Indenture and Notes
On December 12, 2024, Datadog, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced private offering (the “Offering”) of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), including the exercise in full of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase up to an additional $130 million principal amount of the Notes. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated December 12, 2024 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
The Notes will mature on December 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Notes will not bear regular interest and the principal amount of the notes will not accrete. Holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 1, 2029 only upon satisfaction of one or more of the following conditions: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; and (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as set forth in the Indenture. On or after September 1, 2029 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at any time, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying and/or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.
The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 4.5955 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $217.60 per share of Common Stock. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 35% over the last reported sale price of the Common Stock of $161.19 per share on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 9, 2024. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption during the related redemption period (as defined in the Indenture), as the case may be.
The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to December 6, 2027. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to the partial redemption limitation set forth in the Indenture), at its option, on or after December 6, 2027 if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the Notes 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 the Company 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 special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), then, subject to certain conditions and except as set forth in the Indenture, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The Indenture includes customary terms and covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) after which the Notes become automatically due and payable. The following events are considered “events of default” under the Indenture:

default in any payment of special interest on any Note when due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days; |
