Offering Settlement and Conversion Terms

CoreWeave expects the transaction to settle on September 22, subject to customary closing conditions. Additionally, purchasers may acquire another $500 million in notes during a 13-day settlement period.

Exercising that option would raise the total principal amount available through the private offering to approximately $4.2 billion. Investors may convert before January 3, 2033, only during specified periods or following qualifying events.

CoreWeave may settle conversions using cash, Class A common shares, or both payment methods. Each $1,000 principal amount initially converts into 10.2194 shares, producing an approximate conversion price of $97.85.

That figure represents a 22.5% premium over CoreWeave’s September 17 closing price of $79.88. Nevertheless, the conversion rate may change when certain corporate events occur under the offering terms. Moreover, investors may request cash repurchases following a fundamental change, subject to defined conditions and exceptions.

Expected Proceeds and Dilution Protection

CoreWeave expects $3.64 billion in net proceeds, while exercising the additional option could increase the amount to approximately $4.14 billion. The company will allocate roughly $498.8 million toward capped call transactions and use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.

Those transactions cover the underlying Class A shares, while their $199.70 cap price represents a 150% premium over September 17’s closing price. Consequently, the arrangements could limit conversion-related dilution, although dilution remains possible if CoreWeave’s measured stock price exceeds the cap price.

CoreWeave offered the securities solely to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. CoreWeave’s expanded offering increases available corporate capital, while capped calls provide limited protection against conversion-related shareholder dilution.
