Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 26, 2015, Eli Lilly and Company (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Company and the underwriters named therein, for the issuance and sale by the Company of €600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.000% Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.625% Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.125% Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”, and together with the 2022 Notes and the 2026 Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes are to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated February 1, 1991, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as successor to Citibank, N.A., as trustee, and an officers’ certificate setting forth the terms of the Notes (which includes the forms of Notes as exhibits). The offering of the Notes was registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-186979). The 2022 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.000% per annum, payable annually, and mature on June 2, 2022. The 2026 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.625% per annum, payable annually, and mature on June 2, 2026. The 2030 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 2.125% per annum, payable annually, and mature on June 3, 2030. At the closing of the offering of Notes, which is expected to occur on June 2, 2015, the Company will realize, after deduction of the underwriter’s discount and before deduction of offering expenses, net proceeds of approximately €2,072,719,500.
Upon occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to a series of Notes, the principal amount of the Notes of that series may be declared and become due and payable immediately. The Company may, at its election, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, from time to time at the redemption prices set forth in the Notes. The Company also may, at its election, redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, upon the occurrence of certain tax events at the redemption prices set forth in the Notes. The above description of the Underwriting Agreement and the Notes is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, the officers’ certificate, the Indenture and the forms of the Notes filed as exhibits hereto, which exhibits are incorporated by reference herein.
