Analysis · TXN · Manufacturing
Rather than leaning entirely on the $5 billion delayed-draw term loan it set up in June 2026, TI is pre-funding a chunk of the $7.5 billion all-cash Silicon Labs purchase with new senior unsecured notes. Bondholders get a backstop: if the merger falls apart or isn't done by the termination date, TI must redeem the notes at 101% of principal. Critically, the note sale closes regardless of whether the acquisition does, so TI could be sitting on several billion of new debt earning money-market returns if the deal slips. Pricing settled the blanks: $2.0 billion across four $500 million tranches at 5.000% (2028), 5.350% (2031), 5.500% (2033) and 5.750% (2036), settling November 9, 2026, so the cost of this debt is now known even as the resulting leverage depends on the deal. Existing debt was $13.7 billion principal at September 30, 2026, and this adds to it.
