[424B5] Yandex N.V. Class A Prospectus Supplement (Debt Securities)
Nebius Group N.V. is offering Class A ordinary shares listed on Nasdaq under the symbol NBIS, with a stated offering program and an underwriter option for an additional $150 million. The prospectus notes a last reported Nasdaq price of $95.72 per share on September 9, 2025. Nebius is a full-stack AI cloud infrastructure provider with data centers in Finland, co-location sites in France and Iceland, and recent U.S. expansion in Kansas City and Vineland, New Jersey. Recent material developments include a commercial agreement with Microsoft with a total contract value of about $17.4 billion through 2031 (up to $19.4 billion if Microsoft acquires additional capacity). Nebius has outstanding convertible notes issued June 5, 2025: $500 million 2.00% notes due 2029 and $500 million 3.00% notes due 2031. Concurrent offerings include proposed 2030 and 2032 convertible notes of $1.0 billion each. The company intends to use proceeds to expand compute, hardware and data center footprint and may finance Microsoft-related capex with deal cash flows and secured debt. The prospectus emphasizes forward-looking risks, potential dilution from convertible instruments, substantial financing needs, and that completion of concurrent note offerings is not assured.
- Large commercial agreement with Microsoft totaling approximately $17.4 billion through 2031, with potential to increase to about $19.4 billion.
- Established global footprint with owned and co-location data centers in Europe and recent U.S. expansions (Kansas City and Vineland, NJ).
- Full-stack, vertically integrated infrastructure (in-house hardware and software) designed specifically for AI workloads, which can improve performance and cost efficiency.
- Existing convertible financing completed ($500M 2.00% due 2029 and $500M 3.00% due 2031) providing near-term capital.
- Significant near-term financing needs tied to Microsoft deployment and broader expansion; completion of concurrent note offerings is not assured.
- High dilution risk from multiple convertible note issuances and planned equity offering, which could materially dilute existing shareholders.
- Material execution and concentration risk from reliance on securing financing and delivering builds on schedule to meet the Microsoft contract.
- Elevated leverage and refinancing risk given multiple convertible debt series and potential repurchase obligations on fundamental change events.
Insights
TL;DR: A transformative multi-year Microsoft contract materially expands revenue visibility but massively increases capital and execution demands.
Nebius has secured an unusually large commercial commitment from Microsoft—about $17.4 billion through 2031 (potentially $19.4 billion). That contract, if executed, would provide substantial revenue backlog and justify aggressive capacity expansion. However, the firm has already issued $1.0 billion of convertible notes (two series) and is pursuing additional convertible financings (2030 and 2032 notes) and an equity offering, reflecting heavy near-term funding needs to deliver capacity. Key metrics investors should note from the filing: $17.4B contract value, $500M 2029 notes, $500M 2031 notes outstanding, and planned $1.0B series for 2030 and 2032 (each). The accounting and dilution impacts of multiple convertible instruments may depress reported EPS and shareholder value absent rapid revenue realization and strong margins.
TL;DR: The Microsoft agreement is strategically transformational but creates concentrated counterparty and execution risk.
The five-year Microsoft commercial agreement to access dedicated GPU clusters in Vineland represents a major enterprise contract, giving Nebius the opportunity to secure long-term utilization and scale. Structurally, Nebius expects to finance related capex via a mix of deal cash flows and debt secured against the contract—common for infrastructure deals but dependent on successful financings and meeting deployment milestones. The prospectus explicitly states obligations commence only after confirmation of securing additional financing, highlighting conditionality. The arrangement materially raises the stakes for timely facility build-out, vendor procurement (GPUs), and execution of financing strategies; failure in any leg could strain liquidity and contractual performance.
