The 2023 euro notes will mature on July 1, 2023, the 2027 euro notes will mature on July 1, 2027, the 2030 euro notes will mature on July 1, 2030, the 2025 sterling notes will mature on July 1, 2025 and the 2031 sterling notes will mature on July 1, 2031. We will pay interest on the notes annually in arrears on July 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 2020.
The euro notes will be issued in book-entry form only, in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. The sterling notes will be issued in book-entry form only, in minimum denominations of £100,000 and integral multiples of £1,000 in excess thereof.
We may, at our option, redeem each series of the notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at the applicable redemption price described in this prospectus supplement in “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.” We may also redeem each series of the notes at our option, in whole but not in part, at the applicable redemption price described in this prospectus supplement if certain tax events occur as described in “Description of the Notes—Optional Tax Redemption.” We must offer to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event at the price described in this prospectus supplement in “Description of the Notes—Purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.”
On January 16, 2019, we entered into a merger agreement (the “merger agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire First Data Corporation (“First Data”), a global leader in commerce-enabling technology and solutions for merchants, financial institutions, and card issuers (the “merger”). We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with borrowings under our term loan facility and revolving credit facility (each as defined herein) and the proceeds of our U.S. dollar offering (as defined herein), to refinance certain outstanding indebtedness of First Data and its subsidiaries on the closing date of the merger, make cash payments in lieu of fractional shares as part of the merger consideration, and pay fees and expenses related to the merger, the refinancing, and the related transactions. We intend to use any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. Pending such uses, we may convert the net proceeds from this offering into U.S. dollars, and we may invest the net proceeds from this offering temporarily in investment grade securities, money market funds, bank deposit accounts or similar short-term investments, or use such net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
The offering of the notes is not conditioned upon the consummation of the merger; however, if (i) the merger has not been consummated pursuant to the merger agreement, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, on or prior to April 16, 2020 (or such later date as extended by agreement of the parties to the merger agreement, the “outside date”), (ii) on or prior to the outside date, the merger agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or by agreement of the parties thereto, and the merger has not been consummated, or (iii) on or prior to the outside date, we notify the trustee in writing that in our reasonable judgment the merger will not be consummated on or prior to the outside date, then we will be required to redeem all outstanding notes on the special mandatory redemption date (as defined herein) at a special mandatory redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date, as described under the heading “Description of the Notes—Special Mandatory Redemption” in this prospectus supplement.
The notes will be our unsecured senior obligations and will rank equally with our other unsecured senior indebtedness from time to time outstanding.
Each series of the notes is a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We currently intend to apply to list the notes on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”). The listing applications will be subject to approval by NASDAQ. If such listings are obtained, we have no obligation to maintain such listings for any series of the notes and we may delist any series of the notes at any time. We currently expect trading in the notes on NASDAQ to begin within 30 days after the original issue date.
Investing in the notes involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on pageS-13 of this prospectus supplement and the risk factors incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete.
