Neutral Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

Alphabet closed concurrent underwritten public offerings of $20 billion in U.S. dollar senior notes and £5.5 billion in Sterling senior notes on February 13, 2026. The notes mature between 2029 and 2126, and the filing does not state how Alphabet plans to use the proceeds, so shareholders can see the new borrowing but not its purpose from this filing.

Key points

  • U.S. dollar notes total $20 billion across seven tranches due 2029 to 2066, with coupons from 3.700% to 5.750%.
  • Sterling notes total £5.5 billion across five tranches due 2029 to 2126, with coupons from 4.125% to 6.125%.
  • The notes were issued under a 2016 indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, under Form S-3 registration statement File No. 333-286752.
