Apple has confirmed a $7.5 billion bond sale through SEC filings, slightly higher than initial expectations. The company plans to issue bonds in seven series maturing between 2028 and 2036, featuring a mix of floating-rate and fixed-rate notes. The final pricing term sheet reveals specific details for each maturity date, including varying interest rates tied to market benchmarks like SOFR. While Apple aims to raise $7.5 billion, the net proceeds are expected to be approximately $7.47 billion after accounting for costs and discounts. The funds will be allocated to general corporate purposes, including stock repurchases, dividend payments, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and debt repayment.
