Booking Holdings is arranging a EUR 3.55 billion senior unsecured bond offering as the online travel company broadens its funding options. The prospectus supplement dated November 9, 2026, and made available through EDGAR on November 10, sets out four euro-denominated tranches with delivery expected on Friday, November 13. The details are contained in the Booking Holdings prospectus supplement.

Four maturities shape the offering

The issue comprises EUR 1.25 billion of 3.950% senior notes due in November 2029, EUR 800 million of 4.375% notes due in November 2032, and two EUR 750 million tranches. The latter carry coupons of 4.750% and 5.000% and mature in 2035 and 2038, respectively. Interest will be paid annually, beginning on November 13, 2027.

Booking expects net proceeds of about EUR 3.524 billion after underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The company says it intends to use the money for general corporate purposes, including repurchasing common stock and redeeming or repaying indebtedness. The notes rank equally with Booking's other senior unsecured debt, but stand behind secured debt to the extent of the collateral and are structurally subordinated to liabilities at subsidiaries.

Financing adds to investor focus

The transaction gives Booking access to euro funding across short, medium and long maturities. For shareholders, the stated use of proceeds links the financing to capital allocation decisions, while the additional obligations also keep leverage and refinancing needs in focus. The prospectus says liabilities of consolidated subsidiaries, excluding intercompany liabilities, totaled about USD 18.2 billion as of September 30, 2026.
