SAN DIEGO, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CareFusion Corporation
(NYSE: CFN) announced today that it has completed its previously
announced offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") any and all of
its outstanding $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125%
Senior Notes due 2012, $450 million aggregate principal amount of
5.125% Senior Notes due 2014, and $700 million aggregate principal
amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (collectively, the "Initial
Notes") for new 4.125% Senior Notes due 2012, new 5.125% Senior
Notes due 2014, and new 6.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (collectively,
the "New Notes") that have been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Exchange Offer was
made pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement entered into by
CareFusion when it originally issued the Initial Notes on July 21,
2009. As CareFusion issued the $1.4 billion aggregate principal
amount of Initial Notes in a private placement transaction, the
Initial Notes were subject to transfer restrictions. The purpose of
the Exchange Offer was to allow holders of the Initial Notes to
exchange their notes for New Notes that did not have these
restrictions. Following the Exchange Offer, CareFusion will
continue to have $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of notes
outstanding. The terms of the New Notes issued in the Exchange
Offer are substantially the same as the terms of the Initial Notes,
except that the New Notes are registered under the Securities Act,
have no transfer restrictions under the federal securities laws, no
registration rights, no rights to additional interest and are not
subject to the special mandatory redemption feature. All of the
Initial Notes were submitted for exchange, and the Company has
accepted for exchange all the Initial Notes validly tendered and
not withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer. This announcement
does not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an
offer to sell securities. The Exchange Offer was made only pursuant
to a prospectus and the related letter of transmittal and only to
such persons and in such jurisdictions as is permitted under
applicable law. About CareFusion Corporation CareFusion (NYSE:CFN)
