Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 21, 2019, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (the “Company”) completed a public offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.000% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% Senior Notes due 2049 (the “2049 Notes” and, together with the 2024 Notes and the 2029 Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by the Indenture, dated as of November 5, 1999 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as successor in interest to State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee.
The 2024 Notes mature on December 1, 2024, the 2029 Notes mature on December 1, 2029 and the 2049 Notes mature on December 1, 2049. Interest on the Notes of each series is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 2020 and accrues from November 21, 2019. The Company may redeem the Notes of each series, in whole or in part, at its option at any time prior to (i) November 1, 2024 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes) with respect to the 2024 Notes, (ii) September 1, 2029 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes) with respect to the 2029 Notes and (iii) June 1, 2049 (six months prior to the maturity date of the 2049 Notes) with respect to the 2049 Notes, in each case, by paying a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, the Company may redeem the Notes of each series, in whole or in part, at its option at any time on or after (i) November 1, 2024 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes) with respect to the 2024 Notes, (ii) September 1, 2029 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes) with respect to the 2029 Notes and (iii) June 1, 2049 (six months prior to the maturity date of the 2049 Notes) with respect to the 2049 Notes, in each case, at 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes, 2029 Notes or 2049 Notes, as applicable, to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of its other senior unsecured indebtedness.
The Notes are subject to certain customary covenants, including limitations on the Company’s ability to merge, consolidate or sell assets; limitations on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to secure indebtedness with liens; and limitations on sale and leaseback transactions by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as described in the officers’ certificates setting forth the terms of the 2024 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2049 Notes (each, an “Officers’ Certificate”)), the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount.
The foregoing description of the Indenture and the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4 to Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-85947) filed on November 5, 1999; and to the full text of the Officers’ Certificate and the form of global note representing the 2024 Notes, to the full text of the Officers’ Certificate and the form of global note representing the 2029 Notes and to the full text of the Officers’ Certificate and the form of global note representing the 2049 Notes, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 hereto, respectively.
