This 8-K provides the definitive terms for a substantial debt offering, following the company's earlier disclosure of its intent to raise capital for the JDE Peet's acquisition. The successful pricing of $2.55 billion in USD notes and €3.0 billion in Euro notes (approximately $5.79 billion total, using a 1.08 EUR/USD exchange rate) secures a major funding component for the previously announced JDE Peet's acquisition.

Investors should monitor the closing of these offerings and the progress of the JDE Peet's acquisition and the planned separation of businesses.
