The Notes were offered and will be sold pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-223828) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Notes will form a single series with the $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.600% senior notes due 2029 that the Company issued on May 23, 2019 (the “Existing Notes”). Accordingly, the Notes will have terms that are identical to the terms of the Existing Notes (other than the initial offering price) and have the same CUSIP number and will be fungible with the Existing Notes. Upon the issuance of the Notes, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Company’s 4.600% senior notes due 2029 will be $800,000,000.

Net proceeds from the Offering are estimated to be approximately $159.0 million and will be used for the redemption of the Company’s 3.500% senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) as described below and for general corporate purposes. The Offering is expected to close on or about August 13, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), subject to customary closing conditions.

The Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1, the Form of Officers’ Certificate is filed as Exhibit 4.2, and the Specimen Note is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and each is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Notes and the other documents relating to this transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of these securities and documents, forms or copies of which are attached as exhibits (or incorporated by reference) to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

On August 7, 2019, the Company instructed The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the trustee for the Company’s 2021 Notes, to deliver a notice of redemption to the holders of the 2021 Notes. Pursuant to the notice of redemption, the Company will redeem all $150,317,000 outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Notes, in accordance with the terms for redemption contained in the Indenture (as defined above).

9.     (a)     The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use therein.

(b)     The Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c)     Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any

 

11


indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)     If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total gross proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter in connection with the Underwriter’s resale of the Securities pursuant to the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)     The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of the Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriter under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

 

12


10.     The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Underwriter, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or any controlling person of the Underwriter, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

11.     If the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriter through you for all expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to the Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

12.     (a)    In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)    In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

16.     The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Underwriter, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction the Underwriter are acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) the Underwriter have not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriter have advised or are currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, and (iv) each of them consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriter have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

17.     This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriter, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

18.     THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement or our engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.

19.     The Company and the Underwriter hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

20.     This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

21.     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company is authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriter imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement between the Underwriter and the Company.

Final Term Sheet

 

Issuer:    Motorola Solutions, Inc.
Title of Security:    4.600% Senior Notes due 2029
Ratings:    [intentionally omitted]
Trade Date:    August 6, 2019
Settlement Date:

We expect that delivery of the notes will be made on or about August 13, 2019 which will be on or about the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, or “T+2”, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the second business day before the delivery of the notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in “T+5”, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisors.

Aggregate Principal Amount:   

$150,000,000

 

The notes offered hereby are an additional issuance of Motorola Solutions, Inc.’s 4.600% Senior Notes due 2029 of which Motorola Solutions, Inc. issued an initial $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “existing notes”) on May 23, 2019. The 2029 Notes and the existing notes will be treated as part of a single series for all purposes under the indenture governing the 4.600% Senior Notes due 2029. The 2029 Notes will be fungible with the existing notes immediately upon issuance. Upon the issuance of the 2029 Notes, the aggregate principal amount of the existing notes and the 2029 Notes will be $800,000,000.

ANNEX A

to

Officers’ Certificate

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Indenture.

 

  1.

The title of the series of Securities authorized hereby shall be the “4.600% Senior Notes due 2029” (the “Notes”) of the Company.

 

  2.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture in accordance with this Officers’ Certificate is initially limited to $150,000,000, except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 304, 305, 906, 1107 or 1303 of the Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered under the Indenture; provided, however, that the Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional notes ranking equally with the Notes and otherwise similar in all respects so that such further notes would be consolidated and form a single series of the Notes.

 

  3.

The Notes will form a single series with the $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.600% senior notes due 2029 that the Company issued on May 23, 2019 (the “Existing Notes”). Accordingly, the Notes will have terms that are identical to the terms of the Existing Notes (other than the initial offering price) and have the same CUSIP number and will be fungible with the Existing Notes. Upon the issuance of the Notes, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Company’s 4.600% senior notes due 2029 will be $800,000,000.

 

  4.

The principal of the Notes shall be payable on May 23, 2029.

 

  5.

The Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 4.600% per annum from the most recent May 23 or November 23 for which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually on May 23 and November 23, commencing November 23, 2019, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Each such May 23 or November 23 shall be an “Interest Payment Date” for the Notes. The May 10 or November 10 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding an Interest Payment Date shall be the “Regular Record Date” for the Interest payable on such Interest Payment Date.

 

  6.

The principal of and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in Chicago, Illinois; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee inside the United States.


  7.

The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund and shall not be convertible or exchangeable into shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

  8.

The Notes shall be registered as Registered Securities.

 

  9.

The Notes shall be permanently issued as Global Securities under an arrangement with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The Notes will not be delivered to beneficial owners in definitive form unless and until the DTC is removed as the depositary and no successor depositary can be found, or, with respect to holders of beneficial interests in the Notes who hold such interests directly or indirectly through Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme (“Clearstream”) or Euroclear Bank, as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), in the event that Clearstream or Euroclear, as applicable, notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a clearing system in connection with the Global Securities.

 

  10.

Payments of principal and interest on the Notes shall be paid to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner of the Notes.

 

  11.

On or after February 23, 2029 (3 months prior to the stated maturity of the notes), the Company may redeem the Notes at a price of 100% and accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

 

  12.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement), unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase. Such offer will be conducted in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus Supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a change of control repurchase event with respect to the Notes, if, with respect to such Notes, a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Notes of properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

 

  13.

The provisions of Sections 1402 (defeasance) and 1403 (covenant defeasance) of the Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes.

Re: Motorola Solutions, Inc. — Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Motorola Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of (i) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-223828) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the offering from time to time, together or separately and in one or more series (if applicable), of an indeterminate amount of various securities of the Company, including senior notes, (ii) the prospectus dated March 21, 2018 forming a part thereof, together with the documents incorporated therein by reference, (iii) the preliminary prospectus supplement in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on August 6, 2019, and (iv) the final prospectus supplement dated August 6, 2019 in the form to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act no later than August 8, 2019 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), in connection with the offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.600% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”).

In connection with this opinion, we have examined such corporate records, documents, instruments, certificates of public officials and of the Company and such questions of law as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering the opinions set forth herein.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all items submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all items submitted to us as copies.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that the Notes constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors now or hereafter in effect, and equitable principles that may limit the right to specific enforcement of remedies.

We express no opinion as to matters governed by laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws) and the federal laws of the United States of America, as in effect on the date hereof.

We hereby consent to your filing a copy of this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 7, 2019, and we further consent to the use of our name under the heading of “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement to be filed by the Company with the Commission. In giving such permission, we do not admit hereby 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 thereunder. We disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes of the facts stated or assumed herein or any subsequent changes in applicable law.


Very truly yours,
