Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) extended the expiration date of its exchange offers for Qorvo's 2029 and 2031 senior notes to September 11, 2026. The offers aim to exchange up to $850M of 2029 notes and $700M of 2031 notes for new Skyworks notes. As of September 1, 90.55% of 2029 notes and 93.36% of 2031 notes were tendered.
