LAVAL, QC and VAUGHAN, ON, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bausch + Lomb Corporation ("Bausch + Lomb"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE/TSX: BHC) ("Bausch Health"), today announced the pricing of its initial public offering ("IPO") of 35,000,000 common shares at a public offering price of $18.00 per share. A wholly owned subsidiary of Bausch Health (the "Selling Shareholder") is offering all of the common shares, and Bausch + Lomb will not receive any of the proceeds from the IPO. The Selling Shareholder has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 5,250,000 common shares of Bausch + Lomb to cover over-allotments, if any, at the initial public offering price, less underwriting commissions.

The common shares have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and conditionally approved for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). The common shares are expected to begin trading on the NYSE and on an "if, as and when issued basis" on the TSX on May 6, 2022, in each case under the ticker symbol "BLCO." The offering is expected to close on May 10, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.

Following the IPO, Bausch Health, together with its subsidiaries, will hold approximately 90% of the common shares of Bausch + Lomb, or 88.5% of the common shares of Bausch + Lomb if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full.

Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC are acting as joint lead book-running managers for the IPO. Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, Barclays, BofA Securities, Guggenheim Securities, Jefferies, Evercore ISI, Wells Fargo Securities and Deutsche Bank Securities are acting as joint book-running managers for the IPO, and DNB Markets, HSBC, Truist Securities, AmeriVet Securities, Loop Capital Markets, Ramirez & Co., Inc., R. Seelaus & Co., LLC, Siebert Williams Shank and Stern are acting as co-managers for the IPO.

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with, and declared effective by, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 5, 2022, and a receipt has been obtained for a final base PREP prospectus that has been filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (other than Quebec) on May 5, 2022. The IPO is only being made by means of a prospectus. When available, copies of the final prospectus and the supplemented PREP prospectus containing pricing information and other important information relating to the common shares and the offering may be obtained from Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Attn: Prospectus Department, 180 Varick Street, 2nd Floor, New York, N.Y. 10014 or Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Attn: Prospectus Department, 200 West Street, New York, N.Y. 10282, by telephone at (866) 471-2526 or by email at [email protected]. A copy of the supplemented PREP prospectus will be filed and will become available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com by May 9, 2022.
