    Item 1.01

    Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

    On January 14, 2025, Adobe Inc. (“Adobe”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., SG Americas Securities, LLC, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters. The Underwriting Agreement provides for the issuance and sale by Adobe of (i) $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), (ii) $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.950% Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and (iii) $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.300% Notes due 2035 (the “2035 Notes,” and, collectively with the 2028 Notes and the 2030 Notes, the “Notes”). The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by Adobe, and customary closing conditions, indemnification rights and termination provisions.

    The above description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

    On January 17, 2025, Adobe completed the offering of the Notes. The Notes were issued and sold in a public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), which became automatically effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2025 (File No. 333-284258), and a related final prospectus supplement dated January 14, 2025. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of January 17, 2025 (the “Indenture”), between Adobe and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, together with the officer’s certificate, dated January 17, 2025 (the “Officer’s Certificate”), pursuant to the Indenture establishing the terms of each series of Notes.

    The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were approximately $1.99 billion after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. Adobe intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of debt, stock repurchases, capital expenditures and acquisitions.

    Interest on the Notes will accrue from January 17, 2025, their date of issuance, at a rate of 4.750% per year for the 2028 Notes, 4.950% per year for the 2030 Notes and 5.300% per year for the 2035 Notes. Interest on the Notes will be payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on January 17 and July 17 of each year, beginning on July 17, 2025.

    The 2028 Notes will mature on January 17, 2028, the 2030 Notes will mature on January 17, 2030, and the 2035 Notes will mature on January 17, 2035.

    Prior to (i) with respect to the 2028 Notes, December 17, 2027 (one month prior to the maturity date of such notes) (the “2028 Par Call Date”), (ii) with respect to the 2030 Notes, December 17, 2029 (one month prior to the maturity date of such notes) (the “2030 Par Call Date”) and (iii) with respect to the 2035 Notes, October 17, 2034 (three months prior to the maturity date of such notes) (the “2035 Par Call Date” and, collectively with the 2028 Par Call Date and the 2030 Par Call Date, each a “Par Call Date”), such series of notes may be redeemed at Adobe’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of the following amounts: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes of such series to be redeemed and (2) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes of such series being redeemed discounted to the redemption date (assuming, in the case of the 2028 Notes, the 2030 Notes and the 2035 Notes, that such notes matured on December 17, 2027, December 17, 2029 and October 17, 2034, respectively) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Officer’s Certificate), plus 5 basis points in the case of the 2028 Notes, plus 10 basis points in the case of the 2030 Notes and plus 10 basis points in the case of the 2035 Notes, less (b) interest accrued to, but not including, the date of redemption, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the notes being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date.

    In addition, on or after the applicable Par Call Date, such series of notes may be redeemed at Adobe’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption.


    The above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate, including the forms of the Notes, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1 through 4.5 and are incorporated herein by reference.
