 ***AstraZeneca prices a $2bn bond offering***

26 February 2026

 **AstraZeneca prices a $2bn bond offering**

AstraZeneca PLC ("AstraZeneca") announces that its wholly owned subsidiary AstraZeneca Finance LLC, priced a three tranche global bond offering totalling $2bn on 25 February 2026. The offering is expected to close on 2 March 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction, which is a global offering registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), consists of the following three tranches:

 *Notes issued by AstraZeneca Finance LLC and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by AstraZeneca*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● $0.65bn of fixed rate notes with a coupon of 4.000%, maturing 2 March 2031;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● $0.60bn of fixed rate notes with a coupon of 4.300%, maturing 2 March 2033; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● $0.75bn of fixed rate notes with a coupon of 4.600%, maturing 2 March 2036.

AstraZeneca expects to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the refinancing of existing indebtedness.

BofA Securities, Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Mizuho Securities USA LLC acted as joint book-running managers on the transaction.

The notes will be issued under AstraZeneca's effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3, which AstraZeneca and AstraZeneca Finance LLC filed with the SEC on 19 March 2024. The offering is being made solely by means of the prospectus contained within that shelf registration statement, along with a prospectus supplement forming part of the effective registration statement, which investors should read.
