Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 26, 2013, Shire plc (the “Company”) issued an optional redemption notice under the Trust Deed dated May 9, 2007 (the “Trust Deed”) to holders of the Company’s 2.75% Convertible Bonds due 2014 (the “Convertible Bonds”). As of December 13, 2013, the last day on which holders could exercise their conversion rights, US$1,099,050,000 aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Bonds had been voluntarily converted into fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, with par value of £0.05 each. Convertible Bonds which were not voluntarily converted by holders were redeemed by the Company on December 27, 2013 at par together with interest accrued to that date. As a result of the conversion and the redemption, no Convertible Bonds remain outstanding and the Trust Deed has terminated.
