Microsoft Corporation has sold 10 series of notes in a public offering, according to a report the company filed Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Notes are a form of corporate debt. The company entered into the underwriting agreement for the sale on Oct. 29, 2026.
The report lists two series of floating-rate notes and eight series of fixed-rate notes. Floating-rate notes carry an interest rate that can change. Fixed-rate notes carry a set rate. The notes mature between Nov. 3, 2028, and Nov. 3, 2066.
The filing lists each series separately. It does not give a combined total for the offering, and it does not say how Microsoft will use the money.
The largest series are the 5.550% Notes due 2036 and the 6.250% Notes due 2056, at $4,000,000,000 each. The 5.000% Notes due 2029 and the 5.200% Notes due 2031 are $3,250,000,000 each. The smallest series are the two floating-rate series, at $1,000,000,000 each.
Interest on the floating-rate notes will be paid quarterly on Feb. 3, May 3, Aug. 3 and Nov. 3 each year, starting Feb. 3, 2027. Interest on the fixed-rate notes will be paid twice a year, on May 3 and Nov. 3, starting May 3, 2027. The filing says interest is paid in arrears, meaning after the interest period has passed.
Microsoft has the option to redeem the fixed-rate notes in certain circumstances described in a prospectus supplement, a document that gives the terms of the offering. The floating-rate notes cannot be redeemed at the company’s option. The filing does not describe the redemption circumstances.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Microsoft. That means they are not backed by specific company assets. The filing says they will rank equally with the company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated debt.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as representatives of the underwriters named in the agreement. The notes were issued under an indenture, or legal contract for the debt, dated May 18, 2009, with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. A supplemental indenture dated Nov. 4, 2026, covers these notes.
The company filed a prospectus dated Dec. 12, 2024, and a prospectus supplement dated Oct. 29, 2026, for the offering. Brian B. DeFoe, Microsoft’s Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, signed the report on behalf of the company.
