Elanco Animal Health Incorporated Announces IPO Closing

Elanco Animal Health Incorporated today announced the closing of its previously announced initial public offering ("IPO") of 62.9 million shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $24.00 per share. In connection with the IPO, the underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 9.435 million shares of common stock at the price to the public less underwriting discounts, bringing the total IPO size to 72.335 million shares. The shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on September 20, 2018, under the ticker symbol "ELAN."

As of the closing of the IPO, Eli Lilly and Company ("Lilly") owns approximately 80.2% of Elanco, which it plans to divest through a tax-efficient transaction.

After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by Elanco, the net proceeds to Elanco were approximately $1.7 billion. The net proceeds from the IPO, net of certain amounts to be retained by Elanco, have been paid to Lilly as partial consideration for the animal health businesses that Lilly transferred to Elanco in connection with the IPO.
