Some stock.. some of Sandisk's cash.. but yes, mostly debt:

SanDisk shareholders will receive $67.50 in cash and 0.2387 Western Digital share for each share of SanDisk stock.

What many investors remain concerned about is that Western Digital is planning to offer some $17 billion or so in debt to help pay for the SanDisk buyout. Of that large sum, $3.0 billion will be a bridge loan. The rest is a set of traunches that are secured and unsecured debt. The company also telegraphed that it should be able to tap $4 billion of SanDisk’s cash to repay the bridge.

> The company also telegraphed

I assume this is business lingo for something, and doesn't mean they sent an actual telegraph?

[AJRF]

Telegraphing can simply mean the act of displaying something outwardly.

Used extensively in the context of E-Sports when someone does something that the other player can see and prepare for.

[jcadam]

Or in boxing, "telegraphing" a punch, where you draw your arm back making it obvious what you're about to do so that you're opponent can prepare to block/dodge/counter/etc.

[AJRF]

Exactly correct. Perhaps your example is a little more relevant than mine.

[StavrosK]

Basically, "indicated".
