Haleon plc (NYSE: HLN) readies senior notes issue and $1.999B tender
Haleon US Capital LLC plans to issue three series of unsubordinated, unsecured senior fixed rate notes, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Haleon plc. The notes rank pari passu with the issuers’ other unsubordinated, unsecured obligations, are issued in $1,000 denominations, and may be optionally redeemed at a make-whole Treasury Rate-based price before specified par call dates, or at par thereafter, plus accrued interest.
The company has launched a Concurrent Tender Offer to purchase for cash any and all of its $1,999,350,000 3.375% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due March 2027, with expiration scheduled for August 18, 2026 and anticipated settlement on August 21, 2026, subject to conditions including settlement of this new offering. Net proceeds from the new notes, together with cash on hand if needed, are intended to fund that tender and for general purposes of the Haleon group. As of June 30, 2026, total equity was £16,440 million, total borrowings £8,252 million, and total capitalization £24,692 million. Application will be made to list the new notes on the NYSE.

Filing Explained
