Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Warrant
On February 23, 2026, in connection with a strategic arrangement between Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD”) and Meta Platforms, Inc. (“Meta") governing the purchase of AMD Instinct™ GPU products by Meta, AMD issued to Meta a performance-based warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 160 million shares of common stock of AMD (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
Under the arrangement, the parties entered into an amendment to that certain Master Purchase Agreement dated May 23, 2023 (the “Agreement”) and concurrent with the Warrant issuance, Meta agreed to a binding commitment under the Agreement to purchase (directly or through its affiliates, or indirectly through authorized third parties (“Authorized Purchasers”)) the initial one (1) gigawatt equivalent of certain AMD Instinct GPU products. The Warrant Shares vest in tranches based on milestones tied to purchases of certain AMD Instinct GPU products by Meta or its affiliates, or through Authorized Purchasers for the sole benefit of Meta or its affiliates, with the first tranche of Warrant Shares vesting upon shipment of the initial one (1) gigawatt equivalent of certain AMD Instinct GPU products, and full vesting for the 160 million Warrant Shares contingent upon Meta, its affiliates or Authorized Purchasers purchasing six (6) gigawatt equivalent of certain AMD Instinct GPU products. Vesting of Warrant Shares are further subject to achievement of specified AMD stock price thresholds that escalate to $600 per share for the final tranche. Additionally, each tranche of vested Warrant Shares is subject to the fulfillment of certain other technical and commercial conditions by Meta prior to exercise.
Subject to the terms and conditions therein, the Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part after the date of issuance until 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on February 23, 2031, at Meta’s election, by cash payment or cashless exercise. The Warrant may not be transferred other than to controlled affiliates without AMD’s consent. The Warrant Shares are freely tradeable, subject to securities laws and specified limitations. Meta has certain customary registration rights, including demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights, and through underwritten block trades, with respect to the Warrant Shares pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement entered into with AMD in connection with and concurrent with the issuance of the Warrant.
The Warrant was issued, and the Warrant Shares are expected to be issued, in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Warrant in Exhibit 4.1 attached hereto, and the Registration Rights Agreement in Exhibit 10.1 attached hereto, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
