NOT FOR GENERAL CIRCULATION
IN THE UNITED STATES
Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc
$500,000,000 4.500% Senior Notes due 2027
Guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Jaguar Land Rover Limited
and Jaguar Land Rover Holdings Limited
The 4.500% Senior Notes due 2027 were issued in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 (the "Notes"). The Notes
will bear interest at the rate of 4.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on 1 April and 1 October of each year, beginning on 1
April 2018. The Notes will mature on 1 October 2027. Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc (the "Issuer") may redeem the Notes, in whole
or in part, at any time at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date,
plus the "make-whole" premium set forth in this offering memorandum. In addition, the Issuer may redeem all of the Notes at a price equal
to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon the occurrence of certain changes in applicable tax law. There is no
sinking fund for the Notes. In the event of a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined herein), the Issuer must make an offer to
purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
purchase.
The Notes will be the Issuer's senior obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future
indebtedness of the Issuer that is not subordinated (and is not senior) in right of payment to the Notes and will be senior in right of payment
to all existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes will be fully and
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Jaguar Land Rover Limited and Jaguar Land Rover Holdings Limited (the
"Guarantors"). The guarantees of the Notes by each of the Guarantors (the "Note Guarantees") will rank equally in right of payment with
all of the existing and future indebtedness of such Guarantor that is not subordinated in right of payment to the Note Guarantees, and senior
in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of such Guarantor that is subordinated in right of payment to the Note
Guarantees. The Notes and the Note Guarantees will also be effectively subordinated to all of the Issuer's and each of the Guarantors'
existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt and to all existing and future debt of all the
Issuer's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.
Application has been made to admit the Notes to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trading on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Euro MTF market (the "Euro MTF Market"). The Euro MTF Market is not a regulated market pursuant to
the provisions of Directive 2004/39/EC. This Offering Memorandum constitutes a prospectus for purposes of Part IV of the Luxembourg
law on prospectuses for securities dated July 10, 2005, as amended.
Investing in the Notes involves risks. Please see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 21.
The Notes and the Note Guarantees have not been registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "US
Securities Act"), or any state securities laws. Accordingly, the Notes and the Note Guarantees are being offered and sold only to qualified
institutional buyers ("QIBs") in accordance with Rule 144A under the US Securities Act ("Rule 144A") and to persons outside the United
States that are not, and are not acting for the account or benefit of, "U.S. persons" (as defined in Regulation S under the US Securities Act
("Regulation S")) in offshore transactions in accordance with Regulation S. Prospective purchasers that are QIBs are hereby notified that
the seller of the Notes may be relying on the exemption from the registration requirements under the US Securities Act provided by Rule
144A.
Issue Price: 100.000% plus accrued interest, if any, from 10 October 2017
The Notes were issued in the form of global notes in registered form. Please see "Book-entry; Delivery and Form".
