DUBLIN, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION
Allergan plc (NYSE: AGN) ("Allergan") announced today that it has notified the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") of its intention to voluntarily withdraw from listing on the NYSE and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") any and all outstanding notes and related guarantees of the following series issued by Allergan Funding SCS, a subsidiary of Allergan: (i) Floating Rate Notes due 2020 (NYSE: AGN20A), (ii) 0.500% Senior Notes due 2021 (NYSE: AGN21), (iii) 1.500% Senior Notes due 2023 (NYSE: AGN23A), (iv) 1.250% Senior Notes due 2024 (NYSE: AGN24A), (v) 2.625% Senior Notes due 2028 (NYSE: AGN28) and (vi) 2.125% Senior Notes due 2029 (NYSE: AGN29) (clauses (i)-(vi) collectively, the "Allergan Funding SCS Notes") in each case, following the consummation of the previously announced proposed acquisition (the "Transaction") of Allergan by AbbVie Inc. ("AbbVie") by means of a scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme") under Chapter 1 of Part 9 of the Irish Companies Act 2014. The proposed delisting of the Allergan Funding SCS Notes and related guarantees is contingent upon the closing of the Transaction, which is subject to, among other conditions, the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. To effect the delisting, Allergan expects Allergan Funding SCS and each guarantor of the Allergan Funding SCS Notes to file a Form 25 in respect of the Allergan Funding SCS Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Allergan reserves the right to delay the filing of the Form 25 or to withdraw such filing for any reason prior to its effectiveness, including, without limitation, in the event that the Transaction is delayed or is not completed for any reason.
Allergan Funding SCS's decision to withdraw the Allergan Funding SCS Notes and related guarantees from listing on the NYSE and from registration under the Exchange Act was based on its determination that, following the completion of the Transaction, Allergan's ordinary shares will also be delisted from the NYSE and removed from registration under the Exchange Act and Allergan will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AbbVie.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements, including with respect to the pending acquisition involving AbbVie and Allergan and AbbVie's, Allergan's and/or the combined group's estimated or anticipated future business, performance and results of operations and financial condition, including estimates, forecasts, targets and plans for AbbVie and, following the acquisition, if completed, the combined group. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "project" and similar expressions, among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the pending acquisition will not be pursued, failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or required financing or to satisfy any of the other conditions to the pending acquisition, adverse effects on the market price of AbbVie's shares of common stock or Allergan's ordinary shares and on AbbVie's or Allergan's operating results because of a failure to complete the pending acquisition, failure to realize the expected benefits of the pending acquisition, failure to promptly and effectively integrate Allergan's businesses, negative effects relating to the announcement of the pending acquisition or any further announcements relating to the pending acquisition or the consummation of the pending acquisition on the market price of AbbVie's shares of common stock or Allergan's ordinary shares, significant transaction costs and/or unknown or inestimable liabilities, potential litigation associated with the pending acquisition, general economic and business conditions that affect the combined companies following the consummation of the pending acquisition, changes in global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax laws, regulations, rates and policies, future business acquisitions or disposals and competitive developments. These forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions and assessments made in light of AbbVie's or, as the case may be, Allergan's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, business strategies, operating environment, future developments and other factors it believes appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. The factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this announcement could cause AbbVie's plans with respect to Allergan or AbbVie's or Allergan's actual results, performance or achievements, industry results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading this announcement are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date of this announcement. Additional information about economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that may affect AbbVie or Allergan is set forth in AbbVie's and Allergan's periodic public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, AbbVie's and Allergan's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and, from time to time, AbbVie's and Allergan's other investor communications, in each case, the contents of which are not incorporated by reference into, nor do they form part of, this announcement.
Any forward-looking statements in this announcement are based upon information available to AbbVie, Allergan and/or their respective board of directors, as the case may be, as of the date of this announcement and, while believed to be true when made, may ultimately prove to be incorrect. Subject to any obligations under applicable law, none of AbbVie, Allergan or any member of their respective board of directors undertakes any obligation to update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, or to conform any forward-looking statement to actual results, future events, or to changes in expectations. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to AbbVie, Allergan or their respective board of directors or any person acting on behalf of any of them are expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
