We may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time at the applicable redemption price determined as set forth under “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.” Upon the occurrence of a “change of control triggering event,” we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase, as described under “Description of the Notes—Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.”
On August 10, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to acquire (the “Capri Acquisition”) Capri Holdings Limited (“Capri”). We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to pay a portion of the consideration for the Capri Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. Pending the consummation of the Capri Acquisition, the net proceeds from this offering may be invested temporarily in cash equivalents or short-term investments. There will be no escrow account or security interest for the benefit of the holders of the Notes. See “Use of Proceeds.”
This offering is not contingent on the consummation of the Capri Acquisition, which, if completed, will occur subsequent to the closing of this offering. However, if (i) the Capri Acquisition has not been completed by February 10, 2025 (or such later date mutually agreed between us and Capri) (such date, the “special mandatory redemption end date”), (ii) prior to the special mandatory redemption end date, the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or (iii) we otherwise notify the trustee that we will not pursue the consummation of the Capri Acquisition, we will be required to redeem all of the Notes of each series at a redemption price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the special mandatory redemption date (as defined herein). We refer to such redemption as a “special mandatory redemption.” See “Use of Proceeds” and “Description of the Notes—Special Mandatory Redemption.”
The Notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and, upon consummation of the Capri Acquisition, will be structurally subordinated to certain indebtedness assumed in connection with the Capri Acquisition. See “Description of the Notes.”
Each series of the Notes is a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to apply for the Notes to be listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for the Notes to be quoted on any automated quotation system.
Substantially concurrently with or shortly after this offering, we expect to offer, by means of a separate prospectus supplement, approximately € aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated notes (the “Euro Notes”) at various maturities (the “Euro Notes Offering”). Neither the completion of this offering nor the Euro Notes Offering is contingent on the completion of the other, so it is possible that this offering occurs and the Euro Notes Offering does not occur, and vice versa. We cannot assure you that the Euro Notes Offering will be completed on the terms described herein, or at all. This prospectus supplement is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any Euro Notes being offered in the Euro Notes Offering. See “Description of Euro Notes Offering.”
