Shearman & Sterling LLP represented Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Barclays Capital, Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as initial purchasers, in connection with a $750 million issuance of 6.250% senior notes due 2026 by Sensata Technologies UK Financing Co. plc (the “issuer”), a newly formed indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sensata Technologies N.V. and a subsidiary of Sensata Technologies B.V.

The CST Acquisition was consummated on December 1, 2015.
