasonable discretion and in the case of (ii) below, based on advice of counsel, that such extension is reasonably necessary or advisable to (i) preserve BofA’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock loan market or any other relevant market (but only if there has been a material decline in such liquidity conditions since the Trade Date) or (ii) enable BofA to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if BofA were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to BofA.

 

(i)              Adjustments .  For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the Calculation Agent is called upon to make an adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation or the Definitions to take into account the effect of an event, the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustment by reference to the effect of such event on the Hedging Party, assuming that the Hedging Party maintains a commercially reasonable hedge position.

 

(j)             Disclosure .  Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

(k)          Designation by BofA .  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing BofA to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, BofA may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other

 

17



 

securities and otherwise to perform BofA obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations.  BofA shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

(l)              No Netting and Set-off .  Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set off obligations arising under the Agreement and the Transaction against other obligations between the parties, whether arising under any other agreement, applicable law or otherwise.

 

(m)      Equity Rights .  BofA acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the preceding sentence shall not apply at any time other than during Counterparty’s bankruptcy to any claim arising as a result of a breach by Counterparty of any of its obligations under this Confirmation or the Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is not secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein under or pursuant to any other agreement.

 

(n)          Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging . Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the final Settlement Date, BofA and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) BofA and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) BofA shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Counterparty shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of BofA and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.

 

(o)          Early Unwind .  In the event the sale by Counterparty of the “Initial Securities” (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New York on January 24, 2013 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties, which in no event shall be later than the tenth “Business Day” (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) thereafter) (January 24, 2013 or such later date being the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of BofA and Counterparty thereunder shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) Counterparty shall pay to BofA an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of reasonable costs and expenses relating to the unwinding of BofA’s hedging activities in respect of the Transaction (including market losses incurred in reselling any Shares purchased by BofA or its affiliates in connection with such hedging activities).  Following such termination, cancellation and payment, each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of either party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date.  BofA and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that upon an Early Unwind and following the payment referred to above, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

 

(p)          Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 .  The parties hereby agree that none of (v) Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“ WSTAA ”), (w) any similar legal certainty provision in any legislation enacted, or rule or regulation promulgated, on or after the Trade Date, (x) the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, (y) any requirement under WSTAA nor (z) an amendment made by WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from Change in Law, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, an Excess Ownership Position or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

 

18



 

(q)          No Payment by Counterparty . In the event that, following payment of the Premium, (i) an Early Termination Date occurs or is designated with respect to the Transaction as a result of a Termination Event or an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 5(a)(ii) or 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement) and, as a result, Counterparty would otherwise owe to BofA an amount calculated under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, or (ii) Counterparty would otherwise owe to BofA, pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions, an amount calculated under Section 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, such amount shall be deemed to be zero.

 

(r)             Waiver of Trial by Jury EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND BOFA HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF BOFA OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF .

19



 

Counterparty hereby agrees (a) to check this Confirmation carefully and immediately upon receipt so that errors or discrepancies can be promptly identified and rectified and (b) to confirm that the foregoing (in the exact form provided by BofA) correctly sets forth the terms of the agreement between BofA and Counterparty with respect to the Transaction, by manually signing this Confirmation or this page hereof as evidence of agreement to such terms and providing the other information requested herein and immediately returning an executed copy to John Servidio, Facsimile No. 704-208-2869.

Re:

Additional Capped Call Transaction

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The purpose of this communication (this “ Confirmation ”) is to set forth the terms and conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into on the Trade Date specified below (the “ Transaction ”) between Bank of America, N.A. (“ BofA ”) and Theravance, Inc. (“ Counterparty ”).  This communication constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below.

 

1.               This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and provisions of the 2000 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the “ 2000 Definitions ”) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ”, and together with the 2000 Definitions, the “ Definitions ”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ ISDA ”).  In the event of any inconsistency between the 2000 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern.  Certain defined terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture to be dated as of January 24, 2013 between Counterparty and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “ Indenture ”) relating to the USD 250,000,000 principal amount of 2.125% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 and the additional USD 37,500,000 principal amount of 2.125% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 issued pursuant to the over-allotment option exercised on the date hereof (the “ Convertible Securities ”).  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Indenture and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.  For the avoidance of doubt, references herein to sections of the Indenture are based on the draft of the Indenture most recently reviewed by the parties at the time of execution of this Confirmation. If any relevant sections of the Indenture are changed, added or renumbered following execution of this Confirmation but prior to the execution of the Indenture, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the economic intent of the parties based on the draft of the Indenture so reviewed.  The parties further acknowledge that references to the Indenture herein are references to the Indenture as in effect on the date of its execution and if the Indenture is amended following its execution, any such amendment will be disregarded for purposes of this Confirmation (other than as provided in Section 8(a) below) unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

 

This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between BofA and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates.  This Confirmation shall be subject to an agreement (the “ Agreement ”) in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “ ISDA Form ”) as if BofA and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (without any Schedule but with the elections set forth in this Confirmation).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall be the only transaction under the Agreement.

 



 

All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference to, the Agreement will govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified herein.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Confirmation and either the Definitions or the Agreement, this Confirmation shall govern.

3



 

 

 

the Calculation Agent may make appropriate adjustments to reflect any additional losses, costs or expenses actually incurred by BofA as a result of BofA receiving the notice after the Exercise Notice Deadline. For the avoidance of doubt, if Counterparty fails to deliver a Notice of Exercise prior to the Extended Exercise Notice Deadline in respect of any exercise of Options hereunder, BofA’s obligation to make any payment or delivery in respect of such exercise shall be permanently extinguished, and delivery of a Notice of Exercise following such Extended Exercise Notice Deadline shall not cure such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of Options that are exercised or deemed exercised hereunder exceed the Number of Options.

 

 

 

BofA’s Telephone Number and Telex and/or Facsimile Number and Contact Details for purpose of Giving Notice:

 

 

 

To be provided by BofA.

 

 

 

Settlement Terms:

 

 

 

 

 

Settlement Method:

 

Net Share Settlement

 

 

 

Net Share Settlement:

 

BofA will deliver to Counterparty, on the Settlement Date, a number of Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Net Shares multiplied by (ii) the number of Options validly exercised or deemed exercised hereunder.

 

 

 

 

 

On the Settlement Date, BofA will pay to Counterparty cash in lieu of any fractional Share that would otherwise be deliverable hereunder, valued at the Relevant Price for the last Trading Day of the Conversion Reference Period.

 

 

 

Net Shares:

 

In respect of any Option validly exercised or deemed exercised relating to any conversion of a Convertible Security, a number of Shares equal to the sum of the quotients, for each Trading Day during the Conversion Reference Period, of (I) (A) the quotient (the “ Daily Share Number ”) of (1) the Option Entitlement on such Trading Day divided by (2) the number of Scheduled Trading Days in the Conversion Reference Period multiplied by (B) (1) the amount by which the Cap Price exceeds the Strike Price, if the Relevant Price on such Trading Day is equal to or greater than the Cap Price, (2) the amount by which the Relevant Price on such Trading Day exceeds the Strike Price, if such Relevant Price is greater than the Strike Price but less than the Cap Price or (3) zero, if the Relevant Price on such Trading Day is less than or equal to the Strike Price, divided by (II) such Relevant Price, subject to “Consequences of Disrupted Days” below; provided that the aggregate number of Net Shares for any Convertible Security shall not exceed the quotient of the Applicable Limit divided by the Applicable Limit Price for such Convertible Security.

 

 

 

Applicable Limit:

 

With respect to any conversion of a Convertible Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the number of Shares delivered by Counterparty to the holder of such Convertible Security, multiplied by (b) the Applicable Limit Price over (ii) USD 1,000.

 

4



 

Applicable Limit Price:

 

With respect to any conversion of a Convertible Security, the opening price as displayed under the heading “Op” on Bloomberg page THRX <equity> (or any successor thereto) on the date that Counterparty delivers Shares to the holder of such Convertible Security.

 

 

 

Trading Day:

 

Any Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day in full.

 

 

 

Market Disruption Event:

 

Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by deleting the words “at any time during the one hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be”.

 

 

 

 

 

Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

 

 

 

Consequences of Disrupted Days:

 

If a Disrupted Day occurs during the Conversion Reference Period, the Calculation Agent may extend the Conversion Reference Period; provided that if the Conversion Reference Period would otherwise be extended beyond the eighth Scheduled Trading Day following the “Final Maturity Date” (as defined in the Indenture) on account of any Market Disruption Event, BofA may elect in its discretion that such eighth Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be a Trading Day notwithstanding such Market Disruption Event, in which case the Relevant Price on such Scheduled Trading Day shall be the market value per Share as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. If any Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day because of a Market Disruption Event, the Calculation Agent shall determine whether (i) such Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day in full or (ii) such Scheduled Trading Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Relevant Price for such Scheduled Trading Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on transactions in the Shares on such Scheduled Trading Day taking into account the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event, and the Daily Share Numbers for the Trading Days in such Conversion Reference Period shall be adjusted in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent. Any Scheduled Trading Day on which, as of the date hereof, the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed not to be a Scheduled Trading Day; if a closure of the Exchange prior to its normal close of trading on any Scheduled Trading Day is scheduled following the date hereof, then such Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full. Section 6.6 of the Equity Definitions shall not apply to the Transaction.

5



 

 

 

Calculation Agent using, if practicable, a volume-weighted average method), subject to “Consequences of Disrupted Days” above. The Relevant Price will be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours.

 

 

 

Settlement Date:

 

The date three “Business Days” (as defined in the Indenture) following the final Scheduled Trading Day of the Conversion Reference Period; provided that the Settlement Date will not be prior to the second Exchange Business Day immediately following the date Counterparty provides the Notice of Exercise prior to 5:00 PM, New York City time.

 

 

 

Conversion Reference Period:

 

The 90 consecutive Trading Days beginning on, and including, the 92 nd  Scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the “Final Maturity Date” (as defined in the Indenture), subject to “Consequences of Disrupted Days” above.

 

 

 

Other Applicable Provisions:

Restricted Certificated Shares:

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, BofA may, in whole or in part, deliver Shares required to be delivered to Counterparty hereunder in certificated form in lieu of delivery through the Clearance System. With respect to such certificated Shares, the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by deleting the remainder of the provision after the word “encumbrance” in the fourth line thereof.

 

 

 

Share Adjustments:

 

 

 

 

 

Method of Adjustment:

 

Notwithstanding Section 11.2 of the Equity Definitions, upon the occurrence of any event or condition set forth in Section 4.06(a) of the Indenture that results in an adjustment under the Indenture (any such event or condition, an “ Adjustment Event ”), the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to the terms relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction and shall adjust the Cap Price as appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Adjustment Event; provided that the Cap Price shall not be adjusted so that it is less than the Strike Price; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Calculation Agent in good faith disagrees with any adjustment under the Indenture that involves an exercise of discretion by Counterparty or its board of directors (including, without limitation, pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4.06(a) of the Indenture or in connection with any proportional adjustment or the determination of the fair value of any securities, property, rights or other assets), then in each such case, the Calculation Agent will determine the adjustment to be made to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the

Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner. Promptly following the occurrence of any Adjustment Event, Counterparty shall notify the Calculation Agent of such Adjustment Event; and once the adjustments to be made to the terms of the Indenture and the Convertible Securities in respect of such Adjustment Event have been determined, Counterparty shall promptly notify the Calculation Agent in writing of the details of such adjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, BofA shall not have any delivery obligation hereunder in respect of any “Distributed Securities” delivered by Counterparty pursuant to the first sentence of the third paragraph of Section 4.06(a)(iii) of the Indenture or any payment obligation in respect of any cash paid by Counterparty pursuant to the second sentence of the second paragraph of Section 4.06(a)(v) of the Indenture (collectively, the “ Conversion Rate Adjustment Fallback Provisions ”), and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction on account of any event or condition described in the Conversion Rate Adjustment Fallback Provisions.

Notwithstanding Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of the Equity Definitions, (i) upon the occurrence of a Merger Event that results in an adjustment under the Indenture, the Calculation Agent shall make a corresponding adjustment to the terms relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction; provided that such adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.01(e) or Section 4.12 of the Indenture; and provided further that the Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment referenced in this clause (i) so that the fair value of the Transaction to BofA (taking into account a commercially reasonable hedge position) is not adversely affected as a result of such adjustment; and provided further that if, with respect to a Merger Event, (A) the consideration for the Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (B) the Counterparty to the Transaction following such Merger Event will not be a corporation or will not be the Issuer following such Merger Event, Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at BofA’s sole discretion; and (ii) in such event or in the event of a Tender Offer, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the Cap Price as appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such event; provided that the Cap Price shall not be adjusted so that it is less than the Strike Price.

 

 

 

Consequences of Announcement Events:

 

 

Upon the occurrence of an Announcement Event, the Calculation Agent will adjust the Cap Price as appropriate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, increasing the Cap Price as a result of an event such as the one described in part (iii) of the definition of Announcement Event below, if appropriate), to preserve the fair value of the Transaction to BofA.

Notice of Merger Consideration:

 

Upon the occurrence of a Merger Event that causes the Shares to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), Counterparty shall reasonably promptly (but, in any event prior to the effective time of such Merger Event) notify the Calculation Agent of (i) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Shares entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Shares in any Merger Event who affirmatively make such an election and (ii) the details of the adjustment made under the Indenture in respect of such Merger Event.

(c)           Disposition of Hedge Shares .  Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of BofA based on the advice of counsel, any Shares (the “ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by BofA for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by BofA without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow BofA to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to BofA an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to BofA, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities, (C) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to BofA, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and (E) afford BofA a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however , that if BofA, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section 8(c) shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow BofA to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to BofA, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to BofA, due diligence rights (for BofA or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from BofA), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to BofA (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate BofA for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from BofA at the Relevant Prices on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by BofA.

 

15



 

(d)          Amendment to Equity Definitions .  The following amendment shall be made to the Equity Definitions:

 

Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at BofA’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii) (1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.”

 

(e)           Repurchase and Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices .  Counterparty shall notify BofA (any such notice, a “ Repurchase/Adjustment Notice ”) promptly following any repurchase of Shares or consummating or otherwise executing or engaging in any transaction or event (a “ Conversion Rate Adjustment Event ”) that would lead to an increase in the “Conversion Rate” (as such term is defined in the Indenture) if, following such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event, the Notice Percentage as determined on the date of such Repurchase/Adjustment Notice will be greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase/Adjustment Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase/Adjustment Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of January 17, 2013 (calculated as if this Confirmation had been entered into as of such date)), and, if such repurchase or Conversion Rate Adjustment Event, or the intention to effect the same, would constitute material non-public information with respect to Counterparty or the Shares, Counterparty shall make public disclosure thereof at or prior to delivery of such Repurchase/Adjustment Notice.  The “ Notice Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the sum of the Number of Shares and the “Number of Shares” under the Base Capped Call Transaction Confirmation and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.  In the event that Counterparty fails to provide BofA with a Repurchase/Adjustment Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this Section 8(e) then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BofA, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (BofA and each such person being an “ Indemnified Party ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure.  If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability.  In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty.  This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of BofA.

 

(f)            Transfer and Assignment .  Either party may transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction with the prior written consent of the non-transferring party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, BofA may condition its consent on any of the following, without limitation: (i) the receipt by BofA of opinions and documents reasonably satisfactory to BofA in connection with such assignment, (ii) such assignment being effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to BofA with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to BofA, and (iii) Counterparty continuing to be obligated to provide notices hereunder relating to the Convertible Securities and continuing to be obligated with respect to “Disposition of Hedge Shares” and “Repurchase and Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices” above.  In addition, BofA may transfer or assign without any consent of the Counterparty its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to (i) any of its affiliates, (ii) any entities sponsored or organized by, or on behalf of or for the benefit of BofA or (iii) any person of credit quality equivalent to BofA.  At any time at which any Excess Ownership Position or a Hedging Disruption exists, if BofA, in its discretion, is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party in accordance with the requirements set forth above after using its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to BofA such that an Excess Ownership Position or a Hedging Disruption, as the case may be, no longer exists,

 

16



 

BofA may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “ Terminated Portion ”) of the Transaction, such that such Excess Ownership Position or Hedging Disruption, as the case may be, no longer exists. In the event that BofA so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement and Section 8(b) of this Confirmation as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion of the Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. “ Excess Ownership Position ” means any of the following: (i) the Equity Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (ii) BofA or any “affiliate” or “associate” of BofA would own in excess of 13% of the outstanding Shares for purposes of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iii) BofA, BofA Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of BofA or BofA Group (BofA, BofA Group or any such person, a “ BofA Person ”) under any federal, state or local laws, regulations, regulatory orders or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“ Applicable Laws ”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a BofA Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a BofA Person, under Applicable Laws, as determined by BofA in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received or that would give rise to any consequences under the constitutive documents of Counterparty or any contract or agreement to which Counterparty is a party, in each case minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination.  The “ Equity Percentage ” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that BofA and any of its affiliates or any other person subject to aggregation with BofA, for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13) of which BofA is or may be deemed to be a part (BofA and any such affiliates, persons and groups, collectively, “ BofA Group ”) beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that, as a result of a change in law, regulation or interpretation after the date hereof, the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

 

(g)           Staggered Settlement .  BofA may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date (a “ Nominal Settlement Date ”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a “ Staggered Settlement Date ”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows:

 

(i)                        in such notice, BofA will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date, but not prior to the beginning of the Conversion Reference Period) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver under “Net Share Settlement” (above) among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; and

 

(ii)                      the aggregate number of Shares that BofA will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that BofA would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date.

 

(h)          Right to Extend .  BofA may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Trading Day or Days during the Conversion Reference Period or any Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery by BofA, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the number of Net Shares), if BofA determines, in its reasonable discretion and in the case of (ii) below, based on advice of counsel, that such extension is reasonably necessary or advisable to (i) preserve BofA’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock loan market or any other relevant market (but only if there has been a material decline in such liquidity conditions since the Trade Date) or (ii) enable BofA to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if BofA were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to BofA.

 

17



 

(i)              Adjustments .  For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the Calculation Agent is called upon to make an adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Confirmation or the Definitions to take into account the effect of an event, the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustment by reference to the effect of such event on the Hedging Party, assuming that the Hedging Party maintains a commercially reasonable hedge position.

 

(j)             Disclosure .  Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

(k)          Designation by BofA .  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing BofA to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, BofA may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform BofA obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations.  BofA shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

 

(l)              No Netting and Set-off .  Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set off obligations arising under the Agreement and the Transaction against other obligations between the parties, whether arising under any other agreement, applicable law or otherwise.

 

(m)      Equity Rights .  BofA acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the preceding sentence shall not apply at any time other than during Counterparty’s bankruptcy to any claim arising as a result of a breach by Counterparty of any of its obligations under this Confirmation or the Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is not secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein under or pursuant to any other agreement.

 

(n)          Agreements and Acknowledgements Regarding Hedging . Counterparty understands, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) at any time on and prior to the final Settlement Date, BofA and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to adjust its hedge position with respect to the Transaction; (B) BofA and its affiliates also may be active in the market for Shares other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction; (C) BofA shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in securities of Counterparty shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Relevant Prices; and (D) any market activities of BofA and its affiliates with respect to Shares may affect the market price and volatility of Shares, as well as the Relevant Prices, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty.

 

(o)          Early Unwind .  In the event the sale by Counterparty of the Option Securities (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) is not consummated with the underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement for any reason by the close of business in New York on January 24, 2013 (or such later date as agreed upon by the parties, which in no event shall be later than the tenth “Business Day” (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) thereafter) (January 24, 2013 or such later date being the “ Early Unwind Date ”), the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “ Early Unwind ”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of BofA and Counterparty thereunder shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) Counterparty shall pay to BofA an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of reasonable costs and expenses relating to the unwinding of BofA’s hedging activities in respect of the Transaction (including market losses incurred in reselling any Shares purchased by BofA or its affiliates in connection with such hedging activities).  Following such termination, cancellation and payment, each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of either party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date.  BofA and Counterparty represent and acknowledge to the other that upon an Early Unwind and following the payment referred to above, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

PRESS RELEASE

 

THERAVANCE ANNOUNCES PRICING OF CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED

 

NOTES OFFERING

 

Company has also entered into Capped Call Transactions in connection with the Notes Offering

 

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA. — January 17, 2013 — Theravance, Inc. (NASDAQ: THRX) (the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company with a pipeline of internally discovered product candidates and strategic collaborations with pharmaceutical companies, announced the pricing of $250 million aggregate principal amount of 2.125% convertible subordinated notes due 2023 (the “notes”) in an underwritten public offering. The Company has also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to $37.5 million aggregate principal amount of additional notes. The offering is scheduled to close on Thursday, January 24, 2013, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. BofA Merrill Lynch is acting as the sole book-running manager for the offering.

 

The notes will pay interest semiannually at a rate of 2.125% per annum. The notes will be convertible at the option of the holders, at any time on or prior to the second business day preceding the maturity date, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 35.9903 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $27.79 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The initial conversion price represents a conversion premium of approximately 32.5% over the last reported sale price of $20.97 per share of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on January 17, 2013.

 

In connection with the offering of the notes, the Company has also entered into privately-negotiated capped call option transactions with one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates (“hedge counterparties”).  The cost of the capped call options will be $32.0 million.  The cap price of the capped call options will initially be $38.00 per share, which represents approximately an 81.2% premium to the closing price of the Company’s common stock price on January 17, 2013. The capped call options are expected generally to reduce the potential

 



 

dilution upon conversion of the notes in the event that the market price of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the notes, and is expected to be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.  However, if the market price of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, the anti-dilutive effect of the capped call transactions will be limited .

 

For any conversions of notes prior to the close of business of the 95 th  scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, including without limitation upon an acquisition of the Company or similar business combination, a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions will be terminated.  Upon such termination, the portion of the capped call transactions being terminated will be settled at fair value (subject to certain limitations), which the Company expects to receive from the hedge counterparties, and no payments will be due to the hedge counterparties.

 

The Company has been advised that, in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the hedge counterparties (or their affiliates) expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock concurrently with, and/or purchase the Company’s common stock shortly after, the pricing of the notes. These activities could have the effect of increasing, or reducing the size of any decrease in, the price of the notes and/or the Company’s common stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes.  In addition, the hedge counterparties (or their affiliates) are likely to modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or by purchasing or selling the Company’s common stock or other of its securities in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity date of the notes (and are likely to do so during a specified averaging period under the capped call transactions preceding the maturity date, and on or around any earlier conversion date related to a conversion of the notes).  The effect, if any, of any of these transactions and activities on the market price of the Company’s common stock or the notes will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time, but any of these activities could adversely affect the value of the Company’s common stock, which could affect the value of the notes and the value of any of the Company’s common stock holders of the notes receive upon any conversion of the notes.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for potential milestone payments to GlaxoSmithKline plc if there is any approval or launch of products under the parties’ long-acting beta 2  agonist (LABA) collaboration, including RELVAR™ or BREO™ (fluticasone furoate/vilanterol), ANORO™ (umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol), or vilanterol, for the potential repayment of debt, and for other general corporate purposes.  The Company also intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to pay for the cost of entering into capped call option transactions with the hedge counterparties.  If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional notes, the Company may enter into additional capped call transactions with the hedge counterparties.

 

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

Company has also entered into Additional Capped Call Transactions in connection with the Additional Notes

 

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA. — January 22, 2013 — Theravance, Inc.

The offering is scheduled to close on Thursday, January 24, 2013, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The capped call options are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the notes in the event that the market price of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the notes, and is expected to be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.  However, if the market price of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds $38.00 per share, which is the initial cap price of the capped call transactions, the anti-dilutive effect of the capped call transactions will be limited .

These statements are based on the current estimates and assumptions of the management of Theravance as of the date of this press release and are subject to risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results of Theravance to be materially different from those reflected in its forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in Theravance’s final prospectus filed with the SEC on January 18, 2013 related to the offering and the risks discussed in the Company’s periodic filings with SEC. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Theravance assumes no obligation to update its forward-looking statements.
