On September 23, 2026, IQVIA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IQVIA Holdings Inc., completed the issuance and sale of $2.0 billiona in gross proceeds of 6.375% senior notes due 2034.

The notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuer and mature on March 15, 2034, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed. The filing states that the net proceeds will be used to redeem in full the Issuer's Senior 5.000%b Notes due 2026, to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Issuer's revolving credit facility, and to pay fees and expenses related to the offering.
This refinancing replaces existing debt, including a revolver balance, with longer-dated fixed-rate notes. Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, beginning March 15, 2027. The Issuer may redeem the notes before maturity at a customary make-whole premium at any time before September 15, 2029, subject to a customary equity claw redemption right.
After that date, the redemption premium declines from 3.188%c to 0.000%. The indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1, and the filing incorporates the description of the notes under Item 2.03 as well.
