Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) today announced that it proposes to offer $750 million principal amount of Senior Notes due 2027 (the “notes”), subject to market conditions and other factors. The notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
Uber intends to use the proceeds from this offering primarily to fund a portion of the purchase price in connection with the closing of Uber’s pending acquisition of Careem Inc.

Any offers of the notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
