Ardagh Packaging Finance Plc (the “Irish Issuer”) and Ardagh Holdings USA Inc. (the “US Issuer” and, together with the Irish Issuer, the “Issuers”) hereby give notice to the holders (the “Holders”) of their 5.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 bearing the ISINs and CUSIPs specified above (the “Notes”) of the redemption of the entire outstanding principal amount of the Notes (the “Redeemed Notes”) pursuant to paragraph 6(c) of the Global Notes and Article 3 of the indenture dated as of April 8, 2020, as amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively, the “Indenture”), among, inter alios, the Issuers, Citibank, N.A., London Branch, as Trustee, Principal Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Security Agent, and Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG, as Registrar. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined have the meanings given to them in the Indenture. The terms and conditions of the redemption are as follows:

The redemption date for the Redeemed Notes will be June 13, 2024 (such date, as it may be extended or amended by way of a further notice, the “Redemption Date”).
The record date on which any Holder of the Redeemed Notes must hold such Redeemed Notes to be entitled to the Redemption Price (as defined below), will be the business day immediately prior to the Redemption Date, which, unless the Redemption Date is extended as above, shall be June 12, 2024 (the “Record Date”).
Pursuant to paragraph 6(c) of the Global Notes and assuming the Redemption Date is June 13, 2024, the aggregate redemption price for the Redeemed Notes will be $704,389,583.33, calculated on the basis of (i) the redemption price of 100.000% of the nominal amount of the Redeemed Notes amounting to $700,000,000, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, from and including the last Interest Payment Date, April 30, 2024, up to, but not including, the Redemption Date, amounting to $4,389,583.33 (together, the “Redemption Price”).
The redemption of the Redeemed Notes is conditioned upon the receipt by the Principal Paying Agent of an amount of cash in US dollars from, or on behalf of, the Issuers sufficient to pay the Redemption Price payable to the Holders, on or prior to the Redemption Date (or pursuant to such other arrangements as may be agreed with the Principal Paying Agent and the Trustee). Accordingly, none of the Redeemed Notes shall be deemed due and payable on the Redemption Date unless and until the conditions set forth herein have been either satisfied or waived by the Issuers.
In the event that the conditions described in paragraph (4) above are not satisfied or waived by the Issuers on or prior to the Redemption Date, the Issuers may, in their discretion, either delay the Redemption Date and, consequently, the Record Date, until such time as such condition shall be satisfied or waived or rescind this notice of redemption. The Issuers will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent on or prior to the Redemption Date if the Issuers have elected to delay the Redemption Date or rescind this notice of redemption.
The Redeemed Notes must be presented and surrendered to the Principal Paying Agent, which is Citibank, N.A., London Branch, 25 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5LB, United Kingdom Attention: PPA Desk to collect the Redemption Price. Redeemed Notes in book-entry form must be surrendered through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in the usual manner. For all Redeemed Notes surrendered in book-entry form, the process of redemption and payment of the applicable Redemption Price will be made through the facilities of DTC in the usual manner.
Unless the Issuers default in making the payment of the Redemption Price or the Principal Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, interest on the Redeemed Notes ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only rights of the Holders of the Redeemed Notes shall be to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Principal Paying Agent of the Redeemed Notes. In connection with the redemption, the Registrar will be directed to decrease the principal amount of the respective Global Notes by the principal amount of the Redeemed Notes.
No representation is made by the Issuers, the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent as to the correctness or accuracy of the ISINs and CUSIPs listed in this notice or printed on the Notes.
This notice is given on June 3, 2024.
