2-Nov-2009

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Completion of Acquisition or Disp


Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Credit Agreement

On October 30, 2009, Warner Chilcott Holdings Company III, Limited, a company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the "Parent Guarantor"), WC Luxco S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) organized under the laws of Luxembourg (the "Luxco Borrower"), Warner Chilcott Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "US Borrower"), Warner Chilcott Company, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Puerto Rico (the "PR Borrower", and together with the Luxco Borrower and the US Borrower, the "Borrowers") entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders (the "Lenders"), Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch as administrative agent, Bank of America Securities LLC as syndication agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as documentation agent, pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to provide senior secured credit facilities (the "Senior Secured Facilities") in an aggregate amount of $3.2 billion comprised of (i) $2.95 billion in aggregate term loan facilities and (ii) a $250.0 million revolving credit facility with a five-year maturity that is available to all Borrowers. The term loan facilities are comprised of (i) a term A facility in the amount of $1.0 billion with a five-year maturity that will be borrowed by the PR Borrower, (ii) a term B facility in the amount of $1.6 billion with a five-and-a-half year maturity ($500.0 million of which will be borrowed by the US Borrower and $1.1 billion of which will be borrowed by the PR Borrower) and (iii) a delayed-draw term loan facility in the amount of $350.0 million, with a five-and-a-half year maturity that will be borrowed, if necessary as described below, by the PR Borrower. The Borrowers borrowed a total of $2.6 billion under the term loan facilities and made no borrowings under the revolving credit facility on October 30, 2009 to fund the PGP Acquisition (defined below).

The Borrowers may use the proceeds (i) of the revolving credit facility for working capital and general corporate purposes and (ii) of the Senior Secured Facilities (other than the delayed-draw term loan facility, as described below) to fund the PGP Acquisition, to consummate the other transactions contemplated thereby and to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith. The commitments in respect of the delayed-draw term loan facility will expire 180 days after the closing of the PGP Acquisition and the proceeds thereof may be used exclusively to discharge the obligations of Warner Chilcott plc ("Warner Chilcott") or its subsidiaries in connection with exercise of the Sanofi Put (as defined below) and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The delayed-draw term facility is mandatorily prepayable if it is drawn and the Sanofi Put is subsequently not exercised, or the proceeds of such facility are in excess of the amount required to satisfy such obligations.

Other material terms of the Senior Secured Facilities are described below.

The revolving credit facility provides for a $20.0 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $50.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. Any swing line loans and letters of credit would reduce the available commitment under the revolving credit facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.


The loans and other obligations under the Senior Secured Facilities (including in respect of hedging agreements and cash management obligations) are
(i) guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor and substantially all of its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions and limitations) and (ii) secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and each guarantor (subject to certain exceptions and limitations).

The loans under the Senior Secured Facilities, other than swing line loans, will bear interest at annual rates, at the Borrowers' option, at either:

• the eurodollar rate generally defined as the sum of (i) the greater of
(a) 2.25% and (b) the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") (by reference to the Reuters Page LIBOR01 service) and (ii) the applicable rate set forth below; or

• a base rate generally defined as the sum (i) the greatest of (a) the prime rate of Credit Suisse, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% and
(c) the eurodollar rate plus 1% and (ii) the applicable rate set forth below.

The applicable rates referred to above are as follows:

• with respect to the loans drawn under the term A facility (i) for eurodollar rate loans, 3.25% and (ii) for base rate loans, 2.25%;

• with respect to loans drawn under the revolving credit facility, the term B facility and the delayed-draw facility, (i) for eurodollar rate loans, 3.50% and (ii) for base rate loans, 2.50%.

All swing line loans will bear interest computed under the base rate formula.

Interest on the Borrowers' loans will be payable quarterly in arrears for base rate loans and at the end of each interest-rate period (but not less often than quarterly) for eurodollar loans.

The Borrowers are required to pay a commitment fee on (i) the unused commitments under the revolving credit facility at the rate of 0.75% per annum, subject to leverage-based step-downs and (ii) the unused commitments under the delayed-draw term facility at the rate of 1.75% per annum. The Borrowers are also required to pay a letter of credit participation fee based upon the aggregate face amount of . . .

Under the Program, Warner Chilcott's named executive officers will receive transaction bonuses as follows: Roger M. Boissonneault, $550,000; each of Paul Herendeen, W. Carl Reichel and Anthony D. Bruno, $250,000; and Izumi Hara, $150,000.
