principal value of debt and finance leases outstanding. This amount of indebtedness and our debt service requirements may limit our financial flexibility to access additional capital and make capital expenditures and other investments in our
business, to withstand economic downturns and interest rate increases, to plan for or react to changes in our business and our industry, and to comply with the financial and other covenants of our debt instruments. Further, our ability to comply
with these financial and other covenants may be affected by changes in economic or business conditions or other events that are beyond our control. If we do not comply with these covenants, we may be required to take actions such as reducing or
delaying capital expenditures, reducing or eliminating dividends or stock repurchases, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing all or part of our existing debt, or seeking additional equity capital. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>We may be able to incur substantially more debt, which could exacerbate the risks associated with our indebtedness. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The Notes and the existing terms of our other debt do not
prohibit us from incurring significant additional indebtedness in the future, subject to maintenance of certain financial covenants in our credit facilities. The incurrence of additional debt by us may have important consequences for noteholders,
including by making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the Notes, a loss in market value of the Notes and a risk that the credit rating of the Notes is lowered or withdrawn. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>We conduct a substantial portion of our operations through our subsidiaries. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our cash flow and our ability to service debt, including the Notes, depends substantially on the distribution of earnings, loans or other payments made by our
subsidiaries to us. If distributions from our subsidiaries to us were eliminated, delayed, reduced or otherwise impaired, our ability to make payments on the Notes would be substantially impaired. </P>

required to offer to purchase each holder&#146;s Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase date. If such a change of control triggering event occurs, we may not have
sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the Notes that holders tender to us in connection with a change of control offer. The instruments governing our credit facilities also provide that a change of control will be a default that allows
the lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings thereunder, and we also have other debt that must be repurchased upon a change of control. Any future debt agreements may contain similar provisions. Our failure to purchase the Notes as required
under the indenture governing the Notes would be a default, which could have material adverse consequences for us. See &#147;Description of Notes &#151; Change of Control Triggering Event&#148; in this prospectus supplement. </P>

If any or all of our subsidiaries become the subject of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, the creditors of the subsidiary or subsidiaries, including debt holders, must be paid in full out of the subsidiary&#146;s or subsidiaries&#146;

federal income tax consequences and, in the case of a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder (as defined below), certain material U.S. federal estate tax consequences, of the purchase, ownership and disposition of a Note. This
description is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), Treasury regulations issued thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date of this prospectus
supplement. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretation, possibly on a retroactive basis. We cannot assure you that a change in law will not alter significantly the tax considerations in this summary. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This description applies to you only if you are a beneficial owner of a Note who holds the Note as a capital asset and you acquire your Note in this offering
for a price equal to its issue price. The issue price of the Notes is the first price at which a substantial amount of the Notes is sold other than to bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters,
placement agents or wholesalers. This section does not describe the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences applicable to prospective purchasers of the Notes that are subject to special treatment, including, but not limited to, taxpayers
subject to the alternative minimum tax, U.S. expatriates or former long-term U.S. residents, banks or other financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, partnerships or other pass-through entities,
individual retirement and other tax deferred accounts, brokers, dealers and traders in securities or currencies, insurance companies, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> organizations, persons holding Notes as part of a conversion,
constructive sale, or other integrated transaction or a hedge, straddle or synthetic security, U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar or persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross
income for United States federal income tax purposes with respect to the Notes as a result of such item being taken into account in an applicable financial statement. </P>

treatment of a partner generally will depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-U.S.</FONT> partnerships also generally are
subject to special tax documentation requirements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the particular U.S. federal income tax and

&#147;Description of Notes &#151; Change of Control Triggering Event&#148;), we may be obligated to pay you amounts in excess of the principal and stated interest payable on the Notes. The obligation to pay such redemption premiums may implicate the
provisions of Treasury regulations relating to &#147;contingent payment debt instruments.&#148; If the Notes were deemed to be contingent payment debt instruments, you might, among other things, be required to treat any gain recognized on the sale
or other disposition of a Note as ordinary income rather than as capital gain, and the timing and amount of income inclusion may be different from the consequences discussed in this prospectus supplement. We intend to take the position that the
likelihood that such payments will be made is remote or the potential amount of such payments is incidental and that the Notes, therefore, are not subject to the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments. This determination will be binding
on you unless you explicitly disclose on a statement attached to your timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year that includes the acquisition date of the Note that your determination is different. The Internal Revenue Service
(the &#147;IRS&#148;), however, may take a contrary position from that described above, in which case the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you could differ materially and adversely from those described below. The remainder of this discussion

transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of Notes than the underwriters are required to purchase in
the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Notes while the offering is in progress. </P>

received by it because the other underwriters have repurchased Notes sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These activities by the underwriters, as well as other purchases made by the underwriters for their own accounts, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect
the market price of the Notes. As a result, the price of the Notes may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These
transactions may be effected in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market or otherwise. </P>

must settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that
the Notes initially will settle in T+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; business days, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult

activities may involve securities and/or instruments of Republic. If any of the underwriters and their affiliates has a lending relationship with us, certain of these underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of these
underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions that consist
of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the Notes. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Notes. The
underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views </P>

indeterminate amount of any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer, which is not meant to be a complete description
of any security. Each time that securities are sold, a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of that offering will be provided, including the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities offered. The
prospectus supplement and any other offering material may also add to, update or change information contained in this prospectus or in documents we have incorporated by reference into this prospectus. We urge you to read both this prospectus and any
prospectus supplement and any other offering material (including any free writing prospectus) prepared by or on behalf of us for a specific offering of securities, together with additional information described under the heading &#147;Documents

supplement is delivered or securities are sold on a later date. Neither the delivery of this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement nor any distribution of securities pursuant to such documents shall, under any circumstances, create any
implication that there has been no change in the information set forth in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement or in our affairs since the date of this prospectus or any prospectus supplement. </P>

which this prospectus is a part, together with all other information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. The risks and uncertainties described herein and therein are not the only ones
facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may occur. The occurrence of any of those risks and uncertainties may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows or business. In that case, the price or value of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. For more information, see &#147;Documents Incorporated by Reference into this Prospectus&#148; on

global securities deposited with The Depository Trust Company (&#147;DTC&#148;) and registered in the name of DTC&#146;s nominee. Except under the circumstances described below, we will not issue debt securities in definitive form. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon the issuance of a global security, DTC will credit on its book-entry registration and transfer system the accounts of persons designated
by the underwriters or other purchasers with the respective principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the global security. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security is limited to persons that have accounts with DTC or its
nominee (&#147;participants&#148;) or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership may be effected only through, records maintained
by DTC or its nominee (for interests of persons who are participants) and records maintained by participants (for interests of persons who are not participants). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC or its nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by a global security for all purposes under
the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have debt securities represented by the global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive
physical delivery of debt securities in definitive form, and will not be considered the owners of record or holders of debt securities under the indenture. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will make principal and interest payments on each series of debt securities registered in the name of DTC or its nominee to DTC or its
nominee as the registered holder of the relevant global security. None of us, the trustee, any paying agent nor the registrar for the debt securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payment
made on account of, beneficial interests in a global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest, will credit immediately participants&#146; accounts
with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the relevant global security as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of
beneficial interests in a global security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in
&#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of such participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If DTC at any time is unwilling or unable to continue as a
depositary and we do not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days, we will issue debt securities in definitive form in exchange for the entire global security. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole discretion determine not to have any
particular series of debt securities represented by a global security and, in such event, we will issue debt securities in definitive form in exchange for the entire global security with respect to such series. In any such instance, an owner of a
beneficial interest in a global security will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of debt securities represented by such global security equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such debt securities
registered in the owner&#146;s name. Debt securities so issued in definitive form will be issued as registered debt securities in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless we specify otherwise. </P>

such stockholder, and as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, (2)&nbsp;all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings
required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section&nbsp;14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (3)&nbsp;a description of certain

other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made and (5)&nbsp;a written representation and agreement from the nominee that the nominee does not have certain conflicts of interest. Under the stockholder notice procedure, a

stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, the text of the proposed business, the reasons for conducting such business at such meeting, and any interest of such stockholder in the business so proposed. If the chairman of the meeting
determines that a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was not made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the stockholder notice procedure, or the stockholder (or a qualified representative thereof) does

our outstanding common stock for at least the previous three years would be permitted to include up to 25% of the number of director nominees in our proxy materials for our annual meeting of stockholders. Under the proxy access procedure, for the

of a record date in respect of corporate action proposed to be taken by our stockholders by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Our bylaws provide that any person seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written
consent without a meeting must, by written notice addressed to our Secretary, request the board of directors to fix a record date. Our bylaws state that our board of directors must adopt a resolution fixing such requested record date within 10 days
after the date upon which the request is received. If our board of directors fails within 10 days after we receive such notice to fix a record date, the bylaws provide that the record date will be the first day on which a signed written consent
setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to us unless prior action by our board of directors is required under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;), in which event the record date will be at the
close of business on the date on which our board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. Our bylaws also provide that nationally recognized independent inspectors of elections will promptly conduct a ministerial review of the
validity of any written consents of stockholders duly delivered to us, and no action by written consent without a meeting will be effective until such date as the independent inspectors certify to us that the duly delivered consents represent at
least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take the corporate action. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Stockholder Meetings</I>. Our bylaws provide
that our board of directors and the chairman of a meeting may adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of stockholder meetings as they deem appropriate (including the establishment of an agenda, rules relating to presence at the meeting of
persons other than stockholders, restrictions on entry at the meeting after commencement thereof and the imposition of time limitations for questions by participants at the meeting). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Preferred Stock</I>. Our Certificate authorizes our board of directors to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or
more series and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, privileges, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions thereof. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that the ability of our board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock provides us
with flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions, and in meeting other corporate needs that might arise. The authorized shares of the preferred stock, as well as shares of common stock, will be available for issuance
without further action by our stockholders, unless action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. The New York Stock Exchange currently requires
stockholder approval as a prerequisite to listing shares in several instances, including in some cases where the present or potential issuance of shares could result in a 20&nbsp;percent increase in the number of share of common stock outstanding or
in the amount of voting securities outstanding. If the approval of our stockholders is not required for the issuance of shares of preferred stock or common stock, our board of directors may determine not to seek stockholder approval. </P>

of directors, in so acting, could issue preferred stock having terms that could discourage an acquisition attempt through which an acquirer may be able to change the composition of our board of directors, including a tender offer or other
transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then current market price of such stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Amendment of Certain Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws</I>. Under the DGCL, the stockholders of a corporation have
the right to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws and, with the approval of the board of directors, the certificate of incorporation of a corporation. In addition, if the certificate of incorporation so provides, the bylaws may be adopted, amended or
repealed by the board of directors. Our Certificate provides that the bylaws may be amended or repealed by our board of directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Antitakeover Legislation</I>. Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL provides that, subject to certain exceptions, a corporation shall not engage in
any &#147;business combination&#148; with any &#147;interested stockholder&#148; for a three-year period following the time that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder unless: (1)&nbsp;prior to such time, the board of directors of the
corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (2)&nbsp;upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested
stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding certain shares); or (3)&nbsp;on or subsequent to such time, the business combination is
approved by the board of directors of the corporation and by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL generally defines an &#147;interested
stockholder&#148; to include (x)&nbsp;any person that is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock
of the corporation at any time within three years immediately prior to the relevant date and (y)&nbsp;the affiliates and associates of any such person. Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL generally defines a &#147;business combination&#148; to include
(i)&nbsp;any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder, (ii)&nbsp;mergers and sales or other dispositions of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation with or to an interested stockholder, (iii)&nbsp;certain
transactions resulting in the issuance or transfer to the interested stockholder of any stock of the corporation or its subsidiaries, (iv)&nbsp;certain transactions that would result in increasing the proportionate share of the stock of the
corporation or its subsidiaries owned by the interested stockholder and (v)&nbsp;receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit (except proportionately as a stockholder) of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under certain circumstances, Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL makes it more difficult for a person who would be an interested stockholder to
effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period, although the certificate of incorporation or stockholder-adopted bylaws may exclude a corporation from the restrictions imposed thereunder. Neither our Certificate nor
our bylaws exclude our company from the restrictions imposed under Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL. We anticipate that the provisions of Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL may encourage companies interested in acquiring our company to negotiate in advance
with our board of directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if our board of directors approves, prior to the time the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, either the business combination or the transaction
which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. </P>
