persons in whose names the notes are registered at the close of business on the preceding January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a business day), as the case may be; however, interest payable on an Interest Payment Date that falls on a day that is not a business day, will be paid on the next succeeding business day, and interest payable at maturity will be paid to the person to whom principal is payable (i.e., the holder on the maturity date).
Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Further Issuances
We may from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the notes, issue additional senior debt securities, having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the notes offered hereby except for the issue price and issue date and, in some cases, the first interest payment date and the initial interest accrual date, provided that if any such additional senior debt securities are not fungible with the notes offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional senior debt securities will be issued with a separate CUSIP number. Any such additional senior debt securities will, together with the then-outstanding notes, constitute a single class of notes under the senior indenture, and as such will vote together on matters under the senior indenture.
Ranking of Notes
The notes will be unsecured and unsubordinated and will rank equally in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. from time to time outstanding. As of October 2, 2020, without giving effect to this offering or the use of proceeds therefrom, we had a carrying value of approximately $6,927 million of long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt, all of which was unsecured indebtedness that would rank equally with the notes.
Optional Redemption
At any time and from time to time prior to the Par Call Date (as defined below), we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at our option, at a “make-whole” redemption price equal to the greater of:
(1)
| 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed; and |
(2)
| the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (other than interest accruing to the date of redemption and assuming for these purposes that the notes matured on the Par Call Date), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points. |
In each case, we will pay accrued interest on the principal amount of the notes being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date of the notes being redeemed.
At any time and from time to time on or after the Par Call Date, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued interest on the principal amount of the notes being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date of the notes being redeemed.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the notes being redeemed, and assuming for these purposes that the notes matured on the Par Call Date (“Remaining Life”), that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life of such notes.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that we appoint to act as the Independent Investment Banker from time to time.
“Par Call Date” means October 15, 2030 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date).
