Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Wayfair Inc. plans to redeem $250 million principal amount of its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027. On March 23, 2026, any called notes not converted before the deadline will be redeemed for cash at par plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Holders of notes called for redemption may instead convert them at any time up to two trading days before the redemption date. Converted notes will be settled in cash up to principal, with any excess conversion value paid in Class A common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares.

The current conversion rate of 15.7597 shares per $1,000 principal will increase to 16.3779 shares per $1,000 for notes called for redemption that are converted during the conversion window, which may lead to additional share issuance and potential dilution.

Insights

Wayfair is prompting early conversion or cash redemption of $250M in 2027 convertibles, balancing debt reduction against potential dilution.

Wayfair is calling $250 million of its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 for redemption. Holders can either accept cash at par plus accrued interest on March 23, 2026, or convert before the deadline under an enhanced conversion rate.

The conversion rate rises from 15.7597 to 16.3779 shares per $1,000 principal for notes converted during the specified period. The company states it currently expects most called notes to be converted, which would reduce debt while increasing Class A share count.

The filing highlights risks around dilution and the uncertainty of holder behavior. Actual outcomes depend on how many investors choose conversion versus cash redemption, and future filings may clarify the realized mix of debt reduction and equity issuance.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 6, 2026, Wayfair Inc. (“Wayfair” or the “Company”) issued a notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to holders of the Company’s 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) calling for redemption (the “Redemption”) $250 million principal amount of the outstanding Notes.
On March 23, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”), any outstanding Notes that are called for Redemption and have not been submitted for conversion will be redeemed for cash at a price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Notes that are called for Redemption may be submitted for conversion at any time before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second scheduled trading day before the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Period”). The Company currently expects that holders of Notes called for Redemption will convert such Notes before the Redemption Date. However, those holders are not obligated to convert their Notes, and the Company will be required to pay the Redemption Price for all Notes called for Redemption that are not converted during the Redemption Period. Notes called for Redemption that are converted during the Redemption Period will be settled with cash up to the principal amount of such Notes and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount of such converted Notes, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares. As of the date of the Redemption Notice, the conversion rate of the Notes is 15.7597 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. However, in accordance with the Indenture governing the Notes, the Conversion Rate applicable to Notes called for Redemption that are converted during the Redemption Period will be increased to 16.3779 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a notice of redemption of the Notes. The redemption is being made solely pursuant to the Notice of Partial Redemption, dated February 6, 2026, relating to the Notes.

FAQ

What action is Wayfair (W) taking with its 3.25% convertible notes?

Wayfair is calling $250 million principal amount of its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 for redemption. Holders can either accept cash at par plus accrued interest on March 23, 2026, or convert their notes before the specified deadline.

When is the redemption date for Wayfair (W) 3.25% convertible notes?

The redemption date for the called 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 is March 23, 2026. On that date, any notes not converted during the allowed period will be redeemed for cash at their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, excluding that date.

What conversion rates apply to Wayfair (W) notes before and during the redemption?

As of the redemption notice, each $1,000 principal of notes converts into 15.7597 Class A shares. For notes called for redemption and converted during the designated period, the conversion rate increases to 16.3779 shares per $1,000, enhancing the equity received on conversion.

How will Wayfair (W) settle conversions of its 3.25% convertible notes?

For notes called for redemption and converted in the allowed window, Wayfair will pay cash up to the principal amount and deliver Class A common stock for any remaining conversion value, plus cash instead of fractional shares. This structure combines debt repayment with potential share issuance.

What are the potential impacts of Wayfair (W) note redemption on shareholders?

If many holders convert, Wayfair reduces outstanding debt but issues additional Class A shares, creating potential dilution. If more investors choose cash redemption, equity dilution lessens but more cash pays principal and interest. The company specifically notes potential dilutive impacts among the key risks.

Until when can Wayfair (W) noteholders elect to convert instead of redeem?

Holders of notes called for redemption may convert at any time before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the second scheduled trading day before March 23, 2026. After this cutoff, remaining called notes will be redeemed for cash at par plus accrued and unpaid interest.
