(&#147;<U>Starbucks</U>&#148; or the &#147;<U>Company</U>&#148;) entered into an underwriting agreement (the &#147;<U>Underwriting Agreement</U>&#148;) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner&nbsp;&amp; Smith Incorporated, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and
Morgan Stanley&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, under which Starbucks agreed to issue and sell to the several underwriters $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company&#146;s 3.850% Senior
Notes due October&nbsp;1, 2023 (the &#147;<U>Notes</U>&#148;). The foregoing disclosure is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes are being issued under the Indenture, dated as of August&nbsp;23, 2007 (the &#147;<U>Base Indenture</U>&#148;), by and between the
Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the &#147;<U>Trustee</U>&#148;), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September&nbsp;6, 2013 (the &#147;<U>Supplemental Indenture</U>&#148; and, together with
the Base Indenture, the &#147;<U>Indenture</U>&#148;), by and between the Company and the Trustee. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Starbucks will pay interest on the
Notes on each April&nbsp;1 and October&nbsp;1, beginning on April&nbsp;1, 2014. The Notes will mature on October&nbsp;1, 2023. Before July&nbsp;1, 2023, Starbucks may, at any time, redeem the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of such series, plus a &#147;make whole&#148; premium described in the Indenture. On or after July&nbsp;1, 2023, Starbucks may redeem the Notes at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event (which involves the occurrence of both a change of control and a
below investment grade rating of the notes by Moody&#146;s and S&amp;P), Starbucks will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes will be the Company&#146;s senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with the Company&#146;s other unsecured and
unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding. The Notes are subject to customary covenants and events of default, as set forth in the Indenture. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing disclosure is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture. The Base Indenture
was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company&#146;s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (SEC Registration No.&nbsp;333-190955) (the &#147;<U>Registration Statement</U>&#148;) and is incorporated herein by reference. The Supplemental Indenture is attached
hereto as Exhibit 4.2 and incorporated herein by reference. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, in connection with the public offering of the Notes, Starbucks
is filing certain items listed below as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K for the purpose of incorporating such items into to the Registration Statement. Such items filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K are hereby

Other Events.
On September 3, 2013, Starbucks Corporation
("
Starbucks
" or the "
Company
") entered into an underwriting agreement (the "
Underwriting Agreement
") with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, under which Starbucks agreed to issue and sell to the several underwriters $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.850% Senior
Notes due October 1, 2023 (the "
Notes
"). The foregoing disclosure is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
The Notes are being issued under the Indenture, dated as of August 23, 2007 (the "
Base Indenture
"), by and between the
Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the "
Trustee
"), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 6, 2013 (the "
Supplemental Indenture
" and, together with
the Base Indenture, the "
Indenture
"), by and between the Company and the Trustee.
Starbucks will pay interest on the
Notes on each April 1 and October 1, beginning on April 1, 2014. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2023. Before July 1, 2023, Starbucks may, at any time, redeem the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of such series, plus a "make whole" premium described in the Indenture. On or after July 1, 2023, Starbucks may redeem the Notes at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event (which involves the occurrence of both a change of control and a
below investment grade rating of the notes by Moody's and S&P), Starbucks will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
The Notes will be the Company's senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with the Company's other unsecured and
unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding. The Notes are subject to customary covenants and events of default, as set forth in the Indenture.
The foregoing disclosure is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture. The Base Indenture
was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (SEC Registration No. 333-190955) (the "
Registration Statement
") and is incorporated herein by reference. The Supplemental Indenture is attached
hereto as Exhibit 4.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, in connection with the public offering of the Notes, Starbucks
is filing certain items listed below as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K for the purpose of incorporating such items into to the Registration Statement. Such items filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K are hereby
incorporated into the Registration Statement by reference.
