This offering consists of three tranches: $1.1 billionb in 4.800% senior notes due 2028, $800 million in 5.050% senior notes due 2030, and $1.1 billion in 5.200% senior notes due 2032. These notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the company and are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of existing debt. The issuance was made under Broadcom's existing shelf registration statement and was finalized through an underwriting agreement with a syndicate of reputable financial institutions.
