NOTE 17 — SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

On October 28, 2025, we signed a new definitive agreement with OpenAI that extends our partnership and continues to build on our shared vision to advance artificial intelligence responsibly and make its benefits broadly accessible. Additionally, OpenAI has formed a public benefit corporation (“PBC”) and completed a recapitalization. As a result of the recapitalization, Microsoft holds approximately 27 percent in the PBC on an as-converted diluted basis. Under the new agreement, OpenAI has contracted to purchase an incremental $250 billion of Azure services, and Microsoft will no longer have a right of first refusal to be OpenAI's compute provider.

We will continue to account for our $13 billion of total funding commitments to OpenAI as an investment under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the impact of changes in our proportionate ownership will be recognized as a gain or loss in other income (expense), net. See Note 1 – Accounting Policies, Note 3 – Other Income (Expense), Net, and Note 4 – Investments for further details on our equity method investments and other income (expense), net.
