Autodesk prices $1.0 billion of notes due 2029 and 2033 to repay term loan
Autodesk sold $1.0 billion of senior notes in two $500 million tranches, due 2029 and 2033, under an underwriting agreement dated September 8, 2026. The company plans to use the proceeds, along with cash on hand, to repay $1.0 billion of its term loan, so the deal refinances existing borrowing rather than adding a stated new use of funds.
Key points
- 2029 Notes: $500 million at 5.050% interest, paid semi-annually
- 2033 Notes: $500 million at 5.650% interest, paid semi-annually, first payment March 15, 2027
- Proceeds plus cash on hand to repay $1.0 billion under a term loan dated June 15, 2026
- Indenture limits liens, sale-leasebacks and certain mergers; a bankruptcy or payment default could trigger acceleration
