Aston Martin Capital Holdings Limited
$400,000,000 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2022
£230,000,000 5.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2022
Aston Martin Capital Holdings Limited (the "Issuer"), a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Jersey, is offering
$400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.5% senior secured notes due 2022 (the "Dollar Notes") and £230,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% senior secured notes due 2022 (the "Sterling Notes" and, together with the Dollar
Notes, the "Notes").
The Dollar Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum and will mature on April 15, 2022. The Sterling Notes will bear
interest at a rate of 5.75% per annum and will mature on April 15, 2022. Interest on the Notes will accrue from April 18, 2017,
and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 2017. Prior to April
15, 2019, the Issuer will be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes by paying an applicable "make whole"
premium. On or after April 15, 2019, the Issuer will be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes, at any time
or from time to time, at the applicable redemption prices set forth in this offering memorandum (the "Offering
Memorandum"). In addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2019, the Issuer may redeem at its option up to 40% of each series of
the Notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.5% of the principal
amount of the Dollar Notes and 105.75% of the principal amount of the Sterling Notes, redeemed plus accrued and unpaid
interest; provided that at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Notes and/or the Sterling Notes, as
applicable, remains outstanding after the redemption. Prior to April 15, 2019, the Issuer may redeem during each twelve-month
period commencing with the Issue Date up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued (including
the aggregate principal amount of any additional Notes) at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.
The Notes may be redeemed at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of
certain changes in applicable tax law. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, the Issuer may be required to offer
to redeem the Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption.
The Notes will be senior secured obligations of the Issuer and will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future
indebtedness of the Issuer that is not subordinated 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 expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes will be
guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Aston Martin Investments Limited ("AM Investments") and certain of its direct and
indirect subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"). The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each Guarantor (each, a
"Guarantee" and, collectively, the "Guarantees") and will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future
indebtedness of such Guarantor that is not subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee and will be senior in right of
payment to all existing and future indebtedness of such Guarantor that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to such
Guarantee. The Notes and the Guarantees will be secured by liens on certain assets that also secure our obligations under the
New Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) and certain hedging obligations (if any). Subject to the Agreed Security
Principles (as defined herein), the New Revolving Credit Facility and certain hedging obligations will be secured on a "super
priority" basis and will receive proceeds from the enforcement of the Collateral (as defined herein) ahead of the Notes.
There is currently no public market for the Notes. Application will be made to The Channel Islands Securities Exchange Authority
Limited for the listing of and permission to deal in the Notes on the Official List of the Channel Islands Securities Exchange
Authority Limited.

The Notes and the Guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the
"U.S. Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction. The Notes may be
offered only in transactions that are exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any other
jurisdiction. Accordingly, we are offering the Notes only to "qualified institutional buyers" in reliance on Rule 144A of the U.S.
Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. For
further details about eligible offerees and resale restrictions, see "Transfer Restrictions".
