Pursuant to the Euro Notes Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell the Euro Notes to the Euro Notes Underwriters, and the Euro Notes Underwriters agreed to purchase the Euro Notes for resale to the public. The Euro Notes Offering is expected to close on or about March 9, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Euro Notes Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Euro Notes Underwriters against certain liabilities and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities.

LLC and Santander Investment Securities Inc. as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Dollar Notes Underwriters”).

The offerings of the Notes were made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-234311) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 24, 2019.
The Dollar Notes were issued under an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of April 26, 1988 (as supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as successor to Bankers Trust Company, as trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 24, 1992, and the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2007, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as successor to Bankers Trust Company, as trustee.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Dollar Notes, together with cash on hand, if necessary, for the purchase of certain of its outstanding U.S. dollar-denominated notes (the “Dollar Tender Offer Notes”) and the payment of related accrued and unpaid interest, premiums, fees and expenses (the “Dollar Tender Offers”) and the redemptions of certain of the Dollar Tender Offer Notes that remain outstanding following the consummation of the Dollar Tender Offers, if applicable. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Euro Notes, together with cash on hand, if necessary, for the purchase of certain of its outstanding euro-denominated notes (the “Euro Tender Offer Notes”) and the payment of related accrued and unpaid interest, premiums, fees and expenses (the “Euro Tender Offers”), the redemptions of certain of the Euro Tender Offer Notes that remain outstanding following the consummation of the Euro Tender Offers, if applicable, and to repay the Company’s euro-denominated Floating Rate Notes due 2021.
