Robinhood Announces Private Offering of $2.0 Billion of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2029 Opportunistic capital raise with proceeds used to enhance strategic flexibility to invest for future growth Approximately $300 million of the proceeds to be used to repurchase shares, although the amount of Class A common stock that Robinhood actually repurchases may be more or less than $300 million Additionally, a portion of the proceeds to be used to purchase capped calls intended to offset any share dilution until at least a targeted 125% premium to the last reported sale price of Robinhood’s Class A common stock on the date of pricing MENLO PARK, Calif., June 22, 2026—Robinhood Markets, Inc. (“Robinhood”) (NASDAQ: HOOD) today announced that, subject to market conditions, it intends to offer $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in a private placement (the “Offering”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Robinhood also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a 13-day period from, and including the date on which the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $200 million aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Robinhood. Robinhood will settle conversions by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of Robinhood’s Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Robinhood’s Class A common stock, at Robinhood’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of Robinhood’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted, based on the then applicable conversion rate. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Robinhood may not redeem the Notes prior to July 1, 2028, except in the event of a cleanup redemption (as defined below). Robinhood may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to certain limitations), at its option, on or after July 1, 2028 and prior to the 21st scheduled trading day immediately preceding October 1, 2029, if the last reported sale price of Robinhood’s Class A common stock has been at least 120% of the conversion 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 Robinhood provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, the Notes will be redeemable at any time if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that remains outstanding is less than $100 million and certain other conditions are satisfied (a “cleanup redemption”). The interest rate, the initial conversion rate and certain other terms of the Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the Offering. Robinhood intends to use (i) approximately $300 million of the net proceeds from the Offering to repurchase its Class A common stock, although the amount of its Class A common stock that Robinhood actually repurchases may be more or less than $300 million, (ii) a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the costs of the capped call transactions described below and (iii) the remainder of the net proceeds from the Offering, if any, for general corporate purposes, which may include organic growth investments, potential acquisitions and/or capital expenditures. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, Robinhood expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes to enter into additional capped call transactions. In addition, following the Offering, Robinhood plans to continue to repurchase additional shares of its Class A common stock pursuant to Robinhood’s stock repurchase program. The repurchases of Robinhood’s Class A common stock described above could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Robinhood’s Class A common stock or the Notes. In the case of repurchases effected concurrently with the Offering,
this activity could affect the market price of Robinhood’s Class A common stock prior to, concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes, and could result in a higher effective conversion price for the Notes. In connection with the pricing of the Notes, Robinhood expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the Notes or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of Robinhood’s Class A common stock initially underlying the Notes sold in the Offering. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to Robinhood’s Class A common stock upon conversion of any Notes and/or offset any cash payments Robinhood is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. Robinhood has been advised that, as is customary for convertible note offerings that include capped call transactions, in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to purchase shares of Robinhood’s Class A common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Robinhood’s Class A common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Robinhood’s Class A common stock or the Notes at that time. In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Robinhood’s Class A common stock and/or purchasing or selling Robinhood’s Class A common stock or other securities of Robinhood in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so (x) during any observation period related to a conversion of Notes or following any repurchase of Notes in connection with any “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture for the Notes) and (y) following any other repurchase of Notes if Robinhood elects to unwind a portion of the capped call transactions in connection with such repurchase). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of Robinhood’s Class A common stock or the Notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of Notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the Notes. Neither the Notes nor the shares of Robinhood’s Class A common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, have been, or will be, registered under the Securities Act, the securities laws of any other jurisdiction 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 the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws. The Notes will be offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. This news release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. No assurance can be made that the Offering will be consummated on its proposed terms or at all.
