The 2031 notes mature on March 15, 2031, and the 2033 notes mature on March 15, 2033, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted. The notes include an accretion schedule so that the amount payable at maturity reaches 120% of the original principal amount for each series.

Nebius may not redeem: •the 2031 notes before March 20, 2029 •the 2033 notes before March 20, 2030 except in certain tax-related cases. After those dates, the notes can be redeemed for cash only under certain conditions, including if the Class A share price exceeds 130% of the relevant conversion threshold for a specified period. If certain corporate events amounting to a fundamental change occur, holders may require Nebius to repurchase the notes for cash. The interest rate, initial conversion rate, and other final terms will be determined when the offering is priced. The securities are not registered under the Securities Act and may only be offered or sold pursuant to an exemption.
