Item 8.01. Other Events.

On October 5, 2015, Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced debt exchange offers (the “Exchange Offers”) to exchange any and all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn 6.05% Notes due 2017 (the “Old 2017 Notes”), 5.20% Notes due 2020 (the “Old 2020 Notes”), 5.80% Notes due 2023 (the “Old 2023 Notes”) and 5.60% Notes due 2040 (the “Old 2040 Notes” and, collectively with the Old 2017 Notes, the Old 2020 Notes and the Old 2023 Notes, the “Hospira Notes”) issued by Hospira, Inc. (“Hospira”), a recently acquired subsidiary of the Company, for new notes issued by the Company (as described below). Pursuant to the Exchange Offers, the aggregate principal amounts of the Hospira Notes set forth below were validly tendered and accepted and subsequently cancelled:

 

  (i) $502,779,000 aggregate principal amount of Old 2017 Notes;

 

  (ii) $329,916,000 aggregate principal amount of Old 2020 Notes;

 

  (iii) $342,017,000 aggregate principal amount of Old 2023 Notes; and

 

  (iv) $494,769,000 aggregate principal amount of Old 2040 Notes.

Following such cancellation, $80,519,000 aggregate principal amount of Hospira Notes remain outstanding across the four series.

In connection with the Exchange Offers, the Company also solicited consents from holders of the Hospira Notes to amend (the “Proposed Amendments”) the indenture governing the Hospira Notes and the Hospira Notes to, among other things (1) eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, (2) extend the cure period for certain events of default, (3) change the delivery date of the annual compliance certificate and (4) modify the change of control provisions in the Hospira Notes so that they will no longer apply. Prior to the acceptance for exchange of the tendered Hospira Notes by the Company, Hospira entered into the third supplemental indenture, dated as of October 5, 2015 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), between Hospira and MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (f/k/a Union Bank, N.A.), as trustee, and, with respect to each series of Hospira Notes that remain outstanding after the settlement of the Exchange Offers, amended the indenture governing the Hospira Notes and the Hospira Notes to adopt the Proposed Amendments.

In connection with the settlement of the Exchange Offers, the Company issued (i) $502,754,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.05% Notes due March 30, 2017 (the “2017 Notes”), (ii) $329,737,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.20% Notes due August 12, 2020 (the “2020 Notes”), (iii) $342,004,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.80% Notes due August 12, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) and (iv) $494,769,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.60% Notes due September 15, 2040 (the “2040 Notes” and, together with the 2017 Notes, the 2020 Notes and the 2023 Notes, the “Notes”) in exchange for the validly tendered and accepted Hospira Notes. The Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-206758) which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and became effective on September 25, 2015. The terms of the Notes are further described in the Company’s prospectus dated September 25, 2015, as filed with the SEC under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Act on that date. The issuance of the Notes occurred

 

2


on October 5, 2015. The Notes are unsecured general obligations of the Company and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time outstanding.

The Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture, dated as of January 30, 2001, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of October 5, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”).

The foregoing summary of the Third Supplemental Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Third Supplemental Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, copies of which are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $550,000,000.

At the Company’s option, the Securities of this series may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time and from time to time (each, a “ Redemption Date ”). The redemption price (the “ Redemption Price ”) of the Securities will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:

plus , in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Once notice of redemption is mailed by the Company, the Securities called for redemption will become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price.

Notice of any redemption of the Securities shall be given in the manner and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Indenture; provided , however , that notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register, and that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price, shall state the manner in which such Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of the Securities called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Securities will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest).

Treasury Rate ” means the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the applicable Redemption Date.

In connection with any such redemption, each Reference Treasury Dealer shall deliver the Comparable Treasury Price to the Company and the Independent Investment Banker in writing two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $350,000,000.

At the Company’s option, the Securities of this series may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time and from time to time (each, a “ Redemption Date ”). The redemption price (the “ Redemption Price ”) of the Securities will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed on the applicable Redemption Date, and

(b) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities being redeemed on such Redemption Date (not including the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), as determined by the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), plus 50 basis points;

plus , in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Once notice of redemption is mailed by the Company, the Securities called for redemption will become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price.

Notice of any redemption of the Securities shall be given in the manner and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 1104 of the Indenture; provided , however , that notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register, and that any such notice in lieu of stating the applicable Redemption Price, shall state the manner in which such Redemption Price shall be calculated. If the Company has given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of the Securities called for redemption have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in that notice, such Securities will cease to bear interest on such Redemption Date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest).

Comparable Treasury Price ” means (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the applicable Redemption Date and applicable Securities to be redeemed, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (C) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation ” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date and Securities to be redeemed, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for such Securities (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

Treasury Rate ” means the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the applicable Redemption Date.

In connection with any such redemption, each Reference Treasury Dealer shall deliver the Comparable Treasury Price to the Company and the Independent Investment Banker in writing two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date setting forth the calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption.
