Key Terms

senior notes, aggregate principal amount, registration statement, prospectus supplement

4 terms

senior notes financial

"has priced an offering of: $200 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.500% senior notes"

Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.

aggregate principal amount financial

"$200 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.500% senior notes due 2031"

The aggregate principal amount is the total amount of money borrowed through a bond or loan that the borrower promises to repay. It’s like the original price tag on a loan or bond, showing how much money is involved in the deal. This number matters because it indicates the size of the debt and helps investors understand the scale of the borrowing.

registration statement regulatory

"The offer is being made pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by TE Connectivity"

A registration statement is a formal document that companies file with a government agency to offer new shares of stock to the public. It provides essential information about the company's finances, operations, and risks, helping investors make informed decisions. Think of it as a detailed product description that ensures transparency and trust before buying into a company.

prospectus supplement regulatory

"which includes a prospectus, and a prospectus supplement dated January 26, 2026."

A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.
