Other Events

On May 24, 2021, Motorola Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) closed the public underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of $850,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2.750% senior notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated May 10, 2021, by and among the Company and the several underwriters named therein. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of August 19, 2014 between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as supplemented by an Officers’ Certificate, dated May 24, 2021 (the “Officers’ Certificate”). The Notes were offered and sold pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-254510) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include repayments, redemptions or repurchases of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. Subsequent to the pricing of the Notes, the Company determined to use a portion of the net proceeds therefrom to redeem on June 10, 2021 all of its $324,029,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding of 3.500% senior notes due March 1, 2023 pursuant to its optional make-whole redemption rights.

The Indenture is incorporated as Exhibit 4.1, the 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.
