Senior Notes Indenture and Senior Notes
On April 21, 2026, CoreWeave, Inc. (“CoreWeave”) completed its previously announced private offering of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9.750% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Additional Notes”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Additional Notes were issued as additional notes pursuant to the indenture, dated as of April 14, 2026 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of the date hereof (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), each by and among CoreWeave, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. As previously announced, on April 14, 2026, CoreWeave issued $1,750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.750% Senior Notes due 2031 under the Base Indenture (the “Existing Notes” and, together with the Additional Notes, the “Notes”), which Existing Notes form a single class with the Additional Notes issued on the date hereof, for a total of $2,750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding under the Indenture. The Additional Notes have substantially identical terms as the Existing Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price. The Additional Notes were issued at an issue price equal to 102.000% of the principal amount thereof.
CoreWeave intends to use the proceeds from the offering of the Additional Notes for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, repayment of outstanding indebtedness, and to pay fees, costs and expenses in connection with the offering of the Additional Notes.
The Notes will mature on October 1, 2031 and bear interest at a rate of 9.750% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2026. Interest on the Notes will accrue from April 14, 2026.
The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of CoreWeave and certain of CoreWeave’s future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee CoreWeave’s existing revolving credit facility.
CoreWeave may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time prior to October 1, 2028 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus a make-whole premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. CoreWeave may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time on or after October 1, 2028 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. At any time prior to October 1, 2028, up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, at the redemption price specified in the Indenture.
Upon the occurrence of specified kinds of change of control triggering events, holders of the Notes will have the right to require CoreWeave to repurchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
The Indenture limits, among other things, the ability of CoreWeave and its restricted subsidiaries to (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or certain preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of equity interests or make other restricted payments; (iii) create liens on certain assets to secure indebtedness; (iv) make certain investments; (v) sell certain assets; (vi) enter into certain transactions with CoreWeave’s affiliates; (vii) merge or consolidate with other persons or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of CoreWeave’s assets; and (viii) designate CoreWeave’s restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions that are set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods).
The foregoing summary of the Indenture and the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Base Indenture and form of Notes, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to CoreWeave’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2026 and incorporated herein by reference, and the Supplemental Indenture, filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
