Attention: Fixed Income Syndicate

The respective principal amounts of the Debt Securities to be severally purchased by each of the Underwriters are set forth opposite their names in Schedule A hereto.

In connection with the issue of the Notes, Barclays Bank PLC, as stabilizing manager (the “Stabilizing Manager”) (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager), may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilizing Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager) will undertake stabilization action. Any

stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 calendar days after the date on which the Company received the proceeds of the issue and 60 calendar days after the date of the allotment of the Notes. Such stabilization shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and rules. Any loss or profit sustained as a consequence of any such over-allotment or stabilization shall be for the account of the Stabilizing Manager. The Underwriters acknowledge that the Company has not authorized the creation and issue of Notes in excess of €2,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.

Except as set forth below, the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and the following provisions are hereby added thereto and made a part thereof:

This Section 2(aa) is only sought and given if and to the extent that it does not result in a violation of Council Regulation (EC) 2271/96 and/or any associated and applicable national law, instrument or regulation related thereto.”

3.    Subsection (c) of Section 3 of the Underwriting Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

“Relevant Resolution Authority” means the resolution authority with the ability to exercise any Bail-in Powers in relation to the Underwriters.

(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent an Underwriter’s obligation to purchase Securities hereunder constitutes a BRRD Liability and such Underwriter does not, on the Closing Date, purchase the full amount of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder due to the exercise by the Relevant Resolution Authority of its powers under the relevant Bail-in Legislation with respect to such BRRD Liability, such Underwriter shall be deemed, for all purposes of Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement, to have defaulted on its obligation to purchase such Notes that

 

10


it has agreed to purchase hereunder but has not purchased, and Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the obligations of the other Underwriters.

(a)    each of the Underwriters who is acting as a MiFID manufacturer (each a “Manufacturer” and together the “Manufacturers”) acknowledges to each other Manufacturer that it understands the responsibilities conferred upon it under the Product Governance Rules relating to each of the product approval process, the target market and the proposed distribution channels as applying to the Notes and the related information set out in the term sheet and any announcements in connection with the Notes; and

(b)    the Company and each of the Underwriters who is acting as a MiFID distributor notes the application of the Product Governance Rules and acknowledge the target market and distribution channels identified as applying to the Notes by the Manufacturers and the related information set out in the term sheet and any announcements in connection with the Notes; and

(c)    the Manufacturers target market is eligible counterparties and professional clients only (all distribution channels). Each of the Manufacturers, the Company and each of the Underwriters who is acting as a MiFID distributor acknowledges that the Notes are not being offered to retail investors in the European Economic Area and therefore no packaged retail investment and insurance-based products (“PRIIPS”) key information document has been prepared as the Notes are not available to retail investors in the European Economic Area.

The Closing will take place at 4:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 1, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP (as successor to Hunton & Williams LLP), 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166.

The Notes will be made available for checking at the offices of Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166 (unless another location shall be agreed to by the Company and the Underwriters) at least 24 hours prior to the Closing Date.

(Reverse of Note)

PHILIP MORRIS INTERNATIONAL INC.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, which series is issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of €500,000,000, all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of April 25, 2008 between the Company and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as 0.125% Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”).

Principal and interest payments in respect of the Notes are payable by the Company in Euro. If, however, the Euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the Euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in Dollars until the Euro is again available to the Company or so used. The equivalent Dollar amount of the amount payable on any date in Euro will be calculated by the Currency Determination Agent designated by the Company at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Euro/Dollar exchange rate available on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date, as determined by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion.

So long as the Notes of this series are in the form of Global Securities only, all Notes of this series will collectively be evidenced by the Global Security of this series registered in the name of HSBC Issuer Services Common Depositary Nominee (UK) Limited (the “Global Note”).

Section 1010 of the Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes, except that (i) the term “Holder,” when used in Section 1010 of the Indenture, shall mean the beneficial owner of a Note or any person holding on behalf or for the account of the beneficial owner of a Note; (ii) the following language shall replace subsection (k) to Section 1010 of the Indenture “any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code” and (iii) the following language shall be included as subsection (l) to


Section 1010 of the Indenture “any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k).”

Prior to May 3, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date for the Notes), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in €1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes were due on May 3, 2026 (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis (Actual/Actual (ICMA)), at a rate equal to the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

On or after May 3, 2026 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date for the Notes), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in €1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such business day of the Reference Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Reference Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such dealing day as determined by the Independent Investment Bank.

“Independent Investment Bank” means one of the Reference Bond Dealers that the Company appoints as the Independent Investment Bank from time to time.

“Reference Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes, or if the Company or the Independent Investment Bank considers that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as the Company or the Independent Investment Bank, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Company or the Independent Investment Bank, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

“Reference Bond Dealer” means (A) each of Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, J.P. Morgan Securities plc and Société Générale or their respective affiliates that are Primary Bond Dealers), and their respective successors and (B) any other broker of, and/or market maker in, German government bonds (a “Primary Bond Dealer”) selected by the Company.


“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Notes to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the relevant Note that would be due after the related redemption date but for the redemption. If that redemption date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to a Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the relevant Note will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the applicable Note to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price on the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the applicable redemption date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the applicable redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after such redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption.

The Company will, or will cause the Trustee or Paying Agent on its behalf to, mail notice of a redemption to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed by first-class mail (or otherwise transmit in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary) at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portions thereof called for redemption. On or before the applicable redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent or set aside, segregate and hold in trust (if the Company is acting as Paying Agent), funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Notes to be redeemed on that redemption date. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee or Paying Agent will select, not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, the particular Notes or any portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Notes not previously called by such method as the Trustee or Paying Agent deems fair and appropriate and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary; provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

The Company may redeem the Notes prior to maturity in whole, but not in part, on not more than 60 days’ notice and not less than 30 days’ notice at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of such Notes plus any accrued interest and additional amounts to the date fixed for redemption if:

 

   

as a result of a change in or amendment to the tax laws, regulations or rulings of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States) that is announced or becomes effective on or after August 1, 2019, the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to the Notes as described in Section 1010 of the Indenture, or

 

   

on or after August 1, 2019, any action is taken by a taxing authority of, or any decision is rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in, the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, including any of those actions specified in the bullet point above, whether or not such action


 

is taken or decision is rendered with respect to the Company, or any change, amendment, application or interpretation is officially proposed, which, in any such case, in the written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing, will result in a material probability that the Company will become obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to the Notes,

and the Company in its business judgment determines that such obligations cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company.

If the Company exercises its option to redeem the Notes for tax reasons, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by an authorized officer stating that it is entitled to redeem the Notes and the written opinion of independent legal counsel if required.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire principal of all the Securities of any series upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 501(4) or 501(5) of the Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding (or, if such default is not applicable to all series of the Securities, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of all series to which it is applicable) (in each case voting as a single class) may declare the entire principal amount of the Securities of all series so affected due and payable in the manner and with effect provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5) occurs with respect to the Company, all of the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable in the manner with the effect provided in the Indenture without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series of Securities affected thereby (voting as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected thereby at the time Outstanding (voting as a single class) to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences to the affected series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.


As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company to be maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at any other office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a like tenor and of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company, the Trustee for the Notes and any agent of the Company or such Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, such Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Certain of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to Notes may be terminated if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes, as provided in the Indenture.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

For purposes of the Notes, the term “Business Day” means any day other than (1) a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the City of New York or the City of London are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close and (2) a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET or TARGET2) system is not open.

Certain terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture have the meanings set forth therein.

PHILIP MORRIS INTERNATIONAL INC.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, which series is issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of €750,000,000, all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of April 25, 2008 between the Company and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as 0.800% Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”).

Principal and interest payments in respect of the Notes are payable by the Company in Euro. If, however, the Euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the Euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in Dollars until the Euro is again available to the Company or so used. The equivalent Dollar amount of the amount payable on any date in Euro will be calculated by the Currency Determination Agent designated by the Company at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Euro/Dollar exchange rate available on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date, as determined by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion.

So long as the Notes of this series are in the form of Global Securities only, all Notes of this series will collectively be evidenced by the Global Security of this series registered in the name of HSBC Issuer Services Common Depositary Nominee (UK) Limited (the “Global Note”).

Section 1010 of the Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes, except that (i) the term “Holder,” when used in Section 1010 of the Indenture, shall mean the beneficial owner of a Note or any person holding on behalf or for the account of the beneficial owner of a Note; (ii) the following language shall replace subsection (k) to Section 1010 of the Indenture “any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code” and (iii) the following language shall be included as subsection (l) to


Section 1010 of the Indenture “any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k).”

Prior to May 1, 2031 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date for the Notes), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in €1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes were due on May 1, 2031 (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis (Actual/Actual (ICMA)), at a rate equal to the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

On or after May 1, 2031 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date for the Notes), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in €1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such business day of the Reference Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Reference Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such dealing day as determined by the Independent Investment Bank.

“Independent Investment Bank” means one of the Reference Bond Dealers that the Company appoints as the Independent Investment Bank from time to time.

“Reference Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes, or if the Company or the Independent Investment Bank considers that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as the Company or the Independent Investment Bank, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Company or the Independent Investment Bank, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

“Reference Bond Dealer” means (A) each of Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, J.P. Morgan Securities plc and Société Générale or their respective affiliates that are Primary Bond Dealers), and their respective successors and (B) any other broker of, and/or market maker in, German government bonds (a “Primary Bond Dealer”) selected by the Company.


“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Notes to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the relevant Note that would be due after the related redemption date but for the redemption. If that redemption date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to a Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the relevant Note will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the applicable Note to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price on the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the applicable redemption date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the applicable redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after such redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption.

The Company will, or will cause the Trustee or Paying Agent on its behalf to, mail notice of a redemption to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed by first-class mail (or otherwise transmit in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary) at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portions thereof called for redemption. On or before the applicable redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent or set aside, segregate and hold in trust (if the Company is acting as Paying Agent), funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Notes to be redeemed on that redemption date. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee or Paying Agent will select, not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, the particular Notes or any portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Notes not previously called by such method as the Trustee or Paying Agent deems fair and appropriate and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary; provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

The Company may redeem the Notes prior to maturity in whole, but not in part, on not more than 60 days’ notice and not less than 30 days’ notice at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of such Notes plus any accrued interest and additional amounts to the date fixed for redemption if:

 

   

as a result of a change in or amendment to the tax laws, regulations or rulings of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States) that is announced or becomes effective on or after August 1, 2019, the Company has or will become obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to the Notes as described in Section 1010 of the Indenture, or

 

   

on or after August 1, 2019, any action is taken by a taxing authority of, or any decision is rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in, the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, including any of those actions specified in the bullet point above, whether or not such action


 

is taken or decision is rendered with respect to the Company, or any change, amendment, application or interpretation is officially proposed, which, in any such case, in the written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing, will result in a material probability that the Company will become obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to the Notes,

and the Company in its business judgment determines that such obligations cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company.

If the Company exercises its option to redeem the Notes for tax reasons, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by an authorized officer stating that it is entitled to redeem the Notes and the written opinion of independent legal counsel if required.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire principal of all the Securities of any series upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 501(4) or 501(5) of the Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding (or, if such default is not applicable to all series of the Securities, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of all series to which it is applicable) (in each case voting as a single class) may declare the entire principal amount of the Securities of all series so affected due and payable in the manner and with effect provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5) occurs with respect to the Company, all of the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable in the manner with the effect provided in the Indenture without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series of Securities affected thereby (voting as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected thereby at the time Outstanding (voting as a single class) to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences to the affected series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.


As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company to be maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at any other office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a like tenor and of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company, the Trustee for the Notes and any agent of the Company or such Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, such Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Certain of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to Notes may be terminated if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes, as provided in the Indenture.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

For purposes of the Notes, the term “Business Day” means any day other than (1) a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the City of New York or the City of London are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close and (2) a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET or TARGET2) system is not open.

As provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as 1.450% Notes due 2039 (the “Notes”).

Principal and interest payments in respect of the Notes are payable by the Company in Euro. If, however, the Euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the Euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in Dollars until the Euro is again available to the Company or so used. The equivalent Dollar amount of the amount payable on any date in Euro will be calculated by the Currency Determination Agent designated by the Company at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Euro/Dollar exchange rate available on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date, as determined by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion.

So long as the Notes of this series are in the form of Global Securities only, all Notes of this series will collectively be evidenced by the Global Security of this series registered in the name of HSBC Issuer Services Common Depositary Nominee (UK) Limited (the “Global Note”).

Prior to May 1, 2039 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date for the Notes), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in €1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes were due on May 1, 2039 (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis (Actual/Actual (ICMA)), at a rate equal to the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

On or after May 1, 2039 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date for the Notes), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (in €1,000 increments, provided that any remaining principal amount thereof shall be at least the minimum authorized denomination thereof) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such business day of the Reference Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Reference Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such dealing day as determined by the Independent Investment Bank.

“Independent Investment Bank” means one of the Reference Bond Dealers that the Company appoints as the Independent Investment Bank from time to time.

“Reference Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes, or if the Company or the Independent Investment Bank considers that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as the Company or the Independent Investment Bank, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Company or the Independent Investment Bank, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

“Reference Bond Dealer” means (A) each of Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, J.P. Morgan Securities plc and Société Générale or their respective affiliates that are Primary Bond Dealers), and their respective successors and (B) any other broker of, and/or market maker in, German government bonds (a “Primary Bond Dealer”) selected by the Company.


“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Notes to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the relevant Note that would be due after the related redemption date but for the redemption. If that redemption date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to a Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the relevant Note will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the applicable Note to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price on the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the applicable redemption date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the applicable redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after such redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption.

The Company will, or will cause the Trustee or Paying Agent on its behalf to, mail notice of a redemption to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed by first-class mail (or otherwise transmit in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary) at least 15 and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.

On or before the applicable redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent or set aside, segregate and hold in trust (if the Company is acting as Paying Agent), funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Notes to be redeemed on that redemption date. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee or Paying Agent will select, not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, the particular Notes or any portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Notes not previously called by such method as the Trustee or Paying Agent deems fair and appropriate and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary; provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of €100,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

The Company may redeem the Notes prior to maturity in whole, but not in part, on not more than 60 days’ notice and not less than 30 days’ notice at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of such Notes plus any accrued interest and additional amounts to the date fixed for redemption if:

on or after August 1, 2019, any action is taken by a taxing authority of, or any decision is rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in, the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, including any of those actions specified in the bullet point above, whether or not such action


 

is taken or decision is rendered with respect to the Company, or any change, amendment, application or interpretation is officially proposed, which, in any such case, in the written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing, will result in a material probability that the Company will become obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to the Notes,

and the Company in its business judgment determines that such obligations cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company.

If the Company exercises its option to redeem the Notes for tax reasons, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by an authorized officer stating that it is entitled to redeem the Notes and the written opinion of independent legal counsel if required.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire principal of all the Securities of any series upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 501(4) or 501(5) of the Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding (or, if such default is not applicable to all series of the Securities, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of all series to which it is applicable) (in each case voting as a single class) may declare the entire principal amount of the Securities of all series so affected due and payable in the manner and with effect provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5) occurs with respect to the Company, all of the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable in the manner with the effect provided in the Indenture without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series of Securities affected thereby (voting as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected thereby at the time Outstanding (voting as a single class) to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences to the affected series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.


As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company to be maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at any other office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a like tenor and of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company, the Trustee for the Notes and any agent of the Company or such Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, such Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Certain of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to Notes may be terminated if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes, as provided in the Indenture.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

For purposes of the Notes, the term “Business Day” means any day other than (1) a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the City of New York or the City of London are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close and (2) a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET or TARGET2) system is not open.

Certain terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture have the meanings set forth therein.

Re: Legality of Securities Issued under Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Philip Morris International Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), in connection with (1) the registration by the Company of an indeterminate amount of its debt securities (the “Debt Securities”) and warrants to purchase Debt Securities, as set forth in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-216046) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company on February 14, 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and (2) the Company’s offering and sale of €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 0.125% Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 0.800% Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.450% Notes due 2039 (the “2039 Notes” and together with the 2026 Notes and the 2031 Notes, the “Notes”).

The Notes were offered and sold as described in the prospectus, dated February 14, 2017, contained in the Registration Statement, and the prospectus supplement thereto, dated July 29, 2019 (collectively, the “Prospectus”). The Notes have been issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of April 25, 2008, among the Company and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee.

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 16 of Form S-3 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.

We have examined originals or reproductions or certified copies of such records of the Company, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion, including, among other things:
