Form 424B2 Ferguson Enterprises

Ferguson Enterprises Inc. (the “Issuer”), a Delaware corporation, is offering $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.800% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.600% senior notes due 2036 (the “2036 Notes” and, collectively with the 2029 Notes, the “Notes”).

The 2029 Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 4.800% per year and mature on August 14, 2029 and the 2036 Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 5.600% per year and mature on August 14, 2036.

Interest will be payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 14 and August 14 of each year, beginning on February 14, 2027 and accruing from August 14, 2026.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with proceeds from the DDTL Facility (as defined herein), to fund all or a portion of the consideration and related fees and expenses payable in connection with our pending acquisition of FWI Holdings, Inc. (the “Acquisition”) and any remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repaying existing indebtedness. If the Acquisition does not close, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include repaying existing indebtedness. The closing of this offering is not conditioned on the closing of the Acquisition. See “Use of Proceeds.”

The Issuer may redeem each series of Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the applicable redemption price discussed under the caption “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.” If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined herein) occurs, the Issuer may be required to repurchase the Notes from holders. See “Description of the Notes—Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.”

The obligations under the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by Ferguson UK Holdings Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, and an indirect subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Guarantor”). The Notes and the related Guarantee will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor, respectively, and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s respective existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes and the related Guarantee will rank senior in right of payment to all the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s respective existing and future subordinated indebtedness. In addition, the Notes and the related Guarantee will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s respective existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Notes will not be guaranteed by any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries other than the Guarantor and will therefore be structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations (including trade payables) of each of the Issuer’s subsidiaries other than the Guarantor.

The Notes of each series will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. For a more detailed description of the Notes, see “Description of the Notes” beginning on page S-13.

Investing in the Notes involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-8 of this prospectus supplement and those risk factors incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider before investing in the Notes.

Each series of Notes are new issues of securities with no established trading markets. We do not intend to apply to list the Notes on any national securities exchange or include the Notes in any automated quotation system.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The underwriters expect to deliver the Notes to purchasers through the book-entry delivery system of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and its participants, including Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking, S.A. on or about August 14, 2026, which will be the third business day following the date of this prospectus supplement (such settlement being referred to as “T+3”).

We provide information to you about the Notes in two separate documents: (1) this prospectus supplement, which describes the terms of this offering and also adds to, modifies and/or updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in that prospectus, and (2) the accompanying prospectus, which provides general information about securities we may offer from time to time, including securities other than and information that does not apply to the Notes being offered by this prospectus supplement. Both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus include important information about us and other information you should know before investing in our Notes. If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on this prospectus supplement.

It is important for you to read and consider all the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in making your investment decision. You also should read and consider the information in the documents we have referred you to in the section entitled “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference; Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus supplement.

We are responsible for the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any permitted free writing prospectus. We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide you with different or additional information.

As used in this prospectus supplement, unless the context requires otherwise (i) all references to “Ferguson,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Ferguson Enterprises Inc. and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, except in the sections titled “The Offering” and “Description of the Notes,” where such terms refer only to Ferguson Enterprises Inc., excluding its subsidiaries, (ii) all references to the “Issuer” refer to Ferguson Enterprises Inc., excluding its subsidiaries, (iii) all references to “Guarantor” refer to Ferguson UK Holdings Limited, excluding its subsidiaries and (iv) references to “$” or “dollars” are to the lawful currency of the United States.

Certain information included in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is forward-looking, including within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and involves risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements cover all matters which are not historical facts and include, without limitation, statements or guidance regarding or relating to our future financial position, results of operations and growth, plans and objectives for the future including our capabilities and priorities, expectations regarding global and regional economic, market and political conditions, ability to manage supply chain challenges, ability to manage the impact of product price fluctuations, the overall performance of, including demand levels for, the markets in which we operate, pending acquisitions, including the anticipated timing, financing, synergies and financial impact of such transactions, including the Acquisition, capital deployment strategy, including the amount and timing of our dividends and share repurchases, investments and capital expenditures and other statements concerning the success of our business and strategies.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including terms such as “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “continues,” “plans,” “projects,” “goal,” “target,” “aim,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology and other similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. They are not assurances of future performance and are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to:

Additionally, forward-looking statements regarding past trends or activities should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. Other than in accordance with our legal or regulatory obligations, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and under similar headings in our other filings with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. You should carefully read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in their entirety. They contain information that you should consider when making your investment decision.

An investment in the Notes involves risks. Prior to making a decision about investing in the Notes, and in consultation with your own financial and legal advisors, you should carefully consider the following risk factors regarding the Notes and this offering as well as the information set forth under “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the five-month transition period from August 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (as such risk factors may be updated from time to time in our public filings, which are incorporated by reference herein), which is incorporated by reference herein. You should also carefully consider the information described under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus supplement and the other information included in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the other information incorporated by reference herein and therein. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment.

Creditors of a subsidiary are entitled to be paid what is due to them before assets of the subsidiary become available for creditors of its parent. While the Notes will be guaranteed by the Guarantor, the Notes will not be guaranteed by any of the Issuer’s other subsidiaries and will therefore be structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations (including trade payables) of such non-guarantor subsidiaries. The incurrence of indebtedness, liabilities or other unsecured obligations by any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries is not prohibited by the indenture governing the Notes and could adversely affect our ability to pay our obligations on the Notes. Subsidiaries other than the Guarantor are obligors on a portion of our outstanding debt.

The Issuer and the Guarantor are each holding companies with no independent operations and are dependent on distributions of funds from their respective operating subsidiaries for cash. Consequently, the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s ability to service their respective debt, including the Notes and the related Guarantee, depends in part upon the earnings of their operating subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings, or upon loans or other payments of funds by those subsidiaries, to the Issuer and the Guarantor, as applicable. The payment of dividends and the making of loans and advances to the Issuer and the Guarantor by their respective subsidiaries may be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions, may depend upon the earnings of those subsidiaries and may be subject to various business considerations.

As a result of the foregoing, when evaluating the terms of the Notes, you should be aware that the terms of the indenture governing the Notes, the Notes and the related Guarantee will not restrict our ability to engage in, or otherwise be a party to, a variety of corporate transactions, circumstances and events that could have an adverse impact on your investment in the Notes. You should also be aware that if we incur any additional debt that ranks equally with the Notes, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with you in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of our company. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you.

The Notes and the related Guarantee will not be secured by any of our assets or those of our subsidiaries. As a result, the Notes and the related Guarantee will be effectively subordinated to any secured debt the Issuer or the Guarantor may incur to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. In any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding, the holders of our secured debt may assert rights against the secured assets in order to receive full payment of their debt before the assets may be used to pay the holders of the Notes.

Prior to this offering, there were no markets for the Notes. We do not intend to apply to list the Notes on any national securities exchange or include them in any automated quotation system. The underwriters have informed us that they intend to make a market in the Notes of each series after this offering is completed. The underwriters, however, may cease their market-making at any time without notice. We cannot assure you trading markets for your Notes will ever develop or be maintained if developed. Furthermore, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of trading markets that may develop for the Notes, whether you will be able to sell the Notes, or the price at which you may be able to sell the Notes. The price at which the Notes of each series may trade will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, prevailing interest rates, general economic conditions, our performance and financial results and markets for similar securities. The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Notes of each series.

The Issuer may choose to redeem the Notes of each series at any time prior to their maturity date. If the Issuer chooses to redeem your Notes, you may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on your Notes being redeemed.

We expect that the Notes will be rated by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. A rating is not a recommendation to purchase, hold or sell the Notes, since a rating does not predict the market price of a particular security or its suitability for a particular investor. Any rating organization that rates the Notes may lower its rating or decide not to continue to rate the Notes in its sole discretion. The ratings of the Notes will be based primarily on the rating organization’s assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of interest when due and the payment of principal on the maturity date. Any downgrade or withdrawal of a rating by a rating agency that rates the Notes could have an adverse effect on the trading prices or liquidity of the Notes.

The Guarantee of the Notes may be automatically released under various circumstances described under “Description of the Notes—Guarantee.” Such release may occur at any time in the following circumstances:

The Guarantor is incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. Obligations under the Guarantee of the Notes may not be enforceable in all circumstances under English law. For example, there is a risk that the Guarantee may be challenged as unenforceable on the basis that there is an absence of corporate benefit on the part of the Guarantor or that it is not for the purpose of carrying on the business of the Guarantor. Under English law, an administrator or liquidator, as applicable, has certain powers to (among other things) apply to the court for such order as the court sees fit (including an order to set aside any transaction) to restore the position to what it would have been if the company had not entered into a transaction with any person at an “undervalue” (as described in the UK Insolvency Act 1986) if: (x) the company has made a gift to another party or received consideration significantly lower than the value of the consideration given by the company, or at an undervalue and for the purpose of putting assets beyond the reach, or otherwise prejudicing the interests, of persons who might claim against it, (y) the transaction was entered into at a time in the period of two years ending with the onset of insolvency or entering administration and (z) the company was unable to pay its debts at the time of the transaction, or became unable to pay its debts as a result. Additionally, if the liquidator or administrator can show that a “preference” was given by a company at a time in the period of six months ending with the onset of insolvency (or two years if the preference is to a “connected person” (as defined in the UK Insolvency Act 1986)), a court can make such order as it sees fit to restore the position to what it would have been had the preference not been given (including an order to set aside any transaction).

Under administration and liquidation there is an effective moratorium preventing third parties from enforcing the majority of their rights against the company by way of proceedings without the prior consent of the administrator or liquidator, or order of the English Court. If consent or an order is not obtained, holders of the Notes may only be able to enforce their rights via collective insolvency proceedings. Recoveries from a guarantor in administration or liquidation could be significantly reduced. The directors of the Guarantor can also apply for a standalone moratorium under the UK Insolvency Act 1986 in certain circumstances, which generally has broadly the same effect as the moratorium under administration and liquidation.

Rights under a guarantee could also be compromised by way of an English law company voluntary arrangement (under the UK Insolvency Act 1986), or a scheme of arrangement or restructuring plan (under the UK Companies Act 2006), all of which can be proposed by the Guarantor itself (subject to certain threshold requirements being satisfied). As a result of such compromise, holders of the Notes may lose their right to bring a claim against the Guarantor and/or only be able to recover a portion of amounts originally recoverable under the guarantee.

In addition to the English statutory insolvency provisions, there may be provisions in English company law, including certain fraud-based offences, under which transactions may be set aside and other rights may be exercisable in the event of an English law insolvency process.

The Guarantor is a private limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales and a portion of all its assets is located in jurisdictions outside the United States. Original actions, or actions for the enforcement of judgements of United States courts, relating to the civil liability provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the United States are not directly enforceable in England and Wales as the United States and the United Kingdom do not currently have a treaty providing for recognition and enforcement of judgments (other than arbitration awards, in civil and commercial matters). Accordingly, it could be difficult for holders of Notes to recover against the Guarantor on judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws.

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses and fees payable by us, will be approximately $1,191 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with proceeds from the DDTL Facility, to fund all or a portion of the consideration and related fees and expenses payable in connection with the Acquisition and any remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repaying existing indebtedness. If the Acquisition does not close, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include repaying existing indebtedness. The closing of this offering is not conditioned on the closing of the Acquisition. Our management will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering.

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of June 30, 2026, on an actual basis, on an as adjusted basis to give effect to the offering of the Notes and on an as further adjusted basis to give effect to the completion of the Acquisition, including the applications of the proceeds of this offering, the expected borrowings under the DDTL Facility and the payment of related fees and expenses.

Actual amounts may vary from the as adjusted and as further adjusted amounts set forth below depending on several factors, including potential changes in our financing plans as a result of market conditions. The as further adjusted information presented in the table below has not been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and does not purport to represent what our actual capitalization would have been had the Acquisition been completed as of June 30, 2026, nor does it purport to project our capitalization for any future date or period. The as further adjusted information is presented for illustrative purposes only and reflects only certain adjustments to our capitalization to give effect to the Acquisition, the offering of the Notes, the expected borrowings under the DDTL Facility and the payment of related fees and expenses, and does not reflect all adjustments that would be necessary to present our capitalization on a pro forma basis in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. You should read the data set forth in the table below in conjunction with the “Use of Proceeds” section appearing elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement from our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The as adjusted and as further adjusted information set forth below may differ from actual results and may not reflect our cash, debt and capitalization in the future.

This “Description of the Notes” and the section entitled “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees” in the accompanying prospectus summarize certain material provisions of the Indenture and the Notes, but do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the Indenture and the Notes, including definitions therein of certain terms and provisions made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as a holder of the Notes. This “Description of the Notes” supplements the “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees” in the accompanying prospectus and, to the extent it is inconsistent, replaces such description in the accompanying prospectus. For purposes of this “Description of the Notes,” references to (i) the “Issuer,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer only to Ferguson Enterprises Inc., excluding its subsidiaries and (ii) the “Guarantor” refer only to Ferguson UK Holdings Limited, excluding its subsidiaries.

The Notes of each series are to be issued under an indenture, dated as of September 30, 2024 (the “base indenture”), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture, to be dated as of August 14, 2026 (the “supplemental indenture” and, the base indenture as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), by and among us, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “trustee”). The Notes will be issued in two series of U.S. dollar denominated notes. We will initially issue $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.800% senior notes that will mature on August 14, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.600% senior notes that will mature on August 14, 2036 (the “2036 Notes” and, collectively with the 2029 Notes, the “Notes”).

The Notes of each series are unsecured and will rank equally with our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The Notes of each series will be guaranteed on an unsecured basis by the Guarantor.

The Notes of each series will be issued only in fully registered, book-entry form, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will:

A substantial portion of our assets are owned through our subsidiaries, and we depend on distributions of cash flow and earnings from our subsidiaries in order to meet our payment obligations under the Notes and our other debt obligations. Many of our subsidiaries have significant debt or other liabilities of their own which will be structurally senior to the Notes. Other than the Guarantor, none of our subsidiaries will guarantee or have any obligations with respect to the Notes. Therefore, our rights and the rights of our creditors, including holders of the Notes, to participate in the assets of any non-guarantor subsidiary upon any such non-guarantor subsidiary’s liquidation may be subject to the prior claims of the non-guarantor subsidiary’s other creditors.

The payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on each series of Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) on an unsecured basis by the Guarantor. The Guarantee will:

The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law and, therefore, are limited to the amount that the Guarantor could guarantee without such Guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance; this limitation, however, may not be effective to prevent such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance. If the Guarantee was rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, the Guarantor’s liability on its Guarantee could be reduced to zero. In such an event, the Notes offered hereby would be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Guarantor. See “Risk Factors—Applicable English law may allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void, vary or subordinate the Guarantee and require the holders of the Notes to return payments, if any, received from the Guarantor.” The Guarantee of the Guarantor will be automatically released without any further action required on the part of the trustee or any holder of the Notes upon:

As used herein “Unsecured Notes” means the 3.51% Series N Guaranteed Senior Notes due November 30, 2026, the 4.250% Notes due 2027, the 3.83% Series K Guaranteed Senior Notes due September 1, 2027, the 4.500% Notes due 2028, the 3.250% Notes due 2030, the 4.650% Notes due 2032, the 5.000% Senior Notes due 2034 and the 4.35% Notes due 2031, in each case issued by the Issuer, Ferguson Finance plc or Wolsey Capital, Inc., as applicable.

The Notes will accrue interest from August 14, 2026 at the annual rate stated on the cover of this prospectus supplement.

We will pay interest on the Notes in cash in arrears on February 14 and August 14 of each year, with the first payment on February 14, 2027, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on January 30 and July 30, as the case may be (in each case, whether or not a business day), immediately preceding the related interest payment date.

Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. We will make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest of any global note through the trustee or paying agent to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). If any of the Notes are no longer represented by a global note, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on definitive notes may, at our option, be made by check mailed directly to holders of the Notes at their registered addresses appearing in the security register. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if it has been deposited with the trustee or paying agent in accordance with the base indenture.

Payments of principal of and interest on the Notes issued in book-entry form and in definitive form, if any, will be made as described under “Book-Entry Issuance.”

Interest payable on any interest payment date, redemption date or maturity date shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the next preceding interest payment date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the original issue date, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the Notes) to, but excluding, such interest payment date, redemption date or maturity date, as the case may be. If any interest payment date, redemption date or maturity date falls on a legal holiday, then, payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, as the case may be, will be made on the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on the interest payment date, redemption date or maturity date, as applicable; provided that no additional interest shall accrue with respect to the payment due on such date for the period from and after such interest payment date, redemption date or maturity date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding business day.

The indenture will not contain any provisions that would limit the Issuer’s ability to incur additional unsecured indebtedness or require the maintenance of financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity.

As used herein the following terms have the meanings assigned to them:

“business day” means any day, other than a legal holiday.

“legal holiday” means a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed.

Prior to the applicable Par Call Date, we may redeem each series of Notes at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price calculated by us (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

On or after the applicable Par Call Date, we may redeem each series of Notes at our option, 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 being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

As used herein the following terms have the meanings assigned to them:

“Par Call Date” means, with respect to the 2029 Notes, July 14, 2029 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes) and with respect to the 2036 Notes, May 14, 2036 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2036 Notes).

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date prior to the applicable Par Call Date, the yield determined by us in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate applicable to the Notes shall be determined by us after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)-H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the applicable Treasury Rate, we shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the applicable Par Call Date (the “Remaining

Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields-one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life-and shall interpolate to the applicable Par Call Date, on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from such redemption date.

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, we shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the applicable Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date, and one with a maturity date following the applicable Par Call Date, we shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date, or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

Our actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The trustee shall have no duty to determine, or verify the calculation of, the redemption price.

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 Notes to be redeemed.

Any redemption of the Notes may, at our discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction. In such event, any related written notice of redemption will describe such conditions precedent and, if applicable, will state that, in our discretion, (i) the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including by more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by us in our sole discretion) or (ii) such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions will not have been satisfied or waived by us by the relevant redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, we may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of our obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person.

In the case of a partial redemption of the Notes, selection of the Notes being redeemed will be made by the trustee by lot. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. Except in the case of global notes, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the 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 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

We may at any time, and from time to time, purchase the Notes at any price or prices in the open market or otherwise.

Except as set forth in this prospectus supplement, the Notes will not be redeemable by us prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to a series of Notes, unless we have exercised our option to redeem such series of Notes as described above under “—Optional Redemption,” each holder of the Notes of such series will have the right to require that we purchase all or a portion (equal to a minimum of $2,000 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 in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of holders 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 the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred or, at our option, prior to and conditioned on the occurrence of, any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, we must deliver a notice to each holder of Notes of the relevant series, with a copy to the trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 10 days nor (except to the extent such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event) later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent and, if the notice is sent prior to the Change of Control, no earlier than the date of the occurrence of the Change of Control, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The Change of Control Payment Date may be designated by reference to the date that the Change of Control Triggering Event is satisfied, rather than a specific date. The notice will, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, 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 definitive notes electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice. Holders of global notes must transfer their Notes to the paying agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the paying agent and DTC (in the case of global notes), in each case prior to the close of business on the third business day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if (i) a third party makes such an offer in the manner and at the times required and otherwise in compliance with the requirements applicable to such an offer had it been made by us, and such third party purchases all Notes of the relevant series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer or (ii) a notice of redemption of all outstanding Notes of the relevant series has been given pursuant to the Indenture as described above under “—Optional Redemption,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

If holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the relevant series validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer to repurchase such Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event and we, or any third party making an offer to repurchase the Notes of the relevant series upon a Change of Control Triggering Event in lieu of us, as described above, purchase all of the Notes of the relevant series validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, then we will have the right, upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date, to redeem all Notes of the relevant series that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, subject to the rights of the holders of Notes of the relevant series on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, conflict with the “Change of Control Triggering Event” provisions of the Indenture and the

Notes, we will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Indenture and the Notes by virtue of compliance with the securities laws and regulations. We may rely on any no-action letters issued by the SEC indicating that the staff of the SEC will not recommend enforcement action in the event a tender offer satisfies certain conditions.

The provisions under the Indenture relating to our obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes of the relevant series.

The Change of Control Offer feature of the Notes may in certain circumstances make it more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of us and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. We have no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that we could decide to do so in the future. Subject to the limitations discussed below and under “—Consolidation, Merger or Sale,” we could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that could increase the amount of our indebtedness or that of our subsidiaries outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or that of our subsidiaries or the credit ratings of the Notes. Restrictions on our ability to consolidate, merge or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets are contained in the covenants as described below under “—Consolidation, Merger or Sale.” Except for the limitations contained in such covenants and the covenant relating to repurchases upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Offer, however, the Indenture will not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford holders of the Notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

The phrase “all or substantially all,” as used with respect to our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries in the definition of “Change of Control,” is subject to interpretation under applicable state law, and its applicability in a given instance would depend upon the facts and circumstances. There is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” and there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the applicability of the requirement that we offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person may be uncertain.

As used herein the following terms have the meanings assigned to them:

“Capital Stock” means:

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (A) we become a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of another person and (B) either (i) the shares of our Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of such person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or

(ii) immediately following such transaction no “person” or “group” of related persons (as such terms are defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than a person satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such person.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means with respect to a series of Notes the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event.

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Inc. and its successors.

“Investment Grade” means (1) with respect to S&P or Fitch, a rating equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent), (2) with respect to Moody’s, a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) and (3) with respect to any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Issuer, the equivalent investment grade credit rating.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and its successors.

“Rating Agency” means any of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, and if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch shall cease to provide a corporate or issuer credit rating (or the equivalent) of the Issuer or a rating of the Notes, as applicable, a nationally recognized statistical rating agency selected by the Issuer to substitute for such Rating Agency.

“Rating Event” means with respect to any series of Notes:

provided that a Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular downgrade in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event hereunder) if the Rating Agency making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply does not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Issuer that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Rating Event). For the avoidance of doubt, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., and its successors.

“Subsidiary” means, for any person, any corporation, partnership or other entity of which at least a majority of the securities or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions of such corporation, partnership or other entity (irrespective of whether or not at the time securities or other ownership interests of any other class or classes of such corporation, partnership or other entity will or might have voting power upon the occurrence of any contingency) is at the time of any determination directly or indirectly owned by such person, by such person and one or more other Subsidiaries of such person or by one or more other Subsidiaries of such person.

“Trigger Period” means the period commencing on the first public announcement by the Issuer of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following the public notice of the consummation of the Change of Control; provided, that if the rating of the relevant series of Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies, such 60-day period shall be extended until the first to occur of (x) the date that such Rating Agency announces the results of its review and (y) the date that is 180 days after consummation of the Change of Control.

“Voting Stock” of any specified person as of any date means the Capital Stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors or managers of such person (or, if such person is a partnership, the board of directors or other governing body of the general partner of such person).

So long as any of the Notes remains outstanding, each of the Issuer and the Guarantor will not be permitted to create or permit to subsist, and the Issuer will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to create or permit to subsist, any Lien upon, or with respect to, any of the Issuer’s, the Guarantor’s or any of such Subsidiaries’ present or future revenues or assets to secure any of the Issuer’s or the Guarantor’s Relevant Indebtedness or any Relevant Indebtedness of any Subsidiary of the Issuer, unless the Issuer, the Guarantor or such Subsidiary, as applicable, simultaneously with, or prior to, the creation of any such Lien, takes any and all action necessary to procure that all amounts payable by the Issuer in respect of the Notes and by the Guarantor under the Guarantee are secured equally and ratably for so long as any such Lien securing Relevant Indebtedness subsists; provided, however, such limitation will not apply to or operate to prevent or restrict the creation of or permitting to subsist of the following permitted Liens with respect to the Issuer, the Guarantor and any Subsidiary of the Issuer:

As used herein the following terms have the meanings assigned to them:

“Liens” means any mortgage, lien, pledge or other security interest.

“Relevant Indebtedness” means any indebtedness for borrowed money which is in the form of or represented by any bonds, notes or other securities which have a final maturity of more than one year from the

date of their creation and which are for the time being quoted, listed or dealt in, at the request of the Issuer or the Guarantor, on any stock exchange or recognized securities market.

The Guarantor will be required to make all payments under or with respect to the Guarantee free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of (i) the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, (ii) any other jurisdiction in which the Guarantor is organized or is otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having the power to tax, or (iii) any jurisdiction from or through which payment under or with respect to the Guarantee is made or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having the power to tax (each a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof.

If the Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Guarantee, the Guarantor will be required to pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by a holder of the Notes (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction (including any such withholding or deduction in respect of such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to:

In addition, the Guarantor will not pay Additional Amounts (a) to the extent the payment could have been made without such deduction or withholding if the Notes or Guarantee had been presented for payment (where presentation is permitted or required for payment) within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Notes or Guarantee became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, (b) with respect to any payment on the Notes or Guarantee to any holder of the Notes who is a fiduciary or partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for tax purposes) or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual holder of such Notes, or (c) in respect of any Notes to the extent such withholding or deduction is imposed as a result of any combination of clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of the preceding paragraph and/or clauses (a) and (b) of this paragraph.

The Guarantor will make any required withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Guarantor will provide the trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, with official receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so withheld or deducted. If, notwithstanding the Guarantor’s efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, the Guarantor will provide the trustee with other evidence. In no event, however, shall the Guarantor be required to disclose any information that the Guarantor reasonably deems to be confidential.

If the Guarantor is or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts under or with respect to any payment made on the Guarantee, at least 30 days prior to the date of such payment (unless the Guarantor becomes aware of the obligation to pay Additional Amounts less than 30 days prior to that payment date, in which case the Guarantor shall notify the trustee, in writing, promptly thereafter), the Guarantor will deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate stating that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount so payable and such other information necessary to enable the paying agent to pay Additional Amounts to holders on the relevant payment date.

Whenever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context:

The obligations described under this heading will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and any transfer of the Notes and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor to the Guarantor is organized or resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein (each of which shall also be treated as a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction).

The Issuer is entitled to redeem each series of Notes, at its option, at any time in whole but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and all Additional Amounts (if any), to, but excluding, the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders of Notes of the relevant series on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, in the event the Guarantor has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes of the relevant series, any Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes of the relevant series as a result of:

Before the Issuer mails or delivers notice of redemption of the Notes as described above, the Issuer will deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate stating that the Guarantor cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it and that all conditions precedent to the redemption have been complied with. The Issuer will also deliver an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change in tax laws or regulations or a new application or interpretation of such laws or regulations (as described in (1) or (2) in the first paragraph above) and that all conditions precedent to the redemption have been complied with.

The foregoing will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor to the Guarantor is incorporated or organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein; provided that if on the date of the succession the taxing jurisdiction is not already a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, the change or amendment is announced on or after that date.

We may not consolidate with or merge into any other person, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, any other person unless the successor entity is organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and:

Every such successor person, upon executing such supplemental indenture, will succeed to the Issuer with the same effect as if it had been an original party hereto (which succession shall relieve the Issuer of all liabilities and discharge the Issuer from all obligations and covenants, in each case under the Indenture and the Notes), and such successor person will possess and from time to time may exercise each and every power hereunder of the Issuer and may execute and deliver the Notes under the Indenture in the name of such successor person, and any act or proceeding required by the Indenture to be done or performed by any board or officer of the Issuer may be done or performed with like force and effect by the like board or officer of such successor person. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes to be issued as may be appropriate.

The Guarantor may not consolidate with or merge into any other person, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, any other person unless the successor entity is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands (including Jersey and Guernsey) or any other country that is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and:

Every such successor person, upon executing such supplemental indenture, will succeed to the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been an original party hereto (which succession shall relieve the Guarantor of all liabilities and discharge the Guarantor from all obligations and covenants, in each case under the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantee).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the Guarantor may (a) consolidate or otherwise combine with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer, (b) consolidate or otherwise combine with or merge into an affiliate of the Issuer incorporated or organized for the purpose of changing the legal domicile of the Guarantor, reincorporating the Guarantor in another jurisdiction, or changing the legal form of the Guarantor, (c) convert into a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or trust organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Guarantor and (d) liquidate or dissolve or change its legal form if the Issuer determines in good faith that such action is in the best interests of the Issuer (as evidenced by an officer’s certificate delivered to the trustee).

We will, pursuant to Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, so long as the Notes are outstanding, file with the trustee such information, documents and other reports as may be required to comply with the provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act; provided that any such information, documents or reports required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed with the trustee within 15 days after the same is so required to be filed with the SEC; provided further that (i) any failure to comply with this provision will not constitute a default or an event of default under the Indenture and (ii) only the trustee, acting at the written direction of holders of a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes, may institute a legal proceeding against the Issuer to enforce such delivery obligation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent we file such information and reports with the SEC and such information is publicly available, we will be deemed to be in compliance with our obligations to furnish or file such information to the trustee.

The Indenture will not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued under it. We may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes ranking equally and ratably with the Notes of the relevant series in all respects, and having the same terms as the Notes of the relevant series in all respects except for the issue date, the public offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or the first interest payment date following the issue date of those additional notes; provided that if any additional notes are not fungible with the Notes of the relevant series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional notes will have a separate CUSIP number.

In addition to the events of default and related provisions that are set forth in the accompanying prospectus under the heading “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees—Events of Default,” the following shall be events of default with respect to the Notes of any series:

All provisions relating to defeasance and covenant defeasance are as set forth in the accompanying prospectus under the heading “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees—Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.” In addition, in the event the Issuer exercises its right to defeasance or covenant defeasance, the Guarantee will cease to be of further effect and the Guarantor will be automatically released from all of its obligations with respect to the Guarantee.

All provisions permitting us to enter into supplemental indentures with the trustee without the consent of the holders of the Notes are as set forth in the accompanying prospectus under the heading “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees—Modification and Waivers.”

All provisions limiting our ability to enter into supplemental indentures and guarantee agreements with the consent of the holders of the Notes are as set forth in the accompanying prospectus under the heading “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees—Modification and Waivers.”

All provisions relating to the satisfaction and discharge of our obligations under the Indenture are as set forth in the accompanying prospectus under the heading “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees—Satisfaction and Discharge.” In addition, in the event the Issuer exercises its right to satisfy and discharge the Notes, the Guarantee will cease to be of further effect and the Guarantor will be automatically released from all of its obligations with respect to the Guarantee.

The Bank of New York Mellon will be the trustee, paying agent and security registrar with respect to the Notes and maintains various commercial and investment banking relationships with us and with affiliates of ours.

The Bank of New York Mellon, in each of its capacities, including without limitation as trustee, paying agent, and security registrar assumes no responsibility and will have no liability for the accuracy, correctness, adequacy, or completeness of the information concerning us or our affiliates or any other party contained in this prospectus supplement or the related documents or for any failure by us or any other party to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance, correctness, adequacy, completeness, or accuracy of such information. The trustee (including in its capacities as paying agent and security registrar) will be entitled to those certain rights, privileges, immunities, indemnities, limitations of liability, and protections, as more fully set forth in the Indenture.

Our paying agent for the Notes is The Bank of New York Mellon, located at 240 Greenwich Street, Floor 7E, New York, New York 10286, Attn: Corporate Trust Administration.

We may at any time designate additional paying agents or rescind the designations or approve a change in the offices where they act.

We will pay principal, interest and any premium on the Notes in U.S. dollars at the office of the paying agent. Subject to applicable abandoned property law, any moneys deposited with the trustee or paying agent not applied but remaining unclaimed by the holders of the Notes for two years after the date upon which the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Notes has become due and payable will be repaid to us by the trustee or such agent on written demand.

The Indenture will provide that the Guarantor will appoint the Issuer, as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantee brought in any federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York and will submit to such jurisdiction.

We do not intend to apply to list the Notes on any national securities exchange or include them in any automated quotation system.

The Notes will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global notes which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC, as the depositary, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC’s nominee, or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. Beneficial interests in the global notes will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in DTC. Investors may elect to hold interests in the global notes directly through DTC. Except under circumstances described below, the Notes will not be issuable in definitive form. The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of their securities in definitive form. These limits and laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in the global notes.

So long as the depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of the global notes, the depositary or its nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Notes represented by the global notes for all purposes under the indenture governing the Notes.

Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the global notes will not be entitled to have the Notes represented by global notes registered in their name, 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 thereof under the indenture governing the Notes.

In addition, except as provided below, a global note may be transferred, in whole or in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.

If the depositary notifies the Issuer that it is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Notes, or if at any time the depositary for the Notes has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation at a time when the depositary is required to be so registered to act as depositary, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor depositary with respect to the Notes. If a successor depositary for the Notes is not appointed by us within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or become aware of such ineligibility, the Issuer will issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for the global notes. In addition, the Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine not to have the Notes represented by the global notes and, in that event, will issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for the global notes. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the global notes will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Notes represented by the global notes equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name. Notes so issued in definitive form will be issued as registered Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise specified by the Issuer. Notes in definitive form can be transferred by presentation for registration to the registrar at its offices and must be duly endorsed by the holder or their attorney duly authorized in writing, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the trustee duly executed by the holder or their attorney duly authorized in writing. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes in definitive form.

The depositary advises as follows:

DTC is:

The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. The information contained on the DTC’s website is not intended to form a part of, or be incorporated by reference into, this prospectus supplement.

Purchases of the Notes under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Notes on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Note will be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. These beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participants through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Notes, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Notes is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Notes deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of the Notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the Notes. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the Notes; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Notes are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Principal, interest payments and redemption proceeds, if any, on the Notes will be made to Cede & Co, as nominee of DTC, or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Issuer or the trustee, on the applicable payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such participant and not of DTC, the Issuer or the trustee, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, interest and redemption proceeds to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Issuer or the trustee, as applicable. Disbursement of payments from Cede & Co. to Direct Participants is DTC’s responsibility. Disbursements of payments to beneficial owners are the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

In any case where a vote may be required with respect to the Notes, neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to such Notes unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the issuer of securities as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Notes are credited on the record date (identified in the listing attached to the omnibus proxy).

In any case where we have made a tender offer for the purchase of any of the Notes, a beneficial owner must give notice through a participant to a tender agent to elect to have its Notes purchased or tendered. The beneficial owner must deliver the Notes by causing the Direct Participants to transfer the participant’s interest in the Notes, on DTC’s records, to a tender agent. The requirement for physical delivery of the Notes in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase is satisfied when the ownership rights in the Notes are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Notes to the tender agent’s DTC account.

We obtained the information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.

Initial settlement for the Notes will be made in same-day U.S. dollar funds. Secondary market trading between DTC participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules.

Notices to holders of the Notes will be sent by mail to the registered holders when the Notes are in definitive form. So long as the global notes are held on behalf of DTC or any other clearing system, notices (including redemption notices) to holders of Notes represented by a beneficial interest in the global notes shall be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC or the alternative clearing system, as the case may be, in accordance with DTC or such clearing system’s customary policies and procedures. If less than all of the Notes are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in such Notes to be redeemed.

Investors may hold interests in the Notes outside the United States through Euroclear or Clearstream if they are participants in those systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in those systems.

Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in Euroclear’s and Clearstream’s names on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold such positions in customers’ securities accounts in the names of the nominees of the depositaries on the books of DTC. All securities in Euroclear or Clearstream are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts.

The following is based on information furnished by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be. Euroclear has advised us that:

Clearstream has advised us that:

We have provided the following descriptions of the operations and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of Euroclear and Clearstream and are subject to change by them from time to time. Neither we, the underwriters nor the trustee or the paying agent take any responsibility for these operations or procedures, and you are urged to contact Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants directly to discuss these matters.

Secondary market trading between Euroclear Participants and Clearstream Participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in immediately available funds.

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Euroclear or Clearstream Participants, on the other, will be effected within DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its U.S. depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global notes in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear Participants and Clearstream Participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. depositaries.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of a transaction with a DTC participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits, or any transactions in the securities settled during such processing, will be reported to the relevant Euroclear Participants or Clearstream Participants on that business day. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of securities by or through a Euroclear Participant or a Clearstream Participant to a DTC participant will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of securities among participants of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and they may discontinue the procedures at any time.

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations of the ownership and disposition of the Notes to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders (each as defined below). This summary is based upon provisions of the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement, any of which may subsequently be changed, possibly retroactively, or interpreted differently by the Internal Revenue Service, or the “IRS,” so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. Except where noted, this summary deals only with a Note held as a capital asset (within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code) by a beneficial owner who purchases the Note on original issuance at the first price at which a substantial portion of the Notes of the applicable series is sold for cash to persons other than bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers. This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxes, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, and does not deal with all tax consequences that may be relevant to holders in light of their personal circumstances or particular situations, such as:

If an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Notes, the tax treatment of a partner or member generally will depend upon the status of the partner or member, the activities of the entity and certain determinations made at the partner, member or entity level. If you are a partner or member in such an entity, you are urged to consult your tax advisors.

If you are considering the purchase of Notes, you are urged to consult your tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you in light of your own specific situation, as well as consequences arising under the U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws or under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

In this discussion, we use the term “U.S. holder” to refer to a beneficial owner of Notes that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

We use the term “non-U.S. holder” to describe a beneficial owner of Notes that is neither a U.S. holder nor a partnership or other entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME, FRANCHISE, PERSONAL PROPERTY AND ANY OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES.

In certain circumstances, we may be required to make payments on the Notes of a series in excess of stated interest and principal, or prior to their scheduled payment dates. The U.S. Treasury regulations provide special rules for contingent payment debt instruments which, if applicable, could cause the timing, amount and character of a holder’s income, gain or loss with respect to the Notes of a series to be different from those described below. For purposes of determining whether a debt instrument is a contingent payment debt instrument, remote or incidental contingencies are ignored. We intend to treat the possibility of our making any of the above payments as remote or to treat such payments as incidental. Accordingly, we do not intend to treat the Notes as contingent payment debt instruments. Our position will be binding on all holders, except a holder that discloses its differing position in a statement attached to its timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year during which the Notes of a series were acquired by such holder. However, our position is not binding on the IRS. If the IRS were to successfully challenge our position, a holder subject to U.S. federal income tax might be required to accrue ordinary income on the Notes of a series in excess of stated interest and to treat as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, any income realized on the taxable disposition of the Notes of a series before the resolution of the contingencies. In any event, if we actually make any such additional payment, the timing, amount and character of a holder’s income, gain or loss with respect to the Notes of a series may be affected. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.

Payments of interest on a Note of each series (excluding pre-issuance accrued interest, if any, if a U.S. holder elected to exclude such interest) will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary income at the time it accrues or is actually or constructively received, in accordance with the holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to the discussion under “—Original Issue Discount” below.

It is expected that the Notes will not be treated as issued with “original issue discount” (“OID”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, if the Notes of a series are issued at a discount that is equal to or more than the product of one-fourth of one percent (0.25 percent) of the principal amount of such Notes multiplied by the number of full years to their maturity, such Notes will be “Original Issue Discount Notes.” The difference between the issue price and the principal amount of such Notes will be the OID. The “Issue Price” of a Note of a series is the first price at which a substantial amount of the Notes of that series is sold to the public (i.e., excluding sales of the Notes to underwriters, placement agents, wholesalers, or similar persons).

U.S. holders of Original Issue Discount Notes generally will be subject to special tax accounting rules for obligations issued with OID. U.S. holders of such Notes should be aware that, as described in greater detail below, they generally must include OID in ordinary gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues, in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income.

In general, each U.S. holder of an Original Issue Discount Note, regardless of whether the holder uses the cash or the accrual method of tax accounting, will be required to include in ordinary gross income the sum of the “daily portions” of OID on such Note for all days during the taxable year that the U.S. holder owns such Note. The daily portions of OID on an Original Issue Discount Note are determined by allocating to each day in any accrual period a ratable portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. Accrual periods may be any length and may vary in length over the term of an Original Issue Discount Note, provided that no accrual period is longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs on either the final day or the first day of an accrual period. The amount of OID on an Original Issue Discount Note allocable to each accrual

period is determined by (a) multiplying the “Adjusted Issue Price” (as defined below) of the Original Issue Discount Note at the beginning of the accrual period by its yield to maturity (appropriately adjusted to reflect the length of the accrual period) and (b) subtracting from that product the amount (if any) of stated interest allocable to that accrual period. The “yield to maturity” of a Note of a series is the discount rate that causes the present value of all payments on such Note as of its original date of issue to equal the issue price of such Note. The “Adjusted Issue Price” of an Original Issue Discount Note at the beginning of any accrual period will generally be the sum of its issue price (including pre-issuance accrued interest, if any, if not excluded from the issue price by us) and the amount of OID allocable to all prior accrual periods, reduced by the amount of all payments other than payments of stated interest (if any) made with respect to such Note in all prior accrual periods.

A U.S. holder generally may make an election to include in its income its entire return on a Note of a series (i.e., the excess of all remaining payments to be received on the Note, including payments of stated interest, over the amount paid by the U.S. holder for the Note) under the constant-yield method described above. Such election may be revoked only with the permission of the IRS.

If a U.S. holder purchases a Note of a series for an amount that is greater than the principal amount of such Note, the U.S. holder will be considered to have purchased such Note with amortizable bond premium equal to such excess. However, because we may redeem the Notes of a series prior to maturity at a premium in certain circumstances, special rules apply that may reduce, eliminate or defer the amount of premium that a U.S. holder may amortize with respect to the Notes. A U.S. holder may generally use the amortizable bond premium allocable to an accrual period to offset stated interest required to be included in such holder’s income with respect to the Note in that accrual period. A U.S. holder that elects to amortize bond premium must reduce its tax basis in the Note by the amount of the premium previously amortized. An election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt obligations then owned and thereafter acquired by the U.S. holder and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

If a U.S. holder makes a constant yield election (as described under “—Original Issue Discount” above) for a Note of a series with amortizable bond premium, such election will result in a deemed election to amortize bond premium for all of the holder’s debt instruments with amortizable bond premium and may be revoked only with the permission of the IRS with respect to debt instruments acquired after revocation.

Upon the sale, exchange, redemption, repurchase by us or other taxable disposition of a Note of a series , a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement (less any amount that is attributable to accrued and unpaid interest, which will be taxable as such) and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in such Note. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in a Note of a series will generally equal the cost of such Note to such U.S. holder, increased by any amounts includible in income by the holder as OID and reduced by any amortized premium and any payments other than stated interest made on such Note. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the Note of a series for more than one year at the time of disposition. Generally, long-term capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. holders (including an individual U.S. holder) currently are subject to tax at a lower rate than short-term capital gains or ordinary income. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Information reporting requirements generally will apply to interest on the Notes and the proceeds of a sale, exchange, redemption, repurchase by us or other taxable disposition of a Note of a series paid to a U.S. holder unless the U.S. holder properly establishes that it is an exempt recipient (such as a corporation). Backup withholding will apply to those payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide its correct taxpayer identification number, or certification of exempt status, or if the U.S. holder is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report in full payments of interest and dividend income. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will 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 furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

Subject to the discussion of backup withholding and FATCA below, U.S. federal withholding tax generally will not apply to any payment of interest on a Note of a series to a non-U.S. holder provided that:

If a non-U.S. holder cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest made to the holder (including under the Guarantee) will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless the non-U.S. holder provides the applicable withholding agent with a properly completed and duly executed (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty or (2) IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) stating that interest paid on the Notes is not subject to U.S. federal withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

If a non-U.S. holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest on the Notes of a series is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment, then, although the non-U.S. holder will be exempt from the 30% withholding tax provided the certification requirements discussed above are satisfied, the non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that interest on a net income basis in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. holder. In addition, if a non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lesser rate as may be specified under an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to adjustments. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors on the treatment of interest on the Notes.

Subject to the discussion of backup withholding and FATCA below, gain recognized by a non-U.S. holder on the sale, exchange, redemption, repurchase by us or other taxable disposition of a Note of a series generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

If a non-U.S. holder is an individual or foreign corporation described in the first bullet point above, it will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale, exchange, redemption, repurchase by us or other taxable disposition under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates and in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. holder. In addition, if a non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation that falls under the first bullet point above, it may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lesser rate as may be specified under an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to adjustments. If a non-U.S. holder is eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty between the United States

and its country of residence, any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the manner specified by the treaty and generally will only be subject to U.S. federal income tax if such gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States.

If a non-U.S. holder is an individual described in the second bullet point above, such non-U.S. holder will be subject to a flat 30% (or lesser rate as may be specified under an applicable income tax treaty) tax on the gain derived from the sale, exchange, redemption, repurchase by us or other taxable disposition, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses, even though such non-U.S. holder is not considered a resident of the United States.

Generally, the amount of interest paid to non-U.S. holders and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments must be reported annually to the IRS and to non-U.S. holders. Copies of the information returns reporting such interest and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

In general, a non-U.S. holder will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to payments of interest that we make, provided the applicable statement described above in the last bullet point under “—Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders—Payments of Interest” has been provided and the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the holder is a United States person, as defined under the Code, that is not an exempt recipient. In addition, a non-U.S. holder will be subject to information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding with respect to payments of the proceeds of the sale, exchange, redemption, repurchase by us or other taxable disposition of a Note within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless the statement described above has been received, and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that a holder is a United States person, as defined under the Code, that is not an exempt recipient, or the non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will 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 furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

A 30% U.S. federal withholding tax may apply to interest income paid on Notes paid to (i) a “foreign financial institution” (as specifically defined in the Code), whether such foreign financial institution is the beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless such foreign financial institution agrees to verify, report and disclose its “United States account” holders (as specifically defined in the Code) and meets certain other specified requirements or (ii) a “non-financial foreign entity” (as specifically defined in the Code), whether such non-financial foreign entity is the beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless such non-financial foreign entity provides a certification that the beneficial owner of the payment does not have any substantial U.S. owners or provides the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each substantial U.S. owner and certain other specified requirements are met. While the withholding under FATCA would have applied also to the gross proceeds from a disposition of Notes, proposed U.S. Treasury regulations eliminate such withholding entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed U.S. Treasury regulations until final Treasury regulations are issued. No such final U.S. Treasury regulations have been issued so far. In certain cases, the relevant foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity may qualify for an exemption from, or be deemed to be in compliance with, these rules. Further, foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. If an interest payment is subject both to withholding under FATCA and to the U.S. federal withholding tax discussed above under “—Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders—Payments of Interest,” the U.S. federal withholding under FATCA may be credited against, and therefore reduce, such other U.S. federal withholding tax. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding these rules and whether they may be relevant to their ownership and disposition of Notes.

Subject to the terms and conditions stated in the underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus supplement, each underwriter named below, for whom J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and BofA Securities, Inc. are acting as representatives, has severally agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to that underwriter, the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite the underwriter’s name in the following table:

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the Notes included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the Notes if they purchase any of the Notes. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the offering of Notes may be terminated. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

The Issuer has agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

The Issuer expects to deliver the Notes on or about August 14, 2026, which will be the third business day after the date of this prospectus supplement (such settlement cycle being herein referred to as “T+3”). Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the business day preceding the delivery date may be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of trade to prevent a failed settlement. Investors who wish to trade the Notes prior to the business day preceding the delivery date should consult their own advisors.

The underwriters propose to offer the Notes directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and some of the Notes to dealers at the public offering price less a concession not to exceed 0.150% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes and 0.300% of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes. The underwriters may allow, and any such dealer may reallow, a concession not to exceed 0.100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes and 0.150% of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes. After the initial offering of the Notes to the public, the representatives may change the public offering price and other selling terms.

The underwriting discount to be paid by the Issuer to the underwriters in connection with this offering is 0.250% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes and 0.450% of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes.

We estimate that our total expenses for this offering, other than underwriting discount, will be approximately $2.67 million.

There are currently no public trading markets for the Notes. We have not applied and do not intend to apply to list the Notes on any securities exchange. The underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market

for the Notes of each series. However, they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making in the Notes at any time in their sole discretion. Therefore, we cannot assure you that liquid trading markets for the Notes will develop, that you will be able to sell your Notes at a particular time or that the price you receive when you sell will be favorable. If active trading markets for the Notes do not develop, the market price and liquidity of the Notes of each series may be adversely affected. If the Notes of each series are traded, they may trade at a discount from the initial offering price, depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our operating performance and financial condition, general economic conditions and other factors.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell Notes in the open market. Purchases and sales in the open market may include short sales, purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases.

Purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Notes. They may also cause the price of the Notes to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that transactions described above may have on the price of the Notes.

Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have in the past provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, commercial banking, derivative transactions and financial advisory services to us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they have received or will receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their 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. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these 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 the future trading prices of the Notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their 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.

Certain underwriters are not broker-dealers registered with the SEC and, therefore, may not make sales of any Notes in the United States or to U.S. persons except in compliance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations. To the extent that such underwriters intend to effect sales of the Notes in the United States, they will do so only through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers or otherwise as permitted by applicable U.S. law.

The Notes may be offered and sold in the United States and certain jurisdictions outside the United States in which such offer and sale is permitted.

The Notes may be sold only to purchasers purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principals that are accredited investors, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), and are permitted clients, as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. Any resale of the Notes must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.

Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus (including any amendment thereto) contain a misrepresentation; provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

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.

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 European Economic Area (“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”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (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; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the “Prospectus Regulation”). 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.

This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State of the EEA will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. This prospectus supplement and the underlying prospectus are not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation.

This EEA selling restriction is in addition to any other selling restrictions set out below.

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (“UK”). For these purposes: (a) the expression “retail investor” means a person who is either one or both of the following: (i) not 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 European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“EUWA”); or (ii) not a qualified investor as defined in paragraph 15 of Schedule 1 to the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024. Consequently, no disclosure document required by the FCA Product Disclosure Sourcebook (“DISC”) for offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the DISC and the Consumer Composite Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024. This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in the UK will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Financial Services and Markets Act

2000 and the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK Prospectus Regulation”) from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. Neither this prospectus supplement nor the accompanying prospectus is a prospectus for the purposes of the UK Prospectus Regulation.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any other material in relation to the Notes are only being distributed to, and are directed only at, persons in the UK who are “qualified investors” (as defined in the UK Prospectus Regulation) who are also (i) investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended, the “Order”), or (ii) high net worth entities or other persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order, or (iii) persons to whom it would otherwise be lawful to distribute them, all such persons together being referred to as “Relevant Persons.” The Notes are only available to, and any invitation, offer or agreement to subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire such Notes in the UK will be engaged in only with, Relevant Persons.

This prospectus and the information included or incorporated by reference herein includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements cover all matters which are not historical facts and include, without limitation, statements or guidance regarding or relating to our future financial position, results of operations and growth, plans and objectives for the future including our capabilities and priorities, risks associated with changes in global and regional economic, market and political conditions, ability to manage supply chain challenges, ability to manage the impact of product price fluctuations, our financial condition and liquidity, legal or regulatory changes, and other statements concerning the success of our business and strategies.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including terms such as “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “continues,” “plans,” “projects,” “goal,” “target,” “aim,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology and other similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. They are not assurances of future performance and are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the factors described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” and in other cautionary statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Additionally, forward-looking statements regarding past trends or activities should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. Other than in accordance with our legal or regulatory obligations, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Unless otherwise indicated in any applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered by us under this prospectus and any related prospectus supplement for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include, among other things, the repayment of debt, investments in or extensions of credit to our subsidiaries, stock repurchases or the financing of possible acquisitions or business expansion. Additional information on the use of net proceeds from the sale of any securities that we may offer from time to time under this prospectus will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering.

Any debt securities that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement will be issued under the indenture, dated as of September 30, 2024 (the “indenture”), between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “trustee”), which indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We have summarized selected provisions of the indenture and the debt securities below. The following summary of provisions of the indenture does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indenture, including definitions therein of certain terms and the provisions made part thereof by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

The following summary may not contain all of the information that you may find useful. In particular, the following summary describes only general terms and specific terms of any offered debt securities, and if applicable, the guarantees of the debt securities, and the extent to which the general terms described below apply to these debt securities and, if applicable, any guarantees of the debt securities, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement at the time of the offering. Any prospectus supplement, which we will file with the SEC, may or may not modify the general terms found in this prospectus. If any particular terms of the debt securities or, if applicable, any guarantees of the debt securities described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described in this prospectus, then the terms described in the applicable prospectus supplement will supersede the terms described in this prospectus. For a complete description of any series of debt securities and, if applicable, any guarantees of the debt securities, you should read both this prospectus and the prospectus supplement that applies to that series of debt securities.

The terms and conditions of the debt securities of each series will be set forth in those debt securities and in the indenture, as supplemented for a particular offering of debt securities and, if applicable, guarantees of the debt securities. A form of each debt security, reflecting the specific terms and provisions of that series of debt securities, will be filed with the SEC in connection with each offering of debt securities and will be incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

For purposes of this summary, the terms “Ferguson,” “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer only to Ferguson Enterprises Inc. and not to any of our subsidiaries.

We may issue debt securities at any time and from time to time in one or more series without limitation as to the aggregate principal amount. The indenture gives us the ability to reopen a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of the same series. In addition, a single series may be issued at various times with different maturity dates, different interest rates and different dates from which interest accrues. One or more series of debt securities may be issued with the same or various maturities at par or at a discount. Debt securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below the market rate (“original issue discount securities”) will be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. This discount may be substantial. We will provide information regarding material federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any original issue discount securities in the applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, we will describe in the prospectus supplement any special U.S. federal income tax considerations and any other special considerations for any debt securities we sell that are denominated in a currency or currency unit other than U.S. currency.

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities will be payable, and the transfer of debt securities will be registrable, at any office or agency maintained by us for that purpose. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, redemption or repayment of the debt securities, but we may require you to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange.

We will describe the specific terms of the series of debt securities being offered in a prospectus supplement. These terms will include some or all of the following:

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the debt securities offered by this prospectus will:

A substantial portion of our assets are owned through our subsidiaries, and we depend on distributions of cash flow and earnings from our subsidiaries in order to meet our payment obligations under the debt securities and our other debt obligations. Many of our subsidiaries have significant debt or other liabilities of their own which will be structurally senior to the debt securities. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, none of our subsidiaries will guarantee or have any obligations with respect to the debt securities. Therefore, our rights and the rights of our creditors, including holders of debt securities, to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon any such subsidiary’s liquidation may be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s other creditors.

Subject to compliance with the applicable requirements set forth in the indenture, we may discharge our obligations under the indenture with respect to our debt securities as described below under “— Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.”

Each prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any guarantees of debt securities for the benefit of the series of debt securities to which it relates. Debt securities issued by us may be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ferguson UK Holdings Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, and a subsidiary registrant under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The indenture defines an “event of default” with respect to any series of debt securities. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, each of the following will be an event of default under the indenture for any series of debt securities:

Additional or different events of default applicable to a series of debt securities may be described in a prospectus supplement. An event of default under one series of debt securities does not necessarily constitute an event of default under any other series of debt securities. The indenture provides that, within 90 days after the occurrence of any default with respect to a series of debt securities that a responsible officer of the trustee has received written notice of, the trustee will send to all holders of debt securities of that series notice of the default, unless the default has been cured or waived. However, the indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice of a default with respect to a series of debt securities, except a default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, if the trustee in good faith determines that doing so is in the interest of the holders of the debt securities of the applicable series. In the case of a default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty in the indenture or in respect of a series of debt securities, no notice will be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence of the default or breach. As used in this paragraph, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an event of default with respect to a series of debt securities.

The indenture provides that if an event of default, other than an event of default relating to events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to a series of debt securities occurs and is continuing, either the trustee or the holders of no fewer than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may declare the principal of, or such lesser amount as may be provided for with respect to debt securities of that series, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to us (or to the trustee if given by the holders), and upon any such declaration, such principal or such lesser amount, as the case may be, and such accrued and unpaid interest will become immediately due and payable. The indenture also provides that if an event of default relating to events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to a series of debt securities occurs then the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the debt securities of that series will automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of the debt securities. However, upon specified conditions, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series may rescind and annul an acceleration of the debt securities of that series and its consequences.

Any time period in the indenture to cure any actual or alleged default or event of default may be extended or stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act requiring the trustee, during the continuance of an event of default under the indenture, to act with the requisite standard of care, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of debt securities unless those holders have offered, and if requested, provided to the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by taking such action.

Subject to this requirement, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee under the indenture with respect to the debt securities of that series.

The indenture requires, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date of the indenture, delivery to the trustee of a certificate signed by one of our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer that states whether or not, to the best of his or her knowledge, we are in default under any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the indenture, and if we shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which he or she may have knowledge.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the indenture, the holder of a debt security will have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on that debt security on the respective due dates for those payments and to institute suit for the enforcement of those payments, and this right will not be impaired without the consent of the holder.

The indenture permits us and the trustee, with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series affected by a modification or amendment, to modify or

amend any of the provisions of the indenture or of the debt securities or the rights of the holders of the debt securities under the indenture. However, no modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected by the modification or amendment, among other things:

The indenture also contains provisions permitting us and the trustee, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities, to modify or amend the indenture, among other things:

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may waive our compliance with some of the restrictive provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may, on behalf of all holders of debt securities, waive any past default under the indenture with respect to the debt securities and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the debt securities or a default in respect of a covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security.

Upon our direction, the indenture will cease to be of further effect with respect to any debt security specified, subject to the survival of specified provisions of the indenture, when:

We may elect with respect to the debt securities issued under the indenture either:

The defeasance or covenant defeasance described above will only be effective if, among other things:

In the event covenant defeasance is effected with respect to the debt securities and those debt securities are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any event of default other than an event of default with respect to the covenants as to which covenant defeasance has been effected, which would no longer be applicable to the debt securities after covenant defeasance, the amount of monies and/or government obligations deposited with the trustee to effect covenant defeasance may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities at the time of any acceleration resulting from that event of default. However, we would remain liable to make payment of those amounts due at the time of acceleration.

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global notes that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC, as the depositary, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC’s nominee, or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.

We have appointed The Bank of New York Mellon to act as the security registrar and paying agent and to act as depositary custodian with respect to the global notes. We have authorized our agents and The Bank of New York Mellon to act in accordance with a letter of representations entered into with the depositary.

The indenture, the debt securities and any related guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

The Bank of New York Mellon, or any successor thereto, will serve as trustee under the indenture.

The trustee may engage in transactions, including commercial banking and other transactions, with us and our subsidiaries from time to time. However, if the trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict upon the occurrence of an event of default, or else resign.

We may offer and sell the securities in one or more transactions from time to time through one or more of the following methods:

A prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of any securities may include the following information:

We may offer and sell any securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by a managing underwriter or managing underwriters or through an underwriter or underwriters without an underwriting syndicate. If underwriters are used for the sale of any securities, such securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account. The underwriters may resell any securities in one or more transactions, including in negotiated transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. In connection with any such underwritten sale of securities, underwriters may receive compensation from us or from purchasers for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell any securities to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents.

If we use an underwriter or underwriters in the sale of securities, we will execute an underwriting agreement with those underwriters at the time of sale of the securities. The names of the underwriters will be set forth in the prospectus supplement used by the underwriters to sell the securities. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of securities, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to customary conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if any of the securities are purchased.

Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of any securities may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act. Any discounts or commissions that they receive from us and any profit that they receive on the resale of our securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If any entity is deemed an underwriter or any amounts deemed underwriting discounts and commissions, the prospectus supplement will identify the underwriter or agent and describe the compensation received from us.

We may enter agreements under which underwriters and agents that participate in the distribution of any securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against various liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribution with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make.

Various of the underwriters who participate in the distribution of any securities, and their affiliates, may perform various commercial banking and investment banking services for us from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

We may authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by institutions to purchase any securities from us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. These institutions may include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all cases we must approve these institutions. The obligations of any purchaser under any of these contracts will be subject to the condition that the purchase of any securities will not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of these contracts.

If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, until the distribution of any securities is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of any underwriters to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, representatives of any underwriters are permitted to engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. If the underwriters create a short position in the securities in connection with the offering (that is, if they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the prospectus supplement) the representatives of the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing the securities in the open market.

We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the securities. In addition, we make no representation that the representatives of any underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

The validity of the debt securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Kirkland & Ellis LLP, New York, New York. Certain legal matters with respect to English law relating to the validity of the guarantees offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Kirkland & Ellis International LLP. If any legal matters relating to offerings made in connection with this prospectus are passed upon by counsel for the underwriters, dealers or agents, that counsel will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering.
