Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 18, 2013, Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.375% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of June 10, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 18, 2013 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), each between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”).
The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of the Company's existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. Interest on the Notes will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year beginning on September 15, 2013.
Prior to December 15, 2022 (three months prior to the maturity date), the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at its option at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date; and
the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Indenture) plus 25 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.
On or after December 15, 2022 (three months prior to the maturity date), the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at its option at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The net proceeds of this offering were approximately $490 million. Subject to market conditions and other factors, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to repurchase shares of its common stock and for general corporate purposes. The Company will use its cash on hand to redeem, repurchase or repay at maturity all of its outstanding 3.45% Senior Notes due June 14, 2013. The Notes were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to its registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-167435) (the “Registration Statement”).
The foregoing description of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.4 to the Company's Registration Statement, filed on June 10, 2010, and to the full text of the Second Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto. Each of the foregoing documents is incorporated by reference herein.
In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company is filing as Exhibit 5.1 hereto an opinion of counsel addressing the validity of the Notes. Such opinion is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.
