Note Structure

The issuance comprises several tranches: a $750,000,000 floating‑rate note; $3,500,000,000 of 4.600% notes due 2029; $4,250,000,000 of 4.800% notes due 2031; $3,000,000,000 of 5.100% notes due 2033; $4,500,000,000 of 5.300% notes due 2036; $2,750,000,000 of 6.000% notes due 2046; $4,000,000,000 of 6.100% notes; and $2,250,000,000 of 6.250% notes due 2066. Each series carries its own coupon rate and maturity schedule.

Underwriters and Execution

The managing underwriters were Barclays Capital, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Securities and Morgan Stanley, which executed the underwriting agreement in July. They coordinated the distribution of the notes to institutional investors.

Regulatory Filings

The securities were issued pursuant to a Form S‑3 registration statement (File No. 333‑293246). The issuance was governed by an indenture originally dated November 29 2012 and later supplemented, with Wells Fargo Bank serving as the prior trustee.

Market Implications

The diversified coupon range from 4.600% to 6.250% reflects Amazon’s strategy to balance cost of capital across short‑ and long‑term horizons. By securing $24.923 billion in proceeds, the company reinforces its liquidity position while extending debt maturities well into the mid‑2060s.
