Recent Developments

COVID-19 Pandemic. The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in late 2019 and was later declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted supply chains and created significant volatility in global financial markets in 2020 with various direct and indirect adverse impacts continuing throughout 2021 and into 2022.

S-1

COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, we cannot assure that this will not be the case in the future. Further, it is possible that governmental authorities within jurisdictions in which our business operates may implement vaccination mandates which could impact our workforce and operations. Although we cannot predict the impact of vaccination mandates, any future mandates could result in increased employee attrition, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

The direct adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Aptiv, which primarily affected us in the first half of 2020, included extended work stoppages and travel restrictions at our facilities and those of our customers and suppliers, decreases in consumer demand and vehicle production schedules, disruptions to our supply chain and other adverse global economic impacts, particularly those resulting from temporary governmental “lock-down” orders for all non-essential activities, initially in the first quarter of 2020 in China and subsequently in Europe, North America and South America. During the second half of 2020, many of these impacts abated, resulting in increased sales and profitability from the levels observed earlier in 2020.

During 2020 we took decisive actions to enhance our financial flexibility and minimize the impact on our business, such as the ramping down of certain production facilities in response to customer plant closures and changes in vehicle production schedules, imposing certain travel restrictions, suspending the Company’s ordinary share cash dividend and ordinary share repurchase program, issuing $2.3 billion combined of preferred and ordinary shares, extending substantially all of our existing credit agreement’s maturity to August 2022 (which was further extended in its entirety to 2026 during the second quarter of 2021), and actively managing costs, capital spending and working capital to further strengthen our liquidity.

However, certain direct and indirect adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic persisted throughout 2021 and are expected to continue into 2022, including the worldwide semiconductor supply shortage. As a result, due to the continuing uncertainties surrounding the ultimate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting potential future governmental actions and economic impacts, it is possible that these adverse impacts could reoccur, resulting in further adverse impacts on our future operating earnings and cash flows.

Despite our ongoing efforts to minimize the pandemic’s direct and indirect adverse impacts, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact to our business due to a number of evolving factors, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and our supply chain, consumer demand and vehicle production schedules, and the actions of governmental authorities across the globe. We will continue to actively monitor all direct and indirect potential impacts of COVID-19, and will seek to aggressively mitigate and minimize their impact on our business. See also “Risk Factors—Risks Related to COVID-19.”

Global Supply Chain Disruptions. Due to various factors that are beyond our control, there are currently global supply chain disruptions, including a worldwide semiconductor supply shortage. The semiconductor supply shortage, due in part to increased demand across multiple industries, is impacting production in automotive and other industries. We anticipate these supply chain disruptions will persist throughout 2022. We, along with most automotive component manufacturers that use semiconductors, have been unable to fully meet the vehicle production demands of OEMs because of events which are outside our control, including but not limited to, the COVID-19 pandemic, the global semiconductor shortage, fires in our suppliers’ facilities, unprecedented weather events in the southwestern United States, and other extraordinary events. Although we are working closely with suppliers and customers to minimize any potential adverse impacts of these events, some of our customers have indicated that they expect us to bear at least some responsibility for their lost production and other costs. While no assurances can be made as to the ultimate outcome of these customer expectations or any other future claims, we do not currently believe a loss is probable. We will continue to actively monitor all direct and indirect potential impacts of these supply chain disruptions, and will seek to aggressively mitigate and minimize their impact on our business.

S-2

In addition, we are carrying critical inventory items and key components, and we continue to procure productive, raw material and non-critical inventory components in order to satisfy our customers’ vehicle production schedules. However, as a result of our customers’ recent production volatility and cancellations, our balance of productive, raw and component material inventories has increased substantially from customary levels as of December 31, 2021. We will continue to actively monitor and manage inventory levels across all inventory types in order to maximize both supply continuity and the efficient use of working capital.

Proposed Acquisition of Wind River

In January 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Wind River Systems, Inc. (“Wind River”), a global leader in delivering software for the intelligent edge, for approximately $4.3 billion (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition is expected to close in mid-2022, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. With Aptiv and Wind River’s synergistic technologies and decades of experience delivering safety critical systems, we believe this acquisition will accelerate the journey to a software-defined future of the automotive industry. We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of the cash consideration payable in connection with the Acquisition. If we are not able to consummate the Acquisition on or prior to July 10, 2023, or if prior to such date, the definitive agreement relating to the Acquisition is terminated, we will be required to redeem the 2032 Notes and the 2052 Notes and would then intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of the 2025 Notes for general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.”

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes a pre-tax gain of $1.4 billion for the completion of the Motional autonomous driving joint venture, as further discussed in Note 20. Acquisitions and Divestitures to the audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference herein.

Adjusted operating income represents net income before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expense, equity income (loss), net of tax, restructuring, other acquisition and portfolio project costs (which includes costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and divestitures), asset impairments, gains (losses) on business divestitures and other transactions and deferred compensation related to acquisitions. Adjusted operating income is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s financial performance which management believes is useful to investors in assessing the Company’s ongoing financial performance that, when reconciled to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance and which may obscure underlying business results and trends. Our management utilizes adjusted operating income in its financial decision making process, to evaluate performance of the Company and for internal reporting, planning and

S-8

forecasting purposes. Management also utilizes adjusted operating income as the key performance measure of segment income or loss and for planning and forecasting purposes to allocate resources to our segments, as management also believes this measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our operating segments. Adjusted operating income should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to the Company, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to adjusted operating income that is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted operating income, as determined and measured by the Company, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The reconciliation of adjusted operating income to operating income includes restructuring, other acquisition and portfolio project costs (which includes costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and to plan and execute product portfolio transformation actions, including business and product acquisitions and divestitures), asset impairments, gains (losses) on business divestitures and other transactions and deferred compensation related to acquisitions. The reconciliation of adjusted operating income to net income attributable to the Company is as follows:

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Notes involves risks. You should carefully consider all the information set forth in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein before deciding to invest in the Notes. In particular, we urge you to carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as those under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Risks Related to COVID-19

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including its variants, and measures taken in response thereto impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in late 2019 and was later declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted supply chains and created significant volatility in global financial markets in 2020 with various direct and indirect adverse impacts continuing throughout 2021 and into 2022.

In 2021, the pandemic continued to impact economies and communities throughout the world, including in all of the markets and regions served by Aptiv. Although vaccines have been introduced that are expected to reduce the effect of COVID-19, governmental authorities throughout the world continue to implement numerous measures aimed at containing and mitigating the effects of the pandemic, including renewed travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, social distancing orders, “lock-down” orders and shutdowns of non-essential activities. Although our manufacturing facilities were not impacted by prolonged shutdowns directly resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, we cannot assure that this will not be the case in the future. Further, it is possible that governmental authorities within jurisdictions in which our business operates may implement vaccination mandates which could impact our workforce and operations. Although we cannot predict the impact of vaccination mandates, any future mandates could result in increased employee attrition, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

During 2020 we took decisive actions to enhance our financial flexibility and minimize the impact on our business, such as the ramping down of certain production facilities in response to customer plant closures and changes in vehicle production schedules, imposing certain travel restrictions, suspending the Company’s ordinary share cash dividend and ordinary share repurchase program, issuing $2.3 billion combined of preferred and ordinary shares, extending substantially all of our existing Credit Agreement’s maturity to August 2022 (which was further extended in its entirety to 2026 during the second quarter of 2021), and actively managing costs, capital spending and working capital to further strengthen our liquidity.

S-10

reoccur, resulting in further adverse impacts on our future operating earnings and cash flows. In addition, to the extent the factors indicated above adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, including supply chain disruptions as described below.

Disruptions in the supply of raw materials and other supplies that we and our customers use in our products may adversely affect our profitability.

We and our customers use a broad range of materials and supplies, including copper and other metals, petroleum-based resins, chemicals, electronic components and semiconductors. A significant disruption in the supply of these materials for any reason could decrease our production and shipping levels, which could materially increase our operating costs and materially decrease our profit margins.

We, as with other component manufacturers in the automotive industry, ship products to our customers’ vehicle assembly plants throughout the world so they are delivered on a “just-in-time” basis in order to maintain low inventory levels. Our suppliers also use a similar method. However, this “just-in-time” method makes the logistics supply chain in our industry very complex and very vulnerable to disruptions.

Such disruptions could be caused by any one of a myriad of potential problems, such as closures of one of our or our suppliers’ plants or critical manufacturing lines due to strikes, mechanical breakdowns or failures, electrical outages, fires, explosions or political upheaval, as well as logistical complications due to weather, global climate change, volcanic eruptions, or other natural or nuclear disasters, delayed customs processing, the spread of an infectious disease, virus or other widespread illness and more. Additionally, as we focus operations in best cost countries, the risk for such disruptions is heightened. The lack of any single subcomponent necessary to manufacture one of our products could force us to cease production, potentially for a prolonged period. Similarly, a potential quality issue could force us to halt deliveries while we validate the products. Even where products are ready to be shipped, or have been shipped, delays may arise before they reach our customer. Our customers may halt or delay their production for the same reason if one of their other suppliers fails to deliver necessary components. This may cause our customers, in turn to suspend their orders, or instruct us to suspend delivery, of our products, which may adversely affect our financial performance.

When we fail to make timely deliveries in accordance with our contractual obligations, we generally have to absorb our own costs for identifying and solving the “root cause” problem as well as expeditiously producing replacement components or products. Generally, we must also carry the costs associated with “catching up,” such as overtime and premium freight.

Additionally, if we are the cause for a customer being forced to halt production, the customer may seek to recoup all of its losses and expenses from us. These losses and expenses could be significant, and may include consequential losses such as lost profits. Any supply-chain disruption, however small, could potentially cause the complete shutdown of an assembly line of one of our customers, and any such shutdown that is due to causes that are within our control could expose us to material claims of compensation. Where a customer halts production because of another supplier failing to deliver on time, it is unlikely we will be fully compensated, if at all.

Due to various factors that are beyond our control, there are currently global supply chain disruptions, including a worldwide semiconductor supply shortage. The semiconductor supply shortage, due in part to increased demand across multiple industries, is impacting production in automotive and other industries. We anticipate these supply chain disruptions will persist throughout 2022. We, along with most automotive component manufacturers that use semiconductors, have been unable to fully meet the vehicle production demands of OEMs because of events which are outside our control, including but not limited to, the COVID-19 pandemic, the global semiconductor shortage, fires in our suppliers’ facilities, unprecedented weather events in the southwestern United States, and other extraordinary events. Although we are working closely with suppliers

S-11

and customers to minimize any potential adverse impacts of these events, some of our customers have indicated that they expect us to bear at least some responsibility for their lost production and other costs. While no assurances can be made as to the ultimate outcome of these customer expectations or any other future claims, we do not currently believe a loss is probable. We will continue to actively monitor all direct and indirect potential impacts of these supply chain disruptions, and will seek to aggressively mitigate and minimize their impact on our business.

Risks Related to the Notes

Our debt exposes us to certain risks.

As of December 31, 2021, after giving effect to this offering, the total indebtedness of the Issuers and the Guarantor would have been $ million. Our indebtedness could have important consequences, including:

•

making it more difficult for the Issuers to satisfy their respective obligations with respect to the Notes;

•

increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic or industry conditions;

•

requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts, and other general corporate purposes;

•

increasing our vulnerability to, and limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the industry in which we operate;

•

exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as borrowings under our credit agreement are subject to variable rates of interest;

•

placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

•

limiting our ability to borrow additional funds.

Despite the level of our indebtedness, we may still incur significantly more indebtedness. This could further increase the risks associated with our indebtedness.

Despite our current level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur significant additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness, in the future. For example, we had no drawings and $2 billion of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2021. Additionally, the Notes offered hereby contain no restrictive covenants on our ability to incur more debt. If new indebtedness is added to our and our subsidiaries’ current debt levels, the related risks that we and they face would be increased, and we may not be able to meet all our debt obligations, including the Issuers’ repayment of the Notes, in whole or in part.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to service our debt.

Our ability to make payments on, and to refinance, our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures and research and development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future and our ability to borrow under our credit agreement to the extent of available borrowings. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our

S-12

control. If economic conditions worsen, we could experience decreased revenues from our operations and could fail to generate sufficient cash to fund our liquidity needs or fail to satisfy the restrictive covenants and borrowing limitations which we are subject to under certain of our indebtedness.

Based on our current and expected level of operations, we believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under our credit agreement will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs. We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under our credit agreement or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before the maturity thereof. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot service our indebtedness, we may have to take actions such as selling assets, seeking equity or reducing or delaying capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances. We cannot assure you that any such actions, if necessary, could be effected on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

If we default on our obligations to pay our other indebtedness, the Issuers may not be able to make payments on the Notes.

Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including a default under our credit agreement or under the indentures governing our existing notes, that is not waived by the required lenders or holders of such indebtedness, and the remedies sought by the holders of such indebtedness could prevent the Issuers from paying principal and interest on the Notes and substantially decrease the market value of the Notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness, including the covenants contained in our credit agreement and in the indentures governing our existing notes, we would be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such a default under our credit agreement:

•

the lenders under our credit agreement could elect to terminate their commitments thereunder, declare all the outstanding loans thereunder to be due and payable and, if not promptly paid, institute foreclosure proceedings against their collateral and they may be able to cause all of our available cash to be used to repay their loans; and

•

such default could cause a cross-default or cross-acceleration under our other indebtedness.

As a result of such default and any actions the lenders may take in response thereto, we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Your rights as a holder of the Notes are effectively subordinated to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries, other than the Co-Obligor and the Guarantor, which are not obligors under the Notes.

On the issue date, none of our subsidiaries other than the Co-Obligor and the Guarantor will be obligors under the Notes. The Issuers will not be required under the indenture for the Notes to add subsidiary Guarantors in the future. As a result, you will be creditors of only the Issuers and the Guarantor. Substantially all of our operations are conducted by subsidiaries, which, other than the Co-Obligor and the Guarantor, will not be obligors under the Notes on the issue date. All of the existing and future liabilities of those other subsidiaries, including any claims of trade creditors, debtholders and preferred stockholders, if any, will be effectively senior to your claim as a holder of the Notes and related guarantees. Our subsidiaries may incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, their creditors will be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us. The indenture will not limit the ability of our non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur debt or other liabilities.

S-13

The Notes will be subject to a change of control triggering event provision, and the Issuers may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to fulfill their respective obligations under the Notes following a change of control triggering event.

The Issuers may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to fulfill their respective obligations under the Notes following a “change of control triggering event” as defined in the indenture governing the Notes. Under the indenture, upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event, the Issuers will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding Notes of the affected series at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. However, the Issuers may not have sufficient funds at the time of the change of control triggering event to make the required repurchase of the Notes. The Issuers’ failure to make or complete a change of control offer would place the Issuers in default under the indenture governing the Notes of the affected series. In addition, certain change of control events are an event of default under our credit agreement, so the Issuers would need to repay any debt then outstanding thereunder or obtain the requisite consents from the lenders thereunder. However, there can be no assurance that the Issuers would be able to repay such debt or obtain such consents at such time.

The Notes will be unsecured and rank behind any of the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s respective future secured creditors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing their claims.

At December 31, 2021, the Issuers and the Guarantor had $13 million of secured debt. Subject to limits in the indenture we may incur additional secured debt. Holders of any future secured indebtedness of the Issuers and the Guarantor will have claims that are prior to your claims as holders of the Notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. In the event of any distribution or payment in respect of the Issuers’ or the Guarantor’s assets in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or other bankruptcy proceeding, holders of the Issuers’ or the Guarantor’s secured indebtedness will have prior claims to the assets that constitute their collateral. If any of these events occurs, the secured creditors could sell those of the assets in which they have been granted a security interest, to your exclusion, even if an event of default exists under the indenture governing the Notes at such time. Only when the applicable secured debt obligations are satisfied in full will the proceeds of the collateral securing such indebtedness be available to satisfy obligations under the Notes. Holders of the Notes will participate ratably with all holders of the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s respective unsecured indebtedness that is deemed to rank equally with the Notes, based upon the respective amount owed to each creditor. Upon the occurrence of any of the aforementioned events, because the Notes will not be secured by any of the Issuers’ or the Guarantor’s assets, it is possible that any remaining assets might be insufficient to satisfy your claims in full.

An active trading market may not develop for these Notes, which may make it more difficult to sell and accurately price the Notes.

Each series of the Notes is a new issue of securities. There are no established public trading markets for the Notes and active trading markets may not develop. Although the Issuers expect the Notes to be listed for trading on the NYSE, no assurance can be given that the Notes will become or remain listed, that trading markets for the Notes will develop or of the price at which investors may be able to sell the Notes, if at all. In addition, if such listings are obtained, the Issuers will have no obligation to maintain such listings, and the Issuers may delist the Notes of any series at any time. The underwriters have advised the Issuers that they intend to make markets in the Notes after the Issuers complete this offering. However, the underwriters are not obligated to do so and may cease their market-making activities at any time. The liquidity of the trading markets in the Notes, and the market prices quoted for the Notes, may be adversely affected by changes in the overall markets for these types of securities

S-14

and by changes in our financial performance or prospects or in the prospects for companies in our industries generally. As a result, the Issuers cannot assure you that active trading markets will develop for the Notes of any series.

A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by a rating agency to our company or the Notes, if any, could cause the liquidity or market values of the Notes to decline.

The Notes have been rated by nationally recognized rating agencies and may in the future be rated by additional rating agencies. The Issuers cannot assure you that any rating assigned will remain for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in that rating agency’s judgment, circumstances relating to the basis of the rating, such as adverse changes in our business, so warrant. Any downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of a rating by a rating agency (or any anticipated downgrade, suspension or withdrawal) could reduce the liquidity or market values of the Notes.

Any future lowering of our ratings may make it more difficult or more expensive for the Issuers to obtain additional debt financing. If any credit rating initially assigned to the Notes is subsequently lowered or withdrawn for any reason, you may not be able to resell your Notes without a substantial discount.

The indenture will contain only limited covenants for the benefit of the Notes.

The indenture governing the Notes will contain limited covenants, including those restricting our ability and our subsidiaries’ ability to create certain liens, and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions. The limitation on liens and limitation on sale and leaseback covenants will contain exceptions that will allow us and our subsidiaries to incur liens with respect to certain material assets. See “Description of Notes—Certain Covenants.” In light of these exceptions, holders of the Notes may be structurally or contractually subordinated to new lenders. In addition, the covenants will not limit our ability to repurchase stock or pay dividends. We currently have an ordinary share repurchase program in place, and we paid regular quarterly dividends on our ordinary shares from the first quarter of 2013 until the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, we suspended dividend payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic and do not anticipate making further ordinary share cash dividend payments, until such time as the global economic uncertainties and business impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have abated.

For purposes of voting under the indenture governing the Notes, the Notes offered hereby and all other debt securities issued thereunder will generally constitute a single class of debt securities. Therefore, any action under the indenture governing the Notes other than those actions affecting only the Notes will require the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities issued thereunder that are affected thereby. See “Description of Notes—Amendments and Waivers.” Consequently, any action requiring the consent of holders of the Notes under the indenture governing the Notes may also require the consent of holders of a significant portion of the remaining debt securities issued thereunder, and the individual voting interest of each holder of the Notes may be accordingly diluted with respect to such actions. In addition, holders of debt securities could vote in favor of certain actions under the indenture that holders of the Notes vote against, and the requisite consent to such action could be received nonetheless. The Issuers also may, from time to time, issue additional debt securities under the indenture governing the Notes which could further dilute the individual voting interest of each holder of the Notes with respect to such actions.

If we do not complete the Acquisition on or prior to July 10, 2023, the Issuers will be required to redeem all of the 2032 Notes and the 2052 Notes, and as a result, holders of such series of Notes may not obtain their expected return on such series of Notes.

We may not be able to consummate the Acquisition within the time period specified under “Description of Notes—Special Mandatory Redemption.” Our ability to consummate the Acquisition is subject to various closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and other matters that are beyond our control. If we are not able to consummate the Acquisition on or prior to July 10, 2023, or if prior to such date, the definitive agreement

S-15

relating to the Acquisition is terminated, then the Issuers will be required to redeem all of the 2032 Notes and the 2052 Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of each of the 2032 Notes and the 2052 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. There is no escrow account for or security interest in the proceeds of this offering for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, and the holders of the Notes will therefore be subject to the risk that the Issuers may not have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy their respective obligations to repurchase each series of Notes pursuant to a special mandatory redemption. In addition, even if the Issuers are able to redeem each such series of Notes pursuant to a special mandatory redemption, holders of such series of Notes may not obtain their expected return on such Notes. Your decision to invest in the Notes is made at the time of the offering of the Notes. Changes in our business or financial condition, or the terms of the Acquisition, between the closing of this offering and the closing of the Acquisition will have no effect on your rights as a purchaser of the Notes.

The Indenture contains provisions which define your rights under the Notes. In addition, the Indenture governs the obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantor under the Notes. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA.

The following description is meant to be only a summary of the provisions of the Indenture that we consider material. It does not restate the terms of the Indenture in their entirety. We urge that you carefully read the Indenture because the Indenture, and not this description, governs your rights as holders. You may request copies of the Indenture at our address set forth above under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Indenture May Be Used For Future Issuances

We may issue additional Notes of the same series as the Notes of a series offered hereby having identical terms and conditions to the Notes of such series that the Issuers are currently offering (the “Additional Notes”) under the Indenture from time to time; provided, however, that if such Additional Notes are not fungible with the other Notes of the same series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will not have the same “CUSIP” number or other applicable identification number as the other Notes of such series (it being understood that, as described in the “—U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment” section below, any Additional Notes that have a different allocation than the initial allocation with respect to the outstanding Notes shall not be considered as not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes under this proviso solely as a result of such difference in allocation). Any Additional Notes will be part of the same series as the Notes of such series that the Issuers are currently offering and will vote on all matters with the Notes. We may also issue notes of different series under the Indenture from time to time.

Registrar and Paying Agent

The Issuers will pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes at any office of the Issuers or any agency designated by the Issuers. The Issuers have initially designated Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to act as the agent of the Issuers in such matters. The Issuers however, reserve the right to pay interest to the Holders by check mailed directly to Holders at their registered addresses or, with respect to global Notes, by wire transfer.

Holders may exchange or transfer their Notes at the Registrar and Paying Agent’s office. No service charge will be made for any registration or transfer or exchange of Notes. However, the Issuers may require Holders to pay any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

Optional Redemption

2025 Notes

At any time prior to , 2023, the Issuers may at their option redeem the 2025 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

•

100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed; and

•

the sum of the present value of (i) the redemption price (100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed) on , 2023 and (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on the 2025 Notes to be redeemed through , 2023 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued and unpaid to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus basis points,

S-22

plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day next preceding the date fixed for redemption (the “Calculation Date”).

If the 2025 Notes are redeemed at any time on or after , 2023 (the “2025 Notes Par Call Date”), the 2025 Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

2032 Notes

At any time prior to , 2031 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2032 Notes), the Issuers may at their option redeem the 2032 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

•

100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed; and

•

the sum of the present value of (i) the redemption price (100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed) on , 2031 and (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on the 2032 Notes to be redeemed through , 2031 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued and unpaid to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus basis points,

plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the Calculation Date.

If the 2032 Notes are redeemed at any time on or after , 2031 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2032 Notes) (the “2032 Notes Par Call Date”), the 2032 Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

2052 Notes

At any time prior to , 2051 (six months prior to the maturity date of the 2052 Notes), the Issuers may at their option redeem the 2052 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

•

100% of the principal amount of the 2052 Notes to be redeemed; and

•

the sum of the present value of (i) the redemption price (100% of the principal amount of the 2052 Notes to be redeemed) on , 2051 and (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on the 2052 Notes to be redeemed through , 2051 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued and unpaid to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus basis points,

plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2052 Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the Calculation Date.

If the 2052 Notes are redeemed at any time on or after , 2051 (six months prior to the maturity date of the 2052 Notes) (the “2052 Notes Par Call Date”; each of the 2025 Notes Par Call Date, the 2032 Notes Par Call Date and the 2052 Notes Par Call Date are referred to as a “Par Call Date”), the 2052 Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2052 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for any series of Notes, the yield determined by the Issuers in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

S-23

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuers after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuers shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date for the relevant series of Notes (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date for the relevant series of Notes on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

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

The Issuers’ actions and determinations in determining the redemption price for the Notes of any series shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Notice of such redemption must be mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, or delivered electronically if held by any depositary in accordance with such depositary’s customary procedures, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. If the Issuers partially redeem the Notes of a series, the Registrar and Paying Agent, subject to the procedures of The Depository Trust Company, will select the Notes of the applicable series to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company, although no Note less than $2,000 in original principal amount will be redeemed in part. If the Issuers redeem any Note in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes of the applicable series or portions of such series of Notes called for redemption so long as the Issuers have deposited with the Registrar and Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of the Notes to be redeemed, plus

S-24

accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Any notice of redemption may be conditioned on the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

Except as described above and as described in “—Special Mandatory Redemption” and “—Tax Redemption” below, the Notes will not be redeemable by us prior to maturity. In addition, the Notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Special Mandatory Redemption

In the event that Aptiv does not consummate the Acquisition on or prior to July 10, 2023, or if prior to such date, the definitive agreement relating to the Acquisition is terminated, then the Issuers will redeem all of the 2032 Notes and 2052 Notes, on the special mandatory redemption date (as defined below) at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of each of the 2032 Notes and the 2052 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the date of initial issuance to, but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

The Issuers will cause the notice of special mandatory redemption to be sent, with a copy to the Trustee, within one business day after the occurrence of the event triggering redemption to each Holder at its registered address. If funds sufficient to pay the special mandatory redemption price of the 2032 Notes or the 2052 Notes to be redeemed on the special mandatory redemption date are deposited with the Trustee on or before such special mandatory redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the special mandatory redemption date, such series of Notes will cease to bear interest.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment

On the Issue Date, all or a portion of the proceeds of the offering of the Notes of each series will be borrowed by Aptiv Corporation and the remaining portion of the proceeds of the offering of the Notes of such series, if any, will be borrowed by Aptiv. The portion of the proceeds of Notes of each series that will be borrowed by Aptiv Corporation and the portion of the proceeds of Notes of each series that will be borrowed by Aptiv, in each case, on the Issue Date, and after any subsequent change to such allocation (as discussed below), will be made available to a Holder or beneficial owner upon request by contacting Aptiv Investor Relations (which can be reached through Aptiv’s website or at ir@aptiv.com). Although the Notes of each series are co-issued by the Issuers and, therefore, each of the Issuers is liable for repayment of the Notes of each series and all interest and additional amounts thereon in their entirety, the Issuers intend to treat, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Aptiv Corporation and Aptiv, respectively, as the issuer of only the portion of the Notes of each series borrowed by each such Issuer. In addition, the interest and principal due on the portion of the Notes of each series borrowed by each Issuer will be paid, on a pro rata basis, by (or on behalf of) the applicable Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Indenture, (x) each Holder and beneficial owner acknowledge that Aptiv Corporation and Aptiv have the right to change the foregoing allocations between Aptiv Corporation and Aptiv for any reason (including, but not limited, as a result of a redemption of any Notes of a series or the issuance of Additional Notes with respect to such series, in each case, in a different allocation than the initial allocation with respect to the outstanding Notes of such series), (y) the Issuers are entitled (i) not to treat any Additional Notes of a series that have a different allocation than the initial allocation with respect to the outstanding Notes of such series as non-fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes solely as a result of such different allocation, and (ii) to treat the issuance of Additional Notes of a series as resulting in a change in the allocation of the outstanding Notes of such series so as to have the same allocation across the Additional Notes of

S-25

such series and the outstanding Notes of such series, and (z) each Holder and beneficial owner agree and acknowledge that any applicable withholding agent may withhold U.S. federal withholding tax (including any withholding imposed under FATCA) from any interest payment made on any Note of a series to or for the benefit of any person who is not a “United States person,” as such term is defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and pay such withheld amounts to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), in each case in accordance with applicable law, unless such person provides documentation to the applicable withholding agent such that an exemption from such U.S. federal withholding tax would apply to such payment (provided that, the amount of any such withholding may be determined (regardless of the actual allocation) as if interest on such Note were treated entirely as U.S.-source income for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

Note Guarantees

The Guarantor, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, will irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee on a senior unsecured basis the performance and full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuers under the Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by the Guarantor being herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantor is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by Aptiv.

The Guarantor will agree to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee in enforcing any rights under the Note Guarantee. The Note Guarantee will be limited in amount to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the Guarantor without rendering the Note Guarantee voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

The Note Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations (subject to release as described below), (b) be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Trustee, the Holders and their successors, transferees and assigns.

The Note Guarantee of the Guarantor will be released without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any holder: (a) upon (i) the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, merger, dissolution or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of the Guarantor such that it is no longer a Subsidiary of either of the Issuers or (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor; (b) when the Guarantor is no longer an obligor (whether as an issuer or guarantor) on any of Aptiv’s senior notes outstanding on the Issue Date; or (c) upon legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes.

The Issuers, at their option, may cause any other Subsidiary of the Issuers to become a Guarantor.

Ranking

The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and the Note Guarantees is unsecured and ranks pari passu in right of payment to the senior indebtedness of each of the Issuers and the Guarantor, respectively. All of Aptiv’s currently outstanding notes are obligations of each of the Co-Obligor and the Guarantor.

The Notes are unsecured obligations of each of the Issuers. Secured debt and other secured obligations of each of the Issuers will be effectively senior to the Notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt or other obligations.

As of December 31, 2021, after giving effect to the offering of the Notes, the Issuers and the Guarantor would have had total indebtedness of $ million, including $13 million of secured debt.

S-26

Aptiv currently conducts substantially all of its operations through its subsidiaries. Creditors of such subsidiaries (other than the Co-Obligor and the Guarantor), including trade creditors, and preferred stockholders, if any, of such subsidiaries generally will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such subsidiaries over the claims of creditors of Aptiv, including Holders. The Notes, therefore, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of creditors, including trade creditors, and preferred stockholders, if any, of the subsidiaries of Aptiv other than the Co-Obligor or the Guarantor.

The Indenture does not limit the incurrence of indebtedness by each of the Issuers or any of their respective subsidiaries. Each of the Issuers and their respective subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial amounts of additional Indebtedness in certain circumstances.

Such Indebtedness may be senior indebtedness and, subject to the limitations under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Liens” below, may also be secured.

The Notes will rank equally in all respects with all other senior indebtedness of each of the Issuers. Unsecured Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinate or junior to secured indebtedness merely because it is unsecured.

Change of Control Triggering Event

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event in respect of Notes of a series, each Holder of Notes of such series will have the right to require the Issuers to purchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes of such a series at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means, with respect to the Notes of a series, the occurrence of both a (1) Change of Control and (2) (i) the ratings of the Notes of the applicable series are downgraded by each of the Ratings Agencies during the 60-day period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing on the earlier of (x) the occurrence of such Change of Control or (y) the first public announcement of the occurrence of such Change of Control or our intention to effect such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended so long as the ratings of the Notes of such series are under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Ratings Agencies) and (ii) the Notes of such series are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Ratings Agencies on any date during the Trigger Period; provided that (x) a Change of Control Triggering Event will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control if each Ratings Agency does not publicly announce or confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at our request that the reduction was the result of the Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the Change of Control Triggering Event) and (y) the Trigger Period will terminate with respect to each Ratings Agency when such Ratings Agency takes action (including affirming its existing ratings) with respect to such Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

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

(1)

any transaction occurs (including a merger or consolidation of Aptiv) following which any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Issuers; or

S-27

(2)

sale, lease or transfer (for the avoidance of doubt, other than a transfer to Aptiv or one of its Subsidiaries), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all the assets of Aptiv and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to a Person in which any person (as defined above) holds or acquires beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of such transferee Person.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) Aptiv becomes a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a holding company and (2) no person (as defined above) (other than a holding company) owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting power of the Equity Interests of such holding company.

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, with respect to a series of Notes, an Issuer shall (unless prior to such date such Change of Control Triggering Event ceases to exist) deliver by mail or electronic means a notice to each Holder of Notes of such series with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”), stating:

(1)

that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuers to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes of such series at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date);

(2)

the circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control Triggering Event;

(3)

the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered); and

(4)

the instructions determined by the Issuers, consistent with this covenant, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes of such series purchased.

The Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes of the applicable series if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes of such series validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. In addition, the Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if the Notes of the applicable series have been or are called for redemption by the Issuers prior to them being required to deliver notice of the Change of Control Offer, and thereafter redeem all Notes of such series called for redemption in accordance with the terms set forth in such redemption notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a revocable Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditioned upon the consummation of the relevant Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for such Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

The Issuers will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to this covenant. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this covenant by virtue thereof.

The Change of Control Triggering Event purchase feature is a result of negotiations between the Issuers and the underwriters. Management of Aptiv has no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that Aptiv would decide to do so in the future. Subject to the limitations discussed below, Aptiv could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or

S-28

recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that could increase the amount of Indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect Aptiv’s capital structure or credit ratings.

The occurrence of certain of the events which would constitute a Change of Control could constitute a default under the Credit Agreement. Future senior indebtedness of each of the Issuers and their respective subsidiaries may contain prohibitions of certain events which would constitute a Change of Control or require such senior indebtedness to be repurchased or repaid upon a Change of Control. Moreover, the exercise by the Holders of their right to require the Issuers to purchase the Notes could cause a default under the Credit Agreement or such other senior indebtedness, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on the Issuers or restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement or the applicable agreements governing such other senior indebtedness. Finally, the Issuers’ ability to pay cash to the Holders upon a purchase may be limited by each of the Issuers’ then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required purchases.

The provisions under the Indenture relative to the Issuers’ respective obligations to make an offer to purchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

Tax Redemption

The Issuers may redeem the Notes of a series as a whole but not in part, at their option at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption to the holders, if the Issuers determine that, as a result of:

•

any change in or amendment to the laws, or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws, of a Relevant Jurisdiction (as defined below under “—Payment of Additional Amounts”) affecting taxation, or

•

any change in or amendment to an official position regarding the application or interpretation of the laws, regulations or rulings referred to above,

which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (or, if the Relevant Jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, after such later date) (each of the foregoing, a “Change in Tax Law”), each of the Issuers or the Guarantor is or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes of such series or the Note Guarantees on the next succeeding interest payment date, as described below under “—Payment of Additional Amounts” (but in the case of the Guarantor, only if the payments giving rise to such obligation cannot be made by the Issuers or another Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts) and the payment of such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Issuers or the Guarantor. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date fixed for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”), and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due or which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of such series on any record date occurring prior to the Tax Redemption Date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof). The date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice of tax redemption. Notice of such redemption will be irrevocable, and must be mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, or delivered electronically if held by any depositary in accordance with such depositary’s customary procedures, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which we would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes of a series were actually due on such date. No such notice of redemption will be given unless, at the time such notification of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect.

S-29

Prior to giving the notice of tax redemption, we will deliver to the Trustee:

•

a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer stating that the Issuers are entitled to effect the redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuers to so redeem have occurred; and

•

an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the Relevant Jurisdiction, selected by us, to the effect that the Issuers are or would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law.

The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any successor to the Issuers or the Guarantor.

Payment of Additional Amounts

Payments made by the Issuers, the Guarantor or a paying agent, as applicable, on the Notes or in respect of the Note Guarantee will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge of any nature whatsoever (“Taxes”), unless the Issuers, the Guarantor or a paying agent is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law.

If any withholding or deduction for or on account of Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of Jersey, Ireland, any other jurisdiction (other than the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or any political subdivision of any such state or the District of Columbia, or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein) in which the Issuers or the Guarantor is incorporated, organized, engaged in business or otherwise resident for tax purposes, or any other jurisdiction (other than the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or any political subdivision of any such state or the District of Columbia, or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein) from or through which such payment is made, or in each case any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein (each, a “Relevant Jurisdiction”) is at any time required by law to be made from any payment made with respect to the Notes of a series or the Note Guarantee, the Issuers, or the Guarantor, as applicable, will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) on the Notes of such series or in respect of the Note Guarantee as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder of the Notes of such series (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to Taxes:

(1)

that would not have been imposed but for the Holder or the beneficial owner of such Note (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) being considered as having a present or former connection with a Relevant Jurisdiction (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of the Notes, the receipt of any payment under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantee, or the exercise or enforcement of any rights under or with respect to the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantee), including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or treated as a resident thereof or domiciled therein or a national thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein;

(2)

that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction of the Holder or beneficial owner, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the Relevant Jurisdiction or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the Relevant Jurisdiction is a party as a precondition to exemption from such Tax;

(3)

payable other than by withholding from payments of principal of or interest on the Notes or from payments in respect of the Note Guarantee;

S-30

(4)

that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(5)

that are estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property or similar Taxes;

(6)

required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent;

(7)

that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the holder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurred later (except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period);

(8)

that are imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the Issue Date (or any amended or successor provision that is substantively comparable), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code as of the Issue Date (or any amended or successor provision that is substantively comparable) or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code; or

(9)

in the case of any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8);

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Note or any payment in respect of the Note Guarantee to any such holder who is a fiduciary or a partnership that is not the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or the beneficial owner would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the holder of the Note.

The Issuers, the Guarantor or the paying agent, as applicable, will (i) make any required withholding or deduction, and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld by it to the relevant jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law.

All references in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, other than under “—Defeasance” and “—Satisfaction and Discharge” in this prospectus supplement, to the payment of the principal or interest, if any, on or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of, any Notes or any payment made under the Note Guarantee shall be deemed to include Additional Amounts to the extent that, in that context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable.

In addition, the Issuers shall pay any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court, documentary, excise, property, or similar Taxes (i) imposed by any Relevant Jurisdiction in respect of the execution, issuance, delivery, or registration of the Notes, the Note Guarantee, the Indenture, or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes, or (ii) imposed by any jurisdiction in respect of the enforcement of the Notes, the Note Guarantee, the Indenture, or any other document or instrument referred to therein.

The Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s respective obligations to pay Additional Amounts if and when due will survive the termination of the Indenture and the payment of all other amounts in respect of the Notes and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any successor of either of the Issuers or the Guarantor, and to any jurisdiction (other than the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or any political subdivision of any such state or the District of Columbia, or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein) in which such successor is incorporated, organized, engaged in business or otherwise resident for tax purposes, and any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein.

S-31

Certain Covenants

The Indenture contains covenants including, among others, those summarized below.

Limitation on Liens

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur or permit to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any nature whatsoever on any Principal Property (as defined below) or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, which Initial Lien secures any Indebtedness, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured, other than the following (“Permitted Liens”):

(1)

Liens securing Indebtedness under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,075 million;

(2)

pledges or deposits by such Person under workers’ compensation laws, unemployment insurance laws or similar legislation, or good faith deposits in connection with bids, tenders, contracts (other than for the payment of Indebtedness) or leases, subleases, licenses or sublicenses to which such Person is a party, or deposits to secure public or statutory obligations of such Person or deposits of cash or United States government bonds to secure surety, stay, customs, replevin or appeal bonds to which such Person is a party, or deposits as security or for the payment of rent, in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(3)

Liens imposed by law, such as carriers’, warehousemen’s and mechanics’, materialman’s, repairman’s, landlord’s, workman’s, supplier’s and other like Liens, in each case for sums not yet due or being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or other Liens arising out of judgments or awards against such Person with respect to which such Person shall then be proceeding with an appeal or other proceedings for review;

(4)

Liens for taxes, assessments or other governmental charges not yet due or payable or subject to penalties for non-payment or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings;

(5)

Liens in favor of issuers of surety or performance bonds or letters of credit, bank guarantees, bankers’ acceptances or similar credit transactions issued pursuant to the request of and for the account of such Person in the ordinary course of its business;

(6)

survey exceptions, encumbrances, easements or reservations of, or rights of others for, licenses, rights-of-way, sewers, electric lines, telegraph and telephone lines and other similar purposes, or zoning or other restrictions as to the use of real property or Liens incidental to the conduct of the business of such Person or to the ownership of its properties which do not in the aggregate materially adversely affect the value of said properties or materially impair their use in the operation of the business of such Person;

(7)

Liens securing Indebtedness incurred to finance the construction, purchase or lease of, or repairs, improvements or additions to, property of such Person; provided, however, that the Lien may not extend to any other property (other than accessions thereto, proceeds and products thereof and property related to the property being financed or through cross-collateralization of individual financings of equipment provided by the same lender) owned by such Person or any of its Subsidiaries at the time the Lien is incurred, and the Indebtedness (other than any interest thereon) secured by the Lien may not be incurred more than 270 days after the later of the acquisition, completion of construction, repair, improvement, addition or commencement of full operation of the property subject to the Lien;

(8)

Liens existing on the Issue Date and extensions, renewals, refinancings and replacements of any such Liens (including any future Liens securing Indebtedness that the Company designates as a “replacement” of such Liens for purposes of this clause, even if such new Indebtedness is not issued

S-32

concurrently with the repayment of the indebtedness so secured, the proceeds thereof are not used to repay such Indebtedness secured by such Liens or such Indebtedness is incurred for different purposes and by a different borrower) so long as the principal amount of Indebtedness (including for this purpose, revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date immediately before the issuance of the Notes, which shall be deemed to be outstanding for these purposes even if undrawn) or other obligations secured thereby is not increased (other than to cover premiums, fees, accrued interest and any expenses of such extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement) and so long as such Liens are not extended to any other property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than pursuant to blanket lien or after acquired property clauses existing in the applicable agreements (including any obligation to have new guarantors provide liens on the same assets owned by it));

(9)

Liens on property or shares of stock of another Person at the time such other Person becomes a Subsidiary of such Person; provided, however, that such Liens are not created, incurred or assumed in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person becoming such a Subsidiary; provided further, however, that such Liens do not extend to any other property owned by such Person or any of its Subsidiaries, except proceeds and products thereof and improvements thereon or pursuant to after acquired property clauses existing in the applicable agreements at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary which do not extend to property transferred to such Person by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(10)

Liens on property at the time such Person or any of its Subsidiaries acquires the property, including any acquisition by means of a merger or consolidation with or into such Person or any Subsidiary of such Person; provided, however, that such Liens are not created, incurred or assumed in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition; provided further, however, that the Liens do not extend to any other property owned by such Person or any of its Subsidiaries other than proceeds or products thereof and accessions thereto;

(11)

Liens securing Indebtedness or other obligations of the Company or a Subsidiary owing to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company;

(12)

Liens to secure any Refinancing (or successive Refinancings) as a whole, or in part, of any Indebtedness secured by any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (7), (9) and (10); provided, however, that:

(A)

such new Lien shall be limited to all or part of the same property that secured the original Lien (plus improvements, accessions, proceeds, dividends or distributions in respect thereof) and

(B)

the Indebtedness secured by such Lien at such time is not increased to any amount greater than the sum of:

(i)

the outstanding principal amount or, if greater, committed amount of the indebtedness secured by Liens described under clauses (7), (9) or (10) at the time the original Lien became a Permitted Lien under the Indenture; and

(ii)

an amount necessary to pay any fees and expenses, including premiums, related to such Refinancings;

(13)

judgment Liens not giving rise to an Event of Default;

(14)

Liens securing Indebtedness consisting of (A) the financing of insurance premiums with the providers of such insurance or their affiliates and (B) take-or-pay obligations contained in supply arrangements in the ordinary course of business; and

(15)

other Liens to secure Indebtedness as long as the amount of outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens incurred pursuant to this clause (15), when aggregated with the amount of Attributable Debt outstanding and incurred in reliance on clause (5) under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sale

S-33

and Leaseback Transactions,” does not exceed 15.0% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time any such Lien is granted; provided, however, notwithstanding whether this clause (15) would otherwise be available to secure Indebtedness, Liens securing Indebtedness originally secured pursuant to this clause (15) may secure Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of such Indebtedness and such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been secured pursuant to this clause (15).

“Principal Property” means any manufacturing or production plant located in the United States of America (including fixtures but excluding leases and other contract rights which might otherwise be deemed real property) owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned on the date hereof or thereafter, provided each such plant has a net book value at the date as of which the determination is being made of in excess of 1% of the Consolidated Total Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, other than any such plant which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors (evidenced by a certified board resolution thereof delivered to the Trustee), is not of material importance to the business conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. As of the Issue Date, neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary owns any “Principal Property.” If the Company acquires property in the future that is “Principal Property,” it will be subject to this covenant.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien.

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien in one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness will be treated as being incurred or existing pursuant to only one of such clauses.

Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property unless:

(1)

the Sale and Leaseback Transaction is solely with the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company;

(2)

the lease is for a period not in excess of 24 months, including renewals;

(3)

the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would (at the time of entering into such arrangement) be entitled as described in clauses (1) through (14) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” without equally and ratably securing the Notes then outstanding under the Indenture, to create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness secured by a Lien on such property in the amount of the Attributable Debt arising from such Sale and Leaseback Transaction;

(4)

the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary within 360 days after the sale of such Principal Property in connection with such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is completed, applies an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of such Principal Property to (i) the permanent retirement of Notes, other Indebtedness of each of the Issuers ranking on a parity with the Notes or Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or (ii) the purchase of property; or

(5)

the Attributable Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and all other Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into after the Issue Date

S-34

(other than any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction as would be permitted as described in clauses (1) through (4) of this sentence), plus the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness secured by Liens on properties then outstanding (not including any such Indebtedness secured by Liens described in clauses (1) through (14) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”) which do not equally and ratably secure such outstanding Notes (or secure such outstanding Notes on a basis that is prior to other Indebtedness secured thereby), would not exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets.

Merger and Consolidation

Aptiv will not, directly or indirectly, consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets in one or a series of related transactions to, any Person, unless:

(1)

the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) will be a corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, limited company, or other similar organization organized and existing under the laws of (x) the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (y) the United Kingdom, Jersey and any other jurisdiction in the Channel Islands, any member state of the European Union as in effect on the Issue Date, Switzerland, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands or Singapore, provided that, the Successor Company (if not Aptiv) will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of Aptiv under the Indenture and the Notes (and, if the Successor Company is not a corporation, the Issuers shall cause a corporate co-issuer to become a co-obligor on the Notes);

(2)

immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(3)

the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the Indenture.

The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, Aptiv under the Indenture, and the predecessor Issuers other than in the case of a lease, will be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes.

In addition, the Co-Obligor will not, directly or indirectly, consolidate with or merge with or into any Person unless:

(1)(A)

the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Co-Obligor”) will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Guarantor under its Note Guarantee;

(B)

immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(C)

the Issuers will have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the Indenture; or

(2)

such Issuer will no longer be a Subsidiary of Aptiv, in which case it shall be released from its obligation in connection therewith.

The Successor Co-Obligor will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Co-Obligor under the Indenture, and the predecessor Co-Obligor will be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes.

Notwithstanding the first paragraph above or the immediately preceding paragraph: (A) any Subsidiary of the Company may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to an Issuer, the

S-35

Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Company; and (B) the Issuers and the Guarantor may merge with an Affiliate organized solely for the purpose of reorganizing the Issuers or the Guarantor in another jurisdiction.

Defaults

Each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes of a series:

(1)

a default in any payment of interest on the Notes of such series when due and payable that continues for 30 days;

(2)

a default in the payment of principal of any Note of such series when due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption or required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

(3)

the failure by the Issuers or the Guarantor to comply with their respective obligations under the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Merger and Consolidation” above with respect to the Notes of such series;

(4)

the failure by Aptiv or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply for 60 days after notice with any of its obligations under the covenant described under “—Change of Control Triggering Event” above (other than a failure to purchase Notes of such series);

(5)

the failure by Aptiv or any Subsidiary to comply for 90 days after notice as specified in the Indenture with its other agreements contained in the Indenture with respect to the Notes of such series; and

(6)

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of either of the Issuers (the “bankruptcy provisions”).

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

However, a default under clauses (4) or (5) will not constitute an Event of Default with respect to any Notes until the Trustee notifies the Issuers or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series and notes of all series affected thereby notify the Issuers and the Trustee of the default and the Issuers do not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (4) or (5) hereof after receipt of such notice.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuers) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee (at the direction of the Holders) or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series and all other notes issued under the Indenture affected thereby (all such series voting as a single class) by notice to the Issuers may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the Notes of such series and such other notes of the affected series to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of either of the Issuers occurs, the principal of and interest on all of the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series and all other notes issued under the Indenture affected thereby (all such series voting as a single class) may rescind any such acceleration and its consequences.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive

S-36

payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder of a Note of a series may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes of such series unless:

(1)

such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing,

(2)

Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series and all other notes of all series affected thereby have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy,

(3)

such Holder has offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense,

(4)

the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity, and

(5)

the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series and all other notes of all series affected thereby will be given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to security or indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses.

If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to the Trustee with respect to the Notes of a series, the Trustee must deliver to each Holder of the Notes of such series, notice of the Default within 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the redemption provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders. In addition, the Issuers will be required to deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. The Issuers will also be required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute certain Events of Default, their status and what action the Issuers are taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

Amendments and Waivers

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes of a series may be amended as it relates to the Notes of such series with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding and all other notes issued under the Indenture affected thereby (all such series voting as a single class) and any past default or compliance with any provisions with respect to the Notes of a series may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding and all other notes of all series affected thereby voting as a single class. However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, no amendment may, among other things:

(1)

reduce the amount of the Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

(2)

reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(3)

reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

(4)

reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the scheduled date at which any Note may be redeemed as described under “—Optional Redemption” above;

S-37

(5)

make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note;

(6)

impair the right of any Holder of Notes to receive payment of principal of, and interest on, such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; or

(7)

make any change in the amendment provisions which require each Holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions.

Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise, the provisions under the Indenture relative to the Issuers’ respective obligations to make any offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event as described under the heading “—Change of Control Triggering Event” above may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

Without the consent of any Holder of the Notes, the Issuers and the Trustee, as applicable, may amend the Indenture and the Notes to:

(1)

cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

(2)

provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the respective obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantor under the Indenture;

(3)

provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code);

(4)

add additional Note Guarantees or to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of the Note Guarantee when such release, termination or discharge is permitted under the Indenture;

(5)

add to the covenants of the Company or the Issuers for the benefit of the Holders of Notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or the Issuers;

(6)

make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the form, authentication, transfer and legending of Notes; provided, however, that

(A)

compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and

(B)

such amendment does not materially affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes;

(7)

comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA;

(8)

to establish the form or forms or terms of notes of any series as permitted under the provisions of the Indenture relating to the issuance of notes in series;

(9)

convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge as security for the Notes any property or assets in accordance with the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Liens;”

(10)

conform any provision of the Indenture or the Notes to this “Description of Notes;” or

(11)

make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect.

The consent of the Holders will not be necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver. It will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or waiver.

After an amendment becomes effective, the Issuers are required to deliver to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

S-38

Transfer and Exchange

A Holder will be able to transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the restrictions set forth in the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and Paying Agent and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require Holders to pay any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange that are required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers will not be required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption or to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Notes to be redeemed. The Notes will be issued in registered form and the Holder will be treated as the owner of such Note for all purposes.

Satisfaction and Discharge

When (1) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee or Registrar and Paying Agent all outstanding Notes of a series for cancellation or (2) all outstanding Notes of a series have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year, whether at maturity or on a redemption date as a result of the delivery by the Issuers of a notice of irrevocable redemption to the Trustee or Registrar and Paying Agent and, in the case of clause (2), the Issuers deposit with the Trustee or Registrar and Paying Agent funds or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Notes of such series, including premium, if any, interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date, and if in any case the Issuers pay all other sums payable under the Indenture by the Issuers with respect to the Notes of such series, then the Indenture shall, subject to certain exceptions, cease to be of further effect with respect to all outstanding Notes of such series; provided that in a discharge in connection with any redemption that requires the payment of a premium based on the Treasury Rate plus a specified amount of basis points (the “Applicable Premium”), the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium with respect to such series of Notes calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit on the date of redemption (the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of the redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption.

Defeasance

The Issuers may, as described below, at any time terminate all their and the Guarantor’s respective obligations under the Indenture with respect to a series of Notes (“legal defeasance”), except for certain obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the Notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and to maintain a Registrar and Paying Agent in respect of the Notes of a series.

In addition, the Issuers may, as described below, at any time terminate in respect of the Notes of a series:

(1)

their respective obligations under the covenants described under “—Change of Control Triggering Event” and “—Certain Covenants,” and

(2)

the operation of the covenant default provisions and the bankruptcy provisions (other than with respect to the Issuers) described under “—Defaults” above (“covenant defeasance” and such provisions the “defeased provisions”).

In the event that the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option or their covenant defeasance option with respect to the Notes of a series, the Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Note Guarantee in respect of such series of Notes.

The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of their covenant defeasance option. If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option with respect to the Notes of a series,

S-39

payment of the Notes of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Issuers exercise their covenant defeasance option with respect to the Notes of a series, payment of the Notes of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in, or resulting from a breach of, the defeased provisions.

In order to exercise either defeasance option with respect to the Notes of a series, the Issuers must deposit in trust (the “defeasance trust”) with the Trustee money in an amount sufficient or U.S. Government Obligations, the principal of and interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal of, premium (if any) and interest in respect of the Notes of such series to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with certain other conditions, including delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that beneficial owners of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred (and, in the case of legal defeasance only, such Opinion of Counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable U.S. federal income tax law).

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

The Notes initially will be represented by one or more permanent global certificates in definitive, fully registered form (the “Global Notes”). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC in the form of a global certificate. DTC has advised us that pursuant to procedures established by it (i) upon the issuance of the Global Notes, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its internal system, the principal amount at maturity of the individual beneficial interests represented by such Global Notes to the respective accounts of persons who have accounts with such depositary and (ii) ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC (“participants”) or persons who hold interests through participants. Holders may hold their interests in the Global Notes directly through DTC if they are participants in such system, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such system.

So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or Holder of the Notes, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Notes represented by such Global Notes for all purposes under the indenture governing the Notes. No beneficial owner of an interest in the Global Notes will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC’s procedures, in addition to those provided for under the indenture with respect to the Notes.

Payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including additional interest) on, the Global Notes will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Notes. None of the Issuers, the Trustee or any paying agent under the indenture governing the Notes will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interest.

DTC has advised us that its present practice is, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest (including additional interest) on the Global Notes, to credit immediately participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Notes as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice, as is now

S-40

the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.

Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way through DTC’s same-day funds system in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same-day funds. If a Holder requires physical delivery of a certificated security for any reason, including to sell Notes to persons in states which require physical delivery of the Notes, or to pledge such securities, such Holder must transfer its interest in a Global Note, in accordance with the normal procedures of DTC and with the procedures set forth in the indenture governing the Notes.

DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Holder of Notes, including the presentation of Notes for exchange as described below, only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in the Global Notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an event of default under the indenture governing the Notes, DTC will exchange the Global Notes for certificated securities, which it will distribute to its participants.

DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a “Clearing Agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly (“indirect participants”).

Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Note among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Clearstream. Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations (“Clearstream Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides Clearstream Participants with, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and establishment of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Monetary Institute. Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant either directly or indirectly.

Distributions with respect to Notes held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures to the extent received by DTC for Clearstream.

Euroclear. Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear (“Euroclear Participants”) and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic

S-41

book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear includes various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank SA/NV (the “Euroclear Operator”), under contract with Euroclear Clearance Systems S.C., a Belgian cooperative corporation (the “Cooperative”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator, not the Cooperative. The Cooperative establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear Participants. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.

The Euroclear Operator is regulated and examined by the Belgian Banking Commission.

Links have been established among DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear to facilitate the initial issuance of the Notes sold outside of the United States and cross-market transfers of the Notes associated with secondary market trading.

Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the procedures provided below in order to facilitate transfers, they are under no obligation to perform these procedures, and these procedures may be modified or discontinued at any time.

Clearstream and Euroclear will record the ownership interests of their participants in much the same way as DTC, and DTC will record the total ownership of each of the U.S. agents of Clearstream and Euroclear, as participants in DTC. When Notes are to be transferred from the account of a DTC participant to the account of a Clearstream participant or a Euroclear participant, the purchaser must send instructions to Clearstream or Euroclear through a participant at least one day prior to settlement. Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be, will instruct its U.S. agent to receive Notes against payment. After settlement, Clearstream or Euroclear will credit its participant’s account. Credit for the Notes will appear on the next day (European time).

Because settlement is taking place during New York business hours, DTC participants will be able to employ their usual procedures for sending Notes to the relevant U.S. agent acting for the benefit of Clearstream or Euroclear participants. The sale proceeds will be available to the DTC seller on the settlement date. As a result, to the DTC participant, a cross-market transaction will settle no differently than a trade between two DTC participants.

When a Clearstream or Euroclear participant wishes to transfer Notes to a DTC participant, the seller will be required to send instructions to Clearstream or Euroclear through a participant at least one business day prior to settlement. In these cases, Clearstream or Euroclear will instruct its U.S. agent to transfer these Notes against payment for them. The payment will then be reflected in the account of the Clearstream or Euroclear participant the following day, with the proceeds back valued to the value date, which would be the preceding day, when settlement occurs in New York. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date, that is, the trade fails, proceeds credited to the Clearstream or Euroclear participant’s account will instead be valued as of the actual settlement date.

You should be aware that you will only be able to make and receive deliveries, payments and other communications involving the Notes through Clearstream and Euroclear on the days when those clearing systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States. In addition, because of time zone differences there may be problems with completing transactions involving Clearstream and Euroclear on the same business day as in the United States.

S-42

Certificated Securities

A Global Note is exchangeable for certificated securities if:

•

DTC (1) notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or (2) has ceased to be a Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, we fail to appoint a successor depositary;

•

we, at our option, notify the Trustee in writing that we elect to cause the issuance of the Notes in certificated form (provided that under current industry practices, DTC would notify participants of our determination, but would only withdraw beneficial interests from a Global Note at the request of participants); or

•

there has occurred and is continuing a default or an event of default with respect to the Notes.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The information presented under the caption “Jersey Tax Considerations” below is a discussion of the material Jersey tax consequences of investing in the Notes. The information presented under the caption “Irish Tax Considerations” below is a discussion of Aptiv PLC’s status as a resident of Ireland for Irish tax purposes and of the material Irish tax consequences of investing in the Notes. The information presented under the caption “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” below is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of investing in the Notes.

You should consult your tax adviser regarding the applicable tax consequences to you of investing in the Notes under the laws of Ireland, Jersey and the United States (federal, state and local) and any other applicable foreign jurisdiction.

Irish Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of the principal Irish withholding tax consequences for individuals and companies of ownership of the Notes, and some other miscellaneous tax matters, based on the laws and practice of the Irish Revenue Commissioners currently in force in Ireland and may be subject to change. It deals with Holders who beneficially own their Notes as an investment. Particular rules not discussed below may apply to certain classes of taxpayers holding Notes, such as dealers in securities, trusts, etc. The summary does not constitute tax or legal advice and the comments below are of a general nature only. Prospective investors in the Notes should consult their professional advisers on the tax implications of the purchase, holding, redemption or sale of the Notes and the receipt of interest thereon under the laws of their country of residence, citizenship or domicile.

Taxation of Holders

Withholding Tax

In general, tax at the standard rate of income tax (currently 20%) is required to be withheld from payments of Irish-source interest, which may include interest payable on the Notes.

The Issuers will not be obliged to make a withholding or deduction for or on account of Irish income tax from a payment of interest on a Note so long as interest paid on the relevant Note falls within one of the following categories:

(a)

the Notes are quoted Eurobonds, i.e., securities which are issued by a company (such as the Issuers), which are listed on a recognised stock exchange (such as the NYSE) and which carry a right to interest; and

(b)

the person by or through whom the payment is made is not in Ireland, or if such person is in Ireland, either:

(i)

the Notes are held in a clearing system recognised by the Irish Revenue Commissioners (DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are, amongst others, so recognised); or

(ii)

the Holder is not resident in Ireland and has made a declaration to a relevant person (such as a paying agent located in Ireland) in the prescribed form.

Thus, so long as the Notes continue to be quoted on the NYSE and are held in DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, interest on the Notes can be paid by any paying agent acting on behalf of the Issuers free of any withholding or deduction for or on account of Irish income tax. If the Notes continue to be quoted but cease to be held in a recognised clearing system, interest on the Notes may be paid without any withholding or deduction for or on account of Irish income tax, provided such payment is made through a paying agent outside Ireland.

S-48

Encashment Tax

Irish tax will be required to be withheld at a rate of 25% from interest on any Note, where such interest is collected or realised by a bank or encashment agent in Ireland on behalf of any Holder. There is an exemption from encashment tax where (i) the beneficial owner of the interest is not resident in Ireland and has made a declaration to this effect in the prescribed form to the encashment agent or bank or (ii) the beneficial owner of the interest is a company which is within the charge to Irish corporation tax in respect of the interest.

Stamp Duty

No stamp duty, capital duty or similar tax is imposed in Ireland on the issue of the Notes. Furthermore, no stamp duty is imposed in Ireland on the transfer of the Notes within DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream.

Jersey Tax Considerations

The following summary of the anticipated treatment of Aptiv and holders of Notes (other than residents of Jersey) is based on Jersey taxation law and practice as they are understood to apply at the date of this document and is subject to changes in such taxation law and practice. It does not constitute legal or tax advice and does not address all aspects of Jersey tax law and practice. Prospective investors in the Notes should consult their professional advisers on the implications of acquiring, buying, selling or otherwise disposing of the Notes under the laws of any jurisdiction in which they may be liable to taxation.

Taxation of Aptiv

Aptiv is not regarded as a resident for tax purposes in Jersey. Therefore, Aptiv will not be liable to Jersey income tax other than on Jersey source income (except where such income is exempted from income tax pursuant to the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961, as amended) and payments in respect of the Notes may be paid by Aptiv without withholding or deduction for or on account of Jersey income tax. The holders of Notes (other than residents of Jersey) will not be subject to any tax in Jersey in respect of the holding, sale or other disposition of such Notes.

Stamp Duty

In Jersey, no stamp duty is levied on the issue or transfer of the Notes except that stamp duty is payable on Jersey grants of probate and letters of administration, which will generally be required to transfer the Notes on the death of a holder of such Notes where such Notes are situated in Jersey. In the case of a grant of probate or letters of administration, stamp duty is levied according to the size of the estate (wherever situated in respect of a holder of Notes domiciled in Jersey, or situated in Jersey in respect of a holder of Notes domiciled outside Jersey) and is payable on a sliding scale at a rate of up to 0.75% of such estate and such duty is capped at £100,000. Where the Notes are in registered form and the register is not maintained in Jersey, such Notes should not be considered to be situated in Jersey for these purposes.

Jersey does not otherwise levy taxes upon capital, inheritances, capital gains or gifts nor are there other estate duties.

If you are in any doubt as to your tax position you should consult your professional tax adviser.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following summary describes material U.S. federal income tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the Notes to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders, each as defined below. This discussion applies only if you:

•

purchase the Notes of a series in this offering at the “issue price” of the Notes of such series, which will equal the first price to the public (not including bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers) at which a substantial amount of the Notes of such series is sold for money, and

•

hold the Notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally, for investment).

This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances or if you are in a category of persons that are subject to special rules, such as:

•

financial institutions,

•

insurance companies,

•

dealers or traders in securities,

•

persons holding Notes as part of a hedge, “straddle,” integrated transaction or similar transactions,

•

U.S. Holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar,

•

pass-through entities (e.g., S corporations, partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or investors who hold the Notes through pass-through entities,

•

tax-exempt entities,

•

U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States,

•

“controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax,

•

U.S. Holders that hold the Notes through non-U.S. brokers or other non-U.S. intermediaries,

•

persons required for U.S. federal income tax purposes to conform the timing of income accruals with respect to the Notes to their financial statements under Section 451 of the Code, or

•

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax.

If you are a partner in an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that holds Notes, your U.S. federal income tax treatment with respect to the Notes will generally depend on your status and upon the activities of the partnership. You and the partnership should each consult your own tax advisor as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the Notes.

This summary is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus supplement may affect the tax consequences described herein (possibly with retroactive effect). You should consult your own tax advisor with regard to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws (including the unearned income Medicare contribution tax under Section 1411 of the Code) to your particular situation as well as any tax consequences arising under other U.S. federal tax laws (such as estate and gift tax laws) or the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

a citizen or individual resident of the United States,

S-50

•

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or

•

an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder.

Possible Application of Rules Governing Contingent Payment Debt Instruments

Under certain circumstances, including as described under “Description of the Notes—Special Mandatory Redemption” and “Description of the Notes—Change of Control Triggering Event,” payments on the Notes of a series may be made at times and/or in amounts that differ from the times and amounts which are otherwise required under the Notes of such series. We intend to take the position that the possibility of such payments does not result in the Notes of any series being treated as contingent payment debt instruments under the applicable Treasury Regulations. Our position is binding on you unless you disclose that you are taking a contrary position in the manner required by applicable Treasury Regulations. Our position is not, however, binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to challenge this position, you might be required to use the accrual method, even if you were otherwise a cash method taxpayer, to accrue income on a Note in excess of the stated interest on the Note and to treat as ordinary income rather than capital gain any income that you recognize on the taxable disposition of the Note. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Notes of each series will not be considered contingent payment debt instruments.

Effect of Co-Issuance and Source of Interest

On the Issue Date, all or a portion of the proceeds of the offering of the Notes of each series will be borrowed by Aptiv Corporation (the “U.S. Issuer”) and the remaining portion of the proceeds of the offering of the Notes of each series will be borrowed by Aptiv (the “Non-U.S. Issuer”). The portion of the proceeds of the Notes of each series that will be borrowed by the U.S. Issuer and the portion of the proceeds of the Notes of each series that will be borrowed by the Non-U.S. Issuer, if any, in each case, on the Issue Date, and after any subsequent change to such allocation (as discussed below), will be made available to a holder or beneficial owner of the Notes upon request by contacting Aptiv Investor Relations (which can be reached through Aptiv’s website or at ir@aptiv.com).

Although the Notes of each series are co-issued by the U.S. Issuer and the Non-U.S. Issuer and therefore each Issuer is liable for repayment of the Notes of each series and all interest and any Additional Amounts thereon in their entirety, we intend to treat, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. Issuer and the Non-U.S. Issuer, respectively, as the issuer of only the portion of the Notes of each series borrowed by each such Issuer on the Issue Date. In addition, the interest and principal due on the portion of the Notes of each series borrowed by each Issuer will be paid, on a pro rata basis, by (or on behalf of) the applicable Issuer. Under current U.S. federal income tax law, if a debt obligation has both U.S. and non-U.S. co-issuers, there is some uncertainty as to the determination of the sourcing of an interest payment on such debt obligation, including for U.S. federal foreign tax credit purposes. Although the matter is not free from doubt, we intend to take the position that the sourcing of an interest payment on a Note will be made by reference to the residence of the Issuer that has the primary obligation to make such interest payment. Accordingly, the remainder of this discussion assumes that the portion of an interest payment on a Note that is made by the U.S. Issuer will be treated as U.S.-source income and any portion of an interest payment on a Note that is made by the Non-U.S. Issuer will be treated as foreign-source income. There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS will not challenge this treatment, and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the IRS with respect to the treatment of the Notes or the sourcing of the interest payments on the Notes. If the Notes were treated in a different manner or the interest payments on the Notes were sourced in a different manner, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a beneficial owner of a Note would be different than from described below.

S-51

Furthermore, the U.S. Issuer and the Non-U.S. Issuer have the right to change the allocation of the Notes of a series between the U.S. Issuer and the Non-U.S. Issuer for any reason (including, but not limited, as a result of a redemption of any Notes of such series or the issuance of Additional Notes of such series, in each case, in a different allocation between the U.S. Issuer and the Non-U.S. Issuer than the initial allocation with respect to the outstanding Notes of such series). The U.S. Issuer and the Non-U.S. Issuer may issue Additional Notes of a series that have a different allocation than the initial allocation with respect to the outstanding Notes of such series. In such event, we intend to take the position that, while not entirely clear, such Additional Notes of such series are fungible with the outstanding Notes of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, resulting in a change in the allocation of the outstanding Notes of such series so as to have the same allocation across the Additional Notes of such series and the outstanding Notes of such series. While we also intend to take the position that any such transaction will not result in a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes, there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with our position, in which case beneficial owners may recognize gain, but potentially not loss, in such transaction. It is also possible that a clearing system may require us to designate only one Issuer as the issuer of the Notes of each series for U.S. federal withholding tax purposes (in which case we intend to designate Aptiv Corporation as the issuer of the Notes of each series for this purpose). An applicable withholding agent may treat the entire amount of interest paid on a Note as U.S.-source interest subject to the withholding rules described below (in the absence of any applicable exemption), even if a portion of such interest is paid by the Non-U.S. Issuer and should be treated as foreign-source interest.

You should consult your own tax advisor as to the treatment of the Notes and the sourcing of interest payments on the Notes (including any change in the source and related U.S. federal income tax consequences).

U.S. Holders

Stated Interest

Stated interest paid on a Note (including any amounts withheld and any Additional Amounts paid in respect of withholding taxes imposed on payments on the Note) will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is expected and this discussion assumes that the Notes of each series will be issued without original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Foreign Tax Credit

Interest on a Note paid by the Non-U.S. Issuer generally will be foreign-source “passive category income” for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to a U.S. Holder under U.S. federal income tax law. Non-U.S. withholding taxes, if any, paid by or on behalf of a U.S. Holder at the rate applicable to such U.S. Holder may be eligible for foreign tax credits (or, at such U.S. Holder’s election, deductions in lieu of such credits) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to applicable limitations and conditions (including that the election to deduct or credit non-U.S. taxes applies to all of the U.S. Holder’s applicable non-U.S. taxes for a particular tax year). The calculation of foreign tax credits involves the application of complex rules that depend on a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances. A U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the creditability or deductibility of any non-U.S. withholding taxes.

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Retirement

Upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a Note, a U.S. Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount the U.S. Holder realizes on the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Note (generally, its cost). For these purposes, the amount realized does not include any amount attributable to accrued stated interest. Amounts attributable to accrued stated interest and not previously included in income are treated as interest as described under “—Stated Interest” above.

S-52

Any gain or loss recognized on the disposition of a Note will generally be U.S.-source capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement the U.S. Holder has held the Note for more than one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder will be subject to reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses may be subject to limitations.

Foreign Financial Asset Reporting

Certain U.S. Holders may be required to report information relating to an interest in “specified foreign financial assets,” subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for specified foreign financial assets held in accounts maintained by financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, to their tax return for each year in which they hold an interest in such specified foreign financial assets. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding information reporting requirements relating to their ownership of the Notes, including the significant penalties for non-compliance.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with stated interest payments on the Notes to, and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of the Notes by, a U.S. Holder unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient. A U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. backup withholding on payments of these amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to provide the U.S. Holder’s taxpayer identification number to the appropriate withholding agent and complies with certain certification procedures, or otherwise fails to establish an exemption from backup withholding. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, if the U.S. Holder timely provides the required information to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

Stated Interest

Subject to the discussions of backup withholding and FATCA below, payments of interest on a Note paid by the Non-U.S. Issuer to any Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, provided that such interest payments are not effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States (or if an applicable income tax treaty requires, are not applicable to the U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder). Payments of interest on a Note paid by the U.S. Issuer to any Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, provided that:

•

the Non-U.S. Holder does not, actually or constructively, own stock possessing 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the U.S. Issuer,

•

the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the U.S. Issuer through actual or constructive stock ownership;

•

such interest payments are not effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States (or if an applicable income tax treaty requires, are not attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder), and

•

the applicable withholding agent receives from the Non-U.S. Holder, a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) executed under penalties of perjury, which provides the Non-U.S. Holder’s name and address and certifies that the Non-U.S. Holder is a non-U.S. person.

If a Non-U.S. Holder cannot satisfy the foregoing requirements, payments of interest made to such Non-U.S. Holder by the U.S. Issuer generally will be subject to 30% U.S. federal withholding tax unless such

S-53

Non-U.S. Holder provides the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed (a) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) claiming a reduction in or exemption from withholding tax under the benefit of an income tax treaty between the United States and the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established, or (b) IRS Form W-8ECI stating that interest paid on a Note is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States and is subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis (as discussed below under “— Effectively-Connected Income”).

The certifications described above must be provided to the applicable withholding agent prior to the payment of interest and generally must be updated periodically. Non-U.S. Holders that do not timely provide the applicable withholding agent with the required certification, but that qualify for a reduced rate under an applicable income tax treaty, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty and the possibility of claiming a refund with respect to any withholding imposed.

As discussed above, it is possible that an applicable withholding agent may treat the entire amount of interest paid on a Note as U.S.-source interest subject to the withholding rules described above, even if a portion of such interest is paid by the Non-U.S. Issuer and should be treated as foreign-source interest.

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Retirement

Subject to the discussion of backup withholding and FATCA below, any gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a Note (excluding any amount allocable to unpaid accrued interest, which generally will be treated as interest as discussed above in “—Stated Interest”) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, unless (a) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by such Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder) (in which case, such gain will be taxed as described below under “—Effectively-Connected Income”) or (b) the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied (in which case, any such gain (net of certain U.S.-source losses, provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses) would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate (or a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty).

Effectively-Connected Income

If interest or gain from a disposition of the Notes is effectively connected with the conduct by a Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base to which the interest or gain is attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such interest or gain on a net basis at the regular rates applicable to a U.S. Holder and the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax described above will not apply (assuming an appropriate certification is provided). In addition, a corporation that is a Non-U.S. Holder also may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to certain adjustments, unless it qualifies for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors about any applicable income tax treaties, which may provide for an exemption from or a lower rate of withholding tax, exemption from or reduction of branch profits tax or other rules different from those described above.

S-54

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of interest on the Notes. This information may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established pursuant to the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement with those tax authorities. Unless the non-U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person, information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with the proceeds from the sale or other taxable disposition (including a redemption or retirement) of the Notes and the non-U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. backup withholding on payments on the Notes or on the proceeds from a sale or other taxable disposition of the Notes. Compliance with the certification procedures required to claim the exemption from withholding tax on interest described above will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid backup withholding as well. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and may entitle the non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA

Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of 30% on payments of U.S.-source interest on the Notes to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities (whether such institutions or entities are beneficial owners or intermediaries) unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies. Under proposed regulations (the preamble to which specifies that taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization), no withholding will apply on payments of gross proceeds from the sale or redemption of the Notes. As discussed above, it is possible that an applicable withholding agent may treat the entire amount of interest paid on a Note as U.S.-source interest subject to the FATCA withholding rules described above, even if a portion of such interest is paid by the Non-U.S. Issuer and should be treated as foreign-source interest. If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution generally will be entitled to a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA (including any applicable intergovernmental agreement) on their investment in the Notes. In the event that any FATCA withholding were imposed with respect to payments on the Notes, no person would be required to pay any additional amounts or indemnify any person as a result thereof.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to purchase the Notes offered hereby are subject to certain conditions and that the underwriters will purchase all of the Notes offered by this prospectus supplement if any of the Notes are purchased. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults with respect to the Notes, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the offering of the Notes may be terminated under certain conditions.

The Issuers have been advised by the underwriters that the underwriters propose to offer the Notes directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. After the initial public offering, the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms. The underwriters may offer and sell Notes through certain of their affiliates. The offering of the Notes by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.

The following table shows the underwriting discounts that the Issuers are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes and in total):


	Paid by Aptiv
Per 2025 Note		%
Per 2032 Note		%
Per 2052 Note		%
Total	$

The Issuers estimate that their expenses of this offering, excluding the underwriting discounts, will be approximately $ million.

In the underwriting agreement, the Issuers have agreed that they will indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of any of these liabilities.

S-56

In connection with this offering of the Notes, the underwriters may engage in overallotments, stabilizing transactions and syndicate covering transactions. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Notes of a series offered pursuant to this prospectus, which creates a short position for the underwriters. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the Notes in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the Notes. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the Notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions. Any of these activities may cause the market prices of the Notes to be higher than they would otherwise be in the absence of those transactions. The underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities, and may end any of them at any time.

The Issuers expect that the delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about , 2022, which will be the seventh day following the date of pricing of the notes (such settlement cycle being herein referred to as “T+7”). 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 date that is more than two business days preceding the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle T+7, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of Notes who wish to trade Notes prior to the date that is more than two business days preceding the settlement date should consult their own advisor.

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriters and their respective affiliates have from time to time provided, and may provide in the future, various financial advisory, investment banking and commercial banking services to us and our affiliates, for which they have received or will receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. In particular, certain of the underwriters and/or their respective affiliates are parties to and are agents and/or lenders under our credit facility and receive customary compensation in connection therewith. The credit facility was negotiated on an arm’s length basis and contains terms pursuant to which the lenders receive customary fees. The underwriters and/or their respective affiliates may hold notes issued by either of the Issuers and, as a result, may receive a portion of the net proceeds from this offering.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments, including serving as counterparties to certain derivative and hedging arrangements, and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Company. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

If any of the underwriters or their respective affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their respective affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their respective affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the Notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Notes offered hereby.

SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, contains forward-looking statements that reflect, when made, our current views with respect to current events and financial performance including the potential impact of the proposed acquisition of Wind River Systems, Inc. Such forward-looking statements are subject to many risks, uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, which may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results, express or implied, by such forward-looking statements. All statements that address future operating, financial or business performance or our strategies or expectations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential,” “outlook” or “continue,” and other comparable terminology. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: global and regional economic conditions, including conditions affecting the credit market; uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the difficulty in predicting its future course and its impact on the global economy and our future operations; fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; the cyclical nature of global automotive sales and production; the potential disruptions in the supply of and changes in the competitive environment for raw material and other components integral to our products, including the current semiconductor supply shortage; our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operations; potential changes to beneficial free trade laws and regulations, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement; our ability to integrate and realize the expected benefits of recent transactions; our ability to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives; our ability to avoid or continue to operate during a strike, or partial work stoppage or slow down by any of our unionized employees or those of our principal customers; and our ability to attract and retain customers. Additional factors are discussed under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. It should be remembered that the price of the ordinary shares and any income from them can go down as well as up. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events and/or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations.

RISK FACTORS

Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and in our then most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in any updates to those risk factors in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all of the other information appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the securities will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, acquisitions, retirement of debt and other business opportunities. In the case of a sale by a selling shareholder, we will not receive any of the proceeds from such sale.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The following descriptions are summaries of the material terms of our Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association (as amended, our “Articles of Association” and “Memorandum of Association,” respectively). Reference is made to the more detailed provisions of, and the descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association, which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and applicable law.

Ordinary Shares

As of January 28, 2022, there were 270,514,140 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. All outstanding ordinary shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The ordinary shares do not have preemptive, subscription or redemption rights. Neither our Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association nor the laws of Jersey restrict in any way the ownership or voting of ordinary shares held by non-residents of Jersey.

Our Board may issue authorized but unissued ordinary shares, and the selling shareholders identified in a prospectus supplement may sell ordinary shares, without further shareholder action, unless shareholder action is required by applicable law or by the rules of a stock exchange or quotation system on which any series of our shares may be listed or quoted.

Dividend and Liquidation Rights. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive equally, share for share, any dividends that may be declared in respect of our ordinary shares by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. If, in the future, we declare cash dividends, such dividends will be payable in U.S. dollars. In the event of our liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, holders of ordinary shares are entitled to share pro rata in our net assets. Such rights may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class or series of preferred shares that may be authorized in the future. Our Board of Directors has the power to declare such interim dividends as it determines. Declaration of a final dividend (not exceeding the amounts proposed by our Board of Directors) requires shareholder approval by adoption of an ordinary resolution. Failure to obtain such shareholder approval does not affect previously paid interim dividends.

Voting, Shareholder Meetings and Resolutions. Holders of ordinary shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of ordinary shares. These voting rights may be affected by the grant of any special voting rights to the holders of a class or series of preferred shares that may be authorized in the future. Pursuant to Jersey law, an annual general meeting shall be held once every calendar year at the time (within a period of not more than 18 months after the last preceding annual general meeting) and at the place as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The quorum required for an ordinary meeting of shareholders consists of shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent between them a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at such meeting.

An ordinary resolution (such as a resolution for the declaration of dividends) requires approval by the holders of a majority of the voting rights represented at a meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting thereon.

Amendments to Governing Documents. A special resolution (such as, for example, a resolution amending our Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association or approving any change in authorized capitalization, or a liquidation or winding-up) requires approval of the holders of two-thirds of the voting rights represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting thereon. A special resolution can only be considered if shareholders receive at least fourteen days’ prior notice of the meeting at which such resolution will be considered.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Shareholder Nominations and Proposals. Our Articles of Association establish advance notice and related procedures with respect to shareholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors.

Limits on Written Consents. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of shareholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of such shareholders.

Transfer of Shares and Notices. Fully paid ordinary shares are issued in registered form and may be freely transferred pursuant to the Articles of Association unless the transfer is restricted by applicable securities laws or prohibited by another instrument. Each shareholder of record is entitled to receive at least fourteen days’ prior notice (excluding the day of notice and the day of the meeting) of an ordinary shareholders’ meeting and of any shareholders’ meeting at which a special resolution is to be adopted. For the purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to notice and to vote at the meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a date as the record date for any such determination.

Modification of Class Rights. The rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of that class), such as voting, dividends and the like, may be varied with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Election and Removal of Directors. The ordinary shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. As a result, the holders of ordinary shares that represent more than 50% of the voting power have the power to elect any of our directors who are up for election. All of our directors will be elected at each annual meeting.

Our Board of Directors currently consists of 12 directors. Our Articles of Association state that shareholders may only remove a director for cause. Our Board of Directors has sole power to fill any vacancy occurring as a result of the death, disability, removal or resignation of a director or as a result of an increase in the size of the Board of Directors.

Preferred Shares

We have 50,000,000 authorized preferred shares. As of December 31, 2021, we have 11,500,000 preferred shares issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the preferred shares in one or

more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such shares, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series, without further vote or action by the shareholders.

When we offer to sell a particular series of preferred shares, we will describe the specific terms of the securities in a supplement to this prospectus. The preferred shares will be issued under a statement of rights relating to each series of preferred shares and they are also subject to our Articles of Association.

Our Board may issue authorized preferred shares without further shareholder action, unless shareholder action is required by applicable law or by the rules of a stock exchange or quotation system on which any series of our shares may be listed or quoted.

All preferred shares offered will be fully paid and non-assessable. Any preferred shares that are issued may have priority over the ordinary shares with respect to dividend or liquidation rights or both.

The purpose of authorizing the Board of Directors to issue preferred shares and to determine their rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a shareholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred shares, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible equity financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting shares.

Convertible Preferred Shares

On June 12, 2020, we closed an offering pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration File No. 333-228021) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), in which we agreed to issue and sell to certain underwriters 11,500,000 5.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares, par value $0.01 per share and liquidation preference $100.00 per share (the “MCPS”), in a registered public offering (“MCPS Offering”). In connection with the MCPS Offering, on June 12, 2020, we adopted a Statement of Rights (the “Statement of Rights”) to establish the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the MCPS.

Unless converted earlier in accordance with the terms of the Statement of Rights, each MCPS will convert automatically on the mandatory conversion date, which is expected to be June 15, 2023, into between 1.0754 and 1.3173 ordinary shares, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments. The number of ordinary shares issuable upon conversion will be determined based on the average volume weighted average price per ordinary share over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately prior to June 15, 2023.

The ordinary shares rank junior to MCPS with respect to the payment of dividends and amounts payable in the event of the our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs. Subject to certain exceptions, so long as any MCPS remains outstanding, no dividend or distributions will be declared or paid on ordinary shares or any other class or series of share capital ranking junior to the MCPS, and no ordinary shares or any other class or series shares ranking junior or on parity with the MCPS shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for consideration by us or any of our subsidiaries unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid upon, or a sufficient sum of cash or number of ordinary shares has been set aside for the payment of such dividends upon, all outstanding MCPS.

In addition, upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, each holder of MCPS will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference in the amount of $100.00 per MCPS, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares, whether or not declared, to, but excluding, the date fixed for liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, to be paid out of our assets legally available for distribution to shareholders after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors and holders of our share capital ranking senior to the MCPS as to distribution rights upon our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, and before any payment or distribution is made to holders of any class or series of share capital ranking junior to the MCPS as to distribution rights upon our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, including, without limitation, the ordinary shares.

The holders of the MCPS do not have voting rights except as described below and as specifically required by Jersey law from time to time.

Whenever dividends on any MCPS have not been declared and paid for the equivalent of six or more dividend periods, whether or not for consecutive dividend periods (a “nonpayment”), the authorized number of directors on our Board of Directors will, at the next annual meeting of shareholders or at a special meeting of shareholders as provided below, automatically be increased by two and the holders of record of the MCPS, voting together as a single class with holders of record of any and all other series of voting preferred shares then outstanding, will be entitled, at the next annual or at a special meeting of our shareholders, to vote for the election of a total of two additional members of the Board of Directors (“preferred share directors”); provided that the election of any such directors will not cause us to violate the corporate governance requirements of NYSE (or any other exchange or automated quotation system on which its securities may be listed or quoted) that requires listed or quoted companies to have a majority of independent directors; and provided further that the Board of Directors shall, at no time, include more than two preferred share directors.

In the event of a nonpayment, the holders of at least 25% of the MCPS and any other series of voting preferred shares may request that a special meeting of shareholders be called to elect such preferred share directors (provided that, to the extent permitted by our Memorandum and Articles of Association, if the next annual or a special meeting of shareholders is scheduled to be held within 90 days of the receipt of such request, the election of such preferred share directors will be included in the agenda for and will be held at such scheduled annual or special meeting of shareholders). The preferred share directors will stand for reelection annually, at each subsequent annual meeting of the shareholders, so long as the holders of the MCPS continue to have such voting rights.

At any meeting at which the holders of the MCPS are entitled to elect preferred share directors, the holders of a majority of the then outstanding MCPS and all other series of voting preferred shares, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum and the vote of the holders of a majority of such MCPS and other voting preferred shares so present or represented by proxy at any such meeting at which there shall be a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the preferred share directors.

Any preferred share director may be removed at any time, with cause or without cause by the holders of record of a majority in voting power of the outstanding MCPS and any other series of voting preferred shares then outstanding (voting together as a class) when they have the voting rights described above. In the event that a nonpayment shall have occurred and there shall not have been a nonpayment remedy, any vacancy in the office of a preferred share director (other than prior to the initial election after a nonpayment) may be filled by the written consent of the preferred share director remaining in office, except in the event that such vacancy is created as a result of such preferred share director being removed or if no preferred share director remains in office, such vacancy may be filled by a vote of the holders of record of a majority in voting power of the outstanding MCPS and any other series of voting preferred shares then outstanding (voting together as a single class) when they have the voting rights described above; provided that the election of any such preferred share directors will not cause us to violate the corporate governance requirements of NYSE (or any other exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or quoted) that requires listed or quoted companies to have a majority of independent directors. The preferred share directors will each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter that comes before our Board of Directors for a vote.

Comparison of United States and Jersey Corporate Law

The following discussion is a summary of the material differences between United States and Jersey corporate law relevant to an investment in the ordinary shares. The following discussion is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change.

As in most United States jurisdictions, unless approved by a special resolution of our shareholders, our directors do not have the power to take certain actions, including an amendment of our Memorandum of

Association or Articles of Association or an increase or reduction in our authorized capital. Directors of a Jersey corporation, without shareholder approval, in certain instances may, among other things, implement certain sales, transfers, exchanges or dispositions of assets, property, parts of the business or securities of the corporation; or any combination thereof, if they determine any such action is in the best interests of the corporation, its creditors or its shareholders.

As in most United States jurisdictions, the board of directors of a Jersey corporation is charged with the management of the affairs of the corporation. In most United States jurisdictions, directors owe a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders, including a duty of care, pursuant to which directors must properly apprise themselves of all reasonably available information, and a duty of loyalty, pursuant to which they must protect the interests of the corporation and refrain from conduct that injures the corporation or its shareholders or that deprives the corporation or its shareholders of any profit or advantage. Many United States jurisdictions have enacted various statutory provisions that permit the monetary liability of directors to be eliminated or limited. Jersey law protecting the interests of shareholders may not be as protective in all circumstances as the law protecting shareholders in United States jurisdictions. Under our Articles of Association, we are required to indemnify every present and former officer of ours out of our assets against any loss or liability incurred by such officer by reason of being or having been such an officer. The extent of such indemnities shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended.

In most United States jurisdictions, the Board of Directors is permitted to authorize share repurchases without shareholder consent. Jersey law does not permit share repurchases without shareholder consent. However, our Articles of Association permit our Board of Directors to convert any of our shares that we wish to purchase into redeemable shares, and thus effectively allow our Board of Directors to authorize share repurchases (which shall be effected by way of redemption) without shareholder consent, consistent with the practice in most United States jurisdictions.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES OF DEBT SECURITIES

Aptiv PLC (“Aptiv PLC”), Aptiv Corporation (“Aptiv Corp.”) or Aptiv Global Financing Limited (“AGFL”) may offer debt securities, subject to the consent of the Jersey Financial Services Commission, if required. This prospectus describes certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities. When Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Corp. or AGFL offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, the specific terms for the securities will be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus. The prospectus supplement will also indicate whether the general terms and provisions described in this prospectus apply to a particular series of debt securities.

This prospectus refers to each of Aptiv PLC’s senior indenture, Aptiv PLC’s subordinated indenture, Aptiv Corp.’s senior indenture, Aptiv Corp.’s subordinated indenture and AGFL’s senior indenture individually as the “indenture” and collectively as the “indentures.” We refer to Aptiv PLC’s senior indenture, Aptiv Corp.’s senior indenture and AGFL’s senior indenture collectively as the “senior indentures” and each individually as a “senior indenture.” We refer to Aptiv PLC’s subordinated indenture and Aptiv Corp.’s subordinated indenture collectively as the “subordinated indentures” and each individually as a “subordinated indenture.”

We have summarized certain terms and provisions of the indentures. The summary is not complete. The indentures have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, which we have filed with the SEC. You should read the indentures for the provisions which may be important to you. The indentures are subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The senior indentures and the subordinated indentures are substantially identical, except for the provisions relating to subordination. See “—Subordinated Debt.”

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

Aptiv PLC may issue warrants to purchase its debt or equity securities or securities of third parties or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified commodities, currencies, securities or indices, or any combination of the foregoing, subject to the consent of the Jersey Financial Services Commission, if required. Aptiv Corp. may also issue warrants to purchase its debt securities or securities of third parties or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified commodities, currencies, securities or indices, or any combination of the foregoing. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between the issuer of such warrants and a warrant agent. The terms of any warrants to be issued and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of any warrants in respect of which this prospectus and such prospectus supplement is being delivered:

•

the issuer and title of such warrants;

•

the aggregate number of such warrants;

•

the price or prices at which such warrants will be issued;

•

the currency or currencies in which the price of such warrants will be payable;

•

the securities or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified commodities, currencies, securities or indices, or any combination of the foregoing, purchasable upon exercise of such warrants;

•

the price at which and the currency or currencies in which the securities or other rights purchasable upon exercise of such warrants may be purchased;

•

the date on which the right to exercise such warrants shall commence and the date on which such right shall expire;

•

if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of such warrants which may be exercised at any one time;

DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS

Aptiv PLC may, subject to the consent of the Jersey Financial Services Commission, if required, issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of:

•

debt or equity securities issued by Aptiv PLC or securities of third parties, a basket of such securities, an index or indices or such securities or any combination of the above as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement;

•

currencies; or

•

commodities.

Aptiv Corp. may issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of:

•

debt securities issued by Aptiv Corp. or securities of third parties, a basket of such securities, an index or indices or such securities or any combination of the above as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement;

•

currencies; or

•

commodities.

Each purchase contract will entitle the holder thereof to purchase or sell, and obligate the issuer thereof to sell or purchase, on specified dates, such securities, currencies or commodities at a specified purchase price, which may be based on a formula, all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Aptiv PLC or Aptiv Corp., as applicable, may, however, satisfy its obligations, if any, with respect to any purchase contract by delivering the cash value of such purchase contract or the cash value of the property otherwise deliverable or, in the case of purchase contracts on underlying currencies, by delivering the underlying currencies, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will also specify the methods by which the holders may purchase or sell such securities, currencies or commodities and any acceleration, cancellation or termination provisions or other provisions relating to the settlement of a purchase contract.

The purchase contracts may require the issuer thereof to make periodic payments to the holders thereof or vice versa, which payments may be deferred to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, and

those payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The purchase contracts may require the holders thereof to secure their obligations in a specified manner to be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Alternatively, purchase contracts may require holders to satisfy their obligations thereunder when the purchase contracts are issued. The issuer’s obligation to settle such pre-paid purchase contracts on the relevant settlement date may constitute indebtedness. Accordingly, pre-paid purchase contracts will be issued under one or more of the indentures.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, subject to the consent of the Jersey Financial Services Commission, if required, Aptiv PLC may issue units consisting of one or more purchase contracts, warrants, debt securities, preferred shares, ordinary shares or any combination of such securities and Aptiv Corp. may issue units consisting of one or more purchase contracts, warrants, debt securities or any combination of such securities. The applicable supplement will describe:

•

the issuer and the terms of the units and of the warrants, debt securities, preferred shares and ordinary shares comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be traded separately;

•

a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units; and

•

a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange or the units.

FORMS OF SECURITIES

Each debt security, warrant and unit will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities, warrants or units represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.

Global Securities

Registered Global Securities. Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Corp. or AGFL may issue the registered debt securities, warrants and units, as applicable, in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees.

If not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any securities to be represented by a registered global security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the

depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.

So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed trust preferred security or unit agreement. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed trust preferred security or unit agreement. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed trust preferred security or unit agreement. We understand that under existing industry practices, if Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Corp. or AGFL requests any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities, and any payments to holders with respect to warrants or units, represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Corp., AGFL, the trustees, the warrant agents, the unit agents or any other agent of Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Corp. or AGFL, agent of the trustees or agent of the warrant agents or unit agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.

If the depositary for any of these securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is not appointed by us within 90 days, Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Corp. or AGFL, as applicable, will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security that had been held by the depositary. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the relevant trustee, warrant agent, unit agent or other relevant agent of theirs or of Aptiv PLC, Aptiv Corp. or AGFL. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security that had been held by the depositary.
