Hubbell Incorporated is offering $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.650% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"), $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.900% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "2033 Notes"), and $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.150% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "2036 Notes," and together with the 2031 Notes and the 2033 Notes, the "notes"). Interest on the notes of each series will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2026. The notes will be our unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The notes of each series will be redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at any time and from time to time prior to the applicable stated maturity date at the redemption prices described in this prospectus supplement. See "Description of notes—Redemption of notes—Optional redemption." If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined herein) occurs, subject to certain exceptions described in this prospectus supplement, we will be required to make an offer to each holder of the notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each holder's notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased to, but excluding, the repurchase date. See "Description of notes—Change of control offer."

On May 1, 2026, Hubbell Incorporated entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Purchase Agreement") by and among Hubbell Incorporated (Delaware), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Hubbell Incorporated, NSI Electrical Buyer, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NSI Industries"), NSI Buyer, LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Seller"), and Hubbell Incorporated, as parent guarantor. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Hubbell Incorporated agreed to purchase NSI Industries for an aggregate purchase price of $3.0 billion in cash, subject to customary adjustments related to cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (such acquisition, the "NSI Industries Acquisition"). Absent a Special Mandatory Redemption Event (as defined herein), we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand and/or additional borrowings (including proceeds from the borrowing of up to $900 million of unsecured term loans under that certain Term Loan Agreement, dated as of May 15, 2026 (the "2026 Term Loan Facility"), among Hubbell Incorporated, a syndicate of lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and/or issuances of commercial paper), to fund the consideration for the NSI Industries Acquisition (as defined herein), to repay certain existing indebtedness of NSI Industries and its subsidiaries, and to pay fees, costs and expenses in connection with the foregoing, and any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. See "Use of Proceeds."

In the event that (x) the NSI Industries Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days (as defined herein) after the later of (i) May 1, 2027 or (ii) any later date as the parties to the Purchase Agreement may agree as the "Outside Date" thereunder or (y) we notify the trustee in writing that we will not pursue the consummation of the NSI Industries Acquisition, we will be required to redeem the notes then outstanding at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined herein). See "Description of notes — Special Mandatory Redemption."

**ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT** 

This document consists of two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the offering of the notes. The second part is the accompanying prospectus, which provides more general information, some of which may not be applicable to the offering of the notes. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus include important information about us, the notes and other information you should review before investing in the notes. This prospectus supplement also adds, updates and changes information contained in the accompanying prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. Before investing in the notes, you should carefully read both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, together with the additional information about us described under "Where You Can Find More Information" in the accompanying prospectus.

**You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus or term sheet we authorize that supplements this prospectus supplement. We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized any person to provide you with different information. If any person other than us provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We and the underwriters are not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, any free writing prospectus and the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein is accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, properties, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.** 

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus to "Hubbell," "we," "us" and "our" are to Hubbell Incorporated, a Connecticut corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We expect to deliver the notes against payment for the notes on or about June 8, 2026, which will be the fourth business day following the date of the pricing of the notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the business day before the delivery of the notes hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+4, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

**SUMMARY** 

*This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in the notes. You should read the entire prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus carefully, including "Risk factors" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes and the documents incorporated by reference herein.* 

**Hubbell Incorporated** 

Hubbell was founded as a proprietorship in 1888, and was incorporated in Connecticut in 1905. We are a global manufacturer of quality electrical products and utility solutions for a broad range of customer and end-market applications. Products are either sourced complete, manufactured or assembled by subsidiaries in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, China, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Australia, Spain, Ireland and the Republic of the Philippines. We also participate in joint ventures in Hong Kong and the Republic of the Philippines, and maintain offices in Singapore, Italy, China, India, Mexico, South Korea, Chile and countries in the Middle East. As of December 31, 2025, Hubbell had approximately 18,000 employees.

We provide utility and electrical solutions that enable our customers to operate critical infrastructure reliably and efficiently, and we empower and energize communities through innovative solutions supporting energy infrastructure In Front of the Meter, on The Edge, and Behind the Meter. In Front of the Meter is where utilities transmit and distribute energy to their customers. The Edge connects utilities with owners and operators and allows energy and data to be distributed back and forth. Behind the Meter is where owners and operators of building and other critical infrastructure consume energy. The Company's reporting segments consist of the Utility Solutions segment and the Electrical Solutions segment.

Hubbell Utility Solutions has leading positions In Front of the Meter and on The Edge. The Utility Solutions segment (63% of consolidated revenues in 2025, 64% in 2024 and 61% in 2023) consists of businesses that enable the grid to conduct, communicate and control energy across utility applications. The Utility Solutions segment provides critical components that allow the grid to reliably transmit and distribute energy, as well as the communications and controls technologies to make the grid smarter and more flexible. This includes utility transmission & distribution components such as arresters, insulators, connectors, anchors, bushings, enclosures, cutouts and switches. The Utility Solutions segment also offers solutions that serve The Edge of the utility infrastructure, including smart meters, communications systems, and protection and control devices. Hubbell Utility Solutions supports the electrical distribution, electrical substation, electrical transmission, gas distribution, telecommunications, utility meters & AMI, and grid protection and controls markets. While Hubbell believes its sales in this area are not materially dependent upon any customer or group of customers, a substantial variability in purchases by electrical utilities would affect this segment.

Hubbell Electrical Solutions is positioned Behind the Meter, consisting of businesses that are essential to managing power across a wide range of industries and applications. Hubbell Electrical Solutions provides the critical components that allow operators of buildings, factories, and other industrial infrastructure to connect, protect, wire and manage power reliability and efficiency. The Electrical Solutions segment (37% of consolidated revenues in 2025, 36% in 2024 and 39% in 2023) comprises businesses that sell stock and custom products including standard and special application wiring device products, rough-in electrical products, and connector and grounding products, as well as other electrical equipment.

Products of the Electrical Solutions segment have applications in the non-residential, light industrial, heavy industrial, datacenter, electric transmission and distribution, and renewables markets. Electrical Solutions segment products are typically used in and around industrial, commercial and institutional facilities by electrical contractors, maintenance personnel, electricians, utilities, and telecommunications companies. In addition,

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
certain of our businesses design and manufacture industrial controls and communication systems used in the non-residential and industrial markets. Many of these products are designed such that they can also be used in harsh and hazardous locations where a potential for fire and explosion exists due to the presence of flammable gasses and vapors. Harsh and hazardous products are primarily used in the oil and gas (onshore and offshore) and mining industries. We also offer a variety of wiring devices and electrical products that have residential and utility applications.

Hubbell is a Connecticut corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 40 Waterview Drive, Shelton, Connecticut 06484-1000. Our main telephone number is (475) 882-4000.

Our website is www.hubbell.com. Information contained on our website is not a part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus.

**Recent Developments** 

On May 1, 2026, we entered into the Purchase Agreement, by and among Hubbell Incorporated (Delaware), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Hubbell Incorporated, NSI Industries, Seller, and Hubbell Incorporated, as parent guarantor. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to purchase NSI Industries, a provider of electrical fittings, connectors, components and wire management products serving industrial, infrastructure and commercial markets, by acquiring all the issued and outstanding capital stock of NSI Industries.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to pay an aggregate purchase price of $3.0 billion in cash, subject to customary adjustments related to cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and the closing of the NSI Industries Acquisition is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). We have agreed with the Seller that the closing of the NSI Industries Acquisition will not occur prior to May 31, 2026 without our consent.

The Purchase Agreement includes customary termination provisions, including the right of either us or the Seller to terminate the Purchase Agreement if (a) the closing of the NSI Industries Acquisition has not occurred by eight months following the date of the Purchase Agreement (subject to two 60-day automatic extensions under certain circumstances up through the one-year anniversary of the date of the Agreement) (the "Outside Date"), (b) there is an Order (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the NSI Industries Acquisition or (c) the other party has breached its representations, warranties or covenants in a way that prevents satisfaction of a closing condition, subject to a cure period. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated for failure to close the NSI Industries Acquisition prior to the Outside Date for reasons specified in the Purchase Agreement relating to the failure to obtain antitrust approvals, we will be required to pay to Seller or its designee a termination fee equal to $150.0 million.

| **Risk factors**  | Investing in the notes involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth or referenced under the caption "Risk factors" and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement before deciding to invest in the notes. |

**RISK FACTORS** 

*Investors should carefully consider the following risk factors and the risk factors related to our business identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before acquiring any of the notes. These risks are not the only risks that we face in our business and/or in connection with this offering. Our business, financial condition and results of operations and/or the success of the notes offered hereby could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to be material.* 

***We have outstanding indebtedness and our indebtedness will further increase if we incur additional indebtedness in the future and do not retire existing indebtedness.***

We have outstanding indebtedness and other financial obligations and significant unused borrowing capacity. Our indebtedness level and related debt service obligations could have negative consequences, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• requiring us to dedicate significant cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our
indebtedness, which would reduce the funds we have available for other purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reducing our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and market conditions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exposing us to interest rate risk since a portion of our debt obligations are at variable rates.

We may incur significantly more indebtedness in the future. If we incur new indebtedness and do not retire existing indebtedness, the risks described above could increase.

***The indenture does not restrict the amount of additional unsecured indebtedness that we may incur.***

The notes and indenture pursuant to which the notes will be issued do not place any limitation on the amount of unsecured indebtedness that Hubbell Incorporated or its subsidiaries may incur. Our incurrence of additional indebtedness may have important consequences for you as a holder of the notes, including making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes, a loss in the trading value of your notes, if any, and a risk that the credit rating of the notes is lowered or withdrawn.

***The notes are subject to prior claims of secured creditors.***

The notes will be Hubbell Incorporated's unsecured, unsubordinated debt obligations, ranking equally in right of payment with Hubbell Incorporated's other existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness and effectively subordinated in right of payment to any secured indebtedness of Hubbell Incorporated to the extent of the value of the assets constituting the security. The indenture governing the notes permits Hubbell Incorporated and its subsidiaries to incur secured indebtedness under specified circumstances, and the amounts incurred could be substantial. If Hubbell Incorporated incurs any indebtedness secured by its assets or assets of its subsidiaries, these assets will be subject to the prior claims of our secured creditors.

In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding, these pledged assets would be available to satisfy secured obligations before any payment could be made on the notes. To the extent that such assets cannot satisfy in full any such secured obligations, the holders of such obligations would have a claim for any shortfall that would rank equally in right of payment with the notes. In that case, Hubbell Incorporated may not have sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the notes.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
***The notes will not be guaranteed by any of Hubbell Incorporated's subsidiaries and are structurally subordinated to any future preferred stock and any existing or future indebtedness, guarantees and other liabilities of Hubbell Incorporated's subsidiaries, which may affect your ability to receive payments on the notes.***

The notes will be exclusively obligations of Hubbell Incorporated and will not be guaranteed by any of its subsidiaries. As a result, the notes will be structurally subordinated in right of payment to existing or future preferred stock, indebtedness, guarantees and other liabilities, including trade payables, of such subsidiaries. The indenture governing the notes does not restrict Hubbell Incorporated or its subsidiaries from incurring substantial additional indebtedness in the future.

Hubbell Incorporated currently derives substantially all of its operating income from, and holds most of its assets through, its subsidiaries, and its subsidiaries have significant assets and liabilities. Hubbell Incorporated's cash flow and its ability to service its indebtedness, including the notes, therefore partially depends upon the earnings of its subsidiaries, and Hubbell Incorporated depends on the distribution of earnings, loans or other payments by those subsidiaries to it.

Hubbell Incorporated's subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities. Hubbell Incorporated's subsidiaries have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes or, subject to existing or future contractual obligations between Hubbell Incorporated and its subsidiaries, to provide Hubbell Incorporated with funds to meet its obligations, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, any payment of dividends, distributions, loans or advances by such subsidiaries to Hubbell Incorporated could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions and taxes. Payments to Hubbell Incorporated by its subsidiaries will also be contingent upon such subsidiaries' earnings and business considerations.

Hubbell Incorporated's right to receive any assets of any of its subsidiaries upon liquidation or reorganization, and, as a result, the right of the holders of the notes to participate in those assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary's creditors, including trade creditors and preferred stockholders, if any. The notes do not restrict the ability of Hubbell Incorporated's subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness that may restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to Hubbell Incorporated. Hubbell Incorporated cannot assure you that the agreements governing the current and future indebtedness of its subsidiaries will permit such subsidiaries to provide Hubbell Incorporated with sufficient dividends, distributions or loans to fund payments on the notes when due. In addition, even if Hubbell Incorporated were a creditor of any of its subsidiaries, Hubbell Incorporated's rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of its subsidiaries and any indebtedness of its subsidiaries senior to indebtedness held by Hubbell Incorporated.

***Hubbell Incorporated may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.***

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless Hubbell Incorporated shall have (i) exercised its option to redeem the notes, (ii) become required to redeem the notes as the result of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event or (iii) defeased the notes (in each case, as described in this prospectus supplement), Hubbell Incorporated will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes for cash at the repurchase price described in this prospectus supplement. However, Hubbell Incorporated may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event because Hubbell Incorporated may not have sufficient funds to do so. In addition, agreements governing indebtedness incurred in the future may restrict Hubbell Incorporated from repurchasing the notes in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event. Any failure to repurchase properly tendered notes would constitute an event of default under the indenture governing the notes, which would, in turn, constitute a default under our revolving credit facility and term loan facilities and may constitute a default under agreements governing indebtedness incurred in the future and which could have material adverse consequences for us and you, as holders of the notes. See "Description of notes—Change of control offer."

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
***The Change of Control offer provisions of the notes may not protect holders of the notes in the case of certain corporate transactions involving Hubbell.***

The provisions of the notes relating to a Change of Control Triggering Event may not protect you from certain important corporate transactions, such as a leveraged recapitalization (which would increase the level of our indebtedness), reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transactions not involving a change in voting power or the beneficial ownership of Hubbell Incorporated. Even transactions involving a change in voting power or beneficial ownership of Hubbell Incorporated may not involve a change that constitutes a Change of Control and, if not, will not constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event that would trigger Hubbell Incorporated's obligation to offer to repurchase the notes. In addition, Hubbell Incorporated's obligation to offer to repurchase the notes is conditioned upon the occurrence of a Rating Event, as described in "Description of notes—Change of control offer." If events occur that do not constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event, Hubbell Incorporated will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the applicable notes, and you may be required to continue to hold your applicable notes despite the occurrence of such events. See "Description of notes—Change of control offer."

***The limited covenants in the notes and the indenture may not provide protection against some events or developments that may affect Hubbell Incorporated's ability to repay the notes or the trading prices for the notes.***

The indenture governing the notes does not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• require the maintenance of any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth or liquidity and, accordingly,
does not protect holders of the notes in the event that we experience significant adverse changes in our financial condition or results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit Hubbell Incorporated's ability to incur indebtedness that is equal in right of payment to the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit Hubbell Incorporated's ability to incur substantial secured indebtedness that would effectively rank
senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing the indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit Hubbell Incorporated's subsidiaries' ability to incur indebtedness, which would rank
structurally senior to the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrict Hubbell Incorporated's subsidiaries' ability to issue securities or otherwise incur
indebtedness that would be senior to our equity interests in our subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrict our ability to repurchase or prepay our securities; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrict our ability to make investments or to repurchase or pay dividends or make other payments in respect of
our common stock or other securities ranking junior to the notes.

For these reasons, you should not consider the covenants in the indenture as a significant factor in evaluating whether to invest in the notes. In addition, we are subject to periodic review by independent credit rating agencies. An increase in the level of our outstanding indebtedness, or other events that could have an adverse impact on our business, properties, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, may cause the rating agencies to downgrade our debt credit rating generally, and the ratings on the notes, which could adversely impact the trading prices for, or the liquidity of, the notes. Any such downgrade could also adversely affect our cost of borrowing, limit our access to the capital markets or result in more restrictive covenants in future debt agreements.

***Credit ratings may not reflect all risks of your investment in the notes.***

Any credit ratings assigned or that will be assigned to the notes are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an investment in the notes, but rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
agency. We cannot assure you that such credit ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agencies, if, in such rating agency's judgment, circumstances so warrant.

Agency credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under further review for a downgrade, could affect the market values of the notes and increase our corporate borrowing costs.

***Active trading markets for the notes may not develop.***

The notes are new issues of securities with no established trading markets, and active trading markets may not develop. If the notes trade after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our performance and other factors. To the extent that an active trading market does not develop, the liquidity and trading prices for the notes may be harmed.

We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange. Certain of the underwriters have advised us that they presently intend to make a market in each series of the notes as permitted by applicable law. The underwriters, however, are not obligated to make markets in the notes and may cease their market-making activities at any time, at their discretion and without notice. If the underwriters cease to act as the market makers for the notes, we cannot assure you that another firm or person will make a market in the notes.

In addition, the liquidity of any trading market in the notes and any market prices quoted for the notes may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for securities and by changes in our financial performance or prospects or the financial performance or prospects of companies in our industry. As a result, no assurance can be given (a) that active trading markets will develop or be maintained for the notes, (b) as to the liquidity of any market that does develop or (c) as to your ability to sell any notes you may own or the prices at which you may be able to sell your notes.

***An increase in market interest rates could result in a decrease in the relative value of the notes.***

In general, as market interest rates rise, debt instruments bearing interest at a fixed rate decline in value because the premium over market interest rates, if any, will decline. Consequently, if you purchase the notes and market interest rates increase, the market values of your notes may decline. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates.

***In the event that (x) the NSI Industries Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the later of (i) May 1, 2027 or (ii) any later date as the parties to the Purchase Agreement may agree as the "Outside Date" thereunder or (y) we notify the trustee in writing that we will not pursue the consummation of the NSI Industries Acquisition, we will be required to redeem the notes and may not have the funds necessary to redeem such notes. In addition, if we are required to redeem the notes in connection with a Special Mandatory Redemption, holders of the notes may not obtain their expected return on the notes.***

Our ability to consummate the NSI Industries Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including matters over which we have limited or no control. In the event that (x) the NSI Industries Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the later of (i) May 1, 2027 or (ii) any later date as the parties to the Purchase Agreement may agree as the "Outside Date" thereunder or (y) we notify the trustee in writing that we will not pursue the consummation of the NSI Industries Acquisition, we will be required to redeem the notes then outstanding at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest,

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, and we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds available to redeem any or all of the notes. See "Description of notes — Special mandatory redemption." Even if we are able to redeem such notes pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption provisions, holders of such notes may not obtain their expected return on such notes and may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from a Special Mandatory Redemption in an investment that results in a comparable return. Holders of the notes will have no right to opt out of the Special Mandatory Redemption provisions of such notes. Your decision to invest in the notes is made at the time of the offering of the notes. Further, holders of the notes will have no rights under the Special Mandatory Redemption provisions if the NSI Industries Acquisition is consummated, nor will such holders have any right to require us to redeem such notes if, between the closing of the notes offering and the closing of the NSI Industries Acquisition, we experience any changes in our business or financial condition or if the terms of the NSI Industries Acquisition change.

***We are not obligated to place the net proceeds from the sale of the notes in escrow prior to the closing of the NSI Industries Acquisition and, as a result, we may not be able to redeem the notes upon a Special Mandatory Redemption.***

The net proceeds from the sale of the notes will not be deposited into an escrow account pending any Special Mandatory Redemption, and the indenture governing the notes imposes no restrictions on our use of these proceeds. Accordingly, the source of funds for any redemption of notes upon a Special Mandatory Redemption would be the proceeds that we have voluntarily retained or other sources of liquidity, including available cash, borrowings, or sales of assets. It is possible that we will not have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy our obligations to redeem the notes if we are required to do so pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption provisions. Furthermore, our failure to redeem or repurchase the notes as required under the indenture would result in a default under the indenture, which could result in defaults under certain of our other debt agreements and have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the notes.

**Risks Relating to the NSI Industries Acquisition** 

***Completion of the NSI Industries Acquisition is subject to conditions, and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the NSI Industries Acquisition will not be completed.***

Each party's obligation to complete the NSI Industries Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. These include, among others: (a) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act; (b) the accuracy of the parties' respective representations and warranties, subject to standards of materiality as set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (c) the compliance by the parties with their respective covenants and obligations under the Agreement, in all material respects; and (d) the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

The failure to satisfy all of the required conditions in the Purchase Agreement could delay the completion of the NSI Industries Acquisition or prevent the NSI Industries Acquisition from occurring. Any delay in completing the NSI Industries Acquisition could cause us not to realize some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the NSI Industries Acquisition is successfully completed within the expected time frame. There can be no assurance that the conditions to the closing of the NSI Industries Acquisition will be satisfied or waived or that the NSI Industries Acquisition will be completed, or as to whether the NSI Industries Acquisition will be completed on terms other than those set forth in the Purchase Agreement as in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement.

***In order to complete the NSI Industries Acquisition, Hubbell and NSI Industries must make certain governmental filings and obtain certain governmental authorizations, and if such filings and authorizations are not made or granted or are granted with conditions, completion of the NSI Industries Acquisition may be jeopardized or the anticipated benefits of the NSI Industries Acquisition could be reduced or not realized.***

Although Hubbell and NSI Industries have agreed in the Purchase Agreement to use their reasonable best efforts, subject to certain limitations, to obtain the required expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Act, there can be no assurance that the relevant governmental authorities will clear the NSI Industries Acquisition. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, Hubbell and NSI Industries are required to accept certain conditions and take certain actions imposed by governmental authorities that would apply to, or affect, the businesses, assets or properties of Hubbell or NSI Industries. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions and that such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not have the effect of (i) delaying completion of the NSI Industries Acquisition, (ii) imposing additional material costs on or materially limiting the revenues of Hubbell following the NSI Industries Acquisition, or (iii) otherwise adversely affecting Hubbell's business and results of operations after completion of the NSI Industries Acquisition. In addition, we can provide no assurance that these conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the NSI Industries Acquisition.

***Failure to complete the NSI Industries Acquisition could negatively impact the price of our securities, as well as our respective future businesses and financial results.***

If the NSI Industries Acquisition is not completed for any reason, our businesses and financial results may be adversely affected, including as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on the market price
of our securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the manner in which industry contacts, business partners and other third parties perceive us may be negatively
impacted, which in turn could affect our marketing operations or our ability to compete for new business or obtain renewals in the marketplace more broadly;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may experience negative reactions from employees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we will have expended time and resources that could otherwise have been spent on our existing businesses and the
pursuit of other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us, and our ongoing business and financial results may be adversely affected.

***We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the NSI Industries Acquisition or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected.***

We believe that there are significant benefits that may be realized through the combined scale and product offerings of Hubbell and NSI Industries. However, the efforts to realize these benefits will be a complex process and may disrupt both companies' existing operations if not implemented in a timely and efficient manner. The full benefits of the NSI Industries Acquisition, including the anticipated sales or growth opportunities, may not be realized as expected or may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of the NSI Industries Acquisition could adversely affect our results of operations or cash flows, cause dilution to our earnings per share, decrease or delay any accretive effect of the acquisition and negatively impact the price of our common shares and the market prices of the notes.

In addition, we will be required post-closing to devote significant attention and resources to successfully align our business practices and operations. This process may disrupt the businesses and, if ineffective, would limit the anticipated benefits of the NSI Industries Acquisition.

***We will incur direct and indirect costs as a result of the NSI Industries Acquisition.***

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with negotiating and completing the NSI Industries Acquisition and integrating NSI Industries.

We will also incur transaction fees and costs related to integration, including systems consolidation costs and employment-related costs. We will continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, and additional unanticipated

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
costs may be incurred in the NSI Industries Acquisition and the integration of the NSI Industries business into ours. Although we expect that the elimination of certain duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, should allow us to offset integration-related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all. The costs described above, as well as other unanticipated costs and expenses, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results following the completion of the NSI Industries Acquisition. Many of these costs will be borne by us even if the NSI Industries Acquisition is not completed. Factors beyond our control could affect the total amount or timing of these expenses, many of which, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately.

***We are not providing in the base prospectus, this preliminary prospectus supplement or the final prospectus supplement historical financial information of NSI Industries or pro forma financial statement information reflecting the impact of the NSI Industries Acquisition on our historical financial position and operating results.***

We are not required, pursuant to SEC regulations, to include any historical NSI Industries financial statements or pro forma financial information related to the NSI Industries Acquisition in this prospectus supplement. As a result, investors will be required to determine whether to participate in this offering without the benefit of such historical or pro forma financial information. Accordingly, when deciding whether to invest in the notes, you should consider the fact that there is very limited information related to NSI Industries or its anticipated impact on our financial results contained in this prospectus supplement. We cannot assure you that such limited information is adequate to assess the impact of the NSI Industries Acquisition on our future financial performance or condition.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**USE OF PROCEEDS** 

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $1,869.6 million after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand and/or additional borrowings (including proceeds from the 2026 Term Loan Facility and/or issuances of commercial paper), to finance the consideration for the NSI Industries Acquisition, to repay certain existing indebtedness of NSI Industries and its subsidiaries, and to pay fees, costs and expenses in connection with the foregoing. We intend to use any remaining net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes.

**DESCRIPTION OF NOTES** 

*The following description of the terms of the notes offered hereby supplements, and to the extent it is inconsistent therewith replaces, the description of the general terms of debt securities set forth in the accompanying prospectus, to which description reference is hereby made. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this description have the meanings specified in the base indenture (as defined below). In this section of this prospectus supplement, references to "we," "our," "us" and the "Company" are to Hubbell Incorporated (and not its subsidiaries) and any person that succeeds thereto, and is substituted therefor, under the terms of the indenture (as defined below).* 

**General** 

The notes will constitute three separate series of debt securities to be issued under the indenture, dated September 15, 1995 (the "base indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (successor as trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank, formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank, formerly known as Chemical Bank))), as supplemented by an Eighth Supplemental Indenture to be entered into between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as the trustee (the "trustee") (the "eighth supplemental indenture," and together with the base indenture, the "indenture").

The title of each series of notes will be the 4.650% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"), 4.900% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "2033 Notes") and 5.150% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "2036 Notes").

The aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes initially will be $500,000,000. The aggregate principal amount of the 2033 Notes initially will be $700,000,000. The aggregate principal amount of the 2036 Notes initially will be $700,000,000. The 2031 Notes will mature and become due and payable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on June 15, 2031 (the "2031 Notes stated maturity date"). The 2033 Notes will mature and become due and payable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on June 15, 2033 (the "2033 Notes stated maturity date"). The 2036 Notes will mature and become due and payable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on June 15, 2036 (the "2036 Notes stated maturity date" and each of the 2031 Notes stated maturity date, the 2033 Notes stated maturity date and the 2036 Notes stated maturity date, a "stated maturity date"). The 2031 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.650% per annum from June 8, 2026. The 2033 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.900% per annum from June 8, 2026. The 2036 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.150% per annum from June 8, 2026.

Interest on the 2031 Notes, the 2033 Notes and the 2036 Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2026, to the Persons (as defined in the base indenture) in whose names the respective notes are registered at the close of business on the June 1 and December 1 (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the relevant interest payment dates. If any interest payment date is not a Business Day, then payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but without any additional interest or other amount.

"Business Day" means, with respect to the notes, any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York City or in the city where the Corporate Trust Office (as defined in the base indenture) or place of payment is located are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

Interest payable on any interest payment date (and the applicable stated maturity date) with respect to each series of notes shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding interest payment date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the notes of such series (or from and including the date of the eighth supplemental indenture, if no interest has previously been paid or duly

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
provided for with respect to the notes of such series) to, but excluding, such interest payment date (or the applicable stated maturity date).

Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

The notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

The notes will initially be represented by one or more registered notes in global form, but in certain limited circumstances may be represented by notes in definitive form. See "—Book-entry procedures." The notes will be issued in Dollars (as defined in the base indenture) and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

**Further issuance of additional notes** 

We may, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the holders of the notes, create and issue additional notes having the same terms and conditions and with the same CUSIP, ISIN and/or other identifying number as any series of notes offered hereby, in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, except for issue date, issue price, initial interest accrual date and the date of the first payment of interest thereon. Any such additional notes will be consolidated with the notes of the applicable series to form a single series of debt securities under the indenture, *provided*, that any such additional notes that are not fungible with the notes of the applicable series for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP, ISIN and/or other identifying number, if applicable, than the notes of such series.

**Ranking** 

The notes will be our unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The notes will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our current and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

The indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that the Company may issue. The indenture does not contain any provisions that would limit the ability of the Company or its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness.

The Company derives substantially all of its operating income from, and holds most of its assets through, its subsidiaries. As a result, the Company is dependent on the cash flow of its subsidiaries to meet its debt obligations, including its obligations under the notes. These subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and will have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes or provide the Company with funds for its payment obligations with respect thereto, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or otherwise. As a result, the notes will be structurally subordinated in right of payment to existing or future preferred stock, indebtedness, guarantees and other liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries. Further, provisions of applicable law, such as those limiting the payment of dividends, could limit the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends or make payments or other distributions to the Company, and the Company's subsidiaries could agree to contractual restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make payments or other distributions to the Company. In addition, the rights of the Company and its creditors, including the holders of the notes, to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon the subsidiary's liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of such subsidiary's creditors except to the extent that the Company may itself be a creditor of such subsidiary with recognized claims against such subsidiary.

As of March 31, 2026, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to the offering of the notes and the use of proceeds therefrom, the Company would have had approximately $5.3 billion of outstanding indebtedness.

**Payments and paying agents** 

Principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on the notes of any series shall be payable in Dollars, the transfer of the notes of any series shall be registrable, and the notes of any series shall be exchangeable for notes of the same series of a like aggregate principal amount, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, which shall initially be the office or agency of the trustee in Hartford, Connecticut; *provided*, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the security register or by wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the Person entitled to payment; and *provided*, *further*, that the Company shall pay principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest on, the notes of any series in global form registered in the name of or held by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or such other U.S. depositary as any officer of the Company may from time to time designate, or its respective nominee, by wire in immediately available funds to DTC (or such other U.S. depositary) or its nominee, as the case may be, as the holder of such notes in global form. The security registrar for the notes shall be the trustee; and the paying agent for the notes shall initially be the trustee.

**Redemption of notes** 

The notes of each series will be redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at any time and from time to time prior to May 15, 2031 (one month(s) prior to the 2031 Notes stated maturity date) (the "2031 Notes Par Call Date"), in the case of the 2031 Notes, prior to April 15, 2033 (two month(s) prior to the 2033 Notes stated maturity date) (the "2033 Notes Par Call Date"), in the case of the 2033 Notes and prior to March 15, 2036 (three month(s) prior to the 2036 Notes stated maturity date) (the "2036 Notes Par Call Date"), in the case of the 2036 Notes (each of the 2031 Notes Par Call Date, the 2033 Notes Par Call Date and the 2036 Notes Par Call Date, a "Par Call Date") at a redemption price equal to the greater of (the "Applicable Premium") (a) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon from the redemption date to the applicable Par Call Date (assuming for such purpose that the notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date and ****not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus (i) 10 basis points (in the case of the 2031 Notes), (ii) 15 basis points (in the case of the 2033 Notes) or (iii) 15 basis points (in the case of the 2036 Notes), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In addition, the notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at any time and from time to time on or after the applicable Par Call Date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Further, installments of interest on any notes to be optionally redeemed that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the applicable interest payment date to the holders of the notes as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to such notes and the indenture.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed, or delivered electronically if the notes are held by DTC in accordance with DTC's customary procedures, not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed.

Any redemption or notice of any redemption may, at the Company's discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of any equity offering or Change of Control, issuance of indebtedness or other transaction or event. Notice of any change to the timing set forth in the original notice of redemption will be given prior to the redemption date and in accordance with DTC's applicable procedures. The redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) and notice of any redemption may be rescinded at any time if the Company determines in its sole discretion that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied (or waived). The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the applicable redemption price and the performance of its obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person.

Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, from and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the notes of any series are to be redeemed, the notes to be redeemed will be selected by the trustee by a method that the trustee deems to be fair and appropriate.

For purposes of the optional redemption provisions of the notes, "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Treasury Rate applicable to a series of the notes 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 such 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) ("H.15 TCM"). In determining the
applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable 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 such redemption date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date H.15 TCM or any successor designation or
publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the applicable 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 applicable Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date, but
there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date, and one with a maturity date following the applicable
Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date, or two or
more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, 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, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date. 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, and rounded to

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
three decimal places) of such United States Treasury security at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date.

**Change of control offer** 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless we have (i) exercised our option to redeem the notes as described above under "—Redemption of notes—Optional redemption," (ii) become required to redeem the notes as described below under "—Redemption of notes—Special mandatory redemption," or (iii) defeased the notes as described below, we will be required to make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each holder of the notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each holder's notes in the manner and on the terms set forth in the notes. In a Change of Control Offer, we will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased to, but excluding, the repurchase date (a "Change of Control Payment"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at our option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice will be mailed to the trustee and mailed, or delivered electronically if the notes are held by DTC in accordance with DTC's customary procedures, to holders of the notes, describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such notes on the repurchase date specified in the applicable notice, which date will be no earlier than 15 days and (except to the extent that such notice is conditioned on the occurrence of the Change of Control Triggering Event) no later than 60 days from the date on which such notice is mailed (or delivered electronically) to the holders of the notes, which date, in a notice conditioned on the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, may be designated by reference to the date that such condition is satisfied, rather than a specific date (a "Change of Control Payment Date").

The notice will, if mailed (or delivered electronically) prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the applicable Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice.

On each Change of Control Payment Date, we will, to the extent lawful

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control
Offer,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or
portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control Offer, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes properly accepted together with an officers'
certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being repurchased.

We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by us, and such third party purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, we will not repurchase any notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default (as defined below) under the indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

We will be required to comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the notes, we will comply with such securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the notes by virtue of any such conflict and compliance.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the notes, the following definitions will be applicable:

"Board of Directors" means, as to any Person, the board of directors or managers, as applicable, of such Person (or, if such Person is a partnership, the board of directors or other governing body of the general partner of such Person) or any authorized committee thereof.

"Change of Control" means the occurrence of any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or
consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries' assets, taken as a whole, to any person, other than us or one of our subsidiaries; provided, that none of the
circumstances in this clause (a) will be a Change of Control if the persons that beneficially own our Voting Stock immediately prior to the transaction own, directly or indirectly, Voting Stock of the transferee person representing a majority
of the voting power of the transferee person's Voting Stock immediately after giving effect to the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of
which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our
outstanding Voting Stock, or other Voting Stock into which the Company's Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; provided, that a person shall not be deemed a
beneficial owner of, or to own beneficially, (i) any securities tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or on behalf of such person or any of such person's affiliates until such tendered securities are accepted for
purchase or exchange thereunder or (ii) any securities if such beneficial ownership (A) arises solely as a result of a revocable proxy delivered in response to a proxy or consent solicitation made by the Company pursuant to the applicable
rules and regulations under the Exchange Act and (B) is not also then reportable on Schedule 13D (or any successor schedule) under the Exchange Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) we consolidate with, or merge with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or
into, us, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of our outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where
the shares of our Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving
person immediately after giving effect to such transaction, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors are not Continuing
Directors; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (a) we become a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company or other person and (b)(1) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company or such other person immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of our Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (2) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company or other person satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company or such other person.

As used in this definition, the term "person" has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition in one or more series of related transactions of "all or substantially all" of our

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require us to repurchase such holder's notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition in one or more series of related transactions of less than all of our and our subsidiaries' assets, taken as a whole, to another person may be uncertain.

"Change of Control Triggering Event" means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event.

"Continuing Directors" means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Company's Board of Directors who (a) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date the notes of the applicable series were issued or (b) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of our proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination).

"Investment Grade" means a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody's and BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P, and the equivalent Investment Grade credit rating from any replacement Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by us.

"Moody's" means Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and its successors.

"Rating Agencies" means (a) each of Moody's and S&P; and (b) if any of Moody's or S&P ceases to rate the notes of the applicable series or fails to make a rating of the notes of the applicable series publicly available for reasons outside of our control, a "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" as defined under Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by us (as certified by a resolution of the Company's Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Moody's or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.

"Rating Event" means the rating on the notes of the applicable series is lowered by both Rating Agencies and the notes of such series are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies, in any case on any day during the period (which period will be extended so long as the rating of the notes of such series is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies) commencing upon the earlier of (a) the first public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or (b) the first public notice of our intention to effect a Change of Control, and in each case, ending 60 days following the consummation of the Change of Control, and the rating on the notes of such series is not, within such period, subsequently upgraded by both Rating Agencies to an Investment Grade rating. However, a Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Change of Control Triggering Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform a responsible officer of the trustee in writing at the Company's request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control.

"S&P" means S&P Global Ratings and its successors.

"Voting Stock" means, with respect to any specified "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the capital stock or other equity interests of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the Board of Directors of such person.

**Special Mandatory Redemption** 

In the event that (x) the NSI Industries Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the later of (i) May 1, 2027 or (ii) any later date as the parties to the Purchase Agreement

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
may agree as the "Outside Date" thereunder or (y) we notify the trustee in writing that we will not pursue the consummation of the NSI Industries Acquisition (any such event being a "Special Mandatory Redemption Event"), we will be required to redeem the notes then outstanding (such redemption, the "Special Mandatory Redemption") at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below) (the "Special Mandatory Redemption Price"). For purposes of the foregoing, the NSI Industries Acquisition will be deemed consummated if the closing under the Purchase Agreement occurs, including after giving effect to any amendments or modifications to the Purchase Agreement or waivers thereunder acceptable to us. Our actions and determinations in determining the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the notes shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The trustee will not be responsible or liable for calculating, determining, confirming, or verifying the Special Mandatory Redemption Price.

In the event that we become obligated to redeem the notes pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption, we will promptly, and in any event not more than ten (10) Business Days after the Special Mandatory Redemption Event, deliver notice to the trustee of the Special Mandatory Redemption and the date upon which the notes will be redeemed (the "Special Mandatory Redemption Date," which date shall be no later than the tenth (10) Business Day following the date of such notice, unless some longer minimum period may be required by DTC (or any successor depositary)), together with a notice of Special Mandatory Redemption for the trustee to deliver to each registered holder of notes. The trustee will then reasonably promptly, in accordance with the trustee's and DTC's (or any successor depositary's) procedures, mail, or electronically deliver such notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to each registered holder of notes. Unless we default in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of any series of notes, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on such notes.

"NSI Industries Acquisition" means the acquisition of NSI Electrical Buyer, Inc. by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

"Purchase Agreement" means that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2026, by and among Hubbell Incorporated (Delaware), NSI Electrical Buyer, Inc., NSI Buyer, LP and, solely for purposes of Section 13.17 thereof, the Company, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on any series of notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date will be payable on such interest payment dates to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record dates in accordance with the applicable notes and the indenture.

Upon consummation of the NSI Industries Acquisition, the foregoing provisions regarding the Special Mandatory Redemption will cease to apply.

**Covenants** 

We will not be restricted by the indenture from incurring indebtedness or other obligations, paying dividends or making distributions on our capital stock, or repurchasing or redeeming our capital stock. The indenture also will not require the maintenance of any financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity.

***Limitation on liens***

The Company will not create or assume, and will not permit a Restricted Subsidiary (as defined below) to create or assume, otherwise than in favor of the Company or a Subsidiary (as defined below), any indebtedness for borrowed money ("Debt") secured by a Mortgage (as defined below) upon any Principal Property (as defined below) or upon any shares of capital stock or Debt issued by any Subsidiary and owned by the Company or any

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Restricted Subsidiary, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, without making effective provision whereby the notes will be secured equally and ratably with, or at our option, senior to, such Debt, so long as such Debt is so secured; *provided*, that the foregoing covenant will not be applicable to Debt secured by the following, and the Debt so secured will be excluded from any computation under the next succeeding paragraph below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Mortgages on property of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary existing on the date of the eighth supplemental
indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Mortgages on property of a Corporation or other entity existing at the time such Corporation or other entity is
merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of such Corporation or other entity (or a division of such Corporation or other entity) as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; *provided* that any such Mortgage does not extend to any property owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, sale,
lease or disposition;

acquires by sale or conveyance the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety (the "successor corporation") is a Corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia and will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest

"Attributable Debt" means, with respect to a Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property, the lesser of: (a) the fair market value of such property (as determined in good faith by the Company's

In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount will be the lesser of the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the net amount will also include the amount of the penalty, but no rent will be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or the net amount determined assuming no such termination.

"Board of Directors" means, as to any Person, the board of directors or managers, as applicable, of such Person (or, if such Person is a partnership, the board of directors or other governing body of the general partner of such Person) or any authorized committee thereof.

"Corporation" means any corporation, association, company (including any joint stock company and limited liability company) and business trust.

"Funded Debt" means Debt which matures more than one year from the date of creation, or which is extendable or renewable at the sole option of the obligor so that it may become payable more than one year from such date or which is classified, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, as long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet for the most-recently ended fiscal quarter (or if incurred subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, would have been so classified) of the Person for which the determination is being made. Funded Debt does not include (a) obligations created pursuant to leases, (b) any Debt or portion thereof maturing by its terms within one year from the time of any computation of the amount of outstanding Funded Debt unless such debt shall be extendable or renewable at the sole option of the obligor in such manner that it may become payable more than one year from such time, or (c) any Debt for which money in the amount necessary for the payment or redemption of such Debt is deposited in trust either at or before the maturity date thereof.

"Government" means the government of the United States and any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision thereof and the government of any foreign country with which the Company or its Subsidiaries is permitted to do business under applicable law and any department, agency or political subdivision thereof.

"Restricted Subsidiary" means, with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary that is a "significant subsidiary" as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); *provided*, that a Subsidiary will not be a Restricted Subsidiary if (a) it is principally engaged in the business of finance, banking, credit, leasing, insurance, investments, financial services or other similar operations, or any combination thereof; (b) it is principally engaged in financing the Company's operations outside the continental United States of America; (c) substantially all of its assets consist of the capital stock of one or more of the Subsidiaries engaged in the operations described in the preceding clause (a) or (b) or any combination thereof; (d) a majority of its Voting Stock will at the time be owned directly or indirectly by one or more Subsidiaries which are not Restricted Subsidiaries; or (e)(i) it has issued and sold either (x) equity securities with aggregate net proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 or (y) debt securities aggregating $10,000,000 or more in principal amount, or (ii) the Company has sold equity securities of such Subsidiary with aggregate net proceeds to the Company in excess of $10,000,000; *provided*, *however*, that the securities referred to in this clause (e) were issued under a registration statement filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act.

continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) default in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) the notes of such series on the date on

default" under the indenture;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company by a court having jurisdiction in the
premises in an involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or a decree or order adjudging the Company bankrupt or

trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
period of 90 consecutive days; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
constituted, or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or the consent by it to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action.

If an Event of Default with respect to the notes of any series at that time outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (d) or (e) above) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series may declare the principal amount of all the notes of such series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the trustee if given by holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest (and premium, if any) (the "Default Amount"), shall become immediately due and payable. Upon payment of the Default Amount in the currency in which such notes are denominated (except as otherwise provided pursuant to the indenture), all obligations of the Company in respect of the payment of principal of the notes of such series shall terminate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this "—Events of default" section, if an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (d) or (e) above occurs, then the Default Amount on the notes then outstanding will *ipso facto* become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the notes of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee as provided in the indenture, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series, by written notice to the Company and the trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Company has paid or deposited with the trustee a sum in the currency in which such notes are denominated
(except as otherwise provided pursuant to the indenture) sufficient to pay (A) all overdue installments of interest on the notes of such series, (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any notes of such series which have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such notes, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest on the
notes of such series, and (D) all sums paid or advanced by the trustee under the indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the trustee under
the indenture; *provided*, *however*, that all sums payable under this clause (D) shall be paid in Dollars; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) all Events of Default with respect to the notes of such series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of
the notes of such series which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided below.

No such rescission and waiver shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the notes of any such series waive, by notice to the trustee and the Company, any past default under the indenture with respect to the notes of such series and its consequences, except a default

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the notes of such series, or in the
payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to the notes of such series, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) in respect of a covenant or provision of the indenture which pursuant to the indenture cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note of such series affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the notes of such series under the indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

**Modification of indenture**

supplemental indenture would apply; or

applicable to the notes of any series or the notes of any series, as applicable,  **** ** to the description of the terms of the notes of such series in this prospectus supplement.

***Changes requiring approval of holders of notes***

With the written consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of each series affected by such supplemental indenture voting separately, by act of said holders delivered to the Company and the trustee, the Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, and the trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders under the indenture of the notes; *provided*, *however*, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note of each such series affected thereby:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Company delivers to the trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that
all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the notes as contemplated by this "—Legal defeasance and covenant defeasance" section have been complied with;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the indenture or any
other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) no Event of Default or event (including such deposit) which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become
an Event of Default with respect to the notes of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and, with respect to the legal defeasance option only, no Event of Default under paragraphs (d) or (e) of
"—Events of default" or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under paragraphs (d) or (e) of "—Events of default" shall have occurred and be
continuing on the 91st day after such date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) the Company shall have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that such defeasance will
not cause the beneficial owners of the notes of such series to recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes and such beneficial owners will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same time as if the defeasance had not occurred, which opinion of counsel, in the case of the legal defeasance option, must be based on a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option and an Event of Default under paragraphs (d) or (e) of "—Events of default" or an event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under paragraphs (d) or (e) of "—Events of default" shall have occurred and be continuing on the 91st day after the date of such deposit, the obligations of the Company referred to under the definition of covenant defeasance option with respect to such notes shall be reinstated in full.

"Discharged" means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and obligations under, the notes of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations under the indenture relating to the notes of such series (and the trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except (a) the rights of holders of the notes of such series to receive, from the trust fund described in paragraph (a) above, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to temporary notes, registration, transfer or exchange of the notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost and stolen notes, compensation and reimbursement of the trustee, maintenance of office or agency and holding deposited moneys and U.S. Government Obligations in trust, in each case, as expressly provided for in the base indenture, as supplemented and amended as of the relevant time and (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee under the base indenture, as supplemented and amended as of the relevant time.

"U.S. Government Obligations" means securities that are (a) direct obligations of the United States for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged, or (b) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States, which, in either case under clause (a) or (b), are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt; *provided* that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

**Satisfaction and discharge** 

The indenture, with respect to the notes of any series (if all series of the notes are not to be affected), shall upon the Company's request, cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such notes expressly provided for in the indenture and the right to receive payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest on such notes) and the trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the indenture, when

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) either (A) all notes of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) notes of
such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in the indenture and (ii) notes of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in
trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in the indenture) have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or (B) all notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the trustee
for cancellation, (i) have become due and payable, or (ii) will become due and payable at their stated maturity date within one year, or (iii) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year
under arrangements satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of notice by the trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) of this subclause (B), has irrevocably deposited or
caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose an amount in the currency in which such notes are denominated sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such notes for principal (and premium, if any)
and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of notes which have become due and payable) or to the applicable stated maturity date or redemption date, as the case may be; *provided*, *however*, in the event a petition for relief
under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, is filed with respect to the Company within 91 days after the deposit and the trustee is
required to return the deposited money to the Company, the obligations of the Company under the indenture with respect to such notes shall not be deemed terminated or discharged;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under the indenture in respect of such notes;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Company has delivered to the trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel each stating
that all conditions precedent under the indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture with respect to the notes of such series have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any discharge relating to any redemption of any series of notes that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the trustee equal to the Applicable Premium with respect to such series of notes calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption (and calculated as though the redemption date were the date of such notice of redemption), with any deficit as of the redemption date only required to be deposited with the trustee on or prior to the redemption date.

**Liability for notes** 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or the interest on the notes, or any part thereof, or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the indenture, against any incorporator, or against any stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company (or any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director of any predecessor or successor Corporation (as defined above)), either directly or through the Company (or any such predecessor or successor Corporation (as defined above)), whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all as set forth in the indenture.

**Book-entry procedures** 

We have obtained the following information concerning DTC, Clearstream Banking S.A., or "Clearstream," and Euroclear Bank SA/NV, as operator of the Euroclear System, or "Euroclear," and the book-entry system and procedures from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.

The notes will be issued initially in the form of permanent global securities in registered form deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered, at the request of DTC, in the name of Cede & Co. Beneficial interests in the global securities will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct or indirect participants in DTC. Investors may elect to hold their interests in the global security through either DTC (in the United States) or (in Europe) through Clearstream or through Euroclear. Investors may hold their interests in the global securities directly if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in these 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. depositories will, in turn, hold interests on behalf of their participants' customers' securities accounts. Except as set forth below, the global securities may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.

Notes represented by the global securities can be exchanged for definitive securities in registered form only if

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for those global securities and we do
not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days after receiving such notice,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered and in good standing under the Exchange Act and we do
not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days after becoming aware of such condition,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we at any time and in our sole discretion determine that those global securities will be exchangeable for
definitive securities in registered form and notify the trustee of our decision, or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an Event of Default with respect to the notes represented by those global securities has occurred and is
continuing.

A global security that can be exchanged as described in the preceding sentence will be exchanged for definitive securities issued in authorized denominations in registered form for the same aggregate amount. The definitive securities will be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as DTC, pursuant to the instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the trustee. We will make principal and interest payments on the notes represented by the global securities to the paying agent which in turn will make payment to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole holder of the notes represented by a global security for all purposes under the indenture. Accordingly, we, the trustee, the security registrar and any paying agent will have no responsibility or liability for

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any aspect of DTC's records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in
a debt security represented by a global security,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and its participants or the relationship between those
participants and the owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through those participants, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the maintenance, supervision or review of any of DTC's records relating to those beneficial ownership
interests.

We expect that, under DTC's current practice, DTC will credit participants' accounts on each payment date with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such global securities as shown on DTC's records, upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information. The underwriters or agents for the notes represented by the global securities will initially designate the accounts to be credited. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for customer accounts registered in "street name," and will be the sole responsibility of those participants. Book-entry notes may be more difficult to pledge because of the lack of a physical note.

***DTC***

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a global security, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of the notes represented by that global security for all purposes of the notes. Except as set forth above, owners of beneficial interests in the notes will not be entitled to have notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the notes in definitive form and will not be considered owners or holders of notes under the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a global security must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that person is not a DTC participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of notes. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in certificated form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial owners may experience delays in receiving distributions on their notes since distributions will initially be made to DTC and must then be transferred through the chain of intermediaries to the beneficial owner's account.

We understand that, under existing industry practices, if we request holders to take any action, or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security desires to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under the indenture, then DTC would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to take that action and those participants would authorize the beneficial owners owning through such participants to take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

Beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and transfers of those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC and its participants for that global security. The conveyance of

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
notices and other communications by DTC to its participants and by its participants to owners of beneficial interests in the notes will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect.

We understand that DTC 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 U.S. Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act.

We understand that DTC holds the securities of its participants and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants. The electronic book-entry system eliminates the need for physical certificates.

DTC's participants include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of which, and/or their representatives, own DTC. Banks, brokers, dealers, trust companies and others that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly, also have access to DTC's book-entry system. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.

We understand that the above information with respect to DTC has been provided to its participants and other members of the financial community for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as a representation, warranty or contract modification of any kind.

***Clearstream***

We understand that

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations, or "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 certificates,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clearstream provides to Clearstream participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration,
clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clearstream interfaces with domestic securities markets in several countries,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• as a registered bank in Luxembourg, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the
Supervision of the Financial Sector (*Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier*),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clearstream participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters,
securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include an underwriter, dealer, agent or purchaser engaged by us to sell the notes,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clearstream's U.S. Participants are limited to securities brokers and dealers and banks, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• indirect access to Clearstream is also available to other institutions, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust
companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with Clearstream participants.

Distributions with respect to 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***

We understand that

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear, or "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,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Euroclear performs various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with
domestic markets in several countries,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Euroclear is owned by Euroclear plc, a United Kingdom limited liability company, and operated through a license
agreement by Euroclear Bank SA/NV, known as the "Euroclear operator,"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all operations are conducted by the Euroclear operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and
Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear operator, not Euroclear plc,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Euroclear plc establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear participants,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Euroclear participants include banks, including central banks, securities brokers and dealers and other
professional financial intermediaries and may include an underwriter, dealer, agent or purchaser engaged by us to sell the notes,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Euroclear is an indirect participant in DTC,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Euroclear operator is a Belgian bank. As such, it is regulated by the Belgian Banking and Finance Commission
and overseen as the operator of a securities settlement system by the National Bank of Belgium,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear operator are governed by the Terms and
Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, and applicable Belgian law, which we will refer to herein as the "Terms and Conditions,"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawals of securities and
cash from Euroclear, and receipts of payments with respect to securities in Euroclear,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all securities in Euroclear are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific
securities clearance accounts, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Euroclear operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear participants, and has no
record of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear participants.

Distributions with respect to notes held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear participants in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for Euroclear.

We understand that investors that acquire, hold and transfer interests in the notes by book-entry through accounts with the Euroclear operator or any other securities intermediary are subject to the laws and contractual provisions governing their relationship with their intermediary, as well as the laws and contractual provisions governing the relationship between such an intermediary and each other intermediary, if any, standing between themselves and the global securities.

**Governing law** 

The Indenture and the notes for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

**CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS** 

The following is a general discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders (each as defined below) with respect to the ownership and disposition of notes acquired in this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations. This discussion is limited to the U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to holders who acquire notes in the initial offering at their original "issue price" (*i.e.*, the first price at which a substantial amount of notes is sold to purchasers (other than bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers) for cash) and that hold such notes as "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address tax consequences relevant to subsequent purchasers of the notes. This discussion is based on current provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions and administrative rulings and published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), each as in effect as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect, and any such change or interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein.

This discussion is for general information only and does not purport to address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their particular circumstances and does not apply to holders subject to special rules under the U.S. federal income tax laws (including, for example, banks or other financial institutions, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, grantor trusts, entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or other flow-through entities (and investors therein), subchapter S corporations, retirement plans, individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to the notes as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement, holders liable for any alternative minimum tax, certain former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States, U.S. holders having a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar, holders who hold the notes as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction, "controlled foreign corporations," and "passive foreign investment companies"). This discussion also does not address any considerations under U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to the income tax, nor does it address any considerations under any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. In addition, this discussion does not address the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes arising under the unearned income Medicare contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 nor any considerations with respect to any withholding required pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (including temporary, proposed and final Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection therewith and any laws, regulations or practices adopted in connection with any such agreement). Prospective investors should consult with their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences to them of the ownership and disposition of the notes, including with respect to the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or any tax treaty, and any changes (or proposed changes) in tax laws or interpretations thereof.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds notes, the tax treatment of a person treated as a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Persons that for U.S. federal income tax purposes are treated as a partner in a partnership holding the notes should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of the ownership and disposition of the notes.

**THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF ALL TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO** 

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
 **THEM OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. INCOME TAX LAWS OR ANY TAX TREATY.** 

The terms of each series of the notes provide for payments by us in excess of stated interest or principal, or prior to their scheduled payment dates, under certain circumstances. The possibility of such payments may implicate special rules under Treasury regulations governing "contingent payment debt instruments." According to those Treasury regulations, the possibility that such payments of excess or accelerated amounts will be made will not cause the notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments (and will not affect the amount of income a holder recognizes in advance of the payment of such excess or accelerated amounts) if there is only a remote chance as of the date the notes are issued that such payments will be made. We intend to take the position that the likelihood that such payments will be made is remote within the meaning of the applicable Treasury regulations. Our position that these contingencies are remote is binding on a holder unless such holder discloses its contrary position to the IRS in the manner required by applicable Treasury regulations. Our position is not, however, binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to challenge this position successfully, a holder might be required to, among other things, accrue interest income based on a projected payment schedule and comparable yield, which may be in excess of stated interest, and treat as ordinary income rather than capital gain any gain realized on the taxable disposition of a note. In the event a contingency described above occurs, it could affect the amount, timing and character of the income or loss recognized by a holder. Prospective holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences if the notes were treated as contingent payment debt instruments. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the notes will not be considered contingent payment debt instruments.

**U.S. holders** 

For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of a note that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or
organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trust (a) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the
trust's administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for
U.S. federal income tax purposes.

***Payments of interest***

It is anticipated, and this discussion assumes, that the issue price of the notes in each series will be equal to the stated principal amount or, if the issue price is less than the stated principal amount, the difference will be a *de minimis* amount (as set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations). Interest on a note generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it is received or accrued, in accordance with the U.S. holder's regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

***Sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of the notes***

A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of any property received on such disposition (other than amounts properly attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which amounts will be treated as interest income as described above under "—Payments of interest")

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
and (b) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally will be equal to the amount that such U.S. holder paid for the note. Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss, if, at the time of such disposition, the U.S. holder will have held the note for a period of more than one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

***Information reporting and backup withholding***

Information reporting generally will apply to payments of interest on the notes and to the proceeds of a sale or other taxable disposition of a note paid to a U.S. holder unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. U.S. federal backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) generally will apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 providing such U.S. holder's correct taxpayer identification number and certifying that such U.S. holder is not subject to backup withholding, or to otherwise establish an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, *provided* that the required information is furnished timely to the IRS.

**Non-U.S. holders** 

For purposes of this discussion, the term "non-U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of a note that is neither a U.S. holder nor a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

***Payments of interest***

Subject to the discussion below under "—Information reporting and backup withholding," payments of interest on the notes to a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax under the "portfolio interest exemption," provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• such interest is not effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (or, in the case of an income tax treaty resident, is not attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base of the non-U.S. holder
in the United States);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the non-U.S. holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or more
of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the non-U.S. holder is not a "controlled foreign corporation"
with respect to which we are a "related person" within the meaning of the Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• either (a) the beneficial owner of the notes provides the applicable withholding agent with a properly
completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, certifying, under penalties of perjury, that it is
not a U.S. person and providing its name and address or (b) a financial institution that holds the notes on behalf of the beneficial owner certifies to the applicable withholding agent, under penalties of perjury, that it has received such
properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, from the beneficial owner or an intermediate
financial institution and provides the applicable withholding agent with a copy thereof.

If a non-U.S. holder cannot satisfy the requirements of the "portfolio interest exemption" described above, payments of interest made to the non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30%, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, unless such interest is

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base of the non-U.S. holder in the United States) and such non-U.S. holder provides the applicable withholding agent with a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI. In order to claim an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty, a non-U.S. holder generally must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable. Non-U.S. holders eligible for an exemption from or reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim with the IRS. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under an applicable income tax treaty and the requirements for claiming any such benefits.

Interest paid to a non-U.S. holder that is effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base of the non-U.S. holder in the United States) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, provided that the non-U.S. holder complies with applicable certification and other requirements. Instead, such interest generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if such non-U.S. holder were a United States person (as defined in the Code). A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its "effectively connected earnings and profits" for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments.

***Sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of the notes***

Subject to the discussion below under "—Information reporting and backup withholding" except with respect to accrued and unpaid interest (which will be treated as described above under "—Payments of Interest"), a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain realized upon the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• such gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder's
conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base of the non-U.S. holder in the United
States); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States
for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met (but under specific rules is not considered a resident of the United States under the Code).

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if such non-U.S. holder were a United States person. A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its "effectively connected earnings and profits" for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments.

A non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on any gain realized, which gain may be offset by U.S. source capital losses, if any, of the non-U.S. holder.

***Information reporting and backup withholding***

Generally, information reporting will apply to the amount of interest paid to each non-U.S. holder and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to such payments. These reporting requirements apply regardless of whether withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty. This information may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a non-U.S. holder resides or is established pursuant to the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement with those tax authorities. U.S. backup withholding (currently

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
at a rate of 24%) is imposed on certain payments to persons that fail to furnish the information required under the U.S. information reporting rules. Interest paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be exempt from backup withholding if the non-U.S. holder provides the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or otherwise establishes an exemption.

Under Treasury regulations, the payment of proceeds from the disposition of a note by a non-U.S. holder effected at a U.S. office of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless the non-U.S. holder provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or other applicable IRS Form W-8), certifying such non-U.S. holder's non-U.S. status, or such non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. The payment of proceeds from the disposition of a note by a non-U.S. holder effected at a non-U.S. office of a U.S. broker or a non-U.S. broker with certain specified U.S. connections generally will be subject to information reporting (but not backup withholding) unless such non-U.S. holder provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or other applicable IRS Form W-8), certifying such non-U.S. holder's non-U.S. status, or such non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding will apply if the disposition is subject to information reporting and the broker has actual knowledge that the non-U.S. holder is a United States person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is furnished timely to the IRS. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to their particular circumstances.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the notes included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The offering of the notes by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters' right to reject any order in whole or in part.

Notes sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement. Any notes sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering price not to exceed 0.350% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes, 0.375% of the principal amount of the 2033 Notes and 0.400% of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes. Any such securities dealers may resell any notes purchased from the underwriters to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount from the initial public offering price not to exceed 0.250% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes, 0.250% of the principal amount of the 2033 Notes and 0.250% of the principal amount of the 2036 Notes. If all the notes are not sold at the initial offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

The following table shows the underwriting discounts that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the relevant series of notes).

We estimate that our total expenses for this offering will be approximately $6.0 million.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell the notes in the open market. Purchases and sales in the open market may include short sales, purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Short sales involve secondary market sales by the underwriters of a greater number of the notes than they are
required to purchase in this offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Covering transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed
in order to cover short positions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the notes so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a
specified maximum.

Purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes. They may also cause the price of the notes to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time.

**Other relationships** 

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have in the past performed commercial banking, investment banking and advisory services for us from time to time for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses and may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. In particular, affiliates of each of the underwriters are lenders and/or agents under our credit facilities for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses and certain of the underwriters and/or their respective affiliates provided financial advisory services in connection with the NSI Industries Acquisition and act as lenders and/or agents under the related Bridge Facility and 2026 Term Loan. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (which may include bank loans and/or credit default swaps) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investment and securities activities may involve our securities and instruments. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. In addition, affiliates of some of the underwriters are lenders, and in some cases agents or managers for the lenders, under our revolving credit facility. Certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. In connection with the issuance of the notes, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements with financial institutions, which may include one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Extended settlement** 

We expect to deliver the notes against payment for the notes on or about June 8, 2026, which will be the fourth business day following the date of the pricing of the notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the business day before the delivery of the notes hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+4, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

**Notice to prospective investors in Canada**

The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

**ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS** 

This prospectus is part of an "automatic shelf" registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the "SEC," as a "well-known seasoned issuer" (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")). By using a shelf registration statement, we may sell any amount and combination of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and units from time to time and in one or more offerings. The "base" prospectus included in this registration statement only provides a general description of the securities that we may offer. Each time that we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and the specific terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, you should rely on the prospectus supplement.

We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different information. If any person provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We will not make an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

are designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock").

As of July 24, 2025, there were 53,140,009 shares of Common Stock outstanding, and no shares of Preferred Stock (of any class) issued and outstanding.

**Common Stock** 

We may issue common stock. This common stock may be issued independently or together with any other security offered hereby. Common Stock is currently our only authorized class of common stock. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters before shareholder meetings. Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights for the election of Directors. Subject to the rights of holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any, holders of Common Stock may be entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors in its discretion out of legally available funds. The shares of Common Stock have no sinking fund or redemption provisions or preemptive, conversion, exchange or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of our securities. Subject to any preferential rights of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any, upon our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in any of our assets that remain after payment or provision for payment to creditors.

In the event of any merger, consolidation, transfer of assets or earning power or other transaction in which shares of Common Stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Series A Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of Common Stock. These rights are protected by customary antidilution provisions.

The prospectus supplement relating to any Preferred Stock we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering. These terms may include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the designation of the series of Preferred Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of shares of Preferred Stock offered, the liquidation preference per share and the offering price of

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any listing or quotation of the Preferred Stock on any securities exchange; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the Preferred Stock.

**Material Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws** 

Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws and of the Connecticut Business Corporation Act (the "CBCA") could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions could also be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider to be in its best interests.

*Undesignated Preferred Stock* 

The Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that permit our Board of Directors to issue, without any further vote or action by the shareholders, preferred stock in one or more series and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting the series and the designation of the series, the voting powers, if any, of the shares of the series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the shares of such series. Such provisions may have the effect of deferring or preventing hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control or management of the Company.

*Shareholder Action by Unanimous Written Consent* 

Unlike action taken at an annual or special meeting, under the CBCA, our shareholders may only take action by written consent upon the unanimous written consent of all of the shareholders entitled to vote on the action. Otherwise, shareholders will only be able to take action at an annual or special meeting called in accordance with the By-Laws.

*Special Meetings* 

The By-Laws provide that special meetings of shareholders may only be called by the Chair of the Board, the Board of Directors, or the Chair of the Board upon the written request of the holders of not less than ten percent (10%) our outstanding voting stock, although the CBCA provides an exception such that if a corporation has a class of voting stock registered under the Exchange Act and no person held ten percent (10%) or more of such votes on February 1, 1988, then it need not hold a special meeting of shareholders unless the holders of thirty-five percent (35%) of the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered demand such a meeting.

*Requirements for Advance Notification of Shareholder Nominations and Proposals* 

Shareholders seeking to nominate Directors or to bring business before a shareholder meeting must comply with certain timing requirements and submit certain information to us in advance of such meeting as set forth in our By-Laws. These provisions may impede a shareholder's ability to bring matters before an annual or special meeting or make nominations for Directors.

*Indemnification* 

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify each of our Directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.

*Anti-Takeover Legislation* 

The Company is subject to Sections 33-840 to 33-842 of the CBCA (the "Fair Price Statute"). Subject to a business combination meeting a specified "highest price" test, specified approval by the Board of Directors

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
before an interested shareholder becomes such, or certain other exceptions, the Fair Price Statute generally requires certain types of business combinations of a Connecticut corporation or any subsidiary with, or otherwise involving, an interested shareholder (or an affiliate or associate of an interested shareholder) to be first approved by the corporation's Board of Directors and then approved by the affirmative vote of at least (i) the holders of 80% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the corporation's voting stock and (ii) the holders of two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the corporation's voting stock, excluding the voting stock held by the interested shareholder who is, or whose affiliate or associate is, a party to the business combination or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder. A "business combination" generally includes, subject to specified exceptions: mergers, consolidations and share exchanges; asset sales and other asset dispositions; some types of stock issuances and transfers; the adoption of any resolution or plan for the liquidation or dissolution of the corporation or any subsidiary; and reclassifications and similar transactions. Subject to certain qualifications, an "interested shareholder" is a person that beneficially owns ten percent (10%) or more of the corporation's voting power, or is an affiliate of the corporation and beneficially owned ten percent (10%) or more of the corporation's voting power within a two-year period before the date of the transaction.

The Company is also subject to Sections 33-843 to 33-845 of the CBCA (the "Moratorium Statute"). Subject to certain exceptions, the Moratorium Statute prohibits a Connecticut corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested shareholder for a period of five years after the date on which the person became an interested shareholder, unless the business combination or the purchase of stock by which such person became an interested shareholder is approved by the corporation's Board of Directors and by a majority of its non-employee Directors, before the date on which such person became an interested shareholder. The term "business combination" has the same general meaning as it has in the Fair Price Statute and, in addition, includes the receipt by an interested shareholder of the benefit, directly or indirectly, of any loans, advances, guaranties or other financial assistance or tax benefits by or through the corporation or any subsidiary, except proportionately as a shareholder; and the term "interested shareholder" has the same general meaning as it has in the Fair Price Statute.

Section 33-756(g) of the CBCA provides that a Director acting with respect to mergers, share exchanges, sales and other asset dispositions, and other specified business combinations may consider, in determining what he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, (i) the long-term as well as short-term interests of the corporation, (ii) the long-term as well as short-term interests of the shareholders, including the possibility that those interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation, (iii) the interests of the corporation's employees, customers, creditors and suppliers, and (iv) community and societal considerations, including those of any community in which any office or other facility of the corporation is located. A Director may also in his or her discretion consider any other factors he or she reasonably considers appropriate in determining what the Director reasonably believes is in the best interests of the corporation.

**DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES** 

We may issue debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness, which we refer to as "debt securities," from time to time in one or more distinct series. The debt securities will be senior debt securities. These debt securities may be issued independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the stockholder receiving the debt securities in such offering. Further terms of the debt securities will be stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. The following description, together with the additional information that may be included in any applicable prospectus supplement, may not be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the indenture and any related agreement. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any debt securities that we may offer, the particular terms of any debt securities will be described in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any debt securities offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

The debt securities will be governed by an indenture, dated September 15, 1995 (the "indenture"), between Hubbell Incorporated and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (successor as trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank, formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank, formerly known as Chemical Bank, the "trustee"))), as trustee, as heretofore supplemented and as may be supplemented from time to time. The indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The trustee under the indenture has two main roles:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• first, subject to some limitations, the trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• second, the trustee performs certain administrative duties for us, which include sending you notices and, if the
trustee also performs the service of paying agent, interest payments.

As you read this section, please remember that the specific terms of your debt securities as described in your prospectus supplement will supplement and, if applicable, modify or replace the general terms described in this section. If there are any differences between your prospectus supplement and this prospectus, your prospectus supplement will control. Thus, the statements we make in this section may not apply to your debt security.

The statements and descriptions in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement or any document incorporated by reference into this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement regarding provisions of debt securities and the indenture are summaries of those provisions, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the debt securities and the indenture (including any amendments or supplements we may enter into from time to time which are permitted under the debt securities or the indenture). You should read the summary below, the applicable prospectus supplement, any document incorporated by reference into this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement, the indenture and any related documents before making your investment decision.
