Pursuant to this registration statement, we may offer, issue and sell securities as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

We may offer, issue and sell the securities from time to time, together, separately or in some combination. This prospectus describes some of the general terms that may apply to these securities.

Each such statement is qualified in all respects by reference to the document to which it refers.

We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. Our SEC filings are available to the public over the Internet at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on our corporate website at www.tranetechnologies.com.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

The SEC permits us to “incorporate by reference” the information contained in documents we file with the SEC, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents rather than by including them in this prospectus. Information that is incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus and you should read the information with the same care that you read this prospectus. Later information that we file with the SEC will automatically update and supersede the information that is either contained, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus, and will be considered to be a part of this prospectus from the date those documents are filed. We have filed with the SEC, and incorporate by reference in this prospectus, the following documents:

 

   

Trane Technologies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 8, 2024;

 

   

Trane Technologies’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on April 30, 2024;

 

   

Trane Technologies’ Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on April  26, 2024 (excluding any portions that were not incorporated by reference into Part III of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023);

 

   

Trane Technologies’ Current Reports on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on January  10, 2024 and February 8, 2024; and

 

   

Trane Technologies’ Current Report on Form 8-K12B, filed with the SEC on July 1, 2009, which includes a description of Trane Technologies’ ordinary shares.

All future filings that we make under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), until all the securities offered by this prospectus have been issued as described in this prospectus, are deemed incorporated into and part of this prospectus once filed. We are not, however, incorporating, in each case, any documents (or portions thereof) or information that we are deemed to furnish and not file in accordance with SEC rules. Any statement in this prospectus, in any prospectus supplement, or in any document incorporated by reference that is different from any statement contained in any later-filed document should be regarded as changed by that later statement. Once so changed, the earlier statement is no longer considered part of this prospectus or any prospectus supplement.

You may request by phone or in writing a copy of any of the materials incorporated (other than exhibits, unless the exhibits are themselves specifically incorporated) into this prospectus and we will provide to you these materials free of charge. Please make your request to Evan M. Turtz, Secretary, c/o Trane Technologies Company LLC, 800-E Beaty Street, Davidson, North Carolina 28036, telephone (704) 655-4000.

They are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties - many of which are beyond our control - as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions, that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES

The following description of debt securities sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities which may be offered hereunder. This summary does not contain all of the information that you may find useful.

As used herein, “Trane Parent” refers to Trane Technologies plc and its successors and, in respect of a series of the debt securities, “Guarantors” mean, collectively, (a)(i) each person named as a “Guarantor” pursuant to the applicable prospectus supplement and (ii) Trane Parent, in the case of debt securities issued by Trane Holdco, TTFL, Lux International, TTGH, Irish Holdings, TTAHC or TTC in each case until such person ceases to be a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the indenture, and (b) any successor company thereof that shall have become a Guarantor pursuant to the applicable provisions of the indenture.

Under this prospectus, debt securities issued by Trane Parent, Trane Holdco, TTFL, Lux International, TTGH, Irish Holdings, TTAHC or TTC (as applicable, the “Issuer”) will be offered. The debt securities offered will be issued under an indenture (as supplemented, the “indenture”) to be entered into by and among Trane Parent, Trane Holdco, TTFL, Lux International, TTGH, Irish Holdings, TTAHC, TTC and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.

Debt securities issued by Trane Parent may be guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Trane Parent, including Trane Holdco, TTFL, Lux International, TTGH, Irish Holdings, TTAHC and/or TTC, as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Debt securities issued by Trane Holdco, TTFL, Lux International, TTGH, Irish Holdings, TTAHC or TTC, as applicable, will be guaranteed by Trane Parent and may also be guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries of Trane Parent not acting as the Issuer, including Trane Holdco, TTFL, Lux International, TTGH, Irish Holdings, TTAHC and/or TTC, as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms and conditions of the series in a prospectus supplement. We will also indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement whether the general terms and conditions described in this prospectus apply to the series of debt securities. In addition, the terms and conditions of the debt securities of a series may be different in one or more respects from the terms and conditions described below. If so, those differences will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement and will supersede this prospectus.

The following description only summarizes the terms of the indenture and the debt securities. For more information you should read the indenture.

The trustee for each series of debt securities will be Computershare Trust Company, N.A., unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Under this prospectus, debt securities issued by Trane Parent, Trane Holdco, TTFL, Lux International TTGH, Irish Holdings, TTAHC and/or TTC, as the case may be, will be offered. Debt securities issued by Trane

Table of Contents

Parent may be guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Trane Parent, including Trane Holdco, TTFL, Lux International, TTGH, Irish Holdings, TTAHC and/or TTC, as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Debt securities issued by Trane Holdco, TTFL, Lux International, TTGH, Irish Holdings, TTAHC or TTC, as applicable, will be guaranteed by Trane Parent and may also be guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries of Trane Parent not acting as the Issuer, including Trane Holdco, Lux International, TTGH, Irish Holdings, TTAHC and/or TTC, as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The guarantees of the debt securities of any series will be structurally subordinated to all the liabilities of the subsidiaries of Trane Parent that are not themselves Guarantors or the Issuer of such series.

The obligations of any Guarantor under its guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent such guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

Conversion and Exchange

The terms, if any, on which debt securities of any series are convertible into or exchangeable for ordinary shares, preferred shares, other debt securities or any other securities will be set forth in the related prospectus supplement. The terms may include provisions for conversion or exchange, either mandatory, at the option of the holders, the Issuer (if other than Trane Parent) or Trane Parent.

Registration of Transfer and Exchange

Subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities, debt securities may be transferred or exchanged at the corporate trust office of the trustee or at any other office or agency maintained by the Issuer for that purpose. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the debt securities, but the Issuer may require a payment by the holder to cover any tax or other governmental charge. The Issuer will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange debt securities of any series:

 

   

during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of securities of that series selected for redemption; or

 

   

selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt security being redeemed in part.

Payment

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, principal, interest and any premium on the debt securities will be paid at the place or places that the Issuer will designate for such purposes. However, the Issuer, at its option, may make interest payments by check mailed to persons in whose names the debt securities are registered. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of interest on a debt security that is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any interest payment date will be made to the person in whose name that debt security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for that interest payment. The Issuer will pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) registered debt securities only against surrender of those debt securities.

Global Notes

The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global notes that will be deposited with or on behalf of a depositary located in the United States identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable series.

The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any debt securities of a series will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the series. The following provisions are expected to apply to all depositary arrangements.

 

13


Table of Contents

Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, debt securities which are to be represented by a global note to be deposited with or on behalf of a depositary will be represented by a global note registered in the name of such depositary or its nominee. Upon the issuance of a global note in registered form, the depositary for the global note will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the global note to the accounts of institutions that have accounts with the depositary or its nominee (“participants”). The accounts to be credited shall be designated by the underwriters or agents of the debt securities or by the Issuer, if the debt securities are offered and sold directly by the Issuer. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global notes will be limited to participants or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests by participants in the global notes will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary or its nominee for the global notes. Ownership of beneficial interests in global notes by persons that hold the beneficial interests through participants will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest within such participant will be effected only through, records maintained by the participant.

So long as the depositary for a global note in registered form, or its nominee, is the registered owner of the global note, the depositary or the nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the global note for all purposes under the indenture. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in the global notes will not be entitled to have debt securities of the series represented by the global notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of debt securities of the series in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the indenture.

Payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on debt securities registered in the name of or held by a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner or the holder of the global note representing the debt securities. The Issuer will not, nor will the Guarantors, the trustee, any paying agent or the security registrar for the debt securities have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global note for the debt securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests.

It is expected that the depositary for debt securities of a series, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest in respect of a permanent global note, will credit immediately participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global note as shown on the records of the depositary. It is also expected that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global note held through the participants will be governed by customary practices. Each person owning a beneficial interest in a global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary (and, if such person is not a participant, on procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest) to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture.

A global note may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for the global note to a nominee of the depositary or by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or another nominee of the depositary or by the depositary or any nominee to a successor of the depositary or a nominee of the successor. If a depositary for debt securities of a series is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within ninety days, the Issuer will issue debt securities in definitive registered form in exchange for the global note or notes representing the debt securities. In addition, the Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine not to have any debt securities in registered form represented by one or more global notes and, in that event, the Issuer will issue debt securities in definitive form in exchange for the global note or notes representing the debt securities.

Certain Covenants of the Debt Securities

The debt securities will include the following covenants:

Limitation on Liens. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities, Trane Parent will not, and will not permit any restricted subsidiary to, create, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed secured by any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge or other security interest or encumbrance of any kind (hereinafter referred to as a “mortgage” or “mortgages”) on any principal property of Trane Parent or a restricted subsidiary or on any shares or funded indebtedness of a restricted subsidiary (whether such principal property, shares or funded indebtedness are now owned or hereafter acquired) without, in any such case, effectively providing concurrently with the creation, assumption or guaranteeing of such indebtedness that the debt securities (together, if Trane Parent shall so determine, with any other indebtedness then or thereafter existing, created, assumed or guaranteed by Trane Parent or such restricted subsidiary ranking equally with the debt securities) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such indebtedness. The indenture excludes, however, from the foregoing any indebtedness secured by a mortgage (including any extension, renewal or replacement, or successive extensions, renewals or replacements, of any mortgage hereinafter specified or any indebtedness secured thereby, without increase of the principal of such indebtedness or expansion of the collateral securing such indebtedness):

 

  1)

on property, shares or funded indebtedness of any Person existing at the time such Person becomes a restricted subsidiary;

 

  2)

on property existing at the time of acquisition of such property, or to secure indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing the purchase price of such property or improvements or construction thereon, which indebtedness is incurred prior to, at the time of or within 360 days after the later of such acquisition, the completion of such construction or the commencement of commercial operation of such property; provided, however, that in the case of any such acquisition, construction or improvement the mortgage shall not apply to any property previously owned by Trane Parent or a restricted subsidiary, other than any previously unimproved real property on which the property is constructed or the improvement is located;

 

  3)

on property, shares or funded indebtedness of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with Trane Parent or a restricted subsidiary, or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to Trane Parent or a restricted subsidiary;

 

  4)

on property of a restricted subsidiary to secure indebtedness of such restricted subsidiary to Trane Parent or another restricted subsidiary;

 

  5)

on property of Trane Parent or property of a restricted subsidiary in favor of the United States or any State thereof, Luxembourg or the jurisdiction of organization of Trane Parent, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States or any State thereof, Luxembourg or the jurisdiction of organization of Trane Parent, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such mortgage; or

 

  6)

existing at the date of the indenture;

provided, however, that any mortgage permitted by any of clauses (1), (2), (3) and (5) above shall not extend to or cover any property of Trane Parent or such restricted subsidiary, as the case may be, other than the property specified in such clauses and improvements to that property.

Notwithstanding the above, Trane Parent or any restricted subsidiary may create, assume or guarantee secured indebtedness for money borrowed which would otherwise be prohibited in an aggregate amount which, together with all other such indebtedness for money borrowed of Trane Parent and its restricted subsidiaries and

Table of Contents

the attributable debt of Trane Parent and its restricted subsidiaries in respect of sale and leaseback transactions (as defined below) existing at such time (other than sale and leaseback transactions entered into prior to the date of the indenture and sale and leaseback transactions the proceeds of which have been applied in accordance with the indenture), does not at the time exceed 10% of the shareholders’ equity in Trane Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries, as shown on the audited consolidated balance sheet contained in the latest annual report to shareholders of Trane Parent.

“attributable debt” means, as of any particular time, the lesser of (i) the fair value of the property subject to the applicable sale and leaseback transaction (as determined by the board of directors of Trane Parent) and (ii) the then present value (discounted at a rate equal to the weighted average of the rate of interest on all securities issued by the applicable Issuer then issued and outstanding under the indenture, compounded semi-annually) of the total net amount of rent required to be paid under such lease during the remaining term thereof (excluding any renewal term unless the renewal is at the option of the lessor) or, if earlier, until the earliest date on which the lessee may terminate such lease upon payment of a penalty (in which case the obligation of the lessee for rental payments shall include such penalty). The net amount of rent required to be paid for any such period shall be the aggregate amount of the rent payable by the lessee with respect to such period after excluding amounts required to be paid on account of, or measured or determined by, any variable factor, including, without limitation, the cost-of-living index and costs of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates and similar charges and after excluding any portion of rentals based on a percentage of sales made by the lessee. In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall also include the amount of such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated;

“mortgage” means, on any specified property, any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge or other security interest or encumbrance of any kind in respect of such property;

“Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or government or any agency or political subdivision thereof or any other entity; and

“shareholders’ equity in Trane Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries” means the share capital, share premium, contributed surplus and retained earnings of Trane Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries, excluding the cost of shares of Trane Parent held by its affiliates, all as determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities, Trane Parent will not, and will not permit any restricted subsidiary to, enter into any sale and leaseback transactions (which are defined in the indenture to exclude leases expiring within three years of making, leases between Trane Parent and a restricted subsidiary or between restricted subsidiaries and any lease of a part of a principal property which has been sold, for use in connection with the winding up or termination of the business conducted on such principal property), unless (a) Trane Parent or such restricted subsidiary would be entitled to incur indebtedness secured by a mortgage on such principal property without equally and ratably securing the debt securities or (b) an amount equal to the fair value of the principal property so leased (as determined by the board of directors of Trane Parent) is applied within one year (i) to the retirement (other than by payment at maturity or pursuant to mandatory sinking, purchase or analogous fund or prepayment provision) of (x) the debt securities or (y) other funded indebtedness of Trane Parent or any restricted subsidiary ranking on a parity with the debt securities, provided, however, that the amount to be applied to the retirement of any funded indebtedness as provided under this clause (i) shall be reduced by (A) the principal amount of any debt securities delivered within 360 days after such sale or transfer to the trustee for the debt securities of such series for retirement and cancellation and (B) the principal amount of other funded indebtedness ranking on parity with the debt securities voluntarily retired by Trane Parent within 360 days after such sale or transfer; or (ii) to purchase, improve or construct principal properties, provided that if only a portion of such proceeds is

Table of Contents

designated as a credit against such purchase, improvement or construction, Trane Parent shall apply an amount equal to the remainder as provided in (i) above.

Restrictions Upon Merger and Sales of Assets. The Issuer of any series of debt securities shall not consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into any other Person (whether or not affiliated with such Issuer) and such Issuer or its successor or successors shall not be a party or parties to successive consolidations, amalgamations or mergers and such Issuer shall not sell, convey or lease all or substantially all of its property to any other Person (whether or not affiliated with such Issuer) authorized to acquire and operate the same, unless (i) upon any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on all of the debt securities of such series, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the indenture to be performed by such Issuer shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory in form to the trustee for such series of the debt securities, executed and delivered to each such trustee by the Person (if other than such Issuer) formed by such consolidation or amalgamation, or into which such Issuer shall have been merged, or by the Person which shall have acquired or leased such property, and (ii) such Person shall be a solvent corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or any other entity organized under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof or the District of Columbia, any Member State of the European Union (the “EU”), the United Kingdom, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Gibraltar, the British Crown Dependencies, any member country of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, or any political subdivision of any of the foregoing. Such Issuer will not so consolidate, amalgamate or merge, or make any such sale, lease or other conveyance, and such Issuer will not permit any other Person to merge into it, unless immediately after the proposed consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, lease or other conveyance, and after giving effect thereto, no default in the performance or observance by such Issuer or such successor Person, as the case may be, of any of the terms, covenants, agreements or conditions contained in the indenture with respect to the debt securities shall have occurred and be continuing.

If upon any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, any principal property or any shares or funded indebtedness of any restricted subsidiary would become subject to any mortgage (other than a mortgage to which such principal property or such shares of stock or funded indebtedness of such restricted subsidiary may become subject as provided under “—Limitations on Liens” without equally and ratably securing the notes) (the “Triggering Mortgage”), Trane Parent will secure the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the debt securities (together with, if Trane Parent shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guarantee by Trane Parent or such restricted subsidiary ranking equally with the debt securities) by a mortgage on such principal property or such shares of stock or funded indebtedness of such restricted subsidiary, the lien of which will rank prior to the lien of such Triggering Mortgage.

Each Guarantor, if any, of any series of debt securities shall not consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into any other Person or corporations (whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor) and such Guarantor and its successor or successors shall not be a party or parties to successive consolidations, amalgamations or mergers and such Guarantor shall not sell, convey or lease all or substantially all of its property to any other Person (whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor) authorized to acquire and operate the same, unless (i) upon any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, the performance of the obligations under the guarantee of such Guarantor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the indenture to be performed by such Guarantor shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory in form to the trustee for each series of the debt securities, executed and delivered to each such trustee by the Person (if other than the Issuer or a Guarantor for such series) formed by such consolidation or amalgamation, or into which such Guarantor shall have been merged, or by the Person which shall have acquired or leased such property, and (ii) such Person shall be a solvent corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or any other entity organized under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof or the District of Columbia, any Member State of the EU, the United Kingdom, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Gibraltar, the British Crown Dependencies, any member country of the

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, or any political subdivision of any of the foregoing. Furthermore, such Guarantor will not so consolidate, amalgamate or merge, or make any such sale, lease or other conveyance, and such Guarantor will not permit any other Person to merge into it, unless immediately after the proposed consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, lease or other conveyance, and after giving effect thereto, no default in the performance or observance by such Guarantor or such successor Person, as the case may be, of any of the terms, covenants, agreements or conditions in respect of the debt securities contained in the indenture or the guarantee of such Guarantor shall have occurred and be continuing.

Certain Definitions. The term “funded indebtedness” means indebtedness created, assumed or guaranteed by a person for money borrowed which matures by its terms, or is renewable by the borrower to a date, more than one year after the date of its original creation, assumption or guarantee.

The term “principal property” means any manufacturing plant or other manufacturing facility of Trane Parent or any restricted subsidiary, which plant or facility is located within the United States, except any such plant or facility which the board of directors of Trane Parent by resolution declares is not of material importance to the total business conducted by Trane Parent and its restricted subsidiaries.

The term “restricted subsidiary” means any subsidiary which owns a principal property excluding, however, any entity the greater part of the operating assets of which are located, or the principal business of which is carried on, outside the United States.

The term “subsidiary” means any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust or any other entity of which at least a majority of the outstanding stock or equity interests having voting power under ordinary circumstances to elect a majority of the board of directors or similar body of said entity shall at the time be owned by Trane Parent or by Trane Parent and one or more subsidiaries or by one or more subsidiaries of Trane Parent.

Events of Default

As to each series of debt securities, an event of default is defined in the indenture as being any:

 

   

default in payment of any interest on any debt security of such series when it becomes due and payable which continues for 30 days (subject to the deferral of any interest payment in the case of an extension period);

 

   

default in payment of any principal of (or premium, if any, on) any debt security of such series when due either at its stated maturity date, upon redemption, upon acceleration or otherwise;

 

   

default in payment of any sinking fund installment, when and as due by the terms of a note of such series, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

 

   

default in performance of any other covenant of the Issuer or any Guarantor of such series in the indenture (other than a covenant included solely for the benefit of debt securities of another series) which continues for 90 days after receipt of written notice;

 

   

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization relating to the Issuer of such series and, if the debt securities of that series are guaranteed by one or more Guarantors, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization relating to any such Guarantors;

 

   

scenario in which the debt securities of that series are guaranteed by one or more Guarantors, a guarantee of the debt securities of such series shall for any reason cease to be, or shall for any reason be asserted in writing by the Issuer or the Guarantors not to be, in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms except to the extent contemplated by the indenture and such guarantee; or

 

   

other events of default specified in or pursuant to a board resolution or officer’s certificate or in a supplemental indenture.

 

18


Table of Contents

The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of such series of any default (except in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such series or in payment of any sinking fund installment on such series) if the trustee considers it is in the interest of such holders to do so.

Holders of the debt securities of any series may not enforce the indenture or the debt securities of such series except as provided in the indenture. In case an event of default (other than a default resulting from bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) shall occur and be continuing with respect to the debt securities of any series, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities then outstanding of such series may declare the principal amount on all the debt securities of such series (or, if the debt securities of that series were issued at a discount, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms of that series) to be due and payable. If an event of default results from bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal amount of all the debt securities of that series (or, if the debt securities of that series were issued at a discount, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms of that series) will automatically become due and payable. Any event of default with respect to the debt securities of any series (except defaults in payment of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on the debt securities of such series or a default in respect of a covenant or provision that cannot be modified without the consent of the holder of each outstanding security of such series) may be waived by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series then outstanding.

Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee in case an event of default shall occur and be continuing, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under such indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the holders of debt securities, unless such holders shall have offered to the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the trustee and certain limitations contained in the indenture, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of any series then outstanding shall 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, with respect to the debt securities of such series. In respect of each series of debt securities, Trane Parent is required annually to deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate stating whether or not the signers have knowledge of any default in the performance by each of the Issuer and any Guarantors of the covenants of the indenture. In addition, promptly (and in any event within five business days) upon Trane Parent becoming aware of the occurrence of any default or event of default in respect of any series of debt securities, Trane Parent is required to deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate setting forth the details of such default or event of default and the actions which Trane Parent, the Issuer and Guarantors, as applicable, propose to take with respect to such default or event of default.

Discharge

The indenture with respect to the debt securities of any series may be discharged (with the exception of specified provisions as provided in the indenture) when the Issuer requests such discharge in writing accompanied by an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent to discharge under the indenture have been satisfied and either:

 

  (A)

all debt securities, with the exceptions provided for in the indenture, of that series have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

all debt securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable; (2) will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year; (3) are to be called for redemption within one year; or (4) been deemed paid and discharged pursuant to the terms of the indenture;

their terms will provide not later than one day before the stated maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, money in an amount or (II) a combination of money or United States government obligations as provided in (I) above, in each case sufficient (if United States government obligations, as certified in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants) to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such debt securities not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation, for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, to the date of such deposit in the case of debt securities which have become due and payable or to the stated maturity or redemption date, as the case may be.

Defeasance

The indenture provides that the Issuer may discharge the entire indebtedness of all outstanding debt securities of a series and the provisions of the indenture as they relate to such debt securities will no longer be in effect in respect of the Issuer and the Guarantors (with the exception of specified provisions as provided in the indenture) if the Issuer deposits or causes to be deposited with the trustee, in trust, money, or United States government obligations, or a combination thereof, which, through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide money, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants, to pay all the principal (including any mandatory sinking fund payments, if any) of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities of such series on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such debt securities to their stated maturities or to, but excluding, a redemption date which has been irrevocably designated by the Issuer for redemption of such debt securities. To exercise any such option, the Issuer is required to meet specified conditions, including delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (b) since the date of an offering, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, holders of the debt securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred and that no event of default or default shall have occurred and be continuing.

The indenture provides that, at the election of the Issuer, the Issuer and the Guarantors need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the indenture as to any series of debt securities (in the case of debt securities as described above under “—Certain Covenants of the Debt Securities—Limitation on Liens,” “—Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions” and the third paragraph of “—Restrictions Upon Merger and Sales of Assets”), upon the deposit by the Issuer with the trustee, in trust, of money, or United States government obligations, or a combination thereof, which, through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide money, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants, to pay all the principal (including any mandatory sinking fund payments, if any) of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities of such series on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such debt securities to their stated maturities or to, but excluding a redemption date which has been irrevocably designated by us for redemption of such debt securities. To exercise any such option, the Issuer may be required to meet specified conditions, including delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the deposit and related defeasance would not cause the holders of the debt securities to recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Modification of the Indenture

The indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer, the Guarantors and the trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by such modification (voting as one class), to modify such indenture or the rights of the holders of the debt

to evidence the succession of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or any other entity to the Issuer or any Guarantor and the assumption by any such successor of the Issuer’s covenants in the indenture and the debt securities or such Guarantor’s covenants in the indenture and the guarantee, as the case may be;

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment of a trustee other than Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee for a series of debt securities and to add or change any of the provisions of the indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the indenture by more than one trustee;

to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect, to correct or supplement any provision of the indenture which may be inconsistent with any other provision of the indenture, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the indenture, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of debt securities of any series in any material respect;

DESCRIPTION OF TRANE TECHNOLOGIES SHARE CAPITAL

The following description of Trane Technologies’ share capital is a summary. This summary is not complete and is subject to the complete text of Trane Technologies’ memorandum and articles of association previously filed with the Commission and to the Irish Companies Act 2014 (the “Irish Companies Act”). We encourage you to read those documents and laws carefully.

Capital Structure

Authorized Share Capital. The authorized share capital of Trane Technologies is €40,000 and US$1,175,010,000 divided into 40,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of €1 per share, 1,175,000,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of US$1.00 per share and 10,000,000 preferred shares with a nominal value of US$0.001 per share.

Trane Technologies may issue shares subject to the maximum prescribed by its authorized share capital contained in its memorandum of association and subject to the maximum authorized by shareholders from time to time.

As a matter of Irish company law, the directors of a company may issue new ordinary or preferred shares without shareholder approval once authorized to do so by the articles of association of the company or by an ordinary resolution adopted by the shareholders at a general meeting. An ordinary resolution requires over 50% of the votes of a company’s shareholders cast at a general meeting. The authority conferred can be granted for a maximum period of five years, at which point it must be renewed by the shareholders of the company by an ordinary resolution. The shareholders of Trane Technologies adopted an ordinary resolution at the 2023 annual general meeting of the Company on June 1, 2023 authorizing the directors of Trane Technologies to issue up to an aggregate nominal amount of $50,509,033 (50,509,033 shares) (being equivalent to approximately 20% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued ordinary share capital of Trane Technologies as of April 6, 2023), for a period of 18 months from June 1, 2023.

The authorized share capital may be increased or reduced by way of an ordinary resolution of Trane Technologies’ shareholders. The shares comprising the authorized share capital of Trane Technologies may be divided into shares of such par value as the resolution shall prescribe.

The rights and restrictions to which the ordinary shares are subject are prescribed in Trane Technologies’ articles of association. Trane Technologies’ articles of association entitle the board of directors, without shareholder approval, to determine the terms of the preferred shares issued by Trane Technologies. The Trane Technologies board of directors is authorized, without obtaining any vote or consent of the holders of any class or series of shares (other than the authority to allot shares referred to above) unless expressly provided by the terms of that class or series or shares, to provide from time to time for the issuance of other classes or series of preferred shares and to establish the characteristics of each class or series, including the number of shares, designations, relative voting rights, dividend rights, liquidation and other rights, redemption, repurchase or exchange rights and any other preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights and limitations not inconsistent with applicable law.

Irish law does not recognize fractional shares held on record; accordingly, Trane Technologies’ articles of association do not provide for the issuance of fractional shares of Trane Technologies, and the official Irish register of Trane Technologies will not reflect any fractional shares.

Pre-emption Rights, Share Warrants and Share Options

Certain statutory pre-emption rights apply automatically in favor of Trane Technologies’ shareholders where shares in Trane Technologies are to be issued for cash. However, Trane Technologies initially opted out of

 

24


Table of Contents

these pre-emption rights on its incorporation in its articles of association as permitted under Irish company law. Because Irish law requires this opt-out to be renewed every five years by a special resolution of the shareholders, Trane Technologies’ articles of association provide that this opt-out must be so renewed. A special resolution requires not less than 75% of the votes of Trane Technologies’ shareholders cast at a general meeting. If the opt-out is not renewed, shares issued for cash must be offered to pre-existing shareholders of Trane Technologies pro rata to their existing shareholding before the shares can be issued to any new shareholders. The statutory pre-emption rights do not apply where shares are issued for non-cash consideration and do not apply to the issue of non-equity shares (that is, shares that have the right to participate only up to a specified amount in any income or capital distribution). Shareholders of Trane Technologies passed a special resolution at the 2023 annual general meeting of the Company on June 1, 2023 authorizing the directors of Trane Technologies to opt out of pre-emption rights with respect to equity securities with up to an aggregate nominal value of $50,509,033 (50,509,033 shares) (being equivalent to approximately 20% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued ordinary share capital of Trane Technologies of April 6, 2023), for a period of 18 months from June 1, 2023.

The articles of association of Trane Technologies provide that, subject to any shareholder approval requirement under any laws, regulations or the rules of any stock exchange to which Trane Technologies is subject, the board is authorized, from time to time, in its discretion, to grant such persons, for such periods and upon such terms as the board deems advisable, options to purchase such number of shares of any class or classes or of any series of any class as the board may deem advisable, and to cause warrants or other appropriate instruments evidencing such options to be issued. The Irish Companies Act provides that directors may issue share warrants or options without shareholder approval once authorized to do so by the articles of association or an ordinary resolution of shareholders. The board may issue shares upon exercise of warrants or options without shareholder approval or authorization.

Trane Technologies is subject to the rules of the NYSE that require shareholder approval of certain share issuances.

Dividends

Under Irish law, dividends and distributions may only be made from distributable reserves. Distributable reserves, broadly, means the accumulated realized profits of Trane Technologies less accumulated realized losses of Trane Technologies. In addition, no distribution or dividend may be made unless the net assets of Trane Technologies are equal to, or in excess of, the aggregate of Trane Technologies’ called up share capital plus undistributable reserves and the distribution does not reduce Trane Technologies’ net assets below such aggregate. Undistributable reserves include the share premium account, the capital redemption reserve fund, the revaluation reserve, and the amount by which Trane Technologies’ accumulated unrealized profits, so far as not previously utilized by any capitalization, exceed Trane Technologies’ accumulated unrealized losses, so far as not previously written off in a reduction or reorganization of capital.

The determination as to whether or not Trane Technologies has sufficient distributable reserves to fund a dividend must be made by reference to “relevant financial statements” of Trane Technologies. The “relevant financial statements” will be either the last set of unconsolidated annual audited financial statements or unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with the Irish Companies Act, which gives a “true and fair view” of Trane Technologies’ unconsolidated financial position and accord with accepted accounting practice. The relevant financial statements must be filed in the Companies Registration Office (the official public registry for companies in Ireland).

The mechanism as to who declares a dividend and when a dividend shall become payable is governed by the articles of association of Trane Technologies. Trane Technologies’ articles of association authorize the directors to declare such dividends as appear justified from the profits of Trane Technologies without the approval of the shareholders at a general meeting. The board of directors may also recommend a dividend to be approved and declared by the shareholders at a general meeting. Although the shareholders may direct that the payment be

 

25


Table of Contents

made by distribution of assets, shares or cash, no dividend issued may exceed the amount recommended by the directors. The dividends can be declared and paid in the form of cash or non-cash assets.

The directors of Trane Technologies may deduct from any dividend payable to any member all sums of money (if any) payable by such member to Trane Technologies in relation to the shares of Trane Technologies.

The directors of Trane Technologies are also entitled to issue shares with preferred rights to participate in dividends declared by Trane Technologies. The holders of such preferred shares may, depending on their terms, be entitled to claim arrears of a declared dividend out of subsequently declared dividends in priority to ordinary shareholders.

Share Repurchases, Redemptions and Conversions

Overview

Article 3(d) of Trane Technologies’ articles of association provides that any ordinary share which Trane Technologies has acquired or agreed to acquire shall be deemed to be a redeemable share. Accordingly, for Irish company law purposes, the repurchase of ordinary shares by Trane Technologies will technically be effected as a redemption of those shares as described below under “—Repurchases and Redemptions by Trane Technologies.” If the articles of association of Trane Technologies did not contain Article 3(d), repurchases by Trane Technologies would be subject to many of the same rules that apply to purchases of Trane Technologies shares by subsidiaries described below under “—Purchases by Subsidiaries of Trane Technologies,” including the shareholder approval requirements described below and the requirement that any on-market purchases be effected on a “recognized stock exchange.” Except where otherwise noted, when we refer elsewhere in this prospectus to repurchasing or buying back ordinary shares of Trane Technologies, we are referring to the redemption of ordinary shares by Trane Technologies pursuant to Article 3(d) of the articles of association or the purchase of ordinary shares of Trane Technologies by a subsidiary of Trane Technologies, in each case in accordance with the Trane Technologies articles of association and Irish company law as described below.

Repurchases and Redemptions by Trane Technologies

Under Irish law, a company can issue redeemable shares and redeem them out of distributable reserves (which are described above under “—Dividends”) or the proceeds of a new issue of shares for that purpose. Trane Technologies currently has distributable reserves which are calculated by reference to the relevant financial statements of Trane Technologies. Please see “—Dividends.” All redeemable shares must be fully paid and the terms of redemption of the shares must provide for payment on redemption. Redeemable shares may, upon redemption, be cancelled or held in treasury. Shareholder approval will not be required to redeem Trane Technologies shares.

The board of directors of Trane Technologies is also entitled to issue preferred shares which may be redeemed at the option of either Trane Technologies or the shareholder, depending on the terms of such preferred shares. Please see “—Capital Structure—Authorized Share Capital” above for additional information on redeemable shares.

Repurchased and redeemed shares may be cancelled or held as treasury shares. The nominal value of treasury shares held by Trane Technologies at any time must not exceed 10% of the nominal value of the issued share capital of Trane Technologies. While Trane Technologies holds shares as treasury shares, it cannot exercise any voting rights in respect of those shares. Treasury shares may be cancelled by Trane Technologies or re-issued subject to certain conditions.

Purchases by Subsidiaries of Trane Technologies

Under Irish law, it may be permissible for an Irish or non-Irish subsidiary to purchase shares of Trane Technologies either on-market or off-market. A general authority of the shareholders of Trane Technologies is required to allow a subsidiary of Trane Technologies to make on-market purchases of Trane Technologies shares; however, as long as this general authority has been granted, no specific shareholder authority for a particular on-market purchase by a subsidiary of Trane Technologies shares is required. Trane Technologies does not currently seek such authority from its shareholders but may seek such general authority from shareholders in the future. In order for a subsidiary of Trane Technologies to make an on-market purchase of Trane Technologies’ shares, such shares must be purchased on a “recognized stock exchange.” The NYSE, on which the shares of Trane Technologies are listed, is a “recognized stock exchange” for this purpose under the Irish Companies (Recognized Stock Exchanges) Regulations 2015. For an off-market purchase by a subsidiary of Trane Technologies, the proposed purchase contract must be authorized by special resolution of the shareholders of Trane Technologies before the contract is entered into. The person whose shares are to be bought back cannot vote in favor of the special resolution and, for at least 21 days prior to the special resolution, the purchase contract must be on display or must be available for inspection by shareholders at the registered office of Trane Technologies.

The number of shares held by the subsidiaries of Trane Technologies at any time will count as treasury shares and will be included in any calculation of the permitted treasury share threshold of 10% of the nominal value of the issued share capital of Trane Technologies. While a subsidiary holds shares of Trane Technologies, it cannot exercise any voting rights in respect of those shares. The acquisition of the shares of Trane Technologies by a subsidiary must be funded out of distributable reserves of the subsidiary.

Existing Share Repurchase Program

The board of directors of Trane Technologies has authorized a program to repurchase up to $3.0 billion of its ordinary shares. As of March 31, 2024, there was approximately $2.2 billion of authorization remaining under the program. Based on market conditions, share repurchases will be made from time to time in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of management. The repurchase program does not have a prescribed expiration date.

As noted above, because repurchases of Trane Technologies shares by Trane Technologies will technically be effected as a redemption of those shares pursuant to Article 3(d) of the articles of association, shareholder approval for such repurchases will not be required.

Bonus Shares

Under Trane Technologies’ articles of association, the board may resolve to capitalize any amount credited to any reserve or fund available for distribution or the share premium account of Trane Technologies for issuance and distribution to shareholders as fully paid up bonus shares on the same basis of entitlement as would apply in respect of a dividend distribution.

Consolidation and Division; Subdivision

Under its articles of association, Trane Technologies may by ordinary resolution consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger par value than its existing shares or subdivide its shares into smaller amounts than is fixed by its articles of association.

Reduction of Share Capital

Trane Technologies may, by ordinary resolution, reduce its authorized share capital in any way. Trane Technologies also may, by special resolution and subject to confirmation by the Irish High Court, reduce or cancel its issued share capital in any way.

General Meetings of Shareholders

Trane Technologies is required to hold annual general meetings at intervals of no more than fifteen months, provided that an annual general meeting is held in each calendar year, no more than nine months after Trane Technologies’ fiscal year-end. Trane Technologies holds its annual general meetings in Ireland. However, any annual general meeting may be held outside Ireland if a resolution so authorizing is passed at the preceding annual general meeting. Because of the fifteen-month requirement described in this paragraph, Trane Technologies’ articles of association include a provision reflecting this requirement of Irish law. At any annual general meeting, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting (a) by or at the direction of the board or (b) by any member entitled to vote at such meeting who complies with the procedures set forth in the articles of association.

Extraordinary general meetings of Trane Technologies may be convened by (i) the chair of the board of directors, (ii) the board of directors, (iii) on requisition of the shareholders holding not less than 10% of the paid up share capital of Trane Technologies carrying voting rights or (iv) on requisition of Trane Technologies’ auditors. Extraordinary general meetings are generally held for the purposes of approving shareholder resolutions of Trane Technologies as may be required from time to time. At any extraordinary general meeting only such business shall be conducted as is set forth in the notice thereof.

Notice of a general meeting must be given to all shareholders of Trane Technologies and to the auditors of Trane Technologies. The articles of association of Trane Technologies provide that the maximum notice period is 60 days. The minimum notice periods are 21 days’ notice in writing for an annual general meeting or an extraordinary general meeting to approve a special resolution and 14 days’ notice in writing for any other extraordinary general meeting. Because of the 21-day and 14-day requirements described in this paragraph, Trane Technologies’ articles of association include provisions reflecting these requirements of Irish law.

In the case of an extraordinary general meeting convened by shareholders of Trane Technologies, the proposed purpose of the meeting must be set out in the requisition notice. The requisition notice can contain any resolution. Upon receipt of this requisition notice, the board of directors has 21 days to convene a meeting of Trane Technologies’ shareholders to vote on the matters set out in the requisition notice. This meeting must be held within two months of the receipt of the requisition notice. If the board of directors does not convene the meeting within such 21-day period, the requisitioning shareholders, or any of them representing more than one half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a meeting, which meeting must be held within three months of the receipt of the requisition notice.

The only matters which must, as a matter of Irish company law, be transacted at an annual general meeting are the presentation of the annual financial statements, reports of the directors and auditors, the review by the members of the company’s affairs, the appointment of auditors and the approval of the auditor’s remuneration (or delegation of same), the declaration of dividends and the election of directors. If no resolution is made in respect of the reappointment of an auditor at an annual general meeting, the previous auditor will be deemed to have continued in office.

Directors are elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders at an annual general meeting and serve for one year terms. Where there is a contested election and the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, then a plurality voting standard shall apply and only those nominees receiving the most votes for the available seats will be elected. However, because Irish law requires a minimum of two directors at all times, in the event that an election results in no director being elected, each of the two nominees receiving the greatest number of votes in favor of his or her election shall hold office until his or her successor shall be elected. In the event that an election results in only one director being elected, that director shall be elected and shall serve for a one year term, and the nominee receiving the greatest number of votes in favor of their election shall hold office until his or her successor shall be elected.

If the directors become aware that the net assets of Trane Technologies are half or less of the amount of Trane Technologies’ called-up share capital, the directors of Trane Technologies must convene an extraordinary

 

28


Table of Contents

general meeting of Trane Technologies’ shareholders not later than 28 days from the date that they learn of this fact. This meeting must be convened for the purposes of considering whether any, and if so what, measures should be taken to address the situation.

Voting

At a general meeting a resolution put to the vote is decided by a poll whereby every shareholder shall have one vote for each ordinary share that he or she holds as of the record date for the meeting. Voting rights may be exercised by shareholders registered in Trane Technologies’ share register as of the record date for the meeting or by a duly appointed proxy of such a registered shareholder, which proxy need not be a shareholder. Where interests in shares are held by a nominee trust company, this company may exercise the rights of the beneficial holders on their behalf as their proxy. All proxies must be appointed in the manner prescribed by Trane Technologies’ articles of association, by such time as is prescribed in the notice of the meeting, and if no time is specified, by no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting. The articles of association of Trane Technologies permit the appointment of proxies by the shareholders to be notified to Trane Technologies electronically.

In accordance with the articles of association of Trane Technologies, the directors of Trane Technologies may from time to time cause Trane Technologies to issue preferred shares. These preferred shares may have such voting rights as may be specified in the terms of such preferred shares (e.g., they may carry more votes per share than ordinary shares or may entitle their holders to a class vote on such matters as may be specified in the terms of the preferred shares).

Treasury shares will not be entitled to vote at general meetings of shareholders.

Irish company law requires “special resolutions” of the shareholders at a general meeting to approve certain matters. A special resolution requires not less than 75% of the votes cast of Trane Technologies’ shareholders at a general meeting. This may be contrasted with “ordinary resolutions,” which require a simple majority of the votes of Trane Technologies’ shareholders cast at a general meeting. Examples of matters requiring special resolutions include:

 

   

Amending the objects of Trane Technologies;

 

   

Amending the articles of association of Trane Technologies;

 

   

Approving the change of name of Trane Technologies;

 

   

Authorizing the entering into of a guarantee or provision of security in connection with a loan, quasi-loan or credit transaction to a director or connected person;

 

   

Opting out of pre-emption rights on the issuance of new shares;

 

   

Re-registration of Trane Technologies from a public limited company as a private company;

 

   

Variation of class rights attaching to classes of shares;

 

   

Purchase of own shares off-market;

 

   

The reduction of share capital;

 

   

Resolving that Trane Technologies be wound up by the Irish courts;

 

   

Resolving in favor of a shareholders’ voluntary winding-up;

 

   

Re-designation of shares into different share classes; and

 

   

Setting the re-issue price of treasury shares.

Table of Contents

A scheme of arrangement with shareholders requires a court order from the Irish High Court and the approval of: (1) 75% of the voting shareholders by value; and (2) 50% in number of the voting shareholders, at a meeting called to approve the scheme.

Variation of all or any special rights attached to any class or series of shares of Trane Technologies is addressed in the articles of association of Trane Technologies as well as the Irish Companies Act. Any variation of class rights attaching to the issued shares of Trane Technologies must be approved by a special resolution of the shareholders of the class or series affected.

Quorum for General Meetings

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the Trane Technologies ordinary shares outstanding constitutes a quorum for the conduct of business. No business may take place at a general meeting of Trane Technologies if a quorum is not present in person or by proxy. The board of directors has no authority to waive quorum requirements stipulated in the articles of association of Trane Technologies. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum in respect of the proposals.

Inspection of Books and Records

Under Irish law, shareholders have the right to: (i) receive a copy of the memorandum and articles of association of Trane Technologies and any act of the Irish government which alters the memorandum of association of Trane Technologies; (ii) inspect and obtain copies of the minutes of general meetings and resolutions of Trane Technologies; (iii) inspect and receive a copy of the register of shareholders, register of directors and secretaries, register of directors’ interests and other statutory registers maintained by Trane Technologies; (iv) receive copies of balance sheets and directors’ and auditors’ reports which have previously been sent to shareholders prior to an annual general meeting; and (v) receive balance sheets of a subsidiary company of Trane Technologies which have previously been sent to shareholders prior to an annual general meeting for the preceding ten years. The auditors of Trane Technologies will also have the right to inspect all books, records and vouchers of Trane Technologies. The auditors’ report must be circulated to the shareholders with audited consolidated annual financial statements of Trane Technologies prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards 21 days before the annual general meeting and must be read to the shareholders at Trane Technologies’ annual general meeting.

Acquisitions

There are a number of mechanisms for acquiring an Irish public limited company, including:

 

  (a)

a court-approved scheme of arrangement under the Irish Companies Act. A scheme of arrangement with shareholders requires a court order from the Irish High Court and the approval of: (1) 75% of the voting shareholders by value; and (2) 50% in number of the voting shareholders, at a meeting called to approve the scheme;

 

  (b)

through a tender offer by a third party for all of the shares of Trane Technologies. Where the holders of 80% or more of Trane Technologies’ shares have accepted an offer for their shares in Trane Technologies, the remaining shareholders may be statutorily required to also transfer their shares. If the bidder does not exercise its “squeeze out” right, then the non-accepting shareholders also have a statutory right to require the bidder to acquire their shares on the same terms. If shares of Trane Technologies were listed on the Irish Stock Exchange or another regulated stock exchange in the EU, this threshold would be increased to 90%;

Table of Contents
  (c)

it is possible for Trane Technologies to be acquired by way of a merger with an EU-incorporated public company under the EU Cross Border Merger Directive 2005/56. Such a merger must be approved by a special resolution. If Trane Technologies is being merged with another EU public company under the EU Cross Border Merger Directive 2005/56 and the consideration payable to Trane Technologies’ shareholders is not all in the form of cash, Trane Technologies’ shareholders may be entitled to require their shares to be acquired at fair value; and

 

  (d)

it is also possible for Trane Technologies to be acquired by way of a merger with an Irish incorporated company under the Irish Companies Act. Such a merger must be implemented by a court order from the Irish High Court and be approved by a special resolution of Trane Technologies’ shareholders.

Under Irish law, there is no requirement for a company’s shareholders to approve a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of a company’s property and assets. However, Trane Technologies’ articles of association provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares on the relevant record date is required to approve a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of its property or assets.

Appraisal Rights

Generally, under Irish law, shareholders of an Irish company do not have appraisal rights. Under the EC (Cross-Border Mergers) Regulations 2008 (as amended by the European Communities (Mergers and Divisions of Companies) (Amendment) Regulations 2011) and Part 17 of the Irish Companies Act governing the merger of an Irish public limited company and a company incorporated in the European Economic Area, a shareholder (a) who voted against the special resolution approving the merger or (b) of a company in which 90% of the shares is held by the other company the party to the merger of the transferor company has the right to request that the company acquire its shares for cash.

Disclosure of Interests in Shares

Under the Irish Companies Act, there is a notification requirement for shareholders who acquire or cease to be interested in 3% of the shares of an Irish public limited company. A shareholder of Trane Technologies must therefore make such a notification to Trane Technologies if as a result of a transaction the shareholder will be interested in 3% or more of the shares of Trane Technologies; or if as a result of a transaction a shareholder who was interested in more than 3% of the shares of Trane Technologies ceases to be so interested. Where a shareholder is interested in more than 3% of the shares of Trane Technologies, any alteration of his or her interest that brings his or her total holding through the nearest whole percentage number, whether an increase or a reduction, must be notified to Trane Technologies. The relevant percentage figure is calculated by reference to the aggregate par value of the shares in which the shareholder is interested as a proportion of the entire par value of Trane Technologies’ share capital. Where the percentage level of the shareholder’s interest does not amount to a whole percentage this figure may be rounded down to the next whole number. All such disclosures should be notified to Trane Technologies within five business days of the transaction or alteration of the shareholder’s interests that gave rise to the requirement to notify. Where a person fails to comply with the notification requirements described above no right or interest of any kind whatsoever in respect of any shares in Trane Technologies concerned, held by such person, shall be enforceable by such person, whether directly or indirectly, by action or legal proceeding. However, such person may apply to the court to have the rights attaching to the shares concerned reinstated.

In addition to the above disclosure requirement, Trane Technologies, under the Irish Companies Act, may by notice in writing require a person whom Trane Technologies knows or has reasonable cause to believe to be, or at any time during the three years immediately preceding the date on which such notice is issued, to have been interested in shares comprised in Trane Technologies’ relevant share capital to: (a) indicate whether or not it is the case, and (b) where such person holds or has during that time held an interest in the shares of Trane

Technologies, to give such further information as may be required by Trane Technologies including particulars of such person’s own past or present interests in shares of Trane Technologies. Any information given in response to the notice is required to be given in writing within such reasonable time as may be specified in the notice.

Where such a notice is served by Trane Technologies on a person who is or was interested in shares of Trane Technologies and that person fails to give Trane Technologies any information required within the reasonable time specified, Trane Technologies may apply to court for an order directing that the affected shares be subject to certain restrictions. Under the Irish Companies Act, the restrictions that may be placed on the shares by the court are as follows:

 

  (a)

any transfer of those shares, or in the case of unissued shares any transfer of the right to be issued with shares and any issue of shares, shall be void;

 

  (b)

no voting rights shall be exercisable in respect of those shares;

 

  (c)

no further shares shall be issued in right of those shares or in pursuance of any offer made to the holder of those shares; and

 

  (d)

no payment shall be made of any sums due from Trane Technologies on those shares, whether in respect of capital or otherwise.

Where the shares in Trane Technologies are subject to these restrictions, the court may order the shares to be sold and may also direct that the shares shall cease to be subject to these restrictions.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Business Combinations with Interested Shareholders

As provided in Trane Technologies’ articles of association, the affirmative vote of the holders of 80% of the shares then in issue of all classes of shares entitled to vote considered for purposes of this provision as one class, is required for Trane Technologies to engage in any “business combination” with any interested shareholder (generally, a 10% or greater shareholder), provided that the above vote requirement does not apply to:

 

   

any business combination with an interested shareholder that has been approved by the board of directors; or

 

   

any agreement for the amalgamation, merger or consolidation of any of Trane Technologies’ subsidiaries with Trane Technologies or with another of Trane Technologies’ subsidiaries if (1) the relevant provisions of Trane Technologies’ articles of association will not be changed or otherwise affected by or by virtue of the amalgamation, merger or consolidation and (2) the holders of greater than 50% of the voting power of Trane Technologies or the subsidiary, as appropriate, immediately prior to the amalgamation, merger or consolidation continue to hold greater than 50% of the voting power of the amalgamated company immediately following the amalgamation, merger or consolidation.

Trane Technologies’ articles of association provide that “business combination” means:

 

   

any amalgamation, merger or consolidation of Trane Technologies or one of Trane Technologies’ subsidiaries with an interested shareholder or with any person that is, or would be after such amalgamation, merger or consolidation, an affiliate or associate of an interested shareholder;

 

   

any transfer or other disposition to or with an interested shareholder or any affiliate or associate of an interested shareholder of all or any material part of the assets of Trane Technologies or one of Trane Technologies’ subsidiaries; and

 

32


Table of Contents
   

any issuance or transfer of Trane Technologies’ shares upon conversion of or in exchange for the securities or assets of any interested shareholder, or with any company that is, or would be after such merger or consolidation, an affiliate or associate of an interested shareholder.

Under the Irish Takeover Rules, there is also a mandatory ‘put up or shut up’ (“PUSU”) regime pursuant to which any announcement by a company that commences an offer period must identify the potential bidder in talks with the company or from which an approach has been received. Bidders will have a period of 42 days following the announcement in which they are first identified to announce a firm intention to make an offer for the company or announce that they do not intend to make an offer, in which case the bidder will be restricted from making an offer for the company in the following 6 months.

Irish Takeover Rules and Substantial Acquisition Rules

A transaction by virtue of which a third party is seeking to acquire 30% or more of the voting rights of Trane Technologies will be governed by the Irish Takeover Panel Act 1997 (as amended) and the Irish Takeover Rules made thereunder and will be regulated by the Irish Takeover Panel. The “General Principles” of the Irish Takeover Rules and certain important aspects of the Irish Takeover Rules are described below.

General Principles

The Irish Takeover Rules are built on the following General Principles which will apply to any transaction regulated by the Irish Takeover Panel:

 

   

in the event of an offer, all classes of shareholders of the target company should be afforded equivalent treatment and, if a person acquires control of a company, the other holders of securities must be protected;

 

   

the holders of securities in the target company must have sufficient time to allow them to make an informed decision regarding the offer;

 

   

the board of a company must act in the interests of the company as a whole. If the board of the target company advises the holders of securities as regards the offer it must advise on the effects of the implementation of the offer on employment, employment conditions and the locations of the target company’s place of business;

 

   

false markets in the securities of the target company or any other company concerned by the offer must not be created;

 

   

a bidder can only announce an offer after ensuring that he or she can fulfill in full the consideration offered;

 

   

a target company may not be hindered longer than is reasonable by an offer for its securities. This is a recognition that an offer will disrupt the day-to-day running of a target company particularly if the offer is hostile and the board of the target company must divert its attention to resist the offer; and

 

   

a “substantial acquisition” of securities (whether such acquisition is to be effected by one transaction or a series of transactions) will only be allowed to take place at an acceptable speed and shall be subject to adequate and timely disclosure.

Mandatory Bid

If an acquisition of shares were to increase the aggregate holding of an acquirer and its concert parties to shares carrying 30% or more of the voting rights in Trane Technologies, the acquirer and, depending on the circumstances, its concert parties would be required (except with the consent of the Irish Takeover Panel) to make a cash offer for the outstanding shares at a price not less than the highest price paid for the shares by the

 

33


Table of Contents

acquirer or its concert parties during the previous 12 months. This requirement would also be triggered by an acquisition of shares by a person holding (together with its concert parties) shares carrying between 30% and 50% of the voting rights in Trane Technologies if the effect of such acquisition were to increase the percentage of the voting rights held by that person (together with its concert parties) by 0.05% within a twelve-month period. A single holder (that is, a holder excluding any parties acting in concert with the holder) holding more than 50% of the voting rights of a company is not subject to this rule.

Voluntary Bid; Requirements to Make a Cash Offer and Minimum Price Requirements

A voluntary offer is an offer that is not a mandatory offer. If a bidder or any of its concert parties acquire ordinary shares of Trane Technologies within the period of three months prior to the commencement of the offer period, the offer price must be not less than the highest price paid for Trane Technologies ordinary shares by the bidder or its concert parties during that period. The Irish Takeover Panel has the power to extend the “look back” period to 12 months if the Irish Takeover Panel, having regard to the General Principles, believes it is appropriate to do so.

If the bidder or any of its concert parties has acquired ordinary shares of Trane Technologies (i) during the period of 12 months prior to the commencement of the offer period which represent more than 10% of the total ordinary shares of Trane Technologies or (ii) at any time after the commencement of the offer period, the offer shall be in cash (or accompanied by a full cash alternative) and the price per Trane Technologies ordinary share shall be not less than the highest price paid by the bidder or its concert parties during, in the case of (i), the period of 12 months prior to the commencement of the offer period and, in the case of (ii), the offer period. The Irish Takeover Panel may apply this rule to a bidder who, together with its concert parties, has acquired less than 10% of the total ordinary shares of Trane Technologies in the 12 month period prior to the commencement of the offer period if the Panel, having regard to the General Principles, considers it just and proper to do so.

An offer period will generally commence from the date of the first announcement of the offer or proposed offer.

Substantial Acquisition Rules

The Irish Takeover Rules also contain rules governing substantial acquisitions of shares which restrict the speed at which a person may increase his or her holding of shares and rights over shares to an aggregate of between 15% and 30% of the voting rights of Trane Technologies. Except in certain circumstances, an acquisition or series of acquisitions of shares or rights over shares representing 10% or more of the voting rights of Trane Technologies is prohibited, if such acquisition(s), when aggregated with shares or rights already held, would result in the acquirer holding 15% or more but less than 30% of the voting rights of Trane Technologies and such acquisitions are made within a period of seven days. These rules also require accelerated disclosure of acquisitions of shares or rights over shares relating to such holdings.

Frustrating Action

Under the Irish Takeover Rules, the board of directors of Trane Technologies is not permitted to take any action which might frustrate an offer for the shares of Trane Technologies once the board of directors has received an approach which may lead to an offer or has reason to believe an offer is imminent except as noted below. Potentially frustrating actions such as (i) the issue of shares, options or convertible securities, (ii) material disposals, (iii) entering into contracts other than in the ordinary course of business or (iv) any action, other than seeking alternative offers, which may result in frustration of an offer, are prohibited during the course of an offer or at any time during which the board has reason to believe an offer is imminent. Exceptions to this prohibition are available where:

 

  (a)

the action is approved by Trane Technologies’ shareholders at a general meeting; or

 

34


Table of Contents
  (b)

with the consent of the Irish Takeover Panel where:

 

  (i)

the Irish Takeover Panel is satisfied the action would not constitute a frustrating action;

 

  (ii)

the holders of 50% of the voting rights state in writing that they approve the proposed action and would vote in favor of it at a general meeting;

 

  (iii)

in accordance with a contract entered into prior to the announcement of the offer; or

 

  (iv)

the decision to take such action was made before the announcement of the offer and either has been at least partially implemented or is in the ordinary course of business.

For other provisions that could be considered to have an anti-takeover effect, please see above at “—Pre-emption Rights, Share Warrants and Share Options” and “—Disclosure of Interests in Shares,” in addition to “—Corporate Governance” below.

Corporate Governance

The articles of association of Trane Technologies allocate authority over the management of Trane Technologies to the board of directors. The board of directors may then delegate management of Trane Technologies to committees of the board, executives or to a management team, but regardless, the directors will remain responsible, as a matter of Irish law, for the proper management of the affairs of Trane Technologies. Trane Technologies currently has an Audit Committee, a Human Resources and Compensation Committee, a Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, a Finance Committee, a Technology and Innovation Committee and an Executive Committee. Trane Technologies has also adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that provide the corporate governance framework for Trane Technologies.

Legal Name; Formation; Fiscal Year; Registered Office

The legal and commercial name of Trane Technologies, an Irish public limited company, is Trane Technologies plc. Trane Technologies was incorporated in Ireland as a public limited company on April 1, 2009 with company registration number 469272. Trane Technologies’ fiscal year ends on December 31 and its registered address is 170/175 Lakeview Dr., Airside Business Park, Swords, Co. Dublin, Ireland.

Duration; Dissolution; Rights upon Liquidation

Trane Technologies’ duration will be unlimited. Trane Technologies may be dissolved at any time by way of either a shareholders’ voluntary winding up or a creditors’ voluntary winding up. In the case of a shareholders’ voluntary winding up, the consent of not less than 75% of the shareholders of Trane Technologies is required. Trane Technologies may also be dissolved by way of court order on the application of a creditor, or by the Companies Registration Office as an enforcement measure where Trane Technologies has failed to file certain returns.

The rights of the shareholders to a return of Trane Technologies’ assets on dissolution or winding up, following the settlement of all claims of creditors, may be prescribed in Trane Technologies’ articles of association or the terms of any preferred shares issued by the directors of Trane Technologies from time to time. The holders of preferred shares in particular may have the right to priority in a dissolution or winding up of Trane Technologies. If the articles of association contain no specific provisions in respect of a dissolution or winding up then, subject to the priorities or any creditors, the assets will be distributed to shareholders in proportion to the paid-up par value of the shares held. Trane Technologies’ articles of association provide that the ordinary shareholders of Trane Technologies are entitled to participate pro rata in a winding up, but their right to do so may be subject to the rights of any preferred shareholders to participate under the terms of any series or class of preferred shares.

Uncertificated Shares

Holders of ordinary shares of Trane Technologies will not have the right to require Trane Technologies to issue certificates for their shares. Trane Technologies will only issue uncertificated ordinary shares.

Stock Exchange Listing

Trane Technologies’ ordinary shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TT.”

No Sinking Fund

The ordinary shares have no sinking fund provisions.

No Liability for Further Calls or Assessments

All of our issued ordinary shares are duly and validly issued and fully paid.

Transfer and Registration of Shares

Trane Technologies’ share register is maintained by its transfer agent. Registration in this share register will be determinative of membership in Trane Technologies. A shareholder of Trane Technologies who holds shares beneficially will not be the holder of record of such shares. Instead, the depository (for example, Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC) or other nominee will be the holder of record of such shares. Accordingly, a transfer of shares from a person who holds such shares beneficially to a person who also holds such shares beneficially through a depository or other nominee will not be registered in Trane Technologies’ official share register, as the depository or other nominee will remain the record holder of such shares.

A written instrument of transfer is required under Irish law in order to register on Trane Technologies’ official share register any transfer of shares (i) from a person who holds such shares directly to any other person, (ii) from a person who holds such shares beneficially to a person who holds such shares directly, or (iii) from a person who holds such shares beneficially to another person who holds such shares beneficially where the transfer involves a change in the depository or other nominee that is the record owner of the transferred shares. An instrument of transfer also is required for a shareholder who directly holds shares to transfer those shares into his or her own broker account (or vice versa). Such instruments of transfer may give rise to Irish stamp duty, which must be paid prior to registration of the transfer on Trane Technologies’ official Irish share register.

We currently intend to pay (or cause one of our affiliates to pay) stamp duty in connection with share transfers made in the ordinary course of trading by a seller who holds shares directly to a buyer who holds the acquired shares beneficially. In other cases Trane Technologies may, in its absolute discretion, pay (or cause one of its affiliates to pay) any stamp duty. Trane Technologies’ articles of association provide that, in the event of any such payment, Trane Technologies (i) may seek reimbursement from the transferor or transferee (at our discretion), (ii) may set-off the amount of the stamp duty against future dividends payable to the transferor or transferee (at our discretion), and (iii) will have a lien against the Trane Technologies shares on which we have paid stamp duty. Parties to a share transfer may assume that any stamp duty arising in respect of a transaction in Trane Technologies shares has been paid unless one or both of such parties is otherwise notified by us.

Trane Technologies’ articles of association delegate to Trane Technologies’ secretary or an assistant secretary the authority to execute an instrument of transfer on behalf of a transferring party. In order to help ensure that the official share register is regularly updated to reflect trading of Trane Technologies shares occurring through normal electronic systems, we intend to regularly produce any required instruments of transfer in connection with any transactions for which we pay stamp duty (subject to the reimbursement and set-off rights described above). In the event that we notify one or both of the parties to a share transfer that we believe stamp

 

36


Table of Contents

duty is required to be paid in connection with such transfer and that we will not pay such stamp duty, such parties may either themselves arrange for the execution of the required instrument of transfer (and may request a form of instrument of transfer from Trane Technologies for this purpose) or request that Trane Technologies execute an instrument of transfer on behalf of the transferring party in a form determined by Trane Technologies. In either event, if the parties to the share transfer have the instrument of transfer duly stamped (to the extent required) and then provide it to Trane Technologies’ transfer agent, the transferee will be registered as the legal owner of the relevant shares on Trane Technologies’ official Irish share register (subject to the matters described below).

The directors of Trane Technologies have general discretion to decline to register an instrument of transfer unless the transfer is in respect of one class of share only.

The registration of transfers may be suspended by the directors at such times and for such period, not exceeding in the whole 30 days in each year, as the directors may from time to time determine.

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

The following description of preferred shares represented by depositary shares sets forth certain general terms and provisions of depositary agreements, depositary shares and depositary receipts. This summary does not contain all of the information that you may find useful. The particular terms of the depositary shares and related agreements and receipts will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those depositary shares. For more information, you should review the form of deposit agreement and form of depositary receipts relating to each series of the preferred shares, which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of that series of preferred shares. As used in this section only, “we”, “our” and “us” refers only to Trane Technologies.

General

We may elect to have preferred shares represented by depositary shares. The preferred shares of any series underlying the depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement between us and a bank or trust company we select. The prospectus supplement relating to a series of depositary shares will set forth the name and address of this preferred share depositary. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, proportionately, to all the rights, preferences and privileges of the preferred share represented by such depositary share (including dividend, voting, redemption, conversion, exchange and liquidation rights).

The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement, each of which will represent the applicable interest in a number of shares of a particular series of the preferred shares described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

A holder of depositary shares will be entitled to receive the preferred shares (but only in whole preferred shares) underlying those depositary shares. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the whole number of preferred shares to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to that holder at the same time a new depositary receipt for the excess number of depositary shares.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the depositary agreement, the depositary shares and the depositary receipts will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Dividends and Other Distributions

The preferred share depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions in respect of the preferred shares to the record holders of depositary receipts in proportion, insofar as possible, to the number of depositary shares owned by those holders.

If there is a distribution other than in cash in respect of the preferred shares, the preferred share depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary receipts in proportion, insofar as possible, to the number of depositary shares owned by those holders, unless the preferred share depositary determines that it is not feasible to make such a distribution. In that case, the preferred share depositary may, with our approval, adopt any method that it deems equitable and practicable to effect the distribution, including a public or private sale of the property and distribution of the net proceeds from the sale to the holders.

The amount distributed in any of the above cases will be reduced by any amount we or the preferred share depositary are required to withhold on account of taxes.

Conversion and Exchange

If any preferred share underlying the depositary shares is subject to provisions relating to its conversion or exchange as set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, each record holder of depositary shares will have the right or obligation to convert or exchange those depositary shares pursuant to those provisions.

 

38


Table of Contents

Redemption of Depositary Shares

Whenever we redeem a preferred share held by the preferred share depositary, the preferred share depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date a proportionate number of depositary shares representing the preferred shares that were redeemed. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the aggregate redemption price payable with respect to the number of preferred shares underlying the depositary shares. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or proportionately as we may determine.

After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of the depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive the redemption price.

Voting

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of any preferred shares underlying the depositary shares are entitled to vote, the preferred share depositary will mail the information contained in the notice to the record holders of the depositary receipts. Each record holder of the depositary receipts on the record date (which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred shares) may then instruct the preferred share depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the number of preferred shares underlying that holder’s depositary shares. The preferred share depositary will try to vote the number of preferred shares underlying the depositary shares in accordance with the instructions, and we will agree to take all reasonable action which the preferred share depositary deems necessary to enable the preferred share depositary to do so. The preferred share depositary will abstain from voting the preferred shares to the extent that it does not receive specific written instructions from holders of depositary receipts representing the preferred share.

Record Date

Whenever (i) any cash dividend or other cash distribution becomes payable, any distribution other than cash is made, or any rights, preferences or privileges are offered with respect to the preferred shares or (ii) the preferred share depositary receives notice of any meeting at which holders of preferred shares are entitled to vote or of which holders of preferred shares are entitled to notice, or of the mandatory conversion of or any election by us to call for the redemption of any preferred share, then the preferred share depositary will in each instance fix a record date (which will be the same as the record date for the preferred shares) for the determination of the holders of depositary receipts:

 

   

who will be entitled to receive dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of any sale; or

 

   

who will be entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or to receive notice of the meeting or the redemption or conversion, subject to the provisions of the deposit agreement.

Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement

We and the preferred share depositary may at any time agree to amend the form of depositary receipt and any provision of the deposit agreement. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of holders of depositary shares will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding. The deposit agreement may be terminated by us or by the preferred share depositary only if all outstanding shares have been redeemed or if a final distribution in respect of the underlying preferred shares has been made to the holders of the depositary shares in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us.

Table of Contents

Charges of Preferred Share Depositary

We will pay all charges of the preferred share depositary including charges in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred shares, the initial issuance of the depositary receipts, the distribution of information to the holders of depositary receipts with respect to matters on which the preferred share is entitled to vote, withdrawals of the preferred share by the holders of depositary receipts or redemption or conversion of the preferred share, except for taxes (including transfer taxes, if any) and other governmental charges and any other charges expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be at the expense of holders of depositary receipts or persons depositing preferred shares.

Miscellaneous

Neither we nor the preferred share depositary will be liable if either of us is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond our control in performing any obligations under the deposit agreement. The obligations of the preferred share depositary under the deposit agreement are limited to performing its duties under the agreement without negligence or bad faith. Our obligations under the deposit agreement are limited to performing our duties in good faith. Neither we nor the preferred share depositary is obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares or preferred shares unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. We and the preferred share depositary may rely on advice of or information from counsel, accountants or other persons that they believe to be competent and on documents that they believe to be genuine.

The preferred share depositary may resign at any time or be removed by us, effective upon the acceptance by its successor of its appointment. If we have not appointed a successor preferred share depositary and the successor depositary has not accepted its appointment within 60 days after the preferred share depositary delivered a resignation notice to us, the preferred share depositary may terminate the deposit agreement. See “—Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement” above.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE PURCHASE CONTRACTS AND SHARE PURCHASE UNITS

The following description of share purchase contracts and share purchase units sets forth certain general terms and provisions of share purchase contracts and share purchase units. This summary does not contain all of the information that you may find useful. The particular terms of the share purchase contracts, the share purchase units and, if applicable, the prepaid securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities. For more information, you should review the share purchase contracts, the collateral arrangements and any depositary arrangements relating to such share purchase contracts or share purchase units and, if applicable, the prepaid securities and the document pursuant to which the prepaid securities will be issued, each of which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of the securities. As used in this section only, “we”, “our” and “us” refers to only Trane Technologies.

We may issue share purchase contracts representing contracts obligating holders to purchase from us and us to sell to the holders a specified number of ordinary shares or preferred shares at a future date or dates. The price per share of ordinary share or preferred share may be fixed at the time the share purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in the share purchase contracts.

The share purchase contracts may be issued separately or as a part of units, often known as share purchase units, consisting of a share purchase contract and either:

 

   

debt securities; or

 

   

debt obligations of third parties, including United States Treasury securities, securing the holder’s obligations to purchase the ordinary shares or preferred shares under the share purchase contracts. The share purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the share purchase units or vice versa, and such payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The share purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations in a specified manner and in certain circumstances we may deliver newly issued prepaid share purchase contracts, often known as prepaid securities, upon release to a holder of any collateral securing each holder’s obligations under the original share purchase contract.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the share purchase contracts, the share purchase units and the unit agreements pursuant to which the share purchase units will be issued will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

The financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (which is included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting) incorporated in this prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF LIABILITIES

Trane Technologies has been advised by its Irish counsel, Arthur Cox LLP, that a judgment for the payment of money rendered by a court in the United States based on civil liability would not automatically be enforceable in Ireland. There is no treaty between Ireland and the United States providing for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments. The following requirements must be met before the foreign judgment will be deemed to be enforceable in Ireland:

 

   

the judgment must be for a definite sum;

 

   

the judgment must be final and conclusive; and

 

   

the judgment must be provided by a court of competent jurisdiction. As a matter of Irish law, a court is considered one of competent jurisdiction if one of the following criteria are met:

 

   

the defendant was resident or present in the U.S. at the time the proceedings were served (e.g., proof of a physical presence or office in the jurisdiction); or

 

   

the defendant submitted to the jurisdiction of the court by participating in the proceedings.

An Irish court will also exercise its right to refuse judgment if the foreign judgment was obtained by fraud, if the judgment violated Irish public policy, if the judgment is in breach of natural justice or constitutional justice under the laws of Ireland, or if it is irreconcilable with an earlier foreign judgment.

Lux International has been advised by its Luxembourg counsel, Loyens & Loeff, that a judgment for the payment of money rendered by a court in the United States based on civil liability would not automatically be enforceable in Luxembourg. There is no treaty between Luxembourg and the United States providing for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgment. Enforcement of a judgment obtained against a Luxembourg company in a court in the United States by Luxembourg courts will be subject to the applicable enforcement procedure (exequatur). Pursuant to Luxembourg case law, the granting of exequatur is subject to the following requirements:

 

   

the foreign court order must be final and duly enforceable (executoire) in the country of origin;

 

   

the court of origin must have had jurisdiction both according to its own laws and to the Luxembourg conflict of jurisdictions rules;

 

   

the foreign procedure must have been regular according to the laws of the country of origin;

 

   

the foreign decision must not violate the rights of defense;

 

   

the foreign court must have applied the law which is designated by Luxembourg conflict of law rules, or, at least, the order must not contravene the principles underlying these rules;

 

   

the considerations of the foreign order as well as the judgment as such must not contravene Luxembourg international public order; and

 

   

the foreign order must not have been rendered subsequent to an evasion of Luxembourg law (fraude à la loi).

It may be difficult for a securityholder to effect service of process within the United States or to enforce judgments obtained against any of Trane Technologies, TTFL, Lux International or Irish Holdings in United States courts. Each of Trane Technologies, TTFL, Lux International and Irish Holdings has agreed that it may be served with process with respect to actions based on offers and sales of securities made in the United States and other violations of United States securities laws by having TTC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Trane Technologies, be its United States agent appointed for that purpose. TTC is located at 800-E Beaty Street, Davidson, North Carolina 28036. A judgment obtained against any of Trane Technologies, TTFL, Lux International or Irish Holdings in a United States court would be enforceable in the United States but

 

44


Table of Contents

could be executed upon only to the extent such company has assets in the United States. An Irish court may impose civil liability on Trane Technologies, TTFL or Irish Holdings, or their respective directors or officers, and a Luxembourg court may impose civil liability on Lux International, or its directors or officers in a suit brought against Lux International or its directors or officers, with respect to a violation of United States federal securities laws, provided that the facts surrounding such violation would constitute or give rise to a cause of action under Irish law or Luxembourg law, as the case may be.

ITEM 15.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Irish Entities

Trane Technologies

Subject to the provisions of and so far as may be admitted by Irish law, Trane Technologies’ articles of association provide that every director and the secretary of Trane Technologies shall be entitled to be indemnified by Trane Technologies against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him or her in the execution and discharge of his or her duties or in relation thereto including any liability incurred by him or her in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him or her as an officer or employee of Trane Technologies and in which judgment is given in his or her favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his or her part) or in which he or she is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him or her by the court.

Trane Technologies will also indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to a Proceeding (as defined below) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an “officer” of Trane Technologies as such term is defined under the Exchange Act (excluding any director or secretary) to the fullest extent permitted under Irish law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Such right shall include the right to be paid by Trane Technologies expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under Irish law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended; provided that to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the officer or other covered person is not entitled to be indemnified under this article or otherwise.

 

II-1


Table of Contents

Trane Technologies has entered into a deed poll indemnity as to each of Trane Technologies’ directors, secretary and officers and senior executives (as may be determined by the board of directors of Trane Technologies from time to time) as well as with individuals serving as a director, officer or some other function of Trane Technologies’ subsidiaries, providing for the indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, such persons, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Proceeding,” as used herein, means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit, claim or proceeding, and any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit, claim or proceeding.

Trane Technologies has taken out directors and officers liability insurance, as well as other types of insurance, for its directors, secretary and officers and senior executives.

Trane Technologies has a liability insurance policy in effect that covers certain claims against any of its officers or directors by reason of certain breaches of duty, neglect, errors or omissions committed by such person in his or her capacity as an officer or director. This liability insurance policy also covers the officers and directors (or equivalent) of Trane Holdco, TTFL, Lux International, TTGH, Irish Holdings, TTAHC and TTC.

TTFL

TTFL articles of association provide that every director and the secretary of TTFL shall be entitled to be indemnified by TTFL against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him or her in the execution and discharge of his or her duties or in relation thereto including any liability incurred by him or her in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him or her as an officer or employee of TTFL and in which judgment is given in his or her favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his or her part) or in which he or she is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him or her by the court.

Irish Holdings

Irish Holdings’ articles of association provide that every director and the secretary of Irish Holdings shall be entitled to be indemnified by Irish Holdings against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him or her in the execution and discharge of his or her duties or in relation thereto including any liability incurred by him or her in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him or her as an officer or employee of Irish Holdings and in which judgment is given in his or her favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his or her part) or in which he or she is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him or her by the court.

The Delaware Corporations

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or an officer, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of (i) a director or officer for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) a director or officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) a director under Section 174 of the DGCL, (iv) a director or officer for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. No such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.

 

II-2


Table of Contents

Section 145 of the DGCL generally provides that all directors and officers (as well as other employees and individuals) may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such individuals if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard of care is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that the DGCL requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Section 145 of the DGCL permits a corporation to advance expenses to or on behalf of a person entitled to be indemnified upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it is determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified and provides that the right to indemnification and advancement conferred thereby is not exclusive of any other right to which any person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Section 145 of the DGCL also authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as such at any other enterprise against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person under the DGCL.

Trane Holdco

Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of Trane Holdco provides that no director of the registrant shall be liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL.

Bylaws. The Bylaws of Trane Holdco provide that Trane Holdco is authorized to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Trane Holdco (and any other persons to which the DGCL permits Trane Holdco to provide indemnification) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The right of indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

TTGH

Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of TTGH is silent with respect to indemnification of directors or officers.

Bylaws. The Bylaws of TTGH provide that TTGH is authorized to indemnify (and advance expenses to) any person who is or was a director, officer, employees or agent of TTGH to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; provided, that, any indemnification in respect of an indemnitee who is or was an employee of TTGH shall be made by TTGH only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former employee is proper in the circumstances because such employee acted in good faith and in a manner such employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of TTGH, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such employee’s conduct was unlawful.

TTAHC

Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of TTAHC is silent with respect to indemnification of directors or officers.

Bylaws. The Bylaws of TTACH provide that TTAHC is authorized to indemnify (and advance expenses to) any person who is or was a director, officer, employees or agent of TTAHC to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; provided, that, any indemnification in respect of an indemnitee who is or was an employee of

 

II-3


Table of Contents

TTAHC shall be made by TTAHC only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former employee is proper in the circumstances because such employee acted in good faith and in a manner such employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of TTAHC, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such employee’s conduct was unlawful.

TTC

Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a Delaware limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. The Limited Liability Company Agreement of TTC provides that every person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of TTC) by reason of the fact that such person is, or was at the time of the alleged event giving rise to a claim for indemnity, (i) a member, manager or officer, (ii) an affiliate of a member, (iii) an employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of TTC, (iv) an officer, director, manager, employee, agent, fiduciary, or trustee of a member or (v) serving at the request of TTC or a person it controls (directly or indirectly) as an officer, director, manager, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of another person (each a “Covered Person”), shall be indemnified by TTC against any and all reasonable costs and expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Covered Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner the Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of TTC, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful. TTC may, in the sole discretion of the board of managers, advance expenses to or on behalf of a Covered Person entitled to be indemnified upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it is determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified. TTC may also purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Covered Person against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred in connection with the TTC’s activities or activities on behalf of TTC, regardless of whether TTC would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability or expense.

Lux International

The articles of association of Lux International provide that the managers act as representatives of the company and are only responsible for the execution of their respective mandate. The law of August 10, 1915, on commercial companies, as amended (the “Lux Companies Law”) provides that the managers shall be liable to the company in accordance with general law for the execution of the mandate given to them and for any misconduct in the management of the company’s affairs. They shall be jointly and severally liable both towards the company and any third parties for damages resulting from the violation of the Lux Companies Law or the articles of association of the company. They shall be discharged from such liability in a case of violation to which they were not a party provided no misconduct is attributable to them and they have reported such violation to the first general meeting after they had acquired knowledge thereof. In addition, managers may under specific circumstances also be subject to criminal liability, such as in the case of an abuse of assets. In the event of bankruptcy managers may be subject to specific criminal and civil liabilities, including the extension of the bankruptcy to the managers.

As indicated above, Trane Technologies has a liability insurance policy in effect that covers certain claims against any of its officers or directors by reason of certain breaches of duty, neglect, errors or omissions committed by such person in his or her capacity as an officer or director. This liability insurance policy also covers the officers and directors (or equivalent) of Lux International. However, under Luxembourg law, such liability insurance cannot extend to cover (i) civil liability caused by intentional fault, willful misconduct or fraud and (ii) criminal liability, and, as a consequence, may not be enforceable in Luxembourg courts.

Undertakings

The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i)

to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

  (ii)

to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering price range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (iii)

to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2)

That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

II-6


Table of Contents
(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

  (i)

Each prospectus filed by the registrants pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

  (ii)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(5)(a) 

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrants under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, each of the undersigned registrants offering securities will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

  (ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;

 

  (iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants; and

 

  (iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.

 

(b)

The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Trane Technologies’ annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)

The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the appropriate registrants will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question as to whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee for such Securities deems sufficient.

(c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee for such Securities, the Guarantors or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

SECTION 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Issuer and Guarantors.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

(1) the Trustee for a series of Securities by any Holder or by the Issuer or a Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (including telecopy) to or with such Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,

(2) the Issuer by such Trustee, or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing (including telecopy) and sent by registered or certified mail or overnight courier, prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to it care of Trane Technologies Company LLC, 800-E Beaty Street, Davidson, NC 28036, Attention: General Counsel or at any other address previously furnished in writing to such Trustee by the Issuer, or

(3) a Guarantor by such Trustee, or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing (including telecopy) and sent by registered or certified mail or overnight courier, prepaid, to such Guarantor addressed to it care of Trane Technologies Company LLC, 800-E Beaty Street, Davidson, NC 28036, Attention: General Counsel or at any other address previously furnished in writing to such Trustee by the Guarantors.

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuer or Guarantors elect to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method), the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s taking or refraining from taking action in reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with written instruction received subsequently to the Trustee taking or refraining from taking action in reliance upon the prior instructions. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct.

SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and delivered electronically or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the U.S. Depositary, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is delivered or mailed, neither the failure to deliver or mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so delivered or mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with

 

12


respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waiver of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee for such Securities, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee for such Securities shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 109. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer and the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 110. Separability Clause.

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities or the Guarantees shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture.

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities or the Guarantees, express or implied, shall give to any person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES AND THE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

13


SECTION 113. Legal Holidays.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities or the Guarantees) payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

SECTION 114. Incorporators, Shareholders, Officers and Directors of the Issuer and the Guarantors Exempt from Individual Liability.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on any Security or any Guarantee, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Issuer or any Guarantor in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture, or in any Security or in any Guarantee, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of any Issuer or any Guarantor or of any successor corporation, either directly or through any Issuer or any Guarantor or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby waived and released as a condition of and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Securities and any Guarantee.

SECTION 115. Counterparts.

This Indenture shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party only when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) any electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code/UCC (collectively, “Signature Law”), (ii) an original manual signature or (iii) a faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature. Each electronic signature or faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute one and the same instrument. For avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

SECTION 116. Currency Exchange.

If, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, it becomes necessary to determine the principal amount of Securities of any series denominated in any coin or currency other than that of the United States of America, such principal amount shall be computed by converting such coin or currency into coin or currency of the United States of America based upon the rate of exchange in effect at the office of the Trustee for such Securities in New York, New York at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, or as close to such time as is reasonably practicable, on the date of initial issuance of such series of Securities.

SECTION 117. Judgment Currency; Consent to Jurisdiction and Service.

(a) In respect of each series of Securities, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee for such Securities could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency at 10:00 A.M. New York City time, or as close to such time as is reasonably practicable, on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures such Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency at 10:00 A.M. New York City time, or as close to such time as is reasonably practicable, on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with this subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

(b) In respect of each series of Securities, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, New York in any suit, action or proceeding based on or arising out of or relating to this Indenture or any such Securities or Guarantee and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in any such court. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or

 

15


proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, and may be enforced in the courts of Luxembourg or Ireland (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Issuer or the Guarantors, as applicable, is subject) by a suit upon such judgment, provided, that service of process is effected upon the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, in the manner specified herein or as otherwise permitted by law. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Trane Technologies Company LLC, 800-E Beaty Street, Davidson, NC 28036 (the “Process Agent”) as their authorized agent for purposes of this Section 117(b), it being understood that the designation and appointment of the Process Agent as such authorized agent shall become effective immediately without any further action on the part of the Issuer or the Guarantors. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors further agrees that service of process upon the Process Agent and written notice of said service to the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, mailed by prepaid registered first class mail or delivered to the Process Agent at its principal office, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, in any such suit or proceeding. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments as may be necessary, to continue such designation and appointment of the Process Agent in full force and effect so long as the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, has any outstanding obligations under this Indenture. To the extent the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, executor or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Indenture to the extent permitted by law.

(c) EACH OF THE ISSUER, GUARANTORS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING SOLELY AMONG SUCH PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE OR THE NOTES.

SECTION 118. Force Majeure.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, (i) any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, (ii) any act of God, (iii) natural disaster, (iv) war, (v) terrorism, (vi) civil unrest, (vii) accidents, (viii) labor dispute, (ix) disease, (x) epidemic or pandemic, (xi) quarantine, (xii) national emergency, (xiii) loss or malfunction of utility or computer software or hardware, (xiv) communications system failure, (xv) malware or ransomware or (xvi) unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex system or other wire or other funds transfer systems, or (xvii) unavailability of any securities clearing system; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

SECTION 119. U.S.A. Patriot Act.

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

SECTION 120. FATCA.

In order to comply with applicable tax laws, rules and regulations (including directives, guidelines and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) in effect from time to time (“Applicable Law”), each of the Issuer and Guarantors agree to provide to the Trustee tax-information about holders or the transactions contemplated hereby (including any modification to the terms of such transactions), to the extent such information is directly available to each of the Issuer and Guarantors, so that the Trustee can determine whether it has tax-related obligations under Applicable Law and each of the Issuer and Guarantors acknowledges that the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under the Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law.

SECTION 121. Reduction in Capital.

Each Holder hereby consents to the Issuer or any Guarantor applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order sanctioning, approving, consenting to or confirming a reduction in any of its share capital accounts including, without limitation, by re-characterizing any sum standing to the credit of an undenominated capital account as a distributable reserve.

[If applicable, insert – Prior to ______ ( _____ month[s] prior to their maturity date) (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the Securities 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:

(A) the (a) sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Securities matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus ____basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and

 

21


(B) % of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to_____% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities or portions of the Securities called for redemption on and after the Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer 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). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer 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 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Issuer 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

 

22


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 Issuer 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 Issuer 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.

The Issuer will send by electronic delivery or mail otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the U.S. Depositary notice of any redemption at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed. Once the notice of redemption is sent, the Securities called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, subject to any conditions precedent specified in such notice. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or otherwise waived on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Redemption Date. The Issuer shall notify Holders of any such rescission as soon as practicable after we determine that such conditions precedent will not be able to be satisfied or the Issuer is not able or willing to waive such conditions precedent. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

In the case of a partial redemption of the Securities, selection of the Securities for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Securities of a principal amount of $______ or less will be redeemed in part. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the note will state the portion of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the note upon surrender for cancellation of the original note. For so long as the Securities are held by [the U.S. Depositary] (or another depositary), the redemption of the Securities shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary. The Securities will not be entitled to the benefit of any mandatory redemption or sinking fund.

Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.]

[In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]

[If the Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert – If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series (the “Acceleration Amount”) may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. In case of a declaration of acceleration on or before __________, __________ or on __________ in any year, the Acceleration Amount per principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities shall be equal to the amount set forth in respect of such date below:

 

Date of declaration

   Acceleration Amount per
principal amount at Stated

Maturity

and in case of a declaration of acceleration on any other date, the Acceleration Amount shall be equal to the Acceleration Amount as of the next preceding date set forth in the table above, plus accrued original issue discount (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on __________) from such next preceding date to the date of declaration at the yield to maturity. For the purpose of this computation the yield to maturity is ____%. Upon payment (i) of the Acceleration Amount so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Issuer’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.]

[If applicable, insert— Each Holder hereby consents to the Issuer or any Guarantor (or any additional or successor Guarantor) applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order sanctioning, approving, consenting to or confirming a reduction in any of its share capital accounts including, without limitation, by re-characterizing any sum standing to the credit of an undenominated capital account as a distributable reserve.]

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected.

consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. The Holders shall provide the Trustee with written notice of any waiver pursuant to the Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of __________ and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on this Security or any Guarantee endorsed hereon, or for any claim based hereon or thereon or otherwise in respect hereof or thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer or any Guarantor in the Indenture or in any indenture supplemental thereto, or in any Security or in any Guarantee, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or any Guarantor or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any Guarantor or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

The terms of each series of Securities shall be established either by a Board Resolution of the Issuer or by an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered pursuant to authority granted by a Board Resolution or by a supplemental indenture. If any of the terms of the series, including the form of Security of such series, are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Issuer, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary (or Persons performing similar functions) of the Issuer (or if the Issuer does not have a Secretary or Assistant Secretary, a director or manager of the Issuer) and delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of such series at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such series of Securities. If the terms of a series of Securities are to be established pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate, one or more duly appointed officers of the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee such Officer’s Certificate, acting pursuant to authority granted to such officers by the Board of Directors of the Issuer. If the terms of a series of Securities are to be established pursuant to a supplemental indenture, such supplemental indenture shall be entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 901 hereof.

Such Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture (including any exhibits thereto) shall establish:

30


All Securities of any particular series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution of the Issuer or set forth in such Officer’s Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

SECTION 302. Denominations.

The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Securities shall be executed, manually or by facsimile, on behalf of the Issuer by an Officer of the Issuer, and need not be attested.

Each Guarantee endorsed on any of the Securities shall be executed, manually or by facsimile, on behalf of the applicable Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor, and need not be attested.

Any Security or Guarantee bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper Officers of the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, shall bind the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Security or Guarantee or did not hold such offices at the date of such Security or Guarantee.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Securities of any series, together with the Guarantees of the Guarantors endorsed thereon, executed by the Issuer and such Guarantors to the Trustee for the Securities of such series for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and such Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions of the Issuer, as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, such Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel of the Issuer, as the case may be, stating:

(a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution of the Issuer as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution of the Issuer, as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

 

31


(c) that such Securities and the Guarantees endorsed thereon, when authenticated and delivered by such Trustee and issued by the Issuer and such Guarantors, as the case may be, in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer and such Guarantors, as the case may be, respectively, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and

(d) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Issuer of such Securities and by such Guarantors of their respective Guarantees have been complied with.

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if such Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect such Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to such Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if not all the Securities of any series are to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing prior to or at the time of issuance of each Security, but such documents shall be delivered prior to or at the time of issuance of the first Security of such series; provided, however, that the Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel covering the provisions set forth in Section 102 of the Indenture.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security or Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee for the Securities of such series by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and, together with Guarantees, if any, endorsed thereon, is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 304. Temporary Securities.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any particular series, the Issuer may execute, and upon delivery of the Company Order the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and having endorsed thereon Guarantees executed by the Guarantors of the tenor of the definitive Guarantees, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officer executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by his or her execution of such Securities.

 

32


If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and having endorsed thereon the Guarantees by the Guarantors. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee for the Securities of each series a register (the register maintained at such office and in any other office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee for the Securities of each series is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of each series shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, and having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors.

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, and having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors.

All Securities and the Guarantees endorsed thereon issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities and such Guarantees endorsed thereon, shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors, respectively evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and such Guarantees endorsed thereon surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee for the Securities of such series) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

33


No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

The Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

If the Issuer shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Issuer shall execute (along with the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors endorsed thereon) and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall, in accordance with Section 303 and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the U.S. Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such depositary, and (iii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “This Security (and the related Guarantees) may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary, unless and until this Security is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form” and such other legend as may be required by the U.S. Depositary.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, a Global Security (and the related Guarantees) representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the U.S. Depositary for such series to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor U.S. Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor depositary.

If at any time the U.S. Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as U.S. Depositary for the Securities of such series or if any time the U.S. Depositary for Securities of a series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered and in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Issuer shall appoint a successor U.S. Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor U.S. Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the Issuer will

 

34


execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities and having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors.

The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event, the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such Series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities and having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors.

If the Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of one or more Global Securities and if an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Issuer will promptly execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities and having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors.

If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Section 301 with respect to Securities of a series, the U.S. Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, without charge:

(i) to each Person specified by the U.S. Depositary a new registered Security or Securities of the same series, of an authorized denomination as requested by such Person in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security and having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors; and

(ii) to the U.S. Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof and having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors.

Upon the exchange of a Global Security in whole for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee for the Securities of such series. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the U.S. Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee for the Securities of such series. Such Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

 

35


The transferor of any Security shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.

Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee for the series of such Securities, the Issuer shall execute and such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors.

If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee for the series of such Securities (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or such Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee for the series of such Securities) connected therewith.

 

36


Every new Security of any series and the Guarantees endorsed thereon, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors, respectively, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee for the Securities of such series in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with such Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon such Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by such Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. Such Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

 

37


(2) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee for the Securities of such series of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by such Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee for such Security and any agent of the Issuer, such Guarantors or such Trustee may treat the person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Issuer, such Guarantors, such Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, such Guarantors or such Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee for such Security, or any agent of any of the foregoing, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.

SECTION 309. Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any person other than the Trustee for such Securities, be delivered to such Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer or the Guarantors may at any time deliver to such Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer or such Guarantors may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by such Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by such Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with such Trustee’s customary practices.

 

38


SECTION 310. Computation of Interest.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any particular series, interest, if any, on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 311. CUSIP Numbers.

The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee for such Securities shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of such Securities; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

40


(b) The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee of each series of Securities against any tax, fee, or other charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 401, 403 or 1006 or the interest and principal received in respect of such obligations other than any payable by or on behalf of Holders.

This provision shall not authorize the sale by such Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations held under this Indenture.

SECTION 403. Satisfaction, Discharge and Defeasance of Securities of any Series.

(d) the Issuer has delivered to such Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the U.S. to the effect that (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case, to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax law on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred and that no event of default or default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

 

42


(e) if the Issuer has deposited or caused to be deposited money or U.S. Government Obligations to pay or discharge the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the Outstanding Securities of a series to, but excluding, a Redemption Date on which all of the Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed, such Redemption Date shall be irrevocably designated by a Board Resolution of the Issuer delivered to such Trustee on or prior to the date of deposit of such money or U.S. Government Obligations, and such Board Resolution shall be accompanied by an irrevocable Company Request that such Trustee give notice of such redemption in the name and at the expense of the Issuer and not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to such Redemption Date in accordance with Section 1104.

(8) any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental indenture or provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer, under which such series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series.

SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee for the Securities of such series or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to such Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of such Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee for the Securities of such series as hereinafter in this Article Five provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Issuer and such Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(1) the Issuer has paid or deposited with such Trustee a sum sufficient to pay,

(A) all overdue interest, if any, on all Securities of that series,

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities, of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by such Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

 

45


(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of and accrued interest on Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities.

SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Issuer covenants that if:

(1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security of a series when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of a series at the Maturity thereof,

the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee for the Securities of such series, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, such Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee for the Securities of such series may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as such Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In any case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or any other obligor upon the Securities a series or the property of the Issuer, such Guarantors or such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee for the Securities of such series (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer or the Guarantors for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

Any corporation into which the Trustee for the Securities of any series may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of such Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Six, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for such series then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee or Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 614. Authenticating Agents.

From time to time the Trustee of any series of Securities, in its sole discretion, may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with respect to the Securities of such series, which may include the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or any Affiliate of the Issuer or the Guarantors, with power to act on the Trustee’s behalf and subject to its discretion in the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series or in connection with transfers and exchanges under Sections 304, 305, 306 and 1107 as fully to all intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections of this Indenture to authenticate and deliver Securities of such series. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series by an Authenticating Agent for such Securities pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Securities “by the Trustee” for the Securities of such series. Any such Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 and, if other than the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or any Affiliate of the Issuer or the Guarantors, subject to supervision or examination by federal, state or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation or to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

Any Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the Issuer. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent for such series by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, which shall be acceptable to the Issuer, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of such series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Issuer agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent for such series from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 614.

 

60


If an appointment with respect to one or more series of Securities is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Such Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 701 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

(b) If three or more Holders of any particular series (herein referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee for the Securities of such series, and furnish to such Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Securities of such series with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then such Trustee shall, within five business days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either:

(i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by such Trustee in accordance with Section 702(a); or

If any such Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, such Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of Securities of such series whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time by such Trustee in accordance with Section 702(a) a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to such Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender such Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of such Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interest of the Holders or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, such Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender, otherwise such Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

(c) Every Holder of Securities of each series, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee for the Securities of such series that none of the Issuer, the Guarantors or such Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with Section 702(b), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that such Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 702(b).

The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities for which it is the Issuer that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

Whenever the Issuer shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any, on) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee for the Securities of such series) the Issuer will promptly notify such Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee for the Securities of such series to execute and deliver to such Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with such Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(2) give such Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series; and

(3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of such Trustee, forthwith pay to such Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee for the Securities of any series all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by such Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to such Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the Securities of any series, or then held by the Issuer or the Guarantors, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer or the Guarantors on Company Request, or, if then held by the Issuer or the Guarantors, shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, for payment thereof, and all liability of such Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

SECTION 1004. Limitation on Liens.

(a) Trane Parent covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities, other than any series established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer of such series or in one or more supplemental indentures hereto which specifically provides otherwise, that Trane Parent will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed secured by a Mortgage (i) on any Principal Property of Trane Parent or of a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) on any shares or Funded Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (whether such Principal Property, shares or Funded Indebtedness are now owned or hereafter acquired) without, in any such case, effectively providing concurrently with the creation, assumption or guaranteeing of such indebtedness that the Securities (together, if Trane Parent shall so determine, with any other indebtedness then or thereafter existing, created, assumed or guaranteed by Trane Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary ranking equally with the Securities) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such indebtedness; excluding, however, from the foregoing any indebtedness secured by a Mortgage (including any extension, renewal or replacement, or successive extensions, renewals or replacements, of any Mortgage hereinafter specified or any indebtedness secured thereby, without increase of the principal of such indebtedness or expansion of the collateral securing such indebtedness):

(1) on property, shares or Funded Indebtedness of any Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary; or

(2) on property existing at the time of acquisition thereof by Trane Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof or construction or improvements thereon, which indebtedness is incurred by Trane Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary prior to, at the time of or within 360 days after the later of the acquisition, the completion of construction (including any improvements on an existing property) and the commencement of commercial operation of such property; provided, however, that in the case of any such acquisition, construction or improvement the Mortgage shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by Trane Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than, in the case of any such construction or improvement, any theretofore unimproved real property on which the property so constructed, or the improvement, is located; or

 

72


(3) on property, shares or Funded Indebtedness of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with Trane Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a Person as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to Trane Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary; or

(4) on property of a Restricted Subsidiary to secure indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to Trane Parent or another Restricted Subsidiary; or

(5) on property of Trane Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof or Luxembourg or the jurisdiction of organization of Trane Parent, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State thereof, Luxembourg or the jurisdiction of organization of Trane Parent, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such Mortgage; or

(6) existing at the date of this Indenture;

provided, however, that any Mortgage permitted by any of the foregoing clauses (1), (2), (3) and (5) of this Section 1004(a) shall not extend to or cover any property of Trane Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, other than the property specified in such clauses and improvements thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 1004, Trane Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary may create, assume or guarantee secured indebtedness for money borrowed which would otherwise be prohibited in said subsection (a) in an aggregate amount which, together with all other such indebtedness for money borrowed of Trane Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries and the Attributable Debt of Trane Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (as defined in Section 1005) existing at such time (other than Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into prior to the date of this Indenture and Sale and Leaseback Transactions the proceeds of which have been applied in accordance with clause (b) of Section 1005), does not at the time exceed 10% of the shareholders’ equity in Trane Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries, as shown on the audited consolidated balance sheet contained in the latest annual report to shareholders of Trane Parent.

(c) For the purposes of this Article Ten,

(1) the term “Attributable Debt” shall mean, as of any particular time, the lesser of (i) the fair value of the property subject to the applicable sale and leaseback transaction (as determined by the board of directors of Trane Parent) and (ii) the then present value (discounted at a rate equal to the weighted average of the rate of interest on all securities issued by the Issuer then issued and outstanding under this Indenture, compounded semi-annually) of the total net amount of rent required to be paid under such lease during the remaining term thereof (excluding any renewal term unless the renewal

 

73


is at the option of the lessor) or, if earlier, until the earliest date on which the lessee may terminate such lease upon payment of a penalty (in which case the obligation of the lessee for rental payments shall include such penalty). The net amount of rent required to be paid for any such period shall be the aggregate amount of the rent payable by the lessee with respect to such period after excluding amounts required to be paid on account of, or measured or determined by, any variable factor, including, without limitation, the cost-of-living index and costs of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates and similar charges and after excluding any portion of rentals based on a percentage of sales made by the lessee. In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall also include the amount of such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated;

(2) the term “shareholders’ equity in Trane Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries” shall mean the share capital, share premium, contributed surplus and retained earnings of Trane Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries, excluding the cost of shares of Trane Parent held by its Affiliates, all as determined in accordance with GAAP; and

(3) the term “Mortgage” on any specified property shall mean any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge or other security interest or encumbrance of any kind in respect of such property.

SECTION 1005. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

Trane Parent covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities, other than any series established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer of such series or in one or more supplemental indentures hereto which specifically provides otherwise, that Trane Parent will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any person for the leasing by Trane Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary (except for leases for a term of not more than three years and for leases of a part of a Principal Property which has been sold, for use in connection with the winding up or termination of the business conducted on such Principal Property, and except, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary, a lease to Trane Parent or another Restricted Subsidiary) of any Principal Property (whether now owned or hereafter acquired), which Principal Property has been or is intended to be sold or transferred by Trane Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary to such person (herein referred to as a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”), unless (a) Trane Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 1004, to incur indebtedness secured by a Mortgage on such Principal Property without equally and ratably securing the Securities, or (b) Trane Parent shall (and in any such case Trane Parent covenants that it will) apply within 360 days of the effective date of any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction an amount equal to the fair value (as determined by its Board of Directors) of such Principal Property so leased (i) to the retirement (other than by payment at maturity or to satisfy the mandatory requirements of any sinking, purchase or analogous fund or prepayment provision) of the Securities or other Funded Indebtedness of Trane Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary ranking on a parity with the Securities, provided, however, that the amount to be applied to the retirement of any Funded Indebtedness as provided under this clause (i) shall be reduced by (x) the principal

 

74


amount of any Securities delivered within 360 days after such sale or transfer to the Trustee for the Securities of such series for retirement and cancellation and (y) the principal amount of other Funded Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Securities voluntarily retired by Trane Parent within 360 days after such sale or transfer; or (ii) to the purchase, improvement or construction of properties which are Principal Properties, provided, that if only a portion of such proceeds is designated as a credit against such purchase, improvement or construction, Trane Parent shall apply an amount equal to the remainder as provided in clause (i); and promptly after the expiration of such 360-day period Trane Parent shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of such series an Officer’s Certificate setting forth in reasonable detail all material facts necessary to show compliance with this subsection.

SECTION 1006. Defeasance of Certain Obligations.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise of its option, if any, to have this Section 1006 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities issued by such Issuer, or if this Section 1006 shall otherwise apply to any Securities or any series of Securities issued by such Issuer, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 802, 1004 and 1005 (and each of the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of any other provision or condition specified pursuant to Section 301(14) for such Securities) with respect to the Securities of any series whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant, to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 501(4) or otherwise, as the case may be; provided that the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

(1) The Issuer has deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited (except as provided in Section 402(c) and the last paragraph of Section 1003) with the Trustee for the Securities of such series (specifying that each deposit is pursuant to this Section 1006) as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) (except as provided in a supplemental indenture with respect to such series) if Securities of such series are not subject to repurchase at the option of such Holders, (A) U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than one day before the due date of any payment referred to in clause (x) or (y) of this subparagraph (1) money in an amount, or (B) a combination of the foregoing, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to such Trustee, to pay and discharge (x) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and each installment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the Outstanding Securities of such series on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest or to, but excluding, the Redemption Date irrevocably designated by the Issuer pursuant to subparagraph (4) of this Section and (y) any mandatory sinking fund payments applicable to the Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and of the Securities of such series;

(4) If the Issuer has deposited or caused to be deposited money or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof (if U.S. Government Obligations, as certified in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants) to pay or discharge the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the Outstanding Securities of a series to, but excluding, a Redemption Date on which all of the Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed, such Redemption Date shall be irrevocably designated by a Board Resolution of the Issuer or delivered to such Trustee on or prior to the date of deposit of such money or U.S. Government Obligations, and such Board Resolution shall be accompanied by an irrevocable Company Request that such Trustee give notice of such redemption in the name and at the expense of the Issuer and not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to such Redemption Date in accordance with Section 1104.

SECTION 1007. Statement by Officer as to Default.

Trane Parent will deliver to the Trustee for each series of Securities, on or before May 15 in each year ending after the date hereof, an Officer’s Certificate (one of the signatories of which shall be the principal executive officer, principal accounting officer or principal financial officer of Trane Parent) stating that in the course of the performance by such signer of his or her duties as an officer of Trane Parent, he would normally have knowledge of any default (without regard to periods of grace or notice requirements) by the Issuer or the Guarantors in the performance and observance of any of their respective covenants contained in this Indenture, and stating whether or not he has knowledge of any such default and, if so, specifying each such default of which such signer has knowledge and the nature thereof.

Trane Parent covenants to deliver to the Trustee, for each series of Securities, as soon as possible and in any event within five Business Days after Trane Parent becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which Trane Parent, the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, propose to take with respect thereto.

 

76

Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 802, 1004 and 1005 (and each of the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition specified pursuant to Section 301(14) for such Securities) if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such omission (voting as one class) shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors, as the case may be, and the duties of the Trustee for the Securities of each series in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 1009. Calculation of Original Issue Discount.

The Issuer shall file with the Trustee for the Original Issue Discount Securities of each series promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on the Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

SECTION 1101. Applicability of Article.

SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

The election of the Issuer to redeem any Securities of any series shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate. In case of any redemption at the election of the Issuer of the Securities of any series, the Issuer shall, at least five Business Days prior to the date notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent pursuant to Section 1104 (unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the Securities of such series), notify such Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed, such notice to be accompanied by a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Issuer stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to the Securities of that series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured). In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish the Trustee for the Securities of such series with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

 

77


SECTION 1103. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed.

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the Securities of that series to be redeemed shall be selected by lot, on a pro rata basis or by any other method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate (or, in the case of Global Securities, based on the method required by the U.S. Depositary or, if it is not so required, a method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate), unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements, not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the U.S. Depositary or the Trustee, as applicable, for the Securities of such series, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption.

Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of such series at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Issuer or the Guarantors or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement that is an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Guarantors.

The Trustee for the Securities of such series shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption.

Notice of redemption shall be given by electronic delivery or first-class mail, postage prepaid, delivered or mailed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his or her address appearing in the Security Register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the U.S. Depositary.

All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities (including CUSIP numbers) to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date;

(2) the Redemption Price;

(3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

(4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date;

 

78


(5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

(6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case; and

(7) any conditions precedent for the redemption or notice of redemption.

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s written request and expense, by the Trustee for such Securities in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent.

SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

By no later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee for the Securities to be redeemed or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date (to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit at such time in accordance with the provisions of Section 401, 403 or 1006).

SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee for such Security so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and such Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series, and having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

 

79


ARTICLE TWELVE

SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article.

The provisions of this Article Twelve shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.

SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Issuer may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee for such Securities, Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Issuer or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Issuer and delivered to such Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 309, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Issuer through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by such Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee for the Securities of such series an Officer’s Certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 102) stating that no defaults in the payment of interest, if any, with respect to Securities of that series and no Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series have occurred (which in either case have not been waived or cured) and (a) specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, (b) whether or not the Issuer intends to exercise its right, if any, to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series on the next ensuing sinking fund payment date and, if so, the amount of such optional sinking fund payment, and (c) the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202, and will also deliver to such Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Such

 

80


written statement shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by such Trustee the Issuer shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Issuer, on or before any such 60th day, to deliver such written statement and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Issuer (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect therefor and (ii) that the Issuer will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Securities of such series to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date shall be redeemed in the manner specified in Section 1103 and the Trustee shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1105, 1106 and 1107.

The Trustee for any series of Securities shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Security of such series with sinking fund moneys or deliver or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest with respect to Securities of that series or an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series except that, where the delivery or mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, such Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities; provided, that it shall have received from the Issuer a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default, shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article Five and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 513 or the default or Event of Default cured on or before the 60th day preceding the sinking fund payment date, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such Securities.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

GUARANTEE

SECTION 1301. Guarantee.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article Thirteen and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security of each series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee for such Securities hereunder and to such Trustee for itself and on behalf of each such Holder, the due and punctual payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Securities when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and all other amounts owed under this Indenture, according to the terms thereof and of this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Issuer promptly to make any such

 

81


payment of principal (and premium, if any, on) or interest, the Guarantors hereby agree to make any such payment to be made promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Issuer.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be as if they were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee for the Securities of such series or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantors increase the principal amount of such Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof, or increase the principal amount of any Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration or the maturity thereof pursuant to Article Five of this Indenture. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby or with respect to any sinking fund or analogous payment required under such Security and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that the Guarantee of such Guarantor will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Security or as otherwise set forth in this Indenture; provided, that if any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(c) The Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security and the Trustee for the Securities of such series against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantors pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantors shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on all Securities of the same series issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full.

No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture relating to the Guarantors or consent to any departure by a Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective unless it is signed by such Guarantor and the Trustee for the Securities of such series.

SECTION 1306. Limitation on Liability.

With respect to each Guarantor, the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount, as will not result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, after giving effect to all other relevant liabilities of such Guarantor.

Dear Sirs,

Introduction

3

Assumptions

We have assumed the following:

 

3.1

the genuineness of all signatures, stamps and seals of the persons purported to have signed the relevant documents and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies;

 

3.2

all factual matters and statements relied upon or assumed in this Opinion are and were true and complete on the date of execution of the Registration Statement (and any documents in connection therewith);

 

3.3

the Articles, the Board Resolutions and the Secretary Certificate are in full force and effect, have not been amended, rescinded, revoked or declared null and void;

 

3.4

the information contained in the Secretary Certificate, the Excerpt and the RCS Certificate is true and accurate at the date of this Opinion;

 

3.5

the due compliance with all requirements (including, without limitation, the obtaining of the necessary consents, licences, approvals and authorisations, the making of the necessary filings, registrations and notifications and the payment of stamp duties and other taxes) under any laws (other than Luxembourg law) in connection with the valid issuance of the Debt Securities and the Guarantees (and any documents in connection therewith); and

 

3.6

there are no provisions in the laws of any jurisdiction outside Luxembourg, which would adversely affect, or otherwise have any negative impact on this Opinion.

 

4

Opinion

Based upon the assumptions made above and subject to the qualifications set out below and any factual matter not disclosed to us, we are of the following opinion:

 

4.1

the Company is a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée), incorporated and validly existing under Luxembourg law for an unlimited duration.

 

2/4


4.2

The Company has the corporate power to issue the Debt Securities and the Guarantees and to perform the obligations expressed to be assumed by it thereunder as set out in the Registration Statement and, when the Debt Securities and/or the Guarantees are issued pursuant to duly adopted resolutions of the board of managers of the Company, and in accordance with duly authorised and executed and legally valid, binding and enforceable documentation, the Debt Securities and/or the Guarantees, as applicable, shall be validly issued.

 

5

Qualifications

This Opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

 

5.1

Our Opinion is subject to all limitations resulting from the application of Luxembourg public policy rules, overriding statutes and mandatory laws as well as to all limitations by reasons of bankruptcy (faillite), composition with creditors (concordat), suspension of payments (sursis de paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée), or the appointment of a temporary administrator (administrateur provisoire) and any similar Luxembourg or foreign proceedings affecting the rights of creditors generally (Insolvency Proceedings).

 

5.2

Our opinion that the Company validly exists is based on the Articles, the Excerpt and the RCS Certificate (which confirms in particular that no judicial decisions in respect of bankruptcy (faillite), composition with creditors (concordat), suspension of payments (sursis de paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée), or the appointment of a temporary administrator (administrateur provisoire) pertaining to the Company has been registered with the RCS). The Articles, the Excerpt and the RCS Certificate are, however, not capable of revealing conclusively whether or not the Company is subject to any Insolvency Proceedings.

 

6

Miscellaneous

 

6.1

This Opinion is as of this date and is given on the basis of Luxembourg laws in effect and as published, construed and applied by Luxembourg courts, as of such date.

We express no opinion, nor do we imply any opinion, as to any laws other than Luxembourg laws.

 

6.2

This Opinion is strictly limited to the Registration Statement and the matters expressly set forth therein. No other opinion is, or may be, implied or inferred therefrom.

 

6.3

This Opinion is given on the express condition, accepted by each person entitled to rely on it, that this Opinion and all rights, obligations, issues of interpretation and liabilities in relation to it are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, Luxembourg law and any action or claim in relation to it can be brought exclusively before the Luxembourg courts.

6.6

Notwithstanding the above, we consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and we further consent to the use of our name under the captions “Service of Process and Enforcement of Liabilities” and “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement and the prospectus that forms a part thereof. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in a category of person whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.

 

6.7

Notwithstanding the above, this Opinion may be disclosed to rating agencies, insofar as they wish to know that an opinion has been given and to be made aware of its terms, provided that they may not rely on this Opinion for their own benefit or that of any other person.
