In other recent news, Johnson & Johnson has completed a multi-billion euro public offering of notes, raising significant capital to be used for general corporate purposes. The notes, which range in maturity from 2029 to 2055, were part of an SEC filing and involved major underwriters such as Citigroup (NYSE:C) Global Markets Limited and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC. Additionally, the company has successfully issued $5 billion in new notes with varying maturity dates and interest rates, as part of its capital management strategy. S&P Global Ratings assigned an ’AAA’ rating to these new notes but placed them on CreditWatch Negative, partly due to Johnson & Johnson’s announced acquisition of Intra-Cellular Therapies (NASDAQ:ITCI) Inc., valued at approximately $14.6 billion.
