Summary

SpaceX closed a senior unsecured notes offering on June 26, 2026, one of the largest debt issuances in the private space sector. The offering spans five tranches with maturities from 2031 to 2056 and interest rates from 5.350% to 6.650%, with semi-annual payments beginning January 2027. The notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S.

The notes are unsecured and rank equally with all other unsubordinated debt, meaning noteholders have no collateral protection and would be general unsecured creditors in any restructuring. SpaceX retains the right to redeem the notes early at make-whole prices before specified par call dates or at par thereafter, providing refinancing flexibility.

The company committed to register the notes for exchange within 540 days to enhance secondary market liquidity. For equity holders, this capital raise significantly expands SpaceX's financial capacity without diluting ownership. The use of proceeds is not disclosed in this filing. The unsecured nature of the debt and the company's ability to layer on additional obligations means equity sits behind a growing debt stack in the capital structure.

Added Redemption provisions medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

The Notes of each series will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time and from time to time prior to the applicable Par Call Date (as set forth in the table below), at a redemption price calculated by the Company (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: 1.(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus the Applicable Spread for such Notes (as set forth below) less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of redemption, and 2.100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed

SpaceX retains the right to redeem the notes early at make-whole prices before specified par call dates (ranging from one to six months before maturity depending on the series), or at par thereafter. The make-whole calculation uses Treasury rates plus spreads of 20-30 basis points, protecting noteholders from early redemption at unfavorable rates while giving SpaceX refinancing flexibility.
