Where the reports disagree
1Timing and status of the offering
The offering, which priced on March 18 and closed two days later, came in well above the initial $3.75 billion target after the company exercised an overallotment option.

What would settle it: Nebius’s SEC filing or company press release confirming the pricing/closing date of the notes.
2Whether completion is confirmed or still pending
Nebius Group just pulled off one of the largest convertible bond deals in the AI infrastructure space, raising roughly $4.3 billion in gross proceeds to bankroll an aggressive expansion of its data center empire.
The completion of the offering remains subject to market conditions, the company said.
What would settle it: Company statement or SEC filing confirming whether the offering has closed.
3Total amount raised

4Note maturity dates
The private offering, conducted under Rule 144A, was structured as convertible senior notes split across two tranches. The 2031 notes carry a coupon of 1.250%, while the 2033 notes come with a 2.625% rate.
The Amsterdam-headquartered company plans to issue notes worth $2.75 billion maturing in 2030, and notes worth $1.75 billion maturing in 2034.
What would settle it: Bond indenture or SEC filing listing the notes’ maturity dates.
What to make of it
Treat only the broad purpose of the raise (data centers, AI cloud platform, GPUs) as established; do not rely on either the amount, the maturity years, or the closed-versus-pending status until Nebius’s own SEC filing or press release is checked.
