Floating Rate Notes
In November 2004, we also completed the offering and sale of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) due 15 November 2011, also issued by Elan Finance. The Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a rate, adjusted quarterly, equal to three-month London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus 4.0%, except the first interest payment, which bears interest at a rate equal to six-month LIBOR plus 4.0%. Elan Corporation, plc and certain of our subsidiaries have guaranteed the Floating Rate Notes. At any time prior to 15 November 2006, we may redeem the Floating Rate Notes, in whole, but not in part, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may redeem the Floating Rate Notes, in whole or in part, beginning on 15 November 2006 at an initial redemption price of 102% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time after 17 February 2006 and on or prior to 15 November 2007, we may redeem up to 35% of the Floating Rate Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus a premium equal to the interest rate per annum on the Floating Rate Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
