The notes carry a fixed coupon rate of 2.400% per annum and are due in 2031.

This issuance increases Autodesk's total debt by $1 billion. While it provides additional capital, it also increases the company's leverage and future interest payment obligations. Investors should evaluate how this impacts Autodesk's debt-to-equity ratio and overall financial risk profile.

This is a debt offering. Autodesk is issuing notes, which represent a loan to the company that must be repaid with interest, rather than selling shares of its stock.
