Nebius finalized terms on a $5.0 billion convertible notes offering, upsized from the $4.5 billion announced yesterday. The deal splits into $3.0B of 0.50% notes due 2030 and $2.0B of 4.50% notes due 2034, with conversion prices set at $313.46 and $324.65 per share — premiums of 40% and 45% over the August 19 closing price of $223.90. The company also entered exchange agreements to swap $800M of existing 2029 and 2031 notes for approximately 15.8 million Class A shares.
