Floating Rate Note due 2022

 

No. [●]    $[●]

CARDINAL HEALTH, INC., an Ohio corporation (the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, at the office or agency of the Issuer in Columbus, Ohio, the principal sum of [●] DOLLARS ($[●]) on June 15, 2022, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and to pay interest, quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, commencing September 15, 2017 until June 15, 2022, on said principal sum at said office or agency, in like coin or currency, from the March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15, as the case may be, next preceding the date of this Note to which interest has been paid, unless the date hereof is a date to which interest has been paid, in which case from the date of this Note, or unless no interest has been paid on these Notes, in which case from June 12, 2017, provided that, payment of interest may be made at the option of the Issuer by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register. The interest so payable on any March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15 will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture referred to on the


reverse hereof, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the February 28, May 31, August 31 or November 30 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15; provided that the interest due at maturity (whether or not an interest payment date) will be paid to the person to whom principal is payable. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360.

The interest on this Note will be reset quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15, December 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2017 (each, an “Interest Reset Date”). This Note will bear interest at an annual rate equal to three-month LIBOR (as defined below) for the applicable Interest Reset Period (as defined below), plus 0.770% per year. The interest rate for the Initial Interest Reset Period will be three-month LIBOR, determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) prior to June 12, 2017, plus 0.770% per year. The “Initial Interest Reset Period” will be the period from, and including, June 12, 2017 to, but excluding, the initial Interest Reset Date. Thereafter, each “Interest Reset Period” will be the period from, and including, an Interest Reset Date to, but excluding, the immediately succeeding Interest Reset Date; provided that the final Interest Reset Period for this Note will be the period from, and including, the Interest Reset Date immediately preceding June 15, 2022 to, but excluding, June 15, 2022. The “Interest Determination Date” will be the second London business day immediately preceding either (i) June 12, 2017, in the case of the Initial Interest Reset Period, or (ii) the applicable Interest Reset Date, in the case of each other Interest Reset Period.

Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date or June 15, 2022 shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (unless no interest has been paid on these Notes, in which case from June 12, 2017) to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date or June 15, 2022, as the case may be. If any Interest Reset Date or Interest Payment Date for this Note (other than June 15, 2022) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and interest on this Note will continue to accrue on the payment so deferred, except that if that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Reset Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the maturity date for this Note falls on a date that is not a Business Day, the related payments of principal and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after June 15, 2022.

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., or its successor appointed by the Issuer, will act as calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”). Three-month LIBOR will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable interest determination date in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Three-month LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity, commencing on June 12, 2017 or the related Interest Reset Date, as applicable, immediately following such Interest Determination Date, which appears on the Reuters LIBOR01 Page (as defined below) as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. “Reuters LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated as

 

2


page “LIBOR01” on the Reuters 3000 Xtra (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service, any successor service or such other service as may be nominated as the information vendor for the purpose of displaying rates or prices comparable to the London Interbank Offered Rate for U.S. dollar deposits). If no rate appears on the Reuters LIBOR01 Page as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on an Interest Determination Date, three-month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be determined in accordance with the provisions of the next succeeding provision.

(ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on the Reuters LIBOR01 Page as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks (which may include affiliates of the underwriters) in the London interbank market selected by the Issuer to provide the Calculation Agent with a quotation of the rate at which deposits of U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity, commencing on June 12, 2017 or the related Interest Reset Date, as applicable, immediately following such Interest Determination Date, are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on Interest Determination Date in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, three-month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations as calculated by the Calculation Agent. If fewer than two quotations are provided, three-month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the underwriters) selected by the Issuer for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having a three-month maturity commencing on June 12, 2017 or the related Interest Reset Date, as applicable, immediately following such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected by the Issuer are not quoting such rates as set forth in this sentence, three-month LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be three-month LIBOR determined with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination Date.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward and all dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent will notify the Issuer and the Trustee (if the Calculation Agent is not the Trustee) of the interest rate for the new Interest Reset Period. Upon request of a Holder of this Note, the Calculation Agent will provide to such Holder the interest rate in effect on the date of such request and, if determined, the interest rate for the next Interest Reset Period.

All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating interest on this Note shall be conclusive and binding on the Holder and the Issuer, absent manifest error.

Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof. Such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

This Note shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof.

CARDINAL HEALTH, INC.

Floating Rate Note due 2022

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 2, 2008 (herein called the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the Floating Rate Note due 2022 of the Issuer, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $350,000,000 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Issuer may, at any time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Securities, issue further notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes (other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the first interest payment date following the issue date of such further notes). Any such further notes, together with this Note, will form a single series of Securities under the Indenture.

1. Principal and Interest

The Notes will mature on June 15, 2022.

In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360.

2. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as one class), evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or any premium


thereon, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of any interest thereon, or reduce or impair or affect the rights of any Holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or any right of repayment at the option of the Holder, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. It is also provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain defaults or Events of Default, all or certain series of the Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series (or all or certain series of the Securities, as the case may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes.

3. Optional Redemption

The Notes are not redeemable at the Issuer’s option.

4. Special Mandatory Redemption

Upon the first to occur of either (i) April 18, 2018, if the Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to such date, or (ii) the date on which the Purchase Agreement is terminated (each, a “Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger”), the Issuer will be required to redeem all outstanding Notes in whole at a redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, to, but excluding, the date of the special mandatory redemption (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”).

Within five Business Days after the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger, the Issuer will cause notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption to be delivered electronically or mailed, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s registered address, stating, among other matters prescribed in the Indenture, that a Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger has occurred and that all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and that such Notes will be redeemed on the redemption date set forth in such notice (which will be no earlier than three Business Days and no later than 30 days from the date such notice is given). If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the special mandatory redemption date are deposited with the Trustee or a paying agent on or before such special mandatory redemption date, and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such special mandatory redemption date, the Notes will cease to bear interest.

 

2


The aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will not be held in escrow, and Holders of the Notes will not have any special access or rights to or a security interest or encumbrance of any kind on the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes.

Upon the occurrence of the consummation of the Acquisition, the foregoing provisions regarding the Special Mandatory Redemption will cease to apply.

“Purchase Agreement” means the definitive stock and asset purchase agreement the Issuer entered into with Medtronic plc, an Irish public limited company, pursuant to which, among other things, the Issuer will purchase certain equity interests and assets collectively constituting the Patient Care, Deep Vein Thrombosis and Nutritional Insufficiency businesses of Medtronic (such acquisition, the “Acquisition”).

5. Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless all Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Note or the Issuer has been required to redeem such Notes pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Note, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any proposed Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the proposed Change of Control, the Issuer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and shall specify, without limitation, the following:

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(2) the Change of Control Payment and the purchase date, which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) the CUSIP numbers for the Notes;

(4) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(5) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

 

3


(6) that Holders whose Notes of any series are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes of such series equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion will be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

(7) if the notice is delivered prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions hereof, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.

The paying agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note of the same series equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies).

 

4


“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Issuer or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Issuer’s Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors cease to be Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (i) the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the Holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the Holders of Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction.

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer who (1) were members of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Notes; or (2) were nominated for election or elected or appointed to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the continuing directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election or appointment.

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which term, when used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

“Fitch,” “Moody’s” and “S&P” mean Fitch Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and S&P Global Ratings, respectively.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Fitch), Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); or the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Issuer.

“Rating Agency” means (i) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and (ii) if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Issuer’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, or any successor definition, selected by the Issuer as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be.

“Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which term, when used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

“Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.
