We are offering $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 6.950% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 6.950% per annum. We will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning March 15, 2024. The Notes will mature on March 15, 2029.

We may, at our option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time or from time to time prior to their maturity at the redemption price described in this prospectus supplement, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. See “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption”. If we experience a change of control triggering event, as described in this prospectus supplement, each holder of the Notes may require us to repurchase some or all of its Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. See “Description of the Notes— Certain Covenants—Offer to Repurchase Notes Upon Change of Control Triggering Event”.

The Notes will be our direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. In addition, the Notes will not be guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries and will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. The Notes will be issued only in registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Investing in the Notes involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement and in the documents that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We do not intend to apply to list the Notes on any securities exchange or for quotation on any automated quotation system. We expect that the Notes will be ready for delivery in book-entry form only through The Depository Trust Company and its direct participants, including Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, on or about November 16, 2023.

Neither we nor the underwriters have authorized anyone to provide any information other than that contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or in any free writing prospectus filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Neither we nor the underwriters take any responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. We are not, and the underwriters are not, making an offer to sell the notes in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus or any document incorporated by reference is accurate as of any date other than the respective dates on the front of such documents. Our business, properties, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the Notes we are currently offering and certain other matters relating to us and our financial condition. The second part, the prospectus, gives more general information about securities we may offer from time to time, some of which does not apply to the Notes we are currently offering. Generally, when we refer to the prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. The information in this prospectus supplement supersedes any inconsistent information included in the accompanying prospectus.

Prior to any purchase of Notes hereunder, you should read the prospectus, together with the additional information referred to under “Documents Incorporated by Reference”.

No person is authorized to give any information or to make any representation that is different from, or in addition to, those contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized. Neither the delivery of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, nor any sale made hereunder, shall under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in our affairs since the date of this prospectus supplement or that the information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is correct as of any time subsequent to the date of such information.

The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the offering of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell, or an invitation on our behalf or on behalf of the underwriters or any of them, to subscribe to or purchase any of the Notes, and may not be used for or in connection with an offer or solicitation by anyone, in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. See “Underwriting.”

All references to “Polaris”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” in the prospectus mean Polaris Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and other entities controlled by Polaris Inc. except in “Description of the Notes” and where it is clear from the context that the term means only the issuer, Polaris Inc.

You should not consider any information in the prospectus to be investment, legal or tax advice. You should consult your own counsel, accountants and other advisers for legal, tax, business, financial and related advice regarding the purchase of any of the Notes offered by this prospectus supplement.

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about November 16, 2023, which will be the fifth business day following the date hereof (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on any day prior to two business days before delivery will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.

This prospectus incorporates documents by reference which are not presented in or delivered with this prospectus.

All documents that we file pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), after the date of this prospectus supplement and prior to the termination of the offering of the Notes described in this prospectus supplement are incorporated by reference into and are deemed to be a part of the prospectus from the date of filing of those documents; provided, however, that we are not incorporating by reference any documents, portions of documents or other information that is deemed to have been “furnished” and not “filed” with the SEC.

The following documents, which we have filed with the SEC, are incorporated by reference into the prospectus (other than, in each case, documents or information deemed to have been furnished and not filed in accordance with SEC rules, including Current Reports on Form 8-K furnished under Item 2.02 and Item 7.01):

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into the prospectus will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of the prospectus to the extent that a statement contained in the prospectus or any other subsequently filed document that is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the prospectus modifies or supersedes the statement. Any statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of the prospectus.

The documents incorporated by reference into the prospectus are available from us upon your request. We will provide a copy of any and all of the information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus to any person, without charge, upon written or oral request. If exhibits to the documents incorporated by reference into the prospectus are not themselves specifically incorporated by reference into the prospectus, then the exhibits will not be provided. You should not rely on or assume the accuracy of any representation or warranty in any agreement that we have filed as an exhibit to the registration statement or incorporated by reference into the prospectus because such representation or warranty may be subject to exceptions and qualifications contained in separate disclosure schedules, may have been included in such agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties to the particular transaction, may apply standards of materiality in a manner different from what may be viewed as material to you or other investors or may no longer continue to be true as of any given date.

Requests for documents relating to us should be directed to:

The statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein contain “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These “forward-looking statements” can generally be identified in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein because the context of the statement will include words such as “believes,” “should,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans or trends, objectives or goals, such as future sales, shipments, inventory levels, consumer demand, net income, net income per share, future cash flows and capital requirements, operational initiatives, pricing actions, tariffs, currency fluctuations, interest rates, and commodity costs, are also forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements.

Potential risks and uncertainties include such factors as the severity and duration of the supply-chain related constraints currently impacting us; our ability to successfully source necessary parts and materials on a timely basis; our ability to manufacture and deliver products to dealers to meet demand; our ability to identify and meet optimal dealer inventory levels; our ability to accurately forecast and sustain consumer demand; our ability to mitigate increasing input costs through pricing or other measures; global pandemics and the resulting impact on our business, supply chain, and the global economy; our ability to successfully implement its manufacturing operations strategy and supply chain initiatives; product offerings, promotional activities and pricing strategies by competitors that make our products less attractive to consumers; our ability to strategically invest in innovation and new products, including as compared to our competitors; economic conditions that impact consumer spending or consumer credit including recessionary conditions and changes in interest rates; disruptions in manufacturing facilities; product recalls and/or warranty expenses; product rework costs; impact of changes in our stock price on incentive compensation plan costs; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; environmental and product safety regulatory activity; effects of weather; commodity costs; freight and tariff costs (tariff relief or ability to mitigate tariffs); changes to international trade policies and agreements; uninsured product liability and class action claims, including claims seeking punitive damages, and other litigation expenses incurred due to the nature of our business; uncertainty in the retail and wholesale credit markets; performance of affiliate partners; changes in tax policy; relationships with dealers and suppliers; and the general overall global economic, social and political environment.

The risks and uncertainties discussed in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are not exclusive and other factors that we may consider immaterial or do not anticipate may emerge as significant risks and uncertainties.

Any forward-looking statements made in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein or otherwise speak only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements. We advise you, however, to consult any disclosures made on related subjects in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement, in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and in other documents that are subsequently incorporated by reference.

An investment in the Notes is subject to various risks. In addition to the other information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 before you decide to invest in the Notes.

As of September 30, 2023, on an as adjusted basis as described under “Capitalization” and “Use of Proceeds,” our total outstanding debt, excluding unused commitments made by lenders, would have been approximately $2,199 million, of which amount none would have been secured. In addition, we had $507.7 million outstanding and approximately $484.8 million of availability under our revolving loan facility (after giving effect to $36.2 million of outstanding letters of credit). See “Capitalization”.

Our indebtedness could have important consequences to you, including:

In addition, we may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations to repay our indebtedness when it becomes due and to meet our other cash needs. If we are not able to pay our debts as they become due, we will be required to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness, selling assets or selling additional debt or equity securities. We may not be able to refinance our debt or sell additional debt or equity securities or our assets on favorable terms, if at all, and if we must sell our assets, it may negatively affect our ability to generate revenues.

Other than the covenants described under “Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants”, the Indenture does not contain any provisions that would limit our ability to incur secured indebtedness or undertake corporate restructurings or other activities that could significantly increase our leverage. In addition, the Indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional unsecured indebtedness, pay dividends, make distributions or repurchase shares of our common stock. The Indenture also does not limit our ability to incur debt that is secured by assets other than our Principal Properties or capital stock of our restricted subsidiaries. Any such transaction could adversely affect our ability to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, including the Notes.

The Notes will not be secured by any of our assets. As a result, the Notes will be effectively subordinated to any secured debt we may incur in the future. The effect of this subordination is that upon a default in payment on, or the acceleration of, any of our secured indebtedness, or in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,

dissolution or reorganization of our Company, the proceeds from the sale of assets securing our secured indebtedness will be available to pay obligations on the Notes only after any secured debt has been paid in full. As a result, the holders of the Notes may receive less, ratably, than the holders of secured debt in the event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization.

We are a holding company and, accordingly, substantially all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries, our subsidiaries own all of our operating assets and we have no significant assets other than the ownership interests in these subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities and have no obligation to pay any amounts under the Notes or make any amounts available for such payments. As a result, our cash flow and our consequent ability to service our debt, including the Notes, are dependent in part on the earnings of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us.

The Notes will be our obligations exclusively and will not be guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. As a result, the Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceedings involving any of our subsidiaries, the creditors of that subsidiary will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of that subsidiary before any assets are made available for distribution to us, except to the extent that we may also have a claim as a creditor of that subsidiary, in which case our claims would still be subordinated to any security interests in, or mortgages on, the assets of that subsidiary and would be subordinate to any debt of that subsidiary that is senior to that held by us.

In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding, the holders of any such guaranteed debt would be entitled to require the subsidiaries providing a guarantee of that debt to pay such debt, while holders of the Notes would not have any similar rights against applicable subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2023, on an actual basis, our subsidiaries had approximately $152 million in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness.

Our Credit Agreement and other debt agreements contain financial and restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to, among other things, borrow additional funds or take advantage of business opportunities. While we are currently in compliance with the financial covenants, increases in our debt or decreases in our earnings could cause us to fail to comply with these financial covenants. Failing to comply with such covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all our indebtedness or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operation and debt service capability.

Our level of debt and the financial and restrictive covenants contained in our Credit Agreement could have important consequences on our financial position and results of operations, including increasing our vulnerability to increases in interest rates because debt under our Credit Agreement bears interest at variable rates.

We may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time or from time to time at specified redemption prices. See “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption”. If prevailing interest rates are lower at the time of redemption, you may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an interest rate as high as the interest rate of the Notes being redeemed.

Unless we exercise our right to redeem the Notes, we will be required to offer to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event, as described in this prospectus supplement. If we experience a change of control triggering event, we may not have sufficient financial resources available to

satisfy our obligations to repurchase the Notes. Our failure to purchase the Notes as required under the indenture governing the Notes would result in a default under the indenture, which could have material adverse consequences for us and you. Such an event of default may cause the acceleration of our other debt, including debt under our Credit Agreement, our Master Note Purchase Agreement and future debt that we may incur. See “Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants—Offer to Repurchase Notes Upon Change of Control Triggering Event”.

The Notes are a new issuance of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to apply to list the Notes on any securities exchange or for quotation on any automated dealer quotation system. We have been advised by the underwriters that they intend to make a market in the Notes, but they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market-making activities at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that an active or liquid trading market will develop for the Notes or be maintained. If an active trading market does develop, the Notes may trade at prices lower than the offering price. The trading price of the Notes will depend on many factors, including:

We expect the Notes to be rated by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The ratings of the Notes will primarily reflect a rating agency’s view of our financial strength and prospects and will change in accordance with the assessment by such ratings agency of our financial strength and prospects. A rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold any particular security, including the Notes. 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. Holders of notes will have no recourse against us or any other parties in the event of a change in or suspension or withdrawal of any such rating. The ratings of the Notes may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to any trading market for, or trading value of, the Notes. Our ratings may be downgraded as a result of any future changes in Polaris’ business. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under further review for a downgrade, could affect the market value of the Notes and increase our corporate borrowing costs, in particular in the event that the Notes are rated below investment grade by any ratings agency.

An increase in market interest rates could result in a decrease in the value of the Notes. In general, as market interest rates rise, notes bearing interest at a fixed rate generally decline in value because the premium, if any, over market interest rates will decline. Consequently, if you purchase the Notes and market interest rates increase, the market value of such Notes may decline.

We estimate that our net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, but before deducting expenses and fees, will be approximately $492 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay certain indebtedness outstanding under our Credit Agreement and for general corporate purposes. See “Capitalization” and “Description of Other Indebtedness”.

One or more of the underwriters or affiliates of such underwriters are lenders under the Credit Agreement. As a result, such underwriters or their respective affiliates who are the lenders under the Credit Agreement would be entitled to receive their pro rata portion of the net proceeds from this offering as a result of the repayment under our Credit Agreement. See “Underwriting – Conflicts of Interest”.

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of September 30, 2023, (i) on an actual basis and (ii) on an as adjusted basis to reflect the issuance of the Notes and the receipt and application of the estimated net proceeds of this offering as described under “Use of Proceeds.”

This table should be read in conjunction with “Summary—Summary Consolidated Financial Information” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference in the prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” in the accompanying prospectus.

We are a party to an unsecured credit agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent, and the various lenders thereto consisting of a $1.0 billion revolving loan facility, a $1.2 billion term loan facility and a $500 million incremental term loan (the “Credit Agreement”). As of September 30, 2023, there was $507.7 million outstanding on the revolving loan, $792.0 million outstanding on the term loan, and $500 million outstanding on the incremental term loan. On November 7^th, 2023, we entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment. See “Recent Developments”.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to merge or consolidate with another entity; sell, transfer, lease or convey their assets; make any material change in the nature of their core business; make certain investments or incur secured indebtedness. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains covenants that require us to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00, provided that under certain conditions the leverage ratio may be increased to 4.00 to 1.00, on a rolling four quarter basis.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, such as payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, certain events of bankruptcy, material judgments, certain events under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, a change in control and failure of a loan guaranty.

Interest accrues on the revolving loan, term loan and incremental term loan at variable rates based on adjusted Term SOFR plus the applicable add-on percentage as defined. Advances denominated in U.S. Dollars carry, at our option, either the “base rate” of interest, or the “Term SOFR rate” of interest. Borrowings denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars carry the applicable agreed currency rate, including the “RFR Rate” of interest. The applicable margin for advances under the revolving loan facility ranges from 0.00% to 0.50% for base rate advances, from 0.90% to 1.50% for Term SOFR advances and from 0.90% to 1.50% for RFR Rate advances, in each case depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio.

We intend to use the proceeds from this offering to repay certain indebtedness outstanding under our Credit Agreement and for general corporate purposes.

We are party to an unsecured Master Note Purchase Agreement under which we have issued an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million of 4.230% Senior Notes due July 3, 2028 (the “July 2028 Senior Notes”). The Master Note Purchase Agreement contains covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, transfer or sell assets, incur additional priority debt, create liens or engage in mergers or consolidations. The Master Note Purchase Agreement also contains covenants that require us to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 on a rolling four-quarter basis. The Master Note Purchase Agreement includes certain events of default, including upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, all outstanding Notes will automatically become immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of payment events of default, any holder of the Notes may declare all Notes held by that holder to be immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of other events of default, a majority in principal amount of the Notes may declare all of the Notes immediately due and payable.

The July 2028 Senior Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s other unsecured senior debt. The July 2028 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.23% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year.

As of September 30, 2023, we had outstanding $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our July 2028 Senior Notes. Effective November 7^th 2023, and substantially concurrent with the entry into Credit Agreement Amendment, the subsidiary guarantees of the Master Note Purchase Agreement were released and discharged. See “Recent Developments”.

We will issue the Notes under an indenture, to be dated as of the Issue Date, between Polaris Inc., as issuer, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, to be dated as of the Issue Date (such indenture as so supplemented, the “Indenture”). This “Description of the Notes” supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith replaces, the section entitled “Description of Debt Securities” included in the accompanying prospectus. The terms of the Notes include those expressly set forth in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”).

The description of the Notes in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is a summary only, is not complete and is subject to, and qualified by reference to, the TIA and all of the provisions of the Indenture and those terms made a part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. We urge you to read the Indenture and the Notes because they define your rights as a holder of Notes. Capitalized terms used in this “Description of the Notes” that are not defined in this prospectus supplement have the meanings given to them in the Indenture.

As used in this “Description of the Notes”, the words “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” and “Polaris” refer only to Polaris Inc. and do not include any current or future subsidiaries of Polaris Inc.

The initial offering of the 6.950% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) will be limited to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount.

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.950% per year and mature on March 15, 2029.

The Notes will be issued only in registered form and in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes will be represented by a Global Security (the “Global Security”) and will be registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary. See “—Book-entry System”.

The Trustee will initially act as our paying agent for the Notes. The Notes will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, or an office or agency maintained by us for such purpose, in the continental United States. We will pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, Notes in global form registered in the name of or held by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such global note.

We may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, issue an unlimited principal amount of additional Notes having identical terms as the Notes offered hereby other than issue date, issue price and the first interest payment date (the “Additional Notes”) and which will be deemed to be part of the same series as the Notes offered hereby. We will only be permitted to issue such Additional Notes if, at the time of such issuance, we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture. Any Additional Notes will be part of the same series as the Notes that we are currently offering and will vote together as a single series on all matters with the holders of the Notes; provided, however, that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes, they will be issued with a separate CUSIP number.

We will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, beginning on March 15, 2024. We will make each interest payment to the holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1.

Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

If an interest payment date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a business day, the interest payment date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day. If the maturity date, or any earlier date of redemption or repurchase, of the Notes falls on a day that is not a business day, the required payment, including any applicable accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, will be postponed to the next succeeding business day. No interest on that payment will accrue from and after any such interest payment date or the maturity date.

The Notes:

None of our subsidiaries will guarantee the Notes. Each of our subsidiaries is a distinct legal entity that have no obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to, or to make funds available for our payment obligations in respect of, the Notes, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or otherwise.

As of September 30, 2023, on an as adjusted basis giving effect to the Credit Agreement Amendment, the issuance of the Notes offered hereby and the receipt and application of the estimated net proceeds of this offering as described under “Use of Proceeds”:

See “Use of Proceeds” and “Capitalization”.

Prior to the Par Call Date (as defined below), we may redeem the Notes at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

plus, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

On or after the Par Call Date, we may, at our option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

Any redemption may, at our discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, which will be set forth in the related notice of redemption, including completion of an offering or financing or other transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and, if applicable, will state that, in our discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions will be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions will not have been satisfied or, if we in our judgement believe any or all such conditions may not be satisfied, or otherwise waived by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, we will provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the redemption date. Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption will be rescinded or delayed, and the redemption of the Notes will be rescinded or delayed as

provided in such notice. Upon receipt, the Trustee will provide such notice to each holder in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. In addition, we may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of our obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the applicable redemption date to each holder of record of the Notes to be redeemed with a copy to the Trustee.

The following terms are relevant to the determination of the redemption price of the Notes.

“Business Day” means mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which the Trustee or banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York are obligated or authorized by law to close.

“Par Call Date” means February 15, 2029 (the date that is one month prior to the maturity of the Notes).

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by us in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by us after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the applicable redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, we shall select, as applicable: (i) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the applicable redemption date to the applicable Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (ii) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the applicable Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (iii) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the applicable redemption date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the applicable redemption date, H.15 is no longer published, we shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the applicable Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the applicable Par Call Date, we shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

Our actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the applicable policies and procedures of the depositary.

Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

We are not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, we may be required to offer to purchase Notes as described under “—Certain Covenants—Offer to Repurchase Notes Upon Change of Control Triggering Event”. We or our affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.

The Indenture contains covenants, certain of which are described below. Certain defined terms used in these covenants are set forth under “—Certain Definitions”.

We will not, and will not permit any of our Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any Principal Property or any shares of Capital Stock of any of our Restricted Subsidiaries, which Lien secures any Indebtedness, without making effective provisions whereby the Notes (together with, at our option, any other Indebtedness of ours or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries ranking equally in right of payment with the Notes) shall be secured by a Lien on such Principal Property or Shares of Capital Stock, equally and ratably with (or prior to) such other Lien.

Any Lien created for the benefit of holders of the Notes pursuant to this covenant shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described above.

We will not, and will not permit any of our Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction, other than any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (a) involving a lease for a term of not more than three years (or which may be terminated by us or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary within a period of not more than three years), (b) involving a lease executed by the time of, or within 365 days after the latest of, the acquisition, the completion of construction or improvement or the commencement of commercial operation of the applicable Principal Property or (c) between us and one of our Restricted Subsidiaries or between Restricted Subsidiaries, unless either (i) we or such Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted, pursuant to the covenant described under “—Limitation on Liens”, to incur a Lien on the Principal Property subject to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction securing Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes, or (ii) we or a Restricted Subsidiary, within 365 days of entering into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, apply an amount equal to the fair market value of the Principal Property leased pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction at the time of entering into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, as determined in good faith by our board of directors (which determination shall be conclusive) to either (A) the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement) of Funded Debt, which Funded Debt, in the case of us, is not subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment of the Notes, or (B) the purchase, construction, development, expansion or improvement of other comparable property.

We will not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or sell, transfer or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, nor may any other Person consolidate with or merge into us

unless (a) the Person, if other than us, formed by or resulting from any such consolidation or merger or the Person which shall have purchased or received the transfer of, or which leases, our properties and assets substantially as an entirety, shall be a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the United States, or any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia (and if such Person is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation organized and existing under such laws) and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, the payment of the principal of, premium, and interest, in each case if any, on all the Notes and the performance and observance of the covenants of the Indenture and (b) immediately thereafter no event of default and no event which after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an event of default shall have happened and be continuing. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the terms of the Indenture do not prohibit us from merging with any of our affiliates solely for the purpose of reincorporating ourselves in another jurisdiction to realize tax or other benefits.

In the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, in a transaction in which there is a successor entity, the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, us under the Indenture and, subject to the terms of the Indenture, we will be released from the obligation to pay principal and interest on the Notes and all obligations under the Indenture; however, in the case of a lease of our properties and assets substantially as an entirety, the predecessor entity will not be released from its obligation to pay principal of and interest on the Notes.

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless we have exercised our option to redeem the Notes as described under “—Optional Redemption” above, each holder of the Notes will have the right to require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or at our option, prior to any Change of Control but after public announcement of the pending Change of Control, we will be required to give notice to each holder of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer and will describe, among other things, the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and the purchase date. The purchase date will be at least 30 days but no more than 60 days from the date such notice is given, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). If the notice is given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, the notice will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

Holders of the Notes electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to:

We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by us and the third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

We will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable, in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, we will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

Our ability to repurchase Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer may be limited by a number of factors. Certain events that may constitute a change of control under our and our subsidiaries’ Indebtedness could cause a default under the agreements related to such Indebtedness but may not constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event under the Indenture. Our and our subsidiaries’ future Indebtedness may also contain prohibitions of certain events that would constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event or require such Indebtedness to be repurchased upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. Moreover, the exercise by the holders of their right to require us to repurchase the Notes could cause a default under such Indebtedness, even if a Change of Control Triggering Event itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on us. Finally, our ability to pay cash to the holders upon a repurchase may be limited by our then existing financial resources. We cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—We may not be able to repurchase the Notes upon a change of control triggering event, which could result in a default under the Notes”.

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of our properties or assets and those of our subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all”, there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Notes to require us to repurchase the Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person or group may be uncertain.

The provisions under the Indenture relating to our obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

Set forth below is a summary of certain of the defined terms used in the Indenture. Reference is made to the Indenture for the definition of all terms used herein for which no definition is provided.

“Attributable Debt” means, with respect to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction at any particular time, what we believe in good faith to be the present value, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease involved in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, of the lessee’s obligation under the lease for rental payments during the remaining term of such lease, as it may be extended. For purposes of this definition, the term “Attributable Debt” shall not include any attributable debt resulting from any Sale and Leaseback Transactions incurred under (a), (b) or (c) of the covenant “Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.”

For purposes of this definition, any amounts the lessee must pay, whether or not designated as rent or additional rent, on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges or any amounts lessee must pay under the lease contingent upon the amount of sales, maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges are not included in the determination of the lessee’s obligations under the lease.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the Notes cease to be rated Investment Grade by at least two of the three Rating Agencies on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing on the earlier of: (a) the occurrence of a Change of Control and (b) the first public announcement by us of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control), and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control, which Trigger Period will be extended following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change; provided that a Change of Control Triggering Event will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control if the applicable Rating Agency making the reduction in rating does not publicly announce or confirm or inform the Trustee at our or its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the Change of Control.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

For purposes of calculating Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, investments, acquisitions, mergers, consolidations, dispositions, amalgamations, and any incurrence or discharge of liabilities, subsequent to the date of the most recent available consolidated balance sheet and on or prior to the date of determination, will be given pro forma effect as if they had occurred at the end of such fiscal quarter. For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is given to a transaction or other event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of us.

“Customer Finance Program Obligations” means inventory repurchase and recourse obligations, including any obligation of us or any Restricted Subsidiary to repurchase products of us and our Restricted Subsidiaries or to purchase or repurchase receivables created in connection with the sale of products or related services of us and our Subsidiaries under any customer finance program, in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business.

“Funded Debt” of any Person means any Indebtedness created, issued, incurred, assumed or guaranteed by such Person, whether secured or unsecured, maturing more than one year after the date of determination thereof or which may by its terms be reborrowed, refunded, renewed or extended to a time more than 12 months after the date of determination thereof.

“Non-Recourse Obligation” means Indebtedness (A) substantially related to (1) the acquisition of assets not previously owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (2) the financing of a project involving the development or expansion of the Company’s properties or properties of any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or (B) renewing, refinancing, replacing or extending any of the types of Indebtedness referred to in the preceding clause (A), in each case, as to which the obligee with respect to such Indebtedness has no recourse to the Company or its assets other than the assets which were acquired with the proceeds of such transaction or the project financed with the proceeds of such transaction (and the proceeds thereof).

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified person as of any date, the Capital Stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

The Indenture requires us to file with the Trustee copies of the annual reports and the information, documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which we are required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act within 15 days after we file the same with the Commission. We will be deemed to have complied with such requirement to the extent that such information, documents and reports are filed with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system (or any successor thereto) and such reports are publicly available.

Delivery of reports, documents and information to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and its receipt of such reports shall not imply a duty of review and shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including our compliance with any of our covenants under the Indenture or the Notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, our compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the SEC or EDGAR or any website under the Indenture.

The Indenture defines the following as events of default:

If an event of default, other than events relating to our bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare, by written notice to us and the Trustee, the principal of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. If an event of default relating to our bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization occurs and is continuing, the principal, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all outstanding Notes shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any holder, become immediately due and payable. Prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of any Notes (and, subject to conditions, after a declaration accelerating the maturity of any Notes but before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered), the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive such default, except a default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes.

In order for holders of the Notes to initiate proceedings for a remedy under the Indenture (other than with respect to an event of default referred to in the fifth bullet with respect to us), holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes must first give written notice to us as provided above in respect of the Notes, must request that the Trustee initiate a proceeding in its own name and must offer, and if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred in compliance with such request. If the Trustee still refuses for 60 days to initiate the proceeding, and no inconsistent direction has been given to the Trustee by holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, the holders may initiate a proceeding as long as they do not adversely affect the rights of any other holders of the Notes. However, any holder is entitled at any time to bring a lawsuit for payment of money due on its notes on or after the due date.

The Indenture contains a provision entitling the Trustee to be indemnified by holders of the Notes before proceeding to exercise any right or power under the Indenture at the request of such holders. The Indenture also

provides that the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes, subject to certain exceptions.

The Indenture contains a covenant requiring us to file annually with the Trustee a certificate of no default or a certificate specifying any default that exists.

The Indenture permits us and the Trustee, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, to execute supplemental indentures for the following purposes:

The Indenture contains provisions permitting us and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture (as it relates to the Notes) or modifying the rights of the holders of the Notes, except that no such supplemental indenture may:

The Indenture provides that we, at our option, will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Notes (except for certain obligations such as obligations to (a) register the transfer or exchange of securities, (b) replace stolen, lost or mutilated securities; and (c) maintain paying agencies) if at any time, we (i) have paid or caused to be paid the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes as and when the same shall have become due and payable, (ii) we have delivered to the Trustee for cancelation all of the Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid) or (iii) (x) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancelation have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption and (y) we irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, cash or government securities that are sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bankers, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes issued thereunder on the dates such installments of interest or principal are due.

We may, at our option and at any time, elect to have all of our obligations discharged with respect to the Notes and the Indenture (“legal defeasance”) except for:

We may, at our option and at any time, elect to have our obligations terminated with respect to the Notes under various covenants applicable to the Notes, including those described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Liens”, “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions”, “—Certain Covenants—Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets”, “—Certain Covenants—Offer to Repurchase Notes Upon Change of Control Triggering Event” and the operation of the event of default in connection with such failure to comply with such covenants and the cross-acceleration event of default described in the fourth bullet under “— Events of Default” (“covenant defeasance”).

We may exercise our legal defeasance option notwithstanding our prior exercise of our covenant defeasance option.

In order to exercise either legal defeasance or covenant defeasance under the Indenture:

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any of our obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or in any supplemental indenture, or in any Note itself, or because of the creation of any Indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of us or our successors, either directly or through us or any such successor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of the Notes.

We will issue the Notes in the form of one or more permanent global notes in definitive, fully registered form. The global note will be deposited with or on behalf of DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or will remain in the custody of the Trustee in accordance with the FAST Balance Certificate Agreement between DTC and the Trustee.

Direct and indirect participants in DTC will record beneficial ownership of the Notes by individual investors. The transfer of ownership of beneficial interests in a global note will be effected only through records maintained by DTC or its nominee, or by participants or persons that hold through participants.

Investors may elect to hold beneficial interests in the global notes through either DTC or Euroclear if they are participants in these systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in these systems. Upon receipt of any payment in respect of a global note, DTC or its nominee will immediately credit participants’ accounts with amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global note as shown in the records of DTC or its nominee. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global note held through participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of those participants.

DTC holds securities of institutions that have accounts with it or its participants. Through its maintenance of an electronic book-entry system, DTC facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its

participants and eliminates the need to deliver securities certificates physically. DTC’s participants include securities brokers and dealers, including the underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Access to DTC’s book-entry system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly.

DTC agrees with and represents to its participants that it will administer its book-entry system in accordance with its rules and bylaws and requirements of law. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.

Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream’s and Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold interests in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC.

Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations (“Clearstream Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides to Clearstream Participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries.

Clearstream is registered as a bank in Luxembourg and as such is subject to regulation by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier and the Banque Centrale du Luxembourg, which supervise and oversee the activities of Luxembourg banks. Clearstream Participants are worldwide financial institutions, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations, and may include the underwriters or their affiliates. Indirect access to Clearstream is available to other institutions that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant. Clearstream has established an electronic bridge with Euroclear as the operator of the Euroclear System (the “Euroclear Operator”) in Brussels to facilitate settlement of trades between Clearstream and the Euroclear Operator.

Distributions with respect to the Notes held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for Clearstream.

Euroclear holds securities and book-entry interests in securities for participating organizations (“Euroclear Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Euroclear Participants, and between Euroclear Participants and participants of certain other securities intermediaries through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of such participants or other securities intermediaries. Euroclear provides Euroclear Participants with, among other things, safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement, securities lending and borrowing, and related services.

Euroclear Participants are investment banks, securities brokers and dealers, banks, central banks, supranationals, custodians, investment managers, corporations, trust companies and certain other organizations and may include the underwriters or their affiliates. Non-participants in Euroclear may hold and transfer beneficial interests in a global note through accounts with a Euroclear Participant or any other securities intermediary that holds a book-entry interest in a global note through one or more securities intermediaries standing between such other securities intermediary and Euroclear.

Distributions with respect to the Notes held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear Participants in accordance with the terms and conditions of Euroclear, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for Euroclear.

Transfers between Euroclear Participants and Clearstream Participants will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

Cross-market transfers between DTC’s participating organizations (the “DTC Participants”), on the one hand, and Euroclear Participants or Clearstream Participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its U.S. Depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or

Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (European time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. Depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the global note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day fund settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear Participants and Clearstream Participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. Depositaries.

Due to time zone differences, the securities accounts of a Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant purchasing an interest in a global note from a DTC Participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear or Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a global note by or through a Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant to a DTC Participant will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.

The information in this section concerning DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream and their book-entry systems has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of that information.

Neither we nor the Trustee (including in its capacity as paying agent) will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of securities among participants of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and they may discontinue the procedures at any time.

Initial settlement for the Notes will be made in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between DTC participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in immediately available funds using DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System.

We will issue certificated notes to each person that DTC identifies as a beneficial owner of the Notes represented by a global note upon surrender by DTC of the global note if:

The Indenture and the Notes will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The Indenture provides that we and the Trustee, and each holder of a Note by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture, the Notes or any transaction contemplated thereby.

The Trustee under the Indenture is U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association. In the ordinary course of business, we may borrow money from, and maintain other banking relationships with, the Trustee’s affiliates. Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be responsible for monitoring our rating status, making any request upon any Rating Agency, or determining whether any rating event has occurred.

The following are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the Notes. This discussion applies only to Notes that meet both of the following conditions:

This discussion does not describe all aspects of U.S. federal income taxes and does not deal with all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules such as:

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Notes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of partnerships holding Notes should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of holding and disposing of the Notes.

This summary is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations in effect as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus supplement may affect the tax consequences described herein, possibly with retroactive effect.

This summary addresses only U.S. federal income tax consequences. Persons considering the purchase of notes should consult their tax advisors with regard to the application of the U.S. federal income or other federal tax laws (including estate and gift tax laws and the Medicare tax on investment income) to their particular situations as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

Our obligation to pay additional amounts on the notes in excess of the accrued interest and principal (for example, in connection with certain change of control transactions, as described above in “Description of the Notes— Certain Covenants—Offer to Repurchase Notes Upon Change of Control Triggering Event”) may implicate the provisions of the Treasury regulations relating to “contingent payment debt instruments.” Under these Treasury regulations, one or more contingencies will not cause a debt instrument to be treated as a contingent payment debt instrument if, based on all the facts and circumstances as of the issue date, such contingencies (in the aggregate) are considered remote or incidental or if it is significantly more likely than not that none of such contingencies will occur. We intend to take the position that the notes should not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments and this discussion generally assumes that the regulations relating to “contingent payment debt instruments” are not applicable. However, we can give you no assurance that our position would be sustained if challenged by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). A successful challenge of

this position by the IRS could affect the timing and amount of a Holder’s income and could cause the gain from the sale or other disposition of a note to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain. Our position regarding the applicability of the regulations relating to “contingent payment debt instruments” is binding on a holder unless the holder discloses in a proper manner to the IRS that it is taking a different position. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of the contingent payment debt instrument rules to the notes.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

Interest paid on a Note will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a Note that is a taxable disposition, a U.S. Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale, exchange or retirement and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Note, which will generally equal the cost of the Note. For these purposes, the amount realized does not include any amount attributable to accrued interest. Amounts attributable to accrued interest are treated as interest as described under “Payments of Interest” above.

Gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or retirement of a Note will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange or retirement the Note has been held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Information returns generally will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments on the Notes and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the Notes. A U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding on these payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide its correct taxpayer identification number to the applicable withholding agent and comply with certain certification procedures or otherwise establish an exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

The term “Non-U.S. Holder” does not include a beneficial owner who is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition or who is (or may become while holding Notes) a former citizen or resident of the United States. Such a beneficial owner is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale, exchange or other disposition of a Note.

Subject to the discussions below concerning backup withholding and FATCA (as defined below), payments of principal, interest and premium on the Notes to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding, provided that, in the case of interest:

Subject to the discussion below concerning income of a Non-U.S. Holder that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, if a Non-U.S. Holder cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest on the Notes to such Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to 30% U.S. federal withholding, unless the Non-U.S. Holder provides the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8 appropriate to the Non-U.S. Holder’s circumstances claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under an applicable income tax treaty and complies with any other applicable procedures. See the discussion below under “FATCA” regarding withholding on interest under the FATCA rules.

A Non-U.S. Holder of a Note will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or retirement of such Note, unless the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise, although any amounts attributable to accrued interest will generally be treated as described above under “Payments on the Notes.” See the discussion below under “FATCA” regarding withholding under the FATCA rules on gross proceeds of the sale, exchange or retirement of the Notes.

If a Non-U.S. Holder of a Note is engaged in a trade or business in the United States, and if income or gain on the Note is effectively connected with the conduct of this trade or business (and if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the income or gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States), the Non-U.S. Holder, although exempt from the withholding tax on interest discussed above, will generally be taxed in the same manner as a U.S. Holder (see “Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders” above), except that the Non-U.S. Holder will be required to provide to the applicable withholding agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI in order to claim an exemption from withholding tax on interest. These Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to other U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Notes, including, in the case of a corporation, the possible imposition of a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty).

Information returns generally will be filed with the IRS in connection with interest payments on the Notes. Copies of the information returns reporting such interest payments and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Unless the Non-U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person, information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the Notes, and the Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding on payments on the Notes or on the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the Notes. Compliance with the certification procedures required to claim the exemption from withholding tax on interest described above will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid backup withholding as well. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Provisions in the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, commonly referred to as “FATCA,” generally impose a withholding tax of 30% on payments to certain non-U.S. entities (including financial intermediaries) with respect to certain financial instruments, unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements have been satisfied. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the non-U.S. entity’s jurisdiction may modify these requirements. Withholding under these rules (if applicable) applies to payments of interest on the Notes and to payments of gross proceeds of the sale, exchange or retirement of the Notes. However, under proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations (the preamble to which specifies that taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization), no withholding will apply on payments of gross proceeds. Non-U.S. Holders, and U.S. Holders holding Notes through a non-U.S. intermediary, should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of FATCA to the Notes.

The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the purchase of the Notes by employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any other U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state, local or other laws, rules or regulations that are similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA (collectively, “Similar Laws”), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”).

ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan.

When considering an investment in the Notes of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws relating to a fiduciary’s duties to the Plan, including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.

Each Plan should consider the fact that none of the Company, the underwriters nor any of their respective affiliates will act as a fiduciary to any Plan with respect to the decision to acquire or hold Notes and is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, with respect to such decision. The decision to acquire or hold Notes must be made by each prospective Plan purchaser on an arm’s length basis.

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are “parties in interest”, within the meaning of ERISA, or “disqualified persons”, within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In the case of an IRA, the occurrence of a prohibited transaction could cause the IRA to lose its tax-exempt status. The acquisition and/or holding of Notes by an ERISA Plan with respect to which the Company or the underwriters or any of their respective affiliates is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the Notes are acquired and 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 “PTCEs,” that may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the sale, acquisition and 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 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide relief from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code for certain transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates (directly or indirectly) has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of any Plan or ERISA Plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the Plan or ERISA Plan pays no more than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied at the time that the Notes are acquired by a purchaser, or thereafter, if the facts relied upon for utilizing a prohibited transaction exemption change.

Because of the foregoing, the Notes should not be purchased or held by any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchase and holding will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

Accordingly, by acceptance of a Note, or any interest therein, each purchaser, holder and subsequent transferee of a Note will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such purchaser, holder or transferee to acquire or hold the Notes constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii) the purchase, holding and subsequent disposition of the Notes by such purchaser, holder or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions or other violations of ERISA, or Similar Laws, it is particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons considering purchasing the Notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be necessary for, and if so applicable to, the purchase, holding and subsequent disposition of the Notes.

Purchasers of the Notes have the exclusive responsibility for ensuring that their purchase and holding of the Notes complies with the fiduciary responsibility rules of ERISA or of applicable Similar Laws and does not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA, the Code or applicable Similar Laws. We make no representation as to whether an investment in the Notes is appropriate for any Plan in general or whether such investment is appropriate for any particular plan or arrangement. Neither this discussion nor anything provided in this prospectus supplement is or is intended to be investment advice directed at any potential Plan purchaser or at Plan purchasers generally. Such purchasers of the Notes should consult and rely on their own counsel and advisers as to whether an investment in the Notes is suitable.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are acting as representatives of each of the underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in a firm commitment underwriting agreement among us and the underwriters, dated the date of this prospectus supplement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each of the underwriters has agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase from us the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite its name below.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, the underwriters have agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase all of the Notes sold under the underwriting agreement if any of these Notes are purchased. If an underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the nondefaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters and their controlling persons against certain liabilities in connection with this offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

The underwriters are offering the Notes, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the Notes, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officer’s certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

The representatives have advised us that the underwriters propose initially to offer the Notes to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of 0.375% of the principal amount of the Notes. The underwriters may allow, and any such dealer may re-allow, a concession not to exceed 0.225% of the principal amount of the Notes. After the initial offering, the relevant public offering price, concession or any other term of the offering may be changed. The underwriters may offer and sell Notes through certain of their affiliates. The offering of the Notes by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.

The following table shows the underwriting discount that we will pay to the underwriters in connection with the offering of the Notes:

The expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discount, are estimated to be approximately $3 million and will be payable by us.

The Notes are a new issuance of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to apply to list the Notes on any securities exchange or for quotation on any automated dealer quotation system. The representatives of the underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market in the Notes but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market-making activities at any time without notice. Neither we nor the underwriters can assure you that the trading market for the Notes or that an active public market for the Notes will develop or be maintained. 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 interest rates, the market for similar securities, our operating performance and financial condition, general economic conditions and other factors.

We have agreed that we will not, during the period from the date hereof through the date of the closing of this offering, without the prior written consent of the representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company and having a tenor of more than one year.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell the Notes in the open market. These transactions may include short sales and purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater principal amount of Notes than they are required to purchase in the offering. The underwriters must close out any short position by purchasing Notes in the open market. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Notes in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase the Notes in the offering.

Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the Notes or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Notes. As a result, the price of the Notes may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the Notes. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Certain underwriters or their respective affiliates are lenders under our Credit Agreement. As a result, such underwriters or their respective affiliates who are the lenders under the Credit Agreement would be entitled to receive their pro rata portion of the net proceeds from this offering as a result of the repayment under our Credit Agreement, which may constitute a “conflict of interest” under FINRA Rule 5121 for such underwriters. Consequently, this offering will be conducted in accordance with the applicable requirements of FINRA Rule 5121. See “Use of Proceeds”.

The underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. In particular, affiliates of each of the underwriters are lenders and/or agents under the Credit Agreement.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates.

Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their

customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the Notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of the trustee.

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about November 16, 2023, which will be the fifth business day following the date hereof (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on any day prior to two business days before delivery will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area (each a “Member State”), no Notes have been offered or will be offered pursuant to the offering to the public in that Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to the Notes which has been approved by the competent authority in that Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation, except that offers of Notes may be made to the public in that Member State at any time under the following exemptions under the Prospectus Regulation:

Each person in a Member State who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any Notes under, the offering contemplated hereby will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed to and with the Company and/or Selling Shareholders, underwriters and their affiliates that:

The Company and/or Selling Shareholders, the underwriters and their affiliates, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representation, acknowledgement and agreement. Notwithstanding the above, a person who is not a qualified investor and who has notified the Joint Global Coordinators of such fact in writing may, with the prior consent of the Joint Global Coordinators, be permitted to acquire Notes in the offer.

Polaris Inc. (“Polaris”) may, from time to time, offer and sell debt securities in one or more series. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the debt securities we may offer. Each time we sell debt securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain the specific terms of the debt securities offered. The prospectus supplements will also describe the specific manner in which we will offer the debt securities. The prospectus supplements may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, as well as the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, carefully before you invest.

The debt securities may be offered and sold to or through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents as designated from time to time, or directly to one or more other purchasers or through a combination of such methods. See “Plan of Distribution.” If any underwriters, dealers or agents are involved in the sale of any of the debt securities, their names, and any applicable purchase price, fee, commission, discount or other compensation arrangements between or among them, will be set forth, or will be calculable from the information set forth, in the applicable prospectus supplement.

This prospectus may not be used to offer and sell debt securities unless accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

Investing in our debt securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors referred to on page 6 of this prospectus, in any applicable prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement before you invest in our debt securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We have not authorized anyone to provide any information other than that contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or in any free writing prospectus filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We do not take any responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. We are not making an offer to sell the debt securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus or any document incorporated by reference is accurate as of any date other than the respective dates on the front of such documents. Our business, properties, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or an invitation on our behalf, to subscribe to or purchase any of the debt securities, and may not be used for or in connection with an offer or solicitation by anyone, in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the SEC under a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may, at any time and from time to time, sell in one or more offerings the debt securities described in this prospectus. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the debt securities we may offer. Each time we sell debt securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus, and accordingly, to the extent inconsistent, information in this prospectus is superseded by the information in the prospectus supplement. You should carefully read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement together with additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

The prospectus supplement will describe: the terms of the debt securities offered, the price to the public, the price paid to us for the debt securities, the net proceeds to us, the manner of distribution, any underwriting compensation and the other specific material terms related to the offering of those debt securities. For more detail on the terms of the debt securities, you should read the exhibits filed with or incorporated by reference in our registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Unless expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this prospectus refer to Polaris and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “debt securities” include any security that we might sell under this prospectus or any prospectus supplement. References to “$” and “dollars” are to United States dollars.

This prospectus contains summaries of certain provisions contained in key documents described in this prospectus. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents, which you should review before making your investment decision. Copies of the documents referred to herein have been filed, or will be filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and you may obtain copies of those documents as described below under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Because Polaris is a “well-known seasoned issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), we may add to and offer additional debt securities by filing a prospectus supplement with the SEC at the time of the offer.

We are required to file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. Our filings are available to the public on the Internet, through a database maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. Our filings are also available, free of charge, on our website at https://ir.polaris.com/home. We have included our website address for the information of prospective investors and do not intend it to be an active link to our website. Information contained on our website does not constitute a part of this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement (or any document incorporated by reference herein or therein).

Polaris filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register with the SEC the debt securities described in this prospectus. This prospectus is part of that registration statement. As permitted by SEC rules, this prospectus does not contain all the information contained in the registration statement or the exhibits to the registration statement. You may refer to the registration statement and accompanying exhibits for more information about us and our debt securities. You may review and obtain a copy of the registration statement and the exhibits that are a part of the registration statement through the SEC’s website or our website. You can also call or write us for a copy as described below.

The SEC allows us to incorporate by reference into this document the information we file with the SEC. This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to other documents that we identify as part of this prospectus. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus. Any reports filed by us with the SEC after the date of this prospectus and before the date that the offering of the securities by means of this prospectus is terminated will automatically update and, where applicable, supersede any information contained in this prospectus or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

We incorporate by reference the documents listed below:

We also incorporate by reference any future filings we make with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than documents or information deemed to have been furnished and not filed in accordance with SEC rules, including Items 2.02 and 7.01 of Form 8-K), on or after the date of this prospectus until we have terminated the offering. Those documents will become a part of this prospectus from the date that the documents are filed with the SEC. Information that becomes a part of this prospectus after the date of this prospectus will automatically update and may replace information in this prospectus and information previously filed with the SEC. Any statement so updated or replaced will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, information furnished under Items 2.02 and 7.01 of any Current Report on Form 8-K, including the related exhibits under Item 9.01, is not incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

We will provide to each person to whom a prospectus is delivered, a copy of any or all of the information that has been incorporated by reference in the prospectus but not delivered with the prospectus, including exhibits that are specifically incorporated by reference into such documents, upon written or oral request and at no cost to the requester. Requests should be made by writing or telephoning us at the following address:

This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement, any free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein contain “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These “forward-looking statements” can generally be identified in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement, any free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein because the context of the statement will include words such as “believes,” “should,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans or trends, objectives or goals, such as future sales, shipments, inventory levels, consumer demand, net income, net income per share, future cash flows and capital requirements, operational initiatives, pricing actions, tariffs, currency fluctuations, interest rates, and commodity costs, are also forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements.

Potential risks and uncertainties include such factors as the severity and duration of the supply-chain related constraints currently impacting us; our ability to successfully source necessary parts and materials on a timely basis; our ability to manufacture and deliver products to dealers to meet demand; our ability to identify and meet optimal dealer inventory levels; our ability to accurately forecast and sustain consumer demand; our ability to mitigate increasing input costs through pricing or other measures; global pandemics and the resulting impact on our business, supply chain, and the global economy; our ability to successfully implement its manufacturing operations strategy and supply chain initiatives; product offerings, promotional activities and pricing strategies by competitors that make our products less attractive to consumers; our ability to strategically invest in innovation and new products, including as compared to our competitors; economic conditions that impact consumer spending or consumer credit including recessionary conditions and changes in interest rates; disruptions in manufacturing facilities; product recalls and/or warranty expenses; product rework costs; impact of changes in our stock price on incentive compensation plan costs; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; environmental and product safety regulatory activity; effects of weather; commodity costs; freight and tariff costs (tariff relief or ability to mitigate tariffs); changes to international trade policies and agreements; uninsured product liability and class action claims, including claims seeking punitive damages, and other litigation expenses incurred due to the nature of our business; uncertainty in the retail and wholesale credit markets; performance of affiliate partners; changes in tax policy; relationships with dealers and suppliers; and the general overall global economic, social and political environment.

The risks and uncertainties discussed in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement, any free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are not exclusive and other factors that we may consider immaterial or do not anticipate may emerge as significant risks and uncertainties.

Any forward-looking statements made as of the date of this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein or otherwise speak only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements. We advise you, however, to consult any disclosures made on related subjects in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, any accompanying prospectus supplement and in other documents that are subsequently incorporated by reference.

Certain market and industry data included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus have been obtained from a combination of internal surveys, third-party information and estimates by management. There are limited sources that report on our markets and industries. As such, much of the market and industry data presented in this prospectus is based on internally-generated management estimates, including estimates based on extrapolations from third-party surveys of the industries in which we compete. While we believe internal surveys, third-party information and our estimates are reliable, we have not verified them, nor have they been verified by any independent sources and we have no assurance that the information contained in third-party websites is current, up-to-date, or accurate. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding the market and industry data presented in this prospectus, whether any such future-looking data will be accurate involves risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those factors discussed under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus and in the risk factors contained or incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein.

Investing in the debt securities involves significant risks. Before you invest in the debt securities, in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus and in the applicable prospectus supplement, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties identified in Polaris Inc.’s reports filed with the SEC that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the debt securities to which this prospectus relates will be used for general corporate purposes. Until we apply the proceeds from the sale of the debt securities, we may temporarily invest any proceeds that are not immediately applied to the above purposes in United States government or agency obligations, commercial paper, money market accounts, short-term marketable debt securities, bank deposits or certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements collateralized by United States government or agency obligations or other short-term investments.

We have summarized below general terms and conditions of the debt securities covered by this prospectus. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms and conditions of the series in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus. We will also indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement whether the general terms and conditions described in this prospectus apply to the series of debt securities and/or whether the terms and conditions of the debt securities of a series will be different in one or more respects from the terms and conditions described below. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular series of debt securities, reference must be made to both the prospectus supplement relating thereto and to the following summary.

We will issue any debt securities offered by this prospectus pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement and incorporated by reference into this prospectus. The Indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The following section is a summary of certain provisions of the Indenture. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions in the Indenture of certain terms. We encourage you to read the Indenture and our debt securities for provisions that may be important to you.

All capitalized terms included in this summary shall have the same meanings specifically set forth in the Indenture. For purposes of this description, references to the “Company,” “Polaris,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer only to Polaris Inc. and not its subsidiaries.

The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities or of any particular series of debt securities and provides that debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Indenture provides that debt securities will be issued in fully registered form in minimum denominations which may be specified for each particular series, if other than minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 or the equivalent in a foreign currency. Under the Indenture, debt securities will be unsecured and will rank pari passu with our other unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness.

Unless otherwise described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities of any particular series, there are no covenants or provisions contained in the Indenture that may afford the holders of our debt securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction involving us. Any such highly leveraged transaction may adversely affect holders of our debt securities.

We will set forth in a prospectus supplement, including any pricing supplement or term sheet, the following terms of the debt securities, among others, if applicable:

The indenture and the debt securities issued thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association will serve as trustee under the indenture.

We may sell our debt securities in any one or more of the following ways from time to time: (i) through agents; (ii) to or through underwriters, including through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters; (iii) through brokers or dealers; (iv) directly by us to purchasers, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process; or (v) through a combination of any of these methods of sale. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain the terms of the transaction, name or names of any underwriters, dealers, agents and the respective amounts of debt securities underwritten or purchased by them, the initial public offering price of the debt securities, and the applicable agent’s commission, dealer’s purchase price, underwriter’s discount or other compensation arrangement. Any dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the debt securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the debt securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts.

Any public offering price, dealer purchase price, discount or commission may be changed from time to time.

The debt securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions, at negotiated prices, at fixed prices (that may be subject to change), at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at various prices determined at the time of sale or at prices related to prevailing market prices.

Offers to purchase debt securities may be solicited directly by us or by agents designated by us from time to time. Any such agent may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of the debt securities so offered and sold.

If underwriters are utilized in the sale of any debt securities in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered, such debt securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at fixed public offering prices or at varying prices determined by the underwriters at the time of sale. Debt securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by one or more underwriters. If any underwriter or underwriters are utilized in the sale of debt securities, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all such debt securities if any are purchased.

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the debt securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will sell such debt securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such debt securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale. Transactions through brokers or dealers may include block trades in which brokers or dealers will attempt to sell debt securities as agent, but may position and resell as principal to facilitate the transaction or in crosses, in which the same broker or dealer acts as agent on both sides of the trade. Any such dealer may be deemed to be an underwriter, as such term is defined in the Securities Act, of the debt securities so offered and sold.

Offers to purchase debt securities may be solicited directly by us and the sale thereof may be made by us directly to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale thereof.

If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may authorize agents and underwriters to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase debt securities from us or at the public offering price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Such delayed delivery contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled under relevant agreements with us to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments that such agents, underwriters and dealers may be required to make in respect thereof. The terms and conditions of any indemnification or contribution will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from us. Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of debt securities for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both. Compensation as to a particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by us may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales.

Each series of debt securities will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list any series of debt securities on an exchange, but, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we shall not be obligated to do so. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any of the debt securities.

Agents, underwriters and dealers, or their affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us and our respective subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

The place and time of delivery for debt securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement for such debt securities.

Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus, the validity of the debt securities to be issued by us and certain other legal matters will be passed upon for us by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, New York, New York. Any underwriters, dealers or agents will be advised about the validity of the debt securities and other legal matters by their own counsel, which will be named in the prospectus supplement.
