c Convertible notes
 
In accordance with IAS 32 and IAS 39, the 6.5% Convertible Notes was analysed into a debt component and a separate embedded conversion option component. Under IFRS, prior to 28 October 2005, the conversion option in the 6.5% Convertible Notes was classified as a derivative within liabilities and fair valued through the income statement at each reporting period. As a result of the decline in our share price from $27.25 at 1 January 2005 to $7.97 at 28 October 2005, a fair value gain of $1,136.1 million was recorded under IFRS in the year ended 31 December 2005 on the conversion option component of our 6.5% Convertible Notes. The market price of the 6.5% Convertible Notes fell from $381.50 per $100.00 of principal amount at 1 January 2005 to $129.10 per $100.00 of principal amount at 28 October 2005.
 
The finance cost under IFRS for the 6.5% Convertible Notes also included an amortisation charge for the discount between the initial fair value of the debt component of the 6.5% Convertible Notes and the proceeds received on issue of $12.5 million (2005: $12.4 million). This discount under IFRS was determined on the issue date using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible note, and was amortised along with issuance costs up to the original maturity of the notes using the effective interest rate method, such that the discounted carrying value of the debt would accrete to the principal amount over the period to the original maturity date. This initial discount, which reflected the initial fair value of the conversion option, amounted to $128.7 million for the issue as a whole, of which $71.7 million, approximately 55%, related to the remaining principal amount of $254.0 million outstanding at 31 December 2005. Of this $71.7 million, an amount of $46.4 million remained outstanding at 31 December 2005.
 
On 28 October 2005, we removed the cash settlement feature from the Convertible Notes and as a result, the value of the remaining conversion option was fixed as of 28 October 2005 at $91.8 million. It was not subsequently remeasured after this date, and was transferred from liabilities to shareholders’ equity, being the equity portion of a compound financial instrument. This $91.8 million increase in shareholders’ equity represented the initial fair value of $71.1 million of the conversion option (initial fair value discount on the debt) on the remaining $254.0 million of principal amount of the 6.5% Convertible Notes, plus the increasing of shareholders’ equity, upon the removal of the cash settlement feature, for the net cumulative mark-to-market loss of $20.7 million on the remaining principal amount (that had previously been expensed to shareholders’ equity). As described above, the $71.1 million was being amortised to interest expense over the period to the maturity date using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate of the 6.5% Convertible Notes was 15.9%. Of this $71.1 million, $46.4 million remained unamortised at 31 December 2005.
 
Under US GAAP, there is no separate recognition of the conversion option, as it was deemed to be clearly and closely related to the debt instrument. As a result, there was no fair value movement on the US GAAP income statement, nor an additional

finance charge for the discount arising on separation of the instrument. Timing differences may also arise on net gains/(charges) on debt retirements, since under US GAAP such gains/(charges) are recorded only as such transactions occur, whereas the requirement under IFRS to fair value the conversion option during each period means that such gains/(charges) may have been partially recorded in prior period(s). Consequently, the net charge on debt retirement related to the 6.5% Convertible Notes in 2005 was $31.6 million higher under US GAAP than under IFRS.
 
The difference in shareholders’ equity of $46.4 million between US GAAP and IFRS at 31 December 2005 represented the remaining unamortised initial fair value discount. This difference was eliminated to $Nil when the remaining 6.5% Convertible Notes were converted or redeemed in December 2006.

6.5% Convertible Notes
 
In November 2003, we completed the offering and sale of $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Convertible Notes, issued by Elan Capital Corporation, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and guaranteed by Elan Corporation, plc. The 6.5% Convertible Notes were due to mature on November 10, 2008.
 
Holders of the 6.5% Convertible Notes had the right to convert the notes into fully-paid American Depository Shares (ADSs) at a conversion price of $7.42 at any time up to November 10, 2008 or seven trading days preceding the date of redemption if the notes were called for redemption.
 
We had the right, at any time after December 1, 2006, to redeem all or part of the 6.5% Convertible Notes then outstanding at par, with interest accrued to the redemption date provided that, within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending five trading days prior to the date on which the relevant notice of redemption is published, the official closing price per share of the ADSs on the NYSE for 20 trading days shall have been at least 150% of the conversion price deemed to be in effect on each of such trading days. Interest was paid in cash semi-annually.
 
In June 2005, we retired $206.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.5% Convertible Notes, which was purchased for approximately $255.0 million at an average premium of approximately 4% to the market price of the 6.5% Convertible Notes at the date of purchase. The consideration was satisfied with the issuance of 27,762,801 ADSs at the debt conversion price of $7.42, together with $49.1 million in cash and accrued interest of $0.7 million. As a result of the retirement, we incurred a net charge of $54.9 million.
 
In November 2006, we called for early redemption of the remaining $254.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.5% Convertible Notes. Holders of approximately $253.6 million of Convertible Notes elected to convert their Convertible Notes, prior to the redemption date, into our ADSs or ordinary shares at the Convertible Notes conversion price of $7.42 per ADS or ordinary share. As a result of the conversion, approximately 34.2 million ADSs or ordinary shares were issued. The remaining $0.4 million of outstanding Convertible

Holders of the 6.5% Convertible Notes have the right to convert the notes into fully-paid American Depository Shares (ADSs) at a conversion price of $7.42 at any time up to 10 November 2008 or seven trading days preceding the date of redemption if the notes are called for redemption.
We may, at any time after 1 December 2006, redeem all or part of the 6.5% Convertible Notes then outstanding at par, with interest accrued to the redemption date provided that, within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending five trading days prior to the date on which the relevant notice of redemption is published, the official closing price per share of the ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for 20 trading days shall have been at least 150% of the conversion price deemed to be in effect on each of such trading days.
In June 2005, we retired $206.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6.5% Convertible Notes, which was purchased for approximately $255.0 million at an average premium of approximately 4% to the market price of the 6.5% Convertible Notes at the date of purchase. The consideration was satisfied with the issuance of 27,762,801 ADSs at the debt conversion price of $7.42, together with $49.1 million in cash and accrued interest of $0.7 million. As a result of the retirement, we incurred a net charge of $23.3 million, including $5.1 million for the write-off of deferred financing costs.
From the date of adoption of IAS 32 and IAS 39 on 1 January 2005 to 28 October 2005, when the cash settlement provision that existed on issue was revoked, the conversion option component of the 6.5% Convertible Notes was deemed a liability and was marked-to-market through the income statement, consistent with the accounting for other derivative assets and derivative liabilities.
As a result of the decline in our share price from $27.25 at 1 January 2005 to $7.97 at 28 October 2005, a fair value gain of $1,136.1 million was recorded in the year ended 31 December 2005 (2004: $Nil) on the conversion option component of our 6.5% Convertible Notes. The market price of the 6.5% Convertible Notes fell from $381.50 per $100.00 of principal amount at 1 January 2005 to $129.10 per $100.00 of principal amount at 28 October 2005.
From 28 October 2005, when the cash settlement option was revoked, the conversion option was recognised as the equity component of a compound financial instrument and included as part of shareholders’ equity and will not be subsequently

remeasured. The value of the option is fixed at $91.8 million as of 28 October 2005. This $91.8 million increase in shareholders’ equity represents the initial fair value of $71.1 million of the conversion option (initial fair value discount on the debt) on the remaining $254.0 million of principal amount of the 6.5% Convertible Notes, plus the increasing of shareholders’ equity, upon the removal of the cash settlement feature, for the net cumulative mark-to-market loss of $20.7 million on the remaining principal amount (that had previously been expensed to shareholders’ equity). The initial $71.1 million adjustment to the carrying value of the 6.5% Convertible Notes is being amortised to interest expense over the period to the maturity date using the effective interest rate method as further described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The effective interest rate of the 6.5% Convertible Notes is 15.9%. Of this $71.1 million, $46.4 million remains unamortised at 31 December 2005.
Interest is paid in cash semi-annually. Interest charged and finance costs amortised in the year ending 31 December 2005 amounted to $36.8 million (2004: $33.2 million). At 31 December 2005, interest accrued was $2.3 million (2004: $4.1 million).
The outstanding principal amount of the 6.5% Convertible Notes was $254.0 million at 31 December 2005 (2004: $460.0 million), and has been recorded net of unamortised financing and effective interest costs of $5.1 million (2004: $12.6 million) and $46.4 million (2004: $Nil) remaining unamortised initial fair value discount. There was no unamortised initial fair value discount at 31 December 2004 since we adopted IAS 32 and IAS 39 on 1 January 2005, as permitted by IFRS 1.
