Revolving Credit Facility On March 24, 2021, Wayfair and certain of its subsidiaries (together, the “Guarantors”), and Wayfair’s wholly-owned subsidiary Wayfair LLC, as borrower (the “Borrower”), entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lending institutions from time-to-time parties thereto and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent, collateral agent, swingline lender and a letter of credit issuer. The Credit Agreement provides for a $600 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures on March 24, 2026 (the “Revolver”). Debt issuance costs for the Revolver are included in other non-current assets and are amortized to interest expense over the Revolver’s term. As of December 31, 2023, there were no revolving loans outstanding under the Revolver. Under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may, from time to time, request letters of credit, which reduce the availability of credit under the Revolver. Wayfair had approximately $76 million outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2023, primarily as security for lease agreements, which reduced the availability of credit under the Revolver. Any amounts outstanding under the Revolver are due at maturity. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower is required to make certain mandatory prepayments prior to maturity. The proceeds of the Revolver may be used to finance working capital, to refinance existing indebtedness and to provide funds for permitted acquisitions, repurchases of equity interests and other general corporate purposes. The Borrower’s obligations under the Revolver are guaranteed by the Guarantors. The obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors, including, with certain exceptions, all of the capital stock of Wayfair’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of Wayfair’s first-tier foreign subsidiaries. On October 11, 2021, the parties amended the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) to reflect technical and administrative changes related to the phaseout of LIBOR and the implementation of SONIA with respect to loans denominated in Pounds Sterling. Following Amendment No. 1, the Revolver borrowings bear interest through maturity at a variable rate based upon, at the Borrower’s option, (i) the LIBOR rate, (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (x) the prime rate, (y) one-half of 1.00% in excess of the federal funds effective rate and (z) 1.00% in excess of the one-month LIBOR rate) or (iii) with respect to loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, the RFR rate (which is the greater of (x) the SONIA rate and (y) 0.00%), plus, in each case an applicable margin. On June 13, 2023, the parties amended the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”) to reflect the phaseout of USD LIBOR and the implementation of Adjusted Term SOFR. Following Amendment No. 2, the Revolver borrowings bear interest through maturity at a variable rate based upon, at the Borrower’s option, (i) Adjusted Term SOFR, (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (x) the prime rate, (y) the NYFRB Rate in effect plus one-half of 1.00% and (z) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%), or (iii) with respect to loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Pounds Sterling), the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate (which is equal to (x) the Eurocurrency Rate for such interest period multiplied by (y) the Statutory Reserve Rate). As of December 31, 2023, the applicable margin for Adjusted Term SOFR or Eurocurrency loans is 1.25% per annum, the applicable margin for base rate loans is 0.25% per annum and the applicable margin for RFR loans is 1.2826% per annum. The applicable margin is subject to specified changes depending on Wayfair’s Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Borrower and the Guarantors, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on their assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, or change the nature of their businesses. The Revolver also contains customary events of default, subject to thresholds and grace periods, including, among others, payment default, covenant default, cross default to other material indebtedness and judgment default. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires Wayfair to maintain a Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 4.0 to 1.0, subject to a 0.5 step-up following certain permitted acquisitions. Wayfair does not expect any of these restrictions to affect or limit the ability to conduct business in the ordinary course. As of December 31, 2023, Wayfair was in compliance with all covenants. Convertible Non-Accreting Notes 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 In November 2018, Wayfair issued $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), which included the exercise in full of a $75.0 million option granted to the initial purchasers.

In August 2020, Wayfair issued $1.518 billion in aggregate principal amount of 0.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), which included the exercise in full of a $198.0 million option granted to the initial purchasers. In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Notes, Wayfair entered into capped calls that covered, initially, the number of shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock underlying the 2025 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2025 Notes (the “2025 Capped Calls”). In September 2022, in connection with the issuance of the 2027 Notes, as defined below, Wayfair repurchased for cash approximately $229 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes.

In connection with the 2026 Notes, Wayfair entered into capped calls that covered, initially, the number of shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock underlying the 2026 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2026 Notes (the “2026 Capped Calls”). In September 2022, Wayfair issued $690.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), which included the exercise in full of a $90.0 million option granted to the initial purchasers. In connection with the issuance of the 2027 Notes, Wayfair entered into capped calls that covered, initially, the number of shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock underlying the 2027 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2027 Notes (the “2027 Capped Calls”). In May 2023, Wayfair issued $690.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes” and together with the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes, the “Non-Accreting Notes”), which included the exercise in full of a $90.0 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”). Convertible Accreting Notes In April 2020, Wayfair issued $535.0 million in aggregate original principal amount of 2.50% Accreting Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Accreting Notes”, and collectively with the Non-Accreting Notes, the “Notes”) to Great Hill, CBEP Investments, LLC (“Charlesbank”) and The Spruce House Partnership LLC. The 2025 Accreting Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Wayfair LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wayfair Inc., as guarantor. 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 ten • 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 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes were not triggered during the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2023, therefore, the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes are not convertible during the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2024 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 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. Interest for the Accreting Notes is amortized to interest expense, net using the effective interest method over the term of the Accreting Notes and recorded to other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Upon accretion to the principal amount on April 1 and October 1 of each year, Wayfair will reclassify the interest accrued as of that date to long-term debt. 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 year ended December 31, 2023, there were no conversions of the Notes. Interest Expense The following table presents total interest expense recognized for the Notes for the years ended December 31: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Convertible Notes Contractual Interest Expense Debt Discount Amortization Total Interest Expense Contractual Interest Expense Debt Discount Amortization Total Interest Expense Contractual Interest Expense Debt Discount Amortization Total Interest Expense (in millions) 2024 Notes $ 2 $ 1 $ 3 $ 5 $ 2 $ 7 $ 7 $ 2 $ 9 2025 Notes 6 2 8 9 3 12 10 3 13 2026 Notes 9 2 11 9 2 11 9 2 11 2027 Notes 22 2 24 7 1 8 — — — 2028 Notes 15 1 16 — — — — — — 2025 Accreting Notes 1 — 1 1 — 1 (1) — (1) Total $ 55 $ 8 $ 63 $ 31 $ 8 $ 39 $ 25 $ 7 $ 32 Fair Value of Notes As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes and 2025 Accreting Notes was $116 million, $684 million, $837 million, $870 million, $1.1 billion and $32 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 December 31, 2023, the if-converted value of the 2028 Notes exceeded the principal value by $240 million. As of December 31, 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. |
