Robinhood completes offering of $2.2bn of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2029
Robinhood Markets, Inc (NASDAQ:HOOD) has announced the closing of its previously announced private offering of $2.2 billion aggregate principal amount of its 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2029 in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The offering represents the aggregate of both the previously announced offering of $2.0 billion, as well as the full exercise of the $200 million option to purchase additional Notes granted by Robinhood to the initial purchasers of the Notes.
“Our business continues to grow rapidly as we deliver industry-leading products to our customers,” said Shiv Verma, Robinhood Chief Financial Officer. “And this transaction gives us even more strategic flexibility to invest for future growth.”
The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $2.169 billion, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated expenses payable by Robinhood. Robinhood used approximately $290 million of the net proceeds from the Offering to repurchase 2.743 million shares of its Class A common stock and $123.2 million of the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the costs of capped call transactions.
It intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the Offering, if any, for general corporate purposes, which may include organic growth investments, potential acquisitions and/or capital expenditures.
In addition, following the Offering, Robinhood may repurchase additional shares of its Class A common stock pursuant to Robinhood’s stock repurchase program.
The capped call transactions entered into in connection with the offering are expected to generally reduce potential dilution to the common stock upon conversion of the Notes or to offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with the reduction or offset subject to a cap initially equal to approximately $237.85 per share (an approximately 125% premium to the closing price of Robinhood’s Class A common stock on the offering date of June 22, 2026).
