本註記是公司發行的一個正式授權發行的抵押債券、票據或其他負債證明(以下稱為“證券”)之一,該系列在初始總本金金額為750,000,000美元下發行,所有這些發行的證券均根據2008年4月25日與滙豐銀行美國國家協會簽署的信託契約(以下簡稱“信託契約”)發行並將發行,請參閱信託契約及所有其他附加信託契約,以了解證券持有人在該等證券之下的權利與權利的限制以及受託人對每一系列證券和公司的權利、義務、職責和豁免,以及證券的認證和交付條款。根據信託契約的規定,證券可以以一個或多個系列發行,不同系列可以以不同的總本金金額發行,可以在不同時間到期,可以按不同利率(如果有的話)支付利息,可以受到不同的贖回條款(如果有的話)的約束,可以受到不同的沉重、購買或類似基金(如果有的話)的約束,可以受到不同的承諾和違約事件的約束並且可以根據信託契約所規定或允許其他變化。該註記是其中所指定的一系列證券之一,稱為2029年到期的4.625%票據(“票據”)之一。

 

信託契約書第1010條將適用於票據,但(i)在信託契約書第1010條中使用時,“持有人”將指票據的受益所有人或代表受益所有人持有票據的任何人;(ii)以下語言將取代信託契約書1010條的(k)節: “根據代碼第1471至1474條的條文實施的任何稅項,評估或其他政府收費”以及(iii)以下語言將作為信託契約書第1010條的(l)節包括: “項目(a)、(b)、(c)、 (d)、(e)、(f)、(g)、(h)、(i)、(j)和(k)的任意組合。”

 

在2029年10月1日之前(即票據預定到期日前一個月的日期)(“部分回購日期”),公司可以選擇全數贖回票據,或部分時間贖回(每次為2000美元,或超過此數額1000美元的整數倍)。贖回價格將為以下兩者中較大者:(i)贖回票據本金金額的100%以及(ii)如果該票據在部分回購日期到期時,每次剩餘應付本金和利息之現值之和(不包括截至贖回日的應計利息),以半年期為基礎(假設一年有360天,包括十二個30天的月份),按照等於適用的國庫利率(如下所定義)加10個基點的利率折扣至贖回日,再加上已欠息費用(如果有的話),但不把當日累積發生的應計利息納入。

 

在部分交割看漲日期之後,公司可自行選擇在任何時間全部或不時部分贖回票據(每次為2,000美元或超過此數之整數倍數),贖回價等於被贖回票據的本金金額的100%,加上截至贖回日未付利息(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.
