Consent Solicitations Achieved in Respect of 7.45% Notes Due 2034 and 7.35% Debentures Due 2026

Bombardier (TSX: BBD.B) (the “Corporation”) today announced that it has received the requisite consent from holders of its outstanding 7.45% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes”) and holders of its 7.35% Debentures due 2026 (the “Canadian Notes”) as they relate to the Corporation’s previously announced Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 3, 2021 as supplemented by the supplement to the Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 18, 2021 (as from time to time amended or supplemented, the “Consent Solicitation Statement”) with respect to its outstanding senior notes and debentures (such solicitation with respect to any individual series, a “Consent Solicitation” and collectively, the “Consent Solicitations”).

The expiration date in the Consent Solicitations was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 21, 2021 (the “Expiration Date”), which has now passed. As a result, holders of the Corporation’s 2034 Notes and the Canadian Notes who did not consent on or before the Expiration Date no longer have the opportunity to participate in the Consent Solicitations.

AS PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED, ALL CONSENTS GIVEN PRIOR TO MAY 18, 2021 IN THE CONSENT SOLICITATION WITH RESPECT TO THE 2034 NOTES WERE NO LONGER EFFECTIVE, AND ANY HOLDER OF 2034 NOTES WHO WISHED TO PROVIDE ITS, HIS OR HER CONSENT IN THE CONSENT SOLICITATION WITH RESPECT TO THE 2034 NOTES MUST HAVE VALIDLY GIVEN ITS, HIS OR HER CONSENT ON OR AFTER MAY 18, 2021 AND ON OR PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE.

For the avoidance of doubt, any holder of 2034 Notes who had previously consented to the Consent Solicitation with respect to the 2034 Notes prior to May 18, 2021, must have validly delivered its, his or her consent again in order to receive the Consent Payment (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Statement).

With the receipt of the requisite consents from holders of the 2034 Notes and Canadian Notes, the corresponding Supplemental Indentures have been entered into and are effective and operative.

All holders of the 2034 Notes and the Canadian Notes whose consents were properly given and were not validly revoked on or prior to the Expiration Date will be entitled to receive the applicable Consent Payment, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement. The Corporation intends to make the consent payment with respect to the 2034 Notes and the Canadian Notes on Tuesday, May 25, 2021.

Except as set forth in any amendment or the May 18, 2021 supplement to the Consent Solicitation Statement, the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitations remain the same as set forth and described in the original Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 3, 2021. This press release does not amend any of the terms or conditions of the Consent Solicitation Statement. The Corporation reserves the absolute right, subject to applicable laws, to further amend, waive or modify the terms of the Consent Solicitations in any manner.
