Meta 计划发售至多 950 亿美元股票为其 AI 基础设施建设融资
原标题:Meta plans up to $95 billion in stock sales to fund its AI buildout
据 The Information 报道,Meta 计划通过发售股票筹集至多 950 亿美元用于 AI 基础设施建设。其中约 225 亿美元来自 A 类普通股,125 亿美元来自存托股份(每份代表二十分之一新优先股,2029 年 8 月前未转换将自动转为普通股),其余 600 亿美元来自 C 类新股上市后的持续市场出售,预计不早于 2027 年第一季度。C 类股无投票权,使 Meta 能在不稀释扎克伯格控制权的情况下融资;据公告,Nvidia、AMD 和博通已表示有意非约束性认购至多 50 亿美元 Meta 股票。

Meta plans to sell new stock to raise money for its AI infrastructure buildout. According to The Information, the company plans to sell up to $95 billion in shares.
About $22.5 billion will come from selling Class A common stock, according to a Meta announcement. Another $12.5 billion will come from depositary shares, each representing one-twentieth of a new preferred share. Unless they're converted earlier, these preferred shares will automatically convert into common stock in August 2029. The remaining $60 billion will come from ongoing sales on the open market once new Class C shares start trading, likely no earlier than the first quarter of 2027.
Right now, Meta has Class A shares with one vote each and Class B shares with ten votes each. Entities controlled by CEO Mark Zuckerberg hold most of the Class B shares. The Class C shares, which Meta announced last week, carry no voting rights. That lets Meta raise money without diluting Zuckerberg's control. According to the announcement, Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom have expressed non-binding interest in buying up to $5 billion in Meta stock.
