Meta Platforms, Inc. is offering 250,000,000 Series A Depositary Shares, each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. Each depositary share has a $50 liquidation preference ($1,000 per preferred share). Dividends are cumulative and payable when, as and if declared, in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in Class A shares or a combination; Class C shares may also be used after the Class C Dividend Trigger Date.
Unless converted earlier, each preferred share automatically converts on the second business day immediately following the last trading day of a 20-trading-day averaging period beginning on the 21st scheduled trading day before August 15, 2029. Conversion is into Class A shares unless the Class C Trigger Event occurs, in which case Class C shares apply. A declared dividend of one Class C share for each outstanding Class A and Class B share is contingent on the amended charter’s January 19, 2027 effective date.
Underwriters have a 30-day option to buy up to 37,500,000 additional depositary shares solely to cover over-allotments. Meta intends to use net proceeds for general corporate purposes. Separately, the concurrent offering involves $22.5 billion of Class A shares sold by the forward purchasers or their affiliates; Meta does not expect initial proceeds from those sales.
Meta Platforms, Inc. is offering, on preliminary terms, $22,500,000,000 of Class A Common Stock through forward sellers that borrow shares from third parties and sell them to underwriters. Meta does not expect initial proceeds from those sales; it expects net proceeds when the forward sale agreements settle, on dates it selects subject to conditions and on or before November 19, 2027. If a forward seller cannot borrow and deliver shares on the anticipated closing date under stated conditions, Meta will issue and sell the corresponding shares directly. Underwriters have a 30-calendar-day option to purchase up to an additional $3,375,000,000 of shares.
Separately, Meta declared a dividend of one Class C share for each outstanding Class A and Class B share, contingent on effectiveness of its amended charter, which has an effective date of January 19, 2027. Upon effectiveness, Class A shares carry one vote per share, Class B ten votes per share, and Class C no voting rights except as specified in the charter or required by law. Meta is also offering 250,000,000 Series A Depositary Shares in a separate concurrent offering. Meta says forward settlement would dilute earnings per share and return on equity, while derivative fair-value changes could cause volatility in reported results.
Meta Platforms, Inc. filed a shelf registration statement allowing it to offer common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts and units from time to time after the registration statement becomes effective. An applicable prospectus supplement will set the specific terms and distribution method for each offering. Unless a supplement specifies otherwise, net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
Class A common stock carries one vote per share and Class B common stock carries ten votes per share. While Class B represents a majority of voting power, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder, Chairman and CEO, will effectively control shareholder matters and the company’s overall management.

An October 21, 2026 New Mexico court order imposed a $25 billion civil penalty with 15% post-judgment interest; Meta said it intends to appeal.

Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) says holders with approximately 56.1% of voting power approved a restated charter and 2025 Equity Incentive Plan amendment by written consent on October 20, 2026. The charter creates nonvoting Class C common stock; the plan will allow Class C as well as Class A shares, effective January 19, 2027. Subject to filing and effectiveness, the board declared a 1:1 dividend of Class C for each outstanding Class A and Class B share. The board will set the payment date, no later than the fifth business day after effectiveness. Meta expects to use Class C for future capital raises, employee compensation and potential acquisitions.
An agreement with Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's founder, Chairman and CEO, makes 20% of the Holder Group's dividend shares freely saleable; the other 80% are generally subject to a corresponding Class A or Class B sale, a Class B-to-Class A conversion, or Stapling Credits. If Zuckerberg meets the Continued Leadership Condition throughout a calendar quarter, 2.5% of the shares issued to the Holder Group are released from restrictions; remaining shares are released after 32 qualifying quarters. Subject to legally available funds, future 1:1 dividends to all then-outstanding classes require Class C's 30-day VWAP to reach successive doublings of the corresponding Class A price—$580.60 on September 10, 2026—and annualized shareholder return of at least 10%.
Meta Platforms, Inc. reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $64.601 billion, up 26% year over year, and net income of $9.860 billion, up 264%. Operating income fell 37% to $12.988 billion, while operating margin was 20%, versus 40% a year earlier. An agreement with 52 U.S. attorneys general to resolve litigation provides for payments of up to approximately $18.59 billion; related third-quarter expenses included a $9.89 billion charge. Free cash flow was negative $2.12 billion, compared with $10.625 billion.
Meta expects fourth-quarter revenue of $73–76 billion and full-year 2026 capital expenditures, including principal payments on finance leases, of $135–145 billion. It expects the new non-voting Class C share class to take effect January 19, 2027. If the amended charter becomes effective, holders of each outstanding Class A and Class B share will receive one Class C share; the dividend will not change voting power. Under an agreement with founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, 20% of shares issued to the Holder Group are freely saleable, while the other 80% are subject to restrictions generally tied to corresponding Class A or B sales, Class B conversions, or accumulated credits.
