On October 21, 2024, Catalent, Inc. ( “Catalent”) issued a press release containing an open letter sent to customers. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K, and any related oral statements, may include both historical and forward-looking statements and guidance. All statements other than statements of historical fact, are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of statements that include phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “hope,” “foresee,” “likely,” “may,” “could,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or other words or phrases with similar meanings. Similarly, statements that describe Catalent’s objectives, plans, or goals are, or may be, forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations of future events. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from Catalent’s expectations, projections, and guidance. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the pending merger of Catalent with an affiliate of Novo Holdings (the “Merger”), the completion of the Merger on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining antitrust and other regulatory approvals and clearances, the satisfaction of other conditions to the completion of the Merger, potential litigation relating to the Merger that could be instituted by or against Catalent, Novo Holdings or their respective affiliates, directors or officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto, the risk that disruptions from the Merger will harm Catalent’s relationships, and certain restrictions during the pendency of the Merger that may impact Catalent’s ability to pursue attractive business opportunities or strategic transactions.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 8-K or as of the date they are made, and Catalent does not undertake to and specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly release the results of any updates or revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
