Item. 8.01 Other Events.
0.0% Exchangeable Senior Notes Offering
On May 20, 2025, Uber Technologies,
Inc. (the “ Company ”) completed its previously announced private offering of $1.15 billion aggregate principal
amount of its 0.0% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2028 (the “ Notes ”) to
an investment bank acting as initial purchaser (the “ Initial Purchaser ”), including the exercise in full
by the Initial Purchaser of its option to purchase up to an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Notes
were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated May 20, 2025 (the “ Indenture ”), among the Company, the Company’s
indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Neben Holdings, LLC (the “ Guarantor ”), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National
Association (“ US Bank ”), as trustee (the “ Trustee ”). The
Notes were sold to the Initial Purchaser in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”). The Initial Purchaser subsequently resold the Notes to persons
reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the
Securities Act .
The net proceeds from the offering
were approximately $1,125.9 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering for general corporate purposes,
which may include strategic investments, although the Company has not designated any specific uses at this time.
The Notes will not bear regular
interest, and the principal amount of the Notes will not accrete. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2028, unless earlier exchanged, redeemed
or repurchased.
The Notes will be exchangeable
into cash, or, subject to the satisfaction of certain share delivery conditions, units of reference property, or a combination of cash
and units of reference property, at the Company’s election. Initially, each unit of reference property will be comprised of one
share of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Aurora Innovation, Inc. (“ Aurora ” and such shares,“ Aurora
common stock ”). The exchange rate will initially be 117.6471 units of reference property per $1,000 principal amount of
Notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $8.50 per share of Aurora common stock). The exchange rate will be subject
to adjustment in some events. In addition, following certain corporate events involving the Company or Aurora that occur prior to the
maturity date or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the exchange rate
for a holder who elects to exchange its notes in connection with such a corporate event or exchange its Notes called (or deemed called)
for redemption during the related redemption period, as the case may be.
The Notes will be the Company’s
senior obligations and will be secured by first-priority liens on certain pledged reference property held by the Guarantor (which initially
consists of the maximum number of shares of Aurora common stock deliverable upon exchange of the Notes) (the “ Collateral ”).
The Notes will be guaranteed by the Guarantor on a limited recourse basis to the extent of the Collateral. Concurrently with entering
into the Indenture, the Guarantor has entered into a Collateral Agreement with US Bank as collateral agent and Trustee and U.S. Bank National
Association as securities intermediary, pursuant to which, the Guarantor has granted a first-priority lien to the collateral agent on
the Collateral.
The Company may not redeem the
Notes prior to May 21, 2027. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after May 21, 2027
if the value of a unit of reference property has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading days
(whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and
including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the notice of redemption at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding,
the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. If the Company redeems less than all of the outstanding Notes, at least
$100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of, and after giving effect to,
delivery of the relevant redemption notice.
If (i) the Company undergoes
an “Uber fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), (ii) Aurora undergoes an “Aurora fundamental change”
(as defined in the Indenture) or (iii) a “share ownership event” (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Company’s
ownership of Aurora common stock occurs, then, in each case, subject to certain conditions and limited exceptions, holders may require
the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which 100% of the principal amount of, and accrued
and unpaid special interest, if any, on the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy
or insolvency events of default involving the Company or the Guarantor after which the accelerated exchange amount (as defined in the
Indenture) with respect to the Notes become automatically due and payable.
The Notes have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act
and other applicable securities laws.
The foregoing description of
the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Indenture. A copy
of the Indenture is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto (including the form of the Notes attached as Exhibit 4.2 hereto) and is incorporated
herein by reference (and this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document).
