Oracle files to sell $10 billion in stock and $10 billion in bonds
Techmeme, citing Kelly Cloonan of The Wall Street Journal, said Oracle filed Monday to sell $10 billion of common stock and $10 billion of bonds as it finances data-center and chip spending, with shares down more than 5%.
Oracle is selling $10 billion of common stock and $10 billion of bonds, according to filings described Monday by The Wall Street Journal, Techmeme reported1.
The Journal said Oracle is moving quickly to line up financing for its data-center buildout and purchases of chips1. Techmeme listed the dual offering as the core of the filing news and said Oracle shares, ticker ORCL, fell more than 5%1.
The Journal's Kelly Cloonan reported the stock and bond sales from the filings1. Techmeme's item did not reprint Oracle's full use-of-proceeds language or the terms of either offering1.
What remains unknown from the Techmeme roundup is the pricing, share count, coupon and maturity of the notes, and whether the sales close together1. The roundup also did not independently confirm later-session trading beyond the more-than-5% drop it listed1.
