Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the purpose of this $1 billion senior notes offering?

    While the filing doesn't explicitly state the use of proceeds, senior note offerings are typically used for general corporate purposes, which can include funding operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or refinancing existing debt. Investors should refer to other company disclosures for more specific information on fund utilization.

  2. What are the interest rates and maturity dates of the new notes?

    The offering includes $500 million of 3.924% Senior Notes due 2032 and $500 million of 4.393% Senior Notes due 2052. The 2032 notes mature on June 1, 2032, and the 2052 notes mature on June 1, 2052.

  3. Under what conditions can AMD redeem these notes before maturity?

    AMD can redeem the notes at its option prior to specific "Applicable Par Call Dates" (three months before maturity for 2032 notes, six months before maturity for 2052 notes) at a price calculated based on present values of remaining payments plus a spread over the Treasury rate, or at 100% of principal if redeemed on or after the applicable par call date. Both redemptions would also include accrued interest.

  4. What happens to the notes if there is a significant change in control at AMD?

    If a "Change of Control Triggering Event" occurs, noteholders have the right to require AMD to repurchase their notes for cash at 101% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. This provides a level of protection for investors in such an event.
