Summary
Datadog, Inc. (DDOG) announced the completion of its $1 billion offering of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029. This offering, which included the full exercise of the underwriters' option, was secured by an Indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association. The notes mature on December 1, 2029, and are convertible into Datadog's Class A common stock under specific conditions, or at the holder's option after September 1, 2029.
