October 27, 2022.
AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'' or ``SEC'').
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice of an application under section 6(c) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (``Act'') for an exemption from all provisions of
the Act.
Summary of Application: Applicants request an order that would permit
Royalty Pharma Finance Corporation (``FinCo'') to issue and sell
commercial paper, preferred stock and other debt securities to finance
the operations of Royalty Pharma plc (``RP'') and its subsidiaries.
Applicants state that FinCo would qualify for the exemption provided by
rule 3a-5 under the Act but for the facts that: (i) FinCo may finance
various subsidiaries of RP that are not ``companies controlled by'' RP
within the meaning of rule 3a-5 due to their reliance on sections
3(c)(5) or 3(c)(6) of the Act, (ii) FinCo is a direct subsidiary of
Royalty Pharma Holdings Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of RP, which
would not be a ``company controlled by the parent company'' within the
meaning of rule 3a-5 to the extent it relies on section 3(c)(6) of the
Act, and (iii) FinCo's ``parent company'' for purposes of rule 3a-5
would be RP, which would not be a ``parent company'' within the meaning
of rule 3a-5 to the extent it relies on section 3(c)(6) of the Act.
Applicants: Royalty Pharma plc and Royalty Pharma Finance Corporation.
Filing Date: The application was filed on September 20, 2022.

relief will be issued unless the Commission orders a hearing.
