Analysis · ABBV · Life Sciences
AbbVie locked in pricing on a $10 billion, nine-tranche senior notes offering to finance its $10.9 billion acquisition of Apogee Therapeutics. The final terms reveal coupons ranging from SOFR+42bps on floating-rate notes to 6.100% on 40-year bonds, with yields modestly above benchmark Treasuries. A special mandatory redemption feature protects investors in the first seven tranches: if the Apogee deal falls through, those notes must be redeemed at 101% of principal. The long-dated 2056 and 2066 notes carry no such protection, reflecting their role as permanent capital. This pricing follows the preliminary prospectus filed yesterday and confirms strong demand across the maturity spectrum, with the deal expected to settle August 18.
