On June 12, 2026, Amazon.com, Inc. closed its inaugural Canadian maple bond offering, issuing C$14 billion aggregate principal amount of Canadian dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes in five tranches with maturities ranging from three to 30 years (June 2029 through 2056). The offering ranks as the largest maple bond and the largest corporate bond offering in Canadian history, surpassing the prior C$8.5 billion record set by Alphabet Inc. earlier in 2026. The notes were priced on June 8, 2026 and the order book reportedly exceeded C$28 billion.
The 2029 tranche bears interest at 3.400 percent per annum and was priced at a spread of approximately 40 basis points over the Government of Canada curve, while the 30-year 2056 tranche was priced at approximately 110 basis points over the 3.50 percent Government of Canada bond due December 2057. The notes were issued on a prospectus-exempt basis in Canada and as global notes held through CDS & Co. as nominee, with a final pricing term sheet filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Amazon intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt, acquisitions, investments, working capital, investments in subsidiaries, capital expenditures and repurchases of outstanding shares of Amazon common stock. The financing forms part of Amazon's broader strategy to fund artificial intelligence and cloud computing infrastructure investments. RBC Capital Markets, TD Securities, Scotia Capital and J.P.
