  The notes are structurally subordinated to $97.5 billion of subsidiary and securitization entity liabilities (including $92.3 billion of indebtedness and deposit liabilities at the Bank). As a holding company, Synchrony depends on dividends from its subsidiaries, particularly the Bank, to service these notes; regulatory restrictions could limit cash available to make payments.

  These notes have narrower acceleration rights than Synchrony's pre-August 2024 senior debt. Noteholders cannot accelerate for covenant breaches (other than payment defaults), cross-defaults, or Bank bankruptcy events. Principal payment defaults require a 30-day cure period before acceleration, whereas older debt accelerates immediately.
