Apple Inc. est une entreprise multinationale américaine qui conçoit et commercialise des produits électroniques, des logiciels et des services informatiques.

L'analyse d'une émission obligataire spécifique révèle les caractéristiques clés d'un instrument de dette émis par un acteur majeur du marché financier mondial. Cette obligation, identifiée par le code ISIN US037833AR12 et le code CUSIP 037833AR1, a été émise par Apple, une multinationale américaine prééminente dans la conception, le développement et la commercialisation de produits électroniques grand public, de logiciels et de services en ligne, dont la position dominante et la robustesse financière lui permettent d'accéder efficacement aux marchés de capitaux pour financer ses opérations et sa croissance. L'émission, libellée en dollars américains (USD) et émise depuis les États-Unis, représentait un montant total significatif de 3 milliards de dollars (3 000 000 000 USD), avec une taille minimale d'acquisition fixée à 2 000 USD, permettant ainsi une participation ciblée des investisseurs. Caractérisée par un taux d'intérêt de 2,85%, cette obligation prévoyait des paiements semi-annuels, assurant un flux de revenus régulier aux détenteurs. Ayant atteint sa date d'échéance le 5 mai 2021, l'obligation a été entièrement remboursée à sa valeur nominale de 100% à cette date, confirmant le respect des engagements de l'émetteur. La qualité de crédit de cette émission était jugée exceptionnellement élevée par les principales agences de notation, avec une note de AA+ attribuée par Standard & Poor's (S&P) et une note de Aa1 par Moody's, soulignant ainsi la très faible probabilité de défaut associée à cette dette d'entreprise.

We may from time to time issue further notes ranking equally and ratably with
the notes in all respects, including the same terms as to status, redemption or
otherwise.

Use of proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds from sales of the notes, which we estimate
will be approximately $11.95 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts
and our offering expenses, for general corporate purposes, including

expanded program to return capital to shareholders. On April 23, 2014, we
