STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The notes will not be rated by any statistical rating organization. Because the notes will not be rated, you will not have available a measure of the combined financial strength of the Issuer and Mohawk
as guarantor of the notes. Although the three primary statistical rating organizations do currently issue ratings on Mohawk&#146;s financial strength on a stand-alone basis, such corporate ratings may not reflect all of the risks associated with an
investment in the notes. Any rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold any particular security, including the notes. These ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. In addition, ratings at any
time may be lowered or withdrawn in their entirety. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in Mohawk&#146;s corporate credit ratings, including any announcement that such ratings are under further review for a potential downgrade, could affect
the market value of the notes and increase our corporate borrowing costs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>There may be no public trading market for the

for the notes to be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, we cannot provide you with any assurance regarding whether the notes will become or remain listed or whether a trading market for the notes will develop or as to the liquidity or
sustainability of any such market, the ability of holders of the notes to sell their notes or the price at which holders may be able to sell their notes. If a market were to develop, the notes could trade at prices that may be higher or lower than
the initial offering price depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial performance, developments in our industry and changes in the overall market for investment grade securities. The listing application will be
subject to approval by the New York Stock Exchange. If such a listing is obtained, we have no obligation to maintain such listing, and we may delist the notes at any time. The underwriter has advised us that they currently intend to make a market in
the notes. However, the underwriter is not obligated to do so, and any market-making with respect to the notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. If no active trading market develops, you may not be able to resell your notes at their

most if its operations through its subsidiaries. The Issuer currently has no subsidiaries and does not engage in any other business activities or operations of its own other than financing activities. The Issuer&#146;s principal source of funds is
its financing activities. Mohawk&#146;s principal source of funds, including for payment of principal and interest (including any additional amounts) on the guarantee, depends on earnings and cash flows of its subsidiaries and the ability of its
subsidiaries to pay dividends or advance or repay funds to it. In addition, any of Mohawk&#146;s rights (including the rights of the holders of the notes) to participate in the assets of any of its subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) upon any
liquidation or reorganization of any such subsidiary will be subject to the prior claims of that subsidiary&#146;s creditors (except to the extent that Mohawk may itself be a creditor of that subsidiary), including that subsidiary&#146;s trade
creditors and Mohawk&#146;s creditors who have obtained guarantees from such subsidiaries. As a result, the guarantee and the notes will be structurally subordinated to the obligations and liabilities of all of Mohawk&#146;s subsidiaries (other than
the Issuer&#146;s obligations and liabilities with respect to the notes). As of July 1, 2017, our subsidiaries, excluding the Issuer, had total indebtedness of $1,122.5 million. As of July&nbsp;1, 2017, after giving effect to the offering and the
use of proceeds therefrom, our subsidiaries, excluding the Issuer, had total indebtedness of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million. In addition, the indenture governing the notes will permit Mohawk&#146;s
subsidiaries, including the Issuer, to incur additional indebtedness, including an unlimited amount of unsecured indebtedness, and will not contain any limitation on the amount of other liabilities, such as trade payables, that may be incurred by
its subsidiaries (although our senior credit facility does impose limitations on the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT

the possibility of the imposition or subsequent modification of foreign exchange controls. These risks generally depend on factors over which we and the Issuer have no control, such as economic, financial and political events and the supply of and
demand for the relevant currencies. In the past, rates of exchange between euro and certain currencies have been highly volatile, and each holder should be aware that volatility may occur in the future. Fluctuations in any particular exchange rate
that have occurred in the past, however, are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations in the rate that may occur during the term of the notes. Depreciation of euro against the holder&#146;s home currency would result in a decrease in the effective
yield of the notes below its coupon rate and, in certain circumstances, could result in a loss to the holder. If you are a holder subject to United States income tax, see &#147;Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations&#151;Foreign

must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law. We refer to this date as the Change of Control Payment Date. The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of
the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of notes electing to have notes repurchased pursuant to
a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their notes, with the form entitled &#147;Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase&#148; on the reverse of the note completed, to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice, or

December&nbsp;31, 2018, gross proceeds from the sale or other disposal of property that can produce U.S.-source interest as well as certain &#147;foreign passthru payments,&#148; to the extent such payments are treated as attributable to certain

payments&#148; are filed generally would be &#147;grandfathered&#148; unless such obligations are materially modified after such date. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, applicable final Treasury Regulations have not been filed.
Accordingly, if the Issuer is treated as a foreign financial institution, FATCA would apply to payments on the notes only if there is a significant modification of the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes after the expiration of this
grandfathering period. Non-U.S. governments have entered into, and others are expected to enter into, intergovernmental agreements with the United States to implement FATCA in a manner that alters the rules described herein. U.S. Holders should
consult their own tax advisors on how these rules may apply to their investment in the notes. In the event any withholding under FATCA is imposed with respect to any payments on the notes, there generally will be no additional amounts payable to
compensate for the withheld amount. </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We intend to apply to list the notes on the NYSE. The listing application will be subject to approval by the NYSE. We currently
expect trading in the notes on the NYSE to begin within 30 days after the original issue date. If such a listing is obtained, we have no obligation to maintain such listing, and we may delist the notes at any time. The underwriter is under no
obligation to make a market in the notes and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. We cannot assure the liquidity of the trading market for the notes or that an active public market for the notes will develop. If
an active public trading market for the notes does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected. If the notes are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on prevailing

of the notes, MUFG Securities EMEA plc, as stabilizing manager (or persons acting on its behalf), may over-allot the notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the price of the notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise
prevail. However, there is no assurance that the stabilizing manager (or persons acting on its behalf) will undertake stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final
terms of the offer of the notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 calendar days after the issuance date of the notes and 60 calendar days after the date of the allotment of the notes.
Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be conducted by the Stabilizing Manager (or persons acting on its behalf) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules. Any loss or profit sustained as a consequence of any such over-allotment or
stabilization shall be for the account of the stabilizing manager. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The underwriter also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs

otherwise. If the underwriter commences any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The underwriter and

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Either Mohawk, Mohawk Capital Finance or Mohawk Capital Luxembourg may issue debt securities. When describing any debt securities below,
references to &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us&#148; or &#147;our&#148; refer to the issuer of those securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The debt securities of Mohawk,
Mohawk Capital Finance and Mohawk Capital Luxembourg may be either senior or senior subordinated debt securities, as described in greater detail below. When we refer to &#147;senior debt securities,&#148; we mean the senior debt securities of
Mohawk, the senior debt securities of Mohawk Capital Finance and the senior debt securities of Mohawk Capital Luxembourg unless the context requires otherwise. When we refer to &#147;senior subordinated debt securities,&#148; we mean the senior
subordinated debt securities of Mohawk, the senior subordinated debt securities of Mohawk Capital Finance and the senior subordinated debt securities of Mohawk Capital Luxembourg unless the context requires otherwise. When we refer to &#147;debt
securities,&#148; we mean both the senior debt securities and the senior subordinated debt securities, unless the context requires otherwise. When we refer to a series of debt securities, we mean a series issued under the applicable indenture, as
described below. When we refer to the prospectus supplement, we mean the prospectus supplement describing the specific terms of the debt security you purchase. The terms used in the prospectus supplement have the meanings described in this
prospectus, unless otherwise specified. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are not limited in the amount of debt securities that we may issue, and we may issue as many
distinct series of debt securities as we wish. Additionally, the provisions of each indenture allow us to &#147;reopen&#148; a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither the senior debt securities nor the senior subordinated debt securities will be secured by any property or assets of Mohawk, Mohawk
Capital Finance, Mohawk Capital Luxembourg or any of their subsidiaries (Mohawk Capital Finance and Mohawk Capital Luxembourg have no subsidiaries). Thus, by owning a debt security, you are an unsecured creditor of Mohawk, Mohawk Capital Finance or
Mohawk Capital Luxembourg, as the case may be. As a result, both the senior debt securities and the senior subordinated debt securities will be structurally subordinate to the secured indebtedness of Mohawk, Mohawk Capital Finance or Mohawk Capital
Luxembourg, as the case may be, to the extent of the value of the applicable collateral. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Senior or Senior Subordinated Debt Securities </B></P>

Finance&#146;s or Mohawk Capital Luxembourg&#146;s &#147;senior indebtedness,&#148; as defined in the applicable indenture. The prospectus supplement for any series of senior subordinated debt securities will set forth the subordination terms of
such debt securities, as well as the aggregate amount of senior indebtedness outstanding as of the end of the issuer&#146;s most recent fiscal quarter. The prospectus supplement will also set forth limitations, if any, on the issuance of additional
senior indebtedness. Mohawk&#146;s senior indebtedness is, and any additional indebtedness of Mohawk will be, structurally subordinate to the indebtedness of Mohawk Capital Finance and Mohawk Capital Luxembourg. Mohawk Capital Finance&#146;s and
Mohawk Capital Luxembourg&#146;s indebtedness is, and any additional indebtedness of Mohawk Capital Finance and Mohawk Capital Luxembourg will be, structurally senior to any indebtedness of Mohawk (except to the extent that Mohawk Capital Finance or

Mohawk Capital Luxembourg, whether or not predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. Our Luxembourg counsel has advised us that, given the absence of an applicable convention between
Luxembourg and the United States providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, a judgment rendered by a U.S. court against Mohawk Capital Finance or Mohawk Capital Luxembourg (separate and
apart from Mohawk as guarantor of any notes issued by Mohawk Capital Finance or Mohawk Capital Luxembourg) or their Luxembourg directors will not be <I>ipso facto</I> recognized and enforced by the courts of Luxembourg. In order to enforce such a
judgment against Mohawk Capital Finance or Mohawk Capital Luxembourg or their Luxembourg directors, you would have to file a claim with a court of competent jurisdiction in Luxembourg. In the course of those proceedings, you would be permitted to
submit the judgment rendered by a U.S. court. If the Luxembourg court were to find that the jurisdiction of the U.S. court was based on grounds that are internationally acceptable and that the enforcement procedures set forth in Article 678 <I>et
seq</I>. of the Luxembourg New Code of Civil Procedure were observed, the Luxembourg court would in principle grant the <I>exequatur</I> to the final judgment of the U.S. court unless such judgment would not meet the following requirements
:&nbsp;(i) the foreign judgment must be enforceable in the country of origin, (ii)&nbsp;the court of origin must have had jurisdiction both according to its own domestic laws and to the Luxembourg&nbsp;conflict of jurisdiction rules,
(iii)&nbsp;regularity of the procedural rules in light of the laws of the country of origin, (iv)&nbsp;the foreign procedure and decision must not have violated the rights of defense and due process norms, (v)&nbsp;the foreign court must have
applied the law which is designated by the Luxembourg conflict of laws rules, or, at least, the judgment must not contravene the principles underlying these rules, (vi)&nbsp;the considerations of the foreign judgment as well as the judgment as such
must not contravene Luxembourg international public order, and (vii)&nbsp;the foreign judgment must not have been rendered subsequent to an evasion of Luxembourg law (&#147;<I>fraude &agrave; la loi&#148;</I>). </P>
