- All notes are general unsecured senior obligations: no collateral backing, subordinate to any secured debt Airbnb may incur
- Change of control triggers mandatory repurchase at 101% of principal: protects bondholders but signals meaningful leverage constraint on M&A
- Cross-default threshold set at $250M: any default on other debt exceeding that amount could trigger event of default on these notes
- Early redemption permitted at make-whole (Treasury Rate + 10-20 bps spread) before par call dates, then at par: limited near-term call risk for investors

- $2.0B in 0% convertible senior notes repaid at maturity on March 16, 2026 using proceeds from a concurrent debt offering
- Repayment eliminates near-term dilution risk: 0% convertible notes often carried share conversion overhang
- Refinancing signals Airbnb accessing capital markets to manage maturity wall, shifting from zero-coupon to presumably interest-bearing debt
