CoreWeave, 8-K 제출: Regulation FD 공시 및 기타 중요 사건
On September 17, 2026, CoreWeave, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it intends to offer, subject to market and other customary conditions, $3.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its convertible senior notes due 2033 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private offering (the “Convertible Notes Offering”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the Convertible Notes are first issued, up to an additional $500 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes will be general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, the Company expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes or their affiliates and/or one or more other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions will initially cover, subject to certain customary adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.000005 per share (the “Common Stock”) that will initially underlie the Convertible Notes.
If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes, then the Company expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes Offering to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described above and the remainder of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes Offering for general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes, then the Company intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions as described above, and the remainder of any such additional net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
On September 17, 2026, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Jefferies LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., SG Americas Securities, LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, each acting as agent for the Company (each, a “Sales Agent” and collectively, the “Sales Agents”), Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Citibank, N.A. (each, in its capacity as purchaser under any Collared Forward Sale Agreement (as defined below), a “Forward Purchaser” and collectively, the “Forward Purchasers”) and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (each, as agent for its affiliated Forward Purchaser in connection with the offering and sale of any shares of the Common Stock from time to time in connection with a Collared Forward Sale Agreement, a “Forward Seller” and collectively, the “Forward Sellers”).
Pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement, up to 35,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be offered and sold from time to time by the Company through or to the Sales Agents and/or through the offer and sale of borrowed shares of Common Stock by one or more Forward Sellers pursuant to any Collared Forward Sale Agreement. The Company expects to agree with the initial purchasers that no shares of its Common Stock will be sold pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement until at least 30 days after the date of the purchase agreement for the Convertible Notes Offering.
Sales of Common Stock made pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement, if any, will be made by any method permitted by law including, without limitation, an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions, or sales made to or through a market maker at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices and subject to certain limitations in and compliance with the conditions in the Equity Distribution Agreement. In addition, shares of Common Stock may be offered and sold by such other methods, including privately negotiated transactions (including block sales), as the Company and the Sales Agents may agree.
Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock, capital needs and determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company. Any such Common Stock sold will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-296553) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 5, 2026, or a subsequent replacement registration statement.
In connection with any such sales through the Sales Agents, each Sales Agent will receive a commission equal to up to 2.0% of the sales price of all shares of Common Stock sold through it as the Company’s Sales Agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement.
The Equity Distribution Agreement provides that, in addition to the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock by the Company through or to the Sales Agents, the Company may enter into one or more collared forward sale agreements (each, a “Collared Forward Sale Agreement”) with a Forward Purchaser under the applicable master forward confirmation and the related supplemental confirmation between the Company and such Forward Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company will agree to sell to such Forward Purchaser up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Collared Forward Sale Agreement (subject to adjustment as set forth therein). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Distribution Agreement and such Collared Forward Sale Agreement, such Forward Purchaser or its affiliate will use commercially reasonable efforts to borrow, and the affiliated Forward Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Collared Forward Sale Agreement over a forward hedge selling period in connection with the establishment of such Forward Purchaser’s initial hedge positions in respect of such Collared Forward Sale Agreement.
The Company will set the scheduled maturity date for a Collared Forward Sale Agreement at the time it enters into such Collared Forward Sale Agreement based, among other factors, upon the market conditions at the time. Although the Company will not have a right to terminate or settle such Collared Forward Sale Agreement early, the relevant Forward Purchaser will have the right to accelerate the scheduled maturity date for such Collared Forward Sale Agreement at any time on or after a specified first acceleration date, along with certain other customary early termination rights.
The collared forward sale price that the Company expects to receive under any Collared Forward Sale Agreement for each share of Common Stock deliverable thereunder will be equal to an amount determined based on the arithmetic average of volume-weighted average prices of shares of Common Stock during a valuation period that will run prior to the maturity date for such Collared Forward Sale Agreement (whether the scheduled maturity date or an accelerated maturity date at the election of the relevant Forward Purchaser), provided that the collared forward sale price will not be less than the applicable floor price and will not be greater than the applicable cap price (each as defined below), subject to customary adjustment terms set forth in such Collared Forward Sale Agreement.
