PALO ALTO, Calif., July 7, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The $119.5 million principal amount of the notes is due in June 2011. Jazz Pharmaceuticals also announced today that it has delivered to the holders of the notes financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, which indicate that Jazz Pharmaceuticals had achieved as of June 30, 2009 net product sales at the level required to suspend its prior obligation to maintain a minimum cash balance in an account that is pledged to the collateral agent for the notes.
