Cloudflare issues $2.5 billion of 0% convertible senior notes due 2031

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 financing Written later

Cloudflare issued $2.5 billion of 0% convertible senior notes maturing August 15, 2031, under an indenture dated August 13, 2026. The company reported net proceeds of about $2,462.3 million, of which $259.5 million was used for capped call transactions, with the remainder for general corporate purposes. The notes add a large amount of debt, and conversion into Class A common stock would dilute shareholders unless offset by the capped calls.

Key points

  • Principal of $2.5 billion, 0% interest, maturing August 15, 2031 unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted.
  • Initial conversion price of about $496.94 per share, a 60% premium to the $310.59 closing price on August 10, 2026.
  • Net proceeds of about $2,462.3 million; $259.5 million used to pay for capped call transactions.
  • No optional redemption before August 20, 2029, except a cleanup redemption if less than $200.0 million remains outstanding.
