Broadcom Inc. Initiates Cash Tender Offers for Outstanding Debt Securities
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) has officially launched cash tender offers aimed at purchasing specific debt securities that it currently holds. This significant move, announced on June 11, 2026, underscores the company’s commitment to active financial management and optimizing its outstanding debts.
The tender offers encompass several series of senior notes, including the:
- - 4.926% Senior Notes due in 2037
- - 4.900% Senior Notes due in 2038
- - 5.050% Senior Notes due in 2030
- - 5.200% Senior Notes due in 2032
- - 5.150% Senior Notes due in 2031
- - 4.900% Senior Notes due in 2032
Together, these notes have a total potential purchase cap of
$2.5 billion, excluding any accrued coupon payments. While Broadcom has the option to raise this cap, it currently limits the total consideration to this amount. According to the announcement, if any series of notes is accepted, all validly tendered notes from that series will be taken into consideration. However, purchase may vary based upon a specific priority level assigned to each series of notes.
Details of the Offer
The announcement specifies that the total consideration for each series of notes will be dependent on their respective maturity or par call dates, plus a fixed spread indexed to certain reference yields. The prices will be based on rates quoted on June 17, 2026, potentially adjusting as necessary following this date. Holders of these notes are also entitled to receive an accrued coupon payment alongside any amount paid for the notes themselves.
The process is set to conclude on
June 17, 2026, at 5 PM New York City time, although Broadcom has the option to extend this deadline if deemed necessary. Investors hoping to participate in the tender offer or looking for clarity on their options will need to engage with their financial intermediaries to ensure participation before any deadlines, as these may vary.
In addition to announcing the formal tender, Broadcom has designated
Barclays Capital Inc. and
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as the dealer managers for the offers, with
D.F. King & Co., Inc. acting as the tender and information agent. These firms will assist in facilitating the tender process and provide additional information as needed.
