Confirmation of your representation: In order to be eligible to view the Offering Memorandum or
make an investment decision with respect to the Securities, investors must be either (1) QIBs or (2) non-
U.S. persons purchasing the Securities outside of the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the
U.S. Securities Act; provided that investors resident in a member state of the EEA or the United Kingdom
are not "retail investors" as defined below. The Offering Memorandum is being sent to you at your request.

By accepting the e-mail and accessing the Offering Memorandum, you shall be deemed to have represented
to us that:
(1)
you consent to delivery of such Offering Memorandum by electronic transmission, and
(2)
either:
(a)
you and any customers you represent are QIBs, or
(b)
non-U.S. persons outside the United States and the e-mail address that you provided
and to which the Offering Memorandum has been delivered is not located in the
United States, its territories and possessions (including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Wake Island and the Northern Mariana Islands),
any State of the United States or the District of Columbia, and
(3)
if you are resident in a member state of the EEA or the United Kingdom, you are not a "retail
investor." For the purposes of this paragraph (3), the expression "retail investor" means a
person who is one (or more) of the following:
(a)
a "retail client" as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive (EU) 2014/65 (as
amended, "MiFID II");
(b)
a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the
"Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a
"professional client" as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or
(c)
not a "qualified investor" as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus
Regulation").
Prospective purchasers that are QIBs are hereby notified that the sellers of the Securities may be
relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A
under the U.S. Securities Act.
You are reminded that the Offering Memorandum has been delivered to you on the basis that you
are a person into whose possession the Offering Memorandum may be lawfully delivered in accordance
with the laws of the jurisdiction in which you are located and you may not, nor are you authorized to,
deliver the Offering Memorandum to any other person.
Under no circumstances shall the Offering Memorandum constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation
of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
The Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, and should not
be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, any retail investor in the EEA or the United Kingdom. For
these purposes, the expression "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a "retail client"
as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the Insurance
Distribution Directive, 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 the Prospectus Regulation.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) 1286/2014 (as amended, the
"PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the EEA or the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the

Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the United Kingdom
may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. The Offering Memorandum has been prepared on the basis
that any offer of the Securities in any member state of the EEA or the United Kingdom will be made
pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for
offers of notes. The Offering Memorandum is not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus
Regulation.
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market
assessment in respect of the Securities has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Securities
is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels
for distribution of the Securities to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any
person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Securities (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Securities (by either adopting
or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
The materials relating to the Offering do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an
offer or solicitation in any place where such offers or solicitations are not permitted by law. If a jurisdiction
requires that the Offering be made by a licensed broker or dealer and an Initial Purchaser (as defined in this
Offering Memorandum) or any affiliate of the Initial Purchaser is a licensed broker or dealer in that
jurisdiction, the Offering shall be deemed to be made by such Initial Purchaser or such affiliate on behalf
of Aston Martin Capital Holdings Limited (the "Issuer") in such jurisdiction.
The Offering Memorandum is not being distributed, nor has it been approved for the purposes of
Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the "FSMA") by an authorized
person under the FSMA. The Offering Memorandum is for distribution only to, and is only directed at, (i)
persons having professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the "Financial Promotion
Order"), or (ii) high net worth entities falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Financial Promotion
Order, or (iii) outside the United Kingdom or (iv) persons to whom it would be otherwise lawful to
distribute it, all such persons together being referred to as "relevant persons." The Securities are only
available to, and any invitation, offer or agreement to subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire such
Securities will be engaged in only with, relevant persons. The Offering Memorandum and its contents are
confidential and should not be distributed, published or reproduced (in whole or in part) or disclosed by
any recipients to any other person in the United Kingdom. Any person in the United Kingdom that is not a
relevant person should not act or rely on this Offering Memorandum or its contents. The Securities are not
being offered to the public in the United Kingdom.
No person may communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage
in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with
the issue or sale of the Securities other than in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not
apply to the Issuer or the Company.
The attached Offering Memorandum has been sent to you in an electronic format. You are reminded
that documents transmitted in an electronic format may be altered or changed during the process of

Strictly confidential
Aston Martin Capital Holdings Limited
$1,085,500,000 10.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2025
Aston Martin Capital Holdings Limited (the "Issuer"), a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Jersey, is offering $1,085,500,000 10.50% senior secured notes due
2025 (the "New Notes"). The proceeds of the New Notes will be used, together with the proceeds of certain other debt and equity financing transactions described herein (i) to redeem
in full the outstanding amount of Old Notes (as defined herein), including the relevant redemption premiums and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) to repay in full and cancel
the £20.0 million term loan described herein as the CLBILS Loan, including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (iii) for general corporate purposes, including working capital
requirements, and (iv) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions (as defined herein). See "Use of proceeds."
The New Notes will be issued on November 16, 2020 (the "Issue Date"). The New Notes will be issued under the indenture to be entered into by, among others, the Issuer and U.S.
Bank Trustees Limited, as trustee, on the Issue Date (the "New Notes Indenture"). The Issuer expects to issue $335,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 15.00% second lien split
coupon notes due 2026 (the "Second Lien Notes") under the indenture to be entered into by, among others, the Issuer and U.S. Bank Trustees Limited, as trustee, on or around
November 10, 2020 (the "Second Lien Indenture"). The New Notes and the Second Lien Notes are collectively referred to herein as the "Notes."
Interest on the New Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2021. The New Notes will mature on November 30,
2025.
Pending the consummation of the New Equity Offering and the First Strategic Cooperation Equity Issuance (each as defined herein) as well as delivery of a certification of the Issuer
on the Release Date (as defined herein) that, on the Release Date, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes (as defined herein) will be redeemed in full, including
applicable redemption premiums, accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, the Initial Purchasers (as defined herein) will deposit the gross proceeds from the
Offering (as defined herein) of the New Notes on the Issue Date into the Escrow Account (as defined herein). From the Issue Date to the Release Date, the Escrow Account will be
subject to security on a first ranking basis in favor of the trustee under the New Notes Indenture and the holders of the New Notes. The consummation of the New Equity Offering
and the First Strategic Cooperation Equity Issuance and the release of the gross proceeds of the Offering from the Escrow Account will be subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. If the Release Date does not take place on or prior to February 10, 2021 (the "Escrow Longstop Date"), or upon the occurrence of certain other events, the New Notes will
be subject to a special mandatory redemption. The special mandatory redemption price will be a price equal to 100% of the issue price of the New Notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest and additional amounts, if any, to the date of special mandatory redemption. See "Description of the New Notes--Escrow of Proceeds; Special Mandatory Redemption."
Prior to November 1, 2024, the Issuer may redeem, at its option, the New Notes, in whole or in part, by paying a "make-whole" premium. On or after November 1, 2024, the Issuer
may redeem, at its option, the New Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption price specified herein, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any.
In addition, prior to November 1, 2024, the Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the New Notes at the applicable redemption price specified in
this Offering Memorandum with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the date of
redemption; provided that at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the New Notes remains outstanding immediately after the redemption. Until (and including) the
120th day after the Issue Date, the Issuer may redeem in the aggregate up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the New Notes up to an amount equal to the net cash
proceeds of any amount received pursuant to any Regulatory Debt Facility (as such term is defined under "Description of the New Notes-- Certain Definitions") at a redemption price
equal to 110.50% of the principal amount of New Notes so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, provided that at least 60% of
the original aggregate principal amount of the New Notes remains outstanding immediately after the redemption. See "Description of the New Notes--Optional Redemption."
The New Notes may be redeemed at a price equal to their outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of certain changes in applicable tax law.
Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, the Issuer may be required to offer to redeem the New Notes at 101% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption.
The New Notes will be the Issuer's senior obligations. On the Issue Date, the New Notes will be guaranteed (the "Guarantees"), jointly and severally, on a senior basis by Aston
Martin Investments Limited (the "Company") and certain of its subsidiaries (together, the "Guarantors"). The Guarantors will also guarantee the New Revolving Credit Facility (as
defined herein) and the Second Lien Notes. On the Release Date, the New Notes and the Guarantees will be secured by first-priority security interests on certain assets (the "Collateral")
that will also secure the obligations under our New Revolving Credit Facility, certain hedging obligations, if any, and the Second Lien Notes, as described in "Description of the New
Notes--Security--The Collateral." In the event of enforcement of the security over the Collateral, the holders of the New Notes will receive proceeds from the Collateral only after
the lenders under the New Revolving Credit Facility and certain hedging obligations, if any, have been repaid in full. See "Description of other financial arrangements--Intercreditor
Agreement."
There is currently no public market for the New Notes. Application will be made to The International Stock Exchange Authority Limited (the "Authority") for the listing of and
permission to deal in the New Notes on the Official List of The International Stock Exchange (the "Exchange").

any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction. The New Notes may be offered only in transactions that are exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act or the
