Revolving Credit Facility

Wayfair has a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), which matures on March 24, 2026, and provides for non-amortizing revolving loans in an aggregate amount of $600 million. Under the Revolver, Wayfair may, from time to time, request letters of credit, which reduce the availability of credit under the Revolver. Wayfair had $76 million in outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2023, primarily as security for lease agreements. As of September 30, 2023, there were no revolving loans outstanding under the Revolver.

Convertible Non-Accreting Notes

In May 2023, Wayfair issued $690 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), which includes the exercise in full of a $90 million option granted to the initial purchasers. In connection with the issuance of the 2028 Notes, Wayfair entered into capped calls that covered, initially, the number of shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock underlying the 2028 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2028 Notes (the “2028 Capped Calls”).

The following table summarizes certain terms related to the Company’s current outstanding non-accreting convertible notes (collectively, the “Non-Accreting Notes” and together with the 2025 Accreting Notes, the “Notes”):

Convertible Non-Accreting Notes	Maturity Date	Annual Coupon Rate	Annual Effective Interest Rate	Payment Dates for Semi-Annual Interest Payments in Arrears
2024 Notes	November 1, 2024	1.125%	1.5%	May 1 and November 1
2025 Notes	October 1, 2025	0.625%	0.9%	April 1 and October 1
2026 Notes	August 15, 2026	1.000%	1.2%	February 15 and August 15
2027 Notes	September 15, 2027	3.250%	3.6%	March 15 and September 15
2028 Notes	November 15, 2028	3.500%	3.8%	May 15 and November 15

Convertible Accreting Notes

No cash interest is payable on the 2025 Accreting Notes. Instead, the 2025 Accreting Notes accrue interest at a rate of 2.50% per annum, which accretes to the principal amount on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The 2025 Accreting Notes will mature on April 1, 2025, unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted. The annual effective interest rate of the 2025 Accreting Notes is 2.7%.

Seniority of the Notes

The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of Wayfair. The Notes rank senior in right of payment to any of Wayfair’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, rank equal in right of payment to Wayfair’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of Wayfair’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Non-Accreting Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of Wayfair’s subsidiaries, including Wayfair LLC’s guaranty of the 2025 Accreting Notes, and the 2025 Accreting Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of Wayfair’s subsidiaries (other than Wayfair LLC).

Indentures

The Notes are governed by separate indentures between Wayfair, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Non-Accreting Notes indenture also includes Wayfair LLC, as guarantor. Each indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the respective Notes then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount or accreted principal amount, as the case may be, of the respective Notes plus accrued interest, if any, to be immediately due and payable.

Conversion and Redemption Terms of the Notes

Wayfair's Notes will mature at their maturity date unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted. The Notes’ initial conversion terms are summarized below:

Convertible Notes	Maturity Date	Free Convertibility Date	Initial Conversion Rate per $1,000 Principal	Initial Conversion Price	Redemption Date
2024 Notes	November 1, 2024	August 1, 2024	8.5910	$116.40	May 8, 2022
2025 Notes	October 1, 2025	July 1, 2025	2.3972	$417.15	October 4, 2022
2026 Notes	August 15, 2026	May 15, 2026	6.7349	$148.48	August 20, 2023
2027 Notes	September 15, 2027	June 15, 2027	15.7597	$63.45	September 20, 2025
2028 Notes	November 15, 2028	August 15, 2028	21.8341	$45.80	May 20, 2026
2025 Accreting Notes	April 1, 2025	-	13.7931	$72.50	May 9, 2023

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including certain distributions and dividends to all or substantially all of the holders of Wayfair’s Class A common stock, but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest.

Wayfair will settle any conversions of the Non-Accreting Notes in cash, shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock or a combination thereof, with the form of consideration determined at Wayfair’s election. The holders of the Non-Accreting Notes may convert all or a portion of such Notes prior to certain specified dates (each, a “Free Convertibility Date”) under the following circumstances (in each case, as applicable to each series of Non-Accreting Notes):

•during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

•during the five-business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period") in which the trading price (as defined in the applicable indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

•if Wayfair calls the notes for redemption, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) (“the close of business”) on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; and

•upon the occurrence of specified corporate events (as set forth in the applicable indenture).

On or after the applicable Free Convertibility Date until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the applicable maturity date, holders of the Non-Accreting Notes may convert their Non-Accreting Notes at any time.

The conditional conversion features of the 2028 Notes were triggered during the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2023, and the 2028 Notes therefore became convertible in the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2023 pursuant to the applicable last reported sales price condition. Because the conditional conversion features of the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes were not triggered during the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2023, the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes are not convertible during the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2023 pursuant to the applicable last reported sales price conditions.

The holders of the 2025 Accreting Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2025 Accreting Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Wayfair will settle any conversion of 2025 Accreting Notes with a number of shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock per $1,000 original principal amount of 2025 Accreting Notes equal to the accreted principal amount of such original principal amount of 2025 Accreting Notes divided by the conversion price.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the applicable indenture), holders of the applicable series of Notes may require Wayfair to repurchase all or a portion of such Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount (or accreted principal amount) of such Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date (such interest to be included in the accreted principal amount for the 2025 Accreting Notes).

Holders of the Non-Accreting Notes who convert their respective Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change or a notice of redemption (each as defined in the applicable indenture) may be entitled to a premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate of the respective Notes. Holders of the 2025 Accreting Notes who convert in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the applicable indenture) may be entitled to a premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate.

Wayfair may not redeem the Notes prior to certain dates (the “Redemption Date”). On or after the applicable Redemption Date, Wayfair may redeem for cash all or part of the applicable series of Notes if the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds 130% (Non-Accreting Notes) or 276% (2025 Accreting Notes) of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including at least one of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which Wayfair provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Wayfair provides notice of the redemption. The redemption price will be either 100% of the principal amount (or accreted principal amount) of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or the if-converted value if the holder elects to convert their Notes upon receiving notice of redemption.

Accounting for the Notes

The Notes are recorded as a single unit within liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the conversion features within the Notes are not derivatives that require bifurcation and the Notes do not involve a substantial premium. Transaction costs to issue the Notes were recorded as direct deductions from the related debt liabilities and amortized to interest expense, net using the effective interest method over the terms of the corresponding Notes.

Proceeds from 2028 Notes Transactions and Partial Extinguishment of 2024 Notes and 2025 Notes

The net transaction amount from the issuance of the 2028 Notes, in the second quarter of 2023, was $591 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts, the offering expenses payable by Wayfair and the net proceeds used to purchase the 2028 Capped Calls.

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2023, Wayfair used $514 million of the net transaction amount to repurchase for cash $83 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes and $535 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes in privately negotiated repurchase transactions. In accounting for the repurchases of the 2024 Notes and 2025 Notes, Wayfair recorded a $100 million gain on debt extinguishment, representing the difference between the cash paid for principal of $514 million and the combined net carrying value of the 2024 Notes and 2025 Notes of $614 million. Wayfair intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Notes for working capital and general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, operating and capital expenditures. Wayfair may also use a portion of the net proceeds to finance acquisitions, strategic transactions, investments, repurchases of Class A common stock or the repayment, redemption, purchase or exchange of indebtedness (including the Notes).

Conversions of Notes

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no conversions of the Notes.

Interest Expense

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, Wayfair recognized contractual interest expense and debt discount amortization of $15 million and $3 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, contractual interest expense and debt discount amortization of $40 million and $6 million, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, Wayfair recognized contractual interest expense and debt discount amortization of $7 million and $2 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, contractual interest expense and debt discount amortization of $21 million and $6 million, respectively.

Fair Value of Notes

As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes and 2025 Accreting Notes was $115 million, $650 million, $771 million, $841 million, $1.0 billion and $31 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Non-Accreting Notes was determined through consideration of quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of the 2025 Accreting Notes was determined through an option pricing model using Level 3 inputs including volatility and credit spread. The fair values of the Non-Accreting Notes and the 2025 Accreting Notes are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively, as defined in Note 3, Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash, Investments and Fair Value Measurements. As of

September 30, 2023, the if-converted value of the 2028 Notes exceeded the principal value by $223 million. As of September 30, 2023, the if-converted value of the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2025 Accreting Notes did not exceed the principal value.

Capped Calls

The 2024 Capped Calls, 2025 Capped Calls, 2026 Capped Calls, 2027 Capped Calls and 2028 Capped Calls (collectively, the “Capped Calls”) are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset the cash payments Wayfair is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Non-Accreting Notes upon conversion of the Non-Accreting Notes if the market price per share of Wayfair’s Class A common stock is greater than the strike price of the applicable Capped Call (which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the applicable Non-Accreting Notes and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the applicable Capped Call), with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price of the applicable Capped Calls (the “Initial Cap Price”). The Capped Calls can, at Wayfair’s option, remain outstanding until their maturity date, even if all or a portion of the Non-Accreting Notes are converted, repurchased or redeemed prior to such date.

Each of the Capped Calls has an initial cap price per share of Wayfair’s Class A common stock, which represented a premium over the last reported sale price (or, with respect to the 2025 Capped Calls, the volume-weighted average price) of Wayfair’s Class A common stock on the date the corresponding Non-Accreting Notes were priced (the “Cap Price Premium”), and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the corresponding agreements. Collectively, the Capped Calls cover, initially, the number of shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock underlying the Non-Accreting Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Non-Accreting Notes.

The initial terms for the Capped Calls are presented below:

Capped Calls	Maturity Date	Initial Cap Price	Cap Price Premium
2024 Capped Calls	November 1, 2024	$219.63	150%
2025 Capped Calls	October 1, 2025	$787.08	150%
2026 Capped Calls	August 15, 2026	$280.15	150%
2027 Capped Calls	September 15, 2027	$97.62	100%
2028 Capped Calls	November 15, 2028	$73.28	100%

The Capped Calls are separate transactions from the Non-Accreting Notes, are not subject to the terms of the Non-Accreting Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the Non-Accreting Notes. Similarly, holders of the Non-Accreting Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Capped Calls. The Capped Calls do not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as they are indexed to Wayfair's stock and meet the requirements to be classified in equity. The premiums paid for the Capped Calls were included as a net reduction to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ deficit when they were entered.
