Theravance Biopharma, Inc. Debt Disclosure
11. Extinguishment of Debt
9.5% Non-Recourse Notes Due 2035
In February 2020, Theravance Biopharma R&D, Inc. (“Theravance R&D”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Triple Royalty Sub II LLC (the “Issuer II”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Theravance Biopharma R&D, entered into certain note purchase agreements (“Note Purchase Agreements”) with certain note purchasers (“Note Purchasers”), relating to the private placement by Issuer II of $400.0 million 9.5% Fixed Rate Term Notes due on or
before 2035 (the “Non-Recourse 2035 Notes”). The Non-Recourse 2035 Notes were secured by all of Issuer II’s right, title and interest as a holder of certain membership interests in TRC. TRC held the right to receive upward-tiering royalties ranging from 6.5% to 10% on worldwide net sales of TRELEGY, and, prior to the closing of the TRC Transaction (see “Note 9. Sale of Equity Interests in Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC and Discontinued Operations”).
In connection with the TRC Transaction, the Company redeemed the outstanding Non-Recourse 2035 Notes on July 20, 2022 and paid certain other fees and expenses in conjunction with that redemption. The total repayment was comprised of $400.0 million of net principal, $4.7 million of accrued interest, an early redemption premium fee of $20.0 million, and $0.2 million of transaction costs. The $400.0 million of net principal included $30.7 million of issuance-to-date net interest shortfall. The repayments resulted in a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $24.0 million, which was included within discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The loss on extinguishment of debt was calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the Non-Recourse 2035 Notes and the amounts paid to redeem the Non-Recourse 2035 Notes.
3.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2023
In November 2016, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $230.0 million of 3.25% convertible senior notes, due 2023 (the "Convertible Senior 2023 Notes") for net proceeds of $222.5 million. The Company incurred $7.5 million in debt issuance costs, which were being amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes. The Convertible Senior 2023 Notes bore an annual interest rate of 3.25%, payable semi-annually in arrears, on November 1 and May 1 of each year.
On July 26, 2022, subsequent to the closing of the TRC Transaction, the Company launched a tender offer to retire the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes (the “2023 Notes Tender Offer”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2023 Notes Tender Offer, the Company paid all accrued and unpaid interest on the purchased Convertible Senior 2023 Notes from and including the last interest payment date of May 1, 2022 up to, but not including, the settlement date for the 2023 Notes Tender Offer. The 2023 Notes Tender Offer expired on August 23, 2022 (the “Expiration Time”). As of the Expiration Time, $230.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes, representing 100% of the outstanding Convertible Senior 2023 Notes, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the 2023 Notes Tender Offer. The Company accepted for purchase all of the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes and settled the 2023 Notes Tender Offer on August 25, 2022.
Total payments made by the Company under the 2023 Notes Tender Offer included $230.0 million of principal, $2.4 million of accrued interest, and $1.6 million of transaction costs. The repayments resulted in a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.0 million, which is included within “loss on extinguishment of debt” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The loss on extinguishment of debt was calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes and the amounts paid to settle the Convertible Senior 2023 Notes.
As December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any long-term debt.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
