Amazon (亚马逊) (AMZN) issued £4.25 billion across four bond tranches, with coupons ranging from 5.200% to 6.650%.

Financial_Express reported that Amazon (亚马逊), ticker AMZN, issued £4.25 billion of sterling-denominated bonds in four maturity tranches, citing a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing. The supplied source set does not include that filing itself, so the filing attribution is secondhand rather than directly verified against an SEC document.
A subsequent report described the transaction as Amazon’s first sterling bond issuance, raising approximately $5.8 billion at the conversion reported by the source. It said Amazon increased the transaction’s size despite investor orders retreating from an earlier level.
Reported subscriptions totaled £10.65 billion, down from more than £12 billion previously. The shortest, three-year tranche was priced at a yield spread of 53 basis points over UK government bonds, while the longest tranche carried a 93-basis-point spread; these spreads are separate from the 5.200%–6.650% coupon range.
The messages describe an issuance and funds raised, not merely a proposed borrowing facility, but do not specify settlement timing or the amount allocated to each tranche. They also provide no use-of-proceeds allocation, collateral, conversion provisions, or financing conditions, so the proceeds cannot be assigned specifically to AI infrastructure.
