The Notes were sold in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of March 8, 2018, among Analog Devices and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, previously filed with the SEC.
The 2020 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.850% per year and will mature on March 12, 2020. The 2021 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.950% per year and will mature on January 12, 2021. Interest on the 2020 Notes is payable on March 12 and September 12 of each year, beginning on September 12, 2018.
