views about our future performance that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform

identified through the inclusion of words such as "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "drive," "estimate," "expect," "expressed confidence," "forecast,"
"future," "goal," "guidance," "intend," "may," "objective," "outlook," "plan," "position," "potential," "project," "seek," "should," "strategy,"
"target," "will" or similar statements or variations of such words and other similar expressions. All statements addressing our future operating
performance, and statements addressing events and developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available information, operating plans
and projections about future events and trends. They inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those predicted in any such forward-looking statement. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in "Risk
Factors" and "Our Business Risks" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019, and in any subsequent annual

update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The discussion of risks included or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement is by no means all-inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe are important

call date for such series, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest

Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such
redemption date.
"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date for any series of notes, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent
yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.
Notice of any redemption will be transmitted at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the series
of notes to be redeemed. If fewer than all of a series of notes are to be redeemed, the particular notes of such series to be redeemed, in the case of
global notes, shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC. In the case of physical notes in definitive form such selection shall be
done by the trustee by lot. If any note is to be redeemed only in part, the notice of redemption that relates to such note shall state the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the note
surrendered may be issued in the name of the holder of the note upon surrender of the original note.
Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the notes of a series or
portions thereof called for redemption.
The trustee will not be responsible for calculating the redemption price of the notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Book-Entry System
The notes of each series will be issued in fully registered form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company
("DTC"). One or more fully registered certificates will be issued as global notes in the aggregate principal amount of the notes of each series. Such
global notes will be deposited with or on behalf of DTC and may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a
nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or by DTC or any nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of such successor.
So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a global note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole
owner or holder of the notes represented by such global note for all purposes under the indenture. Except as set forth in the accompanying
prospectus, owners of beneficial interests in a global note will not be entitled to have the notes represented by such global note registered in their
names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders
thereof under the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a global note must rely on the procedures of DTC for such
global note and, if such person is not a participant in DTC (as described below), on the procedures of the participant through which such person
owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture.
Owners of beneficial interests in a global note may elect to hold their interests in such global note either in the United States through DTC or
outside the United States through Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream") or Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V., or its successor, as
operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear"), if they are a participant of such system, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in
such systems. Interests held through Clearstream and Euroclear will be recorded on DTC's books as being held by the U.S. depositary for each of
Clearstream and Euroclear, which U.S. depositaries will in turn hold interests on behalf of their participants' customers' securities accounts.
Citibank, N.A. will act as depositary for Clearstream and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will act as depositary for Euroclear (in such capacities, the
"U.S. Depositaries").
As long as the notes of a series are represented by the global notes, we will pay principal of and interest on those notes to or as directed by
DTC as the registered holder of the global notes. Payments

to DTC will be in immediately available funds by wire transfer. DTC will credit the relevant accounts of their participants on the applicable date.
Neither we nor the trustee will be responsible for making any payments to participants or customers of participants or for maintaining any records
relating to the holdings of participants and their customers, and each person owning a beneficial interest will have to rely on the procedures of the
depositary and its participants.
We have been advised by DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear, respectively, as follows:
DTC
DTC has advised us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within

the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New
York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). DTC holds securities deposited with it by its participants and facilitates the settlement of transactions
among its participants in such securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating
the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC's participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC. Access to DTC's book-entry system
is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a
participant, either directly or indirectly. According to DTC, the foregoing information with respect to DTC has been provided to the financial
community for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as a representation, warranty or contract modification of any kind.
Clearstream
Clearstream advises that it is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its
participating organizations ("Clearstream Participants") and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream
Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of

include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear
through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant, either directly or indirectly.
Distributions with respect to interests in the notes held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream
Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by the U.S. Depositary for Clearstream.
Euroclear
Euroclear advises that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear ("Euroclear Participants") and to clear and settle
transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for
physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear includes various other services,
including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with

domestic markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (the "Euroclear Operator"). All operations are conducted
by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator.
Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and
may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship
with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.
The Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, or the Euroclear Terms

terms and conditions govern:
·

holding securities through Euroclear Participants.

Settlement
Investors in the notes of each series will be required to make their initial payment for the notes of such series in immediately available funds.
Secondary market trading between DTC participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in
immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between Clearstream Participants and/or Euroclear Participants will occur in the ordinary
way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear and will be settled using the procedures
applicable to conventional eurobonds in immediately available funds.
Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through
Clearstream Participants or Euroclear Participants, on the other, will be effected in DTC in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant
European international clearing system by the U.S. depositary for such clearing system; however, such cross-market transactions will require
delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and
procedures and within its established deadlines (based on European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the
transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to the U.S. Depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by
delivering or receiving notes in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement
applicable to DTC. Clearstream Participants and Euroclear Participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. Depositaries.
Because of time-zone differences, credits of notes received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC participant will
be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits or any
transactions in such notes settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream Participants or Euroclear Participants on such
business day. Cash received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of
S-9
Table of Contents
sales of notes by or through a Clearstream Participant or a Euroclear Participant to a DTC participant will be received with value on the DTC
settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in
DTC.
Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of notes among participants
of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be
discontinued at any time. See "Forms of Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.
The information in this section concerning DTC, Clearstream, Euroclear and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that
we believe to be reliable (including DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear), but we take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
Neither we, the trustee nor the underwriters will have any responsibility or obligation to participants, or the persons for whom they act as
nominees, with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC, its nominee or any participant with respect to any ownership interest in the notes or
payments to, or the providing of notice to participants or beneficial owners.
For other terms of the notes, see "Description of Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.
