Abbott completed a public offering of USD 20 billion of senior notes. The issuance included USD 1 billion of floating-rate notes due 2029 and USD 19 billion of fixed-rate notes across seven tranches. The fixed-rate tranches ranged from 4% notes due 2031 to 6% notes due 2066. Abbott said it plans to use the net proceeds, along with cash and/or additional borrowings, to fund its planned acquisition of Exact Sciences and related costs. If the Exact Sciences deal is not completed by the specified deadline or Abbott ends pursuit, the company must redeem any notes then outstanding at 101% of principal plus accrued interest.
