OAKVILLE, ON, Oct. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Concordia
International Corp. (Concordia or the Company) (NASDAQ: CXRX) (TSX: CXR), an international pharmaceutical company focused on
legacy pharmaceutical products and orphan drugs, today announced its intention to commence an offering (the "Offering"), subject
to market conditions and other factors, of up to $350 million of new 5 ½ year Senior Secured First
Lien Notes (the "Notes").
Actual terms of the Notes, including interest rate, principal amount and maturity, will depend on market conditions at the
time of pricing.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to strengthen the Company's liquidity position and augment its product
development pipeline beyond the anticipated, and previously disclosed, 60 product launches expected by the fourth quarter of
2018.
Additional information on the Offering will be available on the Company's website on October 6,
2016 at www.concordiarx.com, under "Downloads" in
the Investors section.
Consistent with the Company's internal forecast, the Company expects that its pro forma Adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months
ended September 30, 2016 will decrease relative to pro forma Adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months
ended June 30, 2016 for two primary reasons: (1) the change in the exchange rate between
United Kingdom pounds sterling and the U.S. dollar and (2) competitive pressures on Nilandron®,
Donnatal® and Plaquenil®. Each of these events have been previously disclosed by the Company. The Company's actual results
may differ from these expectations due to our financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may
arise between now and the time financial results for the period are finalized.
