ARTICLE I 

Definitions and Other Provisions of General Application 

SECTION 1.01.    Definitions. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Supplemental Indenture, all terms used in this Supplemental Indenture which are defined in the

The Article and Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 

SECTION 1.03.    Separability Clause. 

In case any provision in this Supplemental Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of

 ARTICLE II 

7.750% Notes due 2032 

SECTION 2.01.    Creation of Series. 

There is hereby established a new series of Notes under the Base Indenture entitled “7.750% Notes due 2032” (the “2032
Notes”). The form of the 2032 Notes, including the form of the certificate of authentication, is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

The Company shall issue the 2032 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000. The Company may from time to time, without the
consent of the Holders of the 2032 Notes, “reopen” the series of 2032 Notes and create and issue additional Notes having substantially identical terms and conditions as the 2032 Notes (or in all respects except as to issue price,
denomination, rate of interest, maturity date and the date from which interest, if any, shall accrue, and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture relating thereto) so that the
additional Notes are consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding 2032 Notes. 
 The 2032 Notes initially shall be represented
by one or more 2032 Notes of the same series in registered, global form without interest coupons. The global notes representing the 2032 

  
 2 













 
Notes (collectively, the “2032 Global Notes”) initially shall be (i) registered in the name of the Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) or the
nominee of such Depositary, in each case for credit to an account of a member of, or direct or indirect participant in, the Depositary; and (ii) delivered to Citibank, N.A. as custodian for such Depositary. 

(a)    The maturity date of the principal of the 2032 Notes shall be October 19, 2032 (the “Maturity
Date”). 
 (b)    The outstanding principal amount of the 2032 Notes shall accrue interest at a rate equal to
7.750% per annum, as provided in Section 2.03. 
 (c)    Unless supplemented or superseded in this Supplemental
Indenture, the terms of the 2032 Notes, including any Events of Default and covenants of the Company and the Guarantors are consistent with the Base Indenture and set forth therein. 

SECTION 2.02.    Guarantee. 

Subject to the terms and applicable limitations set forth in the Base Indenture and the form of 2032 Notes, each Guarantor, hereby jointly and
severally, fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the 2032 Notes and obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Authentication Agent, and to the Trustee
on behalf of such Holder, that (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the 2032 Notes will be paid in full when due, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise (including, without limitation, the amount that
would become due but for the operation of any automatic stay provision of any Bankruptcy Law), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder
will be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any 2032 Notes or of any such other obligations, the same will be paid in full when due
or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 9.03 of
the Base Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.03.    Interest. 

The 2032 Notes shall bear interest at a rate equal to 7.750% per annum. The 2032 Notes will bear interest from the date of the initial issuance
of such 2032 Notes or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semi-annually in arrears on October 19 and April 19 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”),
commencing on April 19, 2023, until the Maturity Date, unless previously purchased and cancelled or redeemed by the Company, to the person in whose name any Note is registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day preceding each
Interest Payment Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day (each, a “Record Date”) notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such 2032 Notes subsequent to the Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, except that,
if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, and the applicable grace period shall have expired, such defaulted interest may at the option of the Company be paid to the persons in
whose names the 

  
 3 













 
outstanding 2032 Notes are registered at the close of business on a subsequent Record Date (which shall not be less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted
interest) established by notice sent by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders (which term means registered holders) of the 2032 Notes, not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent Record Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, or in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed. If the date on which any interest payment or principal
payment is to be made is not a Business Day, such payment will be made on the next day which is a Business Day, without any further interest or other amounts being paid or payable in connection therewith. 

SECTION 2.04.    Place of Payment. 

The place or places where the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on the 2032 Notes shall
be payable, the place or places where any 2032 Notes may be surrendered for registration, transfer or exchange and the place or places where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the 2032 Notes may be served are as set forth in
the Base Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.05.    Optional Redemption. 

The Company may redeem the 2032 Notes, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at any time and from time to time before the Par Call
Date (as defined below), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (x) 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed and (y) the sum of the present values of the applicable Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below)
discounted to the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months or, in
the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the
Redemption Date. 
 If the Company elects to redeem the 2032 Notes on or after the Par Call Date, the Company will pay an amount equal to
100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

In connection with such optional redemption the following defined terms apply: 

 

	 	•	 	 Par Call Date means July 19, 2032 (three months prior to the Maturity Date of the 2032 Notes).



  

	 	•	 	 Remaining Scheduled Payments means, with respect to each 2032 Note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled
payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due from and including the related Redemption Date, but for such redemption, to but excluding the Par Call Date; provided, however, that if that Redemption Date is not an
Interest Payment Date with respect to such 2032 Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, that Redemption Date. 



  
 4 














	 	•	 	 Treasury Rate means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in
accordance with the following two paragraphs: 


  

	 	1.	 The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as
yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such
time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication)
(“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable:
(1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15
exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the
Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity
on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall
be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date. 



 

	 	2.	 If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is
no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the
United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury
securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with
a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence,




  
 5 














	 	
the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and
asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury
security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. 


Notice of any optional redemption will be given in accordance with the Base Indenture at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each Holder of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed. Any redemption may, at the Company’s sole discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. In the event of a conditional redemption, the notice of
conditional redemption shall reflect and specify the conditions to the redemption. Once the notice of redemption is delivered, Notes called for redemption shall, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions, become irrevocably due and
payable on the Redemption Date. 
 If less than all the 2032 Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 2.05, in the case of a
redemption at the Company’s option, the 2032 Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary. 

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.06.    Redemption for Tax Reasons. 

The ability of the Company to redeem the 2032 Notes due to a Change in Tax Law is as set forth in the Base Indenture. 

SECTION 2.07.    Additional Amounts. 

Except as set forth below, the applicability of payments of Additional Amounts under the 2032 Notes is as set forth in the Base Indenture. The
Company is not required to pay Additional Amounts, except to the extent described in Section 4.10 of the Base Indenture. 
 In addition
to the exceptions and limitations described in the Base Indenture, no Guarantor shall be required to pay any Additional Amounts for or on account of any taxes imposed or to be withheld pursuant to the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (Wet
bronbelasting 2021).

 B.A.T CAPITAL CORPORATION 

7.750% NOTE DUE 2032 

(1)    Interest. B.A.T Capital Corporation, a corporation incorporated in the state of Delaware, as issuer (the
“Company”), promises to pay, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 7.750% per annum. Interest on the 7.750% Notes due 2032 (the
“2032 Notes”) will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including October 19, 2022, to but excluding the date on which interest
is paid. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each October 19 and April 19, commencing on April 19, 2023. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months or, in the case of an
incomplete month, the number of days elapsed. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the 2032 Notes. 

(2)    Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest to those persons in whose name a 2032 Note is registered on
the 2032 Note register at the close of business on the 15th calendar day that precedes each Interest Payment Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day. Interest on the 2032 Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest
has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. If the date on which any interest payment or principal payment is to be made is not a Business Day, such payment will be made on the next day which is a Business Day, without any
further interest or other amounts being paid or payable in connection therewith. 
 (3)    Paying Agent, Transfer
Agent and Registrar. Initially, Citibank, N.A. (the “Agent”) will act as a Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders of
the 2032 Notes. The Company or any of its subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar. 

(4)    Indenture. The Company issued the 2032 Notes under an indenture dated as of September 6, 2019 (the
“Indenture”) and a supplemental indenture dated as of October 19, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture No. 15”), in each case among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Agent. This
is one of an issue of Notes of the Company issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture. The terms of the 2032 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture No. 15. The 2032 Notes are subject to all such
terms, and Holders of the 2032 Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture No. 15 for a statement of them. Capitalized and certain other terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in
the Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture No. 15 (as applicable). 
 (5)    Optional Redemption. At
any time and from time to time before the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the 2032 Notes, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a price equal to the greater of:

 (1)    100% of the aggregate principal amount of any 2032 Notes being redeemed, and 

  
 4 













 (2)    the sum of the present values of the applicable
Remaining Scheduled Payments discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months or, in the case of an
incomplete month, the number of days elapsed) at the Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points, 
 together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 On or after the Par Call Date
of the 2032 Notes, the 2032 Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part, from time to time, at the Company’s option, upon at least 10 days’ but no more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 The 2032 Notes
are also redeemable by the Company, in whole but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date (including any Additional Amounts) at the Company’s option at any time
prior to their maturity if, due to a Change in Tax Law: (i) the Company or any Guarantor, in accordance with the Supplemental Indenture No. 15, has, or would, become obligated to pay any Additional Amounts to the Holders of the 2032 Notes;
(ii) in the case of any Guarantor, (A) the Parent would be unable, for reasons outside its control, to procure payment by the Company or any other Guarantor or (B) the procuring of such payment by the Company and each such other
Guarantor would be subject to withholding taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; and (iii) such obligation cannot otherwise be avoided by such Guarantor, the Parent or the Company, taking reasonable measures available to it. 

(6)    Redemption Procedures. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the 2032 Notes at any time, in the
case of 2032 Notes issued in definitive form, the 2032 Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary. 

(7)    Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be transmitted at least 10 but not more than 60 days
before the Redemption Date to each Holder of 2032 Notes to be redeemed in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Indenture. If the 2032 Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such 2032 Notes will state the
portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be redeemed. Any redemption may, at the Company’s sole discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. In the event of a conditional redemption, the notice of
conditional redemption shall reflect and specify the conditions to the redemption. Once the notice of redemption is delivered, 2032 Notes called for redemption shall, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions, become irrevocably due
and payable on the Redemption Date. 
 (8)    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The 2032 Notes shall be issuable
only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange 2032 Notes in accordance with the Indenture. 

  
 5 













 (9)    Persons Deemed Owners. The Depositary may be treated by
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the 2032 Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever. 

(10)    Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the
Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its request or, if such money is then held by the Company in trust, such money shall be released from such trust. After that, Holders of the 2032 Notes entitled to the money must look
only to the Company for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another Person. 

(11)    Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may modify or amend the

limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default with respect to the 2032 Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01 (vii), (viii) or (ix) of the Indenture with respect to the Company or any Guarantor) shall have occurred

Guarantor and the Trustee, may declare the entire principal amount of all 2032 Notes and interest accrued and unpaid thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable,

satisfactory to the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any 2032 Note (including payments pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the 2032 Notes pursuant to
the provisions of the Indenture), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of the 2032 Notes.
