6.375% Senior Notes
On June 2, 2026, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% Senior Notes. The 6.375% Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2034 and bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2026. The 6.375% Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.
We may redeem the 6.375% Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 15, 2029 at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest. If redeemed on or after June 15, 2029, the redemption prices, as a percentage of the principal of the 6.375% Senior Notes to be redeemed are as follows: (i) on or after June 15, 2029, 103.188%; (ii) on or after June 15, 2030, 101.594%; and (iii) on or after June 15, 2031, 100.000%. At any time prior to June 15, 2029, we may also redeem up to 40% of the 6.375% Senior Notes using the net proceeds of certain equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 106.375% of the principal amount of the 6.375% Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest; provided, that at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% Senior Notes issued under the indenture governing the 6.375% Senior Notes must remain outstanding after each such redemption. At any time prior to June 15, 2029, we may redeem some or all of the 6.375% Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and a “make-whole” premium. Upon a change of control, we may be required to offer to purchase the 6.375% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. Additionally, upon the sale of certain assets, we may be required to offer to purchase the 6.375% Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The indenture governing the 6.375% Senior Notes contains customary terms and covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the making of restricted payments, the creation of liens, the transfer or sale of assets, the creation of restrictions on the payment of dividends to us by the guarantors, mergers or consolidations and affiliate transactions and provides that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the trustee or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% Senior Notes then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of the 6.375% Senior Notes, and the interest accrued on such 6.375% Senior Notes, to be immediately due and payable.
Debt Issuance Costs
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we capitalized $9.9 million in third party offering costs related to the issuance of the 6.375% Senior Notes. These debt issuance costs will be amortized over the term of the 6.375% Senior Notes.
3.25% Convertible Notes
On June 11, 2024, we issued $373.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.25% Convertible Notes. The 3.25% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 3.25% Convertible Notes mature on June 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2029, the 3.25% Convertible Notes
will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods. Thereafter, the 3.25% Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding their maturity date.
The 3.25% Convertible Notes have an initial conversion rate of 12.8398 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $77.88 per share of our common stock, subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Upon conversion, we will settle the principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes in cash, and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.
As of September 30, 2026, one of the conditions permitting the holders of the 3.25% Convertible Notes to convert continued to be met. Our common stock traded above 130% of the $77.88 conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on September 30, 2026 (the last trading day of the calendar quarter). The holders of the 3.25% Convertible Notes have the right to convert through December 31, 2026, at which point we will re-evaluate whether the 3.25% Convertible Notes will continue to be convertible in the subsequent calendar quarter. In the event the holders of the 3.25% Convertible Notes elect to convert a portion or all of their 3.25% Convertible Notes, the principal amount is required to be settled in cash. As a result, the $373.8 million principal amount remains classified as a current liability as of September 30, 2026 in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any conversion premium will be satisfied with cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election.
Upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Notes, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 3.25% Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. If certain corporate events that constitute a “make-whole fundamental change” as set forth in the indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Notes occur prior to the maturity date of the 3.25% Convertible Notes or if we deliver a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 3.25% Convertible Notes in connection with such event or notice of redemption.
We will not be able to redeem the 3.25% Convertible Notes prior to June 21, 2027. On or after June 21, 2027, we will be able to redeem for cash all or any portion of the 3.25% Convertible Notes, at our option, if the last reported sale price of Granite’s common stock is equal to or greater than 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Notes contains customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to us or our significant subsidiaries, all outstanding 3.25% Convertible Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes then outstanding may declare the 3.25% Convertible Notes due and payable immediately.
2024 Capped Call Transactions
In June 2024, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions in connection with the offering of the 3.25% Convertible Notes (the “2024 capped call transactions”). The 2024 capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the 3.25% Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 3.25% Convertible Notes, as the case may be. However, when the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2024 capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of $119.82 of the 2024 capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the 2024 capped call transactions.
3.75% Convertible Notes
On May 11, 2023, we issued $373.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% Convertible Notes. During 2026, we undertook a series of transactions designed to simplify our capital structure and settle the 3.75% Convertible Notes. These transactions included (i) privately negotiated exchanges of a portion of the notes, (ii) the issuance of a redemption notice for the remaining notes, (iii) the settlement of conversions and redemption of all remaining notes, and (iv) the unwind and termination of the related capped call transactions. As a result, no 3.75% Convertible Notes or related capped call transactions remained outstanding as of September 30, 2026. Certain aspects of these transactions resulted in significant
non-operating accounting impacts during 2026, including the recognition and subsequent remeasurement of an embedded conversion option derivative liability and accelerated amortization of debt discount. These impacts are described below.
2023 Capped Call Transactions
In May 2023, we entered into capped call transactions (the “2023 capped call transactions”) in connection with the offering of the 3.75% Convertible Notes. The 2023 capped call transactions were designed generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we were required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 3.75% Convertible Notes, as the case may be. In connection with the series of transactions we undertook in 2026 related to our 3.75% Convertible Notes, as detailed further below, we unwound and terminated the 2023 capped call transactions.
Exchange Agreements
On February 18, 2026, we entered into separate and privately negotiated agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with a limited number of holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes pursuant to which we agreed to exchange $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes for cash (each such transaction, a “Note Exchange Transaction”). The Note Exchange Transactions were accounted for as induced conversions under ASU 2024-04. Upon settlement on March 11, 2026, we paid total cash consideration of $289.7 million, including $1.2 million of accrued interest. We recognized $2.9 million of inducement expense and $6.8 million of related charges, which were included in (Gain) loss on convertible debt transactions, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. No shares of common stock were issued in connection with these transactions.
In connection with the Note Exchange Transactions, on February 18, 2026, we entered into agreements with certain financial institutions (the “Capped Call Counterparties”) to unwind a portion of the existing capped call transactions associated with the exchanged notes. The transactions settled on March 10, 2026 and resulted in cash proceeds of $56.7 million. The capped call transactions were classified as equity at inception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Accordingly, the proceeds from the partial unwind were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
Redemption of the 3.75% Convertible Notes
On May 19, 2026, we issued a notice to redeem the remaining $273.7 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% Convertible Notes. Holders had the right to convert their notes through August 6, 2026 prior to settling the conversions on August 12, 2026. In connection with the redemption notice, the conversion rate was increased pursuant to the terms of the indenture to 21.8116 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount. We elected to satisfy conversion obligations by paying cash up to $2,617.40 per $1,000 principal amount of notes and settling any excess conversion value in shares of common stock.
As a result of this irrevocable election, the embedded conversion feature no longer qualified for the own-equity scope exception under ASC 815 and was required to be accounted for separately as a derivative liability. On May 19, 2026, we recognized the derivative liability at its fair value of $527.9 million. The initial recognition of the derivative resulted in a debt discount of $273.7 million and a $254.2 million loss. We also recognized a $2.9 million charge for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. These items resulted in a $257.1 million loss recognized in (Gain) loss on convertible debt transactions, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Fair value as of September 30, 2026$— 
Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability were recognized in (Gain) loss on convertible debt transactions, net. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized derivative remeasurement gains of $108.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized a total loss of $251.7 million related to the initial recognition and subsequent remeasurement of the embedded conversion option derivative.
The debt discount recognized upon bifurcation of the embedded conversion option was amortized through the settlement date, resulting in interest expense of $270.2 million and $273.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively.
On August 11, 2026, in connection with the settlement of the remaining 3.75% Convertible Notes, we unwound and terminated the remaining 2023 capped call transactions and received cash proceeds of $147.6 million. Consistent with the equity classification of the 2023 capped call transactions under ASC 815, the proceeds were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
On August 12, 2026, we issued 662,383 shares of common stock and paid $714.9 million in cash, including cash paid in lieu of fractional shares, to settle the conversion obligations.
Credit Agreement
On August 5, 2025, we entered into the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement consists of (1) a $600.0 million revolver (the “Revolver”), (2) a $600.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) and (3) an additional $75.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”). We borrowed $75.0 million under the Delayed Draw Term Loan on October 2, 2025 and repaid the amount outstanding thereunder on October 31, 2025. The Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature that allows us to increase borrowings under the Revolver, request a new tranche of term loans, or issue one or more series of notes or loans or any bridge financing pursuant to financing documentation other than the Credit Agreement, or a combination thereof, in an amount not to exceed (1) the greater of (a) $535.0 million and (b) the amount equal to 100% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement), calculated on a pro forma basis, plus (2) unlimited additional amounts so long as on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of additional indebtedness and after giving effect to all other appropriate pro forma adjustments, the ratio of consolidated funded secured indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) does not exceed 1.25 to 1.0, in each case, subject to lender approval. The Credit Agreement includes a $150.0 million sublimit for letters of credit ($75.0 million for financial letters of credit) and a $20.0 million sublimit for swingline loans.
As of September 30, 2026, the total unused availability under the Revolver was $588.8 million, resulting from $11.2 million in issued and outstanding letters of credit and no amount drawn under the Revolver. The letters of credit had expiration dates between February 2027 and October 2027.
We may borrow under the Credit Agreement, at our option, at either (a) term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.0%, or (b) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.0%. The applicable margin will be based on our consolidated leverage ratio set forth on the most recent compliance certificate delivered quarterly. In addition, we have agreed to pay an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.175% to 0.350%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio set forth on the most recent compliance certificate delivered quarterly. The Initial Term Loan and Revolver will mature on August 5, 2030. The Initial Term Loan will amortize at 2.5% per year payable in quarterly installments beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2026 through September 30, 2027 and increasing to 5.0% per year payable in quarterly installments until the maturity date.
Covenants and Events of Default
Our Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various affirmative, restrictive and financial covenants, including the financial covenants described below. Our failure to comply with these covenants following any relevant cure periods would constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The indentures governing our 3.25% Convertible Notes and our 6.375% Senior Notes also require us to comply with various covenants. Our failure to comply with these covenants following any relevant cure periods would constitute an event of default under the indentures governing our 3.25% Convertible Notes and our 6.375% Senior Notes. Additionally, our failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due or within the relevant grace period on our 6.375% Senior Notes, our 3.25% Convertible Notes or our Credit Agreement would constitute an event of default under the 6.375% Senior Notes indenture, the 3.25% Convertible Notes indenture or the Credit Agreement. A default under our Credit Agreement could result in (i) us no longer being entitled to borrow under such facility; (ii) the termination of such facility; (iii) the requirement that any letters of credit under such facility be cash collateralized; (iv) the acceleration of amounts owed under the Credit Agreement; and/or (v) the foreclosure on any collateral securing the obligations under such facility. A default under the 6.375% Senior Notes indenture or the 3.25% Convertible Notes indenture could result in acceleration of the maturity of the notes.
The financial covenants under the terms of our Credit Agreement require the maintenance of a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio. As of September 30, 2026, we were in compliance
with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and in the indentures governing our notes. We are not aware of any non-compliance by any of our unconsolidated real estate ventures with the covenants contained in their debt agreements.
