Summary
Honeywell International Inc. (HON) has filed an 8-K report detailing a significant debt offering completed on August 1, 2024. The company successfully issued an aggregate of $3.5 billion in senior notes across four tranches with varying maturities and coupon rates. These notes include $1.15 billion of 4.650% Senior Notes due 2027, $1.0 billion of 4.700% Senior Notes due 2030, $650 million of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2032, and $700 million of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2035.
