Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendment No. 1 to Credit and Guaranty Agreement

On September 9, 2025, Dropbox, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “First Amendment”), to its existing Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2024 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, the issuing bank and the administrative agent and collateral agent (the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the First Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to provide for, among other things, additional secured delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal amount up to $700.0 million (the “2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans”). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.7 billion, consisting of $1.0 billion of existing term loans (the “Existing Term Loans”), which were borrowed on December 11, 2024, $1.0 billion of existing delayed draw term loans (the “Existing Delayed Draw Term Loans”) and $700.0 million of 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement still provides for a secured letter of credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $35.0 million. The proceeds of the 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans may be used to prepay, repay, repurchase, redeem, exchange or settle upon conversion, the Company’s outstanding convertible senior notes due 2026. As of September 9, 2025, there were $995 million of Existing Term Loans, no Existing Delayed Draw Term Loans, no 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans and no letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans may be borrowed, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, during the period from the closing date of the First Amendment through March 15, 2026.

The outstanding principal amount of any 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon are due and payable on September 9, 2030. Beginning on the last business day of the quarter occurring after the funding of the 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans, and continuing on the last business day of each quarter thereafter, the outstanding 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans must be repaid in equal quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of such 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans. In addition, the 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans are subject to the same mandatory prepayments as the Existing Term Loans and any Existing Delayed Draw Term Loans, including with certain excess cash flows, the proceeds of certain asset sales and the incurrence of indebtedness (other than indebtedness permitted under the Amended Credit Agreement). The Company is permitted to prepay the 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans at any time in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment premium equal to 2% of the aggregate principal amount prepaid on or prior to September 9, 2026, and 1% of the aggregate principal amount prepaid after September 9, 2026, but on or prior to September 9, 2027. 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

Consistent with the Existing Term Loans and any Existing Delayed Draw Term Loans, the 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (a) an alternate base rate, which is defined as a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate then in effect, (ii) the greater of the federal funds effective rate or overnight bank funding rate then in effect, plus 0.50% per annum, and (iii) a term SOFR rate determined on the basis of a one-month interest period plus 1.00% per annum, in each case, plus a margin of 2.75%, or (b) a term SOFR rate (based on one, three or six month interest periods), plus a margin of 3.75%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to borrowings bearing interest at the alternative base rate or on the last day of an interest period, but at least every three months, with respect to borrowing bearing interest at the term SOFR rate. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee that accrues at a rate of 1.00% per annum on the unused portion of the commitments for the 2025 Delayed Draw Term Loans.

Certain of the Lenders and/or their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in commercial banking, investment banking and other banking and/or financial services with the Company or its affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

Matthews South served as financial advisor to the Company.
