SUMMARY INFORMATION

This document is supplemental to and must be read in conjunction with the Prospectus. This summary should be read as an introduction to this document. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of this document and the Prospectus as a whole by the investor. Where a claim relating to the information contained in this document is brought before a court, the plaintiff investor might, under the national legislation of the member states of the EEA, have to bear the costs of translating this document before the legal proceedings are initiated. Civil liability attaches only to those persons who have tabled the summary, including any translation thereof, but only if the summary is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent when read together with the other parts of this document or it does not provide, when read together with the other parts of this document, key information to aid investors when considering whether to invest in such securities.

The summary below amends elements B.4a, B.7, B.8 and E.3 in the Prospectus.

B.4a Most significant recent
trends of Hikma and its
industry
In
the
Prospectus,
Hikma
stated
that
in
the
nine
months
ended
30 September 2015, Roxane's revenue had increased through growth
in currently marketed products and new product launches, which offset a
reduction in revenue from products manufactured for BI and its affiliates,
and that Roxane's costs of sales and operating expenses had remained
largely unchanged during the period. These trends were expected to
have continued through to the end of 2015. This statement is amended in
this document as described below in element B.7.
B.7 Historical key financial
information for Hikma
Following the publication of the Prospectus dated 22 January 2016,
Hikma received new information from BI in relation to Roxane's financial
performance during 2015, which the Hikma Board believes will also have
an impact on Roxane's outlook for 2016 and 2017.
Following further due diligence into the new information provided by BI,
Hikma now expects that Roxane's unaudited revenue for 2015 was lower
than had previously been anticipated by Hikma on the basis of the
information available to it at the time of the publication of the Prospectus,
due to higher than expected rebates. The rebates were paid primarily to
wholesalers and increased largely due to the shift from direct sales to
retailers to indirect sales through the wholesalers. The rebates relate to
all Roxane products although some specific product rebates have been
offered on a case by case basis. The rebates resulted in lower net selling
prices on marketed products than had previously been expected. In
addition, Hikma now expects that Roxane's unaudited cost of sales were
slightly higher than had previously been anticipated by Hikma on the
basis of the information available to it at the time of the publication of the
Prospectus due to higher volumes and change in product mix which has
resulted
in
higher
cost
of
raw
materials.
Hikma
now
expects
that
Roxane's unaudited revenue for 2015, rather than being slightly higher
than 2014, was around US\$650 million. When taken together with the
increased expenses, this has led to a weaker outturn than achieved in
2014.1
Save as set out in Element B.7 of the Prospectus and as set out above,
there has been no significant change to Roxane's financial position and
operating results during or subsequent to the period covered by the
historical key financial information for Roxane set out in this section.

1 The US\$650 million figure set out in this paragraph has been extracted from internal financial accounting records and have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial information of Roxane for the financial years ended 31 December 2012, 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2014 set out in Part VIII (Historical Financial Information relating to Roxane) in the Prospectus. This figure is unaudited.

B.8 Selected key pro-forma
financial information
Selected pro-forma financial information, which illustrates the effect of
the Acquisition on the Hikma Group's income statement as if it had
occurred on 1 January 2014 and its net assets as if it had occurred on
30 June 2015, is set out below. The unaudited pro-forma financial
information
because of its nature, addresses a hypothetical situation and therefore
does not represent the Hikma Group's or the Enlarged Group's actual
financial position or results.

E.3 Terms and conditions of
the offer
Under the revised terms of the Acquisition, on Closing, Hikma will pay
gross consideration of US\$647 million in cash and will issue 40,000,000
Consideration Shares to BI (or a nominee of BI that is an affiliate of BI).
This represents a reduction of US\$535 million in the cash component of
the gross consideration that was originally agreed. Consistent with the
original terms disclosed in the Prospectus, Hikma has also agreed to
make contingent cash payments of up to US\$125 million, subject to the
achievement of certain US FDA approval milestones, depending on
specific products, type of approval and dosage approved and further
exclusivity and ten-year quarterly sales-based contingent payments once
the products are commercialised.
The Acquisition is conditional upon, among other things, approval by the
Shareholders of the Acquisition and the expiration or termination of any
required HSR Act antitrust waiting period.

PART I

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

1. Update on Roxane performance

In the Prospectus, Hikma stated that Roxane's operating profit was US\$21 million in 2014. Profitability during 2014 was impacted by two main items – elevated R&D expenses, including US\$35 million related to the development of certain key products expected to launch in the coming years, and non-recurring costs of US\$17 million attributable to related party transactions and employee benefits.2

Based on information made available to Hikma in relation to the financial performance of Roxane since the date of the latest audited accounts for Roxane, Hikma stated that, in the nine months ended 30 September 2015, Roxane's revenue had increased through growth in currently marketed products and new product launches, which offset a reduction in revenue from products manufactured for BI and its affiliates. This trend was expected to have continued through to the end of 2015. Accordingly, Hikma stated that it expected Roxane's revenue in 2015 to be slightly higher than 2014, with the reduction in revenue from products manufactured for BI and its affiliates being offset by growth in revenue from Roxane's marketed portfolio and new product launches.

In addition, based on information made available to Hikma in relation to the performance of Roxane since the date of the latest audited accounts for Roxane, Hikma stated that it expected Roxane's costs of sales and operating expenses had remained largely unchanged during the nine months ended 30 September 2015. These trends were expected to have continued through to the end of 2015.

Hikma expected 2016 revenue from the Roxane products to be broadly in line with 2015, with recent and planned new product launches mostly offsetting increased competition on the current marketed product portfolio.

For 2017, Hikma expected that the accelerated pace of new product launches would drive Roxane's total revenue to between US\$725 million and US\$775 million.

Following the publication of the Prospectus dated 22 January 2016, Hikma received new information from BI in relation to Roxane's financial performance during 2015, which the Hikma Board believes will also have an impact on Roxane's outlook for 2016 and 2017.

Following further due diligence into the new information provided by BI, Hikma now expects that Roxane's unaudited revenue for 2015 was lower than had previously been anticipated by Hikma on the basis of the information available to it at the time of the publication of the Prospectus, due to higher than expected rebates. The rebates were paid primarily to wholesalers and increased largely due to the shift from direct sales to retailers to indirect sales through the wholesalers. The rebates relate to all Roxane products although some specific product rebates have been offered on a case by case basis. The rebates resulted in lower net selling prices on marketed products than had previously been expected. In addition, Hikma now expects that Roxane's unaudited cost of sales were slightly higher than had previously been anticipated by Hikma on the basis of the information available to it at the time of the publication of the Prospectus, due to higher volumes and change in product mix which has resulted in higher cost of raw materials. Hikma now expects that Roxane's unaudited revenue for 2015, rather than being slightly higher than 2014, was around US\$650 million. When taken together with the increased expenses, this has led to a weaker outturn than achieved in 2014.3 Save as described, there has been no significant change in the financial or trading position of Roxane since 31 December 2014, the date to which Roxane's latest audited financial information was prepared.

On the basis of the new information provided by BI, Hikma now anticipates that Roxane's full year revenue for 2016 will also be negatively impacted compared to Hikma's previous expectation and,

2 The US\$35 million and US\$17 million figures set out in this paragraph have been extracted from internal financial accounting records and have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial information of Roxane for the financial years ended 31 December 2012, 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2014 set out in Part VIII (Historical Financial Information relating to Roxane) in the Prospectus. The US\$35 million figure forms part of the audited US\$117 million Research and development expenses reported for the financial year ended 31 December 2014. The US\$17 million forms part of the audited US\$180 million Total operating expenses reported for the financial year ended 31 December 2014. Both figures are unaudited.

3 The US\$650 million figure set out in this paragraph has been extracted from internal financial accounting records and have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial information of Roxane for the financial years ended 31 December 2012, 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2014 set out in Part VIII (Historical Financial Information relating to Roxane) in the Prospectus. This figure is unaudited.

as a consequence, will now be lower than revenue in 2015. Hikma now expects that further adjustments for the impact on revenue it anticipates due to the rebates in 2016, alongside the previously expected increase in competition on the current marketed portfolio, will only be partially offset by revenue from recent and planned new product launches. In addition, consistent with the original terms disclosed in the Prospectus, Hikma continues to expect a reduction in revenues from products manufactured for BI and its affiliates. Further, as previously stated, Hikma will focus on improving Roxane's product mix and reducing overheads and other expenses following Closing.

On the basis of the new information provided by BI, Hikma now anticipates that Roxane's full year revenue for 2017 will also be negatively impacted compared to Hikma's previous expectation. Hikma now anticipates that Roxane's total revenue for 2017 will be between US\$700 million and US\$750 million, rather than the previous expectation that revenues in 2017 would be between US\$725 million and US\$775 million. With the exception of further adjustments for the impact of rebates in future years, and ordinary course updates to product forecasts, all of Hikma's assumptions remain unchanged. Hikma continues to expect close to 20 launches from the Roxane pipeline in 2016 and 2017, including some potentially substantial market opportunities. In addition, Hikma expects an improved product mix in 2017, resulting from the successful commercialisation of Roxane's differentiated pipeline and the reduction in the supply of lower-margin products to BI and its affiliates.

Hikma reiterates its expectation that an improved product mix, combined with anticipated operating efficiencies gained through the combination with Hikma's US business, will significantly improve performance and will enable Roxane to expand EBITDA margins from the pre-acquisition levels to around 35 per cent. over the medium term.

On the basis of the information available to it at the time of the publication of the Prospectus, Hikma stated that the Acquisition was expected to be accretive to adjusted EPS in 2016. On the basis of the new information provided by BI and the revised terms of the Acquisition (as described below), Hikma now expects that the Acquisition will be slightly dilutive to adjusted EPS in 2016. In spite of the reduction in Hikma's expectations for Roxane's revenue in 2017, Hikma reiterates that the Acquisition is expected to be strongly accretive to adjusted EPS from 2017, the first full year, onwards.

2. Revised terms of the Acquisition Agreement

In light of the new information received by Hikma from BI, the parties have agreed to amend the terms of the Acquisition Agreement to reduce the purchase price. Under the revised terms of the Acquisition, on Closing, Hikma will pay gross consideration of US\$647 million in cash as opposed to US\$1.18 billion, a reduction of US\$535 million. Hikma will issue 40,000,000 Consideration Shares, which is unchanged from the number agreed on 28 July 2015.

As disclosed in the Prospectus, the Acquisition Agreement contains customary warranties given by BI in relation to its title and ownership of Roxane and in relation to the underlying businesses of Roxane, and it contained limitations on liability and indemnification provisions. Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Hikma was able to recover losses for breach of representations made by BI in the Acquisition Agreement only to the extent that they exceeded US\$39.75m, and in relation to any excess above such amount, Hikma's recovery was capped at US\$26.5m (save in respect of any claim for fraud or injunctive or provisional relief (including specific performance)).

As part of the agreement to reduce the purchase price by US\$535m, Hikma has agreed that (save in respect of any claim for fraud or injunctive or provisional relief (including specific performance)) Hikma and the Buyer Related Parties shall release and discharge BI and the Seller Related Parties from all claims which the Buyer Related Parties had, have, or may in the future have, that in any way are based on, relate to or arise under any financial information about Roxane, requested, provided, delivered or otherwise made available to any Buyer Related Party in connection with the Acquisition Agreement or the Acquisition (the ''Released Claims''). The Amendment Agreement states that the Buyer Related Parties covenant to refrain from seeking to establish liability or seeking any damages from the Seller Related Parties for any of the Released Claims.

The other terms remain as described on pages 88 to 90 of the Prospectus.

3. Pro-forma information

An unaudited pro-forma income statement and pro-forma net assets statement of the Enlarged Group has been prepared to reflect the amended terms of the Acquisition Agreement and is set out in Part II of this document to illustrate the impact of the Acquisition on the income statement of the Hikma Group for the year ended 31 December 2014 as if it had taken place on 1 January 2014, and on the net assets of the Hikma Group as at 30 June 2015 as if it had taken place at that date.

4. Recommendation, action to be taken and confirmations

The Board has received financial advice from Citi and Centerview Partners in relation to the Acquisition. In providing such financial advice to the Board, Citi and Centerview Partners have relied on the Board's commercial assessment of the Acquisition.

The Board continues to believe that the Acquisition, on the revised terms of the Acquisition Agreement and taking into consideration the new information provided by BI, and the Resolutions are in the best interests of shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board continues to unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions at the General Meeting as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings of Hikma Shares.

You will find enclosed with this document an additional Form of Proxy for use at the General Meeting to assist Shareholders in voting on the Resolutions. Shareholders may return either the original Form of Proxy or the Form of Proxy enclosed with this document. If two or more valid but differing Forms of Proxy are delivered in respect of the same share for use at the General Meeting, the one which is last delivered (regardless of its date, its date of sending or the date of its execution) shall be treated as replacing and revoking the others as regards that share.

Whether or not you intend to be present at the meeting, you are requested to complete and return either Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed on it and return it so as to be received by the Registrar, at PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU, so as to arrive no later than 9.00a.m. UK time on 17 February 2016 (or not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for any adjourned meeting). Shareholders may, if they so wish, register the appointment of a proxy or proxies electronically by logging on to the Registrar's website at www.capitashareportal.com where full details of the procedure are given. Electronic proxy appointments must be received by the Registrar, so as to arrive no later than 9.00a.m. UK time on 17 February 2016 (or not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for any adjourned meeting). CREST members may appoint a proxy or proxies by completing and transmitting a CREST Proxy instruction in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual so that it is received by Hikma's agent (ID RA10) by the latest time for receipt of proxy appointments specified above.

Completing and returning a Form of Proxy or electronic proxy appointment or completing and transmitting a CREST proxy instruction will not prevent you from attending the meeting and voting in person if you wish.

Hikma, the Directors and the Proposed Director regard the information above as significant new factors relating to the information contained in the Prospectus and accordingly have prepared and published this document in accordance with section 87G of the FSMA, the Prospectus Rules and the Listing Rules. Save as disclosed in this document, there is no further information that is required to be disclosed in this document.

PART II

UNAUDITED PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

SECTION A: Unaudited pro-forma financial information of the Enlarged Group

The unaudited pro-forma income statement and pro-forma net assets statement of the Enlarged Group set out below have been prepared on the basis of the notes below, and in accordance with Annex II to the Prospectus Rules, to illustrate the impact of the Acquisition on the income statement of the Hikma Group for the year ended 31 December 2014 as if it had taken place on 1 January 2014, and on the net assets of the Hikma Group as at 30 June 2015 as if it had taken place at that date.

The unaudited pro-forma financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and, by its nature, addresses a hypothetical situation. It does not, therefore, represent the Enlarged Group's actual financial position or results.

The unaudited pro-forma information does not constitute financial statements within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act. Shareholders should read the whole of this document and not rely solely on the summarised financial information contained in this Part II.

Notes:

(1) The financial information relating to Hikma has been extracted without material adjustment from the audited financial information for the year ended 31 December 2014, which is incorporated by reference in Part VII (Historical Financial Information relating to Hikma) of the Prospectus.

  • (2) The Roxane financial information is taken from the audited financial information of Roxane for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 set out in Part VIII (Historical Financial Information relating to Roxane) of the Prospectus.
  • (3) This adjustment relates to the elimination of interest expense on balances payable to affiliates of US\$223 million and a shortterm loan payable to BI of US\$202 million and their related tax benefit (applying Roxane's effective tax rate of 30.8 per cent.), as the Acquisition is structured on a cash-free, debt-free basis and this loan will not be a liability for Hikma.
  • (4) Under the terms of the Acquisition, on closing Hikma will pay gross consideration of approximately US\$647 million in cash. In accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, this is subject to post-Closing cash adjustments to reflect (i) the net working capital of Roxane at Closing, and (ii) capital expenditure for the period between 28 July 2015 (the date of announcing the Acquisition) and the Closing Date relating to two key products acquired pursuant to the Acquisition. As these adjustments relate to a future event, they have not been included in this pro-forma. The cash consideration will be financed through a combination of cash and debt. The financing adjustment reflects:
    1. The interest cost on the US\$1,175 million new RCF, US\$345 million of which is expected to be utilised. This results in US\$6 million in interest expense on the RCF, in addition there is US\$2 million in amortised upfront fees for the RCF and US\$4 million in commitment fees on the unutilised portion of the RCF.
    1. Finance income has been reduced by US\$1 million due to interest income forgone from deposits of excess cash during the year; as cash of US\$302 million will be used to finance part of the cash consideration.
    1. The tax benefit related to the above net finance cost adjustments calculated using an effective tax rate of 20 per cent., which reflects Hikma's effective tax rate for the six months ended 30 June 2015.
  • (5) Acquisition adjustments relate to the estimated Acquisition cost of US\$36 million.
  • (6) No adjustments has been made to reflect the trading results of Hikma or Roxane since 31 December 2014.

  • a. The financial information relating to Roxane has been extracted without material adjustment from the audited financial information of Roxane for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 set out in Part VIII (Historical Financial Information relating to Roxane).
  • b. Elimination of balances payable to BI and affiliates.
  • c. Elimination of disposal group assets that are not part of the Acquistion.
  • (3) Under the terms of the Acquisition, on Closing Hikma will pay gross consideration of approximately US\$647 million in cash. The cash consideration will be financed through a combination of cash and debt. The financing adjustment reflects utilisation of the US\$1,175 million Revolver Credit Facility ''RCF'', US\$345 million of which is expected to be utilised. Accordingly the US\$341 million adjustment to Long-term financial debts comprises of US\$345 million utilised RCF balance less capitalised financing fees. The adjustment to cash represents the cash used to pay upfront fees related to the RCF.
  • (4) The Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Any excess consideration above the book value of the net assets acquired has been reflected as goodwill. A fair value exercise will be completed post-Acquisition, therefore no account has been taken of any fair value adjustments that may arise on the Acquisition and no intangible assets and tax consequences have been valued at this stage. The goodwill has been calculated as follows:
(US\$m)
302
345
1,166
1,813
702
1,111

For the purpose of calculating the goodwill, the consideration is assumed to be the gross consideration of US\$647 million in cash and 40,000,000 Consideration Shares being issued to BI (or a nominee of BI that is an affiliate of BI), based on an issue price for the Consideration Shares of £20.25 per share (being the share price as at 15 January 2016), converted at a USD:GBP exchange rate of 1.44041:1 (being the exchange rate at 15 January 2016). The above calculation does not assume any contingent consideration or liabilities. In addition, it does not assume any post-Closing cash adjustments to reflect (i) the net working capital of Roxane at Closing and (ii) capital expenditure for the period between 28 July 2015 (the date of the announcement of the Acquisition) and the Closing Date relating to two key products acquired pursuant to the Acquisition. These adjustments relate to a future event and have not therefore been included in this pro-forma.

The adjustment to cash represents the cash on balance sheet used to finance the difference between the US\$647 million cash consideration and the utilised RCF financing of US\$345 million, in addition to Acquisition costs of US\$36 million.

(5) No adjustment has been made to reflect the trading results of Hikma or Roxane from 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014, respectively.

Dear Sirs

Hikma Pharmaceuticals Public Limited Company (the ''Company'')

We report on the pro forma financial information (the ''Pro-Forma Financial Information'') set out in Part A and Part B of Section A of this Part II (Unaudited Pro-Forma Financial Information) of the supplementary prospectus and Class 1 circular dated 11 February 2016 (the ''Supplementary Circular''), which has been prepared on the basis described in the notes to the Pro-Forma Financial Information, for illustrative purposes only, to provide information about how the transaction might have affected the financial information presented on the basis of the accounting policies adopted by the Company in preparing the financial statements for the period 31 December 2014. This report is required by paragraph 13.3.3R of the Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and by the Commission Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 (the ''Prospectus Directive Regulation'') and is given for the purpose of complying with those requirements and for no other purpose.

Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of the directors of the Company and the Proposed Director (as defined in the combined prospectus and circular published by the Company on 22 January 2016) to prepare the Pro-Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 13.3.3R of the Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and Annex II items 1 to 6 of the Prospectus Directive Regulation.

The work that we performed for the purpose of making this report, which involved no independent examination of any of the underlying financial information, consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted financial information with the source documents, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments and discussing the Pro-Forma Financial Information with the Directors.

We planned and performed our work so as to obtain the information and explanations we considered necessary in order to provide us with reasonable assurance that the Pro-Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled on the basis stated and that such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.

Our work has not been carried out in accordance with auditing or other standards and practices generally accepted in jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom, including the United States of America, and accordingly should not be relied upon as if it had been carried out in accordance with those standards or practices.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the Pro-Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled on the basis stated; and
  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.

Declaration
