Datadog issued $747.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes on June 2, 2020. The company states that while the fair value of these notes is subject to interest rate and market risk due to the conversion feature, these changes do not impact its financial position or results of operations as the debt is carried at face value less unamortized discount and issuance costs for disclosure purposes.
