Kate Middleton reportedly made it clear to the late Queen Elizabeth what role she would play before marrying Prince William. According to a royal author, the Princess of Wales expressed her thoughts on taking on royal responsibilities.
She allegedly clarified that she would always prioritize her family over royal obligations. The 44-year-old reportedly refused to be "pigeonholed" into obeying certain duties. For those unversed, William and Middleton got married on April 29, 2011.
Kate Middleton reportedly laid out her expectations regarding royal duties to the late Queen Elizabeth before marrying Prince William. Royal biographer Robert Jobson discussed the matter in his book, "Catherine, The Princess of Wales: The Biography." According to Jobson (via RadarOnline), the mother of three had established a few "fundamental life rules" that she intended to follow after joining "The Firm."
The Princess of Wales reportedly made her intentions clear to the late queen and her son, now King Charles. "She was clear from the outset that she would not be pigeonholed into carrying out particular duties. Her priority, she emphasized, would always be her family," the author wrote.
Furthermore, a source told the outlet that Middleton was "determined" to prevent the palace's expectations from "overshadowing her private life." Her commitment to maintaining those boundaries reportedly became even more important after she welcomed her three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Barcelona's La Liga **** le defense is flying high as Hansi Flick's Blaugranas are a perfect 9-0-0 to start the season.
Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid sit third with 21 points, six back of the throne room, and the possible six-point swing that is the first Clasico of the season is coming up this week.

Raphinha is leading the way for Barcelona with 12 goals through seven outings as one of three finishers off to red-hot starts to the season (Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez).
Real have been led in goals by Kylian Mbappe but are waiting for other players to follow suit, though Arda Guler's impressed in the playmaking department and Jude Bellingham is starting to warm up nicely. But Mourinho won't be able to count on suspended Vinicius Junior.

Real Madrid left-back Marc Cucurella talked to the press after the team's convincing 4-1 win over Sevilla in La Liga. The Spanish defender was pleased with the effort.
"I think we played a very good game from the start. We had quite a bit of control and knew when to attack quickly and when to maintain more possession. I think we played a very solid 90 minutes," he said.
Cucurella was also very happy for Eder Militao, who made his return from injury last night.
"He's a great player with a lot of personality. He also contributes a lot to the locker room. He's a very cheerful guy, and I'm very happy to have him back. Now, we have just a few injured players, but little by little, we're getting there. The important thing is to have everyone available. It's a very long season. There are many matches, and the more players we have available, the better," he explained.
Lastly, he previewed the upcoming match against Leipzig in the Champions League.

Hansi Flick is on the verge of reaching 100 victories as Barcelona manager, with the Champions League meeting against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes offering the German a chance to achieve the landmark against one of Europe's leading sides.
Flick has consistently played down individual records, preferring to focus on Barcelona's performances and collective objectives.
Yet his remarkable start at the club has made another milestone difficult to ignore.
After guiding Barça to a ninth consecutive league victory, he now has the opportunity to record his 100th win in just his 129th match across all competitions.
Notably, those victories have already delivered two La Liga **** les, two Spanish Super Cups and one Copa del Rey.

Real Madrid played some of their best football of the season to secure an important 4-1 victory over Sevilla in La Liga.
The performance was a confidence boost for Jose Mourinho's side ahead of El Clasico, with the manager's changes playing a particularly important role.
Yan Diomande has written his name into Real Madrid's history books, becoming the youngest player to score and provide an ******* ist in the same La Liga match for the club in the 21st century.
He achieved the milestone at 19 years and 338 days, surpassing Jude Bellingham's previous record of 20 years and 51 days.
The achievement highlights the impressive attacking talent Madrid have in Diomande, who continues to demonstrate his ability to influence matches in different ways.

Gary Neville is hugely impressed with what he's seen of Carlos Baleba over the last week.
The midfielder has now overseen his first three appearances for Manchester United since making a £70 million move from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer.

Baleba endured a delayed start to the campaign due to an ankle ligament injury that he sustained in pre-season with the Seagulls, meaning his debut only came on October 10 during the draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
His first start then came three days later against Atletico Madrid, which also marked his maiden appearance in the Champions League, and he was also deployed from the off at Elland Road yesterday.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has approved a move for Stuttgart's Finn Jeltsch, setting up a transfer battle with arch-rivals Real Madrid for one of Germany's most promising young centre-backs.
According to Sport, Flick wants Barca to pursue the 20-year-old, who has attracted interest from several European heavyweights after his impressive development in the Bundesliga.
Real Madrid are also monitoring Jeltsch, while Liverpool are reportedly prepared to offer around €50 million to secure his signature.
Barcelona could face major competition if they decide to formalise their interest in the German international.
Flick has identified Jeltsch as a potential target ahead of next summer, as the Barcelona boss continues to use his knowledge of German football to spot promising additions.

Barcelona look to continue their history-making perfect start to the season and make it three wins out of three in the Champions League as the La Liga leaders travel to France for a massive league phase clash against two-time defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Here's how we think Hansi Flick will line up his troops for Tuesday's battle:
Flick is dealing with a defensive injury crisis as Eric Garcia, Jules Kounde and Andreas Christensen have all been ruled out through injury.
Gerard Martín was also a doubt after a knock against Real Betis at the weekend, but he should be good to go as Pau Cubarsí's center-back partner in this one. Xavi Espart will likely move to right-back with Eric and Kounde out, and João Cancelo is expected to start ahead of Alejandro Balde at left-back.
Rodri was a candidate to start at center-back with all the injuries in defense but Martín's presence will allow the Spain captain to remain in his best position, with Fermín López and Pedri expected to round out the midfield trio for this one.

Miesha Shakes wants to question Montia Sabbag about the recording and its investigation in her ongoing legal dispute with Hart.
Kevin Hart's former ****** istant Miesha Shakes wants Montia Sabbag, the woman involved in his 2017 ****** tape scandal, to testify in the comedian's lawsuit against her.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Shakes said she wants to question Sabbag about the recording and the investigation that followed. She also plans to testify herself and call Hart as a witness.
Hart sued Shakes in December 2023 after she discussed his private life during an interview with blogger Tasha K, whose real name is Latasha Kebe. Shakes worked for Hart's company from August 2017 to October 2020. His complaint accused her of defamation and breaching a nondisclosure agreement. Hart denied her claims that he recorded a ****** ual encounter and faced criminal charges over it.
Shakes argues the agreement is invalid because Hart failed to meet obligations under it. Hart disputes that argument and says her comments damaged his reputation. In June 2026, he asked a judge to order Shakes to pay $50,000, citing the damages provision in their agreement.

Kevin Hart's 2017 ***** tape scandal could resurface in court as Montia Sabbag may be called to testify in the comedian's ongoing legal battle. Sabbag, who was involved in the controversial recording, could now face questions about the incident and the investigation that followed.
Kevin Hart's former ***** istant Miesha Shakes is seeking testimony from Montia Sabbag in her legal dispute with the comedian, potentially bringing Hart's controversial 2017 ***** tape scandal back into the spotlight. According to TMZ, Shakes wants Sabbag questioned about the video and the investigation that followed.
Sabbag was at the center of the scandal after a video involving her and Hart became the subject of an extortion investigation. She has acknowledged that she appears in the recording but has denied any involvement in making it or in the extortion attempt that followed. Shakes now reportedly wants her account of those events to become part of the current proceedings.
Sabbag's potential involvement comes amid a separate dispute between Hart and Shakes over a non-disclosure agreement. Hart has accused his former ***** istant of violating the agreement by discussing his personal life in an interview with a blogger. Shakes has disputed that claim and argued that Hart failed to fulfill obligations under the agreement, which she says makes the deal invalid.
The two sides also disagree over who is responsible for damage to Hart's reputation. Hart has accused Shakes of harming his public image, while Shakes has argued that Hart's own actions have contributed to it, citing the ***** tape controversy among other examples. Shakes plans to testify in the case and wants Hart to do the same. The legal proceedings are ongoing.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday evening temporarily allowing the use of red-dyed diesel on public roads and deferring the federal excise tax on that fuel through the end of the year, a move aimed at lowering costs for truckers and farmers facing record-high diesel prices.
Red-dyed diesel is chemically the same product as standard highway diesel, but carries a red dye to mark it as off-road fuel — meaning it is not subject to the 24.4-cent-per-gallon federal excise tax that applies to diesel sold at the pump for road use, such as for tractors and heavy machinery. Using it in highway vehicles has been illegal, carrying penalties for tax evasion, according to CNBC.
According to the White House, the order instructs the Treasury Secretary to hold off on collecting federal excise taxes on highway use of dyed diesel between October 5 and December 31, 2026, and to do so without charging interest or imposing penalties. The Treasury is also directed to direct the Internal Revenue Service not to impose penalties for on-road use of dyed diesel during that period. The order further instructs officials to explore pathways, including legislation, to eliminate the deferred tax obligations entirely.
The White House projected that a trucker who tops off an 18-wheeler's tank with 250 gallons stands to save over $100 on a single fill-up, provided the trucker's state suspends its own diesel tax as well. On top of the federal levy, each state levies its own diesel excise tax, and those state-level taxes average out to 35.5 cents per gallon, according to CNN.
The order also directs the Secretary of Agriculture to coordinate with agricultural cooperatives and rural fuel distributors to ensure adequate dyed diesel distribution in high-demand areas, and the Secretary of Transportation to engage with state governments and industry stakeholders. The White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs was directed to encourage states to adopt corresponding policies.

Elizabeth Debicki has built a career around following unexpected possibilities. Born in Paris and raised in Australia, the actress grew up surrounded by performance but did not always imagine herself becoming a screen star. Archaeology, history and even law once competed for her attention before acting ultimately became her chosen path. That curiosity has remained visible in a career spanning stylish spy movies, ambitious science fiction and acclaimed television drama. Rather than following a predictable route, Debicki has repeatedly embraced roles that challenge what audiences expect from her.
Debicki was born to professional dancers, a Polish father and an Australian mother of Irish heritage. After the family moved to Melbourne when she was young, dance became an important part of her childhood. She trained in ballet before eventually deciding that acting offered the creative direction she wanted to pursue. Growing up as the eldest of three children also gave her a reputation within the family for being confident and ****** ertive, even though she has described her younger self as more awkward and bookish.
Before settling on drama, Debicki was fascinated by archaeology and the stories hidden within history. She also considered studying law and performed strongly academically. Acting ultimately won, and she studied drama at the Victorian College of the Arts at the University of Melbourne. Soon after graduating, she began attracting professional opportunities that quickly moved her career forward.
One of her important early breakthroughs came when Baz Luhrmann cast her as Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby. The 2013 film placed Debicki alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire, introducing her to a large international audience. She followed it with Guy Ritchie's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. in 2015, playing the sophisticated villain Victoria Vinciguerra. The role pushed her into the stylish world of action cinema, despite Debicki not being a driver herself at the time.
Her versatility became increasingly apparent through projects including The Night Manager, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Widows. In 2020, she joined Christopher Nolan's Tenet as Kat, bringing emotional vulnerability to a complicated science fiction thriller filled with elaborate action sequences and unusual ideas about time.

Two of the seven men accused of ***** ually ***** aulting a Cornell University student at a fraternity house in 2024 were expelled, while others were ordered to take ***** ual harassment training and write "reflection papers," according to university disciplinary records obtained by the New York Times.
The records offer the most detailed look yet at how Cornell handled the case, which has drawn national outrage and is now under criminal investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
On Friday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said that a woman who alleges she was drugged and raped by multiple members of a Cornell University fraternity in 2024 was "failed" by those obligated to protect her.
Hochul's comments came a day after announcing she had lost faith in the district attorney overseeing the Cornell University rape case and signed an executive order appointing James as a special prosecutor to lead the investigation.
"In what world would the police learn from a victim that she'd been literally gang raped while intoxicated by five men in a fraternity house and not elevate those allegations to the district attorney?" Hochul said at a press conference with James in New York. "In what world does the district attorney not even interview her or anyone else involved or even request the full transcript?

On September 8, 2026, Reuters reported that Paramount Skydance Corporation (NASDAQ:PSKY) said California Attorney General Rob Bonta made television statements that contradict his own legal arguments against Paramount's request for a $1.88 billion bond in the ongoing court fight over its roughly $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD).
Bonta's office has argued the bond is unnecessary because Paramount voluntarily agreed to pause the deal's closing rather than wait for a court injunction. But Paramount described that same pause as equivalent to an injunction in media interviews, which it argues legally requires the states to post a bond under antitrust law. A hearing is scheduled for September 24.
Paramount Skydance Corporation (NASDAQ:PSKY) could protect a significant portion of its financial position if the court grants its $1.88 billion bond request. Paramount says the delay could cost it about $1.3 billion in fees to Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders by the time the case concludes in April 2027. A bond would give Paramount a potential path to recover those losses if it ultimately defeats the states' challenge. It reduces the financial damage from a prolonged legal process.
Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD) is receiving financial protection from the transaction's delay through Paramount's ticking fees. Paramount agreed to pay WBD shareholders approximately $7 million per day starting October 1 if the transaction does not close, creating a growing payment obligation for Paramount. It is also providing WBD shareholders with compensation for waiting. The arrangement gives WBD a financial benefit from the prolonged closing process even as the companies await a final legal resolution.
The legal dispute has not eliminated the strategic rationale for combining the two media companies. Paramount argues that the merger would strengthen the film and television industry and lead to more content while giving the combined company greater scale to compete with Netflix and Disney. For Paramount, completing the acquisition would speed up David Ellison's plan to build a larger media competitor. WBD shareholders would receive the transaction consideration rather than remain exposed to the company's standalone turnaround.

The transition toward renewable energy is creating massive opportunities for infrastructure providers. Eos Energy Enterprises (NASDAQ:EOSE) and GE Vernova (NYSE:GEV) represent two distinct ways to play this trend in 2026.
Eos focuses on specialized zinc-based batteries for long-duration energy storage. GE Vernova is a diversified giant that services a massive portion of the world's electricity grid. Comparing these two helps clarify whether you prefer a high-growth disruptor or an established power leader.
Eos Energy Enterprises produces aqueous zinc batteries designed as a safer, scalable alternative to lithium-ion. It operates primarily within the industrial stocks **** e, targeting utilities and commercial developers. Customer concentration like this adds a layer of risk to the business, as two clients accounted for approximately 70% of total revenue in 2025.
In FY 2025, revenue reached approximately $114.2 million. This represents growth of nearly 631.8% compared to the prior fiscal year. The company reported a pre-tax net loss of roughly $969.6 million, resulting in a negative net margin of approximately 849.1%.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the company had a debt-to-equity ratio of -1.0x. This value indicates that total liabilities exceed shareholder equity. The current ratio, which measures the ability to cover short term obligations with short term **** ets, was approximately 4.9x, while free cash flow was nearly negative $265.0 million.

Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., on Sunday downplayed concerns that President Donald Trump may have violated the Constitution when reporters from Politico, MS NOW and CNN were banned from covering the White House on Saturday.
Asked directly whether the president had violated the Constitution, Barrasso said, “No, I believe the press has an obligation to report fairly.”
Pressed again on whether he agreed with Trump’s ban, Barrasso said, “We all respect and value the freedom of the press — it’s in the Constitution.”
“He was banned from Twitter. He was banned from Facebook, and I didn’t see people come to his defense,” the Wyoming senator told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “So it goes both ways. The press has an obligation to report fairly, and the president doesn’t see it happening that way.”
Pressed on whether the president’s decision to ban the reporters from White House coverage violated the First Amendment, Barrasso demurred, saying again, “I believe the press has an obligation to report fairly.”

Osaic has been hit with a class action suit claiming the firm put its own profits ahead of customers in how it has handled its various cash sweep programs.
In the suit filed in Arizona federal court, Osaic customers Robin Nackman and Douglas Whittaker accused Osaic of a "dramatic underpayment of interest" to their customers, violating their "contractual, implied and/or fiduciary obligations" to the plaintiffs.
"Despite its representation to the contrary, Osaic categorically has not adjusted interest rates paid to customers based on economic or prevailing market factors, but rather has kept the sweep rates artificially depressed as to reap substantial profits for itself," the complaint read.
In the complaint, Nackman and Whittaker argue that typically, uninvested cash from customer accounts is moved (or "swept") into interest-bearing accounts, generating client returns.

On September 4, the U.S. Department of War (DoW) announced a $336,112,000 Navy contract for Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (NYSE:HII) to advance procurement of long-lead materials for the construction of the future USS William J. Clinton (CVN 82).
Work on the program will be executed in Newport News, Virginia, with completion anticipated by March 2039. Shipbuilding and conversion funding from FY 2026 will be obligated at the time of award.
The contract is not just a headline number, but reaffirms the company's status as the sole nuclear carrier builder for the U.S. Navy.
The long lead materials contract has secured Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (NYSE:HII)'s role on the CVN 82 well before construction begins, which has extended revenue visibility to 2039.
According to defense websites, the Navy plans on spending $22.34 billion on its aircraft carrier replacement program over the next five years. This contract can be seen as among the first in a larger sequence, with more awards to come as procurement accelerates.

Financially challenged fast-food franchisees have been lining up to file for bankruptcy protection in 2026 to reorganize their businesses and restructure debt.
Hardee's Phoenix-based restaurant franchisee Superior Star LLC , filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 9, facing an alleged seller financing dispute, according to court papers. A burger chain rival, Checkers Drive-In franchisee C.S.

An equal $100,000 split across SGOV, JAAA, and CLOZ generates roughly $465 monthly at a blended 5.6% yield, no dividend stocks required.
CLOZ's 7.35% trailing yield on BBB-B rated CLO tranches drives $204 of the monthly income but carries the portfolio's highest credit risk.
Floating-rate CLO coupons in JAAA and CLOZ keep effective duration near zero, shielding principal from long-term rate swings while outpaying Treasury bills.

Income investors do not have to own dividend stocks to generate a meaningful monthly check. An equal $100,000 split across the iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:SGOV), Janus Henderson AAA CLO ETF (NYSEARCA: JAAA), and Eldridge BBB-B CLO ETF (NYSEARCA:CLOZ) currently produces roughly $465 a month based on trailing distribution yields. The portfolio gets there without owning a single dividend stock and with very little traditional interest-rate exposure. Instead, SGOV owns Treasury bills, while JAAA and CLOZ invest in floating-rate collateralized loan obligations. That combination gives income investors three different steps up the risk ladder without requiring a move into equities.

During the September 14 episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer addressed the broader tech sector pullback and mentioned Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) as an attractive option for investors looking past short-term volatility. He stated:
Well, it's a tough time to come out to San Francisco, a day when the whole AI complex is getting hammered because Anthropic and OpenAI seem to be, I don't know… pulling in their horns. Actually, I think there's some real bargains in this group. Take Broadcom, the maker of chips, networking equipment, and tech infrastructure and software with a stock that's down more than 10% over the past month. At the beginning of this month, Broadcom reported a strong set of results, issued a spectacular multi-year forecast, but their guidance for the current quarter was, I don't know, viewed by some as in line.
The stock got slammed. I think Broadcom's still on track to put up some incredible growth because they're at the heart of the AI ecosystem because the company's never let us down in all the years my Charitable Trust has owned it. And down here, roughly 150 points below its June high, the stock may be too cheap to ignore.
Recent financial reports from Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) highlights the scale of expansion driving its core semiconductor and infrastructure divisions. Total revenue for the fiscal third quarter reached $29.6 billion, representing an 85.5% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. Artificial intelligence semiconductor revenue surged 221% to $16.7 billion, accounting for roughly 56% of total revenue. Remaining performance obligations climbed significantly to $179.2 billion, providing substantial visibility into future contracted revenue. Broadcom also serves major hyperscale AI customers including Alphabet and Meta Platforms.
Management raised its full year guidance to $58 billion from $56 billion in artificial intelligence revenue, while projecting $115 billion for fiscal 2027 and $230 billion for fiscal 2028. The figures highlight a deep integration into the enterprise artificial intelligence ecosystem through custom accelerators and high-speed networking solutions.

Ascendis Pharma A/S (NASDAQ:ASND) announced on September 14 that it will regain exclusive rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize TransCon products in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases following the termination of its collaboration with Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:NVO).
The rights include once-monthly TransCon Semaglutide, an investigational long-acting prodrug of semaglutide intended for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Neither party will have continuing financial obligations to the other. Once termination becomes effective and the rights revert, management plans to initiate multiple programs across rare and large indications.
The investment question is whether greater control over future products can justify the resources needed to develop them.
Ascendis Pharma A/S (NASDAQ:ASND) would regain flexibility over which indications to pursue, how quickly to advance candidates, and whether to seek another partner. Successful independent development could retain more of a product's commercial economics, while a new collaboration could provide another way to share costs and risk.
Monthly dosing offers a clear development objective. If clinical studies demonstrate effective treatment with acceptable tolerability, fewer injections could make long-term therapy more convenient. That potential benefit would matter most if it helps patients stay on treatment without sacrificing outcomes.

For around 15 hours, immigration detention officers kept Raúl Suárez Herrero confined in a cage slightly larger than a phone booth, where he feared snakes and endured mosquitoes in the middle of Florida swampland, the former detainee alleged.
Suárez, 59, told José Díaz-Balart in an interview for Noticias Telemundo’s “Ahora 360” that he was forced into the cage, measuring 7 feet, 9 inches high and 4 feet, 3 inches square, for praying out loud for an ill young man at “Alligator Alcatraz,” an ICE detention site.
“I feel like I was in ****** ,” Suárez later told NBC News in a phone interview from Mexico, where he was deported.
Suárez spoke days after a Department of Homeland Security watchdog confirmed the use of the phone booth-sized cages at the now-shuttered Florida detention camp in a Sept. 11 report.
“The use of such restrictive ****** es is highly unconventional and does not align with standards for humane treatment,” the report said.

About 13 years ago, “American Idol” contestant Caleb Flynn gushed about his wife Ashley, who he said encouraged him to audition for the 12th season of ABC’s singing competition.
“I love my wife more than anything,” he said in an interview during his brief stint on the show. “She’s very, very pretty, just – woof, I love her.”
Now, Flynn stands trial for her murder, as investigators allege the former music pastor fatally shot his wife of almost 16 years and staged the crime scene to make it appear she was killed by an intruder.
Flynn, 40, was arrested in February, days after he frantically called 911 to report someone broke into their Tipp City, Ohio, home and killed his wife – a beloved middle school volleyball coach – while he was in their daughters’ bedroom.
“We’re looking forward to trying the case,” his defense attorney, Patrick Mulligan, told CNN Tuesday. “We’ve been waiting for this.”

Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ:STX) announced on September 9 that its subsidiary, Seagate HDD Cayman, completed the redemption and exchange of its remaining 3.50% exchangeable senior notes due 2028 on September 8. Approximately $150.7 million of principal was retired through a settlement involving approximately $150.97 million in cash and 1,647,862 ordinary shares.
For notes submitted for exchange, principal was paid in cash, and the exchange obligation above principal was settled in shares, with cash for fractional shares where applicable. The share delivery therefore satisfied an existing contractual obligation.
Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ:STX) has removed a 2028 maturity and the remaining settlement uncertainty attached to this instrument. Based on the approximately $150.7 million principal balance and 3.50% coupon, the transaction eliminates roughly $5.3 million of annual stated interest. That is a calculated annualized saving before taxes and any interest income lost on the cash used.
Recent cash generation supports the ability to absorb the payment. As of July 3, 2026, Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ:STX) reported $1.704 billion in cash and cash equivalents. Fiscal fourth-quarter free cash flow was $1.118 billion. This company-defined non-GAAP measure is operating cash flow less acquisitions of property, equipment, and leasehold improvements.
The settlement cash payment equals approximately 8.9% of that reported cash balance. Although the July figure predates settlement, it provides a useful measure of the transaction's scale.

American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT) priced $1.6 billion of senior notes on September 9: $500 million at 5.300% due 2031, $500 million at 5.560% due 2033, and $600 million at 5.750% due 2036. Once issued, the three tranches would carry combined annual coupons of $88.8 million, equivalent to a weighted average coupon of 5.55%.
American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT) expects approximately $1.580 billion in net proceeds. It intends to use $600 million to repay 1.450% notes due in 2026, with additional proceeds designated for revolving-credit debt and general corporate purposes. The financing exchanges a near-term repayment requirement and some revolving debt for longer fixed-rate obligations.
The investment question is whether greater funding certainty compensates for the higher cash-interest commitment.
American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT) would remove a $600 million maturity falling due this year once the planned repayment occurs. That reduces exposure to having to refinance the obligation closer to its deadline, when borrowing conditions could be less favorable.
The new maturities also distribute principal repayments across 2031, 2033 and 2036. For American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT), a spread of repayment dates can support financial planning across its communications-site and data-center portfolio. Fixed coupons make the cost of this funding predictable.
