Summary

TransDigm Group Incorporated (TDG) has announced its intention to offer $2,500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes through its subsidiary, TransDigm Inc. This offering is being conducted as a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S, targeting qualified institutional buyers and non-U.S. persons.
