Executive Summary

Alphabet is conducting a massive multi-billion dollar capital raise through a preliminary 424B5 filing, offering 150M Series B mandatory convertible preferred depositary shares (up to 172.5M with over-allotment), alongside concurrent offerings of Series A preferred, $15B of common stock, a $10B private placement with Berkshire Hathaway, and a $40B ATM program. Proceeds are earmarked for AI infrastructure capex (2026E $180-190B). The total potential raise exceeds $70B, creating significant near-term dilution for common shareholders.

• Proceeds used for AI infrastructure capex including $180-190B in 2026. Capped call transactions to reduce conversion dilution.
