Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 16, 2014, Teleflex Incorporated (the “Company”) announced that it priced $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) in a private placement (the “Notes Offering”). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Notes Offering to repay approximately $245.0 million of borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. A copy of the press release announcing the pricing of the Notes Offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons, except to “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A and to certain persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. You are hereby notified that sellers of the Notes may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy Notes in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or sale would be unlawful.
