We are offering $    aggregate principal amount of our $      % notes due 20   (the “20   Notes”) and $    aggregate principal amount of our $      % notes due 20   (the “20   Notes” and, together with the 20   Notes, the “Notes”).

We will pay interest on the Notes on     and     of each year, beginning on    , 2026. The 20   Notes will mature on    , 20   , and the 20   Notes will mature on    , 20  .

Certain of our subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) will fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, and all other amounts in respect of each of the Notes (the “Subsidiary Guarantees”). The initial Subsidiary Guarantors are MercadoLibre S.R.L., eBazar.com.br Ltda., Mercado Pago Instituição de Pagamento Ltda, DeRemate.com de México, S. de R.L. de C.V., MPFS, S. de R.L. de C.V., MP Agregador, S. de R.L. de C.V., MercadoLibre Chile Ltda., and MercadoLibre Colombia Ltda.

The Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations from time to time outstanding. Each Subsidiary Guarantee will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations from time to time outstanding, except for statutory priorities under applicable local law.

We may, at our option, redeem the 20   Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to    , 20   (the date that is    months prior to the maturity of the 20   Notes) and the 20   Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to    , 20   (the date that is    months prior to the maturity of the 20    Notes), in each case by paying 100% of the principal amount of such Notes so redeemed plus the applicable “make-whole” amount and accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any. We may, at our option, redeem the 20   Notes, in whole or in part, on    , 20   or at any time thereafter and the 20   Notes, in whole or in part, on    , 20   or at any time thereafter, in each case at the redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of such Notes so redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any. If we experience certain change of control triggering events, we may be required to offer to purchase the Notes at 101% of their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the purchase date. See “Description of Notes—Change of Control” in this prospectus supplement. Each series of Notes may also be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, upon the occurrence of specified events relating to tax laws or treaties of certain relevant jurisdictions. See “Description of Notes—Optional Redemption Upon Tax Event” in this prospectus supplement.

We intend to apply to list the Notes on the NASDAQ Bond Market (“Nasdaq”). Currently, there is no public market for the Notes.

Investing in our Notes involves risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider all risk factors set forth in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, including the factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and each subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have also set forth below certain additional risk factors that relate specifically to securities we may offer using this prospectus supplement.

The Argentine economy has experienced balance of payment deficits and shortages in foreign exchange reserves, and the government has responded by restricting the ability of companies to convert local currencies into foreign currencies and imposing other exchange controls. These restrictive exchange control measures prevent or restrict the access of any Argentine Subsidiary Guarantor to purchase U.S. dollars and the ability to remit them out of the Republic of Argentina, and consequently its ability to meet its U.S. dollar obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees, as well as the Company’s ability to receive cash from its Argentine subsidiaries to meet its obligations. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the purchase of non-Argentine currency and transfer of such funds outside of the Republic of Argentina in compliance with the Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations is not permitted by the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina.

In the future, the Argentine government may impose additional restrictions affecting the payment of obligations in foreign currency or the issuance of a judgment or order in foreign currency by an Argentine court. For more information see “Item 1A. Risk Factors— Local currencies used in the conduct of our business are subject to depreciation, volatility and exchange controls” in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Although the Colombian government has not imposed restrictions on the trading of foreign currency in Colombia since 1990, Colombia’s foreign currency markets have historically been heavily regulated. Colombian law permits the Colombian Central Bank to impose foreign exchange controls on foreign investment and the proceeds thereof if the foreign currency reserves of the Colombian Central Bank fall below a level equal to the value of three months of imports of goods and services into Colombia. In such circumstances, the Colombian Central Bank may intervene by, among other things, either (a) imposing direct exchange controls that may limit our ability to possess, utilize or expatriate foreign currency such as the U.S. dollar or (b) utilizing international reserves or borrowing from international institutions or other nations to obtain the currency required for exchange rate management. If the Colombian Central Bank or another authority were to reduce or eliminate our ability to remit U.S. dollars outside Colombia, this may limit the ability of MercadoLibre Colombia Ltda. to meet its U.S. dollar obligations under its Guarantee, as well as the Company’s ability to receive cash from Colombia.

In the past, other economies in Latin America have also experienced balance of payment deficits and shortages in foreign exchange reserves, and governments have imposed restrictions like those described above. Those governments may institute restrictive exchange controls in the future. Any restrictive exchange control measures could prevent or restrict the Guarantors’ access to U.S. dollars, and consequently the Subsidiary Guarantors’ ability to meet its U.S. dollar obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees, as well as the Company’s ability to receive cash from its subsidiaries to meet its obligations. For more information see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Local currencies used in the conduct of our business are subject to depreciation, volatility and exchange controls” in our 2024 Form 10-K.

The Notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured debt. The Notes will be effectively junior to any secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt in the event that we become subject to dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, bankruptcy or other similar proceedings. In that event, holders of the Notes may not be able to recover any principal or interest they are due under such Notes.

The Subsidiary Guarantees provided by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s other existing and future senior unsecured debt, except for statutory priorities under applicable local law. The guarantees provided by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be effectively junior to any secured debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt in the event that such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes subject to dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding. In that event, holders of the Notes guaranteed by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors may not be able to recover any principal or interest they are due under the Notes as a result of the Subsidiary Guarantees. As of September 30, 2025, the Guarantors, taken together, had $192 million of secured indebtedness.

The Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees will only be obligations of MercadoLibre and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and not of any of our other subsidiaries. We conduct substantially all of our business and hold substantially all of our assets through our subsidiaries. Claims of creditors of our subsidiaries, other than the Subsidiary Guarantors, including trade creditors and bank and other lenders, will have priority over the holders of the Notes in claims to assets of our subsidiaries, other than the Subsidiary Guarantors. Our ability to meet our obligations, including under the Notes, will depend, in significant part, on our receipt of cash dividends, advances and other payments from our subsidiaries. In addition, dividends, loans or other distributions to us from such subsidiaries may be subject to contractual, regulatory and other restrictions and are subject to other business considerations, including but not limited to any senior claims to which the Subsidiary Guarantors may be subject. In addition, creditors of a Subsidiary Guarantor may hold negotiable instruments or other instruments governed by local law that grant rights to attach assets at the inception of judicial proceedings in the relevant jurisdiction, which could result in priorities benefitting those creditors compared to the rights of holders of the Notes.

Although we are a Delaware corporation, our subsidiaries and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Any enforcement action in a court outside the United States will be subject to compliance with requirements under applicable local law, including that, in certain jurisdictions, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiary Guarantors would be required to discharge their respective obligations in those countries in a currency other than the local currency. The laws of each Subsidiary Guarantor’s jurisdiction will prescribe the exchange rate at which obligations under each Subsidiary Guarantee will be converted to local currency for this purpose. In addition, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations to indemnify holders against exchange losses may be unenforceable in certain of those countries, including but not limited to Colombia and Mexico.

In the event that U.S. federal fraudulent conveyance or similar laws in other jurisdictions are applied to the Subsidiary Guarantees, and any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, at the time it entered into the Subsidiary Guarantee:

The Indenture governing the Notes includes a “savings clause” intended to limit each Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability under its Subsidiary Guarantee to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the Subsidiary Guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer under applicable law. There can be no assurance that this provision will be upheld as intended. On at least one occasion, a U.S. bankruptcy court has found this kind of provision to be ineffective, and held the guarantees to be fraudulent transfers and voided them in their entirety.

We currently expect that, prior to issuance, the Notes will be rated by one or more rating agencies. The ratings of credit rating agencies are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell securities. An explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained from each rating agency. There can be no assurance that credit ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that they will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies, including if our leverage increases or our operating results deteriorate. 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 and liquidity of the Notes.

The Indenture governing the Notes will contain only limited negative covenants that apply to us and our subsidiaries, including the Subsidiary Guarantors. These covenants will not require us or any Subsidiary Guarantor to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flows or liquidity, and will not limit our ability or the ability of our subsidiaries, including the Subsidiary Guarantors, to:

In light of the limited negative covenants in the Notes, we and our subsidiaries, including the Subsidiary Guarantors, may incur substantial debt. In addition, the limitation on merger, consolidation and sale of all or substantially all of our assets that will be included in the Indenture may have limited effect.

The negative covenants in the Indenture will not limit our ability to manage which elements of our business are conducted by the Obligor Group and which elements are conducted by the non-guarantor subsidiaries. For example, we could develop or acquire a profitable new business in non-guarantor subsidiaries, or a Subsidiary Guarantor could transfer a profitable business to a non-guarantor subsidiary. Similarly, a Subsidiary Guarantor could develop or acquire an unprofitable business. Our practices for billing inter-company services could also change to the detriment of the Obligor Group. We may also be entitled to cause a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a non-guarantor subsidiary, including as a result of regulatory restrictions or requirements. In any of these cases, there could be a material adverse effect on the financial performance of the Obligor Group, or on the proportion of our combined assets and liabilities, net revenues, gross profit and net income represented by the Obligor Group. See “Summarized Financial Information – Obligor Group.”

The Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees will not restrict our ability to engage in, or to otherwise be a party to, a variety of corporate transactions, circumstances and events that could have an adverse impact on your investment in the Notes.

Although we intend to apply for listing of the Notes for trading on Nasdaq, no assurance can be given that the Notes will become or will remain listed. The listing application will be subject to approval by Nasdaq. Such listing

may not be obtained, and the failure to obtain such listing will not be an event of default under the Notes or the Indenture. If such a listing is obtained, we have no obligation to maintain such listing, and we may delist the Notes at any time.

We have been informed by the underwriters that they currently intend to make a market in these Notes after this offering is completed. However, the underwriters are under no obligation to do so, and one or more underwriters may cease market-making at any time.

We cannot assure you that any market for the Notes will develop, or if one does develop, that it will be liquid. If the Notes are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on the number of holders of the Notes, the interest of securities dealers in making a market for the Notes, prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our credit rating, our operating performance and financial condition, the prospects for companies in our industry generally and other factors. If an active trading market does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely affected. As a result, we cannot ensure you that you will be able to sell any of the Notes at a particular time, at attractive prices, or at all. Thus, you may be required to bear the financial risk of your investment in the Notes indefinitely.

The terms of the Notes will require us to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of a specified change of control event at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued interest to the date of the purchase. Other financing arrangements we may enter into may also require repayment of amounts outstanding in the event of a specified change of control event and limit our ability to fund the repurchase of your Notes. It is possible that we will not have sufficient funds at the time of the specified change of control event to make the required repurchase of Notes or that restrictions in our credit facilities and other financing arrangements will not allow the repurchases. See “Description of Notes—Change of Control” in this prospectus supplement.

We have the right to redeem some or all of the Notes prior to maturity. We may redeem the Notes at times when prevailing interest rates may be relatively low. Accordingly, you may not be able to reinvest the amount received upon a redemption in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as that of the Notes.

Any statements made or implied in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and any free writing prospectus we may prepare in connection with this offering or in the documents incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and should be evaluated as such. The words “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “target”, “project”, “should”, “may”, “could”, “will” and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, future economic, political and social conditions in the countries in which we operate and their possible impact on our business and the effects of future regulation and the effects of competition. Such forward-looking statements reflect, among other things, our current expectations, plans, projections and strategies, anticipated financial results, future events and financial trends affecting our business, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors (in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus) that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things:

You should carefully consider the risks specified under the caption “Risk Factors” on page S-8 of this prospectus supplement and page 6 of the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus and in subsequent public statements or reports we file with the SEC, before making any investment decision with respect to our Notes. If any of these trends, risks or uncertainties actually occurs or continues, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading price of our Notes could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the SEC filings incorporated by reference into the accompanying prospectus.

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus contain, and any free writing prospectus we may prepare in connection with any offering contemplated hereby may contain, estimates, projections and other information concerning our industry, markets, products and services. These estimates, projections and other information may concern, among other things, our market position, size, number of unique visitors and page views compared to other online commerce platforms, the size of our markets, growth in internet penetration rates in our markets compared to internet penetration rates globally, the breadth and affordability of products and services listed on our websites compared to other online and offline venues, the cost to sellers of listing on our websites compared to other offline venues, credit card adoption and bank account penetration into Latin America, and similar matters. These estimates, projections and other information are generally based on data from third parties, which may include market research firms and trade, industry or governmental websites and publications, and may also be based on estimates and forecasts by our management. This information involves a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and limitations and we have not independently verified any of the information provided by third parties. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. These and other factors could cause actual industry, market and other conditions to differ materially from those reflected in these estimates, projections and other information, and you should not place undue reliance on any of this information.

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be approximately $    million. We intend to apply the net proceeds of the Notes offering for general corporate purposes.

The following description of the specific terms and conditions of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees supplements the description of the general terms and conditions set forth under “Description of Debt Securities” and “Description of Guarantees” in the accompanying prospectus. It is important for you to consider the information contained in the accompanying prospectus and this prospectus supplement before making an investment in the Notes. If any specific information regarding the Notes or the Subsidiary, as applicable, in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the more general terms and conditions of the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable, described in the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information contained in this prospectus supplement.

We will issue the Notes under an indenture and a supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes (together, the “Indenture”) to be entered into between us, the Subsidiary Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, registrar, paying agent and transfer agent (the “Trustee”). We summarize below certain provisions of the Indenture, but do not restate the Indenture in its entirety. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights. You may obtain a copy of the Indenture in the manner described under “Where You Can Find More Information” in the accompanying prospectus.

You can find the definition of capitalized terms used in this section of this prospectus supplement under “— Certain Definitions.” In this section, when we refer to:

The Notes will:

As of September 30, 2025, we had consolidated total liabilities of U.S.$30,473 million, including consolidated total indebtedness of U.S.$7,840 million and U.S.$3,030 million of secured indebtedness. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries, taken together, had U.S.$9,269 million of our consolidated total liabilities and U.S.$6,055 million of our consolidated total indebtedness, including U.S.$2,838 million of secured indebtedness. As of the same date, after giving effect to this offering and the application of the net proceeds from this offering as described under “Use of Proceeds” in this prospectus, we would have had consolidated total indebtedness of U.S.$   .

The Company will initially issue U.S.$    million aggregate principal amount of 20   Notes and U.S.$    million aggregate principal amount of 20   Notes, but may issue an unlimited principal amount of securities under the Indenture and may, without your consent, issue additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) in one or more transactions, which have substantially identical terms (other than issue price, issue date and date from which the interest will accrue) as Notes of the same series issued on the Issue Date. Any Additional Notes will be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes of the relevant series issued on the Issue Date, so that, among

other things, Holders of any Additional Notes will have the right to vote together with Holders of Notes of the same series issued on the Issue Date as one class. Any Additional Notes shall be issued with a separate CUSIP number unless the Additional Notes are issued pursuant to a “qualified reopening” of the original series of Notes, are otherwise treated as part of the same “issue” of debt instruments as the original series of Notes or are issued with no more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount, in each case for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Notes will be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes without coupons, registered in the name of a nominee of DTC, as depositary. The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of U.S.$200,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.

The 20   Notes will mature on    , 20   , and the 20   Notes will mature on    , 20   , unless earlier redeemed in accordance with the terms of each series of Notes. See “—Optional Redemption” below.

The Notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any mandatory sinking fund.

Interest on the 20   Notes will accrue at the rate of   % per year and interest on the 20   Notes will accrue at the rate of   % per year, and each will be payable semi-annually in arrears on     and     of each year, commencing on    , 2026. Payments will be made to the persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the     and    , as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day) and at maturity.

Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the Issue Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Initially, the Trustee will act as registrar, transfer agent and paying agent for the Notes. The Company may change the registrar, transfer agent and paying agent, without notice to Holders. Payments on Global Notes shall be made to DTC in accordance with its applicable procedures.

If any scheduled interest or principal payment date or any date for early redemption of the Notes is not a Business Day, the payment will be made on the next Business Day. No interest on the Notes will accrue as a result of this delay in payment.

The obligations of the Company pursuant to the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (a “Subsidiary Guarantee”), jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by MercadoLibre S.R.L., eBazar.com.br Ltda., Mercado Pago Instituição de Pagamento Ltda, DeRemate.com de México, S. de R.L. de C.V., MPFS, S. de R.L. de C.V., MP Agregador, S. de R.L. de C.V., MercadoLibre Chile Ltda., and MercadoLibre Colombia Ltda. (collectively, the “Initial Subsidiary Guarantors”) and any other Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) that becomes a guarantor in respect of Triggering Indebtedness (as defined below) (together with the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Initial Subsidiary Guarantors represented in the aggregate 77.1% of our consolidated total revenues for the nine-month period September 30, 2025.

Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of applicable law. By virtue of this limitation, a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligation under its Subsidiary Guarantee could be significantly less than amounts payable with respect to the Notes, or a Subsidiary Guarantor may have effectively no obligation under its Subsidiary Guarantee. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees—A finding that any of the Subsidiary Guarantors is subject to U.S. bankruptcy laws or similar laws in other Subsidiary Guarantor jurisdictions and that any of the Subsidiary Guarantees executed by it was a fraudulent conveyance could result in the relevant holders of the Notes losing their legal claim against that Subsidiary Guarantor” in this prospectus supplement.

We cannot assure you that this limitation will protect the Subsidiary Guarantees from fraudulent transfer challenges or, if it does, that the remaining amount due and collectible under the Subsidiary Guarantees would suffice, if necessary, to pay the Notes in full when due.

The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will terminate upon:

If any Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) becomes a guarantor of Triggering Indebtedness, within 60 business days of such event, the Company shall cause such Subsidiary to enter into a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor on terms substantially similar to other Subsidiary Guarantees, subject to modifications as determined by the Company in good faith to take into account any legal requirements or limitations applicable to such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Other than as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company shall have the right to designate, in its sole discretion, any Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Notes.

All payments made by us or on our behalf in respect of the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (each a “Tax”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is required by law or by official interpretation or administration thereof.

If the Company is obligated by law of any jurisdiction where a Subsidiary Guarantor is incorporated, resident or doing business for tax purposes or from or through which any such payment is made, or any political subdivision thereof (each a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), or by any taxing authority of a Relevant Jurisdiction to deduct any withholding Taxes from payments of interest to investors (or if a Subsidiary Guarantor is obligated to deduct any withholding Taxes from payments made under a Subsidiary Guarantee) we will (or, with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantee, such Subsidiary Guarantor will) pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by such Holder, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Taxes, will be equal to the amount such Holder would have received in the absence of such withholding or deduction.

However, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts is subject to several important exceptions. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, will not be required to pay Additional Amounts to any Holder for or on account of any of the following:

The Company will provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of taxes in respect of which we have paid any Additional Amount. Copies of such documentation will be made reasonably available to the Holders of the Notes or the relevant paying agent upon request.

Any reference in the accompanying prospectus, this prospectus supplement, the Indenture or the Notes to principal, premium, interest or any other amount payable in respect of the Notes by us will be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amount that may be payable with respect to that amount under the obligations referred to in this section.

Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its 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

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may 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 being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

“Par Call Date” means (i) with respect to the 20   Notes,     , 20   (   months prior to the maturity date of the 20    Notes) and (ii) with respect to the 20   Notes,    , 20   (   months prior to the maturity date of the 20     Notes).

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

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company or the Company’s designee (which will not be the Trustee) 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 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) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) 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 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 (3) 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 redemption date.

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company 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 Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company 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.

Calculation of the foregoing will be made by us or on our behalf by such Person as we shall designate; provided, however, that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee. The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

If the Company determines that, as a result of any amendment to or change in, the laws or treaties (or any rules or regulations, or if applicable, rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Jurisdiction, any taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation or application (including judicial or administrative interpretation or application, as applicable) of such laws, treaties, rules or, regulations or rulings, which amendment to or change in such laws, rules or, regulations or rulings is legislated or promulgated or, in the case of a change in official interpretation or application(including judicial or administrative interpretation or application, as applicable), is announced or otherwise made available on or after the later of the date of this prospectus and the date that the Relevant Jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Jurisdiction, the Company or a

Subsidiary Guarantor would be obligated, to pay any Additional Amounts in respect of a series (see “—Additional Amounts”), provided that the Company, in its business judgment, determines that such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it (including, without limitation, taking reasonable measures to change the paying agent), then, at our option, all, but not less than all, of the Notes of such series may be redeemed at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date due thereon up to but not including the date of redemption; provided that (1) no notice of redemption for tax reasons may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company (or a Subsidiary Guarantor) would be obligated to pay these Additional Amounts if a payment on such series of Notes were then due, and (2) at the time such notice of redemption is given such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect.

Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this provision, the Company will deliver to the Trustee:

In addition, the Notes of a series will be redeemable, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option beginning on the applicable Par Call Date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of such series of Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of such series of Notes being redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments of interest on such series of Notes that are due and payable on or prior to a date fixed for redemption of such series of Notes will be payable to the holders of those series of Notes registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record dates according to the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

Notice of any redemption will be given at least 10 but not more than 30 days before the redemption date to Holders of Notes to be redeemed in accordance with the provisions described in “—Notices” below.

We may make any redemption or redemption notice subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent. If such redemption or notice is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in our discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (but no more than 60 days after the date of the notice of redemption) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. 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.

Notes called for redemption will become due on the date fixed for redemption. The Company will pay the redemption price for the Notes called for redemption including accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the date of redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes as long as the Company has deposited with the paying agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price including accrued and unpaid interest thereon pursuant to the Indenture. Upon redemption of the Notes by the Company, the redeemed Notes will be cancelled and cannot be reissued.

If fewer than all of the Notes of a series are being redeemed, the Notes of such series to be redeemed shall be selected as follows: (1) if the Notes of such series are listed on an exchange, in compliance with the requirements of such exchange, (2) if the Notes of such series are not so listed but are in global form, then by lot or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC or the applicable depositary or (3) if the Notes of such series are not so listed and are not in global form, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, or, if the pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that the remaining principal amount of such Holder’s Note will not be less than U.S.$100,000. Upon surrender of any Note of a series redeemed in part, the holder will receive a new Note of such series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note of such series. Once notice of redemption is

sent to the Holders, Notes of such series called for redemption become due and payable at the redemption price on the redemption date, and, commencing on the redemption date, Notes of such series redeemed will cease to accrue interest (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price).

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, each Holder of Notes of a series will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion (in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000; provided that the remaining principal amount of such Holder’s Note will not be less than U.S.$100,000) of the Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the purchase date (the “Change of Control Payment”).

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, the Company must send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, offering to purchase the Notes as described above (a “Change of Control Offer”) as described in “—Notices” below. The Change of Control Offer will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be at least 30 but not more than 60 days from the date the notice is given, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”).

On the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, deposit with the paying agent funds in an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment, in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, as applicable, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

If only a portion of a Note is purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, a new Note in a principal amount equal to the portion thereof not purchased will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a Global Note will be made, as appropriate). Notes (or portions thereof) purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be cancelled and cannot be reissued.

The Company will have the right to redeem all of the Notes of a series at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of Notes of such series on a relevant record date to receive interest on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date), following the consummation of a Change of Control Repurchase Event if at least 90% of the Notes of such series outstanding prior to such consummation are purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer with respect to such Change of Control Repurchase Event.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent any such rule, laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of Notes in connection with a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Indenture, the Company will comply with such securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Indenture by doing so.

Other existing and future indebtedness of the Company may contain prohibitions on the occurrence of events that would constitute a Change of Control or require that Indebtedness be purchased upon a Change of Control. Moreover, the exercise by the Holders of their right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control may cause a default under such indebtedness even if the Change of Control itself does not.

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, the Company may not have available funds sufficient to make the Change of Control Payment for all the Notes that might be delivered by Holders seeking to accept the Change of Control Offer. In the event the Company is required to purchase outstanding Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, the Company expects that it would seek third-party financing to the extent it does not have available funds to meet its purchase obligations and any other obligations it may have. However, we cannot assure you that the Company would be able to obtain necessary financing, and the terms of the Indenture may restrict the ability of the Company to obtain such financing.

Holders will not be entitled to require the Company to purchase their Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization, leveraged buyout or similar transaction which is not a Change of Control.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if: (a) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (b) prior to the date the Change of Control Offer is required to be made, the Company has given notice of redemption in respect of all of the outstanding Notes in accordance with the Indenture.

The Company’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event may be waived or modified at any time prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control Repurchase Event with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes. See “—Modification of the Indenture.”

One of the events that constitutes a Change of Control under the Indenture is the disposition of “all or substantially all” of the Company’s assets under certain circumstances. This term varies based upon the facts and circumstances of the subject transaction and has not been interpreted under New York State law (which is the governing law of the Indenture) to represent a specific quantitative test. As a consequence, in certain circumstances there may be uncertainty in ascertaining whether a particular transaction involved a disposition of “all or substantially all” of the assets of a Person. In the event that Holders elect to require the Company to purchase the Notes and the Company contests such election, there can be no assurance as to how a court interpreting New York State law would interpret that phrase under certain circumstances.

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Liens of any kind (except for Permitted Liens) against or upon any of their respective properties or assets, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom, to secure any Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made to secure the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees and all other amounts due under the Indenture equally and ratably with such Indebtedness (or, in the event that such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees prior to such Indebtedness) with a Lien on the same properties and assets securing such Indebtedness for so long as such Indebtedness is secured by such Lien. The preceding sentence will not require the Company or any Subsidiary to equally and ratably secure the Notes if the Lien consists of a Permitted Lien.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction with respect to any property of such Person, unless either:

These restrictions will not apply to:

The Company will not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving or continuing Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any Subsidiary to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Subsidiaries), to any Person unless:

For purposes of this covenant, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Subsidiaries), will be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.

The provisions of clause (b) above will not apply to any merger or consolidation of the Company into an Affiliate of the Company incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction so long as the Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole is not increased thereby.

The foregoing provisions of this covenant shall not apply to (i) any transfer of assets by the Company to any Subsidiary, (ii) any transfer of assets among Subsidiaries, or (iii) any transfer of assets to the Company.

Upon any consolidation, combination or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with this covenant, in which the Company is not the continuing Person, the Surviving Entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, lease or transfer is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as such and the Company shall be relieved of its obligations under the Indenture and the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, compliance with this covenant will not affect the obligations of the Company (including a Surviving Entity, if applicable) under “—Change of Control,” if applicable.

No Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into any Person, or sell, convey, transfer or dispose of, all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to any Person, or permit any Person to merge with or into the Subsidiary Guarantor unless:

If at any point the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee in English (for distribution only to the Holders of Notes):

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company makes available the reports described in this covenant on its website, it will be deemed to have satisfied the reporting requirements set forth in such clause. The Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain if or when any reports have been made available on the Company’s website. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or any other Person’s compliance with any of its 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, the Company’s or any other Person’s compliance with the covenants described above or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under the Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve the Trustee of any obligations to monitor the Company’s timely delivery of all reports and certificates described in this section “—Reports to Holders.”

Notices to Holders of non-Global Notes will be mailed to them at their registered addresses by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee. Notices to Holders of Global Notes will be given to DTC in accordance with its applicable procedures.

Notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of delivery to DTC or mailing, as applicable, or of publication as aforesaid or, if published on different dates, on the date of the first such publication.

The following are “Events of Default” with respect to a series under the Indenture:

If an Event of Default of a series (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) above with respect to the Company) has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series may declare the unpaid principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes of such series to be immediately due and payable by notice in writing to the Company (if given by the Trustee or the Holders) and the Trustee (if given by the Holders) specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration.” If an Event of Default specified in clause (6) above occurs with respect to the Company, then the unpaid principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes of such series will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to a series of the Notes has been made as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

No rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any rights relating thereto.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series may waive any existing Default or Event of Default under the Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes of such series.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to all provisions of the Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes of a series have the right to 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.

No Holder of any Notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless:

The Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee written notice of such Default or Event of Default, the status thereof and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. In the absence of any such notice of Default or Event of Default from the Company, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default. The Indenture provides that if a Default or Event of Default occurs, is continuing and is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee give to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 60 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and Additional Amounts, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders.

The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors discharged with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”). Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes on the 91st day after the deposit specified in clause (1) of the second following paragraph, except for:

In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations released with respect to certain covenants that are described under “—Covenants” (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (other than non-payment and bankruptcy, receivership,

reorganization and insolvency events with respect to the Company) described under “—Events of Default” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in the Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes, and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Company, will execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, when:

From time to time, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, without the consent of the Holders, may amend, modify or supplement the Indenture and the Notes for the following purposes:

Other modifications to, amendments of, and supplements to, waivers to any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences (other than regarding a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes, except a payment Default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture or the Notes or the

Subsidiary Guarantees may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes of a series issued under the Indenture, except that, without the consent of each Holder of such series affected thereby, no amendment may (with respect to any Notes of such series held by a non-consenting Holder):

The Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will submit to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and New York state courts located in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, and the Company will appoint an agent for service of process with respect to any actions brought in these courts arising out of or based on the Indenture or the Notes.

According to the laws of the State of New York, claims against us for the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes must be made within six years from the due date for payment thereof.

The Bank of New York Mellon is the Trustee under the Indenture. The principal office of the Trustee is 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York, 10286, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration.

Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Trustee will exercise such

rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or similar founder, stockholder or member of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor will have any liability for or any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee or for any claims based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws or under corporate law of the State of Delaware.

We intend to apply to list the Notes on the Nasdaq Bond Exchange. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain listing of the Notes on such exchange.

The following sets forth certain of the defined terms used in the Indenture. Reference is made to the Indenture for full disclosure of all such terms, as well as any other terms used herein for which no definition is provided.

“Acquired Indebtedness” means Indebtedness of a Person or any of its subsidiaries existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company or at the time it merges or consolidates with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or is assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person. Acquired Indebtedness will be deemed to have been Incurred at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary or at the time it merges or consolidates with the Company or a Subsidiary or at the time such Indebtedness is assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person.

“Additional Amounts” has the meaning set forth under “—Additional Amounts” above.

“Additional Notes” has the meaning set forth under “—General” above.

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with such specified Person.

participation that confers on a Person the right to receive a share of the profits and losses of, or distributions of assets of, the issuing Person, but excluding from all of the foregoing any debt securities convertible into Capital Stock, whether or not such debt securities include any right of participation with Capital Stock.

“Capitalized Lease Obligations” means, as to any Person, the obligations of such Person under a lease that are required to be classified and accounted for as capital lease obligations under GAAP. For purposes of this definition, the amount of such obligations at any date will be the capitalized amount of such obligations at such date, determined in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of any Person that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on February 25, 2016 of an Accounting Standards Update (the “ASU”) shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of all financial definitions and calculations for purpose of the Indenture (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required in accordance with the ASU (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as Capitalized Lease Obligations.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (i)(A) the Company becomes a wholly-owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (B) the Holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the Holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction, (ii) pursuant to a transaction in which the shares of the Voting Stock of the Surviving Entity immediately after giving effect to such transaction are substantially the same as the Holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (iii) the “person” referenced in clause (2) of the preceding sentence previously became the beneficial owner of the Company’s Voting Stock so as to have constituted a Change of Control in respect of which a Change of Control Offer was made (or otherwise would have if not for the waiver of such requirement by the Holders of the Notes).

“Change of Control Payment” has the meaning set forth under “—Change of Control.”

“Change of Control Payment Date” has the meaning set forth under “—Change of Control.”

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Downgrade Event.

“Consolidated Total Assets” means, at any date of determination, the total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and VIEs on a consolidated basis, as shown on the most recent quarterly financial statements of the Company provided to the Trustee pursuant to “Covenants—Reports to Holders” (or required to be provided thereunder), calculated in accordance with GAAP and on a pro forma basis to give effect to any acquisition or disposition of companies, divisions, lines of businesses or operations or assets by the Company and its Subsidiaries and VIEs subsequent to such date and on or prior to the date of determination.

commencing on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control and (ii) the first public notice of the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control, and ending 60 days thereafter (which Trigger Period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies). In the event that less than two Rating Agencies are providing a rating for the Notes at the commencement of any Trigger Period, then a “Rating Downgrade Event” shall be deemed to have occurred during that Trigger Period.

The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder of a Note. This summary is based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, applicable Treasury regulations, laws, rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary deals only with beneficial owners of Notes that will hold Notes as capital assets and acquired notes upon original issuance at their issue price. This summary does not address particular tax considerations that may be applicable to investors that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, tax-exempt entities, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities electing to mark to market, persons that will hold Notes as a position in a “straddle” or conversion transaction, or as part of a “synthetic security” or other integrated financial transaction, entities taxed as partnerships or the partners therein, U.S. expatriates, nonresident alien individuals present in the United States for more than 182 days in a taxable year, or U.S. holders (defined below) that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar.

This summary addresses only U.S. federal income tax consequences, and does not address consequences arising under state, local, foreign tax laws, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on net investment income or under special timing rules prescribed under section 451(b) of the Code. Investors should consult their own tax advisors in determining the tax consequences to them of holding Notes under such tax laws, as well as the application to their particular situation of the U.S. federal income tax considerations discussed below.

As used herein, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of a Note that is a citizen or resident of the United States or a U.S. domestic corporation or that otherwise will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of the Note. A “Non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of a Note that is an individual, corporation, foreign estate, or foreign trust that is not a U.S. holder.

Payments of Interest and Additional Amount. The gross amount of stated interest and Additional Amounts (i.e., without reduction for any withholding tax applicable to the U.S. holder) will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is actually or constructively received, in accordance with the holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is expected, and this discussion assumes, that the Notes will be issued without original issue discount (“OID”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, however, if a series of Notes is issued with OID at or above a de minimis threshold, a U.S. holder will be required to include OID with respect to that series of Notes in gross income, as ordinary income, under a “constant-yield method” before the receipt of cash attributable to such income, regardless of the U.S. holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Payments (including by one or more of our Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiary Guarantees) of stated interest (including Additional Amounts) generally will constitute income from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, if any such payment is subject to non-U.S. withholding tax, a U.S. holder may not be able to credit the tax against its U.S. federal income tax liability unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable conditions and limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. The calculation of foreign tax credits and, in the case of a U.S. holder that elects to deduct foreign taxes, the availability of such deduction, are complex and involves the application of rules that depend on a U.S. holder’s particular circumstances. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits or deductions in their particular situations.

Sale, Exchange and Retirement of Notes. Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a Note, a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement (less any accrued and unpaid interest, which will be taxable as such) and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in such Note. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in a note will generally equal the cost of the Note to such holder. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the Note for more than one year at the time of disposition. Long-term capital gains recognized by an individual holder generally are subject to tax at a lower rate than short-term capital gains or ordinary income. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Capital gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder generally will be U.S. source gain or loss. Consequently, if any such gain is subject to withholding tax, a U.S. holder may not be able to credit the tax against its U.S. federal income tax liability unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable conditions and limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the foreign tax credit implications of a disposition of the Notes.

Payments of Interest. Subject to the discussions below under “—FATCA” and “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” payments of interest on the Notes to a Non-U.S. holder generally will be exempt from withholding of U.S. federal income tax under the portfolio interest exemption provided that (i) the Non-U.S. holder properly certifies as to its foreign status by providing a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or appropriate substitute form) to the applicable withholding agent; (ii) the Non-U.S. holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of our stock entitled to vote; and (iii) the Non-U.S. holder is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us actually or constructively through stock ownership.

Sale, Exchange and Retirement of Notes. Subject to the discussion below under “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain recognized on a sale, exchange or retirement of Notes.

Under the U.S. tax rules known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), a holder of Notes will generally be subject to 30% U.S. withholding tax on interest payments on the Notes if the holder is not FATCA compliant, or holds its Notes through a foreign financial institution that is not FATCA compliant. In order to be treated as FATCA compliant, a holder must provide certain documentation (usually an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) containing information about its identity, its FATCA status, and if required, its direct and indirect U.S. owners. These requirements may be modified by the adoption or implementation of an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another country or by future U.S. Treasury Regulations. If any taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any payments in respect of the Notes as a result of a beneficial owner or intermediary’s failure to comply with the foregoing rules, no additional amounts will be paid on the Notes as a result of the deduction or withholding of such tax.

Documentation that holders provide in order to be treated as FATCA compliant may be reported to the IRS and other tax authorities, including information about a holder’s identity, its FATCA status, and if applicable, its direct and indirect U.S. owners. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors about how information reporting and the possible imposition of withholding tax under FATCA may apply to their investment in the Notes.

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments on the Notes made to, and the proceeds of dispositions of Notes effected by, a holder that is a United States person (as defined in the Code). In addition, United States persons may be subject to backup withholding in respect of such amounts if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers and, if applicable, certification of exempt status, to the person from whom they receive payments. A holder that is not a United States person may be required to comply with applicable certification procedures to establish its exemption from information reporting requirements and backup withholding. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a holder will be allowed as a credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

The following discussion summarizes the material Argentine tax considerations relevant to (i) the purchase, ownership and sale of the Notes by a Non-Argentine Resident (defined below) and (ii) the receipt by a Non-Argentine Resident of payments made under the guaranty of the Notes by one or more of our Subsidiary Guarantors organized under the laws of Argentina (each, an “Argentine Guaranty Payment”).

This discussion is based on the tax laws of Argentina as in effect on the date of this prospectus supplement, as well as regulations, rulings and court decisions in Argentina available on or before such date and currently in effect,

all of which are subject to change. No assurance can be given that the courts or tax authorities responsible for the administration of the laws and regulations will agree with this summary. Prospective purchasers of the Notes should consult their own tax advisors as to the Argentine tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and sale of the Notes, applicable to their particular situations, as well as the application of state, local, foreign or other tax laws. The tax consequences described below do not take into account the effects of any tax treaties or reciprocity of tax treatment entered into by Argentina and other countries, which should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis by the Non-Argentine Resident.

For the purposes of the Income Tax, we consider that an individual is “Argentine Resident” when the individual (i) is of Argentine nationality (or naturalized) who has not lost the tax resident status or; (ii) is a foreigner who has obtained permanent residence status in Argentina or has legally been living in the country for twelve months or more.

Argentine citizens will lose resident status when they become permanent residents in a foreign state, or when they stay uninterrupted in a foreign country for at least twelve (12) months.

An individual is considered an Argentine resident, even if he/she has obtained permanent residence in a foreign country, or has lost residence status in the Argentine Republic because the person is regarded as resident of another country for tax purposes, when they actually live in Argentina or reenter the country in order to remain in it and the following conditions take place in the order described below:

The following are also considered Argentine residents: (i) undivided estates in which the taxpayer, at the time of his or her death, was a resident in the Argentine Republic, in accordance with the abovementioned; (ii) individuals who are abroad and act as official representatives within the National State or in the performance of the duties entrusted by the National State, the Provinces or Municipalities or the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires; and (iii) civil servants of Argentine nationality who perform their duties at international agencies of which the Argentine Republic is a member state.

On the other hand, the following are considered “Non-Argentine Residents” for income tax purposes: (i) a foreign individual who has not acquired Argentine tax resident status due to their permanent residence in Argentina or by living in the country for twelve months or more; (ii) an Argentine citizen that has lost the Argentine tax resident status as explained above; (iii) persons who remain permanently in Argentina because they are part of diplomatic or consular missions of foreign countries in Argentina, as well as the technical and administrative staff; representatives and agents working at international agencies, of which the Argentine Republic is a member, and who perform their duties in Argentina, provided they are foreigners and not residents at the moment of hiring them; (iv) foreign individuals hired to perform their duties in Argentina for a period no longer than 5 years and foreign students or researchers with temporary residence permits in Argentina.

Generally, a Non-Argentine Resident is subject to tax in Argentina only when income is derived from an Argentine source or when the transaction giving rise to such earnings involves assets located in Argentina. Since we are considered to be domiciled outside of Argentina for tax purposes, any interest, gains, fees, commissions, expenses and any other income paid by us in respect of the Notes to Non-Argentine Residents should not be subject to withholding or deduction in respect of Argentine income tax or any other taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in Argentina, provided that such payments are made by us with funds held outside of Argentina.

Any capital gains generated outside Argentina as a result of a transaction between two Non-Argentine Residents with respect to assets not located in Argentina are generally not subject to tax in Argentina. Since the

Notes will be issued by a legal entity incorporated outside of Argentina and registered abroad, the Notes should not be considered assets located in Argentina for this purpose, and gains realized on the sale or other disposition of the Notes made outside Argentina by a Non-Argentine Resident to another Non-Argentine Resident should not be subject to Argentine taxes.

If we fail to timely pay any amount due, including any payment of principal, interest or any other amount that may be due and payable in respect of the Notes, our Subsidiary Guarantors generally will be required to assume the obligation to pay such amounts. Our Argentine Subsidiary Guarantors intend to take the position that Argentine Guaranty Payments to Non-Argentine Residents should not be subject to the imposition of Argentine taxes.

However, if Argentine taxes were to be imposed on Argentine Guaranty Payments, a Non-Argentine Resident generally would be entitled to receive Additional Amounts so that, after payment of applicable Argentine taxes imposed by deduction or withholding, subject to certain exceptions, as described in “Description of Notes—Additional Amounts,” the Non-Argentine Resident would receive an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such taxes been deducted or withheld. See “Description of Notes—Additional Amounts.”

There are no stamp, transfer or other similar taxes in Argentina applicable to the transfer, assignment or sale of any debt instrument outside of Argentina (including the Notes) by Non-Argentine Residents nor any inheritance, gift or succession tax applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of the Notes by Non- Argentine Residents to other Non- Argentine Residents.

In the case of enforcement of the Notes against one or more of our Subsidiary Guarantors organized under the laws of Argentina, court taxes must be paid by the person filing a claim in court and the rates of such court taxes vary from one jurisdiction to another.

The following discussion summarizes the material Brazilian tax considerations relevant to (i) the purchase, ownership and sale of the Notes by a Non-Brazilian Resident (defined below) and (ii) the receipt by a Non-Brazilian Resident of payments made under the guaranty of the Notes by one or more of our Subsidiary Guarantors organized under the laws of Brazil (each, a “Brazilian Guaranty Payment”).

This discussion is based on the tax laws of Brazil as in effect on the date of this prospectus supplement, as well as regulations, rulings and decisions in Brazil available on or before such date and currently in effect, all of which are subject to change. No assurance can be given that the courts or tax authorities responsible for the administration of the laws and regulations will agree with this summary. Prospective purchasers of the Notes should consult their own tax advisors as to the Brazilian tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and sale of the Notes, applicable to their particular situations, as well as the application of state, local, foreign or other tax laws. The tax consequences described below do not take into account the effects of any tax treaties or reciprocity of tax treatment entered into by Brazil and other countries, which should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis by the Non-Brazilian Resident.

As used herein, a “Non-Brazilian Resident” means an individual, entity, trust or organization that is domiciled for tax purposes outside Brazil.

Generally, a Non-Brazilian Resident is subject to income tax in Brazil only when income is derived from a Brazilian source or when the transaction giving rise to such earnings involves assets located in Brazil. Since we are considered to be domiciled abroad for tax purposes, any interest, gains, fees, commissions, expenses and any other income paid by us in respect of the Notes to Non-Brazilian Residents should not be subject to withholding or deduction in respect of Brazilian income tax or any other taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in Brazil, provided that such payments are made by us with funds held outside of Brazil.

Any capital gains generated outside Brazil as a result of a transaction between two Non-Brazilian Residents with respect to assets not located in Brazil are generally not subject to tax in Brazil. If the assets are located in

Brazil, then capital gains realized thereon are subject to income tax, according to Section 26 of Law No. 10,833, enacted on December 29, 2003. Since the Notes will be issued by a legal entity incorporated outside of Brazil and registered abroad, the Notes should not fall within the definition of assets located in Brazil for purposes of Law No. 10,833, and gains realized on the sale or other disposition of the Notes made outside Brazil by a Non-Brazilian Resident to another Non-Brazilian Resident should not be subject to Brazilian taxes. However, considering the general and unclear scope of this legislation and the absence of definitive judicial guidance in respect thereof, we cannot assure prospective investors that such interpretation of this law will ultimately prevail in the courts of Brazil.

If the income tax is deemed to be due, any gains derived from the disposition of the Notes may be subject to income tax in Brazil, effective as from January 1, 2017 (as confirmed by Declaratory Act No. 3, of April 27, 2016), at progressive rates as follows: (i) 15% for the part of the gain that does not exceed R$5 million, (ii) 17.5% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$5 million but does not exceed R$10 million, (iii) 20% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$10 million but does not exceed R$30 million and (iv) 22.5% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$30 million; or 25.0% if such Non-Brazilian Resident is located in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction as it will be further detailed below. A lower rate, however, may apply under an applicable tax treaty between Brazil and the country where the Non-Brazilian Resident is domiciled.

If we fail to timely pay any amount due, including any payment of principal, interest or any other amount that may be due and payable in respect of the Notes, our Subsidiary Guarantors generally will be required to assume the obligation to pay such amounts. As there is no specific legal provision dealing with the imposition of withholding income tax on payments made by Brazilian sources to Non-Brazilian Resident beneficiaries under guarantees and no uniform decision from the Brazilian courts, there is a risk that tax authorities will take the position that the funds remitted by a Brazilian Subsidiary Guarantor to a Non-Brazilian Resident may be subject to the imposition of withholding income tax at a general 15% rate, or at a 25% rate, if the Non-Brazilian Resident is located in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction. Arguments exist to sustain that (a) payments made under the guarantee structure should be subject to imposition of withholding income tax according to the nature of the guaranteed payment, in which case only interest and fees should be subject to taxation at a rate of 15%, or 25%, in cases of beneficiaries located in Low or Nil Tax Jurisdictions, as defined by the Brazilian legislation; or (b) Brazilian Guaranty Payments to Non-Brazilian Resident beneficiaries should not be subject to the imposition of withholding income tax, to the extent that they should qualify as a credit transaction by the Brazilian party to the issuer. The imposition of withholding income tax under these circumstances has not been settled by the Brazilian courts.

If Brazilian taxes were to be imposed on Brazilian Guaranty Payments, a Non-Brazilian Resident generally would be entitled to receive Additional Amounts so that, after payment of applicable Brazilian taxes imposed by deduction or withholding, subject to certain exceptions, as described in “Description of Notes—Additional Amounts,” the Non-Brazilian Resident would receive an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such taxes been deducted or withheld. See “Description of Notes—Additional Amounts.”

According to Law No. 9,430, dated December 27, 1996, as amended, a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction is a country or location that (i) does not impose taxation on income, (ii) imposes income tax at a maximum rate lower than 20% or (iii) imposes restrictions on the disclosure of shareholding composition or the ownership of the investment.

Additionally, on June 24, 2008, Law No. 11,727/08 created the concept of Privileged Tax Regimes, which encompasses the countries and jurisdictions that (i) do not tax income or tax it at a maximum rate lower than 17%; (ii) grant tax advantages to a Non-Brazilian Resident (a) without the need to carry out a substantial economic activity in the country or a said territory or (b) conditioned to the non-exercise of a substantial economic activity in the country or a said territory; (iii) do not tax proceeds generated abroad or tax them at a maximum rate lower than 17% or (iv) restrict disclosure about the ownership of assets and ownership rights or restrict disclosure about economic transactions carried out.

We believe that the best interpretation of the current Brazilian tax legislation should lead to the conclusion that the concept of Privileged Tax Regimes should only apply for certain Brazilian tax purposes, such as transfer pricing and thin capitalization rules. According to this interpretation, the concept of Privileged Tax Regimes should not be applied in connection with the taxation of payments related to the Notes to Non-Brazilian Residents.

The Brazilian tax authorities currently take the position that a 15% withholding tax rate applies to payments made from Brazil (including a Brazilian Guaranty Payment) to beneficiaries resident in Privileged Tax Regimes (Tax Ruling COSIT no. 575, of December 20, 2017). Such ruling is currently binding to all tax inspection procedures carried out by Brazilian Internal Revenue Service, as per Section 33 of Normative Ruling n. 2,058/2021.

We cannot assure you, that Brazilian tax authorities will not review such interpretation in the future. In the event that such COSIT is changed, tax authorities may determine that payments made to Non-Brazilian Residents benefitting from a Privileged Tax Regime are subject to the same rules applicable to payments made to Non-Resident Holders located in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction, so that the withholding income tax applicable to such payments could be assessed at a rate up to 25%.

Prospective investors should therefore consult with their own tax advisors regarding the consequences of the implementation of Law No. 11,727, Normative Instruction No. 1,037/2010, as amended, and of any related Brazilian tax laws or regulations concerning Low or Nil Tax Jurisdictions and Privileged Tax Regimes.

Pursuant to Decree No. 6,306/2007, as amended, conversions of foreign currency into Brazilian currency or vice-versa are subject to the Tax on Foreign Exchange Transactions (Imposto sobre Operações de Crédito, Câmbio e Seguro, ou relativas a Títulos e Valores Mobiliários), or IOF/Exchange, including foreign exchange transactions in connection with payments made by the Brazilian Guarantors to a Non-Brazilian Resident.

Currently, except when specifically provided for in legislation, the IOF/Exchange is assessed at a 0.38% rate for inbound foreign exchange transactions and at a 3.5% rate for outbound foreign exchange transactions, including foreign exchange transactions in connection with payments under guarantees made to Non-Resident Holders.

The Brazilian government may increase the current IOF/Exchange rate at any time, up to a maximum rate of 25%. Any such new rate would only apply to future foreign exchange transactions. The IOF/Exchange is a cost of the local paying party, as the financial institution responsible for the foreign exchange transaction the party liable for collection of the tax.

There are no stamp, transfer or other similar taxes in Brazil applicable to the transfer, assignment or sale of any debt instrument outside Brazil (including the Notes) nor any inheritance, gift or succession tax applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of the Notes, except for gift and inheritance taxes imposed by some states of Brazil on gifts and bequests by a Non-Brazilian Resident to individuals or entities domiciled or residing within such Brazilian states.

The following is a general summary of the material consequences under Chilean tax law, as currently in effect, of (i) the purchase, ownership and sale of the Notes by a Non-Chilean Resident (as defined below) and (ii) the receipt by a Non-Chilean Resident of payments made under the guaranty of the Notes by one or more of our Subsidiary Guarantors organized under the laws of Chile (each, a “Chilean Guarantor”). It is based on the tax laws of Chile as in effect on the date of this prospectus supplement, as well as regulations, rulings and decisions of Chile available on or before such date and now in effect. All of the foregoing is subject to change. Under Chilean law, provisions contained in statutes such as tax rates applicable to foreign investors, the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected may be amended only by another law or international tax treaty. In addition, the Chilean tax authorities enact rulings and regulations of either general or specific application and interpret the provisions of Chilean tax law. Chilean tax law may not be applied retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings, regulations or interpretations, but Chilean tax authorities may change their rulings, regulations or interpretations prospectively.

For purposes of this summary, the term “Non-Chilean Resident” means either (i) in the case of an individual, a person who is not resident or domiciled in Chile (for purposes of Chilean taxation, (a) an individual holder is deemed a resident in Chile if he or she has remained in Chile, uninterruptedly or not, for a period or periods that in total exceed 183 days within any 12-month period and (b) an individual is domiciled in Chile if he or she resides in Chile with the actual or presumptive intent of staying in Chile (such intention to be primarily evidenced by circumstances of an economic nature such as if Chile is the place in which he or she develops the activity that generates most of his or her income or if it is the country in which most of his or her main business interests are located)); or (ii) in the case of a legal entity, a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile, unless the Notes are assigned to a branch or a permanent establishment of such entity in Chile.

Under the Chilean Income Tax Law, a Non-Chilean Resident is subject to withholding income tax on its Chilean source income, generally at a rate of 35%. For this purpose, Chilean source income refers to earnings from activities performed in Chile or from the sale, disposition, or other transactions involving assets or goods located in Chile.

The Notes should not be considered assets located in Chile, and therefore, any capital gain realized by a Non-Chilean Resident on the sale or other disposition of the Notes would not be subject to Chilean income taxes. A payment of interest by a Chilean Guarantor to a Non-Chilean Resident would be subject to a 35% withholding tax in Chile; however, a lower rate may apply as a result of a double taxation treaty between Chile and the country of residence of the beneficial owner of such interest. Other payments by a Chilean Guarantor to a Non-Chilean Resident may be subject to a withholding tax of up to 35%, unless a lower rate or exemption applies under a double taxation treaty between Chile and the beneficial owner’s country of residence. If withholding tax does not apply due to an exemption or treaty, a 19% value added tax may be imposed on payments for services deemed rendered or used in Chile.

If Chilean taxes were to be imposed on payments made by a Chilean Guarantor, a Non-Chilean Resident generally would be entitled to receive Additional Amounts so that, after payment of applicable Chilean taxes imposed by deduction or withholding, subject to certain exceptions, as described in “Description of Notes—Additional Amounts,” the Non-Chilean Resident would receive an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such taxes been deducted or withheld. See “Description of Notes—Additional Amounts.”

The Notes would be subject to a stamp tax under Decree Law No. 3,475 of 1980, as amended, either upon their registration in the accounting records of the respective Chilean Guarantor or at the time the Notes (i.e., the actual document) to be enforced in Chile are brought into the country or notarized, whichever occurs first. The stamp tax is levied at a rate of 0.066% per month or fraction thereof, calculated on the principal amount, with a maximum of 0.8% of such principal amount.

There are no stamp, transfer, or other similar taxes in Chile applicable to the transfer, assignment, or sale of any debt instrument outside Chile (including the Notes), nor any inheritance, gift, or succession tax applicable to the ownership, transfer, or disposition of the Notes by a Non-Chilean Resident, except for gift and inheritance taxes imposed on gifts and bequests by a Non-Chilean Resident to individuals or entities domiciled or resident in Chile that consist of assets located outside of Chile (including the Notes) which were acquired by the Non-Chilean Resident with resources or funds from within Chile.

The following discussion summarizes the material Colombian tax considerations relevant to (i) the purchase, ownership and sale of the Notes by a Non-Colombian Resident (defined below) and (ii) the receipt by a Non-Colombian Resident of payments made under the guaranty of the Notes by one or more of our Subsidiary Guarantors organized under the laws of Colombia (each, a “Colombian Guaranty Payment”).

This discussion is based on the tax laws of Colombia as in effect on the date of this prospectus supplement, as well as regulations, rulings and decisions in Colombia available on or before such date and currently in effect, all of which are subject to change. No assurance can be given that the courts or tax authorities responsible for the administration of the laws and regulations will agree with this summary. Prospective purchasers of the Notes should consult their own tax advisors as to the Colombian tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and sale of the Notes, applicable to their particular situations, as well as the application of state, local, foreign or other tax laws. The tax consequences described below do not take into account the effects of any tax treaties or reciprocity of tax treatment entered into by Colombia and other countries, which should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis by the Non-Colombian Resident.

A “Non-Colombian Resident” means an individual that is not a tax resident of Colombia or a company or other entity neither organized/domiciled under the laws of Colombia nor having its effective place of business in Colombia.

Under Colombian tax law, a company is deemed to be tax resident whenever it (i) is incorporated under the laws of Colombia, (ii) has its domicile in Colombia or (iii) has its effective place of management in Colombia.

An individual is deemed to be a tax resident of Colombia if he or she meets any of the following criteria:

In any of the six cases immediately above, a Colombian national should not be considered as a tax resident if:

As our effective place of management is not in Colombia, our payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes to Non-Colombian Residents, or the income resulting from the sale of the Notes by Non-Colombian Residents, will not be subject to Colombian income tax, and such investors will not be required to file any tax returns in Colombia solely by reason of their investment in the Notes.

There are no stamp, transfer or other similar taxes in Colombia applicable to the transfer, assignment or sale of any debt instrument outside Colombia (including the Notes) nor any inheritance, gift or succession tax applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of the Notes, provided that there is not a Colombian debtor involved (for the purposes of this offering, the Colombian Subsidiary Guarantor acts a guarantor instead of a debtor).

If we fail to timely pay any amount due, including any payment of principal, interest or any other amount that may be due and payable in respect of the Notes, our Subsidiary Guarantors generally will be required to assume the obligation to pay such amounts. Colombian Guaranty Payments to Non-Colombian Residents will not be deemed Colombian source income as these payments would be regarded as payments made by the respective Colombian Subsidiary Guarantor acting as a guarantor instead of a debtor, under a transaction executed outside of Colombia, giving rise to foreign indebtedness outside of Colombia.

However, if Colombian taxes were to be imposed on Colombian Guaranty Payments, a Non-Colombian Resident generally would be entitled to Additional Amounts so that, after payment of applicable Colombian taxes imposed by deduction or withholding, subject to certain exceptions, as described in “Description of Notes—Additional Amounts,” the Non-Colombian Resident would receive an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such taxes been deducted or withheld. See “Description of Notes—Additional Amounts.”

The following discussion summarizes the material Mexican tax considerations relevant to (i) the purchase, ownership and sale of the Notes by a Non-Mexican Resident (defined below) and (ii) the receipt by a Non-Mexican Resident of payments made under the guaranty of the Notes by one or more of our Subsidiary Guarantors organized under the laws of Mexico and that qualify as Mexican residents for tax purposes (each, a “Mexican Guaranty Payment”).

This discussion is based on the tax laws of Mexico as in effect on the date of this prospectus supplement, as well as regulations, rulings and decisions in Mexico available on or before such date and currently in effect, all of which are subject to change. No assurance can be given that the courts or tax authorities responsible for the administration of the laws and regulations will agree with this summary. Prospective purchasers of the Notes should consult their own tax advisors as to the Mexican tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and sale of the Notes, applicable to their particular situations, as well as the application of state, local, foreign or other tax laws. The tax consequences described below do not take into account the effects of any tax treaties or reciprocity of tax treatment entered into by Mexico and other countries, which should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis by the Non-Mexican Resident.

As used herein, a “Non-Mexican Resident” means an individual that is not a resident of Mexico for tax purposes or a company or other entity that has established its main administration or its place of effective management abroad, and that does not conduct any activity through a permanent establishment in Mexico, or whose income is not attributable to any such permanent establishment.

Non-Mexican Residents will not be subject to taxation in Mexico in respect of the Notes, except with respect to a Mexican Guaranty Payment of interest, as described below.

If we fail to timely pay any amount due, including any payment of principal, interest or any other amount that may be due and payable in respect of the Notes, our Subsidiary Guarantors generally will be required to assume the obligation to pay such amounts. Under existing Mexican laws and regulations, Mexican Guaranty Payments of principal under the Notes to a Non-Mexican Resident will not be subject to any taxes or duties imposed or levied by or on behalf of Mexico. Mexican Guaranty Payments of interest to Non-Mexican Residents, however, will be subject to income tax in Mexico, according to the following tax regime:

If Mexican taxes were to be imposed on Mexican Guaranty Payments, a Non-Mexican Resident generally would be entitled to receive Additional Amounts so that, after payment of applicable Mexican taxes imposed by deduction or withholding, subject to certain exceptions, as described in “Description of Notes—Additional Amounts,” the Non-Mexican Resident would receive an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such taxes been deducted or withheld. See “Description of Notes—Additional Amounts.”

There are no stamp, transfer or other similar taxes in Mexico applicable to the transfer, assignment or sale of any debt instrument issued by a non-Mexican resident company with a guarantee granted by a Mexican guarantor (including the Notes) nor any inheritance, gift or succession tax applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of the Notes.

We have entered into an underwriting agreement with respect to the Notes with the underwriters listed below, for whom Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are acting as representatives. Subject to certain conditions, each of the underwriters has severally, and not jointly, agreed to purchase the respective principal amounts of Notes indicated in the following table:

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the Notes are subject to certain conditions, including the receipt of legal opinions relating to certain matters. The underwriters must purchase all of the Notes if they purchase any of the Notes. If an underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of any of these 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 officers’ 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.

We and each of the Guarantors have agreed that, for a period of 30 days from the date of this prospectus, we and they will not, 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 or any of the Guarantors and having a tenor of more than one year. The representatives in their sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice.

The Notes sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the prices to the public set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement and may be offered to certain dealers at these prices less a concession not in excess of    % of the aggregate principal amount of the 20     Notes and    % of the aggregate principal amount of the 20     Notes. The underwriters may allow, and those dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess of    % of the aggregate principal amount of the 20    Notes and    % of the aggregate principal amount of the 20     Notes to certain other dealers. If all of the Notes are not sold at the prices to the public, the underwriters may change the prices to the public and the other selling terms. The underwriters may offer and sell the 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 respective underwriting discounts that we will pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering:

The expenses of this offering, not including the respective underwriting discounts, are estimated to be approximately $   .

Each series of the Notes will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We intend to apply to list the Notes on Nasdaq. We have been advised by the underwriters that the underwriters intend to make a market in the Notes, but they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of any trading markets for the Notes.

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment for the Notes on or about the date specified on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which is the third business day following the date of this prospectus supplement (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market are generally required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on any day prior to the business date before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the prices of the Notes. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater aggregate principal amount of Notes than they are required to purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market prices of the Notes while this offering is in process.

These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market prices of the Notes. As a result, the prices of the Notes may be higher than the prices that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees may purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to assets, securities or instruments of ours (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) or persons and entities with relationships with us.

If any of the underwriters or their affiliates has a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates 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, these 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 respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments.

Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of any of the Notes of any series offered by this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The Notes of each series offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such Notes be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes of any series offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in any jurisdiction in which or to any person to whom such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

The Notes are not authorized for public offering in Argentina by the Argentine Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores, “CNV”) and they may not be sold publicly under the Argentine Capital Markets Law No. 26,831, as amended and complemented. Therefore, any such transaction must be made privately.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered with the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários, or “CVM”) and, therefore, will not be carried out by any means that would constitute a public offering in Brazil under CVM Resolution No. 160, dated 13 July 2022, as amended, or unauthorized distribution under Brazilian laws and regulations. The Notes will be authorized for trading on organized non-Brazilian securities markets and may only be offered to Brazilian Professional Investors (as defined by applicable CVM regulation), who may only acquire the Notes through a non-Brazilian account, with settlement outside Brazil in non-Brazilian currency. The trading of the Notes on regulated securities markets in Brazil is prohibited.

The Notes may be sold only to purchasers purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principal that are accredited investors, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), and are permitted clients, as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. Any resale of the Notes must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.

Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus (including any amendment thereto) contains a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

Pursuant to section 3A.3 of National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts (NI 33-105), the underwriters are not required to comply with the disclosure requirements of NI 33-105 regarding underwriter conflicts of interest in connection with this offering.

The Notes may not be offered or sold in Chile, directly or indirectly, by means of a “public offer” (as defined under the Chilean Securities Market Law and regulations from the Chilean Financial Market Commission (Comisión para el Mercado Financero, or the “CMF”). Chilean institutional investors (such as banks, pension funds and insurance companies) are required to comply with specific restrictions relating to the purchase of the Notes.

Pursuant to Chilean law, a public offering of securities is an offering that is addressed to the general public or to certain specific categories and/or groups thereof. Considering that the definition of public offer is broad, even an offering addressed to a small group of investors may be considered to be addressed to a certain specific category or group of the public and therefore be considered public under applicable law.

On June 27, 2012, the CMF issued General Rule No. 336, amended on February 22, 2021, by means of General Rule No. 452 (as amended, Norma de Carácter General No. 336, or NCG 336), which is intended to govern the private offering of securities in Chile. NCG 336 provides that the offering of securities that meet the conditions described therein shall not be considered public offerings in Chile and shall be exempted from complying with the general rules applicable to public offerings.

The following information is provided to prospective investors pursuant to NCG 336:

The Notes shall not be subject to public offering in Chile unless registered with the relevant securities registry kept by the CMF.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered in the Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores (the Colombian National Registry of Securities and Issuers) maintained by the Colombian Superintendence of Finance. Therefore, the Notes may not be offered, sold or negotiated in Colombia, except under circumstances which do not constitute a public offering of securities under applicable Colombian securities laws and regulations. Furthermore, foreign financial entities must abide by the terms of Decree 2555 of 2010 to offer privately the Notes to their Colombian clients.

The Notes may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For the purposes of this provision:

Consequently, no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

The Notes may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of this provision:

Consequently, no key information document required by the UK PRIIPs Regulation for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation

The Notes may not be offered or sold in Hong Kong, by means of any document, other than (a) to “professional investors” as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the laws of Hong Kong) (the “SFO”) and any rules made thereunder; or (b) in other circumstances which do not result in the document being a “prospectus” as defined in the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “CO”) or which do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of the CO. No advertisement, invitation or document relating to the Notes, which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public of Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the securities laws of Hong Kong) may be issued, other than with respect to the Notes which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” as defined in the SFO and any rules made thereunder.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered pursuant to Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. Accordingly, none of the Notes nor any interest therein may be offered or sold,

directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any “resident” of Japan (which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan), or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to or for the benefit of a resident of Japan, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and any other applicable laws, regulations and ministerial guidelines of Japan in effect at the relevant time.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered with the Mexican National Securities Registry (Registro Nacional de Valores) maintained by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, or the “CNBV”), and therefore, may not be offered or sold publicly in Mexico or otherwise be subject to intermediation activities in Mexico, however, the Notes may only be offered and sold in Mexico on a private placement basis to investors that qualify as institutional or qualified investors pursuant to the private placement exemption set forth in Article 8 of the Mexican Securities Market Law (Ley del Mercado de Valores) and regulations thereunder. The information contained in this prospectus supplement is solely our responsibility and has not been reviewed or authorized by the CNBV and may not be publicly distributed in Mexico. In making an investment decision, all investors, including any Mexican investor, who may acquire Notes from time to time, must rely on their own examination of the Issuer and the terms of this offering and the Notes, including the merits and risks involved.

The Notes and the information contained in this prospectus supplement are not being publicly marketed or offered in Peru and will not be distributed or caused to be distributed to the general public in Peru. Peruvian securities laws and regulations on public offerings will not be applicable to the offering of the Notes and therefore, the disclosure obligations set forth therein will not be applicable to the Company or the sellers of the Notes before or after their acquisition by prospective investors. The Notes and the information contained in this prospectus supplement have not been and will not be reviewed, confirmed, approved or in any way submitted to the Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (Peruvian capital market regulator) (the “SMV”) nor have they been registered with the SMV’s Securities Market Public Registry (Registro Público del Mercado de Valores). Accordingly, the Notes cannot be offered or sold within Peruvian territory except to the extent any such offering or sale qualifies as a private offering under Peruvian law and regulations and complies with the provisions on private offerings set forth therein.

This prospectus supplement has not been registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

We may offer the securities described in this prospectus from time to time in one or more offerings. This prospectus only provides you with general information about us and the securities we may offer.

The applicable prospectus supplement may also add, update or change the information contained in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the applicable prospectus supplement. You should carefully read this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and any documents incorporated by reference therein, together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Information Incorporated by Reference” before deciding whether to invest in the securities offered by the applicable prospectus supplement.

The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, including the exhibits to the registration statement, provides additional information about us and the securities.

Such forward-looking statements reflect, among other things, our current expectations, plans, projections and strategies, anticipated financial results, future events and financial trends affecting our business, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors (in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein) that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

MercadoLibre, Inc. is the leading online commerce and fintech ecosystem in Latin America. Our e-commerce platform is the leader in the region based on gross merchandise volume, and our fintech platform is the leader in monthly active users among fintech companies in Mexico, Argentina and Chile, and the second largest in Brazil. Mercado Libre’s e-commerce platform is present in 18 countries (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay and El Salvador) and our fintech platform, Mercado Pago, is present in eight countries (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay and Ecuador). Our ecosystem provides consumers and merchants with a complete portfolio of services to enable buying and selling online and the processing of payments online and offline, as well as offering a wide array of simple day-to-day financial services.

We offer our users an ecosystem of integrated e-commerce and digital financial services, which includes: the Mercado Libre Marketplace, the Mercado Pago fintech platform, the Mercado Envios logistics service, the Mercado Ads solution and the Mercado Libre Classifieds service.

Our e-commerce platform provides buyers and sellers with a robust and safe environment that fosters the development of a large e-commerce community in Latin America, a region with a population of over 650 million people where penetration of e-commerce over total retail significantly lags benchmarks such as the United States of America, the United Kingdom and China. We believe that we offer world-class technological and commercial solutions that address the distinctive cultural and geographic challenges of operating a digital commerce platform in Latin America.

The Mercado Libre Marketplace is a user-friendly online commerce platform that can be accessed through our mobile app or website. Third-party sellers account for most of the GMV transacted on the Marketplace. We complement this by selling directly to consumers on a first-party basis in selected categories where we can enhance price competitiveness and assortment; this accounts for less than 10% of GMV. The Marketplace has an extensive assortment of products, with a wide range of categories including consumer electronics, apparel and beauty, home goods, automotive accessories, toys, books and entertainment and consumer packaged goods. We also have a selection of international products available, primarily from sellers in China and the U.S., through our cross-border trade operations. Our users can also list vehicles, properties and services they are looking to sell via Mercado Libre Classifieds. These listings differ from our Marketplace listings because we charge placing fees only, not final value fees.

Mercado Envios is a logistics solution that is one of the value-added services that we offer to our sellers and buyers on our platform. The logistics services we offer are an integral and crucial part of our value proposition as they reduce friction between buyers and sellers, allow us to have greater control over the full user experience and enable faster deliveries at a more competitive cost than would otherwise be available with third-party carriers. Sellers that use Mercado Envios are eligible to access shipping subsidies that enable free or discounted shipping for consumers that buy sellers’ goods on our Marketplace. Our logistics network is built around fulfillment centers (which account for more than half of shipments), where sellers place their inventory in our warehouses, and cross-docking, where we collect items sold from sellers directly or via a network of thousands of partner stores (“MELI Places”) where sellers drop off sold items that need to be fed into our logistics network. MELI Places are also enabled for pick up of items purchased and processing of returns. Our transportation network includes dedicated aircraft, trucks and thousands of last-mile delivery vans, the vast majority of which are owned and operated by our third-party carriers.

Our advertising platform, Mercado Ads, is another value-added service that we offer to sellers on our platform and brands both on- and off-platform. The platform enables sellers and brands to access the millions of consumers who browse and purchase on our Marketplace, as well as the first-party data that all of these engagements generate. This enables advertisers to target highly granular audiences. The products we offer are Product Ads (sponsored listings), Brands Ads (product carrousels), Display Ads (banners) and Video Ads, the last two of which we are able to offer inventory off-platform as well as on our own Marketplace and fintech platform.

Mercado Shops is a service we offer to sellers to complement their business on our Marketplace. It is a digital storefront solution that allows sellers to set up, manage and promote their own digital stores, while using Mercado Libre’s logistics, advertising and payments services. In January 2025, we announced the migration of Mercado Shops to “Mi Página,” which offers similar functionalities but is fully embedded within our Marketplace (without an external storefront). Mercado Shops will be discontinued as of December 31, 2025.

Mercado Pago was initially designed to facilitate transactions on Mercado Libre’s Marketplace by providing a mechanism that allowed our users to securely, easily and promptly send and receive payments. This brought trust to the merchant-consumer relationship. In the countries in which Mercado Pago operates, it processes and settles all transactions on our Marketplace.

Beyond facilitating Marketplace transactions, over the years we have expanded our array of Mercado Pago services to third parties outside Mercado Libre’s Marketplace. We began first by satisfying the growing demand for online-based payment solutions by providing merchants the necessary digital payment infrastructure for e-commerce to flourish in Latin America.

Our lending solution is available in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Chile. We offer loans mostly to merchants and consumers that already form part of our user base, many of whom have historically been underserved or overlooked by financial institutions and therefore suffer from a lack of access to credit. Facilitating credit is a key service overlay that enables us to further strengthen the engagement and lock-in rate of our users, while also generating additional touchpoints and incentives to use Mercado Pago as an end-to-end financial solution.

Our asset management product, which is available in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Chile, is a critical pillar of our financial services offering that enables us to compete with large banks. This product offers remuneration on balances held in the Mercado Pago digital account that is greater than traditional checking and savings accounts. This enables our users to earn a return with funds remaining available for withdrawal or to make payments without their funds being tied up in a time deposit.

As an extension of our asset management and savings solutions for users, we launched a digital assets feature as part of the Mercado Pago account in Brazil, Mexico and Chile, in 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. This service allows our millions of users to purchase, hold and sell selected digital assets through our interface without leaving the Mercado Pago application, while a partner acts as the custodian and offers the blockchain infrastructure platform. This feature is available for all users through their Mercado Pago account. In 2024 and 2025 we launched “Meli Dólar,” a stablecoin that is pegged to the US dollar, in Brazil, Mexico and Chile. Members of our loyalty program receive their cashback in Meli Dólar and all Mercado Pago users can buy, hold and sell the stablecoin without any fees.

Mercado Libre was incorporated in the State of Delaware in October 1999. Our headquarters are located at Dr. Luis Bonavita 1294, Of. 1733, Tower II, Montevideo, Uruguay, 11300, and our telephone number is (+598) 2-927-2770. We maintain a number of websites, including www.mercadolibre.com. The information on, or accessible through, our websites is not part of this prospectus.

You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents that we include or incorporate by reference into this prospectus and any related prospectus supplement.

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement indicates otherwise, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered hereby for general corporate purposes.

A brief summary of some of the provisions of the debt securities, guarantees of debt securities and the indenture that will govern the debt securities, other than pricing and related terms, redemption rights, restrictive covenants and other specifications that will be discussed in a prospectus supplement, that would be important to holders of debt securities is set forth below. The following description of our debt securities and guarantees of debt securities is only a summary of the material terms, does not purport to be complete and may be supplemented in prospectus supplements. To review the terms of any debt securities and guarantees of debt securities offered by this prospectus, you must review both this prospectus and the relevant prospectus supplement. As used in this “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees of Debt Securities,” the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to MercadoLibre, Inc. and not to any of its consolidated subsidiaries or VIEs.

We may issue debt securities and guarantees of debt securities under either (a) an indenture dated as of January 14, 2021 (the “Indenture”), with The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), or (b) one or more other indentures with that or another trustee. We may supplement any of these indentures from time to time. The following paragraphs describe the provisions of the Indenture.

The debt securities will be our direct unsecured general obligations and may be either senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. Some or all of the co-registrants under the registration statement which includes this prospectus (each of which is our direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary) may guarantee our payment of debt securities issued under this prospectus. None of the indentures relating to our currently outstanding debt securities limits the principal amount of debt securities that we may issue. We may issue debt securities in one or more series. The material terms of the debt securities and guarantees of debt securities or any separate indenture will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, our debt securities will be governed by the Indenture and supplemental indentures relating to particular series of debt securities. The Indenture is a contract to be entered into between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, registrar, paying agent and transfer agent.

The Trustee has two main roles:

The Indenture and its associated documents will contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section. A form of the Indenture appears as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

We may issue debt securities in one or more separate series. The prospectus supplement relating to an offering of a particular series of debt securities will specify the particular amounts, prices and terms of those debt securities. These terms may include:

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of securities under the Indenture. Such additional notes will have the same terms as to ranking, redemption, waivers, amendments or otherwise as the applicable series of notes, and will vote together as one class on all matters with respect to such series of notes.

The obligations of the Company pursuant to the debt securities of any series may or may not be guaranteed by some or all of our direct or indirect subsidiaries. Those guarantees may remain in effect for the life of the guaranteed debt securities, or may terminate on the occurrence of specified events or circumstances. The prospectus supplement

describing an issue of debt securities that are guaranteed by some or all of our subsidiaries will identify the guarantor subsidiaries, either by name or by category, and will describe the terms of the guarantee, including any conditions to its effectiveness and any events or circumstances under which it will be suspended or terminated.

The Indenture and the debt securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

The Trustee under the Indenture is The Bank of New York Mellon. The Trustee will have all the duties and responsibilities of an indenture trustee specified in the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any debt securities issued under the Indenture. The Trustee is not required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in performing its duties or exercising its rights and powers if it reasonably believes that it is not reasonably assured of repayment or adequate indemnity.

Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities of a series will be represented by one or more global securities that will be deposited with and registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee for the accounts of its participants, including Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”), as operator of the Euroclear System, and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”). We will not issue certificated notes, except in the limited circumstances described below. Transfers of ownership interests in the global securities will be effected only through entries made on the books of DTC participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. You will not receive written confirmation from DTC of your purchase. The direct or indirect participants through whom you purchased the debt securities should send you written confirmations providing details of your transactions, as well as periodic statements of your holdings. The direct and indirect participants are responsible for keeping accurate account of the holdings of their customers like you. The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of debt securities take physical delivery of such debt securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the global securities.

You, as the beneficial owner of debt securities, will not receive certificates representing ownership interests in the global securities, except in the following limited circumstances: (1) DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or if DTC ceases to be eligible under the Indenture and, in either case, we do not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days or (2) we execute and deliver to the Trustee an officer’s certificate to the effect that such global security shall be so exchangeable. These certificated securities will be registered in such name or names as DTC will instruct the Trustee. It is expected that such instructions may be based upon directions received by DTC from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in global securities.

DTC has advised us as follows:

Clearstream has advised us that it is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its customers and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its customers through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its customers, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides to its customers, 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. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Section. Clearstream customers are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream customer either directly or indirectly.

Euroclear has advised us that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear provides various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank SA/NV (the “Euroclear Operator”), under contract with Euroclear Clearance Systems S.C., a Belgian cooperative corporation (the “Cooperative”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator, not the Cooperative. The Cooperative establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear participants. Euroclear participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers, and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear participant, either directly or indirectly.

The Euroclear Operator has advised us that it is licensed by the Belgian Banking and Finance Commission to carry out banking activities on a global basis. As a Belgian bank, it is regulated and examined by the Belgian Banking and Finance Commission.

We have provided the descriptions of the operations and procedures of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear in this prospectus solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of those organizations and are subject to change by them from time to time. None of us, any underwriters or the Trustee takes any responsibility for these operations or procedures, and you are urged to contact DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner and holder of the global securities, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the global securities for all purposes under the Indenture relating to the debt securities. Except as provided above, you, as the beneficial owner of interests in the global securities, will not be entitled to have debt securities registered in your name, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of debt securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owner or holder thereof under the Indenture. Accordingly, you, as the beneficial owner, must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if you are not a DTC participant, on the procedures of the DTC participants through which you own your interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the Indenture.

Neither we, the Trustee, nor any other agent of ours or agent of the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in global securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests. DTC’s practice is to credit the accounts of DTC’s direct participants with payment in amounts

proportionate to their respective holdings in principal amount of beneficial interest in a debt security as shown on the records of DTC, unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on the payment date. The underwriters will initially designate the accounts to be credited.

Beneficial owners may experience delays in receiving distributions on their debt securities because distributions will initially be made to DTC and they must be transferred through the chain of intermediaries to the beneficial owner’s account. Payments by DTC participants to you will be the responsibility of the DTC participant and not of DTC, the Trustee or us. Accordingly, neither we, the Trustee nor any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for: any aspect of DTC’s records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in debt securities represented by a global securities certificate; any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and its participants or the relationship between those participants and the owners of beneficial interests in a global securities certificate held through those participants; or the maintenance, supervision or review of any of DTC’s records relating to those beneficial ownership interests.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

We have been informed that, under DTC’s existing practices, if we request any action of holders of debt securities, or an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security such as you desires to take any action which a holder of debt securities is entitled to take under the Indenture, DTC would authorize the direct participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to take such action, and those direct participants and any indirect participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through those direct and indirect participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

Initial settlement for the debt securities 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. Secondary market trading between Clearstream customers and/or Euroclear participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear, as applicable, and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in immediately available funds.

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream customers or Euroclear participants, on the other, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by the U.S. depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to the U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving the debt securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream customers and Euroclear participants may not deliver instructions directly to their U.S. depositaries.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of the debt securities received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits or any transactions in the debt securities settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream customers or Euroclear participants on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of sales of the debt securities by or through a Clearstream customer or a Euroclear participant to a DTC participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

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

We may offer shares of our Common Stock or shares of our preferred stock. The following summary of the rights of our capital stock does not purport to be complete. This summary is subject to and qualified by the provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”) and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”). Additionally, the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), as amended, also affects the terms of our capital stock.

Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, we have the authority to issue 150,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (ii) and 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

As of November 13, 2025, there were 50,697,182 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. At that date, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Each outstanding share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of our common stock, except as otherwise required by law, as provided with respect to any series of preferred stock, or for stockholders that beneficially own more than 20% of the shares of our outstanding Common Stock, in which case any shares of stock above such 20% do not have voting rights. The holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Subject to any preferential rights of any series of preferred stock, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably, if as and when dividends are declared from time to time by our board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) out of funds legally available for that purpose. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, increase or decrease the amount of the quarterly dividend per share, change the frequency with which the dividend is paid or eliminate or reinstate the dividend.

As of January 1, 2018, our Board of Directors declared the suspension of the payment of dividends to shareholders and we currently do not pay a quarterly dividend on shares of our Common Stock. All dividends are declared at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depend on our earnings, our financial condition and other factors as our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may deem relevant from time to time.

Our Common Stock is not entitled to preemptive or other similar subscription rights to purchase any of our securities.

Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding.

Our Common Stock has no conversion rights.

Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, we have the authority to issue 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Our Board of Directors may establish the number of shares to be included in each such series and may fix the designations, preferences, powers, and other rights, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of a series of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could dilute the voting power or rights of the holders of Common Stock. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of Common Stock. Holders of shares of preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up before any payment is made to the holders of shares of Common Stock. Under specified circumstances, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the removal of incumbent management.

The particular terms of any series of preferred stock offered by us will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series of preferred stock. Those terms relating to the series of preferred stock offered may include:

Holders of preferred stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, cash dividends at the rates and on the dates set forth in the related prospectus supplement. Dividend rates may be fixed or variable or both. Different series of preferred stock may be entitled to dividends at different dividend rates or based upon different methods of determination. Each dividend will be payable to the holders of record as they appear on our stock books on record dates determined by our Board of Directors. Dividends on preferred stock may be cumulative or noncumulative, as specified in the related prospectus supplement. If our Board of Directors fails to declare a dividend on any preferred stock for which dividends are noncumulative, then the right to receive that dividend will be lost, and we will have no obligation to pay the dividend for that dividend period, whether or not dividends are declared for any future dividend period.

Any series of preferred stock may be redeemable in whole or in part at our option. In addition, any series of preferred stock may be subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to a sinking fund. The redemption provisions that may apply to a series of preferred stock, including the redemption dates and the redemption prices for that series, will be set forth in the related prospectus supplement.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board of Directors and which may have the effect of delaying, deferring, discouraging or preventing a future takeover or change in control of the company unless such takeover or change in control is approved by the Board of Directors, including:

Computershare serves as the transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “MELI.”

We may offer warrants, including warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred stock, Common Stock or other securities, property or assets (including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified commodities, currencies, securities or indices), as well as other types of warrants. We may offer warrants independently or together with other securities offered under this prospectus, and they may be attached to or separate from those securities. We will issue the warrants under one or more warrant agreements between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, that we will describe in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants we offer.

The following is a summary of certain general terms and provisions of the warrants, but they are not complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the warrant agreement and the warrant certificate relating to the warrants. Forms of these documents will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, either by an amendment to the registration statement or by a Current Report on Form 8-K. See “Where You Can Find More Information” for information on how to obtain copies of these documents. You should read the summary below, the applicable prospectus supplement and the provisions of the warrant agreement and the warrant certificate before investing in our warrants.

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of warrants to purchase debt securities that we may offer, the warrant agreement relating to the debt warrants and the warrant certificates representing the debt warrants. These terms will include the following:

We will also describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any provisions for a change in the exercise price or expiration date of the warrants and the kind, frequency and timing of any notice to be given. You may exchange debt warrant certificates for new debt warrant certificates of different denominations and may exercise debt warrants at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office that we indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement. Prior to exercise, you will not have any of the rights of holders of the debt securities purchasable upon that exercise and will not be entitled to payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities purchasable upon the exercise.

We may issue other warrants. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the following terms of those warrants:

We will also describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any provisions for a change in the exercise price or the expiration date of the warrants and the kind, frequency and timing of any notice to be given. You may exchange warrant certificates for new warrant certificates of different denominations and may exercise warrants at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office that we indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement. Prior to the exercise of your warrants, you will not have any of the rights of holders of the preferred stock, Common Stock or other securities purchasable upon that exercise and will not be entitled to dividend payments, if any, or voting rights of the preferred stock, Common Stock or other securities purchasable upon the exercise.

We will describe in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants the principal amount or the number of our securities, or amount of other securities, property or assets that you may purchase for cash upon exercise of a warrant, and the exercise price. You may exercise a warrant as described in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date stated in the prospectus supplement. Unexercised warrants will become void after the close of business on the expiration date, or any later expiration date that we determine.

We will forward the securities purchasable upon the exercise as soon as practicable after receipt of payment and the properly completed and executed warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or other office stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. If you exercise less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue you a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants.

We may sell securities from time to time in one or more transactions separately or in combination. We may sell the securities of or within any series to or through agents, underwriters, dealers, remarketing firms or other third parties or directly to one or more purchasers or through a combination of any of these methods. We may issue securities as a dividend or distribution. In some cases, we or dealers acting with us or on behalf of us may also purchase securities and reoffer them to the public. We may also offer and sell, or agree to deliver, securities pursuant to, or in connection with, any option agreement or other contractual arrangement.

Agents whom we designate may solicit offers to purchase the securities.

We may use an underwriter or underwriters in the offer or sale of the securities.

We may use a dealer to sell the securities.

We may solicit directly offers to purchase the securities, and we may directly sell the securities to institutional or other investors. We will describe the terms of direct sales in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act.

We may also offer and sell securities, if so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more firms referred to as remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as our agents. Any remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us, and its compensation will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act in connection with the securities they remarket.

We may indemnify agents, underwriters, dealers and remarketing firms against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Agents, underwriters, dealers and remarketing firms, or their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us or our respective affiliates, in the ordinary course of business.

We may authorize agents and underwriters to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase the securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts.

Any underwriter, agent or dealer that is a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority member is not permitted to sell securities in an offering to accounts over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of its customer.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular underwritten offering of securities, the underwriters will not be obligated to purchase offered securities unless specified conditions are satisfied, and if the underwriters do purchase any offered securities, they will purchase all offered securities.

In connection with underwritten offerings of the offered securities and in accordance with applicable law and industry practice, the underwriters in certain circumstances are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. If the underwriters create a short position in the securities in connection with the offering (i.e., if they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement), the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing securities in the open market or as otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid on certain underwriters. This means that if the underwriters purchase the securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters’ short position or to stabilize the price of the securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the underwriters who sold those securities as part of the offering. In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage resales of the security. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

We may enter into derivative or other hedging transactions involving the securities with third parties, or sell securities not covered by the prospectus to third parties in privately-negotiated transactions. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with those derivative transactions, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions, or may lend securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivative or hedging transactions to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus).

We may effect sales of securities in connection with forward sale, option or other types of agreements with third parties. Any distribution of securities pursuant to any forward sale agreement may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions that may take place through a stock exchange, including block trades or ordinary broker’s transactions, or through broker-dealers acting either as principal or agent, or through privately-negotiated transactions, or through an underwritten public offering, or through a combination of any such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated or fixed prices.

We may loan or pledge securities to third parties that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or, if we default in the case of a pledge, may offer and sell the securities from time to time using this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. Such third parties may transfer their short positions to investors in the securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities offered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or otherwise.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the validity of any securities offered hereby, including the validity of the debt securities and the guarantees thereunder under New York law, will be passed upon for us by Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, our legal counsel. The validity of the guarantees under Argentine, Brazilian, Mexican, Chilean and Colombian law will be passed upon by Marval O’Farrell Mairal, Veirano Advogados, Nader, Hayaux y Goebel, S.C., Claro & Cia. and Brigard & Urrutia Abogados SAS, respectively, as applicable to the relevant Guarantors.
