principal amount of its 15/8% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") and 1,050 million in aggregate principal amount of its 21/8% Senior Notes due 2029 (the
"2029 Notes" and, together with the 2026 Notes, the "Notes") as part of the financing in the context of the proposed mergers of the Issuer with (i) Nets Topco 2
S.à r.l., a société à responsabilité limitée incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg, and its subsidiaries ("Nets"), with the Issuer being the surviving entity (the
"Nets Merger") and (ii) SIA S.p.A., a società per azioni incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy, and its subsidiaries ("SIA"), with the Issuer being
the surviving entity (the "SIA Merger" and together with the Nets Merger, the "Mergers"). The proceeds of the Notes will be used, together with the proceeds of
the 2028 Existing Senior Convertible Notes (as defined herein), to refinance the Existing Nets Indebtedness (as defined herein) upon completion of the Nets
Merger, to refinance the Existing SIA Indebtedness (as defined herein) upon completion of the SIA Merger, and to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith.
Although the Issuer intends to use the proceeds of the Notes in connection with the Mergers, the Issuer may elect as of the Release Date (as defined herein) to use
a portion of the proceeds from the Offering for any general corporate purpose (including to repay its existing indebtedness). See "Use of Proceeds."
The 2026 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.625% per annum and will mature on April 30, 2026. The Issuer will pay interest on the 2026 Notes semi-annually
in arrears on April 30 and October 30 of each year, commencing on October 29, 2021. The Issuer will be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the
2026 Notes (i) at any time prior to January 30, 2026, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the applicable "make whole"
premium as set forth in this offering memorandum and (ii) thereafter at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus in each case
accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the date of redemption.
The 2029 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.125% per annum and will mature on April 30, 2029. The Issuer will pay interest on the 2029 Notes semi-annually
in arrears on April 30 and October 30 of each year, commencing on October 29, 2021. The Issuer will be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the

premium as set forth in this offering memorandum and (ii) thereafter at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus in each case
accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the date of redemption.

101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any. In the event of certain developments affecting taxation, the
Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time, at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
additional amounts, if any.
The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Issuer's existing and future senior unsecured
obligations that are not subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, including obligations under the Facilities Agreements and the Existing Notes (as defined
herein). The Notes will rank senior in right of payment to all of the Issuer's future obligations that are expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, if
any. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured obligations of the Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer to the extent of the
value of the property and assets securing such obligations, and will be structurally subordinated to all obligations of the Issuer's Subsidiaries that do not guarantee
the Notes, including guarantees of the Facilities Agreements by certain Subsidiaries of the Issuer and, following the Nets Merger Closing Date, the Nets Notes (as
defined herein). The Notes will not be guaranteed.
Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes on the Issue Date (as defined herein), the Initial Purchasers (as defined herein) will deposit the gross proceeds from
the Offering into a euro-denominated, segregated bank account in the name of the Issuer (the "Segregated Account"), pending consummation of the first to occur
of the Nets Merger or the SIA Merger. All of the proceeds may be released from the Segregated Account to the Issuer upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date that
is two business days before the expected occurrence of the Nets Merger Closing Date or (ii) the date that is two business days before the expected occurrence of
the SIA Merger Closing Date (the date on which the proceeds may be released from the Segregated Account being referred to as the "Release Date"). On the
Release Date, the Issuer may retain such proceeds for use in the other Merger and/or for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing indebtedness
of the Issuer. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Capitalization." In the event that, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer, neither Merger will be consummated on or
prior to July 14, 2022 (the "Longstop Date"), or upon the occurrence of certain other events described herein, the Issuer will be required to redeem all the Notes
(the "Special Mandatory Redemption") at a price equal to 100% of the issue price of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if
any, on the Notes to, but excluding, such redemption date. See "Description of the Notes--Deposit into Segregated Bank Account; Special Mandatory
Redemption."

NOTICE TO INVESTORS

securities laws of any other jurisdictions. The Notes may only be offered and sold to non-U.S. persons
outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S. In making your purchase, you will be deemed to

European Economic Area
Professional Investors and ECPs Only Target Market
Solely for the purposes of the product approval process of the manufacturers, the target market
assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is
eligible counterparties ("ECPs") and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU
(as amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties
and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending
the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment;
however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor
iv

means a person who is one (or more) of (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of
MiFID II, (ii) a customer within the meaning of the Insurance Distribution Directive where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II,
or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key
information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling
the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under
the PRIIPs Regulation.
United Kingdom
This offering memorandum has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the Notes in the UK will
be made pursuant to an exemption under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law
by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK Prospectus Regulation") from a requirement to publish a prospectus
for offers of Notes. This offering memorandum is not a prospectus for the purpose of the UK Prospectus
Regulation.
UK MiFIR product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment
in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is only eligible
counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS"), and
professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by
virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("UK MiFIR"); and (ii) all channels for
distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA
Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product
Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the
Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (the "UK"). For these
purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point
(8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the
provisions of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive
(EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of
Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms
part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the
Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and, therefore,
offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may
be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
Italy
No action has been or will be taken which could allow an offering to the public in the Republic of Italy
within the meaning of Article 1, paragraph 1, letter t) of Legislative Decree No. 58 of February 24,
1998, as subsequently integrated and amended (the "Italian Financial Act") and, in particular, the
Offering has not been submitted for clearance by the Commissione Nazionale per la Società e la Borsa
("CONSOB") (the Italian securities exchange commission), pursuant to Italian securities legislation and
will not be subject to review or clearance by CONSOB. Accordingly, the Notes may not be offered,
v

sold or delivered directly or indirectly in the Republic of Italy, either on the primary or on the secondary
market, and neither this offering memorandum nor any other offering material or other documentation
relating to the Notes may be issued, distributed or published in the Republic of Italy, except: (a) to
qualified investors (investitori qualificati) as defined pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EU)
2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation"); or (b) in any other circumstances which are exempted from
the rules on public offerings pursuant to Article 1 of the Prospectus Regulation, art. 34-ter of CONSOB
Regulation No. 11971 of May 14, 1999, as amended (the "Issuers Regulation") and any other applicable
Italian laws and regulations.
Any such offer, sale or delivery of the Notes or distribution of copies of this offering memorandum or
any other document or material relating to the Notes in the Republic of Italy must be made in compliance
with the selling restrictions above and must be made as follows: (a) by investment firms, banks or
financial intermediaries permitted to conduct such activities in the Republic of Italy in accordance, as
applicable, with Legislative Decree No 385 of September 1, 1993, as subsequently integrated and
amended (the "Consolidated Banking Act"), the Italian Financial Act, CONSOB Regulation No. 20307
of 15 February 2018, as subsequently integrated and amended ("Regulation No. 20307") and any other
applicable laws and regulations; and (b) in compliance with all relevant Italian securities, tax and
exchange control and other applicable laws and regulations and any other applicable requirements or
limitations which may be imposed from time to time by CONSOB, the Bank of Italy (including, the
reporting requirements, where applicable, pursuant to Article 129 of the Consolidated Banking Act and
the implementing guidelines of the Bank of Italy, as amended from time to time) and/or any other
competent Italian authority. For a further description of certain restrictions on offers and sales of the
Notes and the distribution of this offering memorandum in the Republic of Italy, see "Transfer

These risks and others described under "Risk Factors" are not exhaustive. Other sections of this offering

operations and liquidity. New risks can emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict
all such risks, nor can we assess the impact of all such risks on our business or the extent to which any
risks, or combination of risks and other factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statements.
Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction
of actual results.
Any forward-looking statements are only made as at the date of this offering memorandum, and we do
not intend, and do not assume any obligation, to update forward-looking statements set out in this
offering memorandum. You should interpret all subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements
attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf as being qualified by the cautionary statements in
this offering memorandum. As a result, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements.
