CMA CGM S.A. ("we," "us," the "Company" or the "Issuer") are offering 525,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 7.500%
Senior Notes due 2026 (the "notes"). Interest on the notes is payable on January 15 and July 15, beginning on July 15, 2021.
The notes will mature on January 15, 2026. Prior to January 15, 2023, we may redeem all or part of the notes by paying a "make-
whole premium." We may redeem all or part of the notes at any time on or after January 15, 2023 at the redemption prices described
under the caption "Description of Notes--Optional Redemption of Notes." In addition, until January 15, 2023, we may redeem up to
40% of the notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price as described under the caption "Description of
Notes--Optional Redemption of Notes." We may also redeem the notes upon the occurrence of certain changes in applicable tax law.
Upon the occurrence of certain events constituting a change of control, we may be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes.
The notes will be our unsecured senior obligations and will rank pari passu in right of payment to all our existing and future senior
indebtedness. The notes will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all our existing and future secured indebtedness to the
extent of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future indebtedness of all our
subsidiaries.
We have applied to list the notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for admission to trading on the
Professional Segment of the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. These listing particulars ("listing
particulars") constitute a prospectus for the purpose of Part IV of the Luxembourg law on prospectuses for securities dated
July 16, 2019.
These listing particulars include information on the terms of the notes, including redemption prices, covenants and transfer
restrictions.
Investing in the notes involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 29.
The notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In
the United States, the offering is being made only to qualified institutional buyers ("QIBs") in reliance on Rule 144A ("Rule
144A") under the Securities Act. Prospective purchasers that are QIBs are hereby notified that the sellers of the notes may be
relying on an exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. Outside the United States,
the offering is being made in reliance on Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the Securities Act. See "Notice to Investors" and
"Plan of Distribution" for additional information about eligible offerees and restrictions on transfers of the notes.
Price: 97.848%, plus accrued interest, if any, from the issue date.
We expect that the notes will be delivered in book-entry form through the Euroclear System SA/NV ("Euroclear")
and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream") on or about October 21, 2020.
