Confluent also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the Notes are first issued, up to an additional$100.0 millionaggregate principal amount of Notes.<blockquote>汇合公司（纳斯达克：CFLT）data in motion平台今天宣布，根据市场状况和其他因素，打算以私募方式发行本金总额为10亿美元的2027年到期的可转换优先票据（“票据”）（“发行”）根据1933年证券法（经修订）（“证券法”）第144A条，向有理由相信是合格机构买家的人员。Confluent还打算授予票据的初始购买者选择权，可在票据首次发行之日起13天内额外购买最多1亿美元的票据本金总额。</blockquote> The Notes will be general unsecured obligations of Confluent and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears. The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of Confluent’s Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Confluent’s Class A common stock, at Confluent’s election. The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the Offering.<blockquote>该票据将是Confluence的一般无担保债务，并将每半年计息一次。根据Confluent的选择，这些票据将可转换为现金、Confluent A类普通股或现金和Confluent A类普通股的组合。票据的利率、初始兑换率和其他条款将在发行定价时确定。</blockquote> Confluent expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below. Confluent expects to use the remaining net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Confluent may also use a portion of the net proceeds for acquisitions of, or strategic investments in, complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, Confluent expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the Option Counterparties (as defined below) and the remaining net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes and for acquisitions of, or strategic investments in, complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies. However, Confluent does not have any agreements or commitments to enter into any material acquisitions or investments at this time.<blockquote>Confluence预计将使用此次发行的部分净收益来支付下述上限看涨期权交易的成本。Confluence预计将剩余的净收益用于营运资金和其他一般公司用途。Confluent还可以将部分净收益用于收购或战略投资互补业务、产品、服务或技术。如果初始购买者行使购买额外票据的选择权，Confluence预计将使用出售额外票据的部分净收益与期权交易对手（定义如下）签订额外的上限看涨期权交易，剩余净收益用于营运资金和其他一般公司目的，以及收购或战略投资补充业务、产品、服务或技术。然而，Confluence目前没有任何协议或承诺进行任何重大收购或投资。</blockquote> In connection with the pricing of the Notes, Confluent expects to enter into capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or affiliates thereof and/or other financial institutions (the “Option Counterparties”). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of Confluent’s Class A common stock initially underlying the Notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to Confluent’s Class A common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments Confluent is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.<blockquote>就票据定价而言，Confluence预计将与一名或多名初始购买者或其关联公司和/或其他金融机构（“期权交易对手”）签订有上限的看涨期权交易。受限制的看涨期权交易将涵盖Confluent最初作为票据基础的A类普通股的股份数量（根据惯例进行调整）。预计有上限的看涨期权交易通常会减少任何票据转换时对Confluence A类普通股的潜在稀释和/或抵消Confluence需要支付的超过已转换票据本金额的任何现金支付（视情况而定），此类减少和/或抵消受上限限制。</blockquote> In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, Confluent expects the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates will enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Confluent’s Class A common stock and/or purchase shares of Confluent’s Class A common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes, including with, or from, as the case may be, certain investors in the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Confluent’s Class A common stock or the trading price of the Notes at that time.<blockquote>在建立上限看涨期权交易的初始对冲时，Confluence预计期权交易对手或其各自的关联公司将就Confluence的A类普通股进行各种衍生交易和/或在票据定价的同时或之后不久购买Confluence的A类普通股股票，包括与票据中的某些投资者或从票据中的某些投资者（视情况而定）。此活动可能会增加（或减少）Confluent A类普通股的市场价格或当时票据的交易价格。</blockquote> In addition, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Confluent’s Class A common stock and/or purchasing or selling Confluent’s Class A common stock or other securities of Confluent in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so during the 40 trading day period beginning on the 41st scheduled trading day prior to maturity of the Notes, or, to the extent Confluent exercises the relevant election under the capped call transactions, following any repurchase, redemption or conversion of the Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of Confluent’s Class A common stock or the Notes which could affect a noteholder’s ability to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of Notes, this could affect the number of shares, if any, and value of the consideration that a noteholder will receive upon conversion of its Notes.<blockquote>此外，期权交易对手或其各自的关联公司可以在票据定价后和票据到期前，通过签订或平仓与Confluence A类普通股相关的各种衍生品和/或在二级市场交易中购买或出售Confluence A类普通股或Confluence的其他证券来修改其对冲头寸（并且可能在票据到期前第41个预定交易日开始的40个交易日期间这样做，或者在任何回购、赎回或转换票据后，Confluence根据上限看涨期权交易行使相关选择的范围内）。该活动还可能导致或避免Confluent A类普通股或票据的市场价格上涨或下跌，这可能会影响票据持有人转换票据的能力，并且如果该活动发生在与票据转换相关的任何观察期内，这可能会影响股份数量（如果有）以及票据持有人在转换其票据时将收到的对价价值。</blockquote> The Notes and any shares of Confluent’s Class A common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, any state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold inthe United Statesabsent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.<blockquote>票据和票据转换后可能发行的Confluence A类普通股的任何股份尚未也不会根据《证券法》、任何州证券法或任何其他司法管辖区的证券法进行登记，除非进行了登记，否则不得在未经登记或适用豁免或不受《证券法》和其他适用证券法注册要求约束的交易中在美国发行或出售。</blockquote> This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.<blockquote>本新闻稿既不是出售任何这些证券的要约，也不是购买任何这些证券的要约邀请，也不是在任何州或司法管辖区出售这些证券，在这些州或司法管辖区，此类要约、招揽或出售在注册或根据任何此类州或司法管辖区的证券法获得资格之前是非法的。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
