Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Underwriting Agreement

On October 8, 2013, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representative of the several underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), in connection with the registered underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of up to $340,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 0.75% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) and up to $340,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 1.50% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes” and, together with the 2018 Notes, the “Notes”). In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 13-day option to purchase an additional $35,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes and an additional $35,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes to cover over-allotments (such additional 2018 Notes together with such additional 2020 Notes, the “Additional Notes”), if any (the “Option”). On October 9, 2013, the Underwriters exercised the Option in full. The Offering (including the Option) will result in net proceeds to the Company of $727.5 million before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Offering is expected to close on or about October 15, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of legal opinions and approval of legal matters by counsel to the Underwriters. The Notes are to be issued pursuant to a base indenture, as supplemented by one or more supplemental indentures, in each case to be entered into between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of these liabilities.

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (Registration No. 333-191604) (the “Registration Statement”), which became effective October 7, 2013, and the prospectus dated October 7, 2013 included in the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated October 8, 2013.

The summary of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Capped Call Confirmation

In connection with the pricing of the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes, on October 8, 2013, the Company entered into privately-negotiated capped call transactions (the “Base Capped Call Confirmations”) with Bank of America, N.A., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Barclays Bank PLC (the “Hedge Counterparties”) and in connection with the exercise in full of the Option by the Underwriters, on October 9, 2013, the Company entered into privately-negotiated additional capped call transactions (such additional capped call transactions, together with the Base Capped Confirmations, the “Capped Call Confirmations”) with the Hedge Counterparties. The Capped Call Confirmations cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, 50% of the principal amount of the Notes and 50% of the principal amount of the Additional Notes. The Capped Call Confirmations have a cap price of approximately $121.05, which represents a premium of approximately 80.0% over the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on October 8, 2013 (the “Cap Price”). The Capped Call Confirmations are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset potential cash payments in excess of the principal amount of 50% of the converted Notes upon conversion of the Notes near maturity in the event that the market price of the Common Stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Confirmations, is greater than the initial conversion price of the Notes (the “Strike Price”). If, however, the market value per share of the Common Stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Confirmation, exceeds the Cap Price, the extent to which the capped call transaction offsets the Common Stock deliveries and/or cash payments, as applicable, due upon conversions of the Notes will be capped as if such market value per share of the Common Stock was equal to the Cap Price. Additionally, to the extent that the market value per share of Common Stock does not exceed the Strike Price, the Company will not be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock or cash under the Capped Call Confirmations. The Company used approximately $29.8 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to pay the cost of the Capped Call Confirmations.


The Capped Call Confirmations are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not affect any holder’s right under the Notes. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Confirmations.

The summary of the Capped Call Confirmations is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Capped Call Confirmations which were filed as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.12 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
