- : SEC 8-K (1.01): On November 5, 2026, Axon Enterprise, Inc. entered into a material definitive agreement with Skydio, Inc. for an incremental minority investment of approximately $1.2 billion, aiming to increase Axon's ownership from 15% to about 37% on a fully diluted basis. The agreement includes a Primary Purchase of 25 million shares of Skydio’s non-voting Series G Preferred Stock at a price of $10.19617 per share, totaling approximately $254.9 million, with 50% of the Purchase Price being paid in cash and the remaining 50% in Axon stock. This investment is expected to close in parts through the fourth quarter of 2026 and early 2027, subject to customary conditions. Strategic implications include a significant increase in Axon's stake in the drone company, reflecting its commitment to advancing in the tech sector. The deal is structured to ensure no more than 19.99% of Axon’s outstanding shares will be issued as equity in relation to this investment.

- : SEC 8-K (1.01): On September 15, 2026, Axon Enterprise, Inc. entered into a second amendment to its credit agreement, involving the Company as borrower and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the administrative agent. This amendment revises the original credit agreement dated December 15, 2022, and aims to facilitate the offering of 0% Convertible Notes due 2031. The effectiveness of the Second Amendment is contingent upon the completion of this offering, highlighting a strategic move to enhance financial flexibility. This agreement may significantly impact the Company's financing capabilities and future capital structure.
- : SEC 8-K (1.01): On September 18, 2026, Axon Enterprise, Inc. entered into a material definitive agreement by issuing $1,150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031. This issuance included $150.0 million from the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. The Notes were issued under a base indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company as trustee. These notes will not bear regular interest, meaning that the company expects to manage repayments without incurring regular interest expenses, which may strategically benefit its cash flow management. The different aspects of the agreement could affect Axon's financial structure significantly as it navigates its growth and capital strategy.
