Viatris Inc. Issues €650M 4.25% Senior Notes Due 2033
What Happened
- Viatris Inc. announced on June 17, 2026 that it completed a public offering of €650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due June 17, 2033. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Viatris and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Mylan Inc., Mylan II B.V. and Utah Acquisition Sub Inc.
- The Notes were issued under an Indenture dated June 17, 2026 (trustee: The Bank of New York Mellon). Interest accrues at 4.250% per year from June 17, 2026, payable annually beginning June 17, 2027.
Key Details
- Offering size: €650,000,000 of 4.250% Senior Notes due June 17, 2033.
- Purpose of proceeds: primarily to fund repayment (in June 2026) of borrowings under Viatris’ revolving credit facility in connection with repaying the full $1.675 billion outstanding principal of Utah Acquisition Sub Inc.’s 3.950% Senior Notes due 2026; any remainder to replenish cash for that repayment and for general corporate purposes.
- Redemption and repurchase features: redeemable before April 17, 2033 at a make‑whole price (greater of 100% or discounted present value plus spread); redeemable on/after April 17, 2033 at 100% of principal. If certain change‑of‑control events occur, Viatris must offer to repurchase notes at 101% of principal plus accrued interest.
- Covenants and events of default: the Indenture contains customary covenants limiting certain sale‑leaseback transactions, creation of liens, certain subsidiary guarantees and the Company’s ability to consolidate, merge or sell substantially all assets; customary events of default permit acceleration of the notes.
Why It Matters
- This transaction creates a new long‑term debt obligation (€650M) for Viatris and was taken to refinance the company’s near‑term $1.675B 2026 notes, altering the timing and currency mix of its debt maturities.
- For investors, the move reduces near‑term refinancing pressure by pushing a significant maturity out to 2033, but it increases outstanding long‑term debt and locks in a 4.25% coupon; the Indenture’s covenants and default provisions are standard but could affect flexibility for future financings or transactions.
