Adobe Selling 5 and 10 Year Notes to Repay Debt

Financial World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

The largest maker of graphic-design software, Adobe Systems Inc., is planning to sell five-and-ten-year notes to repay debt accrued from its $1.8 billion acquisition of Omniture Inc.

 

The offering is the first such issue for the company, and the sale is expected to be benchmark—at least $500 million—in size. The terms of the transaction have not yet been set.

 

The 5-year bonds are expected to pay about 100 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries and the 10-year bonds are expected to pay about 125 basis points more than the benchmark, according to a source at the company.
