Skyworks Solutions issues $2.0 billion in senior notes to help fund Qorvo merger
Skyworks Solutions issued $2.0 billion of senior notes in three tranches due 2028, 2032 and 2036, to help finance about $3.00 billion in cash consideration for its planned acquisition of Qorvo. The 2028 and 2036 notes carry a special mandatory redemption if the Qorvo merger is not completed, which shifts some financing risk back to the company if the deal fails.
Key points
- Issued $800 million of 5.000% notes due 2028, $600 million of 5.750% notes due 2032 and $600 million of 6.250% notes due 2036
- Proceeds, together with existing cash, are intended to fund about $3.00 billion in cash consideration for the Qorvo merger
- 2028 and 2036 notes must be redeemed early if the Qorvo merger does not close by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on November 3, 2027, or if the company abandons or the merger agreement is terminated
- Notes were issued under an indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee
