The Amendments to each of the Term Loan Credit Agreements provides that certain voluntary prepayments made at the applicable borrower’s discretion with the net cash proceeds from a disposition or an incurrence of third party indebtedness must be applied to the outstanding loans under all of the Term Loan Credit Agreements on a pro rata basis.

In addition, the Amendments restrict the payment of cash dividends on the common equity of Teva when the Leverage Ratio, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such cash dividend and any other cash dividends since the end of the applicable test period, exceeds 4.75x.

In connection with the Amendments, the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement shall be reduced from $4.5 billion to $3.0 billion.

This description of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by the Amendments, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.5 and incorporated by reference herein.

Settlement Agreement

On January 31, 2018, Teva and Allergan plc (“Allergan”) entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Releases (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides that Allergan will make a one-time payment of $700 million to Teva. Such payment is expected during the first quarter of 2018. Teva expects to use this cash payment for repayment of a portion of its term loan debt.

The Agreement also provides that Teva and Allergan will jointly dismiss the working capital dispute arbitration, as described in Teva’s quarterly report on Form 6-K filed on November 2, 2017, as well as actual or potential claims under the Master Purchase Agreement, dated July 26, 2015, by and between Teva and Allergan, for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant (other than any breach of a post-closing covenant not known as of the date of the Agreement). As reported on an amendment to Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2018 by Allergan, Allergan beneficially owned approximately 68.7 million of Teva’s ordinary shares as of such date, represented by American Depositary Shares, acquired by Allergan as a portion of the consideration in connection with Teva’s acquisition of Actavis Generics from Allergan under the Master Purchase Agreement.

To determine any principal amount outstanding or amount of prepayment for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, (i) all currency conversions shall be determined using the Yen Equivalent on the date that is seven Business Days preceding the prepayment date and (ii) the pro rata prepayment requirement shall be satisfied if the aggregate prepayment of Loans (across all Tranches) shall be no less than such Loans’ ratable percentage of all of the Loans and Existing Term Loans outstanding on such date of determination.

TEVA COMPLETES AMENDMENT TO CREDIT FACILITIES

Jerusalem, Feb. 1 , 2018— Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., (NYSE and TASE: TEVA) today announced amendments to its USD and JPY term loan and revolving credit facilities, providing the company greater flexibility in its financial leverage ratio covenants. The amended leverage ratio covenants in the credit agreements permit a gradual increase in the leverage ratio from 5.0 times currently to 5.9 times at Q3 and Q4 2018, gradually declining to 3.5 times by December 31, 2021.

Michael McClellan, EVP and Chief Financial Officer of Teva, stated: “We are pleased to have the continued support of our lenders and appreciate their confidence in Teva and specifically in our robust restructuring plan.” Mr. McClellan continued: “This amendment is an important part of our plan to obtain additional flexibility with our credit facilities and manage our capital structure.”

As of January 31, 2018, the aggregate principal amount collectively outstanding under the USD term loan facility was $1.6 billion, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the JPY term loan facilities was $1.4 billion and the aggregate committed principal amount (as of January 31, 2018 this facility remained fully undrawn) under the USD revolving credit facility will be reduced from $4.5 billion to $3.0 billion. The amendments received the support of lenders holding approximately 94% of the aggregate loans and undrawn commitments across the five credit facilities.

The amendments include certain terms and conditions including Teva’s commitment not to distribute common share dividends while its net debt to EBITDA is above 4.75 times. Additionally, although no prepayment is required, if Teva decides to make a prepayment using proceeds from divested assets and/or future indebtedness, then this payment must be applied on a pro-rata basis between all USD and JPY term loans.
