Equity Linked Securities (ELKS(SM)) based upon
the Common Stock of American Express Company due [ ], 2003
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Holdings Inc., a New York corporation (hereinafter
referred to as the "Company", which term includes any successor corporation
under the Indenture herein referred to), for value received and on condition
that this Note is not redeemed by the Company prior to [ ], 2003 (the
"Stated Maturity Date"), hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or its registered
assigns, the Maturity Payment (as defined below), on the Stated Maturity Date.
This Note will bear semi-annual payments of interest, is not subject to any
sinking fund, is not subject to redemption at the option of the Holder thereof
prior to the Stated Maturity Date, and is not subject to the defeasance
provisions of the Indenture.
Payment of the Maturity Payment with respect to this Note shall be made
upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the corporate trust office of
the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York, in such
coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender
for payment of public and private debts or, if applicable, in the common stock
of American Express Company ("American Express").
This Note is one of the series of Equity Linked Securities based upon
the common stock of American Express Company due [ ], 2003 (the "ELKS").
COUPON
A coupon of $[ ] per ELKS will be paid in cash on [ ], 2003 and a
coupon of $[ ] per ELKS will be paid in cash on [ ], 2003. The [ ], 2003 coupon
will be composed of $[ ] of interest and a partial payment of an option premium
in the amount of $[ ]. The [ ], 2003 coupon will be composed of $[ ] of interest
and a partial payment of an option premium in the amount of $[ ]. Coupon
payments will be payable to the persons in whose names the ELKS are registered
at the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Interest Payment
Date. If an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the
coupon payment to be made on such Interest Payment Date will be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such
Interest Payment Date, and no additional interest will accrue as a result of
such delayed payment.
"Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a day
on which the AMEX or banking institutions or trust companies in the City of New
York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
The interest portion of the coupon will represent interest accruing at
a rate of [ ]% per annum from [ ], 2002 or from the most recent Interest Payment
Date to which the interest portion of the coupon has been paid or provided for
until maturity. The interest portion of the coupon will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
PAYMENT AT MATURITY
On the Stated Maturity Date, Holders of the ELKS will receive for each
ELKS the Maturity Payment described below.
DETERMINATION OF THE MATURITY PAYMENT
The Maturity Payment for each ELKS equals either:
- a number of shares of American Express common stock equal to
the Exchange Rate, if the Trading Price of American Express
common stock on any Trading Day after [ ], 2002 up to and
including the third Trading Day before the Stated Maturity
Date (whether intra-day or at the close of trading on any day)
is less than or equal to $[ ] (approximately 75% of the
initial share price), or
- $10 in cash.
In lieu of any fractional share of American Express common stock
otherwise payable in respect of any ELKS, at the Stated Maturity Date, the
Holder of this Note will receive an amount in cash equal to the value of such
fractional share. The number of full shares of American Express common stock,
and any cash in lieu of a fractional share, to be delivered at the Stated
Maturity Date to the Holder of this Note will be calculated based on the
aggregate number of ELKS held by such Holder.
2
The "Initial Share Price" will equal $[ ], the price per share of
American Express common stock at the market close on [ ], 2002.
The "Exchange Rate" will equal [ ].
A "Market Disruption Event" means the occurrence or existence of any
suspension of or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price
exceeding limits permitted by any exchange or market or otherwise) of, or the
unavailability, through a recognized system of public dissemination of
transaction information, of accurate price, volume or related information in
respect of, (1) the shares of American Express common stock on any exchange or
market, or (2) any options contracts or futures contracts relating to the shares
of American Express common stock, or any options on such futures contracts, on
any exchange or market if, in each case, in the determination of the calculation
agent, any such suspension, limitation or unavailability is material.
A "Trading Day" means a day, as determined by the calculation agent, on
which trading is generally conducted (or was scheduled to have been generally
conducted, but for the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event) on the New York
Stock Exchange, the AMEX, the Nasdaq National Market, the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange and the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and in the over-the-counter
market for equity securities in the United States.
The "Trading Price" of American Express common stock (or any other
common stock for which a Trading Price must be determined) on any date of
determination will be (1) if the common stock is listed on a national securities
exchange on that date of determination, any reported sale price, regular way, of
the principal trading session on that date on the principal U.S. exchange on
which the common stock is listed or admitted to trading, (2) if the common stock
is not listed on a national securities exchange on that date of determination,
or if the reported sale price on such exchange is not obtainable (even if the
common stock is listed or admitted to trading on such exchange), and the common
stock is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, any reported sale price of the
principal trading session on that date as reported on the Nasdaq, and (3) if the
common stock is not quoted on the Nasdaq on that date of determination, or if
the reported sale price on the Nasdaq is not obtainable (even if the common
stock is quoted on the Nasdaq), any reported sale price of the principal trading
session on the over-the-counter market on that date as reported on the OTC
Bulletin Board, the National Quotation Bureau or a similar organization. The
determination of the Trading Price by the calculation agent in the event of a
Market Disruption Event may be deferred by the calculation agent for up to five
consecutive Trading Days on which a Market Disruption Event is occurring. If no
reported sale price of the principal trading session is available pursuant to
clauses (1), (2) or (3) above or if there is a Market Disruption Event, the
Trading Price on any date of determination, unless deferred by the calculation
agent as described in the preceding sentence, will be the arithmetic mean, as
determined by the calculation agent, of the bid prices of the common stock
obtained from as many dealers in such stock (which may include Xxxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxxx Inc. or any of our other subsidiaries or affiliates), but not exceeding
three such dealers, as will make such bid prices available to the calculation
agent. A security "quoted on the Nasdaq National Market" will include a security
included for listing or quotation in any successor to such system and the term
"OTC Bulletin Board" will include any successor to such service.

DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS
If American Express, after the closing date of the offering of the
ELKS,
(1) pays a stock dividend or makes a distribution with respect to
its common stock in shares of the stock,
(2) subdivides or splits the outstanding shares of its common
stock into a greater number of shares,
(3) combines the outstanding shares of the common stock into a
smaller number of shares, or
(4) issues by reclassification of shares of its common stock any
shares of other common stock of American Express,
then, in each of these cases, the Exchange Rate will be multiplied by a dilution
adjustment equal to a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of
shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the event, plus, in the
case of a reclassification referred to in (4) above, the number of shares of
other common stock of American Express, and the denominator of which will be the
number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately before the event. The
Initial Share Price will also be adjusted in that case in the manner described
below.
If American Express, after the closing date, issues, or declares a
record date in respect of an issuance of, rights or warrants to all holders of
its common stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of its
common stock at a price per share less than the Then-Current Market Price of the
common stock, other than rights to purchase common stock pursuant to a plan for
the reinvestment of dividends or interest, then, in each of these cases, the
Exchange Rate will be multiplied by a dilution adjustment equal to a fraction,
the numerator of which will be the number of shares of common stock outstanding
immediately before the adjustment is effected, plus the number of additional
shares of common stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to the
rights or warrants, and the denominator of which will be the number of shares of
common stock outstanding immediately before the adjustment is effected by reason
of the issuance of the rights or warrants, plus the number of additional shares
of common stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares
of common stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to the rights or
warrants would purchase at the Then-Current Market Price of the common stock,
which will be determined by multiplying the total number of shares so offered
for subscription or purchase by the exercise price of the rights or warrants and
dividing the product obtained by the Then-Current Market Price. To the extent
that, after the expiration of the rights or warrants, the shares of common stock
offered thereby have not been delivered, the Exchange Rate will be further
adjusted to equal the Exchange Rate which would have been in effect had the
adjustment for the issuance of the rights or warrants been made upon the basis
of delivery of only the number of shares of common stock actually delivered. The
Initial Share Price will also be adjusted in that case in the manner described
below.
4
If American Express, after the closing date, declares or pays a
dividend or makes a distribution to all holders of the common stock of any class
of its capital stock, the capital stock of one or more of its subsidiaries,
evidences of its indebtedness or other non-cash assets, excluding any dividends
or distributions referred to in the above paragraph, or issues to all holders of
its common stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its or
one or more of its subsidiaries' securities, other than rights or warrants
referred to in the above paragraph, then, in each of these cases, the Exchange
Rate will be multiplied by a dilution adjustment equal to a fraction, the
numerator of which will be the Then-Current Market Price of one share of the
common stock, and the denominator of which will be the Then-Current Market Price
of one share of the common stock, less the fair market value (as determined by a
nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this
purpose by the Company, whose determination will be final) as of the time the
adjustment is effected of the portion of the capital stock, assets, evidences of
indebtedness, rights or warrants so distributed or issued applicable to one
share of common stock. The Initial Share Price will also be adjusted in that
case in the manner described below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, with respect to any
dividend or distribution to which the above paragraph would otherwise apply, the
denominator in the fraction referred to in the above formula is less than $1.00
or is a negative number, then the Company may, at its option, elect to have the
adjustment provided by the above paragraph not be made and in lieu of this
adjustment, the Trading Price of American Express common stock on any Trading
Day thereafter up to and including the third Trading Day before maturity will be
deemed to be equal to the fair market value of the capital stock, evidences of
indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants (determined, as of the date the
dilution adjustment would otherwise be effected as described below, by a
nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this
purpose by the Company, whose determination will be final) so distributed or
issued applicable to one share of American Express common stock and, if the
Trading Price of American Express common stock on any Trading Day thereafter up
to and including the third Trading Day before maturity is less than or equal to
approximately 75% of the Initial Share Price, each holder of the ELKS will have
the right to receive at maturity cash in an amount per ELKS equal to the
Exchange Rate multiplied by such fair market value.
If American Express, after the closing date, declares a record date in
respect of a distribution of cash, other than any Permitted Dividends described
below, any cash distributed in consideration of fractional shares of common
stock and any cash distributed in a Reorganization Event referred to below, by
dividend or otherwise, to all holders of its common stock, or makes an Excess
Purchase Payment, then the Exchange Rate will be multiplied by a dilution
adjustment equal to a fraction, the numerator of which will be the Then-Current
Market Price of the common stock, and the denominator of which will be the
Then-Current Market Price of the common stock on the record date less the amount
of the distribution applicable to one share of common stock which would not be a
Permitted Dividend, or, in the case of an Excess Purchase Payment, less the
aggregate amount of the Excess Purchase Payment for which adjustment is being
made at the time divided by the number of shares of American Express common
stock outstanding on the record date. The Initial Share Price will also be
adjusted in that case in the manner described below.
5
For the purposes of these adjustments:
A "Permitted Dividend" is any quarterly cash dividend in respect of
American Express common stock, other than a quarterly cash dividend that exceeds
the immediately preceding quarterly cash dividend, and then only to the extent
that the per share amount of this dividend results in an annualized dividend
yield on the common stock in excess of 10%.
An "Excess Purchase Payment" is the excess, if any, of (x) the cash and
the value (as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment
banking firm retained for this purpose by the Company, whose determination will
be final) of all other consideration paid by American Express with respect to
one share of common stock acquired in a tender offer or exchange offer by
American Express, over (y) the Then-Current Market Price of the common stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, with respect to any
dividend or distribution or Excess Purchase Payment to which the fifth paragraph
in this section would otherwise apply, the denominator in the fraction referred
to in the formula in that paragraph is less than $1.00 or is a negative number,
then the Company may, at its option, elect to have the adjustment provided by
the fifth paragraph in this section not be made and in lieu of this adjustment,
the Trading Price of American Express common stock on any Trading Day thereafter
up to and including the third Trading Day before maturity will be deemed to be
equal to the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of other
consideration (determined, as of the date the dilution adjustment would
otherwise be effected as described below, by a nationally recognized independent
investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Company, whose
determination will be final) so distributed or applied to the acquisition of the
common stock in the tender offer or exchange offer applicable to one share of
American Express common stock and, if the Trading Price of American Express
common stock on any Trading Day thereafter up to and including the third Trading
Day before maturity is less than or equal to approximately 75% of the Initial
Share Price, each holder of the ELKS will have the right to receive at maturity
cash in an amount per ELKS equal to the Exchange Rate multiplied by such sum.
If any adjustment is made to the Exchange Rate as set forth above, an
adjustment will also be made to the Initial Share Price. The required adjustment
will be made by dividing the Initial Share Price by the relevant dilution
adjustment. If, during any period of ten Trading Days used to calculate the
Then-Current Market Price, there occurs any event requiring an adjustment to be
effected as described herein, then the Closing Price for each Trading Day in
such period of ten Trading Days occurring prior to the day on which such
adjustment is effected will be adjusted by being divided by the relevant
dilution adjustment.
Each dilution adjustment will be effected as follows:
- in the case of any dividend, distribution or issuance, at the
opening of business on the Business Day next following the
record date for determination of holders of American Express
common stock entitled to receive this dividend, distribution
or issuance or, if the announcement of this dividend,
distribution, or issuance is after
6
this record date, at the time this dividend, distribution or
issuance was announced by American Express,
- in the case of any subdivision, split, combination or
reclassification, on the effective date of the transaction,
- in the case of any Excess Purchase Payment for which American
Express announces, at or prior to the time it commences the
relevant share repurchase, the repurchase price per share for
shares proposed to be repurchased, on the date of the
announcement, and
- in the case of any other Excess Purchase Payment, on the date
that the holders of the repurchased shares become entitled to
payment in respect thereof.
All dilution adjustments will be rounded upward or downward to the
nearest 1/10,000th or, if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th, to the next lower
1/10,000th. No adjustment in the Exchange Rate will be required unless the
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent
therein, provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this
sentence are not required to be made will be carried forward (on a percentage
basis) and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. If any announcement
or declaration of a record date in respect of a dividend, distribution, issuance
or repurchase requiring an adjustment as described herein is subsequently
canceled by American Express, or this dividend, distribution, issuance or
repurchase fails to receive requisite approvals or fails to occur for any other
reason, then, upon the cancellation, failure of approval or failure to occur,
the Exchange Rate will be further adjusted to the Exchange Rate which would then
have been in effect had adjustment for the event not been made. If a
Reorganization Event described below occurs after the occurrence of one or more
events requiring an adjustment as described herein, the dilution adjustments
previously applied to the Exchange Rate will not be rescinded but will be
applied to the new Exchange Rate provided for below.
The "Then-Current Market Price" of the common stock, for the purpose of
applying any dilution adjustment, means the average Closing Price per share of
common stock for the 10 Trading Days immediately before this adjustment is
effected or, in the case of an adjustment effected at the opening of business on
the Business Day next following a record date, immediately before the earlier of
the date the adjustment is effected and the related Ex-Date. For purposes of
determining the Then-Current Market Price, the determination of the Closing
Price by the calculation agent in the event of a Market Disruption Event, as
described in the definition of Closing Price, may be deferred by the calculation
agent for up to five consecutive Trading Days on which a Market Disruption Event
is occurring.
The "Closing Price" of American Express common stock (or any other
security for which a Closing Price must be determined) on any date of
determination will be (1) if the common stock is listed on a national securities
exchange on that date of determination, the closing sale price or, if no closing
sale price is reported, the last reported sale price on that date on the
principal U.S. exchange on which the common stock is listed or admitted to
trading, (2) if the common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange
on that date of determination, or if
7
the closing sale price or last reported sale price is not obtainable (even if
the common stock is listed or admitted to trading on such exchange), and the
common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the closing sale price or,
if no closing sale price is reported, the last reported sale price on that date
as reported on the Nasdaq, and (3) if the common stock is not quoted on the
Nasdaq on that date of determination or, if the closing sale price or last
reported sale price is not obtainable (even if the common stock is quoted on the
Nasdaq), the last quoted bid price for the common stock in the over-the-counter
market on that date as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, the National
Quotation Bureau or a similar organization. If no closing sale price or last
reported sale price is available pursuant to clauses (1), (2) or (3) of the
preceding sentence or if there is a Market Disruption Event, the Closing Price
on any date of determination will be the arithmetic mean, as determined by the
calculation agent, of the bid prices of the common stock obtained from as many
dealers in such stock (which may include Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Inc. or any of our
other subsidiaries or affiliates), but not exceeding three such dealers, as will
make such bid prices available to the calculation agent. A security "quoted on
the Nasdaq National Market" will include a security included for listing or
quotation in any successor to such system and the term "OTC Bulletin Board" will
include any successor to such service.
The "Ex-Date" with respect to any dividend, distribution or issuance is
the first date on which the shares of the common stock trade in the regular way
on their principal market without the right to receive this dividend,
distribution or issuance.
In the event of any of the following "Reorganization Events":
- any consolidation or merger of American Express, or any
surviving entity or subsequent surviving entity of American
Express, with or into another entity, other than a merger or
consolidation in which American Express is the continuing
corporation and in which the common stock outstanding
immediately before the merger or consolidation is not
exchanged for cash, securities or other property of American
Express or another issuer,
- any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another corporation
of the property of American Express or any successor as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety,
- any statutory exchange of securities of American Express or
any successor of American Express with another issuer, other
than in connection with a merger or acquisition, or
- any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of American Express
or any successor of American Express,
the Trading Price of American Express common stock on any Trading Day thereafter
up to and including the third Trading Day before maturity will be deemed to be
equal to the Transaction Value.
The "Transaction Value" will be the sum of:
8
(1) for any cash received in a Reorganization Event, the amount of
cash received per share of common stock,
(2) for any property other than cash or Marketable Securities
received in a Reorganization Event, an amount equal to the
market value on the date the Reorganization Event is
consummated of that property received per share of common
stock, as determined by a nationally recognized independent
investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the
Company, whose determination will be final, and
(3) for any Marketable Securities received in a Reorganization
Event, an amount equal to the Closing Price per share of these
Marketable Securities on the applicable Trading Day multiplied
by the number of these Marketable Securities received for each
share of common stock.
"Marketable Securities" are any perpetual equity securities or debt
securities with a stated maturity after the maturity date, in each case that are
listed on a U.S. national securities exchange or reported by the Nasdaq Stock
Market. The number of shares of any equity securities constituting Marketable
Securities included in the calculation of Transaction Value pursuant to clause
(3) above will be adjusted if any event occurs with respect to the Marketable
Securities or the issuer of the Marketable Securities between the time of the
Reorganization Event and maturity that would have required an adjustment as
described above, had it occurred with respect to the American Express common
stock or American Express. Adjustment for these subsequent events will be as
nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments described above.
If American Express common stock has been subject to a Reorganization
Event and the Trading Price of American Express common stock on any Trading Day
up to and including the third Trading Day before maturity is less than or equal
to approximately 75% of the Initial Share Price, then each holder of the ELKS
will have the right to receive per $10 principal amount of ELKS (i) cash in an
amount equal to the Exchange Rate multiplied by the sum of clauses (1) and (2)
in the definition of "Transaction Value" above and (ii) the number of Marketable
Securities received for each share of stock in the Reorganization Event
multiplied by the Exchange Rate.
GENERAL
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Debt Securities of the
Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt
Indenture, dated as of October 27, 1993, as supplemented by a First Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of November 28, 1997, a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated
as of July 1, 1999, and as further supplemented from time to time (the
"Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders of the ELKS, and the terms upon which the ELKS are,
and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
9
If an Event of Default with respect to the ELKS shall have occurred and
be continuing, the principal of the ELKS may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. In such case, the amount
declared due and payable upon any acceleration permitted by the Indenture will
be determined by the calculation agent and will be equal to, with respect to
this Note, the Maturity Payment calculated as though the Stated Maturity Date of
this Note were the date of early repayment. In case of default at Maturity of
this Note, this Note shall bear interest, payable upon demand of the beneficial
owners of this Note in accordance with the terms of the ELKS, from and after
Maturity through the date when payment of such amount has been made or duly
provided for, at the rate of 3.00% per annum on the unpaid amount (or the cash
equivalent of such unpaid amount) due.
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 Debt Securities of each series to
be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding of
each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of
all Debt Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with
certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. 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 registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
The Holder of this Note may not enforce such Xxxxxx's rights pursuant
to the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. 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 to pay the Maturity Payment with
respect to this Note, and to pay any interest on any overdue amount thereof at
the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture but not
in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes.
