The Notes were issued pursuant to a base indenture, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, dated as of May 16, 2017, among the Issuer, the Guarantors and Computershare Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”), as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, as amended by the ninth supplemental indenture, dated as of December 22, 2025, among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The 2031 Notes will mature on March 15, 2031 and the 2036 Notes will mature on March 15, 2036. Interest accrues on the Notes from December 22, 2025 and will be paid in cash on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2026. The Notes are senior unsubordinated unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured senior debt and with the Issuer’s guarantee of all of the existing and future senior debt of the Parent and the other Guarantors, including the Issuer’s 4.650% Senior Notes due 2027, 4.500% Senior Notes due 2028, 2.950% Senior Notes due 2029, 5.350% Senior Notes due 2033, 5.050% Senior Notes due 2048, 3.875% Senior Notes due 2049 and 5.900% Senior Notes due 2054, Trinity Acquisition plc’s 6.125% Senior Notes due 2043 and any debt under the Parent’s senior revolving credit facility.
