Issuer: | VMware, Inc. | |
Securities: | $750,000,000 4.500% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”)
$500,000,000 4.650% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”)
$750,000,000 4.700% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes” and, together with the 2025 Notes and the 2027 Notes, the “Notes”) | |
Trade Date: | April 2, 2020 | |
Settlement Date: | April 7, 2020 (T+3) | |
It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about April 7, 2020, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (such settlement cycle being referred to herein as ‘‘T+3’’). Under Rule15c6-1 pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on the date of pricing will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade those Notes on the date of pricing should consult their own advisor. | ||
