Lundbeck successfully places its first EUR 500 million Eurobond issue

Valby, Denmark, 8 October 2020 - H. Lundbeck A/S (Lundbeck) has successfully placed its first Eurobond issuance in an aggregate principal amount of EUR 500 million (the "Notes") under its EUR 2 billion Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the “Programme”).

The final orderbook was significantly oversubscribed. The Notes are senior unsecured notes with a tenor of seven (7) years maturing 14 October 2027. The Notes will be issued on 14 October 2020. The net proceeds from the first issuance will be used for the partial refinancing of drawdowns previously made under Lundbeck’s existing revolving credit facility. As such, the issuance is leverage-neutral. The Notes carry a fixed coupon of 0.875% per annum and will be listed on Euronext Dublin.

Standard & Poor’s rated the Notes at BBB-, in line with Lundbeck’s company rating of BBB- with stable outlook.

Nordea, Danske Bank, Bank of America and BNP Paribas have been acting as joint bookrunners on the transaction.

About the Programme:

The Programme was established in February 2020 to diversify Lundbeck’s sources of debt funding and to extend its debt maturity profile. The Programme provides a framework for Lundbeck to complete issuances of senior unsecured notes up to an aggregated total of EUR 2 billion.

The Base Prospectus dated 24 February 2020 and the First Supplement dated 1 October 2020, which have been prepared by Lundbeck in connection with the Programme, has been approved by Euronext Dublin and the Central Bank of Ireland and is available to view on Lundbeck’s website, www.lundbeck.com.
