Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Nebius Group N.V. (NBIS) reports the closing of a large private offering of convertible senior notes in two tranches to qualified institutional buyers, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $5.75 billion. The offering consists of 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 with an aggregate original principal amount of $3.45 billion and 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 totaling $2.3 billion, after initial purchasers fully exercised options to buy an additional $450 million of 2030 Notes and $300 million of 2034 Notes.

Concurrently, Nebius entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with holders of its existing convertible notes, exchanging $400 million of 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 and $400 million of 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 for approximately 15.8 million Class A ordinary shares. The company states that holders receiving shares may sell them or adjust hedge positions, which could pressure the market price of the Class A shares or other securities.

Nebius intends to use the net proceeds to finance business growth, including data center construction and build-out, development of its full-stack AI cloud, expansion of its data center footprint, procurement of key components such as GPUs, and for general corporate purposes. The notes and any Class A shares issuable upon conversion or in the exchanges are unregistered and may only be offered or sold under applicable exemptions.

Positive

  • $5.75 billion of gross proceeds from new convertible notes strengthen Nebius’s funding capacity for growth projects, including data center build-out and AI cloud development.
  • Exchange of $800 million of existing 2029 and 2031 convertible notes into equity reduces outstanding debt and extends the company’s convertible maturity profile.

Negative

  • Exchanging $800 million of existing convertible notes for approximately 15.8 million Class A shares introduces additional equity dilution for existing shareholders.
  • Nebius highlights that recipients of exchange shares may sell or hedge, which could decrease or limit increases in the market price of its Class A shares or other securities.

Filing Explained

The August 24 Form 6-K incorporates the report into Nebius’s Form F-3ASR and Form S-8 registration statements and supplies the executed indentures for the 2030 and 2034 notes, along with an exchange-agreement form; its added effect is filing documentation, not a new transaction stage.

convertible senior notes financial
"private offering of convertible senior notes, with aggregate gross proceeds"
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.
qualified institutional buyers regulatory
"in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers"
Qualified institutional buyers are large organizations, like big investment firms or banks, that are allowed to buy certain types of investment opportunities not available to everyday investors. Their size and experience matter because it ensures they understand and can handle complex financial deals, making markets more efficient and secure.
exchange agreements financial
"the Company entered into exchange agreements with a limited number"
A contractual arrangement where two or more parties agree to swap assets, securities, or obligations under specified terms and conditions, such as share-for-share exchanges, debt-for-equity conversions, or asset swaps. These agreements matter to investors because they change who owns what and how a company’s balance sheet and future cash flows look—think of it like two people trading items that can alter each person’s overall collection and resale value.
full-stack AI cloud technical
"investments to develop its full-stack AI cloud, the expansion"

Nebius Group announces closing of private offering of convertible senior notes, with aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.75 billion

 

Amsterdam, August 24, 2026—Nebius Group N.V. (“Nebius Group” or the “Company”; NASDAQ: NBIS), the AI cloud company, today announced the closing of its previously announced offering of convertible senior notes, in two series: 0.50% convertible notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and 4.50% convertible notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes”, and together with the 2030 Notes, the “Notes”), in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The initial purchasers exercised in full their options to purchase an additional $450 million aggregate original principal amount of 2030 Notes and $300 million aggregate original principal amount of 2034 Notes. Accordingly, the aggregate original principal amount of the 2030 Notes is $3.45 billion, the aggregate original principal amount of the 2034 Notes is $2.3 billion, and the total aggregate original principal amount of the Notes is $5.75 billion.

 

Concurrently with the pricing of the offering of the Notes, in separate, privately negotiated transactions, the Company entered into exchange agreements with a limited number of holders of the Company’s 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes, the “Existing Notes”) to exchange $400 million aggregate original principal amount of the 2029 Notes and $400 million aggregate original principal amount of the 2031 Notes for an aggregate of approximately 15.8 million of its Class A ordinary shares, par value €0.01 (“Class A shares”). The terms of each such exchange were individually negotiated with each participating holder. Holders of the Existing Notes that participated in such exchanges may sell the Class A shares in the open market and/or enter into or unwind various derivative transactions in connection with hedge positions they may have with respect to the Existing Notes. These activities could decrease (or reduce the size of any increase in) the market price of the Class A shares or the trading price of the Company’s other securities.

 

As previously communicated, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to finance the continuing growth of its business, including 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.

 

Information about the terms of the Notes can be found in the Company’s Report on Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 20, 2026.

 

The offer and sale of the Notes and any Class A shares deliverable upon conversion of the Notes or deliverable in the exchange transactions described above 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 sale of securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
