Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) raised $5.5 billion in an Australian corporate debt transaction.

The final allocation exceeded the initial $4 billion target due to institutional investor demand.

“The transaction is further validation of the growing importance and sophistication of the Australian corporate bond market,” said Aware Super head of defensive assets Sonia Baillie.

The debt sale included four maturity tranches ranging from three to 20 years.

Domestic buyers secured 60% of the offering as technology firms expand global capacity.
