In August 2016, Microsoft Inc. sold $19.75 billion bonds to
partially fund its acquisition of LinkedIn Corp ($26.2 billion). In
January 2017, Microsoft Inc. issued another $17 billion in bonds
(see the table below). Since most credit rating agencies rated
Microsoft credit as AAA, bond interest managed to very favorable
interest rates (the better the credit rating, the smaller interest
rates the company could enjoy). Proceeds from the seven-part deal,
were expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including
stock buybacks and refinancing (the repayment of short-term debt
used to help fund Microsoft’s acquisition of LinkedIn Corp).
