Interest rate adjustments and a potential
one-time
premium payment related to the sustainability-linked bonds are treated as bifurcated embedded derivatives. See note 10c.
 
 
Long-term debt was issued by several indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company as to payment of all principal, interest, discount and additional amounts, if any. The long-term debt outlined in the above table is generally redeemable at any time at varying redemption
prices
plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Teva’s debt as of December 31, 2025 was
57
% denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder denominated in euro.
Teva’s principal sources of short-term liquidity are its cash on hand, existing cash investments, liquid securities and available credit facilities, primarily its $1.8 
billion unsecured syndicated sustainability-linked revolving credit facility entered into in April 2022, as most recently amended in December 2025 (“RCF”).
The RCF had an initial maturity date of
April 2026
with two
one-year
extension options. In April 2024, an extension option was exercised and the RCF maturity date was extended to April 2027. 
On December 10, 2025, the terms of the RCF were amended to extend the maturity from April 2027 to April 2028, using the second extension option and to update the Company’s maximum permitted leverage ratio under the RCF for certain periods. Under the terms of the RCF, as amended, the Company’s leverage ratio shall not exceed
4.25
x
in the fourth quarter of 2025 and thereafter. The RCF contains certain covenants, including certain limitations on incurring liens and indebtedness and maintenance of certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio, which becomes more restrictive over time. The RCF permits the Company to increase the maximum leverage ratio if it consummates or commences certain material transactions.
Under the RCF, as amended, the applicable margin used to calculate the interest rate under the RCF is linked to one sustainability performance target, the number of new regulatory submissions in low and middle-income countries. Proceeds from borrowings under the RCF can be used for general corporate purposes, including repaying existing debt. As of December 31, 2025, and as of the date of this Annual Report on Form
10-K,
no amounts were outstanding under the RCF. Based on current and forecasted results, the Company expects that it will not exceed the financial covenant thresholds set forth in the RCF within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.
Under specified circumstances, including
non-compliance
with any of the covenants described above and the unavailability of any waiver, amendment or other modification thereto, the Company will not be able to borrow under the RCF. Additionally, violations of the covenants, under the circumstances referred to above, would result in an event of default in all borrowings under the RCF and, when greater than a specified threshold amount as set forth in each series of senior notes and sustainability-linked senior notes is outstanding, could lead to an event of default under the Company’s senior notes and sustainability-linked senior notes due to cross-acceleration provisions.
Teva expects that it will continue to have sufficient cash resources to support its debt service payments and all other financial obligations within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued.
