Final Term Sheet
Dated: April 6, 2017
Issuer: | AutoZone, Inc. | |
Trade Date: | April 6, 2017 | |
Settlement Date: | April 18, 2017 (T+7)
It is expected that the delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on April 18, 2017, which will be the seventh business 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 three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date hereof or the next three succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle on T+7 (on April 18, 2017) 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 on the date hereof or the next three succeeding business days should consult their advisor. | |

If the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the redemption price for the Notes will equal 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding the date of redemption. | |
Change of Control: | The occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) will require AutoZone, Inc., to repurchase the Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. | |
