What was the 'put right' and why is its termination important?

The 'put right' was an obligation for CoreWeave to repurchase approximately $1.2 billion of its legacy Series C convertible preferred stock on a specific date in 2027. Its termination is crucial as it removes a significant potential cash outflow and liability from the company's balance sheet, thereby strengthening its equity position and financial flexibility.

What caused the 'put right' to terminate?

The put right terminated automatically due to a 'Termination Event' that occurred on September 25, 2025. This event was triggered when CoreWeave's Class A common stock met a specific trading condition: a 20-day volume-weighted average price of at least $68.16, provided that Coatue Management, L.L.C. was not under a contractual lock-up agreement during that period.

How does this termination affect CoreWeave's financial statements?

The termination of the put right has a direct positive impact on CoreWeave's financial statements. The Series C convertible preferred stock, previously classified as mezzanine equity (liabilities outside of permanent equity due to the redemption option), has now been reclassified as Class A common stock within stockholders' equity. This reclassification increases total stockholders' equity by $1.2 billion.

Does this termination mean Series C preferred stockholders will not receive cash?

Yes, the termination of the put right means that holders of the legacy Series C convertible preferred stock will no longer have the right to force CoreWeave to repurchase their shares for cash on the specified date. Their shares will remain outstanding as per their original terms, now without this specific redemption provision.
