Catalent has used a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of its tender offer for outstanding 9 1/2 %/10 1/4% Senior PIK-election Notes due 2015, including related fees and expenses, and expects to use the remaining net proceeds to finance any additional purchases pursuant to the tender offer and any excess for general corporate purposes which may include repayment of indebtedness.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other security, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering circular.
