| STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock On February 5, 2026, we issued 100,000,000 depositary shares, representing 50,000 shares of our 6.50% Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock). The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock has a $100,000 per share liquidation preference and $0.01 per share par value. The proceeds from the issuance of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness, future investments or acquisitions and payment of cash dividends on or repurchases of our common stock. Dividends are cumulative at an annual rate of 6.50% on the liquidation preference of $100,000 per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and may be paid in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Dividends that are declared will be payable on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 to holders of record on the January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 immediately preceding the relevant dividend payment date. Unless earlier converted, each outstanding share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert on the mandatory conversion date, which is January 15, 2029, into between 499.8126 and 624.7657 shares of our common stock, depending on the applicable market value of our common stock upon conversion and subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The applicable market value of our common stock will be determined based on the average volume-weighted average price per share of the common stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately prior to January 15, 2029. If a fundamental change occurs on or prior to January 15, 2029, then holders of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to convert all or any portion of their shares into shares of our common stock. In that case, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will convert at the fundamental change conversion rate for a specified period of time and holders will receive a make-whole dividend amount to compensate them for any unpaid accumulated dividends and any remaining future scheduled dividend payments. Other than during a fundamental change conversion period, at any time prior to January 15, 2029, holders of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may elect to convert all or any portion of their shares at a conversion rate of 499.8126 shares of common stock per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will not be redeemable at our election before the mandatory conversion date. The holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, with limited exceptions. Common Stock On February 2, 2026, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with certain sales agents party thereto, pursuant to which we may sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $20 billion from time to time through an “at-the-market” offering program (the ATM Program). Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, we may sell shares of common stock through the sales agents listed in the agreement in amounts and at times to be determined by us. In addition, we may elect to sell, through the sales agents or through others (whether acting as agent or principal), shares of our common stock for forward settlement. We are not obligated to sell any of the shares of our common stock under the ATM Program. The proceeds from offerings under the ATM Program, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness, future investments or acquisitions and payment of cash dividends on or repurchases of our common stock. As of February 28, 2026, we have not sold any shares of our common stock under the ATM Program. Common Stock Repurchases Our Board of Directors (the Board) has approved a program for us to repurchase shares of our common stock. As of February 28, 2026, approximately $6.3 billion remained available for stock repurchases pursuant to our stock repurchase program. We repurchased 0.4 million shares for $93 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2026 and 2.9 million shares for $450 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2025 under the stock repurchase program. Our stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and the pace of any future repurchase activity will depend on factors such as our working capital needs, our cash requirements for capital expenditures, acquisitions and dividend payments, our debt repayment obligations or repurchases of our debt, our stock price and economic and market conditions. Our stock repurchases may be effected from time to time through open market purchases or pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. Our stock repurchase program may be accelerated, suspended, delayed or discontinued at any time. Dividends on Preferred and Common Stock In March 2026, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1,263.89 per share of our outstanding Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and $0.50 per share of our outstanding common stock. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock dividend is payable on April 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 1, 2026 and the common stock dividend is payable on April 24, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 9, 2026. Future declarations of dividends on Oracle stocks and the establishment of future record and payment dates for our common stock are subject to the final determination of the Board. Fiscal 2026 Stock‑Based Awards Activity and Compensation Expense During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, we issued 20 million restricted stock-based units (RSUs) and stock options for 14 million shares of common stock (consisting of 13 million service-based stock options (SOs) and 1 million performance-based stock options (PSOs)). The majority of these awards were part of our annual stock-based award process. All of these awards are subject to service-based vesting restrictions, with the PSOs additionally having performance-based vesting restrictions. These fiscal 2026 stock-based award issuances were partially offset by stock-based award forfeitures and cancellations of 17 million shares during the first nine months of fiscal 2026. The SOs were granted with an exercise price not less than the closing share price of our common stock on the grant date, generally become exercisable 25% annually over four years of service, and generally expire ten years from the date of grant. The PSOs were granted with an exercise price not less than the closing share price of our common stock on the grant date and expire ten years from the date of grant. We estimated the fair values of our SOs and PSOs using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair values of SOs. Option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, require the input of assumptions, including stock price volatility. Changes in the input assumptions can affect the fair value estimates and ultimately how much we recognize as stock-based compensation expense. The RSUs that were granted during the nine months ended February 28, 2026 generally vest 25% annually over four years of service and were valued using methodologies of a similar nature as those described in Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. Stock-based compensation expense is included in the following operating expense line items in our condensed consolidated statements of operations:
