Letter of the chairman regarding the bond transaction

For German Version click here

Basel, Switzerland, June 25, 2020

Dear Shareholders, dear Bondholders

By this letter, I wish to inform you about a financial transaction of the Company.

Basilea Pharmaceutica AG ("Basilea") has convertible bonds outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of CHF 200 million ("Existing Bonds"). The Existing Bonds are due in December 2022.

Basilea intends to improve its debt maturity profile by:

  • repurchasing at least CHF 90 million and a maximum of CHF 110 million of the Existing Bonds in a repurchase offer ("Repurchase Offer"); and
  • issuing new convertible bonds ("New Bonds") in the aggregate principal amount of at least CHF 100 million and a maximum of CHF 125 million due in 2027 (subject to an investor put in 2025).

This combined transaction would extend approximately half of Basilea's debt maturity by five years (subject to an investor put in 2025).

The offer to repurchase Existing Bonds and the offer to sell New Bonds are dependent on each other and run in parallel.

The offer price in the Repurchase Offer amounts to 100.50% of the par-value of the Existing Bonds (or CHF 5'025 per Existing Bond with a par-value of CHF 5'000) plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the settlement date. The price is 1.01% above the price of the Existing Bonds as indicated on the website of SIX Swiss Exchange for 23 June 2020, i.e. before announcement of the intention to repurchase Existing Bonds.

The tender offer period during which the Repurchase Offer can be accepted is expected to start on July 10 and end on July 16, 2020, at 4 pm CEST (custodian agents may shorten this deadline for their clients). The settlement of the Repurchase Offer and of the New Bond issue is expected to take place on or about July 28, 2020.

The terms of both the Repurchase Offer and the New Bond issue are subject to jurisdictional restrictions and the terms are set out in separate definitive offer documentation.

Yours sincerely,

Basilea Pharmaceutica AG

Domenico Scala

Chairman of the Board

Brief des Verwaltungsratspräsidenten zur Bondtransaktion

Basel, 25. Juni 2020

Sehr geehrte Aktionäre, sehr geehrte Obligationäre,

Mit diesem Brief möchte ich Sie über eine Finanztransaktion der Gesellschaft informieren.

Basilea Pharmaceutica AG („Basilea“) hat eine Wandelanleihe im Gesamtnennbetrag von CHF 200 Millionen ausstehend („Bestehende Anleihe“). Die Bestehende Anleihe ist im Dezember 2022 fällig.

Basilea beabsichtigt, das Fälligkeitsprofil ihres Fremdkapitals zu verbessern mittels

  • Rückkauf von mindestens CHF 90 Millionen und maximal CHF 110 Millionen der Bestehenden Anleihe in einem Rückkaufsangebot („Rückkaufangebot“); und
  • Ausgabe einer neuen Wandelanleihe („Neue Anleihe“) im Gesamtnennwert von mindestens CHF 100 Millionen und maximal CHF 125 Millionen mit Fälligkeit 2027 (vorbehaltlich einer Put-Option der Anleger im Jahr 2025).

Diese kombinierte Transaktion verlängert die Fälligkeit von ungefähr der Hälfte des Fremdkapitals der Basilea um fünf Jahre (vorbehaltlich einer Put-Option der Anleger im Jahr 2025).

Das Angebot zum Rückkauf eines Teils der bestehenden Anleihe und das Angebot zum Verkauf der Neuen Anleihe sind voneinander abhängig und laufen parallel zueinander.

Der Angebotspreis des Rückkaufangebots beträgt 100.50 % des Nennwerts jeder Obligation der Bestehenden Anleihe (oder CHF 5'025 pro Obligation der Bestehenden Anleihe mit einem Nennwert von CHF 5'000) zuzüglich aufgelaufener und bis zum Abwicklungstag nicht bezahlter Zinsen. Der Preis liegt 1.01 % über dem Kurs der Obligationen der Bestehenden Anleihe, wie er auf der Webseite der SIX Swiss Exchange für den 23. Juni 2020 angegeben ist, d.h. vor der Ankündigung der Absicht, die Bestehende Anleihe zurückzukaufen.

Die Angebotsfrist, in der das Rückkaufangebot angenommen werden kann, beginnt voraussichtlich am 10. Juli und endet am 16. Juli 2020 um 16 Uhr MESZ (Depotbanken können diese Frist für ihre Kunden verkürzen). Die Abwicklung des Rückkaufangebots und der Emission der Neuen Anleihe wird voraussichtlich am oder um den 28. Juli 2020 erfolgen.

Die Bedingungen sowohl des Rückkaufangebots als auch der Emission der Neuen Anleihe unterliegen rechtlichen Beschränkungen. Die Bedingungen sind in einer separaten, endgültigen Angebotsdokumentation dargelegt.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Basilea Pharmaceutica AG

Domenico Scala

Präsident des Verwaltungsrats
