On May 21, 2014, TransDigm Group Incorporated (“TransDigm Group”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing the pricing of $2.350 billion aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes, consisting of $1.150 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) and $1.200 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (together with the 2022 Notes, the “Notes”) by TransDigm Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary. TransDigm Group also announced in the Press Release that TransDigm Inc. is considering paying a dividend to holders of its common stock in the range of $900 million to $1.7 billion and, in connection therewith, expects to incur an additional tranche of $825 million of term loans under its senior secured credit facilities and to borrow under its trade receivables securitization facility. The Notes may not be offered or sold without registration unless such offer or sale is made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
