RESPONSE TO ELAN’S “CATEGORICAL VIEW ON VALUE”

Commenting  on  Elan’s  announcement  of  last  night,  Pablo  Legorreta,  Chief  Executive  Officer  of Royalty Pharma, said: “In its announcement, Elan’s Board makes the unrealistic claim that the Tysabri royalty it owns is worth between $6.1 billion and $6.6 billion*. Elan shareholders should ask themselves, if this is true, why did Elan sell approximately half of the Tysabri economics that it owned to Biogen in February 2013 for $3.25 billion, 29% less than the $4.6 billion value implied by Royalty Pharma’s offer, and 46% to 51% less than what the Elan Board is now claiming the other half is worth? The only thing that has occurred since Elan's Tysabri sale to Biogen is the very successful launch of Biogen's competitive drug Tecfidera. We will have further comment on Elan’s valuation claims in the coming days.”

* Based on Elan value range for Tysabri of US$11.85-13.00 per share

J.P. Morgan, together with its affiliate J.P. Morgan Cazenove, BofA Merrill Lynch, together with its affiliate Merrill Lynch International, and Groton Partners are acting as financial advisers to Royalty Pharma.

FURTHER INFORMATION

The distribution of this announcement in, into, or from, certain jurisdictions other than Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States may be restricted or affected by the laws of those jurisdictions. Accordingly, copies of this announcement are not being, and must not be, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into, or from any such jurisdiction. Therefore persons who receive this announcement (including without limitation nominees, trustees and custodians) and are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States who are not resident in Ireland, the United Kingdom or the United States will need to inform themselves about, and observe any applicable restrictions or requirements. Any failure to do so may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Additional Notice to US Investors

This announcement is not a substitute for the Revised Offer Document and the Revised Acceptance Documents that Royalty Pharma filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO on May 23, 2013, or any other document that Royalty Pharma has filed and may file with the SEC (including the Original Offer Document) in connection with the Offer. ELAN STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ ANY SUCH DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE INCREASED OFFER. Any such documents will be available free of charge through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to any of the persons listed above.

The Offer is and will be made in the United States pursuant to the US Exchange Act subject to certain exemptive relief which has been granted in respect of the Offer by the SEC and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of the Irish Takeover Rules. Accordingly, the Offer will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments that may be different from those typically applicable under U.S. domestic tender offer procedures and law. In addition, the Original Offer Document, the Revised Offer Document and any other documents relating to the Offer have been or will be prepared in accordance with the Irish Takeover Rules and Irish disclosure requirements, format and style, all of which may differ from those in the United States.

Elan is incorporated under the laws of Ireland. Some of the directors of Elan are resident in countries other than the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for United States holders of Elan Stock to effect service of process within the United States upon Elan or such directors of Elan or to enforce against any of them judgements of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. It may not be possible to sue Elan or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. In addition, US holders of Elan Stock should be aware that, if Royalty Pharma elects to proceed pursuant to a scheme of arrangement (as described in the Original Offer Document and to be described in the Revised Offer Document), the federal securities laws of the United States may not be applicable.

Forward-looking Statements
 
 
 

 

This announcement may include certain “forward looking statements” with respect to the business, strategy and plans of Royalty Pharma and its expectations relating to the Increased Offer and Elan’s future financial condition and performance. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Elan or Royalty Pharma or Royalty Pharma’s belief and expectation, are forward looking statements. Words such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “expects”, “intends”, “aims”, “potential”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “considered”, “likely”, and variations of these words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their nature, forward looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend upon future circumstances that may or may not occur.

Examples of such forward looking statements include (but are not limited to) statements about expected benefits and risks associated with the Increased Offer; projections or expectations of profit attributable to shareholders; anticipated provisions or write-downs, economic profit, dividends, capital structure or any other financial items or ratios; statements of plans, objectives or goals of Elan, the Elan Group, RP Management or Royalty Pharma following the Increased Offer; statements about the future trends in interest rates, liquidity, foreign exchange rates, stock market levels and demographic trends and any impact that those matters may have on Elan, the Elan Group, RP Management or Royalty Pharma following the Increased Offer; statements concerning any future Irish, US or other economic environment or performance; statements about strategic goals, competition, regulation, regulatory approvals, dispositions and consolidation or technological or regulatory developments; and statements of assumptions underlying such statements.

Forward looking statements only speak as of the date on which they are made, and the events discussed in this announcement may not occur. Subject to compliance with applicable law and regulation, Royalty Pharma is not under any obligation to update publicly or revise forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Rule 8 - Dealing Disclosure Requirements

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules, if any person is, or becomes, “interested” (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of “relevant securities” of Elan, all “dealings” in any “relevant securities” of Elan (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such “relevant securities”) must be publicly disclosed by not later than 3.30 pm (Irish time) on the “business day” following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the Increased Offer becomes or is declared unconditional as to acceptances or lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the Offer Period otherwise ends. If two or more persons co-operate on the basis of any agreement, either express or tacit, either oral or written, to acquire an

“interest” in “relevant securities” of Elan, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of

Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Irish Takeover Rules, all “dealings” in “relevant securities” of Elan by Elan or Royalty Pharma, or by any of their respective “associates” must also be disclosed by no later than 12 noon (Irish time) on the “business day” following the date of the relevant transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose “relevant securities” “dealings” should be disclosed can be found on the Irish Takeover Panel’s website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie.

“Interests in securities” arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated
 
 
 

 
 
as having an “interest” by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
 
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Irish Takeover Rules, which can be found on the Irish Takeover Panel’s website.

If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a “dealing” under Rule 8, please consult the Irish Takeover Panel’s website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie or contact the Irish Takeover Panel on telephone number +353 (0)1 678 9020; fax number +353 (0)1 678 9289.

No statement in this announcement constitutes a profit forecast for any period, nor should any statement be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share will necessarily be greater or lesser than those for the relevant preceding financial periods for Royalty Pharma, RP Management or Elan as appropriate. No statement in this announcement constitutes an asset valuation.

Capitalized Terms

All capitalized terms in this announcement shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Revised Offer Document that Royalty Pharma filed with the SEC on Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO on May 23, 2013, unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified.

ROYALTY PHARMA RESPONSE TO ELAN’S “CATEGORICAL VIEW ON VALUE”
 
NEW YORK – 30 May 2013 – Commenting on Elan’s (NYSE: ELN) announcement of last night, Pablo Legorreta, Chief Executive Officer of Royalty Pharma, said: “In its announcement, Elan’s Board makes the unrealistic claim that the Tysabri royalty it owns is worth between $6.1 billion and $6.6 billion*. Elan shareholders should ask themselves, if this is true, why did Elan sell approximately half of the Tysabri economics that it owned to Biogen in February 2013 for $3.25 billion, 29% less than the $4.6 billion value implied by Royalty Pharma’s offer, and 46% to 51% less than what the Elan Board is now claiming the other half is worth? The only thing that has occurred since Elan's Tysabri sale to Biogen is the very successful launch of Biogen's competitive drug Tecfidera. We will have further comment on Elan’s valuation claims in the coming days.”
 
*Based on Elan’s value range for Tysabri of US$11.85-13.00 per share
 
J.P. Morgan, together with its affiliate J.P. Morgan Cazenove, BofA Merrill Lynch, together with its affiliate Merrill Lynch International, and Groton Partners are acting as financial advisers to Royalty Pharma.

STATEMENT REGARDING ROYALTY PHARMA OFFER FOR ELAN

In its announcement dated 30 May 2013 recommending that Elan shareholders vote “NO” on each of the resolutions at the Elan Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 17 June 2013 (“Elan EGM” ), Royalty Pharma stated that it will withdraw its Increased Offer if either the Theravance transaction or the AOP acquisition is approved at the Elan EGM.

In the announcement made by Royalty Pharma on 20 May 2013 and in the Revised Offer Document issued by it on 23 May 2013, Royalty Pharma stated that it will lapse the Increased Offer if any of the transactions to be voted on at the Elan EGM are approved. In accordance with the Circular to Elan shareholders issued by Elan on 27 May 2013, the transactions to be voted on by Elan shareholders at the Elan EGM (the Theravance transaction, the AOP transaction, the ELND005 transaction and the Share Repurchase Program) are to be presented in separate resolutions to Elan shareholders for approval. Consequently, certain of those resolutions may be approved while others are disapproved.

Accordingly, while Royalty Pharma will lapse its Increased Offer if either the Theravance transaction or the AOP transaction is approved, it has sought a ruling from the Irish Takeover Panel to the effect that it will not be obliged to lapse its Increased Offer in the event that either or both of the ELND005 transaction or the Share Repurchase Program are approved. Royalty Pharma will update the market once the Irish Takeover Panel has made its decision in this regard.


J.P. Morgan, together with its affiliate J.P. Morgan Cazenove, BofA Merrill Lynch, together with its affiliate Merrill Lynch International, and Groton Partners are acting as financial advisers to Royalty Pharma.

Further information relating to the Increased Offer, including all announcements issued by or on behalf of Royalty Pharma, is available at www.royaltypharma.com.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules, if any person is, or becomes, “interested” (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of “relevant securities” of Elan, all “dealings” in any “relevant securities” of Elan (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such “relevant securities”) must be publicly disclosed by not later than 3.30 pm (Irish time) on the “business day” following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the Increased Offer becomes or is declared unconditional as to acceptances or lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the Offer Period otherwise ends. If two or more persons co-operate on the basis of any agreement, either express or tacit, either oral or written, to acquire an “interest” in “relevant securities” of Elan, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules.
 
 
 

 

 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Irish Takeover Rules, all “dealings” in “relevant securities” of Elan by Elan or Royalty Pharma, or by any of their respective “associates” must also be disclosed by no later than 12 noon (Irish time) on the “business day” following the date of the relevant transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose “relevant securities” “dealings” should be disclosed can be found on the Irish Takeover Panel’s website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie.

“Interests in securities” arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an “interest” by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Irish Takeover Rules, which can be found on the Irish Takeover Panel’s website.

If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a “dealing” under Rule 8, please consult the Irish Takeover Panel’s website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie or contact the Irish Takeover Panel on telephone number +353 (0)1 678 9020; fax number +353 (0)1 678 9289.
