The Additional 2027 Notes constitute a further issuance of the Company’s 5.050% senior notes due 2027, of which $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount was issued on April 5, 2024 (the “Existing 2027 Notes”) and will form a single series with, and have the same terms (other than the issue date, the issue price and the first interest payment date) as the Existing 2027 Notes. Upon settlement, the Additional 2027 Notes will have the same CUSIP number and will trade interchangeably with the Existing 2027 Notes. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on October 31, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to pay the cash consideration for the Company’s pending acquisition of CommScope’s (NASDAQ: COMM) mobile networks businesses, specifically CommScope’s Outdoor Wireless Networks and Distributed Antenna Systems businesses (the “CommScope Acquisition”) and the payment of fees and expenses related to the CommScope Acquisition, and, to the extent the CommScope Acquisition does not close (after giving effect to a special mandatory redemption of the 2035 Notes and the 2054 Notes as described below), for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the repayment of the Company’s outstanding 2.050% senior notes due 2025 at maturity.

The 2035 Notes and the 2054 Notes are expected to be subject to a special mandatory redemption (at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2035 Notes and the 2054 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the date of initial issuance, or the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, whichever is later, to, but not including, the special mandatory redemption date) under certain circumstances if the CommScope Acquisition is not consummated or is not consummated by an agreed upon date. The Additional 2027 Notes are not subject to a special mandatory redemption.
