Haleon plc: Update on off-market purchase alongside Pfizer Inc. offering
1 October 2024: Further to its announcement on 30 September 2024, Haleon plc (the "Company" or "Haleon") (LSE/NYSE: HLN) has agreed to make an off-market purchase of 60,526,315 ordinary shares of £0.01 each of the Company from Pfizer Inc. ("Pfizer") pursuant to the terms of the share purchase deed entered into between Haleon and Pfizer that was previously approved by Haleon's shareholders.
The off-market purchase is being made in conjunction with, and subject to the completion of an offering by Pfizer to institutional investors, the results of which have been announced by Pfizer today. The purchase price payable by Haleon to Pfizer for the off-market purchase is £3.80 per ordinary share and the total consideration payable will be approximately £230 million.
The off-market purchase includes 30,161,278 ordinary shares worth approximately £114.6 million in aggregate which will be cancelled and represent the remainder of the £500 million allocated to share buybacks in 2024. As such, Haleon today also announces that it has ended its on-market share buyback programme launched on 1 August 2024.
Separate to the remaining capital allocated to buybacks in 2024, the off-market purchase includes an additional 30,365,037 ordinary shares worth approximately £115.4 million in aggregate that will be held as treasury shares for the purposes of satisfying Haleon's obligations under its existing employee share plans in 2025.
On completion of the off-market purchase and Pfizer's offering to institutional investors, Pfizer's interest in Haleon's issued ordinary shares with voting rights is expected to reduce from approximately 22.6% to approximately 15.0%.
Brian McNamara, Chief Executive Officer of Haleon commented: "Our purchase of shares from Pfizer will successfully deliver on our commitment to return £500 million to shareholders through share buybacks this year, and marks another milestone in Pfizer reducing its stake in Haleon following our listing in July 2022. It's also fully consistent with our capital allocation priorities to drive attractive returns for shareholders, underpinned by a strong investment grade balance sheet."
The Company will make a further announcement upon completion of the off-market purchase.
