Pricing of $1,450 Million Senior Secured Notes Offering

On August 9, 2023, TransDigm Group Incorporated (“TransDigm Group”) priced the previously announced offering of $1,450 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) by TransDigm Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Issuer”). The Notes will be issued at 100.000% of their principal amount. The offering of the Notes is expected to close on August 18, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.

On the issue date, the Notes will be guaranteed, on a senior secured basis, by TransDigm Group and each of the Issuer's direct and indirect restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Issuer's senior secured credit facilities. From and after the issue date, the Notes will be guaranteed, with certain exceptions, on a senior secured basis by TransDigm Group and each of the Issuer's direct and indirect restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Issuer's senior secured credit facilities or that issues or guarantees any capital markets indebtedness of the Issuer or any of the guarantors in an aggregate principal amount of at least $200 million.

The Notes and related guarantees are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been (and will not be) registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws.

TransDigm Group intends to use the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem all of its outstanding 6.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Subordinated Notes”) and all of TD UK’s outstanding 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “UK Notes”) and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses.
