This filing finalizes the terms and pricing of the note offering for Versigent, Aptiv's Electrical Distribution Systems spin-off, which was initiated on March 4, 2026. The offering was upsized by $100 million to $1.6 billion, indicating strong market demand for Versigent's debt. This significant capital raise, combined with a $500 million term loan and an $850 million revolving credit facility, provides substantial funding for Versigent.

This strategic financing ensures the spin-off is well-capitalized and provides a material cash inflow to Aptiv.
