菲利普莫里斯国际股份有限公司。

 

本票据是公司发行的债券、票据或其他债务证据(以下称为“证券”)之一,该系列首次发行总本金金额为7.5亿美元,所有此类证券均根据一项于2008年4月25日签订的信托契约由该公司与美国银行作为受托人(以下称为“信托契约”)发行和将要发行,特此参考该信托契约及所有其他附加条款以获得相应证券持有人的权利及权利限制,以及受托人对每一系列证券及公司的权利、义务、职责和豁免,以及证券的验证和交付条款。根据信托契约的规定,证券可以分为一个或多个系列发行,这些系列可以以不同的总本金金额发行,可以在不同的时间到期,可以按不同利率支付利息(如有),可以受不同的赎回条款(如有)约束,可以受不同的偿还基金、购买或类似基金(如有)约束,可以受不同的契约和违约事件约束,或者可能因信托契约所规定或允许而有所不同。本票据是所述的业务中指定的一系列证券中的一个4.750%到期备忘录。

 

信托契约书第1010条将适用于票据,但(i)在信托契约书第1010条中使用时,“持有人”将指票据的受益所有人或代表受益所有人持有票据的任何人;(ii)以下语言将取代信托契约书1010条的(k)节: “根据代码第1471至1474条的条文实施的任何税项,评估或其他政府收费”以及(iii)以下语言将作为信托契约书第1010条的(l)节包括: “项目(a)、(b)、(c)、 (d)、(e)、(f)、(g)、(h)、(i)、(j)和(k)的任意组合。”

 

在2031年9月1日之前(即票据预定到期日之前两个月的日期)(以下称为「平价赎回日」),公司可以按其选择,随时全额或部分赎回票据(等于$2,000或其超过$1,000的整数倍)。赎回价格将等于以下两者中较高者:(i)要赎回的票据的本金金额的100%和(ii)每一笔剩余预定本金及利息支付的现值之和,如果这些票据在平价赎回日到期(不包括赎回日至赎回日的已经累积的利息)按半年度折现(假设为360天一年,由12个30天的月份组成),其折现率等于下文定义的适用国债利率加上15个基点,并且在任何情况下,若有,包含未支付的已累积利息至赎回日(不包括赎回日)。

 

在部分交割看涨日期之后,公司可自行选择在任何时间全部或不时部分赎回票据(每次为2,000美元或超过此数之整数倍数),赎回价等于被赎回票据的本金金额的100%,加上截至赎回日未付利息(如有)。

 

 

 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming for this purpose that the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of BBVA Securities Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or their affiliates, which are primary United States government securities dealers and one other leading primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City reasonably designated by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 2:00 pm New York time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (such price expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

 

The Company will, or will cause the Trustee or Paying Agent on its behalf to, mail notice of a redemption to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed by first-class mail (or otherwise transmit in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary) at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption. On or before the applicable redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee, funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and (unless the redemption date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued and unpaid interest on, such Notes to be redeemed on that redemption date. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by lot, pro rata or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate in each case in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating the “make-whole” premium.

 

 

 

The Company may redeem the Notes prior to maturity in whole, but not in part, on not more than 60 days’ notice and not less than 30 days’ notice at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of such Notes plus any accrued interest and additional amounts to the date fixed for redemption if:

 

·as a result of a change in or amendment to the tax laws, regulations or rulings of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States) that is announced or becomes effective on or after November 1, 2024, the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to the Notes as described in Section 1010 of the Indenture, or

 

·on or after November 1, 2024, any action is taken by a taxing authority of, or any decision is rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in, the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, including any of those actions specified in the bullet point above, whether or not such action is taken or decision is rendered with respect to the Company, or any change, amendment, application or interpretation is officially proposed, which, in any such case, in the written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing, will result in a material probability that the Company will become obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to the Notes,

 

and the Company in its business judgment determines that such obligations cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company.

 

If the Company exercises its option to redeem the Notes for tax reasons, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by an authorized officer stating that it is entitled to redeem the Notes and the written opinion of independent legal counsel if required.

 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire principal of all the Securities of any series upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 501(4) or 501(5) of the Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding (or, if such default is not applicable to all series of the Securities, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of all series to which it is applicable) (in each case voting as a single class) may declare the entire principal amount of the Securities of all series so affected due and payable in the manner and with effect provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5) occurs with respect to the Company, all of the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable in the manner with the effect provided in the Indenture without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder.

 

 

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series of Securities affected thereby (voting as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected thereby at the time Outstanding (voting as a single class) to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences to the affected series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company to be maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at any other office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a like tenor and of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

The Company, the Trustee for the Notes and any agent of the Company or such Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, such Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

 

 

Certain of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to Notes may be terminated if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes, as provided in the Indenture.

 

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

Certain terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture have the meanings set forth therein.
