01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. Indenture and Notes On December 9, 2025, Fastly, Inc. (the " Company ") issued $160,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the " Notes "). The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the " Indenture "), dated as of December 9, 2025, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the " Trustee "). Pursuant to the purchase agreement between the Company and the representatives of the initial purchasers of the Notes, the Company granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Notes will be the Company's senior, unsecured obligations and will be (i) equal in right of payment with the Company's existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company's existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to any of the Company's future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company's subsidiaries. The Notes will not bear regular interest and the principal amount of the Notes will not accrete. The Notes will mature on December 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before September 16, 2030, noteholders will have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after September 16, 2030, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day imm
02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. The disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Notes were issued to the initial purchasers in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " Securities Act "), in transactions not involving any public offering. The Notes were resold by the initial purchasers to persons whom the initial purchasers reasonably believe are "qualified institutional buyers," as defined in, and in accordance with, Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Any shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Notes will be issued in reliance upon Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as involving an exchange by the Company exclusively with its security holders. Assuming the initial purchasers fully exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, initially, a maximum of 15,624,990 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock may be issued upon conversion of the Notes, based on the initial maximum conversion rate of 86.8055 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions.
01. Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events. Concurrent Repurchase of 2026 Notes On or about December 9, 2025, the Company used the remaining net proceeds from the offering of the Notes after the funding of the cost of entering into the Base Capped Call Transactions described in Item 1.01, together with cash on hand, to repurchase $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the " 2026 Notes ") for approximately $148.9 million, in privately negotiated transactions. The Company expects that some or all of the holders of the repurchased 2026 Notes may purchase shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in open market transactions to unwind hedge positions that they have with respect to their investment in the 2026 Notes. These open market purchases, in turn, may place upward pressure on the trading price of the Company's Class A Common Stock to trade at higher prices than would be the case in the absence of these purchases. Press Releases On December 3, 2025, the Company issued a press release relating to its proposed offering of the Notes. On December 4, 2025, the Company issued a press release relating to the pricing of the Notes. Copies of the press releases are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
