ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On February 27, 2026, Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC (“Amazon Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an equity commitment letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with OpenAI Group PBC (“OpenAI”), pursuant to which Amazon Sub agreed to purchase shares of OpenAI’s Series C Preferred Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) with an aggregate purchase price of $35.0 billion (the “Commitment Amount”). In connection therewith, the Company guaranteed the obligations of Amazon Sub. Amazon Sub may, in its sole discretion, elect to purchase all or any portion of the Commitment Shares at any time and from time to time pursuant to the Letter Agreement, provided that to the extent that it has not done so previously, Amazon Sub is obligated to purchase all remaining Commitment Shares upon the earlier to occur of (i) OpenAI meeting specified milestones, and (ii) OpenAI directly or indirectly consummating an initial public offering or direct listing of equity securities in the United States (a “Public Listing Transaction”), in each case subject to certain terms and conditions. If certain conditions are not satisfied until after a Public Listing Transaction occurs, then Amazon Sub’s purchase commitment will relate to the class of OpenAI’s common stock that is publicly traded at the same effective price per share as the Series C Preferred Stock price. The parties’ obligations under the Letter Agreement will terminate if Amazon Sub has not invested the Commitment Amount by December 31, 2028, which date may accelerate under certain circumstances. The investment provided for under the Letter Agreement is separate from and in addition to Amazon Sub’s agreement to invest $15.0 billion in OpenAI’s Series C Preferred Stock in connection with OpenAI’s current funding round, which Amazon Sub is obligated to purchase on March 31, 2026, subject to certain closing conditions.

The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Letter Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
