Analysis · GOOGL · Technology
Alphabet has finalized the terms and pricing for a significant portion of its previously announced capital raise, now totaling $84.75 billion. This includes an $18 billion public offering of Class A and Class C common stock, a $16.75 billion offering of mandatory convertible preferred stock, and a $10 billion private placement with Berkshire Hathaway.
