The Notes

 

Issuer:    BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
Ticker / Exchange for Common Stock:    BMRN / NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”)
Trade Date:    October 8, 2013
Settlement Date:    October 15, 2013
Public Offering Price:    100.00% of principal amount
Interest Payment Dates and Record Dates:    Interest will accrue from the Settlement Date or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, and will be payable semiannually in arrears in cash on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning April 15, 2014, to the person in whose name the relevant Note is registered at the close of business on the preceding April 1 or October 1, respectively.
Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock on NASDAQ on October 8, 2013:    $67.25 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”)
Use of Proceeds:   

The Company estimates that the net proceeds will be approximately $658.50 million from the sale of the Notes, or $726.40 million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional Notes in full, after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and offering expenses.

 

The Company intends to use approximately $27.03 million of the net proceeds of the offering to fund payment of the cost of the capped call transactions described below. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, the Company may use a portion of the net


   proceeds from the sale of additional Notes to fund entry into additional capped call transactions. The Company intends to apply the remaining net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital and research and development. The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to reallocate the use of proceeds in response to these and other factors including to fund future business development transactions or the acquisition of other assets. Accordingly, the Company’s management will have significant flexibility in applying these proceeds. Until the Company uses the net proceeds of this offering, it intends to invest the funds in short term, interest bearing instruments or other investment grade securities.

Make-Whole Premium Upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change:   

If a make-whole fundamental change (as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) occurs, the Company will pay a make-whole premium on Notes converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change by increasing the applicable conversion rate on such Notes.

 

The amount of the make-whole premium, if any, will be based on the Common Stock price and the effective date of the make-whole fundamental change. A description of how the make-whole premium will be determined and tables showing the make-whole premium that would apply to the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes, respectively, at various Common Stock prices and make-whole fundamental change effective dates are set forth below under “The 2018 Notes—Adjustment to Shares Delivered Upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change” and “The 2020 Notes—Adjustment to Shares Delivered Upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change”.

Fundamental Change:    If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), except in certain circumstances, each holder will have the option to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of such holder’s Notes. The fundamental change repurchase price will be 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
Capped Call Transactions:    In connection with the pricing of each of the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes, the Company expects to enter into privately-negotiated capped call transactions with respect to 50% of the principal amount of the 2018 Notes and 50% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes with one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates or persons unrelated to this offering (the “hedge counterparties”). The capped call transactions are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to the Common Stock upon conversion of the relevant Notes in excess of the principal amount of such converted Notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions entered into with respect to 50% of the principal amount of each of the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes will initially be, in each case, approximately $121.05, which represents a premium of approximately

 

2


  

80.00% over the Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of such capped call transactions. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, the Company intends to enter into additional capped call transactions with the hedge counterparties with respect to 50% of the principal amount of such additional Notes.

 

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the hedge counterparties (or their affiliates) expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Common Stock concurrently with, and/or purchase the Common Stock shortly after, the pricing of the relevant Notes. These activities could have the effect of increasing, or reducing the size of any decrease in, the price of the relevant Notes and/or the Common Stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the relevant Notes.

 

In addition, the hedge counterparties (or their affiliates) are likely to modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the Common Stock and/or by purchasing or selling the Common Stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the relevant Notes and prior to the maturity of the relevant Notes (and are likely to do so during the settlement averaging period under the relevant capped call transactions, which precedes the maturity date, and on or around any earlier conversion date related to a conversion of the relevant Notes).

 

The effect, if any, of any of these transactions and activities on the market price of the Common Stock or the Notes will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time, but any of these activities could adversely affect the value of the Common Stock, which could affect the value of the Notes and value of the Common Stock, if any, you receive upon conversion of the Notes.

 

For a discussion of the potential impact of any market or other activity by the hedge counterparties or their affiliates in connection with the capped call transactions, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes and Our Common Stock—The capped call transactions may affect the value of the Notes and the common stock” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
