Except as provided above, the terms and conditions of the Offers remain unchanged.

Teva is engaging in the Offers to proactively manage and optimize its debt capital structure, and to extend the maturity profile of its debt. Teva expects to fund the Offers with the proceeds from the registered public offering of Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Netherlands II B.V., Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Netherlands III B.V. and Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Netherlands IV B.V. of debt securities that commenced concurrently with the Offers and closed on May 28, 2025, with gross proceeds, together with cash on hand, sufficient to fund the Total Consideration for Notes to be purchased pursuant to the Offers.

The respective principal amounts of all series of Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Monday, June 2, 2025 (the “Early Tender Time”) are specified in the table below. Holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time and whose Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will receive the applicable “Total Consideration,” (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), which already includes an early tender premium of $50.00 per $1,000 or €50.00 per €1,000, as applicable, principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers (the “Early Tender Premium”).

The following table sets forth the early results of the Offers:

(1)   The Pool 1 Tender Cap represents the maximum aggregate purchase price in respect of Pool 1 Notes that will be purchased in the Pool 1 Tender Offers. The Pool 2 Tender Cap represents the maximum aggregate purchase price in respect of Pool 2 Notes that will be purchased in the Pool 2 Tender Offers. The Pool 3 Tender Cap represents the maximum aggregate purchase price in respect of Pool 3 Notes that will be purchased in the Pool 3 Tender Offers. The Pool Tender Caps can be increased or decreased at Teva’s sole discretion.
(2)   In order to determine whether the Total Maximum Amount (as defined below) and Pool Tender Caps have been reached, an exchange rate of $1.1443 = €1.00 will be used, as determined at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the date of the Early Tender Time.
(3)   Subject to the Total Maximum Amount, the Pool Tender Caps and proration, the principal amount of each series of Notes that is purchased in each of the Offers will be determined in accordance with the applicable acceptance priority level (in numerical priority order) specified in this column.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offers, Teva expects that it will accept for purchase Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time for a combined aggregate purchase price (exclusive of accrued and unpaid interest but inclusive of tender premium) equal to approximately $2,300,000,000. The settlement for the Notes accepted by Teva in connection with the Early Tender Time is expected to take place on Thursday, June 5, 2025 (the “Initial Settlement Date”). The amount of each series of Notes that is to be purchased on the Initial Settlement Date will be determined in accordance with the acceptance priority levels and the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 19, 2025 (the “Offer to Purchase”), subject in each case to the Total Maximum Amount and the Pool Tender Caps.

The Withdrawal Deadline has passed and has not been extended. Notes tendered pursuant to the Offers may no longer be withdrawn, except as required by law.

The Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated (as it may be extended or earlier terminated, the “Expiration Time”). However, as Teva intends, subject to the terms and conditions of the Offers, to accept for purchase the Total Maximum Amount on the Initial Settlement Date, further tenders of Notes prior to the Expiration Time will not be accepted for purchase.

Teva’s obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set out in the Offer to Purchase.
