Summary

As part of financing its acquisition of Apogee Therapeutics, AbbVie entered an underwriting agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and SG Americas Securities, LLC to issue and sell $10 billion of senior notes across nine series, from floating-rate notes due 2028 to 6.100% senior notes due 2066, with net proceeds expected at about $9.93 billion. AbbVie expects the sale to close on August 18, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Key points

  • The offering comprises $500 million of floating rate notes due 2028 and eight fixed-rate series, including $1.5 billion of 4.875% senior notes due 2031 and $500 million of 6.100% senior notes due 2066.
  • The notes are being offered under AbbVie's Form S-3ASR shelf registration statement dated February 14, 2025, at public prices ranging from 99.441% to 100% of principal.
  • Net proceeds will also be used for general corporate purposes, which may include repaying or repurchasing outstanding debt, and will reduce commitments under AbbVie's $10.0 billion 364-day delayed draw term loan facility tied to the Apogee acquisition.
