On May 22, 2024, Zebra Technologies Corporation (“Zebra Technologies” or the “Issuer”) issued a press release announcing the pricing of its private offering of $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.500% senior unsecured notes due 2032 (the “Notes”). The Notes will mature on June 1, 2032, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms. The offering of the Notes (the “Notes Offering”) is expected to close on May 28, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Zebra Technologies and will be guaranteed by certain of Zebra Technologies’ domestic subsidiaries.

The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. Zebra Technologies intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to repay all the outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility, which was $172 million as of March 30, 2024. Zebra Technologies intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to replenish cash on hand following the repayment of its receivables financing facility that matured on May 13, 2024. There can be no assurance that the issuance and sale of any debt securities of the Issuer will be consummated.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
