Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) borrowed $5 billion in the U.S. investment-grade bond market on Monday to refinance some of the loans it secured for its $69 billion acquisition of VMware Inc.

The software developer sold debt in three parts, Bloomberg cites a familiar source.

After initial talks, the longest tranche yields 0.95 percentage points over Treasuries, approximately 1.25 percentage points above Treasuries.

The planned debt sale comes more than seven months after Broadcom closed its acquisition of VMware and nearly a year after the company secured up to $28.4 billion in new debt commitments to fund its purchase.

Broadcom split the committed financing into three parts: a $10.7 billion A-2 facility, a $10.7 billion A-3 facility, and a $7 billion A-5 facility. The company will use the proceeds from the sale to prepay a portion of the term A-2 loans under its term loan credit agreement and for general corporate purposes, leaving at least $23.4 billion of debt still needing refinancing.

Analysts forecast Broadcom will generate $11 billion – $12 billion in AI revenues in 2024, increasing to $14 billion – $15 billion in 2025.

Broadcom stock gained over 100% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ), and SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY).
