AMPHENOL TECHNOLOGIES HOLDING GMBH
2.000% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2028
(1) Interest. Amphenol Technologies Holding GmbH, a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) incorporated under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (the “Company”), for value received, promises to pay, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 2.000% per annum. Interest on the 2.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including October 8, 2018 to but excluding the date on which interest is paid. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each October 8, beginning on October 8, 2019. Interest on the Notes shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid (or October 8, 2018, if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the Notes.
(2) Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest to those persons who were holders of record at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. If any Interest Payment Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue because of such delayed payment.
(3) Paying Agent, Registrar and Common Service Provider. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”), will act as a Registrar and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, will act as a Paying Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, will act as Common Service Provider.
(4) Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of October 8, 2018 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee. This is one of an issue of Notes of the Company issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of them. Capitalized and certain other terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
(5) Optional Redemption. At any time and from time to time prior to the date that is three months prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a 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 of the Notes being redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)), at a rate equal to the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 25 basis points,
plus, in each case, unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
On or after the date that is three months prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes, the Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part, from time to time, at the option of the Company, upon at least 30 days’ but no more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
If the Redemption Date is on or after an Interest Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such Interest Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.
If (a) a Payor becomes or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any Notes pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Indenture, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Relevant Jurisdiction, or any change in the official interpretation or application of the laws or regulations of a Relevant Jurisdiction, which change or amendment becomes effective after October 2, 2018 (or, if the applicable Relevant Jurisdiction became a Relevant Jurisdiction after October 2, 2018, such later date), and (b) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures available to the Company, the Company may at its option, having given not less than 30 days’ notice to the Holders of the Notes (which notice shall be irrevocable), redeem all, but not a portion of, the Notes in accordance with Section 3.8 of the Indenture.
(6) Redemption Procedures. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the Notes at any time, in the case of Notes issued in definitive form, the Trustee will select Notes by lot on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, the Notes will be selected in accordance with the applicable procedures of the relevant depositary (or in the case of a Note issued in the form of a Global Note under the New Safekeeping Structure, the applicable procedures of the Common Safekeeper)) unless an alternative method of selection is otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements. The Company will redeem Notes of €100,000 or less in whole and not in part. For all purposes of the Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, provisions of the Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.
(7) Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be transmitted at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be redeemed.
(8) Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer Notes in accordance with the Indenture.
(9) Persons Deemed Owners. The ICSDs or any Common Safekeeper or their respective nominees will be treated by the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.
(10) Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its request or, if such
money is then held by the Company for the benefit of the Holders, such money shall be released from such trust. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.
(11) Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee may modify or amend the Indenture without the consent of any Holder to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture and to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of the Notes in any material respect. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Notes may be made by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of each of the Holders of the Notes to be affected.
(12) Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or any part (in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture, except that the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Indenture in the event that the Company has exercised the right to redeem all of the Notes as described in Section 3.7 of the Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer to purchase all of the Notes at a purchase price in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).
(13) Successor Entity. When a successor entity assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes, the Guarantee and the Indenture, and the transaction complies with the terms of Article V of the Indenture, the predecessor entity will, except as provided in Article V, be released from those obligations.
(14) Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.1(f) and 6.1(g) of the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes may declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount of all Notes then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of acceleration. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.1(f) and 6.1(g) of the Indenture shall occur, such amount with respect to all the Notes shall become automatically due and payable immediately without any further action or notice. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.
(15) Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, the Guarantor, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor thereof with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
(16) No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Company, the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor’s Subsidiaries (including the Company) shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantee or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
(17) Discharge. All payments due shall be made to the Holder of this Global Note. The Company’s and the Guarantor’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment or cancellation of all the Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Paying Agent of cash in euro or German Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest) to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness (including all principal and accrued interest) on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company shall cause the details of any redemption, payment, purchase or cancellation to be entered in the records of the ICSDs.
(18) Guarantees. The Company’s obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, by the Guarantor.
(19) Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note (and, in the case of a Note issued in the form of a Global Note under the New Safekeeping Structure, until such Global Note is effectuated by the Common Safekeeper by a manual or facsimile signature of an authorized signatory thereof).
(20) Effectuation. This Note shall not be valid for any purposes until it has been effectuated for or on behalf of the Common Safekeeper.
(21) Governing Law. THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
