Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (MRVL - Free Report) on Monday announced that it has closed the proposed senior notes offering worth $2 billion. Notably, the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Marvell Technology, Inc. (MTI) had issued the notes last week in three tranches of different maturities, carrying different interest rates.
The company priced notes worth $500 million, having an annualized interest rate of 1.65% and maturity in 2026. Another senior note worth $750 million carries an annualized interest rate of 2.45% and will mature in 2028. Additional $750 million worth senior notes carrying an annualized interest rate of 2.95% will mature in 2031.
Marvell projects that the net proceeds from the aforementioned offering to be $1.98 billion. The company also noted that the interests accrued on the above-mentioned senior notes would be payable semi-annually on Apr 15 and Oct 15 of each year.
Marvell intends to use the net proceeds to fund the proposed acquisition of Inphi Corporation , which is likely to close this month after a shareholders meeting on Apr 15. Markedly, last October, Marvell and Inphi inked a definitive agreement, under which the former would acquire the latter in a cash-and-stock deal worth $10 billion.
The acquisition will integrate Inphi's powerful electro-optics interconnect platform into Marvell’s storage, networking, processor and security portfolio, broadening its leadership in data centers and extending the 5G network infrastructure. The total addressable market of the combined company will also expand with this deal.
Marvell plans to reorganize the combined company and create a $40-billion semiconductor powerhouse. Inphi's growing clout among cloud customers will also open up additional opportunities for the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company's DPU and ASIC products.
The deal will likely generate annual run-rate synergies of $125 million to be realized within 18 months after the transaction’s conclusion. It will also be accretive to Marvell's non-GAAP earnings per share by the end of the first year after the deal’s closure.
Borrowing costs continue to be low, enabling companies to obtain easy financing. With the U.S. treasuries offering low rates, corporate bonds and borrowings from banks are now witnessing high demand.
In the past few months, several companies have issued senior notes to improve liquidity. Last month, NCR Corporation raised $1.1 billion through the issuance of 5.125% senior unsecured notes. Additionally, Twilio (TWLO - Free Report) raised $1 billion through issuing senior notes to enhance its financial flexibility in March.
5 Stocks Set to Double
Each was hand-picked by a Zacks expert as the #1 favorite stock to gain +100% or more in 2020. Each comes from a different sector and has unique qualities and catalysts that could fuel exceptional growth.
Most of the stocks in this report are flying under Wall Street radar, which provides a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor.
