Senior Notes

On June 30, 2020, Arch Capital completed a public offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.635% senior notes with a scheduled maturity of June 30, 2050 (the “2050 notes”). The 2050 notes are Arch Capital’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of its existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. Interest payments on the 2050 notes are due semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30, beginning on December 30, 2020, to holders of record on the preceding June 15 or December 15, as the case may be. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Subject to conditions of redemption, Arch Capital may redeem the 2050 notes at any time and from time to time prior to December 30, 2049, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the “make-whole” redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. Arch Capital is planning to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
