2016/97 (as amended, the "IDD"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of
Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended or superseded, the

RECEN T DEV ELOPM EN T S
First Qua rt e r Pre lim ina ry Re sult s
On April 13, 2020, Ford announced that first-quarter vehicle wholesales were down 21 percent from a year ago, largely as a
result of lower production and demand related to the coronavirus ("COVID-19"). For the first quarter of 2020, Ford currently expects
to report revenue of about $34 billion, net income/(loss) of about $(2) billion, and adjusted EBIT of about $(0.6) billion, which
excludes special item charges of about $0.3 billion, interest expense on debt (excluding Ford Credit debt) of about $0.2 billion, and
income tax expense of about $0.8 billion.
Ford has not yet completed the close of its first-quarter 2020 books and the preliminary financial data have not been subject
to review or other procedures by the company's independent auditor. The company's announcement of first-quarter financial results,
including estimates of the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business, is planned for April 28, 2020. In March,
Ford withdrew all guidance for 2020 financial performance it had given on February 4, 2020.
Supplie r U pda t e
Ford has learned that a BorgWarner production facility in South Carolina suffered significant damage on April 13, 2020 when
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/37996/000104746920002443/a2241410z424b2.htm[4/21/2020 8:01:02 AM]


it was hit by a tornado. The BorgWarner facility supplies transfer cases to us. Initial assessments indicate that the Ford tooling was
not materially damaged in this incident, although the building and facilities were significantly impacted. We do not have sufficient
information to confirm when the facility will be back on-line, but plans are in place to support our U.S. plant resumptions. Products
that could be impacted by this incident when production resumes potentially include four-wheel drive and/or all-wheel drive versions
of F-150, Expedition, Super Duty, Explorer, Transit, Lincoln Navigator and Lincoln Aviator.
Subsidia ry Gua ra nt e e s for Cre dit Fa c ilit ie s
In March 2020, we fully drew our corporate credit facility and supplemental revolving credit facility and received in the
aggregate $15.4 billion from the lenders under the credit facilities. The credit facilities, as well as our Loan Arrangement and
Reimbursement Agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (the "DOE") related to our ATVM loan, which has an aggregate
$1.3 billion outstanding, require us to provide guarantees from certain of our subsidiaries in the event our senior, unsecured, long-
term debt does not maintain at least two investment grade ratings from Fitch, Moody's, and S&P. As a result of being downgraded
by Moody's in September 2019 and S&P in March 2020, on or before April 24, 2020, the following subsidiaries will provide
unsecured guarantees to the lenders under the credit facilities and to the DOE: Ford Component Sales, LLC; Ford European
Holdings LLC; Ford Global Technologies, LLC; Ford Holdings LLC (the parent company of Ford Motor Credit Company LLC); Ford
International Capital LLC; Ford Mexico Holdings LLC; Ford Motor Service Company; Ford Smart Mobility LLC; and Ford Trading
Company, LLC (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). Ford Holdings LLC had about $470 million of external debt at March 31,
2020 and none of the other Subsidiary Guarantors have external debt. At December 31, 2019, Ford Motor Company had about $70
billion of assets (net of investments in consolidated affiliates), reflecting substantially all of our consolidated domestic automotive
assets. Ford Motor Company is an operating company and the obligor of the Notes offered hereunder. The Notes offered
hereunder will not be guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of our other subsidiaries. As a result, the Notes will be
structurally subordinated with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the foregoing indebtedness.

RI SK FACT ORS
Before purchasing any Notes, you should read carefully this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the
documents incorporated by reference herein, including risk factor discussions in Ford's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the
Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 13, 2020 (with respect to Item 8.01 only), for risk factors regarding Ford.
Ford's financial condition and results of operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected by public health
issues, including epidemics or pandemics such as COVID-19.
We face various risks related to public health issues, including epidemics, pandemics, and other outbreaks, including the
deadly global outbreak of the coronavirus ("COVID-19"). The impact of COVID-19, including changes in consumer behavior,
pandemic fears and market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, has created significant volatility in the
global economy and led to reduced economic activity. There have been extraordinary actions taken by international, federal, state,
and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions
throughout the world, including travel bans, quarantines, "stay-at-home" orders, and similar mandates for many individuals to
substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.
Consistent with the actions taken or recommended by governmental authorities, in March 2020, we elected to shut down our
manufacturing operations in regions around the world outside of China, where manufacturing operations had been shut down since
January. At this time, we have not determined when manufacturing operations will resume, although we are currently considering a
scenario for a phased restart of our manufacturing plants, supply network, and other dependent functions (in addition to what is
already underway in China) in the second quarter of 2020 with enhanced safety standards in place to protect workers. Our
automotive operations will generally not realize revenue while our facilities are shut down, but we will continue to incur operating
and non-operating expenses. Any decisions on resumptions will be made in cooperation with local unions, suppliers, dealers, and
other stakeholders. A continued significant disruption to our production schedule will have a substantial adverse effect on our
financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.
The economic slowdown attributable to COVID-19 has led to a global decrease in vehicle sales in markets around the world.
As described in more detail under "Industry sales volume in any of our key markets can be volatile and could decline if there is a
financial crisis, recession, or significant geopolitical event" in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2019, a sustained decline in vehicle sales would have a substantial adverse effect on our financial condition,
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/37996/000104746920002443/a2241410z424b2.htm[4/21/2020 8:01:02 AM]


results of operations, and cash flow. Moreover, as a result of the restrictions described above and consumers' reaction to COVID-
19 in general, showroom traffic at our dealers has dropped significantly and many dealers have temporarily ceased operations,
thereby reducing the demand for our products and leading dealers to purchase fewer vehicles from us, as well as a reduction in
parts and accessories sales. At the same time, despite the decrease in revenue, our production trade payables continue to come
due through April, resulting in a deterioration of our cash flow. The extent and duration of the deterioration is uncertain at this time.
The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and results of operations will depend on future
developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the outbreak, its impact on our customers and suppliers, how quickly
normal economic conditions, operations, and the demand for our products can resume, and whether the pandemic leads to
recessionary conditions in any of our key markets. For example, fully ramping up our production schedule to
S-2
Table of Contents
prior levels may take several months and will depend, in part, on whether our suppliers and dealers have resumed normal
operations. Further, government-sponsored liquidity or stimulus programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may not be
available to our customers, suppliers, dealers, or us, and if available, may nevertheless be insufficient to address the impacts of
COVID-19. Moreover, our supply and distribution chains may be disrupted by supplier or dealer bankruptcies or their permanent
discontinuation of operations. Accordingly, the ultimate impact on our financial condition and results of operations cannot be
determined at this time. Nevertheless, despite the uncertainty of the COVID-19 situation, we expect our full year 2020 results of
operations to be adversely affected.
The COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including, but not limited to, our competitiveness, demand or market
acceptance for our products, shifting consumer preferences, and vehicle residual values.
U SE OF PROCEEDS
Ford estimates that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately $7,926,000,000 after deducting the underwriting
discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by Ford. Ford intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for
general corporate purposes.
DESCRI PT I ON OF N OT ES
This description of the terms of the Notes adds information to the description of the general terms and provisions of debt
securities in the prospectus. If this summary differs in any way from the summary in the prospectus, you should rely on this
summary. The Notes are part of the debt securities registered by Ford in February 2020 to be issued on terms to be determined at
the time of sale.
Ford will issue the Notes under the Indenture, dated as of January 30, 2002, as supplemented, between Ford and The Bank
of New York Mellon, as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). The Indenture is summarized in the
prospectus beginning on Page 4. The Indenture and the Notes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York.

The 2023 Notes will initially be limited to $3,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount and will be unsecured obligations of
Ford. The 2023 Notes will mature on April 21, 2023. The 2023 Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 for higher amounts.
The 2023 Notes will not be subject to repayment at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity and will not be
entitled to any sinking fund.
Ford may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the 2023 Notes, issue additional notes having the same
ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the 2023 Notes. Any such additional notes will, together with the
2023 Notes, constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No additional 2023 Notes may be issued if an Event of Default
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/37996/000104746920002443/a2241410z424b2.htm[4/21/2020 8:01:02 AM]


has occurred with respect to the 2023 Notes.
S-3
Table of Contents
The 2023 Notes will bear interest from April 22, 2020 at the rate of 8.500% per annum. Interest on the 2023 Notes will be
payable semi-annually in arrears on April 21 and October 21 of each year (each such day an "Interest Payment Date"),
commencing October 21, 2020, to the persons in whose names the 2023 Notes were registered at the close of business on the
15th day preceding the Interest Payment Date, subject to certain exceptions. Interest on the 2023 Notes will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Each interest payment on a 2023 Note will include interest accrued
from, and including, the issue date or the last Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the following Interest
Payment Date or the maturity date, as the case may be. If interest or principal is payable on a day that is not a business day, we
will make the payment on the next business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of the delay in payment. By "business day"
we mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are
authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
Optional Redemption. The 2023 Notes offered hereby will be redeemable prior to maturity, in whole or from time to time in
part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
·
100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes to be redeemed; and
·
as determined by the Quotation Agent (defined below), the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled
Payments (defined below) of principal and interest on the 2023 Notes to be redeemed, discounted to the redemption
date on a semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at the Adjusted Treasury
Rate (defined below) plus 50 basis points;
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2023 Notes to be redeemed to the redemption date.
In the case of a partial redemption of the 2023 Notes, the 2023 Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee in
accordance with the procedures of DTC from the outstanding 2023 Notes not previously called for redemption. Notice of any
redemption will be sent in accordance with the procedures of DTC at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to the holder of record of the 2023 Notes. A partial redemption will not reduce the portion of any 2023 Note not
being redeemed to a principal amount of less than $2,000. Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the
redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the 20 Notes or the portions of the 2023 Notes called for redemption.
Definitions. Following are definitions of the terms used in the optional redemption provisions discussed above.
"Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, for any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to
maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date.
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a
maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2023 Notes that would be used, at the time of a selection and in accordance with
customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the
2023 Notes.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means, for any redemption date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for
that redemption date.
