Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.   Revolving Credit Facility   On December 8, 2020, QUALCOMM Incorporated (the Company) entered into a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) among the Company, the lenders party thereto, the letter of credit issuers party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and a letter of credit issuer. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 8, 2016 among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer (the Existing Credit Agreement).   The terms of the Credit Agreement provide for $4.47 billion in aggregate amount of commitments for senior unsecured revolving loans which will mature on December 8, 2025, unless otherwise extended in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides that the Company may obtain, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, loans in U.S. Dollars or alternate currencies, including Euros, Pounds Sterling and Yen. Proceeds from the Credit Agreement are expected to be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement is unsecured and is not expected to be guaranteed by any subsidiary of the Company, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.   Loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at the option of the Company, at either the reserve-adjusted Eurocurrency Rate (determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement) plus an initial margin of 0.805% per annum or the Base Rate (determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement has a facility fee, which will initially accrue at a rate of 0.070% per annum, on the actual daily amount of the aggregate commitments of the lenders in respect to the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin over the reserve-adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, as well as the facility fee, will fluctuate based upon the long-term unsecured senior, non-credit enhanced debt ratings of the Company by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.   The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Negative covenants include, among others, certain limitations on the incurrence of liens by the Company and its subsidiaries and the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to consolidated interest expense of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. If any of the events of default occur and are not cured within applicable grace periods or waived, any unpaid amounts under the Credit Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable and the commitments may be terminated.   At this time, the Company has not borrowed any funds under the Credit Agreement.   The foregoing summary of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.   Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.   In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company terminated all remaining commitments of the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement, which were previously scheduled to expire on November 8, 2021. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement at the time of such termination.         Item 2.03.
