Includes the Early Tender Premium.

The Tender Offers are being made upon, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase. Each Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 26, 2025, unless extended by the applicable Offeror or earlier terminated (such date and time with respect to any Tender Offer, as it may be extended or earlier terminated, the “Expiration Time”). No tenders of Notes submitted after the Expiration Time will be valid. Holders of Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 10, 2025 (such date and time with respect to any Tender Offer, as it may be extended, the “Early Tender Deadline”) that are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration (as set forth in the table above), which includes an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer (with respect to each series of Notes, the “Early Tender Premium”). Holders of Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the applicable Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the applicable Expiration Time that are accepted for purchase (if any) will receive only the applicable “Tender Offer Consideration,” which is, for each series of Notes, the applicable Total Consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium.

In addition to the Total Consideration or Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest, rounded to the nearest cent, on the applicable series of Notes from the last interest payment date with respect to such Notes to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date (the “Accrued Interest”).

Tendered Notes may be validly withdrawn from the applicable Tender Offer at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 10, 2025, unless extended by the applicable Offeror (such date and time with respect to any Tender Offer, as it may be extended, the “Withdrawal Deadline”). After the applicable Withdrawal Deadline, Holders who have validly tendered their Notes may not withdraw such Notes unless the applicable Offeror is required to extend withdrawal rights under applicable law.

The applicable Offeror reserves the right, but is under no obligation, at any point following the applicable Early Tender Deadline and before the applicable Expiration Time, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the applicable Tender Offer, to accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline (the settlement date of such purchase under such Tender Offer being the “Early Settlement Date”), subject to the Maximum Tender Offer Amount, the 2029 Notes Tender Cap, the Acceptance Priority Levels and the proration arrangements applicable to the Tender Offers, each as described in the Offer to Purchase. Each Early Settlement Date will be determined at the applicable Offeror’s option and is currently expected to occur on or after November 13, 2025, subject to all conditions to the applicable Tender Offer having been either satisfied or waived by the applicable Offeror. Irrespective of whether the applicable Offeror chooses to exercise its option to have an Early Settlement Date, the applicable Offeror will purchase any remaining Notes that have been validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Expiration Time and that it chooses to accept for purchase, subject to all conditions to the applicable Tender Offer having been either satisfied or waived by the applicable Offeror, promptly following the applicable Expiration Time (the settlement date of such purchase under such Tender Offer being the “Final Settlement Date”; the Final Settlement Date and the Early Settlement Date each being a “Settlement Date”), subject to the Maximum Tender Offer Amount, the 2029 Notes Tender Cap, the Acceptance Priority Levels and proration arrangements applicable to the Tender Offers, each as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The applicable Final Settlement Date is expected to occur on December 1, 2025, the second business day following the applicable Expiration Time, assuming that the conditions to the Tender Offers are satisfied or waived by the applicable Offeror and that Notes with total cash consideration payable, excluding the applicable Accrued Interest, equal to the Maximum Tender Offer Amount are not purchased on the applicable Early Settlement Date.

Subject to the Maximum Tender Offer Amount, the 2029 Notes Tender Cap and the proration arrangements applicable to the Tender Offers, each as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, all Notes validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Tender Deadline having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any Notes validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Tender Deadline having a lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted. Among any Notes validly tendered following the applicable Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the applicable Expiration Time, Notes having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any Notes having a lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted. However, if the Tender Offers are not fully subscribed as of the applicable Early Tender Deadline, subject to the 2029 Notes Tender Cap, Notes validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase in priority to other Notes tendered following the applicable Early Tender Deadline, even if such Notes tendered following the applicable Early Tender Deadline have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Notes tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Tender Deadline.

Acceptances for tenders of Notes of a series may be subject to proration if the total cash consideration payable, excluding the applicable Accrued Interest, for the Notes of such series validly tendered would cause the Maximum Tender Offer Amount to be exceeded or, in the case of the 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 issued by Sensata Technologies B.V. (the “STBV 2029 Notes”), if the aggregate principal amount of the STBV 2029 Notes validly tendered would cause the 2029 Notes Tender Cap to be exceeded. Furthermore, absent an amendment of the Tender Offers, if the Tender Offers are subscribed in excess of the Maximum Tender Offer Amount or, in the case of the STBV 2029 Notes, in excess of the 2029 Notes Tender Cap, as of the applicable Early Tender Deadline, Holders who validly tender Notes following the applicable Early Tender Deadline will not have any such Notes accepted for purchase.

The applicable Offeror’s obligation to accept for payment and to pay for any of the Notes validly tendered in the applicable Tender Offer is not subject to any minimum principal amount of Notes in the aggregate or of any series being tendered, but is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. The applicable Offeror(s) reserve the right, subject to applicable law, to: (i) waive any and all conditions to the applicable Tender Offer; (ii) extend or terminate the applicable Tender Offer; (iii) increase or decrease the Maximum Tender Offer Amount and/or, in the case of Sensata Technologies B.V., increase, decrease or eliminate the 2029 Notes Tender Cap, in each case, without extending or reinstating withdrawal rights; or (iv) otherwise amend the applicable Tender Offer in any respect.

A Holder wishing to tender Notes may do so by book-entry transfer and delivery of an agent’s message pursuant to DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program. The Offerors have retained Barclays Capital Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to act as Dealer Managers (the “Dealer Managers”) in connection with the Tender Offers. Questions and requests for assistance regarding the terms of the Tender Offers should be directed to Barclays Capital Inc. at (800) 438-3242 or by email at [email protected], or to Goldman Sachs & Co.

None of the Offerors, Sensata, the Dealer Managers, the Tender and Information Agent, the trustees under the indentures governing the Notes, the guarantors party to the indentures governing the Notes, nor any of their respective affiliates, is making any recommendation as to whether Holders should tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of their Notes in response to the Tender Offers, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender their Notes and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.

In any jurisdiction in which the Tender Offers are required to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Tender Offers will be deemed to be made on behalf of the Offerors by the Dealer Managers, or one or more registered brokers or dealers that are licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
