Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 5 and 6, 2014, PDL BioPharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange and purchase agreements under which it will retire $131,689,000 in aggregate principal of the Company’s outstanding 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”). The exchange agreements provide for the issuance, by the Company, of shares of common stock and a cash payment for the 2015 Notes being exchanged, and the purchase agreement provides for a cash payment for the 2015 Notes being repurchased. The Company will issue a total of 20,293,751 shares of its common stock and pay an aggregate cash payment of $34,237,881.29 pursuant to the exchange and repurchase agreements. Such shares of common stock being issued in exchange for the 2015 Notes were issued in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under Section 4(2) thereof. Consummation of these transactions is conditioned on customary closing conditions and there is no assurance the Company will ultimately consummate the acquisition of any of its 2015 Notes.
