Company Announcements

AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 18, 2026-- Nebius Group N.V. (“Nebius Group” or the “Company”; NASDAQ: NBIS), a leading AI infrastructure company, today announced the pricing of its offering of $4.0 billion aggregate original principal amount of convertible senior notes, in two series: $2.25 billion aggregate original principal amount of 1.250% convertible notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and $1.75 billion aggregate original principal amount of 2.625% convertible notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”, and together with the 2031 Notes, the “Notes”), in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offering was upsized from the previously announced offering size of $3.75 billion aggregate original principal amount of the Notes. The issuance and sale of the Notes are expected to settle on March 20, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Nebius Group has also granted the initial purchaser an overallotment option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $337.5 million aggregate original principal amount of 2031 Notes and up to an additional $262.5 million aggregate original principal amount of 2033 Notes.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes will be approximately $3.96 billion (or approximately $4.55 billion if the initial purchaser fully exercises its option to purchase additional notes), after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to finance expenditures related to the construction and build-out of its data centers, investments to develop its full-stack AI cloud, the expansion of its data center footprint and the procurement of key components (including GPUs), and for general corporate purposes.

The Notes will be issued pursuant to respective indentures (the “Indentures”) between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and will bear interest on the original principal amount thereof at an annual rate of 1.250%, in the case of the 2031 Notes, and 2.625%, in the case of the 2033 Notes, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2026.

The initial conversion rate for the 2031 Notes is 5.4579 of the Company's Class A ordinary shares, par value €0.01 (“Class A shares”) per $1,000 original principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $183.22 per Class A share. The initial conversion price of the 2031 Notes represents a premium of approximately 57.5% over the last reported sale price of $116.33 per share of the Company’s Class A Shares on Nasdaq on March 17, 2026. The initial conversion rate for the 2033 Notes is 5.5460 Class A shares per $1,000 original principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $180.31 per Class A share. The initial conversion price of the 2033 Notes represents a premium of approximately 55.0% over the last reported sale price of $116.33 per share of the Company’s Class A Shares on Nasdaq on March 17, 2026. The conversion rate and conversion price of each series of Notes will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. For conversions made in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change”, as defined in the respective Indenture, the conversion rate will be increased based on a customary make-whole table. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of the exercise of any conversion rights in respect of the Notes, the conversion rate and conversion price will be based on the original principal amount of Notes, and not the Accreted Principal Amount (as defined below).

The 2031 Notes and the 2033 Notes will mature, and the original principal amount of such Notes plus an amount accreted thereon (together, the “Accreted Principal Amount” in respect of the relevant series of Notes) will be payable, on March 15, 2031 and March 15, 2033, respectively, unless the relevant Notes have been earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. The Accreted Principal Amount for the relevant series of Notes will be calculated in accordance with an accretion schedule to be included in the respective Indenture such that, in each case, it reaches 120% of the original principal amount of the respective series of Notes on the respective maturity date. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of the exercise of any conversion rights in respect of the Notes, the conversion rate and conversion price will be based on the original principal amount of the Notes and not the Accreted Principal Amount.

Taking into account the Accreted Principal Amount payable at the respective maturity date, the effective conversion price of the 2031 Notes is equal to approximately $219.86 per Class A share at maturity, implying an effective conversion premium of approximately 89.0%, and the effective conversion price of the 2033 Notes is equal to approximately $216.37 per Class A share at maturity, implying an effective conversion premium of approximately 86.0%.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately before the date that is two months prior to the respective maturity date of each series of Notes, the Notes of such series will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, including if the last reported sale price of the Class A shares over a specified period of time is equal to or greater than 130% of the product of the conversion price for the relevant series of the notes and the then-applicable ratio of the Accreted Principal Amount at the time to the original principal amount of the Notes (the “Accretion Ratio”). From the date that is two months prior to the respective maturity date of each series of Notes, the Notes of such series will be convertible at any time at the election of the holders of such Notes until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the respective maturity date. The Company will settle conversions of the Notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, Class A shares or a combination of cash and Class A shares, at the Company’s election (subject to certain conditions related to Dutch tax laws).

We may not redeem the Notes prior to March 20, 2029, in the case of the 2031 Notes, and March 20, 2030, in the case of the 2033 Notes, except in the event of certain tax law changes. The respective series of the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash on or after March 20, 2029, in the case of the 2031 Notes, and March 20, 2030, in the case of the 2033 Notes, and on or before the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the relevant maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per Class A share is equal to or exceeds 130% of the product of the conversion price for the relevant series of Notes and the then-applicable Accretion Ratio for such series of Notes for a specified period of time. The redemption price for the relevant series of Notes will be equal to the Accreted Principal Amount as of the redemption date of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the original principal amount thereof to, but excluding, the redemption date. Following delivery of a redemption notice by the Company in respect of a series of the Notes, holders of the Notes of such series will have the right, at their option, to convert their Notes prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date, at the conversion rate applicable at the time. No make-whole adjustments to the conversion rate will be made in connection with any optional redemption or tax redemption.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “fundamental change” occur, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the Accreted Principal Amount of the relevant series of Notes to be repurchased as of the fundamental change repurchase date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the original principal amount thereof to, but excluding, such repurchase date.

The offer and sale of the Notes and any Class A shares deliverable upon conversion of the Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the Notes and any such Class A shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws.

This press release does not and shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of such securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
