On July 26, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets, rights, and properties, and the assumption of certain liabilities, comprising Silicon Laboratories Inc. (“Silicon Labs”) Infrastructure and Automotive business (the “Business”) in an all-cash transaction valued at $2.75 billion (the “Asset Purchase”).

The Company expects to account for the Asset Purchase as a business combination and is currently evaluating the purchase price allocation. It is not practicable to disclose the preliminary purchase price allocation or unaudited pro forma combined financial information for this transaction, given the short period of time between the acquisition date and the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the Asset Purchase, on July 26, 2021, the Company borrowed $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of term loans (the “Term Loans”) under the Term Loan Facility to finance a portion of the purchase price for the Asset Purchase and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Interest on the Term Loans is based on the applicable floating interest rate, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s public debt credit ratings. The Term Loans mature on July 26, 2024, and all amounts then-outstanding under the Term Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, are repayable at maturity. There is no premium or penalty for prepayment.
