Result of placing of ordinary shares in Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC ("Hikma" or the "Company")

Further to the announcement released on 22nd June 2020, Boehringer Ingelheim Invest GmbH ("Boehringer Ingelheim") announces that it has sold approximately 27.2 million ordinary shares in the share capital of Hikma, by way of an accelerated bookbuild (the "Placing") at a price of £23.00 per ordinary share (the "Placing Price"), raising gross proceeds of approximately £625 million.

Boehringer Ingelheim has concurrently entered into arrangements pursuant to which Hikma will buy back approximately 12.8 million ordinary shares (the "Buy Back Shares") currently owned by Boehringer Ingelheim (the "Buy Back"). The purchase price for each of the Buy Back Shares is equal to the Placing Price (the "Buy Back Price"). Hikma will receive a commitment fee from Boehringer Ingelheim of 2 per cent. of the aggregate value of the Buy Back Shares acquired at the Buy Back Price. Citigroup Global Markets Limited ("Citi") are acting as riskless principal for the purpose of the Buy Back.

Following the completion of the Placing and the Buy Back, Boehringer Ingelheim no longer holds ordinary shares in the capital of Hikma.

The closing of the Placing is expected to occur on or around 25th June 2020.

Boehringer Ingelheim has engaged Citi and J.P. Morgan Securities plc, which conducts its UK investment banking activities as J.P. Morgan Cazenove ("J.P. Morgan Cazenove"), as bookrunners (the "Joint Bookrunners") in connection with the Placing.

Rothschild & Cie ("Rothschild & Co") is acting as financial adviser to Boehringer Ingelheim on the Placing.

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the Placing.
