Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 28, 2025, we had $1,050 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $501 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $77 million from December 29, 2024 due to factors described in the “Cash Flow Summary” below. Our primary source of liquidity, other than our holdings of cash, cash equivalents, and investments, has been cash flows from operations and, from time to time, issuances of debt. Our ability to generate cash from operations, supplemented with the issuance of debt and/or liquidation of our short-term investments, provides us with the financial flexibility we need to meet operating, investing, and financing needs. As of September 28, 2025, we had $228 million in short-term investments, comprised of marketable equity securities.
In September 2024, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Term Notes, which mature on September 9, 2026, and accrue interest at a rate of 4.650% per annum, payable semi-annually in March and September of each year. In December 2022, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Term Notes and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2027 Term Notes. The 2025 Notes, which mature on December 12, 2025, and the 2027 Notes, which mature on December 13, 2027, accrue interest at a rate of 5.800% and 5.750% per annum, respectively, payable semi-annually in June and December of each year. In March 2021, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2031 Term Notes, which mature on March 23, 2031, and accrue interest at a rate of 2.550% per annum, payable semi-annually in March and September of each year. We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Term Notes, at our option, at any time prior to maturity.
In January 2023, we entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides us with a $750 million senior unsecured five year revolving credit facility, including a $40 million sublimit for swingline borrowings and a $50 million sublimit for letters of credit. The credit facility matures, and all amounts outstanding become due and payable in full, on January 4, 2028, subject to two one-year extensions at our option and consent of the extending lenders and certain other conditions. As of September 28, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings.
On June 22, 2025, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Standard BioTools to acquire SomaLogic and other specified assets for $350 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments. The Purchase Agreement further provides for, in connection with the revenues generated from certain products and services, (i) royalty streams and (ii) up to $75 million in potential milestone payments to Standard BioTools. The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights if the consummation of the acquisition does not occur on or before March 23, 2026, subject to three automatic three-month extensions related to obtaining required regulatory approvals. Upon termination of the Purchase Agreement under specified circumstances relating to the failure to obtain regulatory approvals, we would be required to pay Standard BioTools a termination fee of $14.5 million.
As of September 28, 2025, the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to GRAIL was $43 million, of which $42 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The contingent value rights entitle the holders to receive future cash payments on a quarterly basis (Covered Revenue Payments) representing a pro rata portion of certain GRAIL-related revenues (Covered Revenues) each year through August 2033. This reflects a 2.5% payment right to the first $1 billion of revenue each year for 12 years. Revenue above $1 billion each year is subject to a 9% contingent payment right during this same period. In YTD 2025, we paid $994,000 in aggregate Covered Revenue Payments related to aggregate Covered Revenues for the period Q4 2024 through Q2 2025 of $106 million.
In August 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program, which cancels and supersedes all prior and available repurchase authorizations, to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of our outstanding common stock. The repurchases may be completed through open market purchases, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 or Rule 10b-18, or through an accelerated share repurchase program. Authorizations to repurchase up to approximately $684 million of our outstanding common stock remained available as of September 28, 2025. We intend to repurchase incremental shares over the remainder of 2025.
We had $3 million (plus recallable distributions of approximately $10 million), $39 million, and $27 million, respectively, remaining in our capital commitments to three venture capital investment funds as of September 28, 2025 that are callable through April 2026, July 2029, and December 2034, respectively.
We anticipate that our current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, together with cash provided by operating activities and available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, are sufficient to fund our near-term capital and operating needs for at least the next 12 months, including the cash requirements of funding the pending acquisition of SomaLogic as described above. Operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our primary short-term needs for capital, which are subject to change, may include:
support of commercialization efforts related to our current and future products;
acquisitions of equipment and other fixed assets for use in our current and future manufacturing and research and development facilities;
the continued advancement of research and development efforts;
potential strategic acquisitions and investments, including the pending acquisition of SomaLogic;
repayment of debt obligations;
repurchases of our outstanding common stock; and
the evolving needs of our facilities, including costs of leasing and building out facilities.
We expect that our revenue and results of operations, as well as the status of each of our new product development programs, will significantly impact our cash management decisions. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including:
our ability to successfully commercialize and further develop our technologies and create innovative products in our markets;
scientific progress in our research and development programs and the magnitude of those programs;
competing technological and market developments; and
the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.

Operating Activities
