Section 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Conditions Precedent; Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. The Company shall mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary if the series of Notes to be redeemed are issued in the form of one or more Global Notes) notice of any redemption to the registered holders of the Notes of the series to be redeemed at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. The Company shall notify the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to mailing such notice to holders unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. Any redemption pursuant to Section 3.01(a) (and notice thereof) in connection with a proposed corporate transaction involving the Company or Shire or any of its subsidiaries (including an acquisition, disposition, or other strategic transaction, or a capital raising, including an equity offering or an incurrence of indebtedness) may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related transaction.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.01, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or, to the extent that selection on a pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by such other method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate or as required by the applicable procedures of the Depositary.

(a)        any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Jurisdiction affecting taxation; or

 

(b)       any change in the existing official position or the stating of an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) of a Relevant Jurisdiction affecting taxation, which change or amendment becomes effective (or with respect to official position, is announced) on or after the date of issuance of the Notes (or in the case of a successor Person that is not organized or a tax resident in a jurisdiction that is a Relevant Jurisdiction as of the date of such succession, on or after the date of succession), the Company or Shire is, or on the next Interest Payment Date would be, required to pay Additional Amounts, and such requirement cannot be avoided by the taking of reasonable measures by the Company or Shire, as applicable; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or Shire, as applicable, would be required to pay Additional Amounts were a payment under or in respect of such series of Notes then due. The Company shall notify the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to mailing such notice of redemption to holders by delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that a change or amendment referred to in the prior paragraph has occurred and that the requirement to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Company

 

12

 

or Shire, as applicable. The Trustee shall accept such certificate as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of such series of Notes.

In the event that any such withholding or deduction is so required, the Company or Shire will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by the beneficial owner of such Notes of such amounts as would have been received by such beneficial owner had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable:

15

 

including, without limitation, such Noteholder’s or beneficial owner’s being or having been a national, domiciliary or resident of such Relevant Jurisdiction or treated as a tax resident thereof or being or having been physically present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein;

 

(B)       the presentation of such Notes (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the later of the date on which the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such Notes became due and payable pursuant to the terms thereof or was made or duly provided for, except to the extent that the Noteholder thereof would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts if it had presented such Notes for payment on any date within such 30-day period;

 

(C)       the failure of the Noteholder or beneficial owner to comply with a request of the Company, Shire or any Paying Agent, addressed to such Noteholder, to provide information concerning such Noteholder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with any Relevant Jurisdiction, if compliance with such request is required under the tax laws of the Relevant Jurisdiction in order to reduce or eliminate any withholding or deduction as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such Noteholder; or

 

(D)       the presentation of such Notes (where presentation is required) for payment in the Relevant Jurisdiction, unless such Notes could not have been presented for payment elsewhere;

 

(ii)       any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

(iii)       any withholding or deduction that is imposed or levied on a payment and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income or any directive amending, supplementing or replacing such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive or directives;

 

(iv)       any combination of taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii); or

 

(b)       to a Noteholder that is a fiduciary, partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of any payment to the extent that, under the laws of a Relevant Jurisdiction, such payment would be required to be included in the income for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, partner or beneficial owner been the Noteholder thereof.

 

(c)       In addition, any amounts to be paid on the Notes will be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal

 

16

 

Revenue Code (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code, and no Additional Amounts will be required to be paid on account of any such deduction or withholding.

 

(d)       Whenever in this Supplemental Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest or any other amounts on, or in respect of, any Notes of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant to this Article 8 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding the payment of Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

Section 9.01. Change of Control Offer. If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to a series of Notes, other than with respect to a series of Notes for which the Company has exercised its right to redeem as described in Section 3.01, the Company shall be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder of such series of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder’s Notes on the terms set forth below. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be repurchased to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to a series of Notes or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute a Change of Control, a written notice shall be sent to holders of the Notes of such series and the Trustee describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to such series of Notes and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Notes electing to have such Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer such Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

 

17

 

(1)       accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

(2)       deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

 

(3)       deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.

 

Section 9.02. Third Party Change of Control Offer.

Section 9.03. Right to Full Redemption. In the event that Noteholders of 90% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of a series then outstanding accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company purchases all of the Notes of such series tendered by such Noteholders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase of Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes of such series that remain outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes of such series that remain outstanding, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of the holders of the Notes of such series on a relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

 

Section 9.04. Compliance with Rule 14e-1. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on March 23 and September 23 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing March 23, 2017, to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the March 8 or September 8 (whether or not a Business Day), respectively, immediately prior to each Interest Payment Date (each, a “Record Date”) (provided that the interest due on the Maturity Date or a Redemption Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) of a Note of this series will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Note is payable), at the rate of 1.900% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment.

 

The amount of interest payable for any full semi-annual Interest Period will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full semi-annual Interest Period will be calculated on the basis of a 30-day month and, for any period less than a month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such scheduled Interest Payment Date). The term “Business Day” means any calendar day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banking institutions are not required to be open for business in the City of New York, New York.

 

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name the relevant Notes, or any predecessor Notes, are registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided that the interest due on the Maturity Date or a Redemption Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) of a Note of this series will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Note is payable.

 

Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, which shall initially be the Principal Office of the Trustee located therein, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the Person entitled to payment, provided that the paying agent shall have received written notice of such account designation at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment (subject to surrender of the relevant Note in the case of a payment of interest on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date).

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of September 23, 2016, between the Company, Shire plc (“Shire”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (herein called the Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 23, 2016, between the Company, Shire and the Trustee (the First Supplemental Indenture,” and the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, Shire and the Trustee and the holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $3,300,000,000.

 

All terms used but not defined in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

Except as otherwise may be specified in the Indenture, at any time and from time to time, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Notes of this series, in whole or in part, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

 

(i)       100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; and

 

(ii)       the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of the interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date.

 

The term “Optional Redemption Price” means, with respect to any redemption of Notes of this series, the redemption price for such Notes set forth in the preceding paragraph; and the term “Redemption Date” means, with respect to any redemption of Notes of this series, the date fixed for such redemption pursuant to the Indenture and the Notes.

 

The Company shall mail (or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) notice of any redemption to the registered holders of the Notes of this series to be redeemed at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. The Company shall notify the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to mailing such notice to holders. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed

 

A-R-1

 

pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or, to the extent that selection on a pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by such other method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate or as required by the applicable procedures of the Depositary. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Optional Redemption Price for any Notes of this series to be redeemed shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date or at such later time as is then permitted by the rules of the Depositary for the related Notes (if then registered as a Global Note); provided that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the Optional Redemption Price for the Notes of this series to be redeemed by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such Optional Redemption Price is to be paid.

 

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs and in ‎‎Article 3 and Section 9.03 of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Company may not redeem the Notes of this series at its option prior to the Maturity Date.

 

The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

 

The Indenture contains provisions for discharge of the Indenture and defeasance of the obligations of the Company at any time upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes of this series.

 

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall make a Change of Control Offer in accordance with ‎Section 9.01 of the Supplemental Indenture.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and Shire and the rights of the holders of the Notes at any time by the Company, Shire and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all series affected thereby at the time outstanding, voting as a single class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes of a series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all Notes of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. 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 registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

A-R-2

 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, 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 attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon from September 23, 2016 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on March 23 and September 23 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing March 23, 2017, to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the March 8 or September 8 (whether or not a Business Day), respectively, immediately prior to each Interest Payment Date (each, a “Record Date”) (provided that the interest due on the Maturity Date or a Redemption Date (in each case, whether or not an Interest Payment Date) of a Note of this series will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Note is payable), at the rate of 2.875% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment.

(ii)       the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes to be redeemed from the Redemption Date to, but excluding (in the case of interest), July 23, 2023 (not including any portion of the interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date.

The Company shall notify the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to mailing such notice to holders. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or, to the extent that selection on a pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by such other method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate or as required by the applicable procedures of the Depositary. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Optional Redemption Price for any Notes of this series to be redeemed shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date or at such later time as is then permitted by the rules of the Depositary for the related Notes (if then registered as a Global Note); provided that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the Optional Redemption Price for the Notes of this series to be redeemed by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such Optional Redemption Price is to be paid.

Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs and in ‎‎Article 3 and Section 9.03 of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Company may not redeem the Notes of this series at its option prior to the Maturity Date.

 

The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall make a Change of Control Offer in accordance with ‎Section 9.01 of the Supplemental Indenture.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and Shire and the rights of the holders of the Notes at any time by the Company, Shire and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all series affected thereby at the time outstanding, voting as a single class.
