The Notes will not have an established trading market when issued. The Underwriters may from time to time make a market in the Notes but are not obligated to do so and may cease at any time. Neither we nor the Underwriters can assure you that any trading market for the Notes will be liquid.

 

The Notes sold by the Underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the applicable public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. Any Notes sold by the Underwriters to dealers may be sold at the applicable public offering prices less a concession not to exceed 0.100% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes and 0.100% of the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes. The Underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to exceed 0.050% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes and 0.050% of the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes on sales to other dealers. After the initial offering of the Notes to the public, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., on behalf of the Underwriters, may change the public offering prices and concessions of the Notes. The offering of the Notes by the Underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the Underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.

 

In connection with the offering, CastleOak Securities, L.P., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Lebenthal & Co., LLC, Mischler Financial Group, Inc., Samuel A. Ramirez & Company, Inc. and The Williams Capital Group, L.P. on behalf of the Underwriters, are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the prices of the Notes. These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the prices of the Notes. If the Underwriters create a short position in the Notes in connection with the offering by selling more Notes than they have purchased from us, then the Underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing Notes in the open market. In general, purchases of Notes for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the prices of the Notes to be higher than in the absence of these purchases. The Underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. Neither we nor the Underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the prices of the Notes.

 

We may enter into hedging transactions in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including forwards, futures, options, interest rate or exchange rate swaps and repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions with, or arranged by, any of the Underwriters or an affiliate of that Underwriter. The applicable Underwriter and its affiliates may receive compensation, trading gain or other benefits in connection with these hedging transactions and the hedging transactions described below.

 

PS-4
 
 

Each of the Underwriters has severally agreed that it will not offer or sell any of the Notes, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan (which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan and any branch or other office in Japan of a corporation or other entity organized under the laws of any foreign state), or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, a resident of Japan.

 

The Underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities.  Certain of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, commercial banking and other services for the issuer in the ordinary course of business, for which they received or will receive in the future customary fees and commissions.

 

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the Underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. Certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us or our affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those Underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us and our affiliates consistent with their customary risk management policies. A typical hedging strategy would include these Underwriters or their affiliates hedging such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities or those of our affiliates, including potentially the Notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect the future trading prices of the Notes offered hereby. The Underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the several agents against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of these liabilities. We have also agreed to reimburse each of the Underwriters for certain expenses.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAXATION

 

As discussed in the section of the accompanying Prospectus Supplement entitled “United States Federal Taxation,” withholding under legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” (if applicable) will generally apply to amounts treated as interest paid with respect to the Notes. However, pursuant to an Internal Revenue Service notice, withholding under “FATCA” will not apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than any amount treated as interest) with respect to dispositions of the Notes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of “FATCA” to the Notes. 

 

For other U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the Notes, please see the section of the prospectus supplement entitled “United States Federal Taxation.”

VALIDITY OF THE NOTES

 

Love and Long, LLP will pass upon the validity of the Notes for TMCC. O’Melveny & Myers LLP will pass upon the validity of the Notes and is acting as counsel for the Underwriters.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

In the opinion of the General Counsel of TMCC, when the Notes offered by this pricing supplement and related prospectus have been executed and issued by TMCC and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of August 1, 1991, between TMCC and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (“BONY”), as trustee, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1991, among TMCC, BONY and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”), formerly known as Bankers Trust Company, as trustee, the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 31, 2004, among TMCC, BONY and DBTCA, and the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 8, 2011, among TMCC, BONY and DBTCA (collectively, and as the same may be further amended, restated or supplemented, the “Indenture”), and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such Notes will be legally valid and binding obligations of TMCC, enforceable against TMCC in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws), and by general principles of equity including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the present laws of the State of California and the State of New York. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and its authentication of the Notes and the enforceability of the Indenture with respect to the trustee and other matters, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated February 25, 2015 and filed as Exhibit 5.1 to TMCC’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-202281) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2015.
