Why It Matters This filing signals CDW is raising $1.5 billion of long‑term debt, which will increase its outstanding debt and future interest expense at the stated coupon rates. The maturities (2029–2033) and coupon levels give investors a clearer view of the company’s near‑term financing commitments and cost of borrowing. The expected close date (Sept. 21, 2026) and use of a registered public offering mean these notes will be broadly marketed to investors under the listed registration documents.
