DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
General
Each tranche of Notes is a tranche of our Medium-Term Notes, Series A. The Notes will be issued under an indenture dated as of September 5, 2013, between us and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 8, 2018, between AHFC and the Trustee (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”).The terms of the Notes include those provisions contained in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).This description supplements, and to the extent inconsistent, supersedes, the description of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities found in the accompanying prospectus and our Medium-Term Notes, Series A, described in the accompanying prospectus supplement.The following summary of specified provisions of the Indenture and the Notes does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the actual provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions contained in the Indenture of some of the terms used below, and the Notes,a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this pricing supplement and accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus are a part.
The 2022 Notes initially will be limited to an aggregate principal amount of €500,000,000 and the 2024 Notes initially will be limited to an aggregate principal amount of €1,000,000,000.See “—Further Issuances” below. The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of €100,000, and integral multiples of €1,000, in excess thereof.
The Notes will be our general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, will rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding and will be considered part of the same series of notes as any of our other Medium-Term Notes, Series A, previously issued or issued in the future. The Indenture does not limit the amount of Notes, debentures or other evidence of indebtedness that we may issue under the Indenture or otherwise and provides that debt securities under the Indenture may be issued from time to time in one or more series.
We have initially designated Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as our paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), registrar and transfer agent where Notes may be presented for payment.
The entire principal amount of the 2022 Notes will mature and become payable, together with unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon on April 20, 2022, and the entire principal amount of the 2024 Notes will mature and become payable, together with unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon on October 18, 2024 (each, a “Stated Maturity Date” with respect to the applicable tranche of Notes), in each case, unless redeemed earlier as described below under “—Optional Redemption” and “—Redemption for Tax Reasons.” The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund provisions and will not be convertible into or exchangeable for any of our equity interests.
The principal of each Note payable at maturity or earlier redemption will be paid in euro against presentation and surrender at the office or agency maintained for such purpose.
Under the Indenture, holders of the Notes will vote with holders of all other tranches of our Medium-Term Notes, Series A, as a single class. As of April 10, 2020, we had approximately $21.35 billion aggregate principal amount (approximately €19.52 billion aggregate principal amount based on the euro/U.S.$ rate of exchange of €1.00/U.S.$1.0936 as of April 10, 2020, as reported by Bloomberg), £600.00 million aggregate principal amount (approximately €684.45 million aggregate principal amount based on the euro/Sterling rate of exchange of €1.00/£0.87661 as of April 10, 2020, as reported by Bloomberg) and €2.80 billion aggregate principal amount of Medium-Term Notes, Series A, outstanding under the Indenture.
