CoreWeave completed a $4.2bn private sale of convertible senior notes on Tuesday after the buyers exercised a $500m option in full.
The financing is closed.
The Form 8-K reports $4.137bn in net proceeds after the initial purchasers' discounts and before CoreWeave's estimated offering expenses. The company used part of that sum for capped-call transactions and intends to use the rest for general corporate purposes.
The senior unsecured notes pay 2.875% interest and mature in April 2033. Their initial conversion rate is 10.2194 Class A shares for each $1,000 of notes, equivalent to a conversion price of about $97.85 a share.
CoreWeave says the capped calls are expected generally to limit potential dilution or offset cash payments above principal when notes are converted, subject to a cap. That protection is contractual, but its eventual effect depends on future conversions and the share price.
