**SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED , 2025** 

**PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS**![LOGO](g849918g03a63.jpg)

## Crown Americas LLC
**OFFER TO EXCHANGE** 

**$700,000,000 5.875% Senior Notes due 2033 and related Guarantees for all outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes due 2033** 

The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2025, unless extended. Crown Americas LLC ("Crown Americas" and the "Issuer") will exchange all old notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. You may withdraw tenders of old notes at any time before the exchange offer expires.

The form and terms of the new notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the old notes, except that the new notes:

• will have been registered under the Securities Act;

• will not bear restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act;

• will not be entitled to the registration rights that apply to the old notes; and

• will not contain provisions relating to increased interest rates in connection with the old notes under
circumstances related to the timing of the exchange offer.

The new notes will be senior obligations of the Issuer and initially will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by its indirect parent, Crown Holdings, Inc. ("we" or "Crown"), and by each of Crown's U.S. subsidiaries (other than the Issuer, Crown Americas Capital Corp., Crown Americas Capital Corp. V and Crown Americas Capital Corp. VI) that guarantees obligations under Crown's senior secured credit facilities, subject to customary release provisions. The entities providing such guarantees are referred to collectively as the guarantors. The notes will not be guaranteed by Crown's foreign subsidiaries. The new notes and new note guarantees will be effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the Issuer and the guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and will be junior in right of payment to all indebtedness of Crown's non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. Crown has agreed that, starting on the expiration date of the exchange offer and ending on the close of business one year after the expiration date, it will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution."

***See "[Risk Factors](#rom849918_2)" beginning on page 7 for a discussion of risks that should be considered by holders prior to tendering their old notes.***

**Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.**

**MARKETS, RANKING AND OTHER DATA** 

The data included in this prospectus regarding markets and ranking, including the position of Crown and its competitors within these markets, are based on independent industry publications, reports of government agencies or other published industry sources and the estimates of Crown based on its management's knowledge and experience in the markets in which it operates. We believe these data are accurate in all material respects as of the date of this prospectus. Crown's estimates have been based on information obtained from customers, suppliers, trade and business organizations and other contacts in the markets in which it operates. This information may prove to be inaccurate because of the method by which Crown obtained some of the data for these estimates or because this information cannot always be independently verified with complete certainty due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other inherent limitations and uncertainties. Furthermore, facts, statistics and estimates upon which these publications and data are based and to which Crown cites in this prospectus may become outdated, obsolete or inaccurate as underlying facts or markets or industry conditions change.

| Broker-Dealers  | Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. See "Plan of Distribution." |

---

Use of Proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer. See "Use of Proceeds."

Exchange Agent U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association) is serving as the exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences The exchange of old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Consequences of Exchanging Old Notes Pursuant to the Exchange Offer** 

Based on certain interpretive letters issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission to third parties in unrelated transactions, the Issuer is of the view that holders of old notes (other than any holder who is an "affiliate" of the Issuer within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) who exchange their old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer generally may offer the new notes for resale, resell such new notes and otherwise transfer the new notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, <u>provided</u> that:

• the new notes are acquired in the ordinary course of the holders' business;

• the holders have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new
notes; and

• neither the holder nor any other person is engaging in or intends to engage in a distribution of the new notes.

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activity must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes. See "Plan of Distribution." If a holder of old notes does not exchange the old notes for new notes according to the terms of the exchange offer, the old notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in the legend printed on the old notes. In general, the old notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Holders of old notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the exchange offer. See "The Exchange Offer—Resales of New Notes."

Additionally, if you do not participate in the exchange offer, you will not be able to require us to register your old notes under the Securities Act except in limited circumstances. These circumstances are:

• the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy,

• the exchange offer is not completed within 360 days of the issue date of the old notes, or

• prior to the 20th day following consummation of the exchange offer:

• any initial purchaser of the old notes requests that we register old notes that were not eligible to be exchanged
for new notes in the exchange offer and that are held by it following consummation of the exchange offer; or

• any holder of old notes notifies us that it is not eligible to participate in the exchange offer; or

• any initial purchaser of the old notes notifies us that it will not receive freely tradable new notes in exchange
for old notes constituting any portion of an unsold allotment.

In these cases, the registration rights agreement requires us to file a registration statement for a continuous offering in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the benefit of the holders of the old notes. We do not currently anticipate that we will register under the Securities Act any old notes that remain outstanding after completion of the exchange offer.

The new notes and new note guarantees will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and the guarantors,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the Issuer and the guarantors to the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• structurally subordinated to all indebtedness of subsidiaries of Crown that do not guarantee the notes offered
hereby which include all of Crown's foreign subsidiaries, and any U.S. subsidiaries that are neither obligors nor guarantors of Crown's senior secured credit facilities;

See "Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption." |

Crown will comply, to the extent applicable, with requirements of Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of notes in the event of a change of control repurchase event. |

---

Restrictive Covenants The indenture governing the new notes will limit, among other things, Crown's ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries (including the Issuer) to incur secured indebtedness and engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions.

These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and limitations that are described under the caption "Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants."

**Risk Factors** 

Participation in the exchange offer involves risks. You should carefully consider all of the information in this prospectus. In particular, you should evaluate the specific risk factors set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in this prospectus.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**RISK FACTORS** 

*You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, before deciding whether to participate in the exchange offer. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. The actual occurrence of any of these risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In that case, the value of the new notes could decline substantially, and you may lose part or all of your investment.* 

**Risks Related to the Exchange Offer** 

***If you fail to exchange your old notes for new notes your old notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer and may become less liquid.***

We did not register the old notes under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, nor do we intend to do so after the exchange offer. In general, you may only offer or sell the old notes if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. If you do not exchange your old notes in the exchange offer, you will lose your right to have the old notes registered under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. If you continue to hold old notes after the exchange offer, you may be unable to sell the old notes.

Because we anticipate that most holders of old notes will elect to exchange their old notes, we expect that the liquidity of the market for any old notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited. Any old notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the old notes outstanding. Following the exchange offer, if you do not tender your old notes you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your old notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the old notes could be adversely affected.

***If an active trading market for the new notes does not develop, the liquidity and value of the new notes could be harmed.***

There is no existing market for the new notes, and the Issuer cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop for the new notes. If no active trading market develops, you may not be able to resell your new notes at their fair market value or at all. Even if a public market for the new notes develops, trading prices of the new notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things, the Issuer's prevailing interest rates, demand for high yield debt securities generally, general economic conditions, the Issuer and Crown's financial performance or prospects or the prospects of the companies in their industry and the market for similar securities. The liquidity of a trading market for the new notes may be adversely affected by a general decline in the market for similar securities. Historically, the market for non-investment grade securities has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the new notes. Any such disruption may have a negative effect on you, as a holder of the new notes, regardless of our prospects and financial performance.

***You must comply with the exchange offer procedures in order to receive new notes.***

The new notes will be issued in exchange for the old notes only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of the old notes or a book-entry confirmation related thereto, a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or an agent's message and all other required documentation. If you want to tender your old notes in exchange for new notes, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. None of us, Crown nor the exchange agent, are under any duty to give you notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes for exchange. Old notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions. In addition, if you tender the old notes in the exchange

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
offer to participate in a distribution of the new notes, you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. For additional information, please refer to the sections entitled "The Exchange Offer" and "Plan of Distribution" later in this prospectus.

***Some persons who participate in the exchange offer must deliver a prospectus in connection with resales of the new notes.***

Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC contained in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC no-action letter (April 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC no-action letter (June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling, SEC no-action letter (July 2, 1983), we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the new notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. However, in some instances described in this prospectus under "Plan of Distribution," you will remain obligated to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer your new notes. In these cases, if you transfer any new note without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your exchange under the Securities Act, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not and will not assume, or indemnify you against, this liability. Furthermore, we will not seek our own interpretive letter. As a result, we cannot assure you that the staff will take the same position on this exchange offer as it did in interpretive letters to other parties in similar transactions.

**Risks Related to the New Notes** 

***Crown and the Issuer are holding companies with no direct operations and the new notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness of Crown's subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the new notes.***

Crown and the Issuer are holding companies with no direct operations. The principal assets of Crown and the Issuer are the equity interests and investments they hold in their subsidiaries. As a result, they depend on dividends and other payments from their subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet their financial obligations, including the payment of principal of and interest on their outstanding debt. Their subsidiaries are legally distinct from them and have no obligation to pay amounts due on their debt or to make funds available to them for such payment except as provided in the note guarantees or pursuant to intercompany notes. Not all of Crown's or the Issuer's subsidiaries will guarantee the new notes. Specifically, none of Crown's or the Issuer's foreign subsidiaries are expected to guarantee the new notes. A holder of new notes will not have any claim as a creditor against subsidiaries of Crown or the Issuer that are not guarantors of the new notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those non-guarantor subsidiaries will be effectively senior to your claims.

***Your right to receive payments on the new notes is effectively subordinated to Crown's existing secured indebtedness, including Crown's existing senior secured credit facilities, and possible future secured borrowings.***

The new notes and the new note guarantees will be effectively subordinated to the prior payment in full of Crown's, the Issuer's and the guarantors' current and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Such secured indebtedness may increase if Crown incurs secured indebtedness, including under Crown's senior secured revolving credit facilities, to finance an acquisition or otherwise. Because of the liens on the assets securing the senior secured credit facilities, in the event of the bankruptcy, wind-up, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of the borrowers or any guarantor of such indebtedness, the assets of the borrowers or guarantors would be available to pay obligations under the new notes offered to be exchanged hereby and other unsecured obligations only after payments had been made on the borrowers' or the guarantors' secured indebtedness. Sufficient assets may not remain after these payments have been made to make any payments on the new notes offered to be exchanged hereby and Crown's other unsecured

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
obligations, including payments of interest when due. Holders of the new notes offered to be exchanged hereby will participate ratably with all holders of other unsecured obligations that are deemed to be of the same class as the new notes offered to be exchanged hereby, and potentially with all of Crown's other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in Crown's remaining assets. As a result, holders of the new notes offered to be exchanged hereby may receive less ratably than holders of secured indebtedness. In addition, all payments on the notes and the note guarantees will be prohibited in the event of a payment default on Crown's secured indebtedness (including borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities) and, for limited periods, upon the occurrence of other defaults under the existing senior secured credit facilities.

***Crown may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of its indebtedness, including the new notes offered to be exchanged hereby, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy its obligations under its indebtedness, which may not be successful.***

Crown's ability to make scheduled payments on and to refinance its indebtedness, including the new notes offered to be exchanged hereby, and to fund planned capital expenditures and research and development efforts, will depend on Crown's ability to generate cash in the future. This is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that may be beyond Crown's control.

We cannot assure you that Crown's business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available in an amount sufficient to enable Crown to pay its indebtedness, including the new notes offered to be exchanged hereby, or to fund its other liquidity needs. If Crown's cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt service obligations, Crown may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance its indebtedness, including the new notes offered to be exchanged hereby. We cannot assure you that Crown would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would be successful and permitted under the terms of Crown's existing or future debt agreements or that Crown could release from these actions sufficient proceeds to meet any debt service obligations then due.

***The new note guarantee of a subsidiary guarantor will be released if such subsidiary guarantor no longer guarantees or is otherwise an obligor of indebtedness under any Crown credit facility.***

Any subsidiary guarantee of the new notes may be released without action by, or consent of, any holder of the new notes or the trustee under the indenture if the subsidiary guarantor is no longer a guarantor or an obligor of any Crown credit facility or other indebtedness as described under "Description of the Notes—Ranking and Guarantees." The lenders under Crown's senior secured credit facilities will have the discretion to release the subsidiary guarantees under the senior secured credit facilities in a variety of circumstances. You will not have a claim as a creditor against any subsidiary that is no longer a subsidiary guarantor of the new notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those subsidiaries will effectively be senior to your claims.

***The new notes and the new note guarantees may be voidable, subordinated or limited in scope under insolvency, fraudulent transfer, corporate or other laws.***

Fraudulent transfer and insolvency laws may void, subordinate or limit the new notes and the new note guarantees. See "Description of the Notes—Certain Bankruptcy and Fraudulent Transfer Limitations."

Under U.S. federal bankruptcy laws or comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, the issuance of the new note guarantees by Crown and the subsidiary guarantors could be voided, or claims in respect of such obligations could be subordinated to all of their other debts and other liabilities, if, among other things, at the time Crown and/or the subsidiary guarantors issued the related new note guarantees, or, potentially, the old note guarantees, Crown or the applicable subsidiary guarantor intended to hinder, delay or defraud any present or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
future creditor, or received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such indebtedness and either:

• was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

• was engaged in a business or transaction for which Crown's or such subsidiary guarantor's remaining
assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

• intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

By its terms, the new note guarantee of each guarantor will limit the liability of each such guarantor to the maximum amount it can pay without the new note guarantee being deemed a fraudulent transfer.

***Crown's senior secured credit facilities, the notes and other indebtedness provide that certain change of control events constitute an event of default. In the event of a change of control, Crown, Crown Americas and the guarantors may not be able to satisfy all of their obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, the new notes or other indebtedness.***

Crown, the Issuer and the guarantors may not have sufficient assets or be able to obtain sufficient third-party financing on favorable terms to satisfy all of their obligations under Crown's senior secured credit facilities, the new notes or other indebtedness in the event of a change of control. If Crown or the Issuer experiences a change of control repurchase event, the Issuer will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding new notes. However, Crown's senior secured credit facilities provide that certain change of control events constitute an event of default under the senior secured credit facilities. Such an event of default entitles the lenders thereunder to, among other things, cause all outstanding debt obligations under the senior secured credit facilities to become due and payable and to proceed against the collateral securing the senior secured credit facilities. Any event of default or acceleration of the senior secured credit facilities will likely also cause a default under the terms of other indebtedness of Crown.

In addition, Crown's senior secured credit facilities contain, and any future credit facilities or other agreements to which Crown becomes a party may contain, restrictions on its ability to offer to repurchase the new notes in connection with a change of control. In the event a change of control repurchase event occurs at a time when it is prohibited from offering to purchase the new notes, the Issuer could seek consent to offer to purchase the new notes or attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such a prohibition. If it does not obtain the consent or refinance the borrowings, the Issuer would remain prohibited from offering to purchase the new notes. In such case, the failure by the Issuer to offer to purchase the new notes would constitute a default under the indenture governing the new notes, which, in turn, could result in amounts outstanding under any future credit facility or other agreement relating to indebtedness being declared due and payable. Any such declaration could have adverse consequences to Crown, the Issuer and the holders of the new notes.

***Any decline in the ratings of Crown's corporate credit could adversely affect the trading price of the new notes.***

Any decline in the ratings of our corporate credit or any indications from the rating agencies that their ratings on Crown's corporate credit are under surveillance or review with possible negative implications could adversely affect the value of the new notes. In addition, a ratings downgrade could adversely affect our ability to access capital.

**Risks Related to Crown's Business**

**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS** 

Statements included in this prospectus that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions related thereto), are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words, such as "believes," "estimates," "anticipates," "expects" and other words of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. These may include, among others, statements relating to:

• Crown's plans or objectives for future operations, products or financial performance;

• Crown's policies with respect to executive compensation;

• Crown's progress on sustainability and environmental matters; and

• the expected outcome of contingencies, including with respect to asbestos-related litigation and pension and
postretirement liabilities.

These forward-looking statements are made based upon Crown's expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting it and, therefore, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Crown cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Important factors that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of Crown to differ include, but are not necessarily limited to:

• the ability of Crown to expand successfully in international and emerging markets;

• the ability of Crown to repay, refinance or restructure its short and long-term indebtedness on adequate terms
and to comply with the terms of its agreements relating to debt;

interest or foreign exchange rates (and the effectiveness of any currency or interest rate hedges), tax rates, and applicable tax laws (including with respect to taxation of unrepatriated non-U.S. earnings or
as a result of the depletion of net loss or foreign tax credit carryforwards);

• the impact of foreign trade laws and practices, including tariffs, retaliatory trade measures and further trade
restrictions;

• the collectability of receivables;

• war, including the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, or acts of terrorism that
may disrupt Crown's production or the supply or pricing of raw materials impact the financial condition of customers or adversely affect Crown's ability to refinance or restructure its remaining indebtedness;

• changes in the availability and pricing of raw materials (including aluminum can sheet, steel tinplate, energy,
water, inks and coatings) and Crown's ability to pass raw material, energy and freight price increases and surcharges through to its customers or to otherwise manage these commodity pricing risks;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
• Crown's ability to obtain and maintain adequate pricing for its products, including the impact on
Crown's revenue, margins and market share and the ongoing impact of price increases;

• energy and natural resource costs;

• the cost and other effects of legal and administrative cases and proceedings, settlements and investigations;

• the outcome of asbestos-related litigation;

• Crown's ability to realize deferred tax benefits;

• changes in Crown's critical or other accounting policies or the assumptions underlying those policies;

• labor relations and workforce and social costs, including Crown's pension and postretirement obligations
and other employee or retiree costs;

• investment performance of Crown's pension plans;

• costs and difficulties related to the acquisition of a business and integration of acquired businesses;

• the impact of actual or any potential dispositions, acquisitions or other strategic realignments, which may
impact Crown's operations, financial profile, investments or levels of indebtedness;

• Crown's ability to realize efficient capacity utilization and inventory levels and to innovate new designs
and technologies for its products in a cost-effective manner;

• competitive pressures, including new product developments, industry overcapacity, or changes in
competitors' pricing for products;

• Crown's ability to achieve high capacity utilization rates for its equipment;

• Crown's ability to maintain, develop and capitalize on competitive technologies for the design and
manufacture of products and to withstand competitive and legal challenges to the proprietary nature of such technology;

• Crown's ability to protect its information technology systems from attacks or catastrophic failure;

• the strength of Crown's cyber-security (including with respect to human vulnerabilities associated with
cyber-security risks);

• Crown's ability to generate sufficient production capacity;

• Crown's ability to improve and expand its existing product and product lines;

• the impact of overcapacity on the end-markets Crown serves;

• loss of customers, including the loss of any significant customers;

• changes in consumer preferences for different packaging products;

• the financial condition of Crown's vendors and customers;

• weather conditions, including their effect on demand for beverages and on crop yields for fruits and vegetables
stored in food containers;

• the impact of natural disasters, including in emerging markets;

• changes in governmental regulations or enforcement practices, including with respect to environmental, health and
safety matters and restrictions as to foreign investment or operation;

• the impact of increased governmental regulation on Crown and its products, including the regulation or
restriction of the use of bisphenol-A;

• the impact of Crown's initiatives to generate additional cash, including the reduction of working capital
levels and capital spending;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
• the ability of Crown to realize cost savings from its restructuring programs;

• Crown's ability to maintain adequate sources of capital and liquidity;

• costs and payments to certain of Crown's executive officers in connection with any termination of such
executive officers or a change in control of Crown;

• the impact of existing and future legislation regarding refundable mandatory deposit laws in Europe for non-refillable beverage containers and the implementation of an effective return system; and

• changes in Crown's strategic areas of focus, which may impact Crown's operations, financial profile
or levels of indebtedness.

Some of the factors noted above are discussed elsewhere in this prospectus and in prior Crown filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including within "Risk Factors" in this prospectus. In addition, other factors have been or may be discussed from time to time in Crown's filings with the SEC.

New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors. We cannot assess the impact of all risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

While Crown periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting its results of operations and financial condition in connection with the preparation of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and certain other sections contained in Crown's quarterly, annual or other reports filed with the SEC, Crown does not intend to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement in light of future events.

**USE OF PROCEEDS** 

We will not receive any proceeds from this exchange offer. Because we are exchanging the new notes for the old notes, which have substantially identical terms, the issuance of the new notes will not result in any increase in our indebtedness. The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement.

Net proceeds from the offering of the old notes were approximately $690 million, before deducting the initial purchasers' discount. These net proceeds were used, together with cash on hand, to repay the 4.750% senior notes due 2026, and to pay related fees and expenses.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**THE EXCHANGE OFFER** 

**Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer** 

On May 27, 2025, we issued and sold the old notes to the initial purchasers without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the exception set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The initial purchasers subsequently sold the old notes to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. Because the old notes are subject to transfer restrictions, we entered into a registration rights agreement under which we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to:

• prepare and file with the SEC the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

• cause the registration statement to become effective;

• complete the exchange offer by 360 days from the issue date of the old notes (or if such 360th day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day); and

• file a shelf registration statement for the resale of the old notes if we cannot effect an exchange offer within
the time period listed above and in certain other circumstances.

The registration statement is intended to satisfy our exchange offer obligations under the registration rights agreement.

Under existing interpretations of the SEC, we believe that the new notes will be freely transferable by holders other than our affiliates after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the new notes represents that:

• it is acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of its business;

• it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes and is
not participating in, and does not intend to participate in, the distribution of such new notes;

• it is not an affiliate of us, as that term is interpreted by the SEC; and

• it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the new notes.

However, each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a "participating broker dealer") will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such new notes. The SEC has taken the position that participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the new notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the original sale of the old notes) with this prospectus. Under the registration rights agreement, we are required to allow participating broker-dealers and other persons, if any, with similar prospectus delivery requirements to use this prospectus in connection with the resale of the new notes. See "Plan of Distribution."

The form and terms of the new notes are substantially the same as the form and terms of the old notes, except that the new notes will be registered under the Securities Act; will not bear restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act; will not be entitled to the registration rights that apply to the old notes; and will not contain provisions relating to increased interest rates in connection with the old notes under circumstances related to the timing of the exchange offer. The previously disclosed financial information for the Issuer and guarantors is materially consistent with the financial information for the Issuer and guarantors under this offering.

The new notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes. The new notes will be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the same indenture that authorized the issuance of the old notes. For a description of the indenture, see "Description of the Notes."

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
If we and the guarantors fail to meet certain specified deadlines under the registration rights agreement, we will be obligated to pay an increased interest rate on the old notes.

A copy of the registration rights agreement has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit 4.2 of the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated May 28, 2025, and is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

**Terms of the Exchange Offer** 

We are offering to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $700 million of our new notes for a like amount of our old notes. The old notes must be tendered properly in accordance with the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal on or prior to the expiration date and not withdrawn as permitted below. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon holders tendering a minimum principal amount of old notes. As of the date of this prospectus, all of the old notes are outstanding.

Old notes tendered in the exchange offer must be in denominations of the principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Holders of the old notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the exchange offer. If you do not tender your old notes or if you tender old notes that we do not accept, your old notes will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest and you will be entitled to the rights and benefits holders have under the indenture relating to the old notes and the new notes (as applicable). Existing transfer restrictions would continue to apply to such old notes. See "Risk Factors—If you fail to exchange your old notes for new notes your old notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer and may become less liquid" for more information regarding old notes outstanding after the exchange offer.

Neither Crown, the Issuer, any of the guarantors, nor any of their respective boards of directors or management, recommends that you tender or not tender old notes in the exchange offer or has authorized anyone to make any recommendation. You must decide whether to tender in the exchange offer and, if you decide to tender, the aggregate amount of old notes to tender.

The expiration date is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2025, or such later date and time to which the exchange offer is extended.

We have the right, in accordance with applicable law, at any time:

• to delay the acceptance of the old notes;

• to terminate the exchange offer and not accept any old notes for exchange if we determine that any of the
conditions to the exchange offer have not occurred or have not been satisfied;

• to extend the expiration date of the exchange offer and retain all old notes tendered in the exchange offer other
than those notes properly withdrawn; and

• to waive any condition or amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.

If we materially amend the exchange offer, we will as promptly as practicable distribute a prospectus supplement to the holders of the old notes disclosing the change and extend the exchange offer for a period of five (5) to ten (10) business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during the five (5) to ten (10) business day period.

If we exercise any of the rights listed above, we will as promptly as practicable give oral or written notice of the action to the exchange agent and will make a public announcement of such action. In the case of an extension, an

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
announcement will be made no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make public announcements of any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment of the exchange offer, we will have no obligation to publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate any public announcement, other than by making a timely release to a financial news service.

During an extension, all old notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer and may be accepted for exchange by us. Any old notes not accepted for exchange for any reason will be returned without cost to the holder that tendered them promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

We will accept all old notes validly tendered and not withdrawn. Promptly after the expiration date, we will issue new notes registered under the Securities Act to the exchange agent.

The exchange agent might not deliver the new notes to all tendering holders at the same time. The timing of delivery depends upon when the exchange agent receives and processes the required documents.

We will be deemed to have exchanged old notes validly tendered and not withdrawn when we give oral or written notice to the exchange agent of our acceptance of the tendered old notes, with written confirmation of any oral notice to be given promptly thereafter. The exchange agent is our agent for receiving tenders of old notes, letters of transmittal and related documents.

In tendering old notes, you must warrant in the letter of transmittal or in an agent's message (described below) that:

• you have full power and authority to tender, exchange, sell, assign and transfer old notes;

• we will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to the tendered old notes, free and clear of all liens,
restrictions, charges and other encumbrances; and

• the old notes tendered for exchange are not subject to any adverse claims or proxies.

You also must warrant and agree that you will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents requested by us or the exchange agent to complete the exchange, sale, assignment and transfer of the old notes.

Additionally, each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. See "Plan of Distribution."

**Procedures for Tendering Old Notes** 

***Valid Tender***

We have forwarded to you, along with this prospectus, a letter of transmittal relating to this exchange offer. The letter of transmittal is to be completed by a holder of old notes either if (1) a tender of old notes is to be made by delivering physical certificates for such old notes to the exchange agent or (2) a tender of old notes is to be made by book-entry transfer to the account of the exchange agent at DTC.

Only a holder of record of old notes may tender old notes in the exchange offer. To tender in the exchange offer, a holder must comply with the procedures of DTC and:

• complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal; have the
signature on the letter of transmittal guaranteed if the letter of transmittal so requires; and deliver the letter of transmittal or facsimile to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date; or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
• in lieu of delivering a letter of transmittal, instruct DTC to transmit on behalf of the holder a
computer-generated message to the exchange agent in which the holder of the old notes acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms of, and to make all of the representations contained in, the letter of transmittal, which computer-generated
message shall be received by the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date or such other internal deadline set by DTC as the case may be.

In addition, either:

• the exchange agent must receive old notes along with the letter of transmittal; or

• the exchange agent must receive, before expiration of the exchange offer, timely confirmation of book-entry
transfer of such old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC, according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below.

To be tendered effectively, the exchange agent must receive any physical delivery of the letter of transmittal and other required documents at the address set forth below under the caption "—Exchange Agent" before expiration of the exchange offer. To receive confirmation of valid tender of old notes, a holder should contact the exchange agent at the telephone number listed under the caption "—Exchange Agent."

A tender by a holder that is accepted by us and not withdrawn before expiration of the exchange offer will constitute a binding agreement between that holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal. Only a registered holder of old notes may tender the old notes in the exchange offer. If you tender fewer than all of your old notes, you should fill in the amount of notes tendered in the appropriate box on the letter of transmittal. The amount of old notes delivered to the exchange agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.

The method of delivery of the certificates for the old notes, the letter of transmittal and all other required documents is at the election and sole risk of the holders. If delivery is by mail, we recommend registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, or overnight delivery service. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery. No letters of transmittal or old notes should be sent directly to Crown. Delivery is complete when the exchange agent actually receives the items to be delivered. Delivery of documents to DTC in accordance with its procedures does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

If you beneficially own old notes and those notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or custodian and you wish to tender your old notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the registered holder as soon as possible and instruct it to tender the old notes on your behalf and comply with the instructions set forth in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal.

If the applicable letter of transmittal is signed by the record holder(s) of the old notes tendered, the signature must correspond with the name(s) written on the face of the old note without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If the applicable letter of transmittal is signed by a participant in DTC, the signature must correspond with the name as it appears on the security position listing as the holder of the old notes.

If any letter of transmittal, endorsement, bond power, power of attorney, or any other document required by the letter of transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person must indicate such capacity when signing. In addition, unless waived by us, the person must submit proper evidence satisfactory to us, in our sole discretion, of his or her authority to so act.

Holders should receive copies of the letter of transmittal with the prospectus. A holder may obtain additional copies of the letter of transmittal for the old notes from the exchange agent at its offices listed under the caption "—Exchange Agent."

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
***Signature Guarantees***

Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an eligible institution unless the old notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

• by a registered holder of old notes who has not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance
Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the letter of transmittal; or

• for the account of an eligible institution.

An "eligible institution" is a firm or other entity which is identified as an "Eligible Guarantor Institution" in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act, including:

• a bank;

• a broker, dealer, municipal securities broker or dealer or government securities broker or dealer;

• a credit union;

• a national securities exchange, registered securities association or clearing agency; or

• a savings association.

If old notes are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the letter of transmittal, the old notes surrendered for exchange must be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange, in satisfactory form as determined by us in our sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder with the holder's signature guaranteed by an eligible institution.

***DTC Book-Entry Transfers***

For tenders by book-entry transfer of old notes cleared through DTC, the exchange agent will make a request to establish an account at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer. Any financial institution that is a DTC participant may make book-entry delivery of old notes by causing DTC to transfer the old notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures for transfer. The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in DTC may use the Automated Tender Offer Program, or ATOP, procedures to tender old notes. Accordingly, any participant in DTC may make book-entry delivery of old notes by causing DTC to transfer those old notes into the exchange agent's account in accordance with its ATOP procedures for transfer.

Notwithstanding the ability of holders of old notes to effect delivery of old notes through book-entry transfer at DTC, the letter of transmittal or a facsimile thereof, or an agent's message in lieu of the letter of transmittal, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents must be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date at the address given below under "—Exchange Agent." In this context, the term "agent's message" means a message, transmitted by DTC and received by the exchange agent and forming part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a participant tendering old notes that are the subject of the book-entry confirmation that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, and that we may enforce that agreement against the participant.

**Determination of Validity** 

We will resolve all questions regarding the form of documents, validity, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance for exchange and withdrawal of any tendered old notes. Our determination of these questions as well as our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. A tender of old notes is invalid until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Holders must cure any defects and irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes for exchange

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
within such reasonable period of time as we will determine, unless we waive the defects or irregularities. Neither us, any of our affiliates or assigns, the exchange agent nor any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders nor will we or they be liable for failing to give any such notice.

We reserve the absolute right, in our sole and absolute discretion:

• to reject any tenders determined to be in improper form or unlawful;

• to waive any of the conditions of the exchange offer; and

• to waive any condition or irregularity in the tender of old notes by any holder.

Any waiver to the exchange offer will apply to all old notes tendered.

**Resales of New Notes** 

Based on existing SEC interpretations issued to third parties in unrelated transactions, we believe that the new notes will be freely transferable by holders (other than affiliates of us) after the registered exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the exchange notes is acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of its business, has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes and is not an affiliate of us, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC; <u>provided</u> that broker-dealers receiving new notes in the exchange offer will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such new notes. While the SEC has not taken a position with respect to this particular transaction, under existing SEC interpretations relating to transactions structured substantially like the exchange offer, participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to exchange notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment of the notes) with the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement. We will not seek our own interpretive letter. As a result, we cannot assure you that the staff will take the same position on this exchange offer as it did in interpretive letters to other parties in similar transactions.

By tendering old notes, the holder, other than participating broker-dealers, as defined below, of those old notes will represent to us that, among other things:

• the new notes acquired in the exchange offer are being obtained in the ordinary course of business of the person
receiving the new notes, whether or not that person is the holder;

• neither the holder nor any other person receiving the new notes is engaged in, intends to engage in or has an
arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a "distribution" (as defined under the Securities Act) of the new notes; and

• neither the holder nor any other person receiving the new notes is an "affiliate" (as defined under
the Securities Act) of us.

If any holder or any such other person is an "affiliate" of us or is engaged in, intends to engage in or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a "distribution" of the new notes, such holder or other person:

• may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC referred to above; and

• must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with
any resale transaction.

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes must represent that the old notes to be exchanged for the new notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any offer to resell, resale or other retransfer of the new notes. Any such broker-dealer is referred to

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
as a "participating broker-dealer." However, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the participating broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" (as defined under the Securities Act). If a broker-dealer acquired old notes as a result of market-making or other trading activities, it may use this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, in connection with offers to resell, resales or retransfers of new notes received in exchange for the old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We have agreed that, starting on the expiration date of the exchange offer and ending on the close of business one year after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution" for a discussion of the exchange and resale obligations of broker-dealers in connection with the exchange offer.

**Withdrawal Rights** 

You can withdraw tenders of old notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

For a withdrawal to be effective, you must deliver a written notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent. The notice of withdrawal must:

• specify the name of the person tendering the old notes to be withdrawn;

• identify the old notes to be withdrawn, including the total principal amount of old notes to be withdrawn; and

• where certificates for old notes are transmitted, the name of the registered holder of the old notes if different
from the person withdrawing the old notes.

If you delivered or otherwise identified old notes to the exchange agent, you must submit the serial numbers of the old notes to be withdrawn and the signature on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible institution, except in the case of old notes tendered for the account of an eligible institution. If you tendered old notes as a book-entry transfer, the notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn old notes and you must deliver the notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent and otherwise comply with the procedures of the facility. You may not rescind withdrawals of tender; however, properly withdrawn old notes may again be tendered by following one of the procedures described under "—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes" above at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

We will determine all questions regarding the form of withdrawal, validity, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance of withdrawal notices. Our determination of these questions as well as our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer (including the letter of transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Neither us, any of our affiliates or assigns, the exchange agent nor any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any irregularities in any notice of withdrawal, nor will we be liable for failing to give any such notice.

Withdrawn old notes will be returned to the holder after withdrawal. In the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer through DTC, the old notes withdrawn or not exchanged will be credited to an account maintained with DTC. Any old notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to the holder.

**Conditions to the Exchange Offer** 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offer, we are not required to accept for exchange, or to issue new notes in exchange for, any old notes, and we may terminate or amend the exchange offer, if at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, we determine that:

• the new notes to be received will not be tradable by the holder without restriction under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
• we have not received all applicable governmental approvals;

• the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of old notes, would violate applicable law or any
applicable interpretation or policy of the staff of the SEC; or

• any action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency
with respect to the exchange offer that would reasonably be expected to impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer.

The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition, or we may waive the conditions, completely or partially, whenever or as many times as we choose, in our reasonable discretion. The foregoing rights are not deemed waived because we fail to exercise them, but continue in effect, and we may still assert them whenever or as many times as we choose. However, any such condition, other than any involving government approval, must be satisfied or waived before the expiration of the offer. If we determine that a waiver of conditions materially changes the exchange offer, the prospectus will be amended or supplemented, and the exchange offer extended, if appropriate, as described under "—Terms of the Exchange Offer."

In addition, at a time when any stop order is threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or with respect to the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, we will not accept for exchange any old notes tendered, and no new notes will be issued in exchange for any such old notes.

If we terminate or suspend the exchange offer based on a determination that the exchange offer violates applicable law or SEC policy, the registration rights agreement requires that we, as promptly as practicable after such determination (but in no event more than 60 days after so required or requested pursuant to the registration rights agreement), file a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the old notes, and thereafter use our reasonable best efforts to cause such shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 60 days after the filing thereof. See "—Registration Rights and Additional Interest on the Old Notes."

**Exchange Agent** 

We have appointed U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association) as exchange agent for the exchange offer. You should direct questions and requests for assistance and for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent by telephone at (800) 934-6802 or the following address:

By Mail, Overnight Courier or Hand:

U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association

111 Fillmore Avenue

St. Paul, MN 55107-1402

Attn: Specialized Finance

Fax: (651) 466-7367

If you deliver letters of transmittal and any other required documents to an address or facsimile number other than those listed above, your tender is invalid.

**Fees and Expenses** 

The registration rights agreement provides that we will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of our obligations relating to the registration of the new notes and the conduct of the exchange offer. These expenses include registration and filing fees, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others. We will

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding this prospectus and related documents to their clients that are holders of old notes and for handling or tendering for such clients.

We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not pay any fee or commission to any broker, dealer, nominee or other person, other than the exchange agent, for soliciting tenders of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

**Transfer Taxes** 

Holders who tender their old notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the exchange. If, however, new notes issued in the exchange offer are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the holder of the old notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes in connection with the exchange offer, then the holder must pay any such transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or on any other person.

**Accounting Treatment** 

The new notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the old notes with the exception of any incremental deferred costs. Accordingly, Crown will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes for the exchange transaction. Crown intends to amortize the expenses of the exchange offer and issuance of the old notes over the term of the new notes.

**Registration Rights and Additional Interest on the Old Notes** 

If:

• applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not permit us to effect the exchange offer contemplated by
this prospectus; or

• for any other reason this exchange offer is not completed within 360 days from the issue date of the old notes;
or

• prior to the 20th day following consummation of this exchange offer:

• any initial purchaser so requests with respect to old notes not eligible to be exchanged for new notes in this
exchange offer and that are held by it following consummation of this exchange offer;

• any holder of old notes notifies us that it is not eligible to participate in this exchange offer; or

• an initial purchaser notifies us that it will not or did not receive freely tradable new notes in exchange for
old notes constituting any portion of an unsold allotment,

we will, subject to certain conditions, at our cost:

• as promptly as practicable but no later than the deadline provided for in the registration rights agreement, file
a shelf registration statement covering resales of the old notes or the new notes, as the case may be;

• use our reasonable best efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective under the
Securities Act no later than the deadline provided for in the registration rights agreement; and

• keep the shelf registration statement effective until the earliest of (1) one year from the effective date
of the shelf registration statement and (2) the date on which all notes registered thereunder have been sold in accordance therewith.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
If:

• within 360 days from the issue date of the old notes, this exchange offer has not been completed; or

• the shelf registration statement (if required) has not been filed by the deadline provided for in the
registration rights agreement or has not been declared effective by the deadline provided for in the registration rights agreement; or

• after the shelf registration statement has been declared effective, such registration statement thereafter ceases
to be effective at any time prior to the one year anniversary of its effective date before all notes covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold (each such event is referred to as a registration default),

then additional interest will accrue on the old notes (in addition to the stated interest on the old notes) from and including the date on which any such registration default has occurred to but excluding the date on which all registration defaults have been cured. Additional interest will accrue at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any registration default and will increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event will such rate exceed 1.00% per annum in the aggregate regardless of the number of registration defaults.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES** 

**General** 

Crown Americas LLC ("Crown Americas" and the "Issuer") issued the old notes and will issue the new notes (collectively, the "Notes") under an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of May 27, 2025, among the Issuer, the Guarantors (as defined below) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association) as trustee (the "Trustee").

For purposes of this "Description of the Notes," references to "Crown Americas" are references to Crown Americas LLC and not any of its Subsidiaries. The definitions of certain other terms used in the following summary are set forth below under "—Certain Definitions."

The terms of the new notes are the same as the terms of the old notes, except that:

• the new notes will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

• the new notes will not bear restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act;

• holders of the new notes are not entitled to certain rights under the registration rights agreement; and

• the new notes will not contain provisions relating to increased interest rates in connection with the old notes
under circumstances related to timing of the exchange offer.

The following is a summary of certain material provisions of the Indenture. This summary is not necessarily complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. You should read the Indenture because it, and not this summary, will define your rights as a Holder of the Notes. A copy of the Indenture has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit 4.1 of the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated May 28, 2025, and is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

**Principal, Maturity and Interest** 

In the exchange offer contemplated by this prospectus (the "Offering"), the Issuer will issue up to $700 million aggregate principal amount of Notes under the Indenture. The Issuer may issue additional Notes in an unlimited amount (the "Additional Notes") from time to time under the Indenture. However, no offering of any Additional Notes is being or shall in any manner be deemed to be made by this prospectus. The Notes and any Additional Notes of the same series issued under the same Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture.

The Notes will mature on June 1, 2033. Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 5.875% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2025, to Holders of record on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the issue date of the old notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprising twelve 30-day months, and in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed. The redemption price at final maturity for the Notes will be 100% of their principal amount.

Principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the State of New York (the "Paying Agent") or St. Paul, Minnesota, or such other corporate office of the Trustee that has been designated for such purpose, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes; <u>provided</u> that if any Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent at least 15 days prior to the payment date, all

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes held by such Holder will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by such Holder. Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or its Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, is designated as such office or agency of the Issuer. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders, and Parent or any of the Subsidiaries may act as a Paying Agent or registrar.

The Notes will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

**Ranking and Guarantees** 

The Notes will be the senior obligations of the Issuer, ranking *pari passu* in right of payment with all other existing and future senior obligations of the Issuer, including obligations under other unsubordinated Indebtedness. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future obligations of the Issuer that are secured by Liens on any property or assets of the Issuer, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations, and will rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of the Issuer that are, by their terms, subordinated in right of payment to the Notes.

The Issuer's obligations under the Notes and the Indenture will be unconditionally Guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Parent and each of Parent's present and future Domestic Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer and the Subsidiaries identified in the following paragraph) that from time to time are obligors under or Guarantee any Credit Facility including, without limitation, the Existing Credit Facility.

The old notes are, and the new notes will be, Guaranteed by Parent and each of Parent's Domestic Subsidiaries, (other than the Issuer, Crown Americas Capital Corp., Crown Americas Capital Corp. V and Crown Americas Capital Corp. VI). The Notes will not be Guaranteed by any of Parent's Foreign Subsidiaries.

Each Note Guarantee will be a senior obligation of the respective Guarantor, ranking *pari passu* in right of payment with all other senior obligations of such Guarantor, including obligations under other unsubordinated Indebtedness. Each Note Guarantee will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future obligations of such Guarantor secured by Liens on any property or assets of such Guarantor, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations, and will rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of such Guarantor that are, by their terms, subordinated in right of payment to the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor.

The Notes will be effectively subordinated to the obligations of non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The Guarantors will Guarantee the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.

A Note Guarantee of a Guarantor (other than Parent) will be unconditionally released and discharged upon any of the following:

• any Transfer (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation or merger) by Parent or any Subsidiary to
any Person that is not Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent of all of the Equity Interests of, or all or substantially all of the properties and assets of, such Guarantor;

• any Transfer directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation or merger) by Parent
or any Subsidiary to any Person that is not Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent of Equity Interests of such Guarantor or any issuance by such Guarantor of its Equity Interests, such that such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of Parent; <u>provided</u> that such Guarantor is also released from all of its obligations in respect of Indebtedness under each Credit Facility;

• the release of such Guarantor from all obligations of such Guarantor in respect of Indebtedness under each Credit
Facility, except to the extent such Guarantor is otherwise required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees"; or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
• upon the contemporaneous release or discharge of all Guarantees by such Guarantor which would have required such
Guarantor to guarantee the Notes pursuant to the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees".

Except as provided under "—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets," a Note Guarantee of Parent may be released and discharged only with the consent of each Holder of Notes to which such Note Guarantee relates.

No such release or discharge of a Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be effective against the Trustee or the Holders of Notes to which such Note Guarantee relates (i) if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Indenture as of the time of such proposed release until such time as such Default or Event of Default is cured or waived (unless such release is in connection with the sale of the Equity Interests in such Guarantor constituting collateral for a Credit Facility in connection with the exercise of remedies against such Equity Interests or in connection with a Transfer permitted by the Indenture if, but for the existence of such Default or Event of Default, such Subsidiary would otherwise be entitled to be released from its Note Guarantee following the sale of such Equity Interests) and (ii) until the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an officers' certificate, upon which the Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to rely, stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to such transactions have been complied with and that such release and discharge is authorized and permitted under the Indenture. At the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument evidencing such release.

By its terms, the Guarantee of each Subsidiary Guarantor will limit the liability of each such Guarantor to the maximum amount it can pay without its Note Guarantee being deemed a fraudulent transfer. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the New Notes—The new notes and the new note guarantees may be voidable, subordinated or limited in scope under insolvency, fraudulent transfer, corporate or other laws."

**Optional Redemption** 

On or after June 1, 2028, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following redemption prices, expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on June 1 of any year set forth below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Year** | **Percentage** |
| 2028 | 102.938% |
| 2029 | 101.469% |
|  2030 and thereafter | 100.000% |

---

Prior to June 1, 2028, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable redemption date, plus the Make-Whole Premium (a "Make-Whole Redemption"). The Indenture will provide that with respect to any such redemption the Issuer will notify the Trustee of the Make-Whole Premium with respect to the Notes promptly after the calculation and the Trustee will not be responsible for verifying or otherwise for such calculation. Any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer's discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or prior to June 1, 2028, the Issuer, on one or more occasions, may, at its option, redeem up to 40% in aggregate principal amount of Notes (including Additional Notes) originally issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 105.875% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by Parent to the extent that the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of Crown Americas or are used to subscribe from Crown Americas' shares of its Qualified Capital Stock;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
 *provided* that (1) at least 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes) originally issued under the Indenture remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption and (2) such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of any such Equity Offering.

Any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer's discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent.

In addition, the Issuer may acquire Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

**Selection and Notice Regarding Notes** 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of such Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes to be redeemed are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a *pro rata* basis (or if the Notes are held through DTC (as defined below) and if the procedures of DTC at such time do not permit *pro rata* redemptions, then by lot or by such other method consistent with the procedures of DTC that the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and reasonable); <u>provided</u> that no Notes with a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notice of redemption shall be mailed electronically or by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. Redemption amounts shall only be paid upon presentation and surrender of any such Notes to be redeemed.

Any redemption and notice thereof pursuant to the Indenture may, in the Issuer's discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

**Mandatory Redemption** 

Except as set forth below under "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders," the Issuer are not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

**Repurchase at the Option of Holders** 

***Change of Control Repurchase Events***

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer") at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to but excluding the purchase date (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer's option, prior to the consummation of such Change of Control Repurchase Event but after the public announcement thereof, the Issuer will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the purchase date specified in such notice (which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as required by law) (the "*Change of Control Payment Date*") pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. Such obligation will not continue after a discharge of the Issuer or defeasance from their obligations with respect to the Notes. See "—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance."

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof (in minimum amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of
all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee all Notes so accepted together with an officers'
certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof) being purchased by the Issuer.

The Paying Agent will promptly remit to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder of Notes a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; <u>provided</u> that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this covenant by virtue thereof.

Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Indenture will not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the Notes to require that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to Parent or the Issuer.

The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture with respect to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the Indenture as described above under the caption "—Optional Redemption," unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control Repurchase Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control Repurchase Event at the time the Change of Control Offer is made and such Change of Control Offer is otherwise made in compliance with the provisions of this covenant.

The Existing Credit Facility and other existing Indebtedness of Parent and its Subsidiaries contain, and their future Indebtedness may contain, prohibitions on the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a Change of Control Repurchase Event or require the repayment or repurchase of such Indebtedness upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event. Moreover, the exercise by the Holders of their right to require the Issuer to repurchase the Notes could cause a default under the Existing Credit Facility and/or such Indebtedness, even if the Change of Control Repurchase Event itself does not. Finally, the Issuer's ability to pay cash to the Holders of Notes following the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event may be limited by its then-existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases and there can be no assurance that the Issuer would be able to obtain financing to make such repurchases. The Issuer's failure to purchase the Notes in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event would result in a Default under the Indenture which could, in turn, constitute a default under such other Indebtedness.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The existence of a Holder's right to require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event may deter a third party from acquiring Parent or the Issuer in a transaction that constitutes a Change of Control Repurchase Event. The definition of "Change of Control" includes a phrase relating to the transfer of "all or substantially all" of the assets of Parent and its 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 the Issuer to repurchase its Notes as a result of a transfer of less than all of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person may be uncertain.

**Certain Covenants** 

Set forth below are summaries of certain covenants contained in the Indenture:

***Limitation on Liens***

The Indenture provides that Parent will not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur or assume any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any Principal Property or upon the Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any of its Principal Property Subsidiaries, in each case to secure Indebtedness of Parent, any Subsidiary of Parent or any other Person, without securing the Notes (together with, at the option of Parent, any other Indebtedness of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent ranking equally in right of payment with the Notes) equally and ratably with or, at the option of Parent, prior to, such other Indebtedness for so long as such other Indebtedness is so secured. Any Lien that is granted to secure the Notes under this covenant shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes under this covenant.

(a) the Indebtedness secured by such Lien was not incurred in contemplation of such merger, combination, amalgamation, consolidation, acquisition or transaction in which Person becomes a Subsidiary of Parent and (b) such Lien extends only
to the Capital Stock and assets of such Person (and Subsidiaries of such Person) and/or to property other than Principal Property or the Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any Subsidiary of Parent;

(3) Liens securing Indebtedness in favor of Parent and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries;

restrictions on the use of real property or other minor irregularities in title (including leasehold title) that do not (i) secure Indebtedness or (ii) in the aggregate materially impair the value or marketability of the real property
affected thereby or the occupation, use and enjoyment in the ordinary course of business of Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries at such real property and (b) with respect to leasehold interests in real property, mortgages, obligations, liens

***Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions***

The Indenture provides that Parent will not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any arrangement with any other Person pursuant to which Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries leases any Principal Property that has been or is to be sold or transferred by Parent or the Restricted Subsidiary to such other Person (a "*Sale and Leaseback Transaction*"), except that a Sale and Leaseback Transaction is permitted if Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Principal Property to be leased, without equally and ratably securing the Notes, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction.

In addition, the following Sale and Leaseback Transactions are not subject to the limitation above and the provisions described in "—Limitation on Liens" above:

case may be) or the Person to which such Transfer has been made assumes all the obligations of Parent, the Issuer or such Subsidiary under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental
indenture or amendment of the relevant documents; and

(3) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following shall be permitted:

Upon any consolidation, combination or merger of Parent, the Issuer or any other Guarantor, or any Transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent or the Issuer in accordance with the foregoing, in which Parent, the Issuer or such Guarantor is not the continuing obligor under the Notes or its related Note Guarantee, the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or into which Parent, the Issuer or such Guarantor is merged or to which the Transfer is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of Parent, the Issuer or such Guarantor under the Indenture, Notes and Note Guarantees with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named therein as Parent, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, and, except in the case of a Transfer to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, Parent, such Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on such Notes or in respect of its related Note Guarantee, as the case may be, and all of Parent's, the Issuer's or such Guarantor's, as the case may be, other obligations and covenants under the Notes, the Indenture and its related Note Guarantee, if applicable.

***Additional Note Guarantees***

***Reports***

The Indenture provides that, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "*SEC*"), so long as any Notes are outstanding thereunder, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee and Holders the following:

(1) all quarterly and annual financial information of Parent that would be required to be contained in a filing
with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if Parent were required to file such Forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" that describes the financial condition and results of operations of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by Parent's certified independent
accountants; and

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if Parent were required to file such reports,

in each case, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations. The Issuer may satisfy its obligation to deliver the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above by filing the same with the SEC.

In addition, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, Parent will file a copy of all such information and reports with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Issuer and the Guarantors will, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, furnish to the Holders of such Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. The Issuer will comply with the provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

Delivery of such reports and information to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee's receipt of them shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein (including the Issuer's compliance with any of its covenants under the Indenture as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer's Certificate).

**No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders** 

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Parent or of any Subsidiary of Parent, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

**Events of Default and Remedies** 

The Indenture provides that each of the following constitutes an "*Event of Default*":

(1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest with respect to the Notes issued thereunder;

(2) default in payment when due of principal or premium, if any, on the Notes issued thereunder at maturity, upon
redemption or otherwise;

(3) failure by Parent or any Subsidiary for 30 days after receipt of notice from the Trustee or Holders of at least
25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding under the Indenture to comply with the provisions described under "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control Repurchase Events";

(4) failure by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent for 60 days after receipt of notice from the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding under the Indenture to comply with any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture (other than the covenants and agreements specified in clauses (1) through (3) of
this paragraph);

(5) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be
secured or evidenced any Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is Guaranteed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists or is created after the issue date of the old
notes, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay when due at final stated maturity (giving effect to any grace period related thereto) principal of such Indebtedness (a "*Payment Default*") or (b) results in the
acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the
maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $75.0 million or more; and, in each case, Parent has received notice specifying the default from the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then
outstanding and does not cure the default within 30 days;

(6) failure by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to pay final judgments (net of any amounts covered by insurance
and as to which such insurer has not denied responsibility or coverage in writing) aggregating $75.0 million or more, which judgments are not paid, discharged, bonded or stayed within 60 days after their entry;

(7) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to Parent, the Issuer or any other Subsidiary of Parent
that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Subsidiaries of Parent that, together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; and

(8) any Note Guarantee of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect
(other than in accordance with the terms of such Note Guarantee and the Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Note Guarantee (other than by reason of release
of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Note Guarantee).

If any Event of Default under the Indenture occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding under the Indenture may declare all Notes issued under the Indenture to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee, specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a "notice of acceleration" and the same shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (7) above with respect to Parent or the Issuer, all outstanding Notes then outstanding under the Indenture will become due and payable without any declaration, further action or notice. The Holders of any Notes may not enforce the Indenture relating to the Notes or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes issued under the Indenture may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding under the Indenture, by written notice to the Trustee, may (subject to certain conditions) on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes issued under the Indenture waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium on, or principal of, such Notes. The Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the Holders' interest.

The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a certificate regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer are required, within five (5) business days after an executive officer of the Issuer becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

**Satisfaction and Discharge** 

The Indenture will be discharged and will, subject to certain surviving provisions, cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued thereunder when:

(1) The Issuer deliver to the Trustee all outstanding Notes issued under the Indenture (other than Notes replaced
because of mutilation, loss, destruction or wrongful taking) for cancellation; or

(2) all Notes outstanding under the Indenture (I) have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a
result of the mailing of a notice of redemption as described above, or (II) will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving
of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor irrevocably deposits with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars,
noncallable U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof, sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Notes outstanding under the Indenture, including interest thereon, and if in either case the Issuer or any Guarantor pays all
other sums payable under the Indenture by it. The Trustee will acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an officers' certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, upon which the Trustee shall have
no liability in relying, stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied and that such satisfaction and discharge does not result in a default under any agreement or instrument then known to such counsel which
binds or affects the Issuer. The Trustee will acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an officers' certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in
relying, stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied and at the cost and expense of the Issuer.

**Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance** 

The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to the Notes outstanding under the Indenture ("Legal Defeasance"), except for:

(1) the rights of the Holders of the Notes outstanding under the Indenture to receive payments in respect of the
principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

(2) the Issuer's obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of
Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer's obligations in
connection therewith; and

(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs under the Indenture, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under the caption "—Events of Default and Remedies" will no longer constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under the Indenture:

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes
issued under the Indenture, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants (such opinion shall be delivered to the Trustee and upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying), to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes outstanding under the Indenture on the
stated maturity date or on the applicable optional redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the
United States (upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying) confirming that (a) the Issuer have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of the Indenture,
there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Notes outstanding under the Indenture will not recognize income,
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not
occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the
United States (upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying) confirming that the Holders of the Notes outstanding under the Indenture will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a
Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of
deposit;

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
default under any material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(6) the Issuer must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (upon which the Trustee shall have no
liability in relying) to the effect that assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the Issuer or any Guarantor between the date of deposit and the 91st day following the deposit and assuming that no Holder is an "insider" of the Issuer under
applicable bankruptcy law, after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally;

(7) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate (upon which the Trustee shall have no
liability in relying) stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Notes issued under the Indenture over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuer or others; and

(8) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an Opinion of Counsel upon which the
Trustee shall have no liability in relying, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

**Transfer and Exchange** 

A Holder of Notes may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The registrar and Trustee may require a Holder of Notes, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer or the Trustee may require a Holder of Notes to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of fifteen (15) days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

**Amendment, Supplement and Waiver** 

Except to the extent provided in the next three succeeding paragraphs, the Indenture, the Notes governed thereby or any Note Guarantee issued thereunder may be amended with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes issued under the Indenture voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, tender offer or exchange offer for Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes governed thereby or any Note Guarantee issued thereunder may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes issued under the Indenture voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, tender offer or exchange offer for Notes).

Except as provided in the immediately succeeding paragraph, without the consent of each Holder of Notes issued under the Indenture affected thereby, however, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Note held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture whose Holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the principal amount of or change the fixed maturity date of any Notes, or alter the provisions with
respect to the redemption of any such Notes other than, except as set forth in clause (7) below, the provisions relating to the covenant described under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders"; <u>provided</u> that the notice period for redemption of the Notes may be reduced to not less than three (3) Business Days with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
if a notice of redemption which remains outstanding has not prior thereto been sent to such Holders;

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any such Notes;

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any such
Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes issued under the Indenture and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such
acceleration);

"*Voting Stock*" means any class or classes of Capital Stock pursuant to which the holders thereof have power to vote in the election of directors, managers or trustees of any Person (irrespective of whether or not, at the time, stock of any other class or classes shall have, or might have, voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency).

"*Wholly Owned Subsidiary*" of any Person means a Subsidiary of such Person all of the outstanding Capital Stock or other ownership interests of which (other than directors' qualifying shares) shall at the time be owned by such Person or by one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of such Person or by such Person and one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of such Person.

**Certain Bankruptcy and Fraudulent Transfer Limitations** 

Fraudulent transfer, insolvency and administrative laws may void, subordinate or limit the Notes and Note Guarantees and may otherwise limit your ability to enforce your rights under the Notes and the Note Guarantees.

Under U.S. federal bankruptcy laws or comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, the issuance of the Guarantees by Parent and the Guarantors could be voided, or claims in respect of such obligations could be subordinated to all of their other debts and other liabilities, if, among other things, at the time Parent and/or the Guarantors issued the related Guarantees, or potentially the Guarantees of the old notes, Parent or the applicable Guarantor intended to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor; or received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such indebtedness and either:

• was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

• was engaged in a business or transaction for which Parent's or such Guarantor's remaining assets
constituted unreasonably small capital; or

• intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

The measures of insolvency for purposes of the foregoing considerations will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding with respect to the foregoing. Generally, however, Parent or a Guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

• the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the saleable value of all of its assets;

• the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable
liabilities on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

• it could not pay its debts as they become due.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
By its terms, the Guarantee of each Guarantor will limit the liability of each such Guarantor to the maximum amount it can pay without the Guarantee being deemed a fraudulent transfer. Parent believes that immediately after the issuance of the Notes by the Issuer and the issuance of the Guarantees by the Guarantors, Parent and each of the Guarantors will be solvent, will have sufficient capital to carry on its respective business and will be able to pay its respective debts as they mature. However, a court may not apply these standards in making its determinations and a court may not reach the same conclusions with regard to these issues. In an evidentiary ruling in In re W.R. Grace & Co., the federal bankruptcy court for the District of Delaware held that under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, whether a transferor is insolvent or is rendered insolvent depends on the actual liabilities of the transferor, and not what the transferor knows about such liabilities at the time of the transfer. Therefore, under that court's analysis, liabilities that are unknown, or that are known to exist but whose magnitude is not fully appreciated at the time of the transfer, may be taken into account in the context of a future determination of insolvency. If the principle articulated by that court is upheld, it would make it very difficult to know whether a transferor is solvent at the time of transfer, and would increase the risk that a transfer may in the future be found to be a fraudulent conveyance.

If a bankruptcy proceeding were to be commenced under the federal bankruptcy laws by or against Parent or any other Guarantor, it is likely that delays will occur in any payment upon acceleration of the Notes and in enforcing remedies under the applicable Indenture, because of specific provisions of such laws or by a court applying general principles of equity. Provisions under federal bankruptcy laws or general principles of equity that could result in the impairment of your rights include, but are not limited to:

• the automatic stay;

• avoidance of preferential transfers by a trustee or debtor-in-possession;

• substantive consolidation;

• limitations on collectibility of unmatured interest or attorney fees;

• fraudulent conveyance; and

• forced restructuring of the Notes, including reduction of principal amounts and interest rates and extension of
maturity dates, over the holders' objections.

**Book-Entry; Delivery and Form** 

The certificates representing the old notes have been, and in the case of the new notes will be issued, in fully registered form without interest coupons and represented by one or more global notes in fully registered form without interest coupons (each, a "Global Note") deposited with the Trustee as a custodian for The Depositary Trust Company ("*DTC*") and registered in the name of a nominee DTC.

Old notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") were initially represented by permanent global notes in fully registered form without interest coupons (each, a "Restricted Global Note") and were deposited with the Trustee as a custodian for DTC and registered in the name of a nominee of such depositary.

Old notes sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act were initially represented by temporary global notes in fully registered form without interest coupons (each, a "Temporary Regulation S Global Note") and were deposited with the Trustee as custodian for DTC, as depositary, and registered in the name of a nominee of such depositary. Each Temporary Regulation S Global Note was exchangeable for a single permanent global note after the expiration of the "distribution compliance period" (as defined in Regulation S) and the certification required by Regulation S. Prior to such time, a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note was transferable in the form of an interest in the Restricted Global Note only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made to a person whom the transferor reasonably believes is a "qualified institutional buyer" (as defined in

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Rule 144A) ("QIB") in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A. Beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note were transferable in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note whether before, on or after such time, only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S.

Any beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note or a Restricted Global Note (each a, "Transferrable Note") that was transferred in the form of an interest in a Restricted Global Note or a Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, upon transfer, ceased to be an interest in the type of Transferrable Note previously held and became an interest in the other type of Transferrable Note and, accordingly, thereafter became subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other type of Transferrable Note for as long as it remained such an interest.

***The Global Notes***

We expect that pursuant to procedures established by DTC (i) upon the issuance of the Global Notes, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its internal system, the principal amount at maturity of the individual beneficial interests represented by such Global Notes to the respective accounts of persons who have accounts with such depositary and (ii) ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). Such accounts initially will be designated by or on behalf of the initial purchasers and ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC ("participants") or persons who hold interests through participants. Holders may hold their interests in the Global Notes directly through DTC if they are participants in such system, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such system.

So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of the new notes, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the new notes represented by such Global Notes for all purposes under the Indenture. No beneficial owner of an interest in the Global Notes will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC's procedures, in addition to those provided for under the Indenture with respect to the new notes.

Payments of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on, the Global Notes will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. None of the Issuer, the Trustee or any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interest.

The Issuer expects that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Global Notes, will credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Notes as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. The Issuer also expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.

Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way through DTC's same-day funds system in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same day funds. If a holder requires physical delivery of a Certificated Security for any reason, including to sell notes to persons in states which require physical delivery of the notes, or to pledge such securities, such holder must transfer its interest in a Global Note, in accordance with the normal procedures of DTC and with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

DTC has advised the Issuer that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of Notes (including the presentation of Notes for exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
account the DTC interests in the Global Notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Global Notes, DTC will exchange the Global Notes for Certificated Securities, which it will distribute to its participants.

DTC has advised the Issuer as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a "Clearing Agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly ("*indirect participants*").

Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

***Certificated Securities***

Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the Global Notes (i) if requested by a holder of such interests or (ii) if DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days.

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

This section describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of exchanging the old notes for the new notes pursuant to this exchange offer, and of owning and disposing of the new notes. It applies to you only if you acquire new notes in this exchange offer and you hold the new notes as capital assets (generally, held for investment) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, including, but not limited to:

• a dealer in securities or currencies,

• a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings,

• a bank or other financial institution,

• a regulated investment company or real estate investment trust,

• a life insurance company,

• a tax-exempt entity,

• an S corporation or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and
investors therein),

• an individual who is a former citizen or long-term resident of the United States,

• a person that owns new notes that are a hedge or that are hedged against interest rate risks,

• a person that owns new notes as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for U.S. federal income tax
purposes,

• a person subject to the alternative minimum tax,

• a person required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to the notes as a result
of such income being taken into account on an applicable financial statement,

• "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies," and
corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax,

• a U.S. holder (as defined below) that holds notes through a non-U.S. broker or other non-U.S. intermediary, or

• a U.S. holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

**YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU ARISING FROM THE EXCHANGE OF OLD NOTES FOR NEW NOTES PURSUANT TO THIS EXCHANGE OFFER AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF NEW NOTES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS, ANY U.S. STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS AND ANY PROPOSED CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.** 

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

This section (i) does not address U.S. federal tax consequences other than income tax consequences, such as estate and gift tax consequences and alternative minimum tax consequences, (ii) does not cover all tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder in light of such holder's personal circumstances, and (iii) does not address any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
This section is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code ("U.S. Treasury Regulations"), published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect, all of which are subject to change, or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis. Crown Americas is not seeking a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding the tax consequences of the ownership, or exchange of the new

notes. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not successfully challenge one or more of the conclusions stated herein.

If an entity or arrangement taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds the new notes, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the particular partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes considering an investment in the new notes should consult their tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of holding the new notes indirectly through ownership of their partnership interests.

Holders that use an accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally are required to include certain amounts in income no later than the time such amounts are reflected on certain applicable financial statements. The application of this rule may require the accrual of income earlier than would be the case under the general U.S. federal income tax rules described below. Holders that use an accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult with their tax advisors regarding the potential applicability of this rule to their particular situation. The remainder of this discussion does not address the application of the foregoing rule.

**Payments Subject to Certain Contingencies** 

In certain circumstances, Crown Americas may be obligated to pay holders amounts in excess of the stated interest and principal payable on the new notes or in advance of their scheduled payment dates. The obligation to make such payments may implicate the provisions of U.S. Treasury Regulations relating to "contingent payment debt instruments." If the new notes were deemed to be contingent payment debt instruments, holders might, among other things, be required to treat any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of a new note as ordinary income rather than as capital gain, and the timing and amount of income inclusion may be different from the consequences discussed herein. Crown Americas intends to take the position that the likelihood that such payments will be made is remote and/or that such payments will be incidental in the aggregate, and therefore the new notes are not subject to the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments.

This determination will be binding on a holder unless such holder explicitly discloses on a statement attached to such holder's timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year that includes the acquisition date of the new note that such holder's determination is different. It is possible, however, that the IRS may take a contrary position from that described above, in which case the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a holder could differ materially and adversely from those described below. The remainder of this disclosure assumes that the new notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.

**Exchange Offer** 

Whether you are a U.S. holder or a non-U.S. holder (each as defined below), exchanging an old note for a new note will not be treated as a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Consequently, you will not recognize gain or loss upon receipt of a new note. Your holding period for a new note will include the holding period for the old note and your initial basis in the new note will be the same as your adjusted basis in the old note.

**U.S. Holders** 

This subsection describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder. You are a U.S. holder if you are a beneficial owner of a new note and you are for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States,

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
• a corporation (including an 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,

• an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or

• a trust if (x) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one
or more United States persons (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code) are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) it has a valid election in effect under the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as
a United States person.

***Taxation of Stated Interest***

You generally will be taxed on payments of stated interest on your new note as ordinary income at the time you receive the interest or when it accrues, depending on your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

***Sale, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes***

Your adjusted tax basis in a new note generally will be the same as your adjusted basis in the old note exchanged therefor. You will generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of your new note equal to the difference between the amount you realize on such disposition (excluding any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid stated interest, which will be taxed as ordinary income to the extent not previously includible in income) and your adjusted tax basis in your new note. Your adjusted tax basis in your new note will be the same as the adjusted basis in the old note exchanged therefor. Capital gain of a noncorporate U.S. holder is generally eligible for reduced tax rates where the property is held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code.

***Additional Tax on Net Investment Income***

Certain non-corporate U.S. holders are subject to a 3.8% tax, in addition to regular tax on income and gains, on some or all of their "net investment income," which generally will include interest on a new note and any net gain recognized upon a disposition of a new note. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of this tax in respect of their new notes.

**Non-U.S. Holders** 

You are a non-U.S. holder if you are a beneficial owner of a new note that is an individual, corporation, trust or estate for U.S. federal income tax purposes and you are not a U.S. holder.

***Taxation of Stated Interest***

Subject to the discussion below of backup withholding and FATCA (as defined below), if you are a non-U.S. holder of a new note and the interest paid on the new note is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, the applicable withholding agent generally will not be required to deduct a U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate (or, if applicable, a lower income tax treaty rate) if:

• you do not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock
of Crown Americas entitled to vote;

• you are not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to Crown Americas through stock ownership;

• you are not a bank receiving the interest pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in your ordinary course of
business; and

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
• you have furnished to such agent an IRS Form W-8BEN, an IRS Form W-8BEN-E or an acceptable substitute form certifying that you are not a United States person to (1) the applicable withholding agent, (2) a securities clearing
organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business and holds the note on your behalf and certifies to the applicable withholding agent (directly or through one or
more similarly situated financial institutions) that it has received from you (or another financial institution) the IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E described above and provides a copy of such statement, or (3) a "qualified intermediary" (within the meaning of applicable Treasury
Regulations), provided that certain conditions are satisfied.

Except to the extent that an applicable income tax treaty otherwise provides, you generally will be taxed in the same manner as a U.S. holder with respect to interest if such interest income is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Effectively connected interest of a corporate non-U.S. holder may also, in some circumstances, be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate (or, if applicable, a lower income tax treaty rate). Even though such effectively connected interest may be subject to income tax, and may be subject to the branch profits tax, it is not subject to withholding tax (whether or not it is subject to income tax) if the owner delivers a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI to the applicable withholding agent.

***Sale, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition of the New Notes***

If you are a non-U.S. holder of a new note, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on gain realized on the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a new note (other than any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest which will be treated as discussed above) unless:

• the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, in which case
such gain will be taxable in the same manner as effectively connected interest as discussed above (except to the extent otherwise provided by an applicable income tax treaty), or

• you are an individual, you are present in the United States for 183 or more days during the taxable year in which
the gain is realized and certain other conditions exist, in which case you will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized (except to the extent otherwise provided by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset
by certain U.S. losses.

**Backup Withholding and Information Reporting** 

***U.S. Holders***

Information reporting on IRS Form 1099 will apply to payments of interest on, or the proceeds of the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition (including a redemption or retirement) of, the new notes with respect to certain non-corporate U.S. holders, and backup withholding may apply unless the recipient of such payments has supplied a taxpayer identification number, certified under penalties of perjury, as well as certain other information or otherwise established an exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against that holder's U.S. federal income tax liability provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

***Non-U.S. Holders***

Backup withholding and information reporting on IRS Form 1099 will not apply to payments of interest to a non-U.S. holder provided that the non-U.S. holder is the beneficial owner of new notes and certifies to the applicable withholding agent, under penalties of perjury, that it is not a United States person and provides its name and address on a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or a suitable substitute form).

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to a payment of the proceeds of a sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of the new notes effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a foreign broker. However, information reporting requirements (but not backup withholding) will apply to a payment of the proceeds of a sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of the new notes effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a broker if the broker (i) is a United States person, (ii) derives 50 percent or more of its gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (iii) is a "controlled foreign corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (iv) is a foreign partnership that, at any time during its taxable year is 50 percent or more (by income or capital interest) owned by United States persons or is engaged in the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, unless in any such case the broker has documentary evidence in its records that the holder is a non-U.S. holder and certain conditions are met, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Payment of the proceeds of a sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of new notes by a United States office of a broker will be subject to both backup withholding and information reporting unless the holder certifies its non-U.S. status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establishes an exemption.

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

***Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act***

Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), a 30 percent withholding tax may apply to certain types of payments made to "foreign financial institutions" (as specially defined in the Code) and certain other non-U.S. entities, including foreign financial institutions and other entities acting as an intermediary. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on interest on, and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, notes paid to a foreign financial institution or to a non-financial foreign entity, unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any substantial United States owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause (1) above, then, pursuant to an agreement between it and the U.S. Treasury or an intergovernmental agreement between, generally, the jurisdiction in which it is resident and the U.S. Treasury, it must, among other things, identify accounts held by certain United States persons or United States-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30 percent on payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders.

The withholding provisions described above generally apply to interest payments on the notes. Although existing FATCA regulations would also impose FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds from the sale or disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of the notes, under proposed regulations, no such withholding would apply to gross proceeds. Taxpayers generally may rely on those proposed regulations until final regulations are issued. Persons considering an investment in the notes should consult their tax advisors regarding FATCA and the regulations thereunder.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION** 

Under existing SEC interpretations, we expect that the new notes will be freely transferable by holders other than our affiliates after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the new notes represents that it is acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes and that it is not an affiliate of ours, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC; <u>provided</u> that broker-dealers receiving new notes in the exchange offer will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such new notes as discussed below. While the SEC has not taken a position with respect to this particular transaction, under existing SEC interpretations relating to transactions structured substantially like this exchange offer, participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to new notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment of the old notes) with the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement.

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, starting on the expiration date of the exchange offer and ending on the close of business one year after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until , 2026, all dealers effecting transactions in the new notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer or from any sale of new notes by brokers-dealers. New notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such new notes. Any broker-dealer that resells the new notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such new notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any such resale of new notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

For a period of one year after the expiration date of the exchange offer, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the holder of the old notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the old notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

**PART II** 

**INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS** 

**ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.** 

Sections 1741 and 1742 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the "BCL") provide that a corporation may indemnify its representatives (including directors and officers) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in such capacities, provided certain standards are met, including good faith and the reasonable belief that the particular action is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or, in a criminal proceeding, that such representatives had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In the case of actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation, the power to indemnify extends only to expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement, and such power generally does not exist if the person otherwise entitled to indemnification shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless it is judicially determined that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for specified expenses.

In addition, Section 1744 of the BCL provides that, unless ordered by a court, any indemnification referred to above shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made:

(1) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding;

(2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or if obtainable and a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

(3) by the shareholders.

Notwithstanding the above, under Section 1743 of the BCL, a corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in defending actions to which they are made a party by reason of their status as such if they are successful on the merits, or otherwise, in the defense of such actions.

Under Section 1745 of the BCL, a corporation may pay the expenses of a director or officer incurred in defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay the amounts advanced, if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification from the corporation.

Section 1746 of the BCL provides that the foregoing provisions shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under, among other things, any provision in the corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that no indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

Section 1747 of the BCL permits a Pennsylvania business corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions described above.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Sections 1748 and 1749 of the BCL extend the indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions to successor corporations in consolidations, mergers or divisions and to representatives serving as fiduciaries of employee benefit plans. Section 1750 of the BCL provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Subchapter D of Chapter 17 of Title 15 of the BCL, shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a representative of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representative of such person.

The Registrant's By-Laws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, against all liability, loss and expense (including attorney's fees and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding, whether or not the indemnified liability arises or arose from any proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant.

The Registrant's By-Laws also provide that expenses incurred by a person who is or was a director or officer in defending (or acting as a witness in) a proceeding shall be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, subject to the provisions of applicable law, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person who is or was a director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant under the Registrant's By-Laws or applicable law.

Additionally, the Registrant's By-Laws limit directors' personal liability for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, unless (a) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his or her office under Subchapter B of Chapter 17 of the BCL (relating to standard of care and justifiable reliance) and (b) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. However, these provisions do not apply to (a) the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or (b) the liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to local, state or federal law.

The Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance covering certain liabilities which may be incurred by the officers and directors of the Registrant in connection with the performance of their duties.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules:

**ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.** 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the
registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on
Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part
of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale
prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser in the initial distribution of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrants relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants or
used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about
the undersigned registrants or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by
reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information
contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information
concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Re: Form S-4 Registration Statement (Reg. No. 333-)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Crown Holdings, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), Crown Americas LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (the "Issuer"), and the guarantors listed on Schedule A hereto (together with the Company, the "Guarantors") in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-) filed by the Issuer and the Guarantors on the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), as amended (the "Registration Statement"). Upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Issuer and the Guarantors propose to offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") an aggregate principal amount of up to $700,000,000 of the Issuer's 5.875% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "New Notes"), and the guarantees thereof by the Guarantors (the "New Guarantees"), registered under the Securities Act for an equal aggregate principal amount of the Issuer's outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "Old Notes"), and the guarantees thereof by the Guarantors (the "Old Guarantees"). The New Notes and the New Guarantees are to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, dated as of May 27, 2025, by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.u to the Registration Statement (the "Indenture").

This opinion is being furnished to the Issuer and the Guarantors in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter other than as to the legality of the New Notes and the New Guarantees.

We have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement and have made such legal and factual examination and inquiry as we have deemed advisable for the rendering of this opinion. In making our examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to all authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

------

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed that (a) the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Trustee, (b) the Registration Statement will have been declared effective by the Commission, (c) the Indenture will have been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and (d) the Old Notes have been, and the New Notes will have been, duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In addition, we have assumed that there will be no changes in applicable law between the date of this opinion and the date of issuance and delivery of the New Notes and the New Guarantees.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. When the New Notes have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered by or on behalf of the Issuer in exchange for the Old Notes in the manner contemplated by the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, then the New Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms.

2. When the New Notes have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered by or on behalf of the Issuer in exchange for the Old Notes in the manner contemplated by the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, and when the New Guarantees have been duly executed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, then the New Guarantees will constitute valid and binding obligations of each Guarantor enforceable against each Guarantor in accordance with their terms.

The opinions rendered above are limited by principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) that may limit the availability of certain rights and remedies and do not reflect the effect of bankruptcy (including preferences), insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, receivership, reorganization and other similar laws or decisions relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally or debtors' obligations generally.

We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision in any agreement or instrument that (a) requires or relates to payment of any interest at a rate or in an amount that a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or forfeiture, (b) relates to governing law and submission by the parties to the jurisdiction of one or more particular courts or (c) relates to waivers of rights or defenses or any indemnification or contribution provisions.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the laws of the United States, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New York that are applicable to securities of the type contemplated by the Indenture, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability or effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction (including without limitation the effect of such laws on the enforceability of the New Notes or the New Guarantees). We are not members of the bar of the State of Delaware, nor do we purport to be experts in the laws of the State of Delaware.

The opinions expressed herein are rendered to the Company and the Guarantors in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and for no other purpose.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name in the prospectus contained therein under the caption "Legal Matters." In giving such consent we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

**<u>Exhibit 1</u>**

**ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION** 

**OF U. S. BANK TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION** 

For the purpose of organizing an association (the "Association") to perform any lawful activities of national banks, the undersigned enter into the following Articles of Association:

**FIRST.** The title of this Association shall be U. S. Bank Trust Company, National Association.

**SECOND.** The main office of the Association shall be in the city of Portland, county of Multnomah, state of Oregon. The business of the Association will be limited to fiduciary powers and the support of activities incidental to the exercise of those powers. The Association may not expand or alter its business beyond that stated in this article without the prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.

**THIRD.** The board of directors of the Association shall consist of not less than five nor more than twenty-five persons, the exact number to be fixed and determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full board of directors or by resolution of a majority of the shareholders at any annual or special meeting thereof. Each director shall own common or preferred stock of the Association or of a holding company owning the Association, with an aggregate par, fair market, or equity value of not less than $1,000, as of either (i) the date of purchase, (ii) the date the person became a director, or (iii) the date of that person's most recent election to the board of directors, whichever is more recent. Any combination of common or preferred stock of the Association or holding company may be used.

Any vacancy in the board of directors may be filled by action of a majority of the remaining directors between meetings of shareholders. The board of directors may increase the number of directors up to the maximum permitted by law. Terms of directors, including directors selected to fill vacancies, shall expire at the next regular meeting of shareholders at which directors are elected, unless the directors resign or are removed from office. Despite the expiration of a director's term, the director shall continue to serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until there is a decrease in the number of directors and his or her position is eliminated.

Honorary or advisory members of the board of directors, without voting power or power of final decision in matters concerning the business of the Association, may be appointed by resolution of a majority of the full board of directors, or by resolution of shareholders at any annual or special meeting. Honorary or advisory directors shall not be counted to determined the number of directors of the Association or the presence of a quorum in connection with any board action, and shall not be required to own qualifying shares.

**FOURTH.** There shall be an annual meeting of the shareholders to elect directors and transact whatever other business may be brought before the meeting. It shall be held at the main office or any other convenient place the board of directors may designate, on the day of each year specified therefor in the Bylaws, or if that day falls on a legal holiday in the state in which the

------

Association is located, on the next following banking day. If no election is held on the day fixed or in the event of a legal holiday on the following banking day, an election may be held on any subsequent day within 60 days of the day fixed, to be designated by the board of directors, or, if the directors fail to fix the day, by shareholders representing two-thirds of the shares issued and outstanding. In all cases, at least 10 days' advance notice of the meeting shall be given to the shareholders by first-class mail.

In all elections of directors, the number of votes each common shareholder may cast will be determined by multiplying the number of shares he or she owns by the number of directors to be elected. Those votes may be cumulated and cast for a single candidate or may be distributed among two or more candidates in the manner selected by the shareholder. On all other questions, each common shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by him or her.

A director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the board of directors, its chairperson, or to the Association, which resignation shall be effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date.

A director may be removed by the shareholders at a meeting called to remove him or her, when notice of the meeting stating that the purpose or one of the purposes is to remove him or her is provided, if there is a failure to fulfill one of the affirmative requirements for qualification, or for cause; provided, however, that a director may not be removed if the number of votes sufficient to elect him or her under cumulative voting is voted against his or her removal.

**FIFTH.** The authorized amount of capital stock of the Association shall be 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the par value of ten dollars ($10) each; but said capital stock may be increased or decreased from time to time, according to the provisions of the laws of the United States. The Association shall have only one class of capital stock.

No holder of shares of the capital stock of any class of the Association shall have any preemptive or preferential right of subscription to any shares of any class of stock of the Association, whether now or hereafter authorized, or to any obligations convertible into stock of the Association, issued, or sold, nor any right of subscription to any thereof other than such, if any, as the board of directors, in its discretion, may from time to time determine and at such price as the board of directors may from time to time fix.

Transfers of the Association's stock are subject to the prior written approval of a federal depository institution regulatory agency. If no other agency approval is required, the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency must be obtained prior to any such transfers.

Unless otherwise specified in the Articles of Association or required by law, (1) all matters requiring shareholder action, including amendments to the Articles of Association must be approved by shareholders owning a majority voting interest in the outstanding voting stock, and (2) each shareholder shall be entitled to one vote per share.

------

Unless otherwise specified in the Articles of Association or required by law, all shares of voting stock shall be voted together as a class, on any matters requiring shareholder approval.

Unless otherwise provided in the Bylaws, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting is the close of business on the day before the first notice is mailed or otherwise sent to the shareholders, provided that in no event may a record date be more than 70 days before the meeting.

The Association, at any time and from time to time, may authorize and issue debt obligations, whether subordinated, without the approval of the shareholders. Obligations classified as debt, whether subordinated, which may be issued by the Association without the approval of shareholders, do not carry voting rights on any issue, including an increase or decrease in the aggregate number of the securities, or the exchange or reclassification of all or part of securities into securities of another class or series.

**SIXTH.** The board of directors shall appoint one of its members president of this Association and one of its members chairperson of the board and shall have the power to appoint one or more vice presidents, a secretary who shall keep minutes of the directors' and shareholders' meetings and be responsible for authenticating the records of the Association, and such other officers and employees as may be required to transact the business of this Association. A duly appointed officer may appoint one or more officers or assistant officers if authorized by the board of directors in accordance with the Bylaws.

The board of directors shall have the power to:

(1) Define the duties of the officers, employees, and agents of the Association.

(2) Delegate the performance of its duties, but not the responsibility for its duties, to the officers, employees,
and agents of the Association.

(3) Fix the compensation and enter employment contracts with its officers and employees upon reasonable terms and
conditions consistent with applicable law.

(4) Dismiss officers and employees.

(5) Require bonds from officers and employees and to fix the penalty thereof.

(6) Ratify written policies authorized by the Association's management or committees of the board.

(7) Regulate the manner any increase or decrease of the capital of the Association shall be made; provided that
nothing herein shall restrict the power of shareholders to increase or decrease the capital of the Association in accordance with law, and nothing shall raise or lower from two-thirds the percentage required
for shareholder approval to increase or reduce the capital.

------

(8) Manage and administer the business and affairs of the Association.

(9) Adopt initial Bylaws, not inconsistent with law or the Articles of Association, for managing the business and
regulating the affairs of the Association.

(10) Amend or repeal Bylaws, except to the extent that the Articles of Association reserve this power in whole or in
part to the shareholders.

(11) Make contracts.

(12) Generally perform all acts that are legal for a board of directors to perform.

**SEVENTH.** The board of directors shall have the power to change the location of the main office to any authorized branch within the limits of the city of Portland, Oregon, without the approval of the shareholders, or with a vote of shareholders owning two-thirds of the stock of the Association for a location outside such limits and upon receipt of a certificate of approval from the Comptroller of the Currency, to any other location within or outside the limits of the city of Portland, Oregon, but not more than thirty miles beyond such limits. The board of directors shall have the power to establish or change the location of any office or offices of the Association to any other location permitted under applicable law, without approval of shareholders, subject to approval by the Comptroller of the Currency.

**EIGHTH.** The corporate existence of this Association shall continue until termination according to the laws of the United States.

**NINTH.** The board of directors of the Association, or any shareholder owning, in the aggregate, not less than 25 percent of the stock of the Association, may call a special meeting of shareholders at any time. Unless otherwise provided by the Bylaws or the laws of the United States, or waived by shareholders, a notice of the time, place, and purpose of every annual and special meeting of the shareholders shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed at least 10, and no more than 60, days prior to the date of the meeting to each shareholder of record at his/her address as shown upon the books of the Association. Unless otherwise provided by the Bylaws, any action requiring approval of shareholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting.

**TENTH.** These Articles of Association may be amended at any regular or special meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Association, unless the vote of the holders of a greater amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the holders of such greater amount; provided, that the scope of the Association's activities and services may not be expanded without the prior written approval of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Association's board of directors may propose one or more amendments to the Articles of Association for submission to the shareholders.

The undersigned acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus dated , 2025 (the "Prospectus") of Crown Americas LLC (the "Company") and this Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), which together constitute the Company's offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer"), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, each $1,000 principal amount of their 5.875% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "New Notes") that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") of which the Prospectus is a part, for each $1,000 principal amount of their outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "Old Notes"), of which $700 million aggregate principal amount is outstanding. Other capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Prospectus.

------

Interest on the New Notes will accrue from and including the issue date of the Old Notes surrendered in exchange therefor. Holders (as hereinafter defined) of Old Notes accepted for exchange will be deemed to have waived the right to receive any other payments or accrued interest on the Old Notes. The Company reserves the right, at any time or from time to time, to extend the Exchange Offer in their discretion, in which event the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date to which the Exchange Offer is extended. The Company shall notify Holders of the Old Notes of any extension by means of a press release or other public announcement prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date. In addition, if the Company materially amends the terms of the Exchange Offer, the Company will as promptly as practicable distribute a prospectus supplement to the Holders of the Old Notes disclosing the change and extend the Exchange Offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered Holders, if the Exchange Offer would otherwise expire during the five to ten business day period.

This letter of transmittal is to be completed by a Holder of Old Notes either if (a) a tender of Old Notes is to be made by delivering physical certificates for such Old Notes to the Exchange Agent or (b) a tender of Old Notes is to be made by book-entry transfer to the account of the Exchange Agent for the Exchange Offer at The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") pursuant to the procedures set forth under "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes—DTC Book-Entry Transfers" in the Prospectus.

Tenders by book-entry transfer may also be made by delivering an agent's message in lieu of this Letter of Transmittal. The term "book-entry confirmation" means a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of Old Notes into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the principal amount of the Old Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of such Old Notes tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby exchanges, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company all right, title and interest in and to such Old Notes as are being tendered hereby, in full satisfaction of all obligations owing to the undersigned arising out of or relating to the Old Notes, including all rights to accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the Expiration Date. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned (with full knowledge that said Exchange Agent acts as the agent of the Company in connection with the Exchange Offer) to cause the Old Notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged. The undersigned represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Old Notes and to acquire New Notes issuable upon the exchange of such tendered Old Notes, and that when the same are accepted for exchange, the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title to the tendered Old Notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim.

If the undersigned is not a Broker-Dealer, the undersigned represents that it acquired the New Notes in the ordinary course of its business, it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of New Notes and it has no arrangements or understandings with any Person to participate in a distribution of the New Notes. If

------

the undersigned is a Broker-Dealer that will receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, it represents that the Old Notes to be exchanged for New Notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. The undersigned and any such other person acknowledge that, if they are participating in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing the New Notes, (i) they must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with the resale transaction and (ii) failure to comply with such requirements in such instance could result in the undersigned or any such other person incurring liability under the Securities Act for which such persons are not indemnified by the Company. If the undersigned or the person receiving the New Notes covered by this letter is an affiliate (as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of the Company, the undersigned represents to the Company that the undersigned understands and acknowledges that such New Notes may not be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by the undersigned or such other person without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.

The undersigned also warrants that it will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Exchange Agent or the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of tendered Old Notes or transfer ownership of such Old Notes on the account books maintained by a book-entry transfer facility.

The Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "The Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer." The undersigned recognizes that as a result of these conditions (which may be waived, in whole or in part, by the Company), as more particularly set forth in the Prospectus, the Company may not be required to exchange any of the Old Notes tendered hereby and, in such event, the Old Notes not exchanged will be returned to the undersigned at the address shown below the signature of the undersigned.

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death, incapacity or dissolution of the undersigned and every obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors, assigns, trustees in bankruptcy or other legal representatives of the undersigned. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance with the procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal Rights" section of the Prospectus.

Unless otherwise indicated in the box entitled "Special Registration Instructions" or the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" in this Letter of Transmittal, certificates for all New Notes delivered in exchange for tendered Old Notes, and any Old Notes delivered herewith but not exchanged, will be registered in the name of the undersigned and shall be delivered to the undersigned at the address shown below the signature of the undersigned. If a New Note is to be issued to a person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal, or if a New Note is to be mailed to someone other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or to the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal at an address different than the address shown on this Letter of Transmittal, the appropriate boxes of this Letter of Transmittal should be completed. If Old Notes are surrendered by Holder(s) that have completed either the box entitled "Special Registration Instructions" or the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" in this Letter of Transmittal, signature(s) on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (defined in Instruction 3).

For purposes of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Old Notes when, as and if the Company has given oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent.

The undersigned understands that tenders of Old Notes pursuant to the procedures described under the caption "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes" in the Prospectus and in the instructions hereto will, upon the Company's acceptance for exchange of such tendered Old Notes, constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer and that the tendering Holder will be deemed to have waived the right to receive any payment in respect of interest or otherwise on such Old Notes accrued up to the date of issuance of the New Notes. The undersigned recognizes that, under certain circumstances set forth in the Prospectus, the Company may not be required to accept for exchange any of the Old Notes tendered hereby.

**INSTRUCTIONS** 

**Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Exchange Offer** 

1. **Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Certificates**. All physically delivered Old Notes or confirmation of any book-entry transfer, as well as a properly completed and duly executed copy of this Letter of Transmittal or facsimile thereof, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein on or prior to expiration of the Exchange Offer (the "Expiration Date"). The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the Old Notes and any other required documents is at the election and risk of the Holder, and except as otherwise provided below, the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Exchange Agent. If such delivery is by mail, it is suggested that registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, be used.

No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering Holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) or otherwise complying with the tender procedures set forth in the Prospectus, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of the Old Notes for exchange.

Delivery to an address other than as set forth herein, or instructions via a facsimile number other than the ones set forth herein, will not constitute a valid delivery.

2. **Partial Tenders; Withdrawals**. If less than the entire principal amount of Old Notes evidenced by a submitted certificate is tendered, the tendering Holder should fill in the principal amount tendered in the column entitled "Principal Amount Tendered" in the box entitled "Description of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2033 Tendered Hereby". A newly issued Old Note for the principal amount of Old Notes submitted but not tendered will be sent to such Holder as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date. All Old Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered in full unless otherwise indicated.

Old Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date, after which tenders of Old Notes are irrevocable. To be effective, a written, telegraphic or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Exchange Agent or the Holder must otherwise comply with the withdrawal procedures of DTC as described in the Prospectus. Any such notice of withdrawal must (i) specify the name of the person having deposited the Old Notes to be withdrawn (the "Depositor"), (ii) identify the Old Notes to be withdrawn (including the registration number(s) and principal amount of such Old Notes, or, in the case of Old Notes transferred by book-entry transfer, the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited), (iii) be signed by the Holder in the same manner as the original signature on this Letter of Transmittal (including any required signature guarantees) or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to have the Trustee with respect to the Old Notes register the transfer of such Old Notes into the name of the person withdrawing the tender and (iv) specify the name in which any such Old Notes are to be registered, if different from that of the Depositor. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Any Old Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer and no New Notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the Old Notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Any Old Notes which have been tendered but which are not accepted for exchange will be returned to the Holder thereof without cost to such Holder as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer.

3. **Signature on this Letter of Transmittal; Written Instruments and Endorsements; Guarantee of Signatures.** If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered Holder(s) of the Old Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificates without alteration or any change whatsoever. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a participant in DTC, the signature must correspond with the name as it appears on the security position listing as the owner of the Old Notes.

------

If any of the Old Notes tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If a number of Old Notes registered in different names are tendered, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal as there are different registrations of Old Notes.

Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (an "Eligible Institution"), unless the Old Notes tendered hereby are tendered (i) by a registered Holder who has not completed the box entitled "Special Registration Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the Letter of Transmittal or (ii) for the account of an Eligible Institution.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered Holder or Holders of Old Notes (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of the Old Notes) listed and tendered hereby, no endorsements of the tendered Old Notes or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are required. In any other case, the registered Holder (or acting Holder) must either properly endorse the Old Notes or transmit properly completed bond powers with this Letter of Transmittal (in either case, executed exactly as the name(s) of the registered Holder(s) appear(s) on the Old Notes, and, with respect to a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of Old Notes, exactly as the name of the participant appears on such security position listing), with the signature on the Old Notes or bond power guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (except where the Old Notes are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution).

If this Letter of Transmittal, any certificates or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the Company, proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority to so act must be submitted.

4. **Special Registration and Delivery Instructions**. Tendering Holders should indicate, in the applicable box, the name and address (or account at DTC, as applicable) in which the New Notes or substitute Old Notes for principal amounts not tendered or not accepted for exchange are to be issued (or deposited), if different from the names and addresses or accounts of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different name, the employer identification number or social security number of the person named must also be indicated and the tendering Holder should complete the applicable box.

If no instructions are given, the New Notes (and any Old Notes not tendered or not accepted) will be issued in the name of and sent to the acting Holder of the Old Notes or deposited at such Holder's account at DTC, as applicable.

5. **Transfer Taxes**. The Company shall pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer and exchange of Old Notes to them or their order pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the transfer and exchange of Old Notes to the Company or its order pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered Holder or any other person) will be payable by the tendering Holder.

Except as provided in this Instruction 5, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Old Notes listed in this Letter of Transmittal.

6. **Waiver of Conditions**. The Company reserves the right, in its reasonable judgment, to waive, in whole or in part, any of the conditions to the Exchange Offer set forth in the Prospectus.

7. **Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Old Notes**. If a Holder's Old Note(s) has (have) been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, such fact should be indicated on the face of the Letter of Transmittal. In such event, you may

------

be required to complete a lost share affidavit and any additional documentation and instructions that may be required by the Exchange Agent and the Company and provide indemnity satisfactory to the Exchange Agent and the Company in order to effectively surrender such mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Old Notes.

8. **Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies**. Questions relating to the procedure for tendering, as well as requests for additional copies of the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, may be directed to the Exchange Agent at the address and telephone number(s) set forth above.

9. **Validity and Form**. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance of tendered Old Notes and withdrawal of tendered Old Notes will be determined by the Company, which determination will be final and binding. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any and all Old Notes not properly tendered or any Old Notes the Company's acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right, in its reasonable judgment, to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Old Notes. The Company's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in this Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Notes must be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. Although the Company intends to notify Holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Old Notes, neither the Company, the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Old Notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Old Notes received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the tendering Holder as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date.

------

**IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION** 

Under current United States federal income tax law, a Holder tendering Old Notes is required to provide the Exchange Agent with such Holder's correct taxpayer identification number ("TIN") (generally, a social security number, individual taxpayer identification number, or employer identification number) on the attached Form W-9, and to certify whether the Holder is subject to federal backup withholding and that the Holder is a United States person (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")). If the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct TIN, the Holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS. In addition, if (a) the Holder does not furnish the Exchange Agent with a TIN in the required manner, (b) the IRS notifies the Exchange Agent that the TIN provided is incorrect, or (c) the Holder is required but fails to certify that the Holder is not subject to backup withholding, federal backup withholding will apply. If federal backup withholding applies, the Exchange Agent or other payer is required to withhold a percentage (currently 24%) of any reportable payment made to a Holder of Old Notes pursuant to this tender offer as well as any future reportable payment that may be made to a Holder of New Notes. Backup withholding is not an additional federal income tax. Rather, the federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.

If the Holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future, such Holder should write "Applied For" in the space provided for the TIN in Part I of the attached Form W-9, sign and date the Form W-9, and complete the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number below. If "Applied For" is written in Part I and the Exchange Agent is not provided with a TIN within 60 days, the Exchange Agent will remit any previously withheld amounts to the IRS as backup withholding and will withhold a percentage (currently 24%) of all future reportable payments due to the Holder until the Holder furnishes its TIN to the Exchange Agent.

Certain Holders (including, among others, all corporations and certain non-United States persons) are not subject to these federal backup withholding requirements. Exempt Holders other than non-United States persons (as defined under the Code) should indicate their exempt status on Form W-9 by furnishing their TIN, writing "Exempt" on the face of the form, and signing and dating the form. A non-United States person must provide certification of foreign status as set forth below. See the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Form W-9 below for additional instructions.

A non-United States person, unless the income or gain earned is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted in the United States by such non-United States person, may qualify as an exempt recipient by submitting to the Exchange Agent a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) signed under penalty of perjury, certifying that the person is a non-United States person and is the beneficial owner of any payment received. Only the beneficial owner of a reportable payment subject to federal backup withholding should use Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form). In general, a person is not a beneficial owner of income if the person is receiving the income as nominee, agent, or custodian, or to the extent the person is a conduit whose participation in the transaction is disregarded. Certain other foreign persons, such as a withholding foreign partnership, withholding foreign trust, or an intermediary, should also not use Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form), but should use an alternate form of a Form W-8. Consult your tax advisor for more information on these alternative forms. Failure to provide Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) may result in withholding at a 30% rate (foreign person withholding) or federal backup withholding (currently 24%). A Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) can be obtained from the Exchange Agent or from the IRS website at www.irs.gov.
