Summary
Autodesk, Inc. has announced the establishment of an unsecured commercial paper program with a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion. This program allows the company to issue short-term debt notes with maturities up to 365 days to fund general corporate purposes, including partially financing the previously announced merger with Matterhorn Acquisition Corp.
