Meta Prices Major Offerings of Convertible Preferred and Common Stock to Raise Capital

Meta Platforms priced two concurrent offerings, including mandatory convertible preferred stock and an upsized Class A common stock sale tied to forward sale agreements. The company priced 250 million depositary shares at $50.00 each to raise roughly $12.5 billion in net proceeds. Concurrently, it upsized its Class A common stock offering to $25.0 billion from $22.5 billion, pricing 40 million shares at $625.00 per share with expected net proceeds of about $24.9 billion. The pricing follows reports that Meta was preparing an equity offering to fund AI infrastructure, which earlier pressured the stock down 6.98%.
