Leverkusen - Bayer today announced the placement of 54.5 million shares of Elanco Animal Health Incorporated ("Elanco") at a price of 30.25 U.S. dollars per share pursuant to an SEC-registered public offering of Elanco shares on Monday. At completion, Bayer will receive gross proceeds of approximately 1.649 billion U.S. dollars. Bayer has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 8.175 million Elanco shares on the same terms and conditions. Elanco is not selling any shares and will not receive any proceeds from the proposed offering.
In connection with the completion of Bayer's sale of its Animal Health business unit to Elanco, Bayer had received 72.9 million Elanco shares, corresponding to approximately 15.5 percent of Elanco's outstanding shares. As previously announced, Bayer intends to divest the remaining stake in Elanco in due course.
