Illumina sets up $1.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program for short-term borrowing
Illumina entered into dealer agreements on October 8, 2026, to establish an unsecured commercial paper program allowing short-term notes of up to $1.0 billion outstanding at any time. The company said no notes were outstanding as of the filing date and proceeds are expected to fund general corporate purposes, so the program adds borrowing capacity rather than existing debt.
Key points
- Program caps outstanding CP Notes at $1.0 billion; no notes were outstanding as of the filing date
- Maturities may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue
- Three commercial paper dealers and a national bank as issuing and paying agent
- Proceeds expected for general corporate purposes; dealer agreement form filed as Exhibit 10.1
