About Actavis plc
The Company is a global specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of generic, branded generic, brand name (brand), biosimilar and over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical products. The Company also develops and out-licenses generic pharmaceutical products primarily in Europe through its Medis third-party business. Actavis SCS, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Actavis plc and of Warner Chilcott, one of the gurantors of the notes, is a limited partnership (société en commandite simple) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 46A, avenue J.F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce and Companies under number B187.310, having a share capital of $20,000.
The Company has operations in more than 60 countries throughout North America (U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico) and the rest of world. The U.S. remains its largest commercial market and represented more than half of its total net revenues for each of 2014, 2013 and 2012. As of December 31, 2014, the Company marketed approximately 250 generic pharmaceutical product families and approximately 80 brand pharmaceutical product families in the U.S. and distributed approximately 12,650 stockkeeping units through its Anda Distribution segment.
As a result of the differences between the types of products the Company markets and/or distributes and the methods by which it distributes these products, the Company operates and manages its business in three distinct operating segments: North American Brands, North American Generics and International and Anda Distribution.
The Companys North American Brands business is focused on maintaining a leading position within North America, and in particular, the U.S. market. The Company markets its brand products through its active sales professionals in North America. The Companys sales and marketing efforts focus on general and specialty physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of particular medical conditions. Each group offers products to satisfy the unique needs of these physicians. The Company believes this focused sales and marketing approach enables it to foster close professional relationships with specialty physicians, as well as cover the primary care physicians who also prescribe in selected therapeutic areas. The Company believes that the current structure of sales professionals is very adaptable to the additional products it plans to add to its brand portfolio. Key therapeutic areas of focus for this segment include:
| Central nervous system (CNS). Key products include the Namenda franchise for dementia and Viibryd® for major depressive disorders. |
| Womens health and urology. Key products include Lo Loestrin® Fe oral contraceptive, Minastrin® 24 Fe oral contraceptive and Estrace® Cream for relief from menopausal symptoms. |
S-7
| Gastroenterology (GI). Key products include Linzess® for irritable bowel syndrome and Asacol® HD/Delzicol® for ulcerative colitis. |
| Cardiovascular. Key products include Bystolic® for hypertension. |
The Companys North American Generics and International business is focused on maintaining a leading position within both the North American, and in particular, the U.S. market and its key international markets and strengthening its global position by offering a consistent and reliable supply of quality brand and generic products. The Companys strategy in the U.S. is to develop pharmaceuticals that are difficult to formulate or manufacture or will complement or broaden its existing product lines. Internationally, the Company seeks to grow its market share in key markets while expanding its presence in new markets. The Company plans to accomplish this through new product launches, filing existing products overseas and in-licensing products through acquisitions and strategic alliances. In the U.S., the Company predominantly markets its generic products to various drug wholesalers, mail order, government and national retail drug and food store chains utilizing a small team of sales and marketing professionals. The Company also develops and out-licenses generic pharmaceutical products through its Medis third party business.
The Companys Anda Distribution segment distributes generic and brand pharmaceutical products manufactured by third parties, as well as by the Company, primarily to independent pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharmacy buying groups and physicians offices. Sales are principally generated through the Companys national accounts relationships, an in-house telemarketing staff and through internally developed ordering systems. The Company believes that it is able to effectively compete in the distribution market, and therefore optimize its market share, based on competitive pricing, high levels of inventory for responsive customer service that includes next day delivery to the entire U.S., and well-established relationships with its customers, supplemented by electronic ordering capabilities. The Company is the only U.S. pharmaceutical company that has meaningful distribution operations with direct access to independent pharmacies.
The Company devotes significant resources to the research and development (R&D) of brand products, generic products, biosimilars and proprietary drug delivery technologies. The Company conducts R&D through a network of more than 20 global R&D centers. The Company is presently developing a number of products through a combination of internal and collaborative programs. As of December 31, 2014, the Company is developing a number of brand products, some of which utilize novel drug-delivery systems, through a combination of internal and collaborative programs, and it had more than 200 Abbreviated New Drug Applications on file in the U.S. The Companys R&D strategy focuses on the following product development areas:
| Application of proprietary drug-delivery technology for new product development in specialty areas; |
| Acquisition of mid-to-late development-stage brand drugs and biosimilars; |
| Off-patent drugs that are difficult to develop or manufacture, or that complement or broaden the Companys existing product lines; and |
| Development of sustained-release, semi-solid, liquid, oral transmucosal, transdermal, gel, injectable and other drug delivery technologies and the application of these technologies to proprietary drug forms. |

The Allergan acquisition
On November 17, 2014, Actavis plc and Allergan announced a definitive agreement (the Merger Agreement) under which Actavis plc will acquire Allergan for a combination of $129.22 in cash (the Cash Consideration Portion) and 0.3683 Actavis plc ordinary shares for each share of Allergan common stock (the Acquisition). Based on the closing price of Actavis plcs shares on November 14, 2014, the transaction was valued at approximately $66.0 billion. The transaction is expected to close in the late first quarter or early second quarter of 2015.
Actavis plcs combination with Allergan will create one of the top 10 global pharmaceutical companies by sales revenue. The Company believes the combination provides a strong foundation for long-term growth, anchored by leading franchises complemented by a late-stage pipeline focused on innovative and durable value-enhancing products within brands, generics, biologics and OTC portfolios.
In the U.S., the combination makes the Company more relevant to a broader group of physicians and customers through the addition of key Allergan products. The Company believes that the addition of Allergans therapeutic franchises in ophthalmology, neurosciences and medical aesthetics/dermatology will complement the Companys existing CNS, GI, womens health and urology franchises. The combined company will also benefit from Allergans global brand equity and consumer awareness of key products, including Botox® and Restasis® .
Overseas, the combination will enhance the Companys commercial position, expand its portfolio and broaden its footprint. The transaction expands the Companys presence, market and product reach across 100 international markets, with strengthened commercial positions across Canada, Europe, Southeast Asia and other high-value growth markets, including China, India, the Middle East and Latin America.
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, together with the net proceeds of Actavis plcs recently completed offering of its ordinary shares (the Ordinary Shares Offering), Actavis plcs recently completed offering of its 5.500% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares, Series A (the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares and, such offering, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares Offering) and the other Debt Financing described below to finance the Cash Consideration Portion of the Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. In the event that Actavis plc does not consummate the Acquisition on or prior to November 30, 2015 or the Merger Agreement is terminated at any time prior to such date, then we expect to use the net proceeds from this offering together with cash on hand to redeem the notes as described under Description of the notesSpecial mandatory redemption. This offering is not contingent upon the completion of the Acquisition, which, if completed, will occur subsequent to the closing of this offering. We cannot assure you that the Acquisition will be completed or, if completed, that it will be completed within the time period or on the terms and with the anticipated benefits described in this prospectus supplement.
Upon the successful closing of the Acquisition, Actavis plc intends to use the Allergan name as its corporate name for its global branded pharmaceuticals business, and will retain the Actavis name for its global generic pharmaceutical business. The change in Actavis plcs corporate name will be subject to approval by Actavis plc shareholders.

Investing in the notes involves risk. Our indirect parent, Actavis plc, and its subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory, operating and other risks as a result of the nature of their operations and the marketplace in which they operate. Many of these risks are beyond our and their control and several pose significant challenges to our and their business, operations, revenues, net income and cash flows. Before you decide to buy the notes, you should carefully consider the risks described below, which include risks associated with Actavis plcs acquisition of Allergan, together with the risk factors described in the accompanying prospectus and with all the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The risks described herein and therein are not the only ones we face. Additional risks of which we are not presently aware or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our business. If any of the risks actually occur, Actavis plcs or our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that event, we may be unable to meet our obligations under the notes and you may lose all or part of your investment.
For more information about the risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to us, Actavis plc and our business, we refer you to the discussion under the caption Risk factors included in Actavis plcs and Warner Chilcotts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents Actavis plc and Warner Chilcott file with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
For more information about the risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to Allergan and its business, we refer you to the discussion under the caption Risk factors included in Allergans Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Risks relating to the notes
Actavis plc may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. Actavis plc may also encounter significant difficulties in integrating the two businesses.
The ability of Actavis plc to realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition will depend, to a large extent, on Actavis plcs ability to integrate the two businesses. The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. As a result, Actavis plc and Allergan will be required to devote significant management attention and resources prior to closing to prepare for integrating, and Actavis plc will be required to devote significant management attention and resources post-closing to integrate, the business practices and operations of Actavis plc and its subsidiaries and Allergan and its subsidiaries. The integration process may disrupt the businesses and, if implemented ineffectively, would restrict the realization of the full expected benefits. The failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating the two businesses and to realize the anticipated benefits of the transactions could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of the combined company and could adversely affect the results of operations of the combined company.
In addition, the overall integration of the businesses may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses, loss of customer and other business relationships, and diversion of managements attention. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among others:
| the diversion of managements attention to integration matters; |
| difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the combination; |
S-21
| difficulties in the integration of operations and systems; |
| conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures between the two companies; |
| difficulties in the assimilation of employees; |
| difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company; |
| challenges in keeping existing customers and obtaining new customers; |
| potential unknown liabilities, adverse consequences and unforeseen increased expenses associated with the Acquisition, including possible adverse tax consequences to the Actavis plc group pursuant to the anti-inversion rules under section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as a result of the Acquisition or otherwise; |
| challenges in attracting and retaining key personnel; and |
| coordinating a geographically dispersed organization. |
Many of these factors will be outside of the control of Actavis plc or Allergan and any one of them could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion of managements time and energy, which could materially impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. In addition, even if the operations of the businesses of Actavis plc and Allergan are integrated successfully, the full benefits of the transactions may not be realized, including the synergies, cost savings or sales or growth opportunities that are expected. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Further, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of the businesses of Actavis plc and Allergan. All of these factors could cause dilution to the earnings per share of Actavis plc, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the transactions, and negatively impact our ability to meet our obligations under the notes. As a result, it cannot be assured that the combination of Actavis plc and Allergan will result in the realization of the full benefits anticipated from the transactions.
Actavis plc and Allergan will incur direct and indirect costs as a result of the Acquisition
Actavis plc and Allergan will incur substantial expenses in connection with and as a result of completing the Acquisition and, over a period of time following the completion of the Acquisition, Actavis plc further expects to incur substantial expenses in connection with coordinating the businesses, operations, policies and procedures of Actavis plc and Allergan. While Actavis plc has assumed that a certain level of transaction expenses will be incurred, factors beyond Actavis plcs control could affect the total amount or the timing of these expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately.
If the Acquisition is consummated, Actavis plc and we will incur a substantial amount of debt to finance the aggregate cash consideration portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition and certain other amounts to be paid in connection with the Acquisition, which could adversely affect Actavis plcs and our businesses, including by restricting its and our ability to engage in additional transactions or incur additional indebtedness or resulting in a downgrade or other adverse action with respect to Actavis plcs credit rating.
In connection with the Acquisition, Actavis plc expects that one or more of its subsidiaries, including Actavis SCS, will (i) borrow up to $5.5 billion under the Term Facilities, (ii) issue $21.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the notes, (iii) borrow up to $4.698 billion under the Cash Bridge Facility and (iv) to the extent any of the foregoing funds are not available, borrow amounts under a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility (the Bridge Facility). Following the completion of the Acquisition, the combined consolidated company will have a significant amount of debt outstanding. On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the incurrence of debt, the consolidated debt of Actavis plc would have been approximately $44.2 billion as of December 31, 2014. Actavis plcs net consolidated borrowing costs,
S-22
which cannot be predicted at this time, will depend on rates in effect from time to time, the structure of the debt, taxes and other factors.
This substantial level of indebtedness could have important consequences to Actavis plcs and our business, including, but not limited to:
| reducing the benefits Actavis plc expects to receive from the Acquisition; |
| making it more difficult for Actavis plc and us to satisfy our respective obligations; |
| limiting Actavis plcs and our ability to borrow additional funds and increasing the cost of any such borrowing; |
| increasing Actavis plcs vulnerability to, and reducing its flexibility to respond to, general adverse economic and industry conditions; |
| limiting Actavis plcs flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the industry in which it operates; |
| placing Actavis plc at a competitive disadvantage as compared to its competitors, to the extent that they are not as highly leveraged; and |
| restricting Actavis plc and us from pursuing certain business opportunities. |
Actavis plcs and our credit ratings impact the cost and availability of future borrowings and, accordingly, Actavis plcs cost of capital. Actavis plcs and our ratings at any time will reflect each rating organizations then opinion of Actavis plcs and our financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet our respective debt obligations. Following the announcement of the Acquisition, Standard & Poors Rating Services, Moodys Investor Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings, Inc. each reaffirmed its respective ratings of Actavis plc and our existing senior unsecured notes. However, there can be no assurance that Actavis plc or we will achieve a particular rating or maintain a particular rating in the future. Any reduction in Actavis plcs or our credit ratings may limit Actavis plcs or our ability to borrow at interest rates consistent with the interest rates that have been available to Actavis plc and us prior to the Acquisition. If Actavis plcs or our credit ratings are downgraded or put on watch for a potential downgrade, Actavis plc or we may not be able to sell additional debt securities or borrow money in the amounts, at the times or interest rates or upon the more favorable terms and conditions that might be available if Actavis plcs or our current credit ratings are maintained. Any impairment of Actavis plcs or our ability to obtain future financing on favorable terms could have an adverse effect on Actavis plcs ability to refinance the Bridge Facility, if drawn, with the issuance of debt securities or alternatives to the Bridge Facility on terms more favorable than under the Bridge Facility, or to refinance, to the extent the Cash Bridge Facility is not otherwise repaid using Allergans cash on hand, the Cash Bridge Facility, or our ability to meet our obligations under the notes.
Actavis plc expects that, for a period of time following the consummation of the Acquisition, Actavis plc will have significantly less cash on hand than the sum of cash on hand of Actavis plc and Allergan prior to the Acquisition. This reduced amount of cash could adversely affect Actavis plcs ability to grow.
Actavis plc is expected to have, for a period of time following the consummation of the Acquisition, significantly less cash and cash equivalents on hand than the approximately $5.16 billion of combined cash and cash equivalents of the two companies as of December 31, 2014. On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had been consummated on December 31, 2014, Actavis plc would have $1.71 billion of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014. Although the management of Actavis plc believes that it will have access to cash sufficient to meet Actavis plcs business objectives and capital needs, the lessened availability of cash and cash equivalents for a period of time following the consummation of the Acquisition
S-23
could constrain Actavis plcs ability to grow its business. Actavis plcs more leveraged financial position following the Acquisition could also make it vulnerable to general economic downturns and industry conditions, and place it at a competitive disadvantage relative to its competitors that have more cash at their disposal or negatively impact our ability to meet our obligations under the notes. In the event that Actavis plc does not have adequate capital to maintain or develop its business, additional capital may not be available to Actavis plc or us on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all.
The Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Acquisition may not be completed.
The Merger Agreement contains a number of conditions that must be fulfilled to complete the Acquisition. Those conditions include: the approval of the Merger Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 16, 2014, as it may be amended from time to time, by and among Actavis plc, Avocado Acquisition Inc. and Allergan, by Allergan stockholders; the approval of Actavis plcs proposal for the issuance of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement by Actavis plcs shareholders; receipt of requisite regulatory and antitrust approvals; absence of orders prohibiting the closing of the Acquisition; approval of the Ordinary Shares to be issued to Allergan stockholders for listing on the NYSE; the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties of both parties subject to specified materiality standards; the performance by both parties of their covenants and agreements and that, since the date of the Merger Agreement, no material adverse effect of Allergan or Actavis plc has occurred and is continuing. These conditions to the closing of the Acquisition may not be fulfilled and, accordingly, the Acquisition may not be completed. In addition, if the Acquisition is not completed by September 30, 2015 (subject to extension to November 16, 2015, if the only conditions not satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing of the Acquisition, which conditions are capable of being satisfied) are conditions relating to certain required filings and clearances under antitrust laws, the absence of certain proceedings under certain antitrust laws and the absence of any orders, judgments or decrees under certain antitrust laws), either Actavis plc or Allergan may choose not to proceed with the Acquisition. In addition, Actavis plc or Allergan may elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances, and the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, whether before or after Allergan stockholder approval or Actavis plc shareholder approval.
While we intend to use the proceeds of this offering to fund the Acquisition, this offering is not contingent on the completion of the Acquisition. If Actavis plc fails to consummate the Acquisition, we will be required to redeem the notes offered hereby. Our ability to pay the redemption price to holders of the notes in connection with a special mandatory redemption may be limited by our then-existing financial resources, and sufficient funds may not be available when necessary to make any required purchases of the notes. See The notes are subject to mandatory redemption if the Allergan Acquisition is not completed on or prior to November 30, 2015 or if the Merger Agreement is terminated any time prior to such date.
Actavis plcs, Warner Chilcotts and Allergans actual financial positions and results of operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this prospectus supplement.
The pro forma financial information contained in this prospectus supplement is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of what Actavis plcs and Warner Chilcotts financial position or results of operations would have been had the transactions been completed on the dates indicated. The pro forma financial information has been derived from the audited and unaudited historical financial statements of Actavis plc, Warner Chilcott, certain companies previously acquired by Actavis plc, and Allergan and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the combined company after giving effect to the transactions. The assets and liabilities of Allergan have been measured at fair value based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that Actavis plc and Warner Chilcott management believes are
S-24
reasonable utilizing information currently available. The process for estimating the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. These estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Differences between preliminary estimates in the pro forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting will occur and could have a material impact on the pro forma financial information and the combined companys financial position and future results of operations. In addition, Actavis plc, Allergan and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates are involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, investigations and proceedings, and litigation matters that arise from time to time, and it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of these matters will adversely affect Actavis plc or Allergan and their respective results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. They and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates also engage from time to time in settlement discussions regarding such proceedings, including matters involving federal and state authorities. The impact of such settlements could be material to their results of operation, however, there can be no assurance that any such ongoing settlement discussions will result in actual settlements.
In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect Actavis plcs financial condition or results of operations following the closing. Any potential decline in Actavis plcs financial condition or results of operations may negatively impact our ability to meet our obligations under the notes.
Actavis plc and its subsidiaries and affiliates would be adversely affected if, either based on current law or in the event of a change in law, the Internal Revenue Service did not agree that Actavis plc is a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes. In addition, future changes to international tax laws not specifically related to inversions could adversely affect us.
Actavis plc believes that, under current law, it is treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes, because it is an Irish incorporated entity. However, the IRS may assert that Actavis plc should be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874. Under Section 7874, a corporation created or organized outside the United States (i.e., a foreign corporation) will be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes when (i) the foreign corporation directly or indirectly acquires substantially all of the assets held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation (including the indirect acquisition of assets of the U.S. corporation by acquiring all the outstanding shares of the U.S. corporation), (ii) the shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 80% (by either vote or value) of the shares of the foreign acquiring corporation after the acquisition by reason of holding shares in the U.S. acquired corporation (including the receipt of the foreign corporations shares in exchange for the U.S. corporations shares), and (iii) the foreign corporations expanded affiliated group does not have substantial business activities in the foreign corporations country of organization or incorporation relative to such expanded affiliated groups worldwide activities. For purposes of Section 7874, multiple acquisitions of U.S. corporations by a foreign corporation, if treated as part of a plan or series of related transactions, may be treated as a single acquisition. If multiple acquisitions of U.S. corporations are treated as a single acquisition, all shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporations would be aggregated for purposes of the test set forth above concerning such shareholders holding at least 80% (by either vote or value) of the shares of the foreign acquiring corporation after the acquisitions by reason of holding shares in the acquired U.S. corporations.
Actavis plc believes that the test set forth above to treat Actavis plc as a foreign corporation was satisfied in connection with the acquisition of Actavis, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Warner Chilcott plc, a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (the Warner Chilcott Transaction) on October 1, 2013. However, the law and Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 7874 are relatively new and somewhat unclear, and thus it cannot be assured that the IRS will agree that the ownership requirements to treat Actavis plc as a foreign corporation were met. Moreover, even if such ownership requirements were met in the Warner Chilcott
S-25
Transaction and the subsequent acquisition of all of the common stock of Forest Laboratories Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the Forest Transaction), the IRS may assert that, even though the Acquisition is a separate transaction from the Warner Chilcott Transaction and the Forest Transaction, the Acquisition should be integrated with the Warner Chilcott Transaction and the Forest Transaction as a single transaction. In the event the IRS were to prevail with such assertion, Actavis plc would be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes and significant adverse tax consequences would result for Actavis plc and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
In addition, changes to the inversion rules in Section 7874 or the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or other IRS guidance could adversely affect Actavis plcs status as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes, and any such changes could have prospective or retroactive application to Actavis plc, Allergan, their respective stockholders, shareholders and affiliates, and/or the Acquisition. For example, in March 2014, the President of the United States proposed legislation that would amend the anti-inversion rules. In September 2014, the U.S. Treasury and the IRS issued additional guidance stating that they intend to issue regulations that will address certain inversion transactions.
Even if Actavis plc is treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes, Actavis plc and its subsidiaries and affiliates might be adversely impacted by recent proposals that have aimed to make other changes in the taxation of multinational corporations. For example, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has released proposals to create an agreed set of international rules for fighting base erosion and profit shifting. As a result, the tax laws in the United States, Ireland, Luxembourg and other countries in which we and our affiliates do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such changes could adversely affect Actavis plc and its subsidiaries and affiliates (including the guarantors, and Allergan and its affiliates after the Acquisition).
Moreover, U.S. and foreign tax authorities may carefully scrutinize companies that result from cross-border business combination, such as Actavis plc, which may lead such authorities to assert that Actavis plc or its subsidiaries or affiliates owe additional taxes.
Section 7874 likely will limit Actavis plcs and its U.S. affiliates ability to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes of Allergan and its U.S. affiliates to offset certain U.S. taxable income, if any, generated by the Acquisition or certain specified transactions for a period of time following the Acquisition.
Following the acquisition of a U.S. corporation by a foreign corporation, Section 7874 can limit the ability of the acquired U.S. corporation and its U.S. affiliates to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes such as net operating losses to offset U.S. taxable income resulting from certain transactions. Based on the limited guidance available, Actavis plc believes that this limitation applies to Actavis plc and its U.S. affiliates following the Warner Chilcott Transaction and as a result, Actavis plc currently does not expect that it or its U.S. affiliates (including Allergan and its U.S. affiliates after the Acquisition) will be able to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes of Allergan and its U.S. affiliates to offset their U.S. taxable income, if any, resulting from certain specified taxable transactions.
The notes are subject to prior claims of any of our and the guarantors future secured creditors.
The notes and the guarantees are our and the guarantors unsecured general obligations. Holders of our and the guarantors secured indebtedness will have claims that are prior to your claims as holders of the notes and under the guarantees, to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. The indenture governing the notes permits us, the guarantors, our future subsidiaries and Warner Chilcott and its subsidiaries to incur additional secured indebtedness. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding, our and the guarantors respective pledged assets would be available to satisfy obligations of our and the guarantors respective secured indebtedness before any payment could be made on the notes. To the
S-26
extent that such assets cannot satisfy in full our and the guarantors secured indebtedness, the holders of such indebtedness would have a claim for any shortfall that would rank equally in right of payment with the notes and the guarantees, and such claim may even be senior in ranking depending on the terms of the security interest. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the notes. As a result, holders of the notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of our and the guarantors secured indebtedness.
We have no operations and have no operations and are dependent on payments on intercompany loans to repay the notes.
Actavis SCS, the issuer of the notes, has no operations or subsidiaries. Consequently, our ability to service the notes will depend primarily on our receipt of interest and principal payments on account of intercompany loans owing to us from other subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott. Payments to us by such persons will be contingent upon such persons earnings and other business considerations and may be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. If we do not have sufficient funds on hand or available through such intercompany arrangements, we will need to seek additional financing. Additional financing may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all.
Your right to receive payments on the notes is effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott that do not guarantee the notes.
The guarantees of the notes by Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. will be structurally subordinated to the claims of the creditors of their respective subsidiaries that do not also guarantee the notes, except to the extent they are recognized as a creditor of the subsidiary, in which case their claim would still be effectively subordinate in right to payment to any security in the assets of the subsidiary and any indebtedness of the subsidiary senior to any indebtedness held by them respectively. Substantially all of the operations of Actavis plc are conducted through subsidiaries of the guarantors and, therefore, the guarantors depend on the cash flow of their respective subsidiaries to meet their obligations. The subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott that do not guarantee the notes (other than Actavis SCS) will have no obligation to make distributions or other transfers to us to enable us to meet our obligations with respect to the notes. The total pro forma outstanding indebtedness of Warner Chilcotts consolidated subsidiaries (other than Actavis SCS) that do not guarantee the notes would have been approximately $6,675.8 billion as of December 31, 2014.
The amount of interest payable on the floating rate notes is set only once per period based on the three-month LIBOR rate on the interest determination date, which rate may fluctuate substantially; increases in the three-month LIBOR rate as of any interest determination date will require us to make increased interest payments on the floating rate notes.
In the past, the level of the three-month LIBOR rate has experienced significant fluctuations. You should note that historical levels, fluctuations and trends of the three-month LIBOR rate are not necessarily indicative of future levels. Any historical upward or downward trend in the three-month LIBOR rate is not an indication that the three-month LIBOR rate is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during a floating rate interest period (as described in Description of the notes), and you should not take the historical levels of the three-month LIBOR rate as an indication of its future performance. In addition, although the actual three-month LIBOR rate on an interest payment date or at other times during an interest period may be higher than the three-month LIBOR rate on the applicable interest determination date (as defined in Description of the notes), the only relevant date for purposes of determining the interest payable on the floating rate notes is the three-month LIBOR rate as of the respective interest determination date. Changes in the three-month LIBOR rates between interest determination dates will not affect the interest payable on the notes. As a result, changes in the three-month LIBOR rate may not result in a comparable change in the market value of the floating rate notes. Increases in the three-month LIBOR rate as of any interest determination date will require us to make higher interest payments on the floating rate notes.
S-27
Uncertainty relating to the LIBOR calculation process may adversely affect the value of the floating rate notes.
As a result of concerns about the accuracy of the calculation of daily LIBOR, a number of British Bankers Association (the BBA) member banks have entered into settlements with their regulators and law enforcement agencies with respect to alleged under-reporting or other manipulation or attempts at manipulation of LIBOR, and there are ongoing civil and criminal investigations by regulators and law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom and elsewhere with respect to such matters. Following a review of LIBOR conducted at the request of the U.K. government, on September 28, 2012, recommendations for reforming the setting and governing of LIBOR were released, including, among others, for the transfer of responsibility for LIBOR from the BBA to an independent administrator, changes to the method of compilation of lending rates and new regulatory oversight and enforcement mechanisms. Based on such recommendations and on a subsequent public and governmental consultation process, on March 24, 2013, the U.K. Financial Services Authority published rules for the regulation and supervision of LIBOR, including requirements that an independent LIBOR administrator monitor and survey LIBOR submissions and that firms submitting data to LIBOR establish and maintain a clear conflicts of interest policy and appropriate systems and controls. Such rules took effect on April 2, 2013 and effective February 1, 2014, ICE Benchmark Administrator Limited was appointed as the independent LIBOR administrator. It is not possible to predict the effect of such rules, any changes to the manner in which LIBOR is determined and any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. Uncertainty as to the nature of any such potential changes may adversely affect the trading market for LIBOR-based securities, including the floating rate notes.
Active trading markets may not develop for the notes.
Each series of notes is a new issue of securities, and there is currently no established trading market for the notes. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange or to arrange for the notes to be quoted on any automated dealer quotation system. The underwriters may make a market in the notes after completion of the offering, but they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue their market-making activities at any time without notice in their sole discretion. In addition, the liquidity of the trading markets in the notes, and the market prices quoted for the notes, may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for securities and by changes in the financial performance of Actavis plc or us or our prospects and/or companies in our industry generally. As a result, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the notes or that a public market for the notes will develop or be maintained, or as to your ability to sell any notes you may own at a particular time or that the prices you receive when you sell will be favorable.
Our indenture governing the notes may not provide protection against certain events and transactions that could affect the value of the notes.
The limited covenants in the notes and the indenture governing the notes may not provide protection against some events or developments that may affect our ability to repay the notes or the trading prices for the notes. The definition of the term change of control triggering event (as defined in Description of the notesRepurchase upon a change of control), does not cover a variety of transactions (such as acquisitions by us) that could negatively affect the value of your notes. If we were to enter into a significant corporate transaction that would negatively affect the value of the notes but would not constitute a change of control triggering event, we would not be required to offer to repurchase your notes prior to maturity.
Furthermore the indenture governing the notes will not:
| require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow or liquidity and, accordingly, does not protect holders of the notes in the event that we experience significant adverse changes in its financial condition or results of operations; |
S-28
| limit our or Warner Chilcotts and its subsidiaries ability to incur indebtedness or other liabilities that are equal in right of payment to the notes; |
| limit our or Warner Chilcotts and its subsidiaries ability to incur substantial secured indebtedness that would effectively rank senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing the indebtedness; |
| limit any future subsidiarys ability to incur indebtedness or other liabilities, which would rank senior to the notes; |
| restrict any future subsidiarys ability to issue securities or otherwise incur indebtedness or other liabilities that would be senior to our equity interests in such subsidiary; |
| restrict our or Warner Chilcotts subsidiaries ability to repurchase or prepay securities; or |
| restrict our or Warner Chilcotts subsidiaries ability to make investments or to repurchase or pay dividends or make other payments in respect of common stock or other securities ranking junior or effectively junior to the notes. |
For these reasons, you should not consider the covenants in the indenture as a significant factor in evaluating whether to invest in the notes. In addition, Actavis plc, Forest and other subsidiaries of Actavis plc are subject to periodic review by independent credit rating agencies. An increase in the level of Actavis plcs outstanding consolidated indebtedness or the level of outstanding indebtedness at any of our affiliates, or other events that could have an adverse impact on Actavis plcs business, properties, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, may cause the rating agencies to downgrade Actavis plcs, our or our guarantors debt credit rating generally, and the ratings on the notes, which could adversely impact the trading prices for, or the liquidity of, the notes. Any such downgrade could also adversely affect Actavis plcs or our cost of borrowing, limit our access to the capital markets or result in more restrictive covenants in future debt agreements.
Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of your investment in the notes.
The credit ratings assigned to the notes are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an investment in the notes, but rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. There can be no assurance that such credit ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agencies, if, in such rating agencys judgment, circumstances so warrant. Credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security. Each agencys rating should be evaluated independently of any other agencys rating. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in Actavis plcs, the guarantors or our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under further review for a downgrade, could affect the market value of the notes and increase Actavis plcs or our corporate borrowing costs.
We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control.
Upon a change of control (as defined in Description of the notesRepurchase upon a change of control) and a downgrade of the notes below an investment grade rating by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poors Ratings Services, we will be required to make an offer to each holder of notes to repurchase all or any part of such holders notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. If a change of control triggering event under the indenture occurs, there can be no assurance that we would have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy our obligations to repurchase the notes. Our failure to purchase the notes as required under the indenture governing the notes would result in a default under the indenture, which could have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the notes. See Description of the notesRepurchase upon a change of control.
S-29
The notes are subject to mandatory redemption if the Acquisition is not completed on or prior to November 30, 2015 or if the Merger Agreement is terminated any time prior to such date.
If the Acquisition is not completed on or before November 30, 2015 or if the Merger Agreement is terminated for any other reason other than consummation of the Acquisition, we will be required to redeem all of the outstanding notes on the special mandatory redemption date at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date. See Description of the notesSpecial mandatory redemption.
The proceeds of this offering will not be deposited into an escrow account pending any special mandatory redemption of the notes. Our ability to pay the redemption price to holders of the notes in connection with a special mandatory redemption may be limited by our then-existing financial resources, and sufficient funds may not be available when necessary to make any required purchases of the notes following our election to redeem the notes. In addition, even if we are able to redeem each series of notes pursuant to a special mandatory redemption, holders of such series of notes may not obtain their expected return on such notes. Your decision to invest in the notes is made at the time of the offering of the notes. You will not have any right to require us to repurchase the notes if, between the closing of this offering and the closing of the Acquisition, we experience any changes in our business or financial condition, or if the terms of the Acquisition or the financing thereof change.
Federal and state statutes allow U.S. courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from the guarantors.
Creditors of the guarantors could challenge the guarantees of the notes as fraudulent conveyances or on other grounds. Under U.S. federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, the delivery of the guarantees could be found to be a fraudulent transfer and declared void if a court determined that a guarantor, at the time the guarantor incurred the obligations evidenced by its guarantee, (1) delivered the guarantee with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud its existing or future creditors; or (2) received less than reasonably equivalent value or did not receive fair consideration for the issuance of the guarantee and any of the following three conditions apply:
| the guarantor was insolvent on the date of the issuance of the guarantee or was rendered insolvent as a result of the issuance of the guarantee; |
| the guarantor was engaged in a business or transaction, or was about to engage in a business or transaction, for which the guarantors remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or |
| the guarantor intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as such debts matured. |
In addition, any payment by the guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor. In any such case, your right to receive payments in respect of the notes from a guarantor would be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of such guarantor.
The indenture governing the notes contains a savings clause, which limits the liability on the guarantees to the maximum amount that a guarantor can incur without risk that its guarantee will be subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer. We cannot assure you that this limitation will protect the guarantee from fraudulent transfer challenges or, if it does, that the remaining amount due and collectible under the guarantees will suffice, if necessary, to pay the notes in full when due. Furthermore, in Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of TOUSA, Inc. v. Citicorp North America, Inc., the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida held that a savings clause similar to the savings clause that will be used in the indenture was unenforceable. As a result, the subsidiary guarantees were found to be fraudulent conveyances. The United States Court of Appeals for the
S-30
Eleventh Circuit recently affirmed the liability findings of the Bankruptcy Court without ruling directly on the enforceability of savings clauses generally. If the TOUSA decision is followed by other courts, the risk that the guarantees would be deemed fraudulent conveyances would be significantly increased.
If a court declares the guarantees to be void, or if the guarantees must be limited or voided in accordance with their terms, any claim you may make against us for amounts payable on the notes would, with respect to amounts claimed against the guarantor, be subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the guarantor, including trade payables. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, the guarantor would be considered insolvent if:
| the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets; |
| if the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or |
| it could not pay its debts as they become due and/or has lost its creditworthiness. |
We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations and we cannot assure you that, regardless of the method of valuation, a court would not determine that any of the guarantors were insolvent as of the date its guarantee was issued. The guarantees could be subject to the claim that, since the guarantees were incurred for the benefit of us and only indirectly for the benefit of the guarantors, the obligations of the guarantors thereunder were incurred for less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration.
We and Actavis Capital are incorporated in Luxembourg, and Luxembourg law differs from U.S. law and may afford less protection to holders of the notes.
Holders of the notes may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would security holders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States. As Luxembourg companies, Actavis SCS and Actavis Capital are incorporated under and subject to the Luxembourg law on commercial companies of 10 August 1915 (as amended) (the Luxembourg Companies Law) and Luxembourg laws and regulations. The Luxembourg Companies Law differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and security holders, including the provisions relating to interested directors, mergers, amalgamations and acquisitions, takeovers, security holder lawsuits and indemnification of directors, managers or officers.
Under Luxembourg law, the duties of directors, managers or general partners of a company, are generally owed to the company only. Security holders of Luxembourg companies generally do not have rights to take action against directors, managers or general partners of the company, except in limited circumstances. Directors, managers or general partners of a Luxembourg company must, in exercising their powers and performing their duties, act in good faith and in the interests of the company as a whole and must exercise due care, skill and diligence. Directors, managers or general partners have a duty not to put themselves in a position in which their duties to the company and their personal interests may conflict and also are under a duty to disclose any personal interest in any contract or arrangement with the company or any of its subsidiaries. If a director, manager or general partner of a Luxembourg company is found to have breached his or her duties to that company, he or she may be held personally liable to the company in respect of that breach of duty. A director, manager or general partners may be jointly and severally liable with other directors, managers or general partners implicated in the same breach of duty.
S-31
Luxembourg bankruptcy laws may be less favorable to you than bankruptcy and insolvency laws in other jurisdictions.
We and Actavis Capital are incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg, and as such any insolvency proceedings applicable to them are in principle governed by Luxembourg law. The insolvency laws of Luxembourg may not be as favorable to your interests as creditors as the laws of the United States or other jurisdictions with which you may be familiar. See Certain insolvency considerations under Luxembourg law in the accompanying prospectus.
The guarantee granted by Actavis Capital may be subject to limitations under Luxembourg law.
The granting of a guarantee by a Luxembourg company is subject to specific limitations and requirements relating to corporate object and corporate benefit. The granting of a guarantee by a company incorporated and existing in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg must be permitted by the corporate object (objet social) of the Company and not prohibited by its legal form of that company. In addition, there is also a requirement according to which the granting of security by a company has to be for its corporate benefit. See Certain insolvency considerations under Luxembourg lawGuarantees in the accompanying prospectus
As an exempted company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda, Warner Chilcott may be subject to Bermuda corporate and insolvency laws under which secured creditors could be paid in priority to the claims of holders of the notes.
The granting of the guarantee of the notes by Warner Chilcott may be subject to review under Bermuda law if:
(i) the granting of the guarantee constituted a fraudulent preference, namely Warner Chilcott granted the guarantee with the dominant intention of preferring the guaranteed party to the detriment of other creditors; and
(ii) at the time of, or immediately after, the granting of the guarantee, Warner Chilcott was insolvent; and
(iii) Warner Chilcott entered into formal insolvency proceedings within six months of the granting of the guarantee.
In addition, under Bermuda law, a transaction, which could include the granting of a guarantee, at less than fair value and made with the dominant intention of putting property beyond the reach of creditors is voidable after an action is successfully brought by an eligible creditor within a period of six years from the date of the transaction. A transaction, which could include the granting of a guarantee, might be challenged if it involved a gift by the company or if a company received consideration of significantly less than the benefit given by such company.
A judgment obtained in a non-Bermuda court against Warner Chilcott may not be readily enforceable against Warner Chilcott in Bermuda.
Warner Chilcott is an exempted company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda. As a result, it may not be possible to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against Warner Chilcott (whether based on the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws, New York law as the governing law of the notes, indenture and guarantees or otherwise) in Bermuda. We have been advised by our legal advisors in Bermuda that the United States does not currently have a treaty with Bermuda providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in the United States, whether based on U.S. federal or state securities laws or otherwise, would not automatically be enforceable (and may not be enforceable at all) in Bermuda. Furthermore, you will not be able to bring a lawsuit or otherwise seek any remedies under the laws
S-32
of the United States or any states therein, including remedies available under the U.S. federal securities laws, in the courts of Bermuda (otherwise than in relation to agreements governed by U.S. law where Bermuda courts have accepted jurisdiction to hear the matter).
You may be unable to recover in civil proceedings for U.S. securities laws violations.
We and the guarantors (other than Actavis, Inc.) are organized under the laws of countries other than the United States and may not have any assets in the United States. It is anticipated that some or all of our directors and managers, those of the guarantors (other than Actavis, Inc.) and our general partner will be nonresidents of the United States and that all or a majority of their assets will be located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or the guarantors (other than Actavis, Inc.), or to enforce any judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. In addition, we cannot assure you that civil liabilities predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States will be enforceable in any other jurisdiction. See Enforceability of civil liability under United States federal securities laws in the accompanying prospectus.
S-33
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $20,812,360,000. We expect to use the net proceeds of this offering, together with the net proceeds of the Ordinary Shares Offering, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares Offering, and the other Debt Financing, to finance the cash portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. In the event that Actavis plc does not consummate the Acquisition on or prior to November 30, 2015, or the Merger Agreement is terminated at any time prior to such date, then we expect to use the net proceeds of this offering together with cash on hand to redeem the notes as described under Description of the notesSpecial mandatory redemption.
This offering is not conditioned on the closing of the Ordinary Shares Offering or the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares Offering (neither of which is conditioned on the closing of the other) or the consummation of the Acquisition.
The following table outlines the expected sources and uses of funds for the Acquisition. The table assumes that the Acquisition and the financing transactions are completed simultaneously, although a portion of the financing transactions are expected to occur before completion of the Acquisition.
Amounts in the following table are estimated as of December 31, 2014, except offering-specific figures. The actual amounts may vary from the estimated amounts set forth in the following table.

As related to the unaudited pro forma combined financial Information, except where otherwise indicated all adjustments (in millions) are applicable to both Warner Chilcott Limited and Actavis plc.
The following historical pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 is based upon and derived from the historical financial information of the Company and of Allergan.
The fiscal years of the Company and Allergan ended on December 31. The fiscal years of Forest and Aptalis ended on March 31 and September 30, respectively. The following unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 was prepared based on (i) the historical consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014, (ii) the historical consolidated statement of earnings of Allergan for the year ended December 31, 2014, (iii) the historical consolidated statement of operations of Forest for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which was derived by subtracting the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and adding the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 from and to the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and (iv) the historical consolidated statement of operations of Aptalis for the one month ended January 31, 2014.
The Acquisition, the Forest Transaction and the Aptalis Transaction have been accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations, (ASC 805). The unaudited pro forma combined financial information set forth below primarily give effect to the following:
| Effect of application of the acquisition method of accounting in connection with the acquisitions referred to above; |
| Effect of issuing the Senior Notes to partially fund the Acquisition; |
| Effect of issuing the Ordinary Shares to partially fund the Acquisition; |
S-37
| Effect of issuing the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares to partially fund the Acquisition; |
| Effect of borrowing under the Term Facilities; and |
| Effect of transaction costs in connection with the acquisitions and financings. |
The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are based upon available information and certain assumptions, described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information that Actavis management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results and valuations may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. The fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Acquisition are based on a preliminary estimate of fair value as of December 31, 2014. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in determining the estimated fair values of in-process research and development (IPR&D), identifiable intangible assets and certain other assets and liabilities. Such a valuation requires estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, determining the timing and estimated costs to complete each in-process project, projecting the timing of regulatory approvals, estimating future cash flows and direct costs in addition to developing the appropriate discount rates and current market profit margins. Actavis management believes the fair values recognized for the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions. Preliminary fair value estimates may change as additional information becomes available.
The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 assume all of the transactions were completed on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 assumes all of the transactions occurred on December 31, 2014, except for the acquisitions of Forest and Aptalis and their related financings, which are already reflected in Actavis historical balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared by Actavis management in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Article 11 for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the transactions been completed as of the dates indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations that Actavis will experience after the transactions are completed. In addition, the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations do not include any pro forma adjustments to reflect expected cost savings or restructuring actions which may be achievable or the impact of any non-recurring activity and one-time transaction related costs.
Certain financial information of Allergan, Forest and Aptalis, as presented in their respective consolidated financial statements, has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in Actavis consolidated financial statements for purposes of preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

1. Description of transactions
The Acquisition: On November 16, 2014, Actavis entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time, the Merger Agreement) with Avocado Acquisition Inc. (Merger Sub), a wholly owned subsidiary of Actavis plc, and Allergan, that provides for the acquisition of Allergan by Actavis. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Allergan, with Allergan continuing as the surviving corporation. Following the Acquisition, Allergan will be an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Actavis. At the effective time of the Acquisition, each share of Allergans common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition (other than excluded shares and dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive (i) $129.22 in cash (the Cash Consideration Portion), without interest, and (ii) 0.3683 of an ordinary share of Actavis plc.
Actavis plans to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration Portion with the anticipated proceeds of the Debt and Equity Financing, which may consist of any of the following: (i) $21.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, (ii) $4.2 billion in Ordinary Shares issuance, including the underwriters full exercise of the overallotment option for such issuance, (iii) $5.1 billion in Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares issuance, including the underwriters full exercise of the overallotment option for such issuance, (iv) up to $5.5 billion under the Term Facilities, (v) up to $4.698 billion in loans under a 60-day senior unsecured bridge loan (the Cash Bridge Facility) and (vi) to the extent any of the foregoing are not available, amounts under the 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility (the Bridge Facility).
On December 17, 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement with respect to the Bridge Facility (the Bridge Credit Agreement) and term loan credit agreement with respect to the Term Facilities (the Term Loan Credit Agreement). On November 16, 2014, Actavis obtained a commitment letter (the Commitment Letter) from certain financial institutions party thereto (the Commitment Parties) pursuant to which the Commitment Parties agreed to provide, subject to certain conditions, the entire principal amount of the Cash Bridge Facility and commitments for certain other portions of the debt financing for the Acquisition that have been replaced by the Bridge Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The commitments under the Commitment Letter with respect to the Cash Bridge Facility remain outstanding.
Forest Transaction: On July 1, 2014, the Company acquired Forest for $30.9 billion, including outstanding indebtedness assumed of $3.3 billion, equity consideration of $20.6 billion, which included the assumption of outstanding Forest equity awards, and cash consideration of $7.1 billion. Under the terms of the Forest Transaction, Forest stockholders and holders of Forest equity awards received 89.8 million of Actavis plc ordinary shares, 6.1 million of Actavis plc non-qualified stock options and 1.1 million of Actavis plc share units. Included in the consideration is the portion of outstanding equity awards deemed to have been earned as of July 1, 2014 of $568.1 million (amount deemed not to have been earned as of July 1, 2014 was $570.4 million).
The Companys historical consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes results of operations of Forest since July 1, 2014.
Aptalis Transaction: On January 31, 2014, Forest acquired Aptalis in a series of merger transactions for an aggregate purchase price equal to the total enterprise value of Aptalis, plus the aggregate exercise price applicable to Aptalis outstanding options and other equity awards, plus the amount of closing date cash, minus Aptalis existing indebtedness, minus certain selling stockholders expenses.
2. Basis of presentation
The historical consolidated financial information of the Company has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly
S-43
attributable to the transactions, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.
The acquisition method of accounting uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, (referred to in this registration statement/prospectus as ASC 820) as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This is an exit price concept for the valuation of an asset or liability. Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.
3. Accounting policies
Following the Acquisition, the Company will conduct a review of accounting policies of Allergan in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require restatement or reclassification of results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to the Companys accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, the Company may identify differences among the accounting policies of the Company and Allergan that, when conformed, could have a material impact on this unaudited pro forma combined financial information. During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma combined financial information, the Company was not aware of any material differences between accounting policies of the Company and Allergan, except for certain reclassifications necessary to conform to the Companys financial presentation, and accordingly, this unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not assume any material differences in accounting policies among the Company and Allergan.
4. Historical Allergan
Financial information of Allergan in the Historical Allergan (after conforming reclassifications) column in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet represents the historical consolidated balance sheet of Allergan as of December 31, 2014. Financial information presented in the Historical Allergan (after conforming reclassifications) column in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations represents the historical consolidated statement of earnings of Allergan for the year ended December 31, 2014.

a. | Preliminary estimate of fair value of ordinary shares issued was estimated based on approximately 299.0 million shares of Allergans common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2014, after factoring in outstanding but unvested equity awards, multiplied by the exchange ratio of 0.3683 and the closing price of Actavis ordinary shares on February 24, 2015 of $289.11. All equity awards of Allergan were replaced with equity awards of Actavis plc with similar terms, except for restricted stock units with performance conditions. Preliminary estimate of fair value of equity awards issued represents the estimated aggregate fair value of Actavis plc replacement awards attributable to the service periods prior to the Acquisition, which is considered as part of purchase consideration, and was calculated based on Allergans equity awards outstanding (including restricted stock) as of December 31, 2014, multiplied by the assumed exchange ratio of 0.8153 and estimated fair value of equity awards. |
The fair values of Actavis plc ordinary shares and equity awards were estimated based on Actavis plcs closing share price on February 24, 2015 of $289.11 per share. A 28% increase in the price of Actavis plc ordinary shares would increase the aggregate Merger Consideration by $9,802.4 million, and a 28% decrease in the price of Actavis plcs ordinary shares would decrease the aggregate Merger Consideration by $9,785.9 million, both with a corresponding change to Actavis assets. The market price of Actavis plcs ordinary shares which Allergan stockholders will receive in the Acquisition as a portion of the Merger Consideration will continue to fluctuate from the date of this registration statement/prospectus through the effective time of the Acquisition and the final valuation could differ significantly from the current estimates.
S-47
b. | Cash consideration was estimated based on approximately 299.0 million shares of Allergans common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2014, multiplied by the $129.22 cash consideration per share. |
c. | Represents the estimated fair value adjustment to step-up Allergans inventory and identifiable intangible assets by $979.3 million and $53,253.5 million, to their preliminary fair values of $1,275.3 million and $55,040.0 million, respectively, which, when added to the Companys historical inventory and identifiable intangible assets of $2,075.5 million and $19,188.4 million, respectively, total $3,350.8 million and $74,288.4 million, respectively. |
The estimated step-up in inventory will increase cost of sales as the acquired inventory is sold within the first year after the Acquisition. As there is no continuing impact, the effect on cost of sales from the inventory step-up is not included in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.
Identified intangible assets of $55,040.0 million primarily consist of (i) currently marketed products (CMP) of $45,190.0 million (weighted average useful life of 6.5 years using the economic benefit model) and (ii) IPR&D of $9,850.0 million. The IPR&D amounts will be capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets and will be subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of each project and launch of the product, the Company will make a separate determination of useful life of the IPR&D intangibles and amortization will be recorded as an expense. As the IPR&D intangibles are not currently marketed, no amortization of these items is reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.
The fair value estimate for identifiable intangible assets is preliminary and is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset, based on the most advantageous market for the asset (i.e., its highest and best use). This preliminary fair value estimate could include assets that are not intended to be used, may be sold or are intended to be used in a manner other than their best use. For purposes of the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information, it is assumed that all assets will be used in a manner that represents their highest and best use. The final fair value determination for identified intangibles, including the IPR&D intangibles, may differ from this preliminary determination.
The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participants expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of the identifiable intangible assets valuations, from the perspective of a market participant, include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each project or product (including net revenues, cost of sales, research and development costs, selling and marketing costs and working capital asset/contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each assets life cycle, competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream as well as other factors. The major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of the IPR&D projects include legal risk and regulatory risk. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change or the timely completion of each project to commercial success will occur. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.
d. | Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the consideration expected to be transferred and the values assigned to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The adjustment represents a net increase of Actavis total goodwill by $25,885.5 million to $50,407.0 million after giving effect to the Acquisition. |
e. | Represents the removal of Allergans deferred debt issuance costs of $8.6 million. |
S-48
f. | Represents the estimated fair value adjustment of $10.2 million to Allergans historical long-term debt. |
g. | Represents deferred income tax liabilities of $227.2 million (current) and $12,350.5 million (non-current), resulting from fair value adjustments for the identifiable tangible assets and intangible assets as well as liabilities assumed and other acquisition accounting adjustments, respectively. This estimate of deferred tax liabilities was determined based on the excess book basis over the tax basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at a 23.2% weighted average statutory tax rate of where most of Allergans taxable income was generated historically. |
h. | Represents cash outflows from the (i) payment of cash purchase consideration of $38,635.4 million and (ii) $62.2 million of transaction costs that are expected to be incurred by Allergan and $67.2 million of transaction costs that are expected to be incurred by the Company. |
i. | Represents the addition of ordinary shares and additional paid-in capital (excluding restricted shares) of $31,836.1 million, the addition of shareholders equity related to the replacement equity awards (including restricted shares) of $2,348.2 million and the elimination of Allergans common stock and additional paid in capital of $3.1 million and $3,353.7 million respectively. |
j. | Represents the elimination of Allergans retained earnings of $5,894.8 million and $67.2 million of estimated future transaction costs the Company expects to incur related to the Acquisition. |
k. | Represents the elimination of Allergans historical treasury stock and accumulated other comprehensive income. |

7. Unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations adjustments
Adjustments related to the Acquisition
Adjustments included in the Acquisition Adjustments column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations are as follows:
a. | Represents the elimination of net revenues and cost of sales for product sales of $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 between the Company and Allergan. |
b. | Represents the incremental stock-based compensation of $159.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 in connection with the replacement equity awards granted at the close of the Acquisition. The replacement charge is accounted for as a modification to the awards. |
c. | Represents the elimination of transaction costs that have been incurred by Actavis and Allergan related to the Acquisition. |
d. | Represents increased amortization for the fair value of identified intangible assets with definite lives for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in amortization expense for intangible assets is calculated using the economic benefit model with a weighted average life of 6.5 years, less the historical Allergan amortization expense. |
e. | Represents the income tax effect for unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations adjustments related to the Acquisition using a 23.2% weighted average statutory tax rate where most of Allergans taxable income was generated historically, offset, in part, by the removal of historical tax expenses related to the adjusted line items. |
S-50
Adjustments included in the Debt and Equity Financing Adjustments column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations are as follows:
f. | Represents estimated interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs based on effective interest rate method, related to the Senior Notes and the Term Facilities as follows (in millions): |
Year ended December 31, 2014 |
||||
Senior Notes |
$ | 696.3 | ||
3 year tranche of the Term Facilities |
46.9 | |||
5 year tranche of the Term Facilities |
50.1 | |||
|
Assuming a 1% increase in interest rates for our $1.5 billion of variable rate notes and the $5.5 billion of Term Facilities, pro forma interest expense would increase by $70.0 million per year.
g. | Based on the financing structure available at the time of this filing, there would be no tax benefit on the new borrowings. |
Adjustments related to the Forest Transaction
Adjustments included in the Forest Transaction Adjustments column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations are as follows:
h. | Represents the elimination of net revenues and cost of sales of product sales of $16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, between the Company and Forest after the Aptalis Transaction. |
i. | Represents the stock-based compensation in connection with the replacement equity awards granted at the close of the Forest Transaction. |
j. | Represents the stock-based compensation of $55.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, in connection with the replacement equity awards granted at the close of the Forest Transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2014, this has been offset by the reversal of M&A costs of $(30.7) million and $(0.4) million recorded by the Company and Forest, respectively in connection with the Forest Transaction. |
S-51
k. | Represents increased amortization for the fair value of identified intangible assets with definite lives for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in amortization expense for intangible assets is based on the actual useful lives assigned to each product as follows: |

General
We will issue the floating rate notes due 2016 (the 2016 floating rate notes), the floating rate notes due 2018 (the 2018 floating rate notes), the floating rate notes due 2020 (the 2020 floating rate notes and, collectively with the 2016 floating rate notes and 2018 floating rate notes, the floating rate notes), the 1.850% notes due 2017 (the 2017 notes), the 2.350% notes due 2018 (the 2018 notes), the 3.000% notes due 2020 (the 2020 notes), the 3.450% notes due 2022 (the 2022 notes), the 3.800% notes due 2025 (the 2025 notes), the 4.550% notes due 2035 (the 2035 notes) and the 4.750% notes due 2045 (the 2045 notes and, collectively with the 2017 notes, 2018 notes, 2020 notes, 2022 notes, 2025 notes and 2035 notes, the fixed rate notes). We refer to the floating rate notes and the fixed rate notes together as the notes.
The notes will each be issued as a separate series of debt securities under the indenture referred to below in fully registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The notes will be our direct unsecured obligations and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis by Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. as of the issue date. Each series of the notes will constitute a series of securities. The notes will mature on the dates set forth below. The notes will be issued under a base indenture to be dated as of March 12, 2015, and one or more supplemental indentures to be dated as of March 12, 2015, between us and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. References to indenture are to the base indenture as so supplemented. The accompanying prospectus describes additional provisions of the notes and of the indenture. The aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may offer under the indenture is unlimited. We reserve the right, from time to time and without the consent of any holders of the notes, to re-open any series of notes on terms identical in all respects to the outstanding notes of such series (except for the date of issuance, the date interest begins to accrue and, in certain circumstances,
S-55
the first interest payment date), so that such additional notes will be consolidated with, form a single series with and increase the aggregate principal amount of the notes of such series; provided that the additional notes will have a separate CUSIP number unless: (i) the additional notes and the outstanding notes of the original series are treated as part of the same issue of debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) the additional notes are issued pursuant to a qualified reopening of the outstanding notes of the original series for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (iii) the additional notes are, and the outstanding notes of the original series were, issued without or with less than a de minimis amount of original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such additional notes will have the same terms as to ranking, redemption, guarantees, waivers, amendments or otherwise, as the applicable series of notes, and will vote together as one class on all matters with respect to such series of notes.
The indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. As of December 31, 2014, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to this offering, the Term Facilities and the use of proceeds therefrom, we and the guarantors would have had total consolidated senior unsecured indebtedness of approximately $38.5 billion, none of which constituted secured indebtedness, and total indebtedness and current liabilities of approximately $11.0 billion, all of which constituted indebtedness.
Floating rate notes
We will initially issue the 2016 floating rate notes with an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000, the 2018 floating rate notes with an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 and the 2020 floating rate notes with an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000. The 2016 floating rate notes will mature on September 1, 2016, the 2018 floating rate notes will mature on March 12, 2018, and the 2020 floating rate notes will mature on March 12, 2020.
The floating rate notes will bear interest at a variable rate. The interest rate for the floating rate notes for a particular interest period will be a per annum rate equal to LIBOR as determined on the applicable interest determination date by the calculation agent appointed by us, which initially will be the trustee, plus 0.875% for the 2016 floating rate notes, plus 1.080% for the 2018 floating rate notes and plus 1.255% for the 2020 floating rate notes. The interest rate on the floating rate notes will be reset on the first day of each interest period other than the initial interest period (each an interest reset date). Interest on the 2016 floating rate notes will be payable quarterly on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2015. Interest on the 2018 floating rate notes and the 2020 floating rate notes will be payable quarterly on March 12, June 12, September 12 and December 12 of each year, beginning on June 12, 2015. An interest period is the period commencing on an interest payment date (or, in the case of the initial interest period, commencing on March 12, 2015) and ending on the day preceding the next interest payment date. The initial interest period for the 2016 floating rate notes is March 12, 2015 through May 31, 2015. The initial interest period for the 2018 floating rate notes and the 2020 floating rates notes is March 12, 2015 through June 11, 2015. The interest determination date for an interest period will be the second London business day preceding such interest period (the interest determination date). All payments of interest on the floating rate notes due on any interest payment date will be made to the persons in whose names the floating rate notes are registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day immediately preceding the interest payment date (whether or not a business day). However, interest that we pay on the maturity date will be payable to the person to whom the principal will be payable. Interest on the floating rate notes will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in each quarterly interest period and a 360-day year.
If an interest payment date, other than the maturity date, falls on a day that is not a business day, the interest payment will be postponed to the next day that is a business day, except that if that business day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the interest payment date will be the immediately preceding business day. If the maturity date of the floating rate notes falls on a day that is not a business day, the payment of interest and
S-56
principal will be made on the next succeeding business day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the maturity date. With respect to the floating rate notes, business day is any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday which is not a day when banking institutions in the place of payment are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed that is also a London business day. A London business day is any day on which dealings in United States dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.
LIBOR will be determined by the calculation agent in accordance with the following provisions:
(1) | With respect to any interest determination date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period that appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that interest determination date. If no rate appears, then LIBOR, in respect of that interest determination date, will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (2) below. |
(2) | With respect to an interest determination date on which no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, as specified in (1) above, the calculation agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the calculation agent, to provide the calculation agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable interest period, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that interest determination date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the interest determination date by three major banks in New York City selected by the calculation agent for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time; provided that if the banks selected by the calculation agent are not providing quotations in the manner described by this sentence, LIBOR will be the same as the rate determined for the immediately preceding interest reset date or if there is no immediately preceding interest reset date, LIBOR will be the same as the rate determined for the initial interest period. |
Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page means the display designated on page LIBOR01 on Reuters (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits of major banks).
All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 8.986865% (or 0.08986865) being rounded to 8.98687% (or 0.0898687)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).
The interest rate on the floating rate notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States laws of general application.
The calculation agent will, upon the request of any holder of the floating rate notes, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the floating rate notes. All calculations made by the calculation agent in the absence of manifest error will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on us and the holders of the floating rate notes.

Interest on the 2017 notes will accrue at the rate of 1.850% per annum, interest on the 2018 notes will accrue at the rate of 2.350% per annum, interest on the 2020 notes will accrue at the rate of 3.000% per annum, interest on the 2022 notes will accrue at the rate of 3.450% per annum, interest on the 2025 notes will accrue at the rate of 3.800% per annum, interest on the 2035 notes will accrue at the rate of 4.550% per annum and interest on the 2045 notes will accrue at the rate of 4.750% per annum. We will pay interest on the 2017 notes semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2015, to the record holders at the close of business on the preceding February 15 or August 15 (whether or not a business day). We will pay interest on the 2018 notes and the 2020 notes semi-annually in arrears on March 12 and September 12 of each year, beginning on September 12, 2015, to the record holders at the close of business on the preceding March 1 or September 1 (whether or not a business day). We will pay interest on the 2022 notes, the 2025 notes, the 2035 notes and the 2045 notes semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2015, to the record holders at the close of business on the preceding March 1 or September 1 (whether or not a business day). Interest on the fixed rate notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any interest payment date, redemption date or maturity date falls on a day that is not a business day, the payment of any required amount on such date shall be postponed to the next succeeding business day, and no interest on such amount shall accrue for the period from such date to such next succeeding business day.
Ranking
The notes are:
| general unsecured obligations of ours; |
| effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness of ours to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; |
| structurally subordinated to all future indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and lease obligations) of our future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes; |
| equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of ours; |
| senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of ours; and |
| unconditionally guaranteed by Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. on a senior basis. |
No subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott other than Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. guarantee the notes, and as a result the notes are to be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of Warner Chilcotts subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.
After giving effect to the offering of the notes (but not to the Cash Bridge Facility, or the completion of the Acquisition, Warner Chilcott would have had, on a pro forma basis, approximately $44.2 billion of consolidated indebtedness as of December 31, 2014. The total pro forma outstanding indebtedness of Warner Chilcotts
S-58
consolidated subsidiaries (other than Actavis SCS) that do not guarantee the notes would have been approximately $6,675.8 billion as of December 31, 2014. See Unaudited pro forma combined financial information for pro forma indebtedness of Warner Chilcott after giving effect to the completion of the Acquisition.
We are a holding company with no material assets. Warner Chilcotts, Actavis Capitals, and Actavis, Inc.s assets generally are held by, and their operations generally are conducted through, their subsidiaries. Warner Chilcotts, Actavis Capitals and Actavis, Inc.s subsidiaries are not obligated to make funds available to us or them to satisfy our or their obligations, including our or their obligations with respect to the notes. Our ability to service the notes will depend primarily on our receipt of interest and principal payments on account of intercompany loans owing to us from other subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott.
The new notes will be issued in fully registered form only, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The new notes will be issued in the form of one or more global securities, without coupons, which will be deposited initially with, or on behalf of, DTC.
Guarantees
The notes and our obligations under the indenture will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. The term Guarantor refers to Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc., each as a guarantor of the notes, and the term Guarantee refers to each such persons guarantee of the notes.
Each Guarantee of the notes will be:
| a general unsecured obligation of the Guarantor; |
| effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness of that Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; |
| structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and lease obligations) of subsidiaries of that Guarantor that do not guarantee the notes; |
| equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness of that Guarantor; and |
| senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of that Guarantor. |
Claims of creditors of the subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott that do not guarantee the notes, including trade creditors and creditors holding debt and guarantees issued by such subsidiaries, and claims of preferred stockholders (if any) of those subsidiaries generally will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such subsidiaries over the claims of our creditors and the creditors of the Guarantors, including holders of the notes.
The Guarantees will terminate and the Guarantors will be deemed released from all of their obligations under the indenture upon covenant defeasance as provided under Description of Actavis Funding SCS debt securitiesDefeasanceCovenant defeasance in the accompanying prospectus or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as provided under Description of Actavis Funding SCS DebtDefeasanceSatisfaction and discharge in the accompanying prospectus. Any release described in this paragraph may be evidenced by a supplemental indenture or other instrument, which may be entered into without the consent of any holders of notes.
S-59
The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law.
Special mandatory redemption
If Actavis plc does not consummate the Allergan Acquisition on or prior to November 30, 2015, or the Merger Agreement is terminated any time prior to such date other than as a result of consummating the Acquisition, then we will be required to redeem each series of the outstanding notes on the special mandatory redemption date at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date. The special mandatory redemption date means the earlier to occur of (1) December 31, 2015, if the Acquisition has not been consummated on or prior to November 30, 2015, or (2) the 30th day (or if such day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) following the termination of the Merger Agreement other than as a result of consummating the Acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to the special mandatory redemption date will be payable on such interest payment dates to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record dates in accordance with the notes and the indenture. The offering is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Allergan Acquisition.
We will cause the notice of special mandatory redemption to be mailed, with a copy to the trustee, within five business days after the occurrence of the event triggering the special mandatory redemption to each holder at its registered address. If funds sufficient to pay the special mandatory redemption price of the notes to be redeemed on the special mandatory redemption date are deposited with the trustee or a paying agent on or before such special mandatory redemption date, and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such special mandatory redemption date, the notes will cease to bear interest.
Optional redemption
Floating rate notes
The floating rate notes may not be redeemed at our option prior to their stated maturities, except in the case of certain changes in withholding tax laws. See Optional redemption for changes in withholding taxes for a description of the optional redemption of the notes in the event of certain tax developments.
Fixed rate notes
We have the right to redeem the fixed rate notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, on at least 15 days but no more than 60 days prior written notice mailed to the registered holders of the notes to be redeemed.

(1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, and
(2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of the notes to be redeemed, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points in the case of
S-60
each of the 2017 notes, the 2018 notes and the 2020 notes, 25 basis points in the case of the 2022 notes, 30 basis points in the case of each of the 2025 notes and the 2035 notes and 35 basis points in the case of the 2045 notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
In addition, we have the right to redeem the 2020 notes on or after February 12, 2020 (1 month prior to their maturity date), the 2022 notes on or after January 15, 2022 (2 months prior to their maturity date), the 2025 notes on or after December 15, 2024 (3 months prior to their maturity date), the 2035 notes on or after September 15, 2034 (6 months prior to their maturity date) and the 2045 notes on or after September 15, 2044 (6 months prior to their maturity date), in each case, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, on at least 15 days but no more than 60 days prior written notice mailed to the registered holders of the notes to be redeemed, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding paragraphs, installments of interest on the fixed rate notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to such notes and the indenture.
If less than all of any series of fixed rate notes are to be redeemed, the notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the trustee on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of notes issued in global form as discussed under Book-entry; delivery and form, based on a method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the trustee deems fair and appropriate) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements. Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Except as described above and in the case of certain changes in withholding tax laws, the fixed rate notes will not be redeemable at our option prior to maturity.

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to any series of notes, unless we have redeemed the relevant series of notes in full, we will make an offer to each holder (the Change of Control Offer) of such notes to repurchase any and all (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such holders notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the Change of Control Payment). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, we will be required to mail a notice to holders of the relevant notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase their notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 15 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the Change of Control Payment Date), pursuant to the procedures required by the notes and described in such notice. We must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control (as defined below), conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a
S-61
definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control repurchase provisions of the notes, we will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of Control repurchase provisions of the notes by virtue of such conflicts.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, with respect to any series of notes, we will be required, to the extent lawful, to:
| accept for payment all notes or portions of notes of such series properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; |
| prior to 10:00 a.m. New York city time, deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes of such series properly tendered; and |
| deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes of such series properly accepted, together with an officers certificate stating (1) the aggregate principal amount of such notes or portions of such notes being purchased, (2) that all conditions precedent contained in the indenture of such series of notes to make a Change of Control Offer have been complied with and (3) that the Change of Control Offer has been made in compliance with the indenture of such series of notes. |
Certain covenants
Limitations on liens
Warner Chilcott will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries, including Actavis SCS, the issuer of the notes, and Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc., together with Warner Chilcott, the guarantors of the notes, to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to become effective any Lien (as defined below) (other than permitted Liens) on any property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure any indebtedness of Warner Chilcott, any of its subsidiaries or any indebtedness of any other Person (as defined below), unless Warner Chilcott or such subsidiary also secures all payments due under the indenture, the notes and the Guarantees, on an equal and ratable basis with such other indebtedness so secured (or, in the case of indebtedness subordinated to the notes or the Guarantees, prior or senior thereto, with the same relative priority as the notes and the Guarantees, will have with respect to such subordinated indebtedness) for so long as such other indebtedness shall be so secured.
The indenture contains the following exceptions to the foregoing prohibition:
(a) with respect to each series of notes, Liens existing on the date of first issuance of such notes;
(b) Liens on property owned or leased by a Person existing at the time such Person is merged with or into or consolidated with Warner Chilcott or any subsidiary of Warner Chilcott; provided that such Liens were in existence prior to the contemplation of such merger or consolidation and do not extend to any assets other than those of the Person merged into or consolidated with Warner Chilcott or such subsidiary;
(c) Liens on property existing at the time of acquisition thereof by Warner Chilcott or any subsidiary of Warner Chilcott, provided that such Liens were in existence prior to the contemplation of such acquisition and do not extend to any property other than the property so acquired by Warner Chilcott or such subsidiary;
(d) Liens to secure indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of or within 18 months after the acquisition of any property or the completion of the construction, alteration, repair or improvement of any property,
S-62
as the case may be, for the purpose of financing all or a part of the purchase price or cost thereof and Liens to the extent they secure indebtedness in excess of such purchase price or cost and for the payment of which recourse may be had only against such property;
(e) Liens in favor of or required by contracts with governmental entities;
(f) any Lien securing indebtedness of a subsidiary owing to Warner Chilcott or to one or more of Warner Chilcotts subsidiaries;
(g) with respect to each series of notes, any Lien incurred in connection with the Acquisition;
(h) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Lien referred to in clauses (a) through (g) above, inclusive, so long as (1) the principal amount of the indebtedness secured thereby does not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness so secured at the time of the extension, renewal or replacement (except that, where an additional principal amount of indebtedness is incurred to provide funds for the completion of a specific project, the additional principal amount, and any related financing costs, may be secured by the Lien as well) and (2) the Lien is limited to the same property subject to the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (and improvements on the property); and
(i) any Lien that would not otherwise be permitted by clauses (a) through (h) above, inclusive, securing indebtedness which, together with:
| the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all other indebtedness of Warner Chilcott and its subsidiaries owning property which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions absent this clause (i), and |
| the aggregate Value (as defined below) of existing Sale and Leaseback Transactions (as defined below) which would be subject to the foregoing restrictions absent this clause (i), |
does not exceed the greater of $750 million or 15% of Warner Chilcotts Consolidated Net Worth (as defined below).
Limitation on sale and leaseback transactions
Warner Chilcott will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless:
(a) Warner Chilcott or such subsidiary could incur indebtedness, in a principal amount at least equal to the Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, secured by a Lien on the property to be leased (without equally and ratably securing the notes and the Guarantees) because such Lien would be of a character that no violation of the covenant described under Limitations on liens above would result; or
(b) Warner Chilcott applies, during the six months following the effective date of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, an amount equal to the Value of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction to the voluntary retirement of Funded Debt (as defined below) or to the acquisition of property.
Merger, amalgamation, consolidation or sale of assets
The indenture provides that none of we, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or, solely to the extent the successor Person thereto or the acquiring Person, as applicable, would be a subsidiary of Actavis plc, Actavis, Inc. will consolidate with, merge with or into, amalgamate with, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of
S-63
all or substantially all of its or its subsidiaries property and assets taken as a whole (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to, any Person, or permit any Person to merge with or into us, or amalgamate with us, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or Actavis, Inc., as applicable, unless:
(a) we, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or Actavis, Inc., as applicable, shall be the continuing Person, or the Person (if other than us, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or Actavis, Inc., as applicable) formed by such consolidation or into which such entity is merged (or the resulting amalgamated company), or that acquired or leased such property and assets (the Surviving Person), shall be a corporation, company, partnership, limited liability company or trust organized and validly existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Ireland, Bermuda, Puerto Rico or the United States or a political subdivision thereof, and shall in any such case expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee, all of such entitys obligations under the indenture and the notes;
(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default (each as defined in the indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(c) we deliver to the trustee an officers certificate and opinion of counsel, in each case stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture complies with this provision and that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied with.
The Surviving Person (if other than us, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or, solely to the extent the Surviving Person would be a subsidiary of Actavis plc, Actavis, Inc.) shall expressly assume, in accordance with clause (a) above, the rights and obligations of, and succeed to and, except in the case of a lease, be substituted for, us, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or, solely to the extent the Surviving Person would be a subsidiary of Actavis plc, Actavis, Inc., as applicable, under the indenture, the notes and Guarantee, as applicable.
Although these types of transactions are permitted under the indenture, certain of the foregoing transactions could constitute a Change of Control, permitting each holder to require us to repurchase the notes of such holder, as described under Repurchase upon a change of control above.
Reports to holders
Warner Chilcott will:
(a) file with the trustee, within 30 days after Warner Chilcott is required to file the same with the SEC, copies of the annual and quarterly reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which Warner Chilcott may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided that availability of such reports on a website maintained by the SEC shall be deemed to fulfill this requirement or, if at any time Warner Chilcott is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will file with the Trustee and the SEC, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports that may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in respect of a debt security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations;
(b) file with the trustee and the SEC, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by Warner Chilcott with the conditions and covenants of the indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and
S-64
(c) transmit to all holders, as their names and addresses appear in the security register within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the extent provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), such summaries of any information, documents and reports (if not publicly filed on the SECs Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system or on such other publicly available electronic filing medium as may be established by the SEC) required to be filed by Warner Chilcott pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC.
If at any time Actavis plc (or a successor thereto) is the direct or indirect parent company of Warner Chilcott, then the reports, information and other documents required to be furnished to holders of the notes pursuant to this covenant may, at our option, be furnished by and be those of Actavis plc (or its successor) rather than Warner Chilcott; provided that a reasonably detailed description of any material differences between Actavis plcs financial information and Warner Chilcotts financial information will be provided in each annual and quarterly report. Any report required to be furnished under this covenant will be deemed furnished upon public filing with the SEC.
Holding company status
For so long as the applicable series of notes are outstanding, no subsidiary of Actavis that, directly or indirectly through any other subsidiary, owns any Equity Interests (as defined below) in Warner Chilcott (other than any such subsidiary of Actavis that fully and unconditionally guarantees the notes) will and, unless Actavis provides a guarantee of such notes, Actavis (each such subsidiary and, as long as applicable, Actavis, the Passive Holding Companies) will not, conduct, transact or otherwise engage in any active trade or business or operations other than through a subsidiary of Warner Chilcott; provided that the foregoing will not prohibit any Passive Holding Company from the following: (i) ownership of Equity Interests of Warner Chilcott or in one or more subsidiaries of Actavis that are Passive Holding Companies, (ii) the maintenance of its legal existence and, with respect to Actavis, its status as a public company (including the ability to incur fees, costs and expenses relating to such maintenance), (iii) the performance of its obligations with respect to any indebtedness in respect of which it is an obligor and any other agreement to which it is a party, (iv) with respect to Actavis, any offering of its common stock or any other Equity Interests (including any mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and any equity-linked securities) or, with respect to any Passive Holding Company other than Actavis, any other issuance of its Equity Interests, (v) the making of payments on account of its Equity Interests or any subordinated debt, (vi) the incurrence of indebtedness, (vii) the making of contributions to (or other equity investments in) the capital of its direct subsidiaries (which will be Passive Holding Companies or Warner Chilcott), (viii) the creation of, and ownership of the Equity Interests in, any a newly formed subsidiary with capitalization of less than $1,000,000 that is formed solely for the purpose of consummating an acquisition by Actavis so long as, within twelve months such newly formed subsidiary merges with and into a target entity and the survivor thereof becomes a direct or indirect subsidiary of Warner Chilcott or its subsidiaries, (ix) providing a guarantee of indebtedness or other obligations of Actavis or any of its subsidiaries, (x) participating in tax, accounting and other administrative matters as a member or parent of the consolidated group, (xi) holding any cash or cash equivalents (including cash and cash equivalents received in connection with dividends or distributions from Warner Chilcott or its subsidiaries) and any other assets on a temporary basis that are in the process of being transferred through such Passive Holding Company as part of a downstream contribution or an upstream distribution or other upstream payment (e.g., a spin-off of assets), (xii) providing indemnification to officers and directors, (xiii) the ownership or disposition of assets that are permitted to be held by it in accordance with this covenant and (xiv) activities incidental to the businesses or activities described above.
Certain other covenants
The indenture contains certain other covenants regarding, among other matters, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the applicable notes, maintenance of a payment office, delivering of
S-65
compliance certificates and payment of taxes. The indenture does not contain restrictive covenants relating to total indebtedness, interest coverage, stock repurchases, recapitalizations, dividends and distributions to shareholders or current ratios. Other than as described above, the provisions of the indenture will not afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a sudden or significant decline in our credit quality or in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or highly leveraged or similar transaction involving us or any of our affiliates that may adversely affect such holders.
Definition of certain terms
Set forth below are certain defined terms used in this Description of the Notes and the Indenture.
Below Investment Grade Rating Event means, with respect to any series of notes, that such series of notes is rated below Investment Grade Rating by both of the Rating Agencies on any date commencing upon the first public notice by us of the occurrence of a Change of Control or our intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of such series of notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies).
Capital Lease Obligation means, at the time any determination thereof is to be made, the amount of the liability in respect of a capital lease that would at that time be required to be capitalized on a balance sheet in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or to the extent that IFRS has been adopted by Warner Chilcott with respect to its financial statements in lieu of U.S. GAAP, in accordance with IFRS; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, leases will be accounted for using accounting principles as in effect on the date on which we first issue notes securities pursuant to the indenture.
Change of Control means the occurrence of any of the following:
(1) direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of Actavis and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than Actavis or one of its subsidiaries;
(2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger, amalgamation or consolidation) as a result of which any person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of Actavis outstanding voting stock or other voting stock into which Actavis voting stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; provided, however, that a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (a) Actavis becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b)(i) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of Actavis voting stock immediately prior to that transaction or (ii) no person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting power of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following such transaction;
(3) Actavis consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, any person or group (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or any person or group consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, Actavis, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of Actavis voting stock or the voting stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of Actavis voting
S-66
stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the voting stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction;
(4) we shall cease to be a direct or indirect subsidiary of Actavis, Warner Chilcott or Actavis Capital;
(5) Warner Chilcott or Actavis Capital shall cease to be a direct or indirect subsidiary of Actavis; or
(6) the adoption of a plan relating to Actavis liquidation or dissolution.
For purposes of this definition, voting stock means with respect to any specified person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) capital stock of any class or kind the holders of which are ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies, entitled to vote for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such person, even if the right to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency.
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of Actavis and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase substantially all, there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the applicability of the requirement that we offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of Actavis and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person or group may be uncertain.
Change of Control Triggering Event means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.
Comparable Treasury Issue means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity (actual or interpolated) comparable to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed.
Comparable Treasury Price means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, on the third business day preceding such redemption date, as contained in the daily statistical release, or any successor release, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities or (2) if the release, or any successor release, is not published or does not contain these prices on that business day, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if we obtain fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all of these quotations.
Consolidated Net Worth means, with respect to any Person, the amount of total assets less the amount of total liabilities as shown on the consolidated balance sheet of such Perso
