RECITALS
The Issuer, the Original Guarantors and the Trustee have previously executed and delivered that certain Indenture dated as of April 28, 2016 (the Indenture), pursuant to which the Issuer issued US$600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.625% guaranteed senior notes due April 28, 2026 and US$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.500% guaranteed senior notes due May 15, 2028 (together, the Securities).
Section 902 of the Indenture provides that, subject to certain exceptions, the Issuer, the Original Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities).
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated as of May 8, 2019 (the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement), the Issuer has offered to exchange (the Exchange Offers) any and all outstanding Securities for: new 3.625% Guaranteed Senior Notes due April 28, 2026 and 4.500% Guaranteed Senior Notes due May 15, 2028, in each case, to be issued by the Issuer (together, the New Notes). Concurrently with the Exchange Offers, the Issuer has solicited consents (the Consent Solicitations and, together with the Exchange Offers, the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations) from certain Holders (Eligible Holders) of the applicable Securities to amend the Indenture in the manner described in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement and as set forth herein (such amendments, the Proposed Amendments). Under the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, an Eligible Holder of Securities may not deliver a Consent in the applicable Consent Solicitation, with respect to any Security, without tendering such Security for exchange in the corresponding Exchange Offer.
The Issuer has received consents to the Proposed Amendments from Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities currently outstanding.
The Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement provides that while this Supplemental Indenture shall be effective upon execution and delivery thereof, it shall become operative only upon consummation of the Exchange Offers; pursuant to the terms of the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, the Issuers obligation to accept for exchange, and to exchange the applicable principal amount of New Notes for, Securities validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the applicable Exchange Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the consummation of the Transaction (as defined in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation
3
Statement).
The Issuer has requested that the Trustee join it and the Original Guarantors in the execution of this Supplemental Indenture, and, in connection with that request, the Issuer has provided the Trustee with (i) the resolutions of the board of directors of the Issuer and of the board of directors of each Original Guarantor, authorizing the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of consents to the other Proposed Amendments from Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities currently outstanding, and (iii) an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel relating to this Supplemental Indenture as contemplated by the Indenture.
All things necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Issuer, the Original Guarantors and the Trustee and a valid amendment of the Indenture have been done.
