(the “Issuer”), its previously announced offering of an aggregate of CHF 450,000,000 of 1.5 per cent Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”). The Notes are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by Teva pursuant to the terms of a Guarantee dated as of April 25, 2012 (the “Guarantee”). The Notes were sold to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
