Teva Announces Proposed Public Offerings of American Depositary Shares and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares in Connection with Pending Acquisition of Actavis Generics

Jerusalem, November 30, 2015 – Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA) announced today that it is commencing concurrent offerings totaling approximately $6.75 billion, consisting of approximately $3.375 billion of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing one Teva ordinary share, and approximately $3.375 billion of its Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares. Final amounts of these securities will be determined based on market and other conditions. Teva intends to use the net proceeds from these offerings towards the cash portion of the purchase price for its previously announced acquisition of Allergan plc’s worldwide generic pharmaceuticals business (“Actavis Generics”), and to pay related fees and expenses, for the pending acquisition of Rimsa or otherwise for general corporate purposes.

These offerings are separate public offerings made by means of separate prospectus supplements and are not contingent on each other, or upon the consummation of the Actavis Generics or Rimsa acquisitions. If for any reason the acquisitions do not close, Teva expects to use the net proceeds from these offerings for general corporate purposes. Teva intends to grant the underwriters in each offering the option to purchase up to an additional 10% of the ADSs and up to an additional 10% of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares, in each case, solely to cover overallotments, if any.

Barclays, BofA Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse, HSBC, Mizuho Securities, RBC Capital Markets and SMBC Nikko are acting as the joint book-running managers for the offerings.

The ADSs and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares are being offered for sale pursuant to a prospectus and related prospectus supplements that constitute a part of Teva’s shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form F-3 on November 30, 2015. Before making an investment, potential investors should read the preliminary prospectus supplements and accompanying base prospectus, together with the information incorporated by reference therein, and the other documents that Teva has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Teva and these offerings. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
