<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="1">Free cash flow is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations. Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP
financial measure. We use this financial measure for internal managerial purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. This financial measure is used in addition to and in
conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management believes that free cash flow is a useful measure to investors because it facilitates an assessment of
funds available to satisfy current and future obligations, pay dividends and fund acquisitions. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations, such as debt
service, that are not deducted from the measure. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. The following is a reconciliation of
free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measure. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:4px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

Demand for many of our existing and new medical products is, and will continue to be, affected by the extent to which government healthcare programs and private health insurers reimburse our customers for patients&#146; medical expenses in the
countries where we do business. Even when we develop or acquire a promising new product, demand for the product may be limited unless reimbursement approval is obtained from private and governmental third party payors. Internationally, healthcare
reimbursement systems vary significantly. In some countries, medical centers are constrained by fixed budgets, regardless of the extent of their patient treatment. Other countries require application for, and approval of, government or third party
reimbursement. Without both favorable coverage determinations by, and the financial support of, government and third party insurers, the market for many of our medical products would be adversely affected. </FONT></P>

anticipated, which could cause us to incur additional costs or result in business disruptions. In addition, if these measures are not successful or sustainable, we may be compelled to undertake additional realignment and cost reduction efforts,

commercial compliance environment and the need to build and maintain robust and expandable systems to comply with the different compliance and/or reporting requirements among a number of jurisdictions increases the possibility that we may

</I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">Our businesses expose us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture and marketing of our products. In
particular, our medical device products are often used in surgical and intensive care settings with seriously ill patients. In addition, many of our products are designed to be implanted in the human body for varying periods of time. Product defects
or inadequate disclosure of product-related risks with respect to products we manufacture or sell could result in patient injury or death. In addition, in connection with the divestitures of our former non-medical businesses, we agreed to retain
certain liabilities related to those businesses, which include, among other things, liability for products manufactured prior to the date on which we completed the sale of the business. Product liability and warranty claims often involve very large
or indeterminate amounts, including punitive damages. The magnitude of potential losses from product liability lawsuits may remain unknown for substantial periods of time, and the related legal defense costs may be significant. We could experience
material warranty or product liability losses in the future and incur significant costs to defend these claims. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">In addition, if any of our products are,
or are alleged to be, defective, we may voluntarily participate, or be required by regulatory authorities to participate, in a recall of that product. In the event of a recall, we may lose sales and be exposed to individual or class-action
litigation claims. Moreover, negative publicity regarding a quality or safety issue, whether accurate or inaccurate, could harm our reputation, decrease demand for our products, lead to product withdrawals or impair our ability to successfully
launch and market our products in the future. Product liability, warranty and recall costs may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. </FONT></P>

global economic conditions. The economic slowdown and disruption of credit markets that occurred in recent years led to recessionary conditions and depressed levels of consumer and commercial spending, resulting in reductions, delays or
cancellations of purchases of our products and services and continues to cause disruption in the financial markets, including diminished liquidity and credit availability. We cannot predict the duration or extent of any economic recovery or the
extent to which our customers will return to more typical spending behaviors. The continuation of the present broad economic trends of weak economic growth, constricted credit, public sector austerity measures in response to public budget deficits
and foreign currency volatility, particularly the euro, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">Additionally, our customers, particularly in the European region, have extended or delayed payments for products and services already provided, which has increased our focus on collectability with respect to our
accounts receivable from these customers. To date, we have not experienced an inordinate amount of payment defaults by our customers, and we have sufficient lending commitments in place to enable us to fund our foreseeable additional operating
needs. However, the ongoing uncertainty in the European financial markets, combined with a continuation of constrained European credit markets creates a risk that some of our European customers and suppliers may be unable to access liquidity. As

cannot make their required payments, we cannot be assured that we will continue to experience the same loss rate in the future given the volatility in the worldwide economy. If our allowance for doubtful accounts is insufficient to address
receivables we ultimately determine are uncollectible, we would be required to incur additional charges, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations. Moreover, our inability to collect outstanding receivables could adversely

<P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">In addition, as part of our strategy for growth, we have made, and may continue to make, acquisitions and divestitures and enter into strategic alliances such as
joint ventures and joint development agreements. However, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or integrate acquisitions successfully, and our strategic alliances may not prove to be successful. In
this regard, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the integration of acquired operations, technologies, services and products and the diversion of management&#146;s attention from other business concerns. Even if we are
successful in making an acquisition, the products and technologies that we acquire may not be successful or may require significantly greater resources and investments than we originally anticipated. We could also experience negative effects on our
results of operations and financial condition from acquisition-related charges, amortization of intangible assets and asset impairment charges, and other issues that could arise in connection with the acquisition of a company or business, including
issues related to internal control over financial reporting, regulatory compliance and short-term effects of increased costs on results of operations. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular
transaction, there can be no assurance that we will identify all such risks or the magnitude of the risks. In addition, prior acquisitions have resulted, and future acquisitions could result, in the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness
and other expenses. Future acquisitions may also result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities. There can be no assurance that difficulties encountered with acquisitions will not have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2"><B><I>Health care reform may have a material adverse effect on our industry and our business.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">In addition, the United States&nbsp;Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the &#147;FCPA&#148;) and similar worldwide
anti-bribery laws in non-United States&nbsp;jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-United States&nbsp;officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. The FCPA also
imposes accounting standards and requirements on publicly traded United States&nbsp;corporations and their foreign affiliates, which, among other things, are intended to prevent the diversion of corporate funds to the payment of bribes and other
improper payments, and to prevent the establishment of &#147;off the books&#148; slush funds from which such improper payments can be made. Because of the predominance of government-sponsored health care systems around the world, many of our
customer relationships outside of the United States are with government entities and are therefore subject to such anti-bribery laws. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. However, we operate in many parts of the world that
have experienced government corruption to some degree.&nbsp;Despite meaningful measures that we undertake to facilitate lawful conduct, which include training and compliance programs and internal control policies and procedures, we may not always
prevent reckless or criminal acts by our employees, distributors or other agents. In addition, we may be exposed to liability due to pre-acquisition conduct of employees, distributors or other agents of businesses or operations we may acquire.
Violations of anti-bribery laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our operations, involve significant management distraction and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows. We also could be subject to severe penalties, including criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement, further changes or enhancements to our procedures, policies and controls, personnel changes and other remedial actions. </FONT></P>

Regulations and trade sanctions against embargoed countries, which are administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control within the Department of the Treasury, as well as other laws and regulations administered by the Department of Commerce.
These regulations limit our ability to market, sell, distribute or otherwise transfer our products or technology to prohibited countries or persons. While we train our employees and contractually obligate our distributors to comply with these
regulations, we cannot assure that a violation will not occur, whether knowingly or inadvertently. Failure to comply with these rules and regulations may result in substantial civil and criminal penalties, including fines and the disgorgement of
profits, the imposition of a court-appointed monitor, the denial of export privileges and debarment from participation in United States&nbsp;government contracts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. Products
manufactured in, and sold into, foreign markets represent a significant portion of our operations. Our consolidated financial statements reflect translation of financial statements denominated in non-United States&nbsp;currencies to United
States&nbsp;dollars, our reporting currency, as well as the foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities as well as transactions denominated in currencies other than the primary currency of
the country in which the entity operates, which we refer to as &#147;non-functional currencies.&#148; When the United States&nbsp;dollar strengthens or weakens in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which we sell or manufacture
our products, such as the euro, our United States&nbsp;dollar-reported revenue and income will fluctuate. Although we have entered into forward contracts with several major financial institutions to hedge a portion of our monetary assets and
liabilities and projected cash flows denominated in non-functional currencies in order to reduce the effects of currency rate fluctuations, changes in the relative values of currencies may, in some instances, have a significant effect on our results
of operations. </FONT></P>

the amount of tax that will become payable in each of these jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate may, however, differ from the estimated amount due to numerous factors, including a change in the mix of our profitability from country to country and
changes in tax laws. Any of these factors could cause us to experience an effective tax rate significantly different from previous periods or our current expectations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and

Furthermore, our ability to establish replacement facilities or to substitute suppliers may be delayed due to regulations and requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities regarding the manufacture of our products. In addition, in the
event of delays or cancellations in shipments of raw materials by our suppliers, we may not be able to timely manufacture or supply the affected products at previous levels or at all. The manufacture of our products is highly exacting and complex,
due in part to strict regulatory requirements. Problems in the manufacturing process, including equipment malfunction, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, defective raw materials and environmental factors, could lead to launch
delays, product shortages, unanticipated costs, lost revenues and damage to our reputation. A failure to identify and address manufacturing problems prior to the release of products to our customers may also result in quality or safety

These rules require that we undertake due diligence efforts to determine whether such minerals originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo (the &#147;DRC&#148;) or an adjoining country and, if so, whether such minerals helped finance armed
conflict in the DRC or an adjoining country. We filed conflict minerals report in June 2014 and June 2015. As discussed in the most recent report, we have determined that certain of our products contain the specified minerals, and we have

determining the sources of the specified minerals used in our products. These rules could adversely affect the sourcing, supply and pricing of materials used in our products. Our customers may require our products be free of conflict minerals, and
our revenues and margins may be adversely affected if we are unable to provide assurances to our customers that our products are &#147;DRC conflict free&#148; (generally, the product does not contain conflict minerals originating in the DRC or an

condition. </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">In August 2010, we issued $400 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior subordinated notes due 2017, which we
refer to as the &#147;Convertible Notes.&#148; The Convertible Notes are convertible under certain circumstances, including the attainment of a closing price per share of our common stock equal to 130% of the conversion price (approximately $79.72)
for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">Because our closing stock price has exceeded the 130% threshold since the fourth quarter 2013, the Convertible Notes are currently convertible into shares of our
common stock.&nbsp;As a result, the Convertible Notes are classified as a current liability, which, in turn, has resulted in a material reduction of our net working capital. As of March&nbsp;27, 2016, we have received conversion notices with respect
to approximately $44.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes. At this time, we have elected the net settlement method to satisfy the conversion obligation, under which we will settle the principal amount of the Convertible
Notes in cash and settle the excess conversion value in shares, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. After giving effect to the foregoing conversion notices as well as the Exchange Transactions, approximately $136.2 million aggregate principal
amount of the Convertible Notes remain outstanding. While we believe we have sufficient liquidity to repay the principal amount due through a combination of our existing cash on hand, amounts available under our credit facility and, if necessary,
amounts provided through the capital markets, our use of these funds could adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity. For additional information regarding the conversion terms of the Convertible Notes, please refer to Note 8 to the

counterparty will not be secured by any collateral. If a hedge counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under the Convertible
Note hedge transaction with that hedge counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, the increase in our exposure will be correlated to the increase in our stock market price and in volatility of our common stock. In
addition, upon a default by a hedge counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and dilution with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of the hedge counterparties. </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">To the extent Teleflex is required to offer to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, Teleflex may not have sufficient funds to repurchase the notes in cash at such time. In addition,
Teleflex&#146;s ability to repurchase the notes for cash may be limited by law or the terms of other agreements relating to Teleflex&#146;s indebtedness outstanding at the time. The failure to make such repurchase would result in a default under the

prohibit or limit, Teleflex from repurchasing any notes as a result of a Change of Control. In the event a Change of Control occurs at a time when Teleflex is prohibited from repurchasing the notes, Teleflex could seek the consent of the holders of
such Indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the notes or could attempt to refinance such Indebtedness that contains such prohibition. If Teleflex does not obtain such consent or repay such Indebtedness, Teleflex will remain prohibited from
repurchasing the notes. In such case, Teleflex&#146;s failure to repurchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that certain change of control events with respect to
Teleflex constitute a default thereunder. If Teleflex experiences a change of control that triggers a default under the Credit Agreement, Teleflex could seek a waiver of such default or seek to refinance the Credit Agreement. In the event Teleflex
does not obtain such a waiver or refinance the Credit Agreement, such default could result in amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement being declared due and payable. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. The acquisition and/or holding of the notes by an ERISA Plan with respect to which we, a subsidiary guarantor or an underwriter is considered a party in
interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section&nbsp;406 of ERISA and/or Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an
applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or &#147;PTCEs,&#148; that may apply to provide exemptive relief for direct
or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the acquisition and/or holding of the notes. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers,
PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60 respecting life insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23 respecting transactions determined by in-house
asset managers. In addition, Section&nbsp;408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section&nbsp;4975(d)(20) of the Code provide relief from the prohibited transaction provisions of Title I of ERISA and Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code for certain transactions, provided
that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates (directly or indirectly) have or exercise any discretionary authority or control or render any investment advice with respect to the assets of any ERISA Plan

the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), utilizing a &#147;shelf&#148; registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or
more offerings from time to time. In addition, certain selling stockholders may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of our common stock or preference stock, in each case, in amounts, at prices and on terms that will be determined at the time
of any such offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell
securities under this shelf registration, to the extent required, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering, including the names of any selling stockholders, if applicable, and
may also provide you with a free writing prospectus. The prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. We also include in the prospectus supplement or any free writing
prospectus where applicable, information about material United States federal income tax considerations relating to the securities. Therefore, if there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the prospectus supplement and
any free writing prospectus, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus together with additional
information described under the heading &#147;Where You Can Find More Information&#148; and &#147;Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part contain the full text of certain contracts and other important
documents we have summarized in this prospectus. Since these summaries may not contain all the information that you may find important in deciding whether to purchase the securities we may offer, you should review the full text of these documents.
The registration statement and the exhibits can be obtained from the SEC as indicated under the heading &#147;Where You Can Find More Information&#148; below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have not authorized anyone to give any information or to make any representation other than those contained or incorporated by reference in
this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus prepared by us or on our behalf and filed with the SEC. You must not rely upon any information or representation not contained or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus or the accompanying prospectus supplement. This prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the registered
securities to which they relate, nor do this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such
offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus, any accompanying
prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus prepared by us is accurate on any date subsequent to the date set forth on the front of the document or that any information we have incorporated by reference is correct on any date subsequent to
the date of the document incorporated by reference, even though this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus is delivered or securities are sold on a later date. Our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used in this prospectus:

effective, innovative products to market that improve the safety, efficacy and quality of healthcare. Our research and development initiatives focus on developing these products for both existing and new therapeutic applications as well as
enhancements to, and line extensions of, existing products. We introduced 20 new products and line extensions during 2015. Our portfolio of existing products and products under development consists primarily of Class I and Class II devices, which
require 510(k) clearance by the United States Food and Drug Administration for sale in the United States. We believe that 510(k) clearance reduces our research and development costs and risks, and typically results in a shorter timetable for new
product introductions as compared to the premarket approval, or PMA, process that would be required for Class III devices. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Effective
April&nbsp;1, 2015, we reorganized certain of our North American businesses to better leverage our resources. As a result, we realigned our operating segments. Specifically, our Anesthesia/Respiratory North America operating segment was divided into
two operating segments, Anesthesia North America and Respiratory North America. Additionally, the businesses comprising our former Specialty operating segment (which was not a reportable segment and, therefore, was included in the &#147;All
other&#148; category in our presentation of segment information) were transferred to the Anesthesia North America, Vascular North America and Respiratory North America operating segments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of the operating segment changes described above, we have the following six reportable operating segments: Vascular North America,
Anesthesia North America, Surgical North America, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), Asia and OEM. In connection with the presentation of segment information, we will continue to present in the &#147;All other&#148; category certain operating
segments, which, effective April&nbsp;1, 2015, include, among others, the Respiratory North America operating segment. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2015 for further information regarding the reorganization.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a summary of the general terms of the debt securities. We will file a prospectus supplement that may contain additional terms
when we issue debt securities. The terms presented here, together with the terms in a related prospectus supplement, will be a description of the material terms of the debt securities. You should also read the indenture between us and Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as trustee under which the debt securities will be issued. We have filed the indenture governing debt securities with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. All capitalized
terms have the meanings specified in the indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue, from time to time, debt securities, in one or more series, that will
consist of either our senior debt, our senior subordinated debt or our subordinated debt. We refer to the subordinated debt securities and the senior subordinated debt securities together as the subordinated securities. Debt securities, whether
senior, senior subordinated or subordinated, may be issued as convertible debt securities or exchangeable debt securities. The following is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part. For each series of debt securities, the applicable prospectus supplement for the series may change and supplement the summary below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General Terms of the Indenture </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. It provides that we may issue debt securities up to the principal amount that we may authorize and may be in any currency or currency unit that we may designate. Except for
the limitations on consolidation, merger and sale of all or substantially all of our assets contained in the indenture, the terms of the indenture do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to give holders of any debt securities
protection against changes in our operations, financial condition or transactions involving us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue the debt securities issued
under the indenture as &#147;discount securities,&#148; which means they may be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. These debt securities, as well as other debt securities that are not issued at a discount, may be issued with
&#147;original issue discount,&#148; or OID, for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of interest payment and other characteristics or terms of the debt securities. Certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to debt securities
issued with OID will be described in more detail in any applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The applicable prospectus supplement for a
series of debt securities that we issue will describe, among other things, the following terms of the offered debt securities: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

the participants&#146; accounts with the respective principal amounts of the book-entry debt securities represented by such global debt security beneficially owned by such participants. The accounts to be credited will be designated by any dealers,
underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the book-entry debt securities. Ownership of book-entry debt securities will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by
the depositary for the related global debt security (with respect to interests of participants) and on the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons holding through participants). The laws of some states may require that certain

debt securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of a certificate in definitive form representing securities and will not be considered the owners or

participants to owners of beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities held through those participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of those participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will issue

global debt securities and, in that event, will issue certificated debt securities in exchange for the global debt securities of that series. Global debt securities will also be exchangeable by the holders for certificated debt securities if an
Event of Default with respect to the book-entry debt securities represented by those global debt securities has occurred and is continuing. Any certificated debt securities issued in exchange for a global debt security will be registered in such
name or names as the depositary shall instruct the trustee. We expect that such instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of book-entry debt securities relating to such global

do so, we will issue fractional interests in our debt securities, common stock or preference stock, as the case may be, in the form of depositary shares. Each depositary share would represent a fractional interest in a security of a particular
series of debt securities, a fraction of a share of common stock, a fraction of a share of a particular series of preference stock, as the case may be, and would be evidenced by a depositary receipt. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will deposit the debt securities, and shares of common stock and preference stock represented by depositary shares under a deposit
agreement between us and a depositary, which we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, as an owner of a depositary share you will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a
debt security or share of common stock or preference stock represented by the depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the debt security, common stock or preference stock, as the case may be, represented by the depositary share,

common stock or preference stock, as the case may be, in proportion to the numbers of the depositary shares owned by the applicable holders on the relevant record date. The depositary will distribute only an amount, however, that can be distributed
without attributing to any holder of depositary shares a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributed will be added to and treated as part of the next sum received by the depositary for distribution to record holders of depositary
shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If there is a non-cash distribution, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary
shares entitled to it, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. If this happens, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net sale proceeds to the holders. The deposit
agreement will also contain provisions relating to the manner in which any subscription or similar rights that we offer to holders of the preference stock will be made available to the holders of depositary shares. </P>

applicable fraction of the redemption price for each debt security or share of common stock or preference stock, as the case may be, payable in relation to the redeemed series of debt securities, common stock or preference stock. Whenever we redeem
debt securities or shares of common stock or preference stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing, as the case may be, fractional interests in the debt
securities or shares of common stock or preference stock redeemed. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot, proportionately or by any other equitable method as the
depositary may determine. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be considered

otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void. Warrants may be exercised as described in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants.
When the warrant holder makes the payment and properly completes and signs the warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as possible, forward
the debt or common or preferred equity securities that the warrant holder has purchased. If the warrant holder exercises the warrant for less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate

forth in the purchase contracts. The purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of units consisting of a purchase contract and other securities or obligations issued by us or third parties, including U.S. treasury securities, in each
case, securing the holders&#146; obligations to purchase the relevant securities under the purchase contracts. The purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the purchase contracts or units or vice versa, and such
payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations under the purchase contracts in a specified manner and, in certain circumstances, we may deliver newly issued prepaid
