Issuance of Notes
On
February 13, 2019, TransDigm Inc. ("TransDigm"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransDigm Group Incorporated ("TD Group"), issued in private offerings to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act: (i) $4.0 billion combined aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2026, which
consisted of $3.8 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 at an issue price of 100% of the principal amount thereof that TransDigm agreed to sell on January 30, 2019 (the "Initial Secured Notes")
and $200 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 at an issue price of 101% of the principal amount thereof that TransDigm agreed to sell on February 1, 2019 (the "Additional Secured Notes" and,
together with the Initial Secured Notes, the "Secured Notes"); and (ii) $550 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027 (the "Subordinated Notes" and, together with the Secured Notes, the
"Notes") at an issue price of 100% of the principal amount thereof.
Secured Notes
All $4.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes constitute a single class of notes and were issued under a single
indenture, dated as of February 13, 2019 (the "Secured Notes Indenture"), among TransDigm, as issuer, TD Group, TransDigm UK Holdings plc ("TD UK") and the other subsidiaries of TransDigm named therein, as guarantors, The
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee and US collateral agent, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as UK collateral agent. The Secured Notes are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all the assets of
TransDigm, TD Group, TD UK and each other guarantor on an equal and ratable basis with any other existing and future senior secured debt, including indebtedness under TransDigm's senior secured credit facilities.
The Secured Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum, which accrues from February 13, 2019 and is payable semiannually in
arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2019. The Secured Notes mature on March 15, 2026, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Secured Notes Indenture.
TransDigm may redeem some or all of the Secured Notes at the redemption prices and on the terms specified in the
Secured Notes Indenture. If TD Group or TransDigm experiences specific kinds of changes in control or TD Group or any of its restricted subsidiaries sells certain of its assets, then TransDigm must offer to repurchase the Secured Notes on the terms
set forth in the Secured Notes Indenture.
Additionally, the Secured Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption at a
redemption price of 100% of the issue price of the Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if (a) the acquisition (the "Esterline Acquisition") of all of the outstanding stock of Esterline Technologies Corporation is not
consummated, or the purchase agreement for the Esterline Acquisition is terminated, on or prior to the later of October 9, 2019 and the End Date (as defined in the purchase agreement for the Esterline Acquisition) or (b) TransDigm notifies
the trustee in writing, or otherwise announces, that it will not pursue the consummation of the Esterline Acquisition.
The Secured Notes
are senior secured obligations of TransDigm and rank equally in right of payment with all of TransDigm's existing and future senior secured debt, including indebtedness under TransDigm's existing senior secured credit facilities, and are
senior in right of payment to all of TransDigm's existing and future senior subordinated debt, including the Subordinated Notes, TransDigm's other outstanding senior subordinated notes and TransDigm's guarantees in respect of TD
UK's outstanding senior subordinated notes. The Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by TD Group, TD UK and TransDigm's wholly-owned US subsidiaries named in the Secured Notes Indenture. The guarantees of the Secured
Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the guarantors' existing and future senior secured debt and are senior in right of payment to all of their existing and future senior subordinated debt. The Secured Notes are structurally
subordinated to all of the liabilities of TransDigm's
non-guarantor
subsidiaries.
The
Secured Notes Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit TransDigm's ability, and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries, to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, pay distributions
on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt, make
certain investments, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, consummate certain assets sales, effect a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all assets, incur or suffer to exist liens securing indebtedness and engage in certain business activities. The Secured Notes Indenture contains events of default customary for agreements of its type (with customary grace periods, as
applicable) and provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to TD Group or TransDigm, all outstanding Secured Notes will become due and payable immediately without
further action or notice. If any other type of event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes may declare all Secured Notes to be due and payable
immediately.
Subordinated Notes
The Subordinated Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 13, 2019 (the "Subordinated Notes Indenture"),
among TransDigm, as issuer, TD Group, TD UK and the other subsidiaries of TransDigm named therein, as guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.
The Subordinated Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.50% per annum, which accrues from February 13, 2019 and is payable in arrears on
March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2019. The Subordinated Notes mature on March 15, 2027, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Subordinated Notes Indenture.
TransDigm may redeem some or all of the Subordinated Notes at the redemption prices and on the terms
specified in the Subordinated Notes Indenture. If TD Group or TransDigm experiences specific kinds of changes in control or TD Group or any of its restricted subsidiaries sells certain of its assets, then TransDigm must offer to repurchase the Notes
on the terms set forth in the Subordinated Notes Indenture.
The Subordinated Notes are subordinated to all of TransDigm's existing
and future senior debt, rank equally with all of its existing and future senior subordinated debt and rank senior to all of its future debt that is expressly subordinated to the Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes are guaranteed on a senior
subordinated unsecured basis by TD Group, TD UK and TransDigm's wholly-owned US subsidiaries named in the Subordinated Notes Indenture. The guarantees of the Subordinated Notes are subordinated to all of the guarantors' existing and future
senior debt, rank equally with all of their existing and future senior subordinated debt and rank senior to all of their future debt that is expressly subordinated to the guarantees of the Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes are structurally
subordinated to all of the liabilities of TransDigm's
non-guarantor
subsidiaries.
The
Subordinated Notes Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit TransDigm's ability, and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries, to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, pay
distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt, make certain investments, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, consummate certain assets sales, effect a consolidation or merger, or sell,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, incur or suffer to exist liens securing indebtedness and engage in certain business activities. The Subordinated Notes Indenture contains events of default customary for
agreements of its type (with customary grace periods, as applicable) and provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to TD Group or TransDigm, all outstanding
Subordinated Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other type of event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Subordinated Notes may declare all Subordinated Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Subordinated Notes Registration Rights
Agreement
In connection with the issuance of the Subordinated Notes, TransDigm, TD Group, TD UK, TransDigm's other subsidiary
guarantors party thereto, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives for the initial purchasers listed therein, entered into a registration rights agreement relating to the Subordinated Notes,
dated February 13, 2019 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, TransDigm and the guarantors agreed, for the benefit of the holders of the Subordinated Notes, that they will file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") within 210 days after the date the Subordinated Notes were issued, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective within 300 days after
the date the Subordinated Notes were issued, one or more registration statements (collectively, the "exchange offer registration statement") relating to an offer to exchange the
Subordinated Notes for an issue of
SEC-registered
notes with terms identical to the Subordinated Notes (except that such exchange notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in
annual interest rate as described below).
Under certain circumstances, including, if applicable, interpretations of the staff of the SEC,
if TransDigm is not permitted to effect the exchange offer, TransDigm and the guarantors have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to cause to become effective one or more shelf registration statements (collectively, the "shelf
registration statement") relating to resales of the Subordinated Notes and to keep such shelf registration statement effective until the second anniversary of the date such shelf registration statement becomes effective, or such shorter period
that will terminate when all Subordinated Notes covered by such shelf registration statement have been sold.
If the exchange offer
registration statement is not filed on or prior to the 210th day after February 13, 2019, the shelf registration statement is not filed within 60 days after the date on which the obligation to file the shelf registration statement arises, the
exchange offer registration statement or, if required, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the 300th day after February 13, 2019, the exchange offer is not completed within 40 days after the
effective date of the exchange offer registration statement (or, if required, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective within 60 days after the filing of the shelf registration statement), or after either the exchange offer
registration statement or the shelf registration statement is declared or becomes effective, such registration statement ceases to be effective or usable, TransDigm will pay additional interest at the rate of $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal
amount of transfer-restricted Subordinated Notes for the first
90-day
period immediately thereafter, and increasing by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of transfer-restricted
Subordinated Notes for each subsequent
90-day
period, up to a maximum additional rate of 1.0% per annum thereafter until the exchange offer is completed, the shelf registration statement is declared effective
or the obligation to complete the exchange offer and/or file the shelf registration statement terminates, at which time the interest rate will revert to the interest rate on the date the Subordinated Notes were originally issued.

entirety by reference to Secured Notes Indenture, Subordinated Notes Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.3 and 4.5, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
