These ratings have been provided by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.


Trade Date:

October 3, 2019

 

Settlement Date:

October 10, 2019 (T+5)

 

  We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made to investors on or about October 10, 2019, which will be the fifth business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before delivery of the Notes hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes will initially settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before the date of delivery should consult their advisors.

If the Issuer becomes obligated to pay any additional amounts as a result of any change in the law of Ireland or certain other relevant taxing jurisdictions that is announced or becomes effective on or after the date on which the Notes are issued (or the date the relevant taxing jurisdiction became applicable, if later), the Issuer may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole but not in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest for the then-current Interest Period to, but excluding, such redemption date and additional amounts, if any.

The Issuer may, in its sole discretion, elect to forgo payment of interest on the Notes for any Interest Period.

Restrictions Following a Forgoing of Interest:

In the event that any interest is not paid in full for any Interest Period, the Issuer will not, subject to certain exceptions:

 

  (i) declare or pay any distribution, dividend or comparable payment in respect of any Parity Claims or Junior Claims until an interest payment on the Notes for a subsequent Interest Period is paid in full; or
