Snowflake raises $3.75B via zero-coupon convertible notes to refinance 2027 debt and fund strategic M&A optionality.

Snowflake closed a $3.75 billion dual-tranche zero-coupon convertible note offering — upsized from $3.5 billion — with net proceeds of approximately $3.70 billion. Management immediately deployed $548.3 million to retire $261.8 million principal of existing 2027 notes and $383.5 million to purchase capped call structures, leaving the balance for share buybacks, M&A, or further debt retirement. The structure — zero coupon, 52.5% and 47.5% conversion premiums, capped calls at 150% of spot — signals Snowflake is optimizing its capital structure for acquisition firepower while minimizing near-term dilution.

Read filing description ↓

We believe that a cloud computing platform that puts data and artificial intelligence (AI) at its core will offer great benefits to organizations by allowing them to realize the value of the data that powers their businesses. By offering rich primitives for data and applications, we believe that we can create a data connected world where organizations have seamless access to explore, share, and unlock the value of data. Our vision is a world where data and AI turn possibilities into reality. To realize this vision, we deliver the AI Data Cloud, a network where Snowflake customers, partners, developers, data providers, and data consumers can break down data silos and derive value from a growing number of data sets in secure, governed, and compliant ways. Our platform is the innovative technology that powers the AI Data Cloud, enabling customers to consolidate data into a single source of truth to drive meaningful insights, apply AI to solve business problems, build data applications, and share data and data products. We provide our platform through a customer-centric, consumption-based business model. Our cloud-native architecture includes three independently scalable but logically integrated layers across storage, compute, and cloud services. The storage layer ingests massive amounts and varieties of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. The compute layer provides dedicated resources to enable users to simultaneously access common data sets for many use cases with minimal latency. Within the compute layer, users can clean and prepare their data, including any required metadata and business semantics, to create governed, unified data records that are AI ready and are written back to the storage layer. The cloud services layer enables users to securely use AI within applications, tools, and processes. This architecture is built on three major public clouds across 53 regional deployments around the world.
