On May 21, 2025, QUALCOMM Incorporated (the Company) executed an Officers’ Certificate (the Officers’ Certificate), in accordance with Sections 2.02, 2.03, 10.04 and 10.05 of the Indenture dated May 20, 2015 (the Base Indenture and, together with the Officers’ Certificate, the Indenture) between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the Trustee), in connection with the sale of $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.500% Notes due 2030 (the 2030 Notes), $400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.750% Notes due 2032 (the 2032 Notes) and $600,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.000% Notes due 2035 (the 2035 Notes and, together with the 2030 Notes and 2032 Notes, the Notes). The 2030 Notes mature on May 20, 2030, the 2032 Notes mature on May 20, 2032 and the 2035 Notes mature on May 20, 2035, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed, if applicable. The Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with the Company’s other senior debt from time to time outstanding.
The 2030 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.500% per year, the 2032 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.750% per year and the 2035 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.000% per year. Interest on the Notes will be payable semiannually on May 20 and November 20 of each year, beginning on November 20, 2025. The Company will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding May 1 or November 1, respectively.
The Company may redeem some or all of the notes of each series of Notes at the applicable redemption price, as described in the applicable form of Note.
The Indenture contains customary events of default with respect to the Notes, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Events of default under the Indenture arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the Notes. If any other event of default under the Indenture occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the acceleration of the amounts due under the Notes.
The foregoing description of the Notes and the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 21, 2015, the Officers’ Certificate, which is included as Exhibit 4.2 to this report, and the forms of Notes, which are included as Exhibits 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 to this report, and each of which is incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K.
