Agilent to Sell $750M in Notes

Jul 13, 2010

By a GenomeWeb staff reporter

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Agilent Technologies today said that it would offer $750 million worth of senior notes through two offerings.

The firm has not filed a final prospectus yet on the offerings. However, in a statement, Agilent said that it would use the proceeds to satisfy, in part, the financing obligation of Agilent Technologies World Trade, the subsidiary that acquired Varian for $1.5 billion in May.

Fitch Ratings placed a 'BBB' rating on the proposed notes offering.
