CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) announced today the
pricing and early results of its previously announced debt tender offer
to purchase select P&G debt securities. As previously announced, the
tender offer is intended to allow P&G to retire higher-interest rate
debt in the current low interest-rate environment and further improve
the efficiency of P&G’s capital structure. The tender offer is being
made solely pursuant to P&G’s Offer to Purchase, dated October 17, 2016,
and the related Letter of Transmittal, as amended by this press release.

In addition, P&G announced today that it has amended the terms of the
tender offer to increase the Maximum Tender Amount, which is the maximum
aggregate purchase price that P&G will pay in the tender offer, from
$1.25 billion to $1.65 billion. Other than the increase in the Maximum
Tender Amount, all other terms and conditions of the tender offer remain
unchanged.

As of the Early Tender Deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
October 28, 2016, the principal amounts of the Securities listed in the
table below had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. The
withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 28,

(1)   As reported by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender and information
agent for the tender offer.
 
(2) The Tender Cap is the maximum aggregate purchase price for the
applicable Security. For non-U.S. Dollar denominated Securities, the
Tender Cap is the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the maximum aggregate
purchase price in the applicable currency.
 
(3) Per $1,000, £1,000 or €1,000 principal amount of Securities. The
Total Consideration payable for each $1,000, £1,000 or €1,000
principal amount of Securities validly tendered at or prior to the
Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase by P&G includes an
early tender premium. In addition, holders whose Securities are
accepted will also receive accrued interest on such Securities.
 

Pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, the amount of Securities that
will be accepted for purchase is subject to the Maximum Tender Amount,
as amended by this press release. The amounts of each series of
Securities that will be accepted for purchase was determined in
accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels specified in the table
above, with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 12 being
the lowest Acceptance Priority Level. In addition, the aggregate
purchase price for certain series of Securities was limited to the
Tender Caps specified in the table above.

The prices to be paid for the Securities denominated in U.S. Dollars and
Sterling were calculated on the basis of the yield, listed in the table
above, to the applicable call or maturity date of the applicable
reference security, and the prices to be paid for the Securities
denominated in Euro were calculated on the basis of the rates payable on
a reference swap plus the fixed spread applicable to such Securities as
set forth in the table above, in each case in the manner described in
the Offer to Purchase. The Maximum Tender Amount and Tender Caps (where
applicable) were determined subject to the currency conversion methods
described in the Offer to Purchase.

Because the aggregate principal amount of validly tendered Securities
resulted in the purchase price exceeding the Maximum Tender Amount (and,
in the case of the 6.250% Notes due 2030, the applicable Tender Cap),
the 6.250% Notes due 2030 and 5.550% Notes due 2037 will be purchased
subject to proration.

Holders of the Securities that were validly tendered and not withdrawn
at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and that are accepted for
purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration specified in
the table above. The tender offer will expire at midnight, New York City
time, at the end of November 14, 2016, unless extended or terminated.
However, because the tender offer was fully subscribed as of the Early
Tender Deadline, holders who validly tender Securities following that
time will not have any of their Securities accepted for purchase.
Securities not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned or
credited to the holder’s account.

The settlement date for Securities tendered at or prior to the Early
Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase is expected to be November 4,
2016.

P&G’s obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the Securities
validly tendered in the tender offer is subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC are acting as
the dealer managers for the tender offer. The information agent and
