We are offering €1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our senior notes, consisting of €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 5.350% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 5.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) and €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 5.875% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes and, together with the 2025 Notes and the 2027 Notes, the “Notes”). The 2025 Notes will mature on November 27, 2025. The 2027 Notes will mature on November 27, 2027. The 2031 Notes will mature on November 27, 2031. We will pay interest on the 2025 Notes on November 27 of each year, commencing on November 27, 2024. We will pay interest on the 2027 Notes on November 27 of each year, commencing on November 27, 2024. We will pay interest on the 2031 Notes on November 27 of each year, commencing on November 27, 2024. Interest on the 2025 Notes will accrue at a rate of 5.350% per annum. Interest on the 2027 Notes will accrue at a rate of 5.375% per annum. Interest on the 2031 Notes will accrue at a rate of 5.875% per annum.
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 intend to apply to list the Notes on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The listing application will be subject to approval by the NYSE.
Additionally, before this offering, we offered, by means of a separate prospectus supplement, $4,500 million aggregate principal amount of U.S. dollar-denominated notes (the “USD Notes”) at various maturities (the “USD Notes Offering”). Neither the completion of this offering nor the USD Notes Offering is contingent on the completion of the other. We cannot assure you that the USD 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 USD Notes being offered in the USD Notes Offering. See “Description of USD Notes Offering.”
Investing in the Notes involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-17 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in the Notes.

IN CONNECTION WITH THE ISSUE OF THE NOTES, MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INTERNATIONAL PLC, IN ITS ROLE AS STABILIZING MANAGER (THE “STABILIZING MANAGER”) FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT MAY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS AND DIRECTIVES, OVER-ALLOT NOTES OR EFFECT TRANSACTIONS WITH A VIEW TO SUPPORTING THE MARKET PRICE OF THE NOTES AT A LEVEL HIGHER THAN THAT WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE PREVAIL.

PRIIPs Regulation / Prohibition of sales to EEA retail investors – The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

UK MIFIR product governance / Professional Investors and ECPs Only Target Market – Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is only eligible counterparties as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook (“COBS”), and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal Act) 2018 (“UK MiFIR”); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the manufacturers’ target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the “UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules”) is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
UK PRIIPs Regulation/Prohibition of sales to UK retail investors – The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (“UK”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended, the “EUWA”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the United Kingdom’s Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
The communication of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related free writing prospectus and any other document or materials relating to the issue of the Notes offered hereby is not being made, and such documents and/or materials have not been approved, by an authorized person for the purposes of section 21 of the FSMA. Accordingly, such documents and/or materials are not being distributed to, and must not be passed on to, the general public in the UK.

We and Capri have different fiscal years. We utilize a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. The fiscal year ended July 1, 2023 was a 52-week period, the fiscal year ended July 2, 2022 was a 52-week period and the fiscal year ended July 3, 2021 was a 53-week period.

to March 31. The fiscal year ended on April 1, 2023 was a 52-week period, the fiscal year ended on April 2, 2022 was a 53-week period and the fiscal year ended March 27, 2021 was a 52-week period. The first quarter of fiscal 2024 ended on July 1, 2023 and was a 13-week period, and the second quarter of fiscal 2024 ended on September 30, 2023 and was a 13-week period.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2023 and for the three months ended September 30, 2023 give effect to the Capri Acquisition and related transactions as if they had occurred on July 3, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 gives effect to the Capri Acquisition and related transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2023. In order to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended July 1, 2023, the information for Capri was prepared as follows: the historical statement of operations for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2023 of Capri was adjusted to reflect a trailing twelve-month period ending July 1, 2023 and a trailing three-month period ending September 30, 2023. The statement of operations of Capri for the trailing twelve-month period ending July 1, 2023 was derived by taking the audited statement of operations for the year ended April 1, 2023, combining the results for the three-month unaudited period ended July 1, 2023 and removing the results for the three-month unaudited period ended July 2, 2022.
Unless specifically indicated, the information presented in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, does not give effect to the Capri Acquisition.
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and certain documents incorporated by reference herein include registered trademarks, trade names and service marks of the Company and its subsidiaries, and this prospectus supplement and certain documents incorporated by reference herein includes registered trademarks, trade names and service marks of Capri and its subsidiaries.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
This prospectus supplement includes pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, which has not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). As used in this prospectus supplement, pro forma Adjusted EBITDA means pro forma net income (loss) prior to interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, certain non-cash charges that we may add back such as stock-based compensation expense and cloud computing amortization, as well as items affecting comparability, including acquisition and integration costs. See “Certain Summary Historical and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data.” We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons.
In particular, we believe that pro forma Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as a means of evaluating operating performance and reflects the Adjusted EBITDA of the Company and Capri on a combined basis. Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, which is in addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures as used by us may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies.
We believe pro forma Adjusted EBITDA:
reflects the ongoing business of the combined company in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in its business, as they exclude certain non-recurring income and expense that do not occur regularly as part of the normal activities;
provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the underlying sustainable performance of the combined business across periods; and
provides a normalized view of the operating performance of the combined business by excluding items that are either noncash or infrequently occurring in nature.
S-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Following the consummation of the Capri Acquisition, Adjusted EBITDA will be one of the primary measures that we will use for planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA is used by different companies for differing purposes and is often calculated in ways that reflects the particular circumstances of those companies. You should exercise caution in comparing this non-GAAP metric reported by us to such metric or other similar metrics as reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of performance under GAAP, and you should not consider this measure as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP metric does not necessarily indicate whether cash flow will be sufficient or available to meet our cash requirement and may not be indicative of our historical operating results, nor is such measure meant to be predictive of our future results. This non-GAAP metric has limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation. We compensate for these limitations by using this non-GAAP financial measure as a supplement to a GAAP financial measure and by presenting the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure. See “Certain Summary Historical and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data.”

SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, may contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and are based on management’s current expectations, that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “may,” “can,” “continue,” “project,” “assumption,” “should,” “expect,” “confidence,” “goals,” “trends,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “on track,” “future,” “well positioned to,” “plan,” “potential,” “position,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” “target,” similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words.. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If such risks or uncertainties materialize or such assumptions prove incorrect, our results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to revise or update any such forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.
Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
the impact of economic conditions, recession and inflationary measures;
the impact of the coronavirus pandemic;
our exposure to international risks, including currency fluctuations and changes in economic or political conditions in the markets where we sell or source our products;
our ability to retain the value of our brands and to respond to changing fashion and retail trends in a timely manner, including our ability to execute on our e-commerce and digital strategies;
our ability to successfully implement the initiatives under our 2025 growth strategy;
the effect of existing and new competition in the marketplace;
our ability to control costs;
the effect of seasonal and quarterly fluctuations on our sales or operating results;
the risk of cyber security threats and privacy or data security breaches;
our ability to protect against infringement of our trademarks and other proprietary rights;
the impact of tax and other legislation;
the risks associated with potential changes to international trade agreements and the imposition of additional duties on importing our products;
our ability to achieve intended benefits, cost savings and synergies from acquisitions, including our proposed acquisition of Capri;
the impact of pending and potential future legal proceedings; and
the risks associated with climate change and other corporate responsibility issues.
These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of significant risk factors that have the potential to cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations is described in “Risk Factors” on page S-17 of this prospectus supplement and in Part I, Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K, which we have filed with the SEC and is incorporated by reference herein, and in future filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

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”) by and among the Company, Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Capri Holdings Limited (“Capri”), which contemplates, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Capri, with Capri surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we have agreed to acquire (the “Capri Acquisition”) all of Capri's ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than (a) Capri's ordinary shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger that are owned or held in treasury by Capri or by the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries and (b) Capri's ordinary shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger that are held by holders who have properly exercised dissenters' rights in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 179 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended) of the British Virgin Islands) in cash at a purchase price of $57.00 per share, without interest, subject to any required tax withholding as provided in the Merger Agreement. The transaction values Capri at an enterprise value of approximately $8.5 billion, and is expected to close during calendar year 2024.
Financing Transactions
We intend to fund the purchase price of the Capri Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses with a combination of cash on hand, cash on hand at Capri, anticipated future cash flow and new debt, including the proceeds from this offering, the New Term Loan Facilities (as defined below) and the USD Notes Offering. We refer in this prospectus supplement to (i) the borrowings under the New Term Loan Facilities and the Revolving Facility (as defined below), if any, (ii) the consummation of this offering and (iii) the consummation of the USD Notes Offering as the “Financing Transactions.”
New Term Loan Facilities
On August 30, 2023, we entered into a definitive credit agreement (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “New Term Loan Agreement”) whereby Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent, the other agents party thereto, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions have committed to lend to us, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the New Term Loan Agreement, a $1.050 billion unsecured term loan facility maturing three years after the term loans thereunder are borrowed (the “Three-Year Term Loan Facility”) and a $350.0 million term loan facility maturing five years after the term loans thereunder are borrowed (the “Five-Year Term Loan Facility”; and collectively with the Three-Year Term Loan Facility, the “New Term Loan Facilities”).
Revolving Facility
On August 30, 2023, we amended our Existing Credit Agreement (as defined below), originally dated as of May 11, 2022, among us, as borrower, certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the financial institutions parties thereto as lenders (the “Existing Credit Agreement”) pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated as of August 30, 2023, among the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the “Amendment”; the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended pursuant to the Amendment and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Amended Credit Agreement”; and the Amended Credit Agreement, together with the New Term Loan Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”).
Under the Amended Credit Agreement, a syndicate of financial institutions and other lenders agreed to increase existing commitments or provide new commitments under the revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), resulting in an increase in the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Facility from $1.25 billion to $2.0 billion. Up to $250.0 million of the Revolving Facility will be available on a funds-certain basis to fund the purchase price of the Capri Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses.
USD Notes Offering
Before this offering, we offered, by means of a separate prospectus supplement, $4,500 million aggregate principal amount of U.S. dollar-denominated notes at various maturities as additional financing for the Capri

Acquisition. The completion of the USD Notes Offering is not conditioned on the closing of the Capri Acquisition or the consummation of this offering. However, we expect the USD Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption provision that will require us to redeem the USD Notes if the Capri Acquisition has not been consummated by the specified special mandatory redemption date. We cannot assure you that the USD 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 USD Notes being offered in the USD Notes Offering.
Bridge Facility
In connection with our entry into the Merger Agreement, we entered into a commitment letter, dated as of August 10, 2023, with Bank of America, N.A. and the other commitment parties party thereto, pursuant to which such commitment parties committed to provide a 364-day senior unsecured bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $8.0 billion (the “Bridge Facility”) to fund the purchase price of the Capri Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. As a result of us entering into the New Term Loan Agreement and the commitments thereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Facilities, the Bridge Facility commitments were reduced to $6.6 billion. Such Bridge Facility commitments will further be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate net proceeds of this offering and the USD Notes Offering. Although we do not currently expect to incur any borrowings under the Bridge Facility, there can be no assurance that such borrowings will not be made. In that regard, we may be required to borrow under the Bridge Facility if we do not generate sufficient net proceeds from this offering, the New Term Loan Facilities, the Revolving Facility and the USD Notes Offering to finance the Capri Acquisition.
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 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 the special mandatory redemption price. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Description of the Notes—Special Mandatory Redemption.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Certain Summary Historical and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data
The following table shows summary historical and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data for the periods and as of the dates indicated.
The summary historical financial data of Tapestry for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2023 were derived from the audited condensed consolidated financial statements of Tapestry incorporated by reference herein. The summary historical financial data of Tapestry as of September 30, 2023 and for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Tapestry incorporated by reference herein.
Tapestry utilizes a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on June 30, or the Saturday closest to June 30 if June 30 does not fall on a Saturday. Capri utilizes a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on March 31 or the Saturday closest to March 31, if March 31 does not fall on a Saturday. As a result, in order to prepare the summary historical financial data of Capri set forth in the table below and the summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data for the year ended July 1, 2023 and the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, the summary historical statement of operations data of Capri for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2023 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Capri incorporated by reference herein and was adjusted to reflect a trailing twelve-month period ending July 1, 2023 and a trailing three-month period ending September 30, 2023. The statement of operations of Capri for the trailing twelve-month period ending July 1, 2023 was derived by taking the audited statement of operations for the year ended April 1, 2023 incorporated by reference herein, combining the results of Capri for the three months ended July 1, 2023 that were derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Capri incorporated by reference herein and removing the results for the three months ended July 2, 2022 that were derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Capri incorporated by reference herein. The summary historical balance sheet data of Capri as of September 30, 2023 were derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Capri incorporated by reference herein.
The unaudited summary pro forma condensed combined financial data as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and for the year ended July 1, 2023 have been derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements filed by Tapestry as Exhibit 99.4 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 9, 2023, which is incorporated by reference herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations data for the year ended July 1, 2023 and for the three months ended September 30, 2023 give effect to the Capri Acquisition and related transactions as if they had occurred on July 3, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of September 30, 2023, gives effect to the Capri Acquisition and related transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2023.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement are presented to reflect the Capri Acquisition for illustrative purposes only. If the Capri Acquisition had occurred in the past, the operating results might have been materially different from those presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data should not be relied upon as an indication of operating results that would have been achieved if the Capri Acquisition contemplated herein had taken place on the specified date. For additional information regarding the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included or incorporated by reference herein, see our unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, together with the related notes thereto, as filed on November 9, 2023 in our Current Report on Form 8-K, as incorporated by reference herein.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements contain certain reclassification adjustments to conform the respective historical Capri financial statement presentation to Tapestry’s financial statement presentation.
Neither the historical nor unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are necessarily indicative of our future operating results. The summary historical and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented below are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference herein.

Includes interim borrowings under the Revolving Facility of $900 million, which approximately reflects the combined entity’s free cash flow for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. We have historically generated higher net sales, operating income and cash flows in the second quarter as compared to the rest of the year due to holiday seasonality and, therefore, we expect to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Capri Acquisition with this additional cash rather than with borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

S-13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

subordinated to the liabilities of our subsidiaries, including, upon consummation of the Capri Acquisition, to certain indebtedness assumed in connection with the Capri Acquisition.
As of September 30, 2023, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to this offering, the other Financing Transactions and the Capri Acquisition:

we would have had no secured indebtedness;

we would have had unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of approximately $10,500 million; and

our subsidiaries would have had liabilities of approximately $5,200 million.
Special Mandatory Redemption
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 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 the special mandatory redemption price. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Description of the Notes—Special Mandatory Redemption.”
Optional Redemption
We may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time at the applicable redemption prices determined as set forth under “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.”
Certain Covenants
The indenture governing the Notes will contain covenants limiting our ability and our subsidiaries’ ability to:

create certain liens;

enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and

consolidate or merge with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of our or their properties or assets to, another person.
However, each of these covenants is subject to a number of significant exceptions. You should read “Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants” for a description of these covenants.
Form and Denominations
We will issue the Notes in the form of one or more permanent global notes in registered form in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. Notes in denominations of less than €100,000 will not be available. The Notes will be issued in book-entry form, represented by one or more global notes deposited with or on behalf of a common depositary on behalf of Clearstream and Euroclear and registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for the accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear. Beneficial interests
S-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in any of the Notes will be shown on, and transfers will be effected only through, records maintained by Clearstream and Euroclear and their participants, and these beneficial interests may not be exchanged for certificated notes, except in limited circumstances.
Currency of Payment
All payments of principal of, the redemption price (if any), and interest and additional amounts (if any), on the Notes, will be payable in euro. However, if on or after the date of the issuance of the Notes, the euro is unavailable to us due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control, or if the euro is no longer being used by the then-member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to us or so used. In that event, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent euro/dollar exchange rate available on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date, as reported by Bloomberg. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Notes or the indenture governing the Notes. See “Description of the Notes—Issuance in Euro; Payment on the Notes.”
Further Issuances
We may, without consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes of any series ranking equally with the Notes of such series in all respects (other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto). These additional Notes will be consolidated and form a single series with the previously outstanding Notes of that series; provided that if such additional Notes are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with any Notes previously issued, such additional Notes will be issued under a separate CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code and/or any other identifying number.
Timing and Delivery
We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about November 27, 2023, which will be the seventh business day following the date of pricing of the Notes, or “T+7.” Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+7, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before delivery should consult their advisors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Use of Proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, cash on hand at Capri, anticipated future cash flow, the net proceeds from the USD Notes Offering and borrowings under the New Term Loan Facilities, to fund the purchase price of 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.”
Listing Information
Each series of the Notes is a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We intend to apply to list the Notes on the NYSE. The listing application will be subject to approval by the NYSE. If such a listing is obtained, we have no obligation under the indenture to maintain such listing and we may delist the Notes at any time. The underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market in the Notes of each series, but they are not obligated to do so, and any market-making in the Notes may be discontinued at any time in their sole discretion. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any market for the Notes. See “Underwriting.”

USD Notes Offering
Before this offering, we offered, by means of a separate prospectus supplement, $4,500 million aggregate principal amount of U.S. dollar-denominated notes (the “USD Notes”) at various maturities (the “USD Notes Offering”) as additional financing for the Capri Acquisition. The completion of the USD Notes Offering is not conditioned on the closing of the Capri Acquisition or the consummation of this offering. However, we expect the USD Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption provision that will require us to redeem the USD Notes if the Capri Acquisition has not been consummated by the specified special mandatory redemption date. We cannot assure you that the USD 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 USD Notes being offered in the USD Notes Offering.
Risk Factors
An investment in the Notes involves risk. You should carefully consider the information set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-17 of this prospectus supplement and those risk factors incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
S-16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Notes involves risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in the Notes, and in consultation with your own financial and legal advisors, you should carefully consider carefully all of the information set forth in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. In particular, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below related to the Notes and the offering, the risk factors that are incorporated by reference from the sections of the 2023 Form 10-K entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” where we identify other factors that could affect our business, including risks related to the Capri Acquisition and the risk factors that are incorporated by reference from the Capri 2023 Form 10-K and the Capri First Quarter Form 10-Q. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.”
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service our debt obligations, including our obligations under the Notes.
Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes, will depend on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, including the Notes.
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations.
The Notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our debt that is secured.
The Notes will be unsecured, unguaranteed obligations of Tapestry and will be effectively subordinated to any secured debt obligations that we may incur in the future to the extent of the value of the assets securing that debt. The effect of this subordination is that if we are involved in a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding, or upon a default in payment on, or the acceleration of, any of our secured debt, if any, our assets that secure debt will be available to pay obligations on the Notes only after all of our secured debt, if any, has been paid in full from those assets. Holders of the Notes will share the value of any remaining assets ratably with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, including trade creditors. We may not have sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the Notes then outstanding. See “Description of the Notes.”
The Notes will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
The Notes will be our exclusive obligations. The Notes will not be obligations of any of our subsidiaries and will be effectively subordinated to the liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries. The incurrence of other indebtedness or other liabilities by any of our subsidiaries is not prohibited under the indenture governing the Notes and could adversely affect our ability to pay our obligations on the Notes. A significant portion of our operations is conducted through our subsidiaries and our cash flow and consequent ability to service our debt, including the Notes, depends in part on our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts due under the Notes or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. Except to the extent we are a creditor with recognized claims against our subsidiaries, all claims of creditors, including trade creditors, and holders of the preferred stock, if any, of our subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims (and therefore the claims of our creditors, including holders of the Notes). Consequently, the Notes will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities, including trade payables of any of our subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or establish, including, upon consummation of the Capri Acquisition, certain indebtedness assumed in connection with the Capri Acquisition. As of September 30, 2023, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Financing Transactions and the Capri Acquisition, our subsidiaries would have had liabilities of approximately $5,200 million.
We are permitted to incur more debt, which may increase risks associated with our leverage.
Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries will be restricted from incurring additional unsecured debt or other liabilities, including additional unsecured senior debt, under the indenture governing the Notes. If we incur additional
S-17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

debt or liabilities, our ability to pay our obligations on the Notes could be adversely affected. We expect that we will from time to time incur additional debt and other liabilities. In addition, we will not be restricted under the indenture governing the Notes from paying dividends or repurchasing our securities.
The provisions in the indenture relating to change of control transactions will not necessarily protect you in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.
The provisions in the indenture will not necessarily afford you protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction that may adversely affect you, including a reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction involving us. These transactions may not involve a change in voting power or beneficial ownership or, even if they do, may not involve a change of the magnitude required under the definition of change of control triggering event in the indenture to trigger these provisions. Except as described under “Description of the Notes—Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event,” the indenture will not contain provisions that permit the holders of the Notes to require us to repurchase the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.
We may not be able to repurchase all of the Notes upon a change of control triggering event.
As described under “Description of the Notes—Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event,” we will be required to offer to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of events constituting a Change of Control Triggering Event. We may not have sufficient funds to repurchase the Notes in cash at such time or have the ability to arrange necessary financing on acceptable terms. Our failure to repurchase the Notes as required under the indenture would result in a default under the indenture and an event of default under the Credit Agreements, each of which could have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the Notes. In addition, our ability to repurchase the Notes for cash may be limited by law or the terms of other agreements relating to our indebtedness outstanding at the time.
There are no existing markets for the Notes. If any develops, it may not be liquid.
Each series of the Notes is a new issue of securities and there is currently no established market for the Notes. We intend to apply to list the notes on the NYSE. The listing application will be subject to approval by the NYSE. The underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the Notes of each series following the offering, as permitted by applicable laws or regulations. However, the underwriters have no obligation to make a market in the Notes and they may cease market-making activities at any time without notice. Further, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any market that may develop for the Notes, your ability to sell your Notes or the price at which you will be able to sell your Notes. Future trading prices of the Notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and results of operations, the then-current ratings assigned to the Notes and the market for similar securities. Any trading market that develops would be affected by many factors independent of and in addition to the foregoing, including:
the time remaining to the maturity of the Notes;
the outstanding amount of the Notes;
our financial performance;
our credit ratings with nationally recognized credit rating agencies; and
the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally.
The price at which you will be able to sell your Notes prior to maturity will depend on a number of factors and may be substantially less than the amount you originally invest.
We believe that the value of the Notes in any secondary market will be affected by the supply and demand for the Notes, the interest rate and a number of other factors. Some of these factors are interrelated in complex ways. As a result, the effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following paragraphs describe what we expect to be the impact on the market value of the Notes of a change in a specific factor, assuming all other conditions remain constant.
Interest rates. We expect that the market value of the Notes will be affected by changes in interest rates. In general, if benchmark interest rates increase are raised by the United States Federal Reserve or the European Central Bank, the market value of the Notes may decrease.
S-18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our credit rating. Actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings may affect the market value of the Notes.
Financial conditions and results. Actual or anticipated changes in our financial condition or results may affect the market value of the Notes. Lawmakers regularly evaluate proposals for substantial changes to fiscal policies. The enactment of any changes to fiscal policies could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, which may affect the market value of the Notes.
The impact of one of the factors above, such as an increase in interest rates, may offset some or all of any change in the market value of the Notes attributable to another factor, such as an improvement in our credit rating or our financial condition.
Ratings of the Notes may change after issuance and affect the market prices and marketability of the Notes.
We currently expect that, upon issuance, the Notes will be rated by one or more rating agencies. Such ratings are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an investment in the Notes, but rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such credit ratings will be issued or remain in effect for any given period of time or that such ratings will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies, if, in each rating agency’s judgment, circumstances so warrant. It is also possible that such ratings may be lowered in connection with the application of the proceeds of this offering or in connection with future events, such as future acquisitions. Holders of Notes will have no recourse against us or any other parties in the event of a change in or suspension or withdrawal of such ratings. Any lowering, suspension or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price or marketability of the Notes. In addition, any decline in the ratings of the Notes may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on acceptable terms.
If we are required to redeem the Notes in connection with a special mandatory redemption, holders of the Notes may not obtain their expected return on the Notes.
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 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 the special mandatory redemption price. Our ability to consummate the Capri Acquisition is subject to various closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and other matters over which we have limited or no control. If we abandon the Capri Acquisition or the Capri Acquisition is not consummated by the special mandatory redemption end date and we are required to redeem the Notes, holders of such Notes may not obtain their expected return on such Notes and may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from a special mandatory redemption in an investment that results in a comparable return. Holders of the Notes will have no right to opt out of the special mandatory redemption provisions of the Notes. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Description of the Notes—Special Mandatory Redemption.”
Your decision to invest in the Notes is made at the time of the offering of the Notes. Further, holders of the Notes will have no rights under the special mandatory redemption provisions if the Capri Acquisition is consummated, nor will such holders have any right to require us to redeem the Notes if, between the closing of the Notes offering and the closing of the Capri Acquisition, we experience any changes in our business or financial condition or if the terms of the Merger Agreement and Capri Acquisition change. In addition, there is no escrow account for or security interest in the proceeds of this offering for the benefit of holders of the Notes subject to the special mandatory redemption provisions, and such holders will therefore be subject to the risk that we may be unable to finance the special mandatory redemption if it is triggered. For a description of the special redemption provisions, see “Description of the Notes—Special Mandatory Redemption.”
This offering is not contingent on the consummation of any other financing, including the USD Notes Offering.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with the proceeds from other Financing Transactions, as described in “Use of Proceeds” herein. However, neither the completion of this offering nor the USD Notes Offering is contingent on the completion of the other. This prospectus supplement is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any USD Notes being offered in the USD Notes Offering. We cannot assure you that the USD Notes Offering will be completed on the terms described herein, or at all.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An investment in the Notes by a holder whose home currency is not euro entails significant risks.
Investors will have to pay for the Notes in euros. All payments of interest on and the principal of the Notes and any redemption or repurchase price for the Notes will be made in euros. An investment in the Notes by a holder whose home currency is not euro entails significant risks. These risks include the possibility of significant changes in rates of exchange between the holder’s home currency and euro and the possibility of the imposition or subsequent modification of foreign exchange controls. These risks generally depend on factors over which we have no control, such as economic, financial and political events and the supply of and demand for the relevant currencies. Moreover, market perceptions concerning the instability of the euro could significantly affect the exchange rates between the euro and the investor’s home currency. In the past, rates of exchange between euro and certain currencies have been highly volatile, and each holder should be aware that volatility may occur in the future. Fluctuations in any particular exchange rate that have occurred in the past, however, are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations in the rate that may occur during the term of the Notes. Depreciation of euro against the holder’s home currency would result in a decrease in the effective yield of the Notes below its coupon rate and, in certain circumstances, could result in a loss to the holder.
Trading in the clearing systems is subject to minimum denomination requirements.
The Notes will be issued only in minimum denominations of €100,000 and whole multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. It is possible that the clearing systems may process trades which could result in amounts being held in denominations smaller than the minimum denominations. If definitive notes are required to be issued in relation to such Notes in accordance with the provisions of the relevant global notes, a holder who does not have the minimum denomination of €100,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof in its account with the relevant clearing system at the relevant time may not receive all of its entitlement in the form of definitive notes unless and until such time as its holding satisfies the minimum denomination requirement.
Holders of the Notes will receive payments solely in euro except under the limited circumstances provided herein.
All payments of interest on and the principal of the Notes and any redemption price for, or additional amounts with respect to, the Notes will be made in euro except under the limited circumstances provided herein. See “Description of the Notes.” We, the underwriters, the trustee and the paying agent will not be obligated to convert, or to assist any registered owner or beneficial owner of such Notes in converting, payments of interest, principal, any redemption or repurchase price, or any additional amount in euro made with respect to such Notes into U.S. dollars or any other currency.
The Notes permit us to make payments in U.S. dollars if we are unable to obtain euros.
If, on or after the date of this prospectus supplement, the euro is unavailable to us due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to us or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the then most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate available on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date as determined by us in our sole discretion. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Notes or the indenture. There can be no assurance that this exchange rate will be as favorable to holders of Notes as the exchange rate otherwise determined by applicable law. These potential developments, or market perceptions concerning these and related issues, could adversely affect the value of the Notes.
In a lawsuit for payment on the Notes, an investor may bear currency exchange risk.
The indenture is, and the Notes will be, governed by the laws of the State of New York. Under New York law, a New York state court rendering a judgment on the Notes would be required to render the judgment in euros. However, the judgment would be converted into dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the
S-20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

judgment. Consequently, in a lawsuit for payment on the Notes, investors would bear currency exchange risk until a New York state court judgment is entered, which could be a significant amount of time. A federal court sitting in New York with diversity jurisdiction over a dispute arising in connection with the Notes would apply New York law.
In courts outside of New York, investors may not be able to obtain a judgment in a currency other than dollars. For example, a judgment for money in an action based on the Notes in many other United States federal or state courts ordinarily would be enforced in the United States only in dollars. The date used to determine the rate of conversion of euros into dollars would depend upon various factors, including which court renders the judgment and when the judgment is rendered.
Your rights as a holder of the Notes will be limited so long as the Notes are issued as book-entry interests.
Owners of the book-entry interests will not be considered owners or holders of Notes unless and until definitive Notes are issued in exchange for book-entry interests. Instead, the common depositary (or its nominee) for Euroclear and Clearstream will be the sole registered holder of the Global Notes.
Payments of principal, interest and other amounts owing on or in respect of the Notes in global form will be made to Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch, the principal paying agent, which will make payments to Euroclear and Clearstream. Thereafter, such payments will be credited to Euroclear and Clearstream participants’ accounts that hold book-entry interests in the Notes in global form and credited by such participants to indirect participants. After payment to the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, none of us, the trustee or any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments of interest, principal or other amounts to Euroclear and Clearstream, or to owners of book-entry interests. Accordingly, if you own a book-entry interest in the relevant Notes, you must rely on the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream and, if you are not a participant in Euroclear and/or Clearstream, on the procedures of the participant through which you own your interest, to exercise any rights and obligations of a holder of the Notes under the indenture.
Owners of book-entry interests will not have the direct right to act upon our solicitations for consents or requests for waivers or other actions from holders of the Notes. Instead, if you own a book-entry interest, you will be reliant on the common depositary to act on your instructions and/or will be permitted to act directly only to the extent you have received appropriate proxies to do so from Euroclear and Clearstream or, if applicable, from a participant. We cannot assure you that procedures implemented for the granting of such proxies will be sufficient to enable you to vote on any requested actions or to take any other action on a timely basis.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of €1,483.1 million (after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and our estimated offering expenses). We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, cash on hand at Capri, anticipated future cash flow, the net proceeds from the USD Notes Offering and borrowings under the New Term Loan Facilities, to fund the purchase price of 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.
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 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 the special mandatory redemption price. See “Description of the Notes—Special Mandatory Redemption.”
The following table summarizes the estimated sources and uses of funds for the Capri Acquisition. The table assumes that the Capri Acquisition and the Financing Transactions are consummated simultaneously, but this offering and the USD Notes Offering are expected to occur before the consummation of the Capri Acquisition. The actual amounts set forth in the table and in the accompanying footnotes are subject to adjustment and may differ at the time of the consummation of the Capri Acquisition depending on several factors, including differences from our estimation of fees and expenses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS
The following is a summary of our existing indebtedness. The following summary does not include intercompany obligations. Please see the information incorporated by reference herein for a further description of this indebtedness as well as our and our subsidiaries’ other indebtedness.
Existing Term Loan Facility and Revolving Facility
On May 11, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders, pursuant to which the lenders made available to the Company a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility and provided the Company with $500.0 million in unsecured term loans (the “Existing Term Loan Facility”). On August 30, 2023, the Company amended the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated as of August 30, 2023, among the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the “Amendment”; and the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended pursuant to the Amendment and as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).
Under the Amended Credit Agreement, a syndicate of financial institutions and other lenders agreed to increase existing commitments or provide new commitments under the revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), resulting in an increase in the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Facility from $1.25 billion to $2.0 billion.
Both the Revolving Facility and the Existing Term Loan Facility (collectively, the “Existing Credit Facilities”) will mature on May 11, 2027. The Company and its subsidiaries must comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum net leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00; provided that if the Capri Acquisition is consummated the Company and its subsidiaries must instead comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum net leverage ratio of (i) from and including the closing date of the Capri Acquisition to but excluding June 28, 2025, 4.75 to 1.00, (ii) from and including June 28, 2025 to but excluding June 27, 2026, 4.50 to 1.00 and (iii) from and including June 27, 2026 and thereafter, 4.00 to 1.00.
Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (i) for borrowings in U.S. Dollars, either (a) an alternate base rate or (b) a rate based on the forward-looking SOFR term rate administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (or any successor administrator satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), (ii) for borrowings in Euros, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, (iii) for borrowings in Pounds Sterling, the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate and (iv) for borrowings in Japanese Yen, the Tokyo Interbank Offer Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin is adjusted by reference to a grid (the “Pricing Grid”) based on the ratio of (a) consolidated total debt to (b) consolidated EBITDAR (the “Gross Leverage Ratio”). Additionally, the Company pays facility fees, calculated at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid, on the full amount of the Revolving Facility, payable quarterly in arrears, and certain fees with respect to letters of credit that are issued. The Revolving Facility may be used to finance the working capital needs, capital expenditures, permitted investments, share purchases, dividends and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (which may include commercial paper backup). Up to $250.0 million of the Revolving Facility will be available on a funds-certain basis to fund the purchase price of the Capri Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2023.
The Existing Term Loan amortizes in an amount equal to 5.00% per annum, with payments made quarterly. Borrowings under the Existing Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (i) an alternate base rate or (ii) a rate based on the forward-looking SOFR term rate administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (or any successor administrator satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin is adjusted by reference to a pricing grid based on the Gross Leverage Ratio.
New Term Loan Facilities
On August 30, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive credit agreement (the “New Term Loan Agreement”) whereby Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent, the other agents party thereto, and a syndicate of banks and financial institutions have committed to lend to the Company, subject to the satisfaction or
S-25

TABLE OF CONTENTS

waiver of the conditions set forth in the Term Loan Agreement, a $1.05 billion unsecured term loan facility maturing three years after the term loans thereunder are borrowed (the “Three-Year Term Loan Facility”) and a $350.0 million term loan facility maturing five years after the term loans thereunder are borrowed (the “Five-Year Term Loan Facility”; and collectively with the Three-Year Term Loan Facility, the “New Term Loan Facilities”). The Company plans to use borrowings under the New Term Loan Facilities to pay a portion of the consideration for the Capri Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses.
The Company and its subsidiaries must comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum net leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00; provided that if the Capri Acquisition is consummated the Company and its subsidiaries must instead comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum net leverage ratio of (i) from and including the closing date of the Capri Acquisition to but excluding June 28, 2025, 4.75 to 1.00, (ii) from and including June 28, 2025 to but excluding June 27, 2026, 4.50 to 1.00, and (iii) from and including June 27, 2026 and thereafter, 4.00 to 1.00.
Borrowings under the New Term Loan Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an alternate base rate or (b) a rate based on the forward-looking SOFR term rate administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (or any successor administrator satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be adjusted by reference to a grid based on the ratio of (a) consolidated debt (with certain customary deductions for unrestricted cash and permitted investments) to (b) consolidated EBITDAR. The applicable margin will initially be (x) in the case of the Three-Year Term Loan Facility, 0.250% for base rate loans and 1.250% for SOFR loans and (y) in the case of the Five-Year Term Loan Facility, 0.375% for base rate loans and 1.375% for SOFR loans. Additionally, the Company will pay a ticking fee of 0.15% on the average daily amount of the unused commitments of the New Term Loan Facilities. As of September 30, 2023 there were no borrowings outstanding under the New Term Loan Facilities.
In connection with the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a commitment letter, dated as of August 10, 2023, with Bank of America, N.A., Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and the other commitment parties party thereto, pursuant to which such commitment parties committed to provide a 364-day senior unsecured bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $8.0 billion (the “Bridge Facility”) to fund the purchase price of the Capri Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. As a result of the Company entering into the New Term Loan Agreement and the commitments thereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Facilities, the commitments under the Bridge Facility were reduced to $6.6 billion.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The following description of the general terms of the Notes should be read in conjunction with the statements under “Description of Debt Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. If this summary differs in any way from the “Description of Debt Securities” in the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on this summary.
General
Tapestry, Inc. will issue €1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes under an indenture dated as of December 1, 2021 (the “base indenture”), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture with respect to each series of Notes, to be dated as of the closing date of this offering, between Tapestry, Inc. and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, and Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch, as paying agent, referred to collectively with the supplemental indenture as the “indenture.” We intend to enter into an agency agreement among us, Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch as paying agent, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as transfer agent, security registrar and trustee.
The indenture will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The following description of the provisions of the indenture is only a summary. You should read the entire indenture carefully before investing in the Notes. You can obtain a copy of the indenture by following the directions under the caption “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus supplement.
Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in the following summary that are defined in the indenture have the meanings used in the indenture. As used in this “Description of the Notes,” references to “Tapestry,” “we,” us” and “our” refer to Tapestry, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and do not, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Tapestry’s subsidiaries.
Each series of the Notes will be unsecured debt securities under the indenture. The amount of debt securities that we may issue under the indenture is unlimited. After completion of this offering, we may issue additional notes of any series offered by this prospectus supplement without your consent and without notifying you. Any such additional notes may be consolidated and form a single series with, and have the same ranking, interest rate, maturity date, redemption rights and other terms as the applicable series of Notes offered hereby; provided that, if such additional notes are not fungible for United States federal income tax purposes with any Notes of the same series previously issued, such additional notes will be issued under a separate CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code and/or any other identifying number. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Notes” for all purposes of the indenture and this “Description of the Notes” include any additional notes that are actually issued. The Notes will be issued in minimum principal amounts of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.
The Notes will not have the benefit of a sinking fund.
We intend to apply to list each series of Notes on the New York Stock Exchange. If such a listing is obtained, we have no obligation to maintain such listing and we may delist any series of the Notes at any time. Currently, there is no public market for any series of the Notes.
Principal, Maturity and Interest
The 2025 Notes will mature on November 27, 2025 and will bear interest at the rate of 5.350% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable annually, in cash, in arrears on November 27 of each year, commencing on November 27, 2024 to the registered holders of record thereof at the close of business on the immediately preceding November 12 of each year.
The 2027 Notes will mature on November 27, 2027 and will bear interest at the rate of 5.375% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable annually, in cash, in arrears on November 27 of each year, commencing on November 27, 2024 to the registered holders of record thereof at the close of business on the immediately preceding November 12 of each year.
The 2031 Notes will mature on November 27, 2031 and will bear interest at the rate of 5.875% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable annually, in cash, in arrears on November 27 of each year, commencing on November 27, 2024 to the registered holders of record thereof at the close of business on the immediately preceding November 12 of each year.
The interest rate on the Notes will be subject to adjustment as described below under “—Interest Rate Adjustment Based on Rating Events.”
S-29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interest on the Notes of a series will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes of such series (or November 27, 2023 if no interest has been paid on the Notes of such series), to but excluding the next scheduled interest payment date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. If any interest payment date falls on a day that is not a business day, the payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next business day, and no interest shall accrue on the amount of interest due on that interest payment date for the period from and after such interest payment date to the date of payment.
We will pay the principal of and interest on each Note to the registered holder in euros in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, so long as the Notes are in book-entry form, we will make payments of principal and interest through the paying agent.
Issuance in Euro; Payment on the Notes
Initial holders will be required to pay for the Notes in euro, and all payments of principal of, the redemption price (if any), and interest and Additional Amounts (if any), on the Notes, will be payable in euro. However, if on or after the date of the issuance of the Notes, the euro is unavailable to us due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control, or if the euro is no longer being used by the then-member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to us or so used. In that event, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent euro/dollar exchange rate available on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date, as reported by Bloomberg. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the Notes or the indenture governing the Notes. Neither the trustee nor any paying agent shall have any responsibility whatsoever for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.
Investors will be subject to foreign exchange risks as to payments of principal and interest that may have important economic and tax consequences to them. See “Risk Factors” and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
As of November 9, 2023, the exchange rate published by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board for the euro/USD exchange rate was €1.00 = U.S. $1.0710.
“euro” means the single currency of participating member states of the economic and monetary union as contemplated in the Treaty on European Union.
Ranking
The Notes will be our senior unsecured obligations. Payment of the principal and interest on the Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and, to the extent we incur subordinated indebtedness in the future, rank senior in right of payment to our subordinated indebtedness. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our current or future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of any assets securing such indebtedness.
We conduct many of our operations through subsidiaries, which generate a substantial portion of our operating income and cash. Contractual provisions, laws or regulations, as well as any subsidiary’s financial condition and operating requirements, may limit our ability to obtain or receive cash from our subsidiaries in order to service our debt obligations, including making payments on the Notes. The Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations of our subsidiaries, including upon consummation of the Capri Acquisition, to certain indebtedness assumed in connection with the Capri Acquisition, and including claims with respect to trade payables.
As of September 30, 2023, we had $1,630 million of outstanding senior indebtedness. As of September 30, 2023, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to this offering, the other Financing Transactions and the Capri Acquisition: (i) we would have had no secured indebtedness; (ii) we would have had unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of approximately $10,500 million; and (iii) our subsidiaries would have had liabilities of approximately $5,200 million. See “Capitalization.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interest Rate Adjustment Based on Rating Events
The interest rate payable on each series of Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if Moody’s or S&P (or, if applicable, a Substitute Rating Agency) (each as defined under “—Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event”) downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) its rating assigned to such series of Notes, as set forth below. Each of Moody’s, S&P and any Substitute Rating Agency is an “Interest Rate Rating Agency,” and together they are “Interest Rate Rating Agencies.”
If the rating of a series of Notes from one or both of Moody’s or S&P (or, if applicable, any Substitute Rating Agency) is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate of such series of Notes will increase from the interest rate payable on such series Notes on the date of their initial issuance by an amount equal to the percentage set forth opposite that rating:
Moody’s Rating*
Percentage
Ba1
0.25%
Ba2
0.50%
Ba3
0.75%
B1 or below
1.00%
S&P Rating*
Percentage
BB+
0.25%
BB
0.50%
BB-
0.75%
B+ or below
1.00%
*
Including the equivalent ratings of any Substitute Rating Agency.
Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P (or, in either case, any Substitute Rating Agency), shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments.
No adjustment in the interest rate on such series of Notes shall be made solely as a result of an Interest Rate Rating Agency ceasing to provide a rating on such series of Notes. If at any time fewer than two Interest Rate Rating Agencies provide a rating on such series of Notes for reasons beyond our control, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating on such series of Notes from a Substitute Rating Agency for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the per annum interest rate on such series of Notes pursuant to the tables above, (1) such Substitute Rating Agency will be substituted for the last Interest Rate Rating Agency to provide a rating on such series of Notes but which has since ceased to provide such rating, (2) the relative ratings scale used by such Substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings to senior unsecured debt will be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by us and, for purposes of determining the applicable ratings included in the applicable table above with respect to such Substitute Rating Agency, such ratings shall be deemed to be the equivalent ratings used by Moody’s or S&P, as applicable, in such table, and (3) the per annum interest rate on such series of Notes will increase or decrease, as the case may be, such that the interest rate equals the interest rate payable on such series of Notes on the date of their initial issuance plus the appropriate percentage, if any, set forth opposite the rating from such Substitute Rating Agency in the applicable table above (taking into account the provisions of clause (2) above) (plus any applicable percentage resulting from a decreased rating by the other Interest Rate Rating Agency). For so long as (a) only one Interest Rate Rating Agency provides a rating on such series of Notes, any increase or decrease in the interest rate on such series of Notes necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by that Interest Rate Rating Agency shall be twice the applicable percentage set forth in the applicable table above and (b) no Interest Rate Rating Agency provides a rating on such series of Notes, the interest rate on such series of Notes will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate payable on such series of Notes on the date of their initial issuance. In no event shall (x) the interest rate for such series of Notes be reduced to below the interest rate payable on such series of Notes on the date of their initial issuance or (y) the total increase in the interest rate on such series of Notes exceed 2.00% above the interest rate payable on such series of Notes on the date of their initial issuance. If Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate such series of Notes or make a rating of such series of Notes publicly available for reasons within our control, we will not be entitled

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to obtain a rating from a Substitute Rating Agency and the increase or decrease in the per annum interest rate on such series of Notes shall be determined in the manner described above as if either only one or no Interest Rate Rating Agency provides a rating on such series of Notes, as the case may be.
If at any time the interest rate on such series of Notes has been adjusted upward and any of the Interest Rate Rating Agencies subsequently increases its rating of such series of Notes, the interest rate on such series of Notes will be decreased such that the interest rate on such series of Notes equals the interest rate payable on such series of Notes on the date of their initial issuance plus the applicable percentages set forth opposite the ratings in effect immediately following the increase in the tables above; provided that if Moody’s or any Substitute Rating Agency subsequently increases its rating on such series of Notes to “Baa3” (or its equivalent if with respect to any Substitute Rating Agency) or higher and S&P or any Substitute Rating Agency subsequently increases its rating on such series of Notes to “BBB-” (or its equivalent if with respect to any Substitute Rating Agency) or higher, the per annum interest rate on such series of Notes will be decreased to the interest rate payable on such series of Notes on the date of their initial issuance.
Any interest rate increase or decrease described above will take effect from the first day of the first interest payment period following the interest payment period during which a rating change occurs that requires an adjustment in the interest rate. As such, interest will not accrue at such increased or decreased rate until the next interest payment date following the date on which a rating change occurs.
If any Interest Rate Rating Agency changes its rating of such series of Notes more than once during any particular interest period, the last such change by such agency to occur will control in the event of a conflict for purposes of any interest rate increase or decrease with respect to such series of Notes described above.
The interest rates on such series of Notes will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by any Interest Rate Rating Agency) if such series of Notes become rated “Baa1” (or its equivalent) or higher by Moody’s (or any Substitute Rating Agency) and “BBB+” (or its equivalent) or higher by S&P (or any Substitute Rating Agency), or one of those ratings if rated by only one Interest Rate Rating Agency, with a stable or positive outlook.
If the interest rate payable on such series of Notes is increased as described above, the term “interest”, as used with respect to such series of Notes, will be deemed to include any such additional interest unless the context otherwise requires.
We are solely responsible for calculating any adjustment of the interest rate. We shall deliver written notice to the trustee and the holders of any change to the interest rate. In the case of global notes, any change to the interest rate shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Euroclear and Clearstream. Neither the trustee nor the paying agent shall have any duty to determine whether the interest rate should be adjusted or the amount of any such adjustment.
Special Mandatory Redemption
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 (the earliest of the date of delivery of such notice described in clause (iii), the special mandatory redemption end date and the date the Merger Agreement is terminated, the “special mandatory redemption trigger date”), 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 excluding, the special mandatory redemption date (as defined below) (the “special mandatory redemption price”). We will cause any notice of special mandatory redemption to be sent to each holder of the Notes, with a copy to the trustee, within five business days after the special mandatory redemption trigger date. The “special mandatory redemption date” will be the date that is 10 calendar days following any special mandatory redemption trigger date and will be specified in the notice of special mandatory redemption sent to holders of the Notes.
If funds sufficient to pay the special mandatory redemption price of the Notes on the special mandatory redemption date are deposited with the trustee or a paying agent on or before such special mandatory redemption date, then, on and after such special mandatory redemption date, such notes will cease to bear interest. The proceeds of this offering will not be deposited into an escrow account pending any special mandatory redemption of the Notes.

Optional Redemption
Prior to November 27, 2025 with respect to the 2025 Notes (the “2025 Maturity Date”), October 27, 2027 with respect to the 2027 Notes (one month prior to their maturity date) (the “2027 Par Call Date”) or August 27, 2031 with respect to the 2031 Notes (three months prior to their maturity date) (the “2031 Par Call Date” and, together with the 2027 Par Call Date, each a “Par Call Date”), we may redeem such Notes, as applicable, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(1)
(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (with respect to the 2027 Notes and the 2031 Notes, assuming they matured on the 2027 Par Call Date or the 2031 Par Call Date, as applicable) on an annual (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) basis at a rate equal to the comparable government bond rate (as defined below), plus 40 basis points with respect to the 2025 Notes, 45 basis points with respect to the 2027 Notes and 55 basis points with respect to the 2031 Notes, in each case, less (b) interest accrued but not paid to, but excluding, the date of redemption, and
(2)
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.
On or after the 2027 Par Call Date with respect to the 2027 Notes or the 2031 Par Call Date with respect to the 2031 Notes, we may redeem such Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The term “comparable government bond” means, with respect to the Notes to be redeemed prior to the applicable Par Call Date or, in the case of the 2025 Notes, the 2025 Maturity Date, in relation to any comparable government bond rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment banker selected by us, a bond that is a direct obligation of the Federal Republic of Germany (a “German government bond”) whose maturity is closest to the relevant Par Call Date or, in the case of the 2025 Notes, the 2025 Maturity Date, or if such independent investment banker in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment banker may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by us, determine to be appropriate for determining the comparable government bond rate.
The term “comparable government bond rate” means the yield (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards) of the comparable government bond on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, calculated on the basis of the middle market price of such comparable government bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment banker selected by us and calculated in accordance with generally accepted market practice at the time.
The term “independent investment banker” means any of Merrill Lynch International, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc and J.P. Morgan Securities plc (or their respective successors), or if each such firm is unwilling or unable to select the comparable government bond, an independent investment banking institution of international standing appointed by us.
Our actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the applicable series of Notes to be redeemed and will set forth the formula for calculations, and if available the calculation of, the redemption price of the applicable series of Notes. Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with the indenture, the applicable series of Notes called for redemption will become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price; provided that redemptions and notices of redemption may, at our discretion, be conditioned on one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a corporate transaction that is pending (such as an equity or equity-linked offering, an incurrence of indebtedness or an acquisition or other strategic transaction involving a change of control in us or another entity). The date of

redemption may, at our discretion, be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived. Such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption or by the date of redemption as so delayed.
In the case of a partial redemption of Notes of any series, selection of the applicable series of Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of any series of a principal amount of €100,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note of any series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the applicable Note to be redeemed. A new Note of any series in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the applicable Note will be issued in the name of the holder of such Note upon surrender for cancellation of such original Note. For so long as any series of Notes are held by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream (or another depositary), the redemption of such series of Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.
Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the applicable series of Notes or the portion of the applicable series of Notes thereof called for redemption.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below), unless we have exercised our right to redeem the relevant series of Notes as described above under “—Optional Redemption” and “—Special Mandatory Redemption” the indenture provides that each holder of any series of Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of such holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of holders of the applicable series of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
Within 30 days following the date upon which a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, or at our option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, we will be required to send, by first-class mail, a notice to each holder of Notes at its registered address, with a copy to the trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the repurchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of the applicable series of Notes electing to have such series of Notes repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Notes of such series, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase” on the reverse of the note completed, to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes of such series 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.
Our ability to pay cash to the holders of the applicable series of Notes following the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the applicable series of Notes may be limited by our then existing financial resources. Therefore, sufficient funds may not be available when necessary to make any required repurchases.
The definition of Change of Control under the indenture includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of our and our subsidiaries’ assets taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of the applicable series of Notes to require us to repurchase such holder’s applicable series of Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets taken as a whole to another person or group may be uncertain.
We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to a series of Notes if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer if it had been made by us, and such third party purchases all the applicable series of Notes properly tendered and not
S-34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

withdrawn under its offer. In addition, we will not repurchase any series of Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an event of default under the indenture, other than an event of default resulting from failure to pay the Change of Control Payment.
We will 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 a series of 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 applicable series of Notes, we will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of such series of Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

no default or event of default exists or will occur immediately after giving effect to the transaction; and
we have delivered to the trustee the certificates and opinions required under the indenture.
Reports
We will file with the trustee, within 15 days after we file the same with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to the extent we are required to make such filings, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports which we may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, we will not be required to file any reports, information or documents with the Commission to the extent we are no longer required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the trustee is for informational purposes only and the trustee’s receipt of such will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including our compliance with any of our covenants under the indenture (as to which the trustee will be entitled to rely exclusively on officers’ certificates); provided, however, that any such information, document or report filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (or EDGAR) system or any successor thereto shall be deemed to be filed with the trustee; provided, further however, that the trustee will have no responsibility whatsoever for the timelines or content of any such filing or to determine whether such filing has occurred.
Events of Default
The following are events of default under the indenture with respect to each series of Notes:
failure to pay any installment of interest on the Notes of such series when due and the continuance of such failure for 30 days;
S-39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

failure to pay principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes of such series when due;
failure to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement in the Notes of such series or the indenture and the continuance of such failure for 90 days after receipt by us of notice of such failure, specifying such failure and requiring the same to be remedied, from the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series outstanding;

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Tapestry.
If an event of default with respect to a particular series of Notes occurs and continues, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series outstanding may declare the principal amount of such series of Notes to be due and payable immediately; provided that, in the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Tapestry (or its successor by consolidation or merger), such principal amount, or portion thereof will automatically become due and payable without any action by the trustee or any holder. However, at any time after an acceleration with respect to a particular series of Notes has occurred, but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration has been obtained, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration. For information as to waiver of defaults, see “Modification and Waiver” below.
Subject to the duty of the trustee during default to act with the required standard of care, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless such holders have offered the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the trustee. Subject to such indemnification and certain other limitations, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of a particular series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the Notes of such series.
Other than with respect to a lawsuit for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on any series of Notes when due, the indenture provides that no holder of such series of Notes may institute any action against us under the indenture without first complying with the conditions set forth in the indenture.
We will furnish to the trustee an annual statement as to our performance of certain of our obligations under the indenture in the form of an officers’ certificate.
Payment of Additional Amounts
A “Foreign Successor Issuer” is any Person that is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and that assumes our obligations under each series of Notes after the date hereof in accordance with the provisions described in “Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease.”
All payments of principal, premium and interest made by a Foreign Successor Issuer in respect of the Notes of each series will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (“Taxes”) imposed or levied by or within any jurisdiction in which such Foreign Successor Issuer is incorporated or organized or where such Foreign Successor Issuer is otherwise considered by a taxing authority to be a resident or doing business for tax purposes or from or through which such Foreign Successor Issuer makes any payment on the Notes of each series (in each case, including any political subdivision or any authority therein or thereof having the power to tax) (each a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law. For the avoidance of doubt, a Relevant Jurisdiction shall not include the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia. If a Foreign Successor Issuer is required to make such withholding or deduction, the Foreign Successor Issuer will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by each holder of any Notes of the applicable series of such amounts as would have been received by such holder had no such withholding or deduction of such Taxes been required, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable:
(i)
in respect of any such Taxes that would not have been imposed, deducted or withheld but for the existence of any connection (whether present or former) between the holder or beneficial owner of a Note and the Relevant Jurisdiction other than merely holding such Note or receiving principal, premium (if any) or interest in respect thereof (including such holder or beneficial owner being or having been a
S-40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

national, domiciliary or resident of such Relevant Jurisdiction or treated as a 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);
(ii)
in respect of any Note presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant date, except to the extent that the holder thereof would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such 30-day period. For this purpose, the “relevant date” in relation to any Note means the later of (a) the due date for such payment or (b) the date such payment was made available or duly provided for;
(iii)
in respect of any Taxes that would not have been imposed, deducted or withheld but for a failure of the holder or beneficial owner of a Note to comply with a timely request by the Foreign Successor Issuer addressed to the holder or beneficial owner to provide information or certification concerning such holder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with any Relevant Jurisdiction, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request is required under the tax laws of such jurisdiction in order to reduce or eliminate any withholding or deduction as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such holder;
(iv)
in respect of any Taxes imposed as a result of a Note being presented for payment (where presentation is required) in the Relevant Jurisdiction, unless such Note could not have been presented for payment elsewhere;
(v)
in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;
(vi)
to any holder of a Note that is a fiduciary, partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of any payment to the extent that such payment would be required to be included in the income under the laws of a Relevant Jurisdiction, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or 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 holder thereof;
(vii)
with respect to any withholding or deduction that is imposed in connection with Sections 1471-1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (or any amended or successor versions of such Sections) and U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and any other jurisdiction implementing or relating to such Sections or any non-U.S. law, regulation or guidance enacted or issued with respect to the foregoing;
(viii)
in respect of any such Taxes payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments under or with respect to any Note; or
(ix)
any combination of Taxes referred to in the preceding items (i) through (viii) above.
Any Foreign Successor Issuer will (i) make any such withholding or deduction required by applicable law and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. The Foreign Successor Issuer will make reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes. The Foreign Successor Issuer will provide to the trustee, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld are due pursuant to applicable law, either a certified copy of tax receipts evidencing such payment, or, if such tax receipts are not reasonably available to the Foreign Successor Issuer, such other documentation that provides reasonable evidence of such payment by the Foreign Successor Issuer.
Any Foreign Successor Issuer will indemnify and hold harmless the holders of the applicable series of Notes, and, upon written request of any holder of the applicable series of Notes, reimburse such holder for the amount of (a) any Taxes levied or imposed by a Relevant Jurisdiction and payable by such holder in connection with payments made under or with respect to the applicable series of Notes held by such holder; and (b) any Taxes levied or imposed by a Relevant Jurisdiction with respect to any reimbursement under the foregoing clause (a) or this clause (b), so that the net amount received by such holder after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount such holder would have received if the Taxes giving rise to the reimbursement described in clauses (a) and/or (b) had not been imposed, provided, however, that the indemnification obligation provided for in this paragraph shall not extend to
S-41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Taxes imposed for which the holder of the applicable series of Notes would not have been eligible to receive payment of Additional Amounts hereunder by virtue of clauses (i) through (ix) in the second full paragraph above or to the extent such holder received Additional Amounts with respect to such payments.
In addition, any Foreign Successor Issuer will pay any stamp, issue, registration, court, documentation, excise or other similar taxes, charges and duties, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed by any Relevant Jurisdiction at any time after the merger described above in respect of the execution, issuance, registration or delivery of the applicable series of Notes or any other document or instrument referred to thereunder and any such taxes, charges or duties imposed by any Relevant Jurisdiction at any time after the merger described above as a result of, or in connection with, any payments made pursuant to the applicable series of Notes and/or the enforcement of the applicable series of Notes and/or any other such document or instrument.
Whenever there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, premium or interest in respect of any Note, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in the indenture, to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the indenture.
The obligation to make payments of Additional Amounts under the terms and conditions described above will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to any successor Person to any Foreign Successor Issuer (other than a Person organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia) and to any jurisdiction in which such successor is organized or is otherwise resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by such successor or its respective agents.
Optional Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes
A Foreign Successor Issuer may redeem any series of Notes at its option, at any time in whole but not in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice (which notice will be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable series of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption and any Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), in the event that such Foreign Successor Issuer determines in good faith that such Foreign Successor Issuer has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the applicable series of Notes, Additional Amounts and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to such Foreign Successor Issuer (including making payment through a paying agent located in another jurisdiction), as a result of:
(1)
a change in or an amendment to the laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Jurisdiction affecting taxation, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date on which a Foreign Successor Issuer becomes a Foreign Successor Issuer (or, where a jurisdiction in question does not become a Relevant Jurisdiction until a later date, such later date); or
(2)
any change in or amendment to any official position of a taxing authority in any Relevant Jurisdiction regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date on which a Foreign Successor Issuer becomes a Foreign Successor Issuer (or, where a jurisdiction in question does not become a Relevant Jurisdiction until a later date, such later date).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of redemption for changes in withholding taxes may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which such Foreign Successor Issuer would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the applicable series of Notes were then due. At least five calendar days before such Foreign Successor Issuer provides notice of redemption of the applicable series of Notes, such Foreign Successor Issuer will deliver to the trustee and paying agent (a) an officers’ certificate stating that such Foreign Successor Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to its right to so redeem have occurred, (b) an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing (which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the trustee) as to the satisfaction of conditions precedent in
S-42

TABLE OF CONTENTS

connection with such redemption, and (c) an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing (which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the trustee and paying agent) that such Foreign Successor Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of the circumstances referred to in clause (1) or (2) of the preceding paragraph.
The trustee and paying agent shall receive and will be entitled to conclusively rely upon the officers’ certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, in which case they will be conclusive and binding on the holders.
Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
The indenture provides that Tapestry may, at its option, elect to discharge its obligations with respect to any series of Notes (“Legal Defeasance”). If Legal Defeasance occurs, Tapestry will be deemed to have paid and discharged all amounts owed under the applicable series of Notes, and the indenture will cease to be of further effect as to such series of Notes, except that:
holders will be entitled to receive timely payments for the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, such series of Notes, from the funds deposited for that purpose (as explained below);
Tapestry’s obligations will continue with respect to the issuance of temporary Notes of such series, the registration of Notes of such series, and the replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes of such series;
the trustee will retain its rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities, and Tapestry will retain its obligations in connection therewith; and
other Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture will remain in effect.
In addition, Tapestry may, at its option and at any time, elect to cause the release of its obligations with respect to most of the covenants in the indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) with respect to any series of Notes. If Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment events and bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization events) relating to Tapestry described under “Events of Default” will no longer constitute events of default with respect to such series of Notes. Tapestry may exercise Legal Defeasance regardless of whether it previously exercised Covenant Defeasance.
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance (each, a “Defeasance”) with respect to any series of Notes:
(1)
Tapestry must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of holders of the Notes of such series, cash in euros or euro-denominated European Government Obligations, a combination thereof or other obligations as may be provided with respect to such series of Notes, in amounts that will be sufficient, as determined by Tapestry, and expressed in a written certification thereof, signed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, the treasurer or the principal accounting officer of Tapestry and delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the applicable series of Notes on the stated date for payment or any redemption date thereof, and the trustee must have, for benefit of holders of such Notes, a valid and perfected security interest in the obligations so deposited;
(2)
in the case of Legal Defeasance, Tapestry must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States (which opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to the trustee) confirming that:
Tapestry has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service, a ruling, or
since the issue date of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that beneficial owners of such series of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(3)
in the case of Covenant Defeasance, Tapestry must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States (which opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to the trustee) confirming that beneficial
S-43

TABLE OF CONTENTS

owners of such series of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(4)
no default or event of default with respect to such series of Notes may have occurred and be continuing under the indenture on the date of the deposit with respect to such series of Notes (other than a default or event of default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); in addition, no event of default relating to bankruptcy or insolvency may occur at any time from the date of the deposit to the 91st calendar day thereafter;
(5)
the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance may not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (excluding the indenture) to which Tapestry or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Tapestry or any of its subsidiaries is bound;
(6)
Tapestry must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the deposit was not made by Tapestry with the intent of preferring the holders of such debt securities over any other creditors of Tapestry or the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any other of its creditors;
(7)
the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance may not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless that trust is qualified, or exempt from regulation, under that Act; and
(8)
Tapestry must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate confirming the satisfaction of conditions in clauses (1) through (6) above, and an opinion of counsel confirming the satisfaction of the conditions in clauses (1) (with respect to the validity and perfection of the security interest), (2), (3) and (5) above.
If the amount deposited with the trustee to effect a Covenant Defeasance is insufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the applicable series of Notes when due, then Tapestry’s obligations under the indenture and such series of Notes will be revived, and such Defeasance will be deemed not to have occurred.
“European Government Obligations” means any security that is (1) a direct obligation of the Federal Republic of Germany or any country that is a member of the European Monetary Union whose long-term debt is rated “A-1” or higher by Moody’s or “A+” or higher by S&P or the equivalent rating category of another internationally recognized rating agency on the issue date of the Notes, for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the Federal Republic of Germany or such country, respectively, is pledged or (2) an obligation of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the Federal Republic of Germany or any such country the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the Federal Republic of Germany or such country, respectively, which, in either case under the preceding clause (1) or (2), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof.
Satisfaction and Discharge
The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect with respect to a series of Notes, when:
either:
°
all Notes of such series that have been authenticated and, except for lost, stolen or destroyed Notes of such series that have been replaced or paid and Notes of such series for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by us and thereafter repaid to us, have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or
°
all Notes of such series that have not been delivered to the trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable, (2) will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year or (3) if redeemable in accordance with the terms of such series of Notes, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the trustee in our name, and at our expense;
and we have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders of Notes of such series, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any
S-44

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness (including all principal, premium, if any, and interest) on such series of Notes not delivered to the trustee for cancellation (in the case of Notes of such series that have become due and payable on or prior to the date of such deposit) or to the stated maturity or redemption date, as the case may be:
we have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by us under the indenture in respect of the Notes of such series; and
we have delivered irrevocable instructions to the trustee under the indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such series of Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.
In addition, we must deliver an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel to the trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Modification and Waiver
Modifications and amendments of the indenture with respect to any series of Notes outstanding may be made by us and the trustee with the consent of holders of a majority in outstanding aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes, except that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Notes of the applicable series affected thereby:
extend the stated maturity date of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any such series of Notes, or reduce the principal amount of or the rate (or extend the time for payment) of interest on, or any premium payable upon the redemption of, any such series of Notes;
reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof;
change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any such series of Notes;
impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, any such series of Notes;
reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes, the consent of the holders of which is required for any amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver provided for in the indenture;
modify any of the waiver provisions, except to increase any required percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each Notes of the series affected thereby;
cause any such series of Notes to become subordinate in right of payment to any other debt, except to the extent provided in the terms of such series of Notes; or
if such series of Notes provides that the holder may require us to repurchase or convert such series of Notes, impair such holder’s right to require repurchase or conversion of such series of Notes on the terms provided therein.
We and the trustee may also modify and amend the indenture without the consent of any holder of Notes of a particular series:
to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or mistake in the indenture; provided that such amendments or supplements shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of such series of Notes in any material respect;
to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”);
to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the indenture with respect to the Notes of any or all series by a successor trustee;
to establish the form or forms or terms of debt securities of any series or of the coupons appertaining to such debt securities as permitted by the indenture;
to add covenants for the benefit of the holders, to surrender any of our rights or to add circumstances under which we will pay additional interest on the Notes of such series; or
to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of Notes of such series.
S-45

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The holders of a majority in outstanding aggregate principal amount of any series of Notes may, on behalf of the holders of all Notes of such series, waive our compliance with certain restrictive provisions of the indenture or such series of Notes. The holders of a majority in outstanding aggregate principal amount of any series of Notes may, on behalf of the holders of all Notes of such series, waive any past default under the indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, such series of Notes or in respect of any provision of the indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of Notes of such series affected thereby.
The Trustee
U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is trustee under the indenture and has been appointed by us as registrar with regard to the Notes. Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch will act as our paying agent with respect to the Notes, subject, to replacement upon certain events specified in the paying agency agreement. We will pay principal, premium, if any, interest, additional amounts, if any, and any other amounts due on the Notes in euros and at the office or agency maintained for that purpose, which initially will be the office of the paying agent located at 125 Old Broad Street, Fifth Floor, London EC2N 1AR, United Kingdom. We may also choose to pay interest by mailing checks or making wire transfers. We may also arrange for additional paying agent offices and may change these offices.
The indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an event of default, the trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture. During the existence of an event of default under the indenture, the trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Subject to these provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any of the holders of the Notes, unless they shall have offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the trustee.
The indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act contain limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it become a creditor of Tapestry, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to liquidate certain property received by it in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions with us or any of our affiliates. If the trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.
Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction
New York law governs the indenture and will govern the Notes. A Foreign Successor Issuer will irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state court or any U.S. federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in respect of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in relation to the indenture or the Notes, and will agree that all claims in respect of such legal action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or U.S. federal court and will waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding in any such court.
A Foreign Successor Issuer will agree that, to the extent that such Foreign Successor Issuer is or will become entitled to any sovereign or other immunity, such Foreign Successor Issuer will waive such immunity in respect of its obligations under the indenture.
Book-Entry System; Delivery and Form
We have obtained the information in this section concerning Clearstream, Euroclear, and the book-entry systems and procedures from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information. In addition, the description of the clearing systems in this section reflects our understanding of the rules and procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear as they are currently in effect. Those clearing systems could change their rules and procedures at any time. The Notes will be offered and sold only in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global notes. Each such global note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a common depositary, and registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for, and in respect of interests held through, Clearstream and Euroclear.
Except as set forth below, the global notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective nominees. You may hold your interests in the global notes in Europe through Clearstream or Euroclear, either as a participant in such systems or indirectly through organizations that are
S-46

TABLE OF CONTENTS

participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests in the global notes on behalf of their respective participating organizations or customers through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream’s or Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositaries. Book-entry interests in the Notes and all transfers relating to the Notes will be reflected in the book-entry records of Clearstream and Euroclear.
The distribution of the Notes will be cleared through Clearstream and Euroclear. Any secondary market trading of book-entry interests in the Notes will take place through Clearstream and Euroclear participants (as defined below) and will settle in same day funds. Beneficial owners of the Notes will receive payments relating to their Notes in euro, except as described above under “—Issuance in Euro; Payment on the Notes.”
Clearstream and Euroclear have established electronic securities and payment transfer, processing, depositary and custodial links among themselves and others, either directly or through custodians and depositaries. These links allow book-entry interests in the Notes to be issued, held and transferred among the clearing systems without the physical transfer of certificates. Special procedures to facilitate clearance and settlement have been established among these clearing systems to trade securities across borders in the secondary market.
The policies of Clearstream and Euroclear will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to each investor’s interest in the Notes held by them. Neither we nor the trustee or paying agent have any responsibility for any aspect of the records kept by Clearstream or Euroclear or any of their direct or indirect participants. We, the paying agent and the trustee also do not supervise these systems in any way.
Clearstream and Euroclear and their participants perform these clearance and settlement functions under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers. You should be aware that they are not obligated to perform or continue to perform these procedures and may modify them or discontinue them at any time.
Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the Notes will not be entitled to have the Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the Notes under the indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by us or the trustee pursuant to the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a note must rely on the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, in order to exercise any rights of a holder of Notes.
We have been advised by Clearstream and Euroclear, respectively, as follows:
Clearstream
Clearstream has advised that it is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg and is licensed as a bank and professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations. Clearstream facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides to Clearstream participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. Clearstream has established an electronic bridge with the Euroclear Operator (as defined below) to facilitate the settlement of trades between the nominees of Clearstream and Euroclear. As a registered bank in Luxembourg, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier). Clearstream participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through, or maintain a custodial relationship with, a Clearstream participant, either directly or indirectly.
Distributions with respect to interests in the global notes held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream participants in accordance with its rules and procedures.
Euroclear
Euroclear has advised that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for its participants and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and eliminating any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash.
S-47

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (the “Euroclear Operator”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Euroclear participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear participant, either directly or indirectly.
Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related operating procedures of Euroclear, and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”). The Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawals of securities and cash from Euroclear, and receipts of payments with respect to securities in Euroclear. All securities in Euroclear are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear participants, and has no record of or relationship with persons holding securities through Euroclear participants.
Distributions with respect to interests in the global notes held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear participants in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
Global Clearance and Settlement Procedures
We understand that investors that hold their Notes through Clearstream or Euroclear accounts will follow the settlement procedures that are applicable to conventional eurobonds in registered form. Notes will be credited to the securities custody accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear participants on the business day following the settlement date, for value on the settlement date. They will be credited either free of payment or against payment for value on the settlement date.
We understand that secondary market trading between Clearstream and/or Euroclear participants will occur in the ordinary way following the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear.
Secondary market trading will be settled using procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in registered form.
You should be aware that investors will only be able to make and receive deliveries, payments and other communications involving the Notes through Clearstream and Euroclear on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States.
In addition, because of time-zone differences, there may be problems with completing transactions involving Clearstream and Euroclear on the same business day as in the United States. U.S. investors who wish to transfer their interests in the Notes, or to make or receive a payment or delivery of the Notes, on a particular day, may find that the transactions will not be performed until the next business day in Luxembourg or Brussels, depending on whether Clearstream or Euroclear is used.
Clearstream or Euroclear will credit payments to the cash accounts of Clearstream or Euroclear participants, as applicable, in accordance with the relevant system’s rules and procedures, to the extent received by its depositary. Clearstream or the Euroclear Operator, as the case may be, will take any other action permitted to be taken by a holder under the indenture on behalf of a Clearstream or Euroclear participant only in accordance with its relevant rules and procedures. Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Notes among participants of Clearstream and Euroclear. However, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform those procedures, and they may discontinue those procedures at any time.
Certificated Notes
If Clearstream or Euroclear is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary, and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue Notes of like tenor in minimum denominations of €100,000 principal amount and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof, in definitive form in exchange for an applicable registered global note that had been held by the depositary. Any Notes issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global note will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the trustee or other relevant agent of the trustee. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the applicable registered global note that had been held by the depositary. In addition, we may at any time determine that the Notes shall no longer be represented by a global note and will issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for such global note pursuant to the procedure described above.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes issued pursuant to this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of the Notes. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes.
This discussion is limited to holders who hold the Notes as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). In addition, this discussion is limited to persons purchasing the Notes for cash at original issue and at their original “issue price” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code (i.e., the first price at which a substantial amount of the Notes is sold to the public for cash). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income and any alternative minimum tax. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:
U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
persons holding the Notes as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;
banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions;
real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;
brokers, dealers or traders in securities;
“controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;
S corporations, partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);
tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;
persons deemed to sell the Notes under the constructive sale provisions of the Code; and
persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the Notes being taken into account in an applicable financial statement.
If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes purchases and holds the Notes, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships purchasing and holding the Notes and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.
THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES ARISING UNDER OTHER U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS (INCLUDING ESTATE AND GIFT TAX LAWS), UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Tax Consequences Applicable to U.S. Holders
Definition of a U.S. Holder
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a Note that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as:
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Payments of Interest
Interest on a Note generally will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income at the time such interest is received or accrued, in accordance with such U.S. Holder’s method of tax accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is expected, and this discussion assumes, that the Notes will be issued without original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
A U.S. Holder that uses the cash method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes and receives a payment of stated interest on a Note will be required to include in income (as ordinary income) the U.S. dollar value of the euro interest payment (determined based on the spot rate of exchange on the date such payment is received) regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to U.S. dollars at such time. This U.S. dollar value will be the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the euro received. A cash method U.S. Holder will not recognize exchange gain or loss with respect to the receipt of such stated interest, but may recognize exchange gain or loss attributable to any disposition of the euro so received.
A U.S. Holder that uses the accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes and receives a payment of stated interest on a Note will be required to include in income (as ordinary income) the U.S. dollar value of the amount of interest in euro that has accrued with respect to its Note during an accrual period. The U.S. dollar value of such euro denominated accrued stated interest will generally be determined by translating such amount at the average spot rate of exchange for the accrual period or, with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, at the average spot rate of exchange for the partial period within each taxable year. An accrual basis U.S. Holder may elect, however, to translate such accrued stated interest income into U.S. dollars using the spot rate of exchange on the last day of the interest accrual period or, with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, using the spot rate of exchange on the last day of the portion of such accrual period within the applicable taxable year. Alternatively, if the last day of an accrual period is within five business days of the date of receipt of the accrued stated interest, a U.S. Holder that has made the election described in the prior sentence may translate such interest using the spot rate of exchange on the date of receipt of the stated interest. The above election applies to all debt instruments held by an electing U.S. Holder from year to year and may not be changed without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder that uses the accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes will generally recognize exchange gain or loss with respect to accrued interest on the date such interest is received (including upon the sale or other taxable disposition of a Note, with respect to amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest). The amount of exchange gain or loss recognized will generally equal the difference, if any, between the U.S. dollar value of the euro payment received (determined based on the spot rate of exchange on the date such interest is received) in respect of such accrual period and the U.S. dollar value of the interest that has accrued during such accrual period (as determined above), regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to U.S. dollars at such time. Any such exchange gain or loss generally will constitute ordinary income or loss and be treated, for foreign tax credit purposes, as U.S. source income or loss (and generally not as an adjustment to interest income or expense).
Additional Payments
In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to make payments on the Notes in excess of stated principal and interest. We intend to take the position that these contingencies should not cause the Notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments under the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Assuming such position is respected by
S-51

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the IRS, a U.S. Holder generally would be required to include in income the amount of any such additional payments at the time such payments are received or accrued in accordance with such U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our position is binding on a U.S. Holder, unless the U.S. Holder discloses in the proper manner to the IRS that it is taking a different position. If the IRS successfully challenged our position, and the Notes were treated as contingent payment debt instruments, a U.S. Holder would be required to accrue interest income at a rate higher than the rate of stated interest, regardless of the U.S. Holder’s method of tax accounting, and to treat as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, any gain recognized on a sale, exchange, retirement or redemption of a Note. This discussion assumes that the Notes will not be considered contingent payment debt instruments. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application to the Notes of the contingent payment debt instrument rules and the consequences thereof.
Purchase and Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Notes
A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a Note generally will be equal to the amount the U.S. Holder paid for the Note. The cost of a Note purchased with euro generally will be the U.S. dollar value of the euro purchase price on the date of purchase, calculated at the spot rate of exchange in effect on that date (or in the case of a cash basis or electing accrual basis U.S. Holder, the settlement date of the purchase, if the Note is traded on an established securities market). The conversion of U.S. dollars to euros and the immediate use of those euros to purchase a Note generally will not result in taxable gain or loss to a U.S. Holder. However, a U.S. Holder may recognize foreign currency exchange gain or loss upon the purchase of a Note with previously owned euros. A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a Note. The amount of such gain or loss will generally equal the difference between the amount received for the Note in cash or other property valued at fair market value (less amounts attributable to any accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as interest to the extent not previously included in income) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Note. Any gain or loss will be U.S. source gain or loss and, except as discussed below with respect to exchange gain or loss, generally will be capital gain or loss. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the Note for more than one year at the time of sale or other taxable disposition. Otherwise, such gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally will be taxable at a reduced rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
If a U.S. Holder receives euro on a sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of a Note, the amount realized will generally be the U.S. dollar value of the euro translated at the spot rate on the date of such disposition. If the Note is traded on an established securities market, a cash basis U.S. Holder (and, if it elects, an accrual method U.S. Holder) will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized on the settlement date of the disposition. If an accrual method taxpayer makes the election described above, such election must be applied consistently to all debt instruments held by such U.S. Holder from year to year and cannot be changed without the consent of the IRS. An accrual method U.S. Holder that does not make the special election will recognize foreign currency exchange gain or loss to the extent attributable to the difference between the exchange rates on the trade date and settlement date.
Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of a Note that is attributable to changes in currency exchange rates will be ordinary income or loss and, with respect to the principal of a Note, will generally be equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the U.S. Holder’s purchase price of the Note determined on the date of the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition, and the U.S. dollar value of the U.S. Holder’s purchase price of the Note determined on the date the U.S. Holder acquired the Note. The exchange gain or loss on a Note with respect to principal and with respect to accrued and unpaid stated interest (which will be treated as discussed above under “—Payments of Interest”) will be recognized only to the extent of the total gain or loss realized by the U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of the Note.
Tax Return Disclosure Requirements
Treasury Regulations require the reporting to the IRS as a “reportable transaction” of certain foreign currency transactions giving rise to losses in excess of a certain minimum amount, such as the receipt or accrual of interest on, or the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of, a Note or foreign currency received in respect of a Note. This loss threshold is $50,000 in any single taxable year for individuals and trusts, and is higher for other U.S. Holders. A penalty applies to taxpayers that fail to timely file an information return with the IRS for such a
S-52

TABLE OF CONTENTS

transaction. U.S. Holders of Notes should consult their tax advisors to determine the tax return obligations, if any, with respect to an investment in the Notes, including any requirement to file IRS Form 8886 (Reportable Transaction Disclosure Statement).
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
A U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding when such holder receives payments on a Note or receives proceeds from the sale or other taxable disposition of a Note (including a redemption or retirement of a Note). Certain U.S. Holders are exempt from backup withholding, including corporations and certain tax-exempt organizations. A U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding if such holder is not otherwise exempt and:
the holder fails to furnish the holder’s taxpayer identification number, which for an individual is ordinarily his or her social security number;
the holder furnishes an incorrect taxpayer identification number;
the applicable withholding agent is notified by the IRS that the holder previously failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or
the holder fails to certify under penalties of perjury that the holder has furnished a correct taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified the holder that the holder is subject to backup withholding.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.
Tax Consequences Applicable to Non-U.S. Holders
Definition of a Non-U.S. Holder
For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a Note that is neither a U.S. Holder nor an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Payments of Interest
Interest paid on a Note to a Non-U.S. Holder that is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, or withholding tax of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), provided that:
the Non-U.S. Holder does not, actually or constructively, own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock;
the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation related to us through actual or constructive stock ownership; and
either (1) the Non-U.S. Holder certifies in a statement provided to the applicable withholding agent under penalties of perjury that it is not a United States person and provides its name and address (generally on IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other applicable form); (2) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers’ securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business and holds the Note on behalf of the Non-U.S. Holder certifies to the applicable withholding agent under penalties of perjury that it, or the financial institution between it and the Non-U.S. Holder, has received from the Non-U.S. Holder a statement under penalties of perjury that such holder is not a United States person and provides a copy of such statement to the applicable withholding agent; or (3) the Non-U.S. Holder holds its Note directly through a “qualified intermediary” (within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations) and certain conditions are satisfied.
If a Non-U.S. Holder does not satisfy the requirements above, such Non-U.S. Holder may be entitled to a reduction in or an exemption from withholding on such interest as a result of an applicable tax treaty. To claim such entitlement, the Non-U.S. Holder must provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS
S-53

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) claiming a reduction in or exemption from withholding tax under the benefit of an income tax treaty between the United States and the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.
If interest paid to a Non-U.S. Holder is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such interest is attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that interest paid on a Note is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States.
Any such effectively connected interest generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected interest, as adjusted for certain items.
The certifications described above must be provided to the applicable withholding agent prior to the payment of interest and must be updated periodically. Non-U.S. Holders that do not timely provide the applicable withholding agent with the required certification, but that qualify for a reduced rate under an applicable income tax treaty, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.
Sale or Other Taxable Disposition
A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a Note (such amount excludes any amount allocable to accrued and unpaid interest, which generally will be treated as interest subject to the rules discussed above in “—Payments of Interest”) unless:
the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable); or
the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met.
Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular applicable rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.
Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.
Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Payments of interest generally will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the holder certifies its non-U.S. status as described above under “—Payments of Interest.” However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any interest paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of a Note (including a retirement or redemption of the Note) within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, if the applicable withholding agent receives the statement described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States
S-54

TABLE OF CONTENTS

person or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of a Note paid outside the United States and conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.
Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Foreign Accounts
Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or “FATCA”) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on payments of interest on, or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, a Note paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code), unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.
Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of interest on a Note. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of a Note, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.
Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in the Notes.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, the Representatives have agreed, on behalf of the underwriters, severally and not jointly, to purchase all of the Notes sold under the underwriting agreement if any of these Notes are purchased. If an underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters and their controlling persons against certain liabilities in connection with this offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
The underwriters are offering the Notes, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the Notes, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.
The Representatives have advised us that the underwriters propose initially to offer each series of the Notes to the public at the respective public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers at such prices less concessions not in excess of a percentage of the principal amount of the applicable series of the Notes as set forth in the table below. After the initial offering, the public offering prices, concessions or any other terms of the offering may be changed.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

New Issue of Notes
Each series of the Notes is a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We intend to apply to list the Notes on the NYSE. The listing application will be subject to approval by the NYSE. If such a listing is obtained, we have no obligation under the indenture to maintain such listing and we may delist the Notes at any time. The underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market in the Notes of each series, but they are not obligated to do so, and any market-making in the Notes may be discontinued at any time in their sole discretion. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any market for the Notes. If active public trading markets for the Notes do not develop, the market prices and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely affected. If the Notes are traded, they may trade at discounts from their initial offering prices, depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our operating performance and financial condition, general economic conditions and other factors.
No Sales of Similar Securities
We have agreed that we will not, for a period commencing on the date of the underwriting agreement and ending on the closing date, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities issued by the Company and having a tenor of more than one year, except for the Notes sold to the underwriters pursuant to the underwriting agreement and the USD Notes.
Price Stabilization
In connection with the issue of the Notes, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, in its role as stabilizing manager for its own account may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and directives, over-allot the Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the stabilizing manager (or persons acting on behalf of the stabilizing manager) will undertake any stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the Notes is made, and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue of the Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the Notes. Any stabilization action or over-allotment commenced will be carried out in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions and syndicate covering transactions.
Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of Notes in excess of the principal amount of the Notes the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position.
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the Notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Notes in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
These stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions and syndicate covering transactions may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market prices of the Notes or preventing or retarding a decline in the market prices of the Notes. As a result, the prices of the Notes may be higher than the prices that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Extended Settlement
We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about November 27, 2023, which will be the seventh business day following the date of pricing of the Notes, or “T+7.” Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+7 , to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before delivery should consult their advisors.

Other Relationships
Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, various financial advisory, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of the trustee for the Notes. In particular, (i) certain affiliates of Merrill Lynch International, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, J.P. Morgan Securities plc and certain other underwriters are lenders and/or agents under our Existing Credit Facilities and our New Term Loan Facilities, (ii) certain affiliates of Merrill Lynch International, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, J.P. Morgan Securities plc and certain other underwriters have committed to provide the Bridge Facility, (iii) an affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc is serving as the Company’s financial advisor in connection with the Capri Acquisition and (iv) certain of the underwriters in this offering and certain of their respective affiliates are or are expected to be underwriters in the USD Notes Offering.
In addition, in the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the Notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Pursuant to section 3A.3 of National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts (“NI 33-105”), the underwriters are not required to comply with the disclosure requirements of NI 33-105 regarding underwriter conflicts of interest in connection with this offering.
Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a “qualified investor” as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the “Prospectus Regulation”).
Consequently, no key information document required by PRIIPs Regulation for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Notice to Prospective Investors in the United Kingdom
UK MIFIR product governance / Professional Investors and ECPs Only Target Market – Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is only eligible counterparties as defined in COBS, and professional clients, as defined in the UK MiFIR; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the manufacturers’ target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The following is a general description of the debt securities that we may offer from time to time. We also may sell hybrid securities that combine certain features of debt securities and other securities described in this prospectus. The debt securities will be issued from time to time under an indenture and applicable supplemental indenture, if any, with respect to any series of debt securities, between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The indenture and any supplemental indenture are technical documents with terms that have defined meanings. A prospectus supplement will contain a summary of the indenture and any applicable supplemental indenture. We urge you to read the indenture, any applicable supplemental indenture and the accompanying prospectus supplement describing the particular terms of the debt securities because they, and not this description, define the rights of the debt security holders. The form of indenture is filed as an exhibit to this registration statement.
General
The following briefly summarizes the material provisions of the indenture and the debt securities, other than pricing and related terms for a particular issuance, which will be described in an accompanying prospectus supplement.
A form of each debt security, reflecting the particular terms and provisions of a series of offered debt securities, will be filed with the SEC at the time of the offering.
Brief Description of the Debt Securities
The debt securities may be secured or unsecured. Except as otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture or prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be unsecured and will (i) rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, (ii) rank senior in right of payment to our future subordinated indebtedness, (iii) be effectively subordinated to any of our current or future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of any assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) be structurally subordinated to, which means they rank behind, all of the liabilities of our subsidiaries.
All payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all registration, transfer, exchange, authentication and delivery of, the debt securities will be effected initially by the trustee or its agent acting as trustee, paying agent or registrar as set forth in the indenture at an office designated by the trustee as its corporate trust office.

the names and duties of any co-trustees, depositaries, authenticating agents, calculation agents, paying agents, transfer agents or registrars for the debt securities;
any changes in or additions to the covenants applicable to the particular debt securities being issued;

any material provisions of the applicable indenture described in this prospectus that do not apply to the debt securities;
any other terms of the debt securities, which may modify, supplement or delete any provision of the indenture as it applies to that series; and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
This prospectus describes the general terms of our capital stock. For a more detailed description of our capital stock, you should read the applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) and our charter and bylaws.
Our charter provides that we may issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (our “common stock”), and up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share (our “preferred stock”), and permits our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to amend the charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue. As of January 22, 2021, there were 277,838,123 shares of our common stock outstanding and no shares of our preferred stock outstanding. Under the MGCL, stockholders generally are not personally liable for our debts or obligations solely as a result of their status as stockholders.
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock generally have no preference, conversion, exchange, sinking fund, redemption or appraisal rights and have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends if, as and when authorized by our board of directors and declared by us out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends. They are also entitled to share ratably in our assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after payment of or adequate provision for all of our known debts and liabilities. These rights are subject to the preferential rights, if any, of any other class or series of our stock. All outstanding shares of our common stock are, and any shares offered by this prospectus will be when issued and paid for, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the holders of our common stock will possess the exclusive voting power. In uncontested elections, directors are elected by a majority of all of the votes cast in the election of directors, and in contested elections, directors are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast in the election of directors. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect all of the directors then standing for election, and the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors.
Power to Classify or Reclassify Shares of Our Stock and Increase or Decrease Authorized Shares of Stock
Our charter (1) authorizes our board of directors to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock and preferred stock into other classes or series of stock and (2) permits our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to amend the charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue. Prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, the board of directors is required by the MGCL and by our charter to set the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption for each class or series. Thus, the board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. Our board of directors may take these actions without stockholder approval unless stockholder approval is required by the terms of any other class or series of our stock or the rules of any stock exchange or automatic quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. No shares of our preferred stock are presently outstanding, and we have no present plans to issue any preferred stock.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue, at any time and from time to time, up to 25,000,000 shares of our preferred stock in one or more classes or series. Each such class or series shall have such preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or
10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption as shall be determined by our board of directors and set forth in articles supplementary relating to such class or series. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Such rights may include voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of the common stock. Satisfaction of any dividend or liquidation preferences of outstanding preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available, if any, for the payment of dividends or liquidation amounts on common stock.
A prospectus supplement, relating to any offered class or series of preferred stock, will specify the following terms of such class or series, as applicable:
the designation and par value of such class or series of preferred stock,
the number of shares of such class or series of preferred stock offered, the liquidation preference per share and the offering price of such class or series of preferred stock,
the dividend rate(s), period(s), and/or payment date(s) or method(s) of calculation thereof applicable to such class or series of preferred stock,
whether dividends on such class or series of preferred stock are cumulative or not and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends on such class or series of preferred stock shall accumulate,
the provision for a sinking fund, if any, for such class or series of preferred stock,
the provision for redemption, if applicable, of such class or series of preferred stock,
any listing of such class or series of preferred stock on any securities exchange,
the preemptive rights, if any, of such class or series of preferred stock,
the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which shares such class or series of preferred stock will be convertible into shares of our common stock or shares of any other class or series of our stock or other securities, including the conversion price (or manner of calculation thereof),
a discussion of any additional material federal income tax consequences applicable to an investment in such class or series of preferred stock,
the relative ranking and preferences of such class or series of preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of our Company,
any limitations on issuance of any class or series of stock ranking senior to or on parity with such class or series of preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of our Company,
any voting rights of such class or series of preferred stock, and
any other specific terms, preferences, rights, limitations or restrictions of such class or series of preferred stock.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF OUR CHARTER AND BYLAWS
The following summary of certain provisions of Maryland law and of our charter and bylaws does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to Maryland law and our charter and bylaws.
Our Board of Directors
Our charter and bylaws provide that the number of directors of our Company may be established, increased or decreased only by a majority of our entire board of directors but may not be fewer than the minimum number required by the MGCL, which is one.
We have elected to be subject to a provision of Maryland law requiring that, except as may be provided by our board of directors in setting the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, any vacancy on our board of directors may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum. Any director so elected will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is duly elected and qualifies.
Each of our directors is elected by our stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. Holders of shares of our common stock will have no right to cumulative voting in the election of directors. In uncontested elections, directors are elected by a majority of all of the votes cast in the election of directors, and in contested elections, directors are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast in the election of directors.
Removal of Directors
We have elected to be subject to a provision of Maryland law that provides that a director may be removed only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors. This provision, when coupled with the exclusive power of our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, may preclude stockholders from removing incumbent directors except by a substantial affirmative vote and filling the vacancies created by such removal with their own nominees.
Business Combinations
Under the MGCL, certain “business combinations” (including a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or, in certain circumstances specified under the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland corporation and any interested stockholder, or an affiliate of such an interested stockholder, are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Maryland law defines an interested stockholder as:
any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock; or
an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the corporation.
A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. In approving a transaction, however, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of the approval, with any terms and conditions determined by it.
After such five-year period, any such business combination must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and
two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom (or with whose affiliate) the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.
13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

These supermajority approval requirements do not apply if, among other conditions, the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined in the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares.
These provisions of the MGCL do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by a corporation’s board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder.
Control Share Acquisitions
The MGCL provides that holders of “control shares” of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights with respect to their control shares except to the extent approved by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors, generally, excluding shares of stock in a corporation in respect of which any of the following persons is entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power in the election of directors: (1) the person who made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, (2) an officer of the corporation or (3) an employee of the corporation who is also a director of the corporation. “Control shares” are voting shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other such shares of stock previously acquired by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would cause the acquirer to be entitled to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:
one-tenth or more but less than one-third;
one-third or more but less than a majority; or
a majority or more of all voting power.
Control shares do not include shares that the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval or shares acquired directly from the corporation. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of ownership of, or the power to direct the exercise of voting power with respect to, issued and outstanding control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, upon satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses and making an “acquiring person statement” as described in the MGCL), may compel the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the control shares. If no request for a special meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting.
If voting rights of control shares are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an “acquiring person statement” as required by the statute, then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem any or all of the control shares (except those for which voting rights have previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved or, if no such meeting is held, as of the date of the last control acquisition by the acquirer. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquirer in the control share acquisition.
The control share acquisition statute does not apply to: (1) shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or (2) acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation.
Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of shares of our stock. We cannot provide you any assurance, however, that our board of directors will not amend or eliminate this provision at any time in the future.
Subtitle 8
Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors to elect to be subject, by provision in
14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

its charter or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the charter or bylaws, to any or all of the following five provisions:
a classified board;
a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director;
a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by the board of directors;
a requirement that a vacancy on the board be filled only by the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred; or
a majority requirement for the calling by stockholders of a special meeting of stockholders.
We have elected to be subject to the provisions of Subtitle 8 relating to the removal of directors, the filling of vacancies on our board of directors and the board’s exclusive power to fix the number of directorships. Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we already vest in the board the exclusive power to fix the number of directorships, subject to limitations set forth in our charter and bylaws, and require, unless called by the chairman of our board of directors, our chief executive officer, our president or our board of directors, the request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on a matter at such meeting to call a special meeting to consider and vote on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders.
Our charter contains a provision that prohibits us from classifying our board pursuant to Subtitle 8 without the approval of a majority of the votes cast on such matter by the holders of our common stock.
Extraordinary Actions; Amendments to Our Charter and Bylaws
Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, merge, consolidate, convert, sell all or substantially all of its assets or engage in a statutory share exchange, unless approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage but not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our charter provides for approval by a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast in these situations.
Our charter may be amended only if such amendment is declared advisable by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our board of directors has the power to amend, alter or repeal any provision of our bylaws and to make new bylaws. In addition, our stockholders may amend, alter or repeal any provision of our bylaws and adopt new bylaws, but only with the approval of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
Exclusive Forum
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by us or by any director or officer or other employee to us or to our stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL or our charter or bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that Court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division.
This exclusive forum provision is intended to apply to claims arising under Maryland state law and would not apply to claims brought pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business
Our bylaws provide that:
with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of individuals for election to the board of directors and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders at the annual meeting may be made only:
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

pursuant to our notice of the meeting;
by or at the direction of our board of directors; or
by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record as of the record date set by the our board of directors for the purposes of determining stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting, at the time of giving of the notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the annual meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated or on such other business and who has provided the information and certifications required by the advance notice procedures set forth in our bylaws.
with respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in our notice of meeting may be brought before the meeting of stockholders, and nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors may be made only:
by or at the direction of our board of directors; or
provided that the meeting has been called for the purpose of electing directors, by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record as of the record date set by the our board of directors for the purposes of determining stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting, at the time of giving of the notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has provided the information and certifications required by the advance notice procedures set forth in our bylaws.
The purpose of requiring stockholders to give advance notice of nominations and other proposals is to afford our board of directors the opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees or the advisability of the other proposals and, to the extent considered necessary by our board of directors, to inform stockholders and make recommendations regarding the nominations or other proposals. The advance notice procedures also permit a more orderly procedure for conducting our stockholder meetings.
Proxy Access Procedures for Qualifying Stockholders.
Our bylaws permit a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, that owns 3% or more of our common stock continuously for at least three years and through the date of the annual meeting (and any postponement or adjournment thereof) to nominate and include in our proxy materials candidates for election as directors of the Company, subject to certain terms and conditions. Generally, such stockholder(s) or group(s) of stockholders may nominate director candidates constituting up to the greater of two individuals or 20% of our board of directors, provided that the stockholder(s) and the director nominee(s) satisfy the eligibility, notice and other requirements specified in the Bylaws.
Anti-takeover Effect of Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws
Our election to be subject to the provisions of Subtitle 8 regarding the removal of directors and the exclusive power of our board of directors to fill vacancies on the board and the advance notice provisions of our bylaws could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of our company that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our common stockholders. Likewise, if our board of directors were to opt in to the business combination provisions of the MGCL or if the provision in our bylaws opting out of the control share acquisition provisions of the MGCL were amended or rescinded, these provisions of the MGCL could have similar anti-takeover effects.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may offer and sell the securities in any one or more of the following ways:
to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers;
directly to one or more other purchasers;
through a block trade in which the broker or dealer engaged to handle the block trade will attempt to sell the debt securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
through agents on a best-efforts basis;
otherwise through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or
through any other methods described in a prospectus supplement.
Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will name any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities. The prospectus supplement will also set forth the terms of the offering, including:
the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale of the securities;
any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;
any public offering or purchase price and any discounts or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers;
any commissions allowed or paid to agents;
any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed;
the method of distribution of the securities;
the terms of any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into with the underwriters, brokers or dealers; and
any other information we think is important.
If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account. The securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions:
at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
at prices related to such prevailing market prices;
at varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
at negotiated prices.
Such sales may be effected:
in transactions on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
in transactions in the over-the-counter market;
in block transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;
through the writing of options; or
through other types of transactions.
The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in the
17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of underwriters or dealers to purchase the securities offered will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discount or concession allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers may be changed from time to time.
The securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
Offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus may be solicited, and sales of the securities may be made, by us directly to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the securities. The terms of any offer made in this manner will be included in the prospectus supplement relating to the offer.
Some of the underwriters, dealers or agents used by us in any offering of securities under this prospectus may be customers of, engage in transactions with, and perform services for us or other affiliates of ours in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled under agreements that may be entered into with us to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to be reimbursed by us for certain expenses. Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from us. Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of securities for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both. Compensation as to a particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions involving securities and might be in excess of customary commissions. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by us may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales.
The applicable prospectus supplement may set forth restrictions or limitations, or refer to applicable laws or regulations, relating to offers or sales of the securities or the distribution of this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement in specified jurisdictions outside the United States.
Any underwriters to which offered securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but those underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time.
Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be otherwise be. The underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities, and if commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of these activities at any time. An underwriter may carry out these transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
The anticipated date of delivery of the securities offered by this prospectus will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering. In an underwritten offering of securities, the underwriters will expect to deliver the securities against payment therefor on or about a date that will be specified on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement.
To comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the securities may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
This prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement may be made available in electronic format on the Internet sites of, or through online services maintained by, any of the underwriters, dealers, agents and selling

In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and, depending upon the particular underwriter, dealer, agent, selling group member or affiliate thereof, prospective investors may be allowed to place orders for the purchase of securities online. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the underwriter, dealer or agent on the same basis as other allocations.
Other than this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement in electronic format, the information on the underwriter’s, dealer’s, agent’s or any selling group member’s web site and any information contained in any other web site maintained by the underwriter, dealer, agent or any selling group member is not part of this prospectus, the prospectus supplement or supplements or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or any of the underwriters, dealers, agents or selling group members in its capacity as underwriter, dealer, agent or selling group member and should not be relied upon by investors.
