2025 Convertible Senior Notes
In June 2020, we issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 0.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). The 2025 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 0.375% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2020. The 2025 Notes were converted prior to or settled on the maturity date of June 1, 2025 in accordance with their terms.
The following table presents details of our 2025 Notes (number of shares in millions):

Holders of the 2025 Notes were able to early convert their 2025 Notes in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 up to March 1, 2025, and conversion requests received on or after March 1, 2025 were settled upon maturity of the 2025 Notes. During the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, we repaid in cash $966 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. We also issued 14 million shares of our common stock to the holders of the 2025 Notes during each of the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, for the conversion value in excess of the principal amount. These shares were fully offset by shares we received from the corresponding exercise of the associated note hedges.

2025 Note Hedges
To minimize the impact of potential economic dilution upon conversion of our 2025 Notes, we entered into separate convertible note hedge transactions (the “2025 Note Hedges”) with respect to our common stock concurrent with the issuance of the 2025 Notes.
The following table presents details of our Note Hedges (in millions):
Initial Number of SharesAggregate Purchase
2025 Note Hedges40 $371 
The 2025 Note Hedges covered shares of our common stock at a strike price per share that corresponded to the initial conversion price of the 2025 Notes and were exercisable upon conversion of the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Note Hedges expired upon maturity of the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Note Hedges were separate transactions and were not part of the terms of the 2025 Notes. Holders of the 2025 Notes did not have any rights with respect to the 2025 Note Hedges. Any shares of our common stock that were receivable by us under the 2025 Note Hedges were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were antidilutive.
As a result of the conversions of the 2025 Notes during the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, we exercised the corresponding portion of our 2025 Note Hedges and received 14 million shares of our common stock during each of the respective periods.
2025 Warrants
Separately, but concurrently with the issuance of our 2025 Notes, we entered into transactions whereby we sold warrants (the “2025 Warrants”) to acquire shares of our common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The 2025 Warrants were exercisable over 60 scheduled trading days beginning September 2025.
The following table presents details of our 2025 Warrants (in millions, except per share data):
Initial Number of SharesStrike Price per ShareAggregate Proceeds
2025 Warrants40 $68.08 $203 
The shares that were issuable under the 2025 Warrants were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when the average market value per share of our common stock for the reporting period exceeded the strike price of the 2025 Warrants.
During the year ended July 31, 2026, we net settled all of the 2025 Warrants with the issuance of 27 million shares of our common stock with a fair value of $5.6 billion. The number of net shares issued was determined based on the number of 2025 Warrants exercised multiplied by the difference between the strike price of the 2025 Warrants and their daily volume-weighted-average stock price.
2030 Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Calls
2030 Convertible Senior Notes
In February 2026, in connection with the acquisition of CyberArk, we entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated as of June 10, 2025 (together with the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), between CyberArk, as issuer, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, governing CyberArk’s $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 0.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”). As a result of our acquisition of CyberArk and pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture, the 2030 Notes are no longer convertible into ordinary shares of CyberArk. The conversion feature has been modified such that each $1,000 principal amount of the 2030 Notes are exchangeable for a combination of (i) approximately 4.3161 shares of our common stock, which is the effective initial conversion rate, and (ii) cash of $88.2630, subject to adjustment under the Indenture. These modifications result in the 2030 Notes being exchangeable initially for 5.4 million shares of our common stock with an effective initial conversion price of approximately $211.24 per share of common stock, subject to adjustments, and an initial cash amount of $110 million. The 2030 Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, and the Indenture does not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness, or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries. The 2030 Notes mature on June 15, 2030.
We may redeem for cash all or, subject to certain limitations, any portion of the 2030 Notes, at our option, on or after June 20, 2028 and on or prior to the 31st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least $280.75 per share for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on and including the trading day preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption. Any redemption of the 2030 Notes will be at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date. If we call any or all of the 2030 Notes for redemption, holders may convert such 2030 Notes called for redemption at an increased conversion rate at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date.
Holders of the 2030 Notes may surrender their 2030 Notes for conversion at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 15, 2030 under the following circumstances:
•during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended on September 30, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock is greater than or equal to $280.75 per share of our common stock on each applicable trading day for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter (the “sale price condition”);
•during the five business day period immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2030 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the aggregate of (i) the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock on each such trading day and the conversion rate for the 2030 Notes on each such trading day and (ii) $88.2630; or
•upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described in the Indenture.
On or after February 15, 2030, holders may surrender all or, subject to certain limitations, any portion of their 2030 Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, and such conversions will be settled upon the maturity date.
Upon any conversion of the 2030 Notes, holders of the 2030 Notes will receive cash equal to the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be converted, and, at our election, cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock for any amounts in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes converted. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in connection with certain events. Holders of the 2030 Notes who convert their 2030 Notes in connection with certain corporate events that constitute a “make-whole fundamental change” under the Indenture are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate for a certain period of time. Additionally, following the occurrence of a corporate event that constitutes a “fundamental change” under the Indenture, holders of the 2030 Notes may require us to repurchase for cash all or a portion of the 2030 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
Our acquisition of CyberArk constituted both a “make-whole fundamental change” and a “fundamental change” under the Indenture. In connection with the make-whole fundamental change, holders had the option to convert all or a portion of their 2030 Notes at an increased conversion rate equal to a combination of approximately 5.5690 shares of our common stock and $113.8860 in cash per $1,000 principal amount (the “make-whole conversion right”). We elected cash settlement as the settlement method for any 2030 Notes surrendered during the make-whole fundamental change period. Certain holders of the 2030 Notes surrendered $153 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes during the make-whole fundamental change period for conversion, which were settled for $160 million in cash on May 7, 2026. In connection with the fundamental change, holders had the right to tender all or a portion of their 2030 Notes for cash (the “repurchase right”) pursuant to our offer to purchase in accordance with the obligations under the 2030 Notes. No holders exercised the repurchase right to tender their 2030 Notes. The make-whole conversion right and repurchase right resulting from our acquisition of CyberArk expired on March 20, 2026.
As of July 31, 2026, after giving effect to the 2030 Notes surrendered for conversion during the make-whole conversion period, the remaining outstanding principal balance of the 2030 Notes was $1.1 billion. As of July 31, 2026, the 2030 Notes were classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheets since the sale price condition was not met during the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2026. The related fair value of $1.8 billion was determined based on the closing trading price per $100 of the 2030 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period. The fair value of the 2030 Notes is primarily affected by the trading price of our common stock and market interest rates.
For the year ended July 31, 2026, changes in fair value of 2030 Notes included in earnings were a loss of $620 million, and changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk included in AOCI were a loss of $11 million.
Capped Calls
In connection with our acquisition of CyberArk, on February 11, 2026, we entered into amendments to the Capped Calls that CyberArk purchased from certain financial institutions in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes. Under the amendments, we assumed the rights and obligations of CyberArk with respect to the Capped Calls and modified the Capped Calls to require the delivery of shares of our common stock in lieu of ordinary shares of CyberArk. The Capped Calls have a strike price of approximately $211.24 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the effective initial conversion price of our 2030 Notes. The Capped Calls have cap prices ranging from approximately $287.21 to $291.44 per share, subject to certain adjustments. In connection with exercising the Capped Calls, we may elect that the Capped Calls be settled either entirely in cash or a combination of our common stock and cash. The Capped Calls are separate transactions from the 2030 Notes, and holders of the 2030 Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Capped Calls.
The Capped Calls cover shares of our common stock underlying the 2030 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2030 Notes. In April 2026, we elected to terminate portions of the Capped Calls in exchange for $10 million in cash in connection with the $153 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes surrendered by certain holders during the make-whole conversion period.
As of July 31, 2026, the fair value of the outstanding Capped Calls was $153 million, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and observable inputs, including the price of our common stock, volatility, remaining contractual term, and risk-free interest rate. For the year ended July 31, 2026, the change in fair value of Capped Calls was a gain of $58 million.
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 13, 2023, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain institutional lenders that provides for a $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), with an option to increase the amount of the Credit Facility by up to an additional $350 million, subject to certain conditions. The Credit Facility matures on April 13, 2028.
The borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at a base rate plus a spread of 0.000% to 0.375%, or an adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a spread of 1.000% to 1.375%, in each case with such spread being determined based on our leverage ratio. We are obligated to pay an ongoing commitment fee on undrawn amounts at a rate of 0.090% to 0.150%, depending on our leverage ratio. The interest rates and commitment fees are also subject to upward and downward adjustments based on our progress towards the achievement of certain sustainability goals.
As of July 31, 2026, there were no amounts outstanding and no default or event of default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.
