    On May 8, 2025, Starbucks Corporation (“Starbucks” or the “Company”) completed a public offering pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), dated May 6, 2025, with BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, under which Starbucks agreed to issue and sell to the several underwriters (i) $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.500% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), (ii) $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.800% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and (iii) $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.400% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “2035 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes and the 2030 Notes, the “Notes”).

     

    The Notes were issued under the Indenture, dated as of September 15, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as supplemented by the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 8, 2025 (the “Eleventh Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee.

     

    Starbucks will pay interest on the 2028 Notes semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November 15, beginning on November 15, 2025. The 2028 Notes will bear interest at a rate equal to 4.500% per annum. The 2028 Notes will mature on May 15, 2028. At any time prior to April 15, 2028 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2028 Notes), Starbucks may redeem the 2028 Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) a “make-whole” price described in the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on and after April 15, 2028, Starbucks may redeem the 2028 Notes at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

     

    Starbucks will pay interest on the 2030 Notes semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November 15, beginning on November 15, 2025. The 2030 Notes will bear interest at a rate equal to 4.800% per annum. The 2030 Notes will mature on May 15, 2030. At any time prior to April 15, 2030 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2030 Notes), Starbucks may redeem the 2030 Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) a “make-whole” price described in the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on and after April 15, 2030, Starbucks may redeem the 2030 Notes at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

     

    Starbucks will pay interest on the 2035 Notes semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November 15, beginning on November 15, 2025. The 2035 Notes will bear interest at a rate equal to 5.400% per annum. The 2035 Notes will mature on May 15, 2035. At any time prior to February 15, 2035 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2035 Notes), Starbucks may redeem the 2035 Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2035 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) a “make-whole” price described in the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on and after February 15, 2035, Starbucks may redeem the 2035 Notes at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

     

    In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event relating to a particular series of the Notes (which involves the occurrence of both a change of control and a below investment grade rating of the applicable series of the Notes by Moody’s and S&P), Starbucks will be required, subject to certain exceptions, to make an offer to repurchase such series of Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such series of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase date.

     

    1

     

     

    The Notes will be the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other senior unsecured indebtedness, whether currently existing or incurred in the future. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness or other liabilities, including trade payables, of any of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Notes are subject to customary covenants and events of default, as set forth in the Indenture.  

     

    The foregoing disclosure is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Base Indenture and the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture.
