Descrizione dettagliata Amazon è una multinazionale statunitense che opera nel commercio elettronico, nell'informatica in cloud, nell'intelligenza artificiale e in altri settori tecnologici.

Un'analisi approfondita rivela l'obbligazione con codice ISIN US023135BU94 e codice CUSIP 023135BU9, emessa da Amazon, un colosso globale con sede negli Stati Uniti che domina il settore dell'e-commerce, del cloud computing tramite Amazon Web Services (AWS), e si estende nell'intrattenimento digitale e nella logistica, posizionandosi come una delle aziende più influenti e capitalizzate al mondo. La sua vasta impronta operativa e la sua solida posizione finanziaria si riflettono nella capacità di emettere debito a lungo termine sul mercato. Questa specifica emissione obbligazionaria, denominata in Dollari Americani (USD), presenta un tasso d'interesse cedolare fisso del 2.7%, con pagamenti degli interessi distribuiti agli obbligazionisti con frequenza semestrale, garantendo un flusso di cassa periodico. La scadenza è fissata al 3 giugno 2060, conferendo a questo titolo una durata estremamente estesa e collocandolo tra gli strumenti di debito a lunghissimo termine disponibili sul mercato. L'ammontare totale dell'emissione ammonta a 2 miliardi di USD, con una dimensione minima di acquisto stabilita a 2.000 USD, rendendola accessibile a diversi tipi di investitori, inclusi quelli istituzionali e, per lotti minimi, anche qualificati investitori privati. Al momento, il prezzo di mercato di questa obbligazione si attesta al 56.405% del suo valore nominale, un fattore chiave per la valutazione del rendimento effettivo per l'investitore in considerazione della lunga vita residua del titolo. La solidità creditizia dell'emittente è ulteriormente confermata dalle valutazioni delle agenzie di rating: Standard & Poor's ha assegnato un rating di 'AA', mentre Moody's ha attribuito un 'A1', entrambe posizionando il debito di Amazon nella fascia "investment grade" elevata, il che indica una capacità molto forte dell'azienda di adempiere ai propri impegni finanziari e una percezione di basso rischio di credito da parte del mercato.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the
accompanying prospectus contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements
other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding guidance, industry prospects, or future results of operations or financial position,
made in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus are forward-looking. We use words such as
anticipates, believes, expects, future, intends, and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect
management's current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including, among others,
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, changes in global economic conditions and customer spending, world events, the rate of growth of the Internet,
online commerce, and cloud services, the amount that we invest in new business opportunities and the timing of those investments, the mix of products and
services sold to customers, the mix of net sales derived from products as compared with services, the extent to which we owe income or other taxes,
competition, management of growth, potential fluctuations in operating results, international growth and expansion, the outcomes of claims, litigation,
government investigations, and other proceedings, fulfillment, sortation, delivery, and data center optimization, risks of inventory management, seasonality,
the degree to which we enter into, maintain, and develop commercial agreements, proposed and completed acquisitions and strategic transactions,
payments risks, and risks of fulfillment throughput and productivity. In addition, additional or unforeseen effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and the
global economic climate may give rise to or amplify many of these risks. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other risks and uncertainties that could
cause our actual results to differ significantly from management's expectations, are described in greater detail in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, under "Item 1A. Risk Factors." Although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions, no
assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can or will be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on such statements which speak only as of the date they are made. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law, you are advised to consult any additional

About Amazon.com
We seek to be Earth's most customer-centric company. We are guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus,
passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. In each of our segments, we serve our primary customer sets,
consisting of consumers, sellers, developers, enterprises, and content creators. In addition, we provide services, such as advertising to sellers, vendors,
publishers, and authors, through programs such as sponsored ads, display, and video advertising.
We have organized our operations into three segments: North America, International, and Amazon Web Services ("AWS"). These segments
reflect the way the Company evaluates its business performance and manages its operations.
Consumers
We serve consumers through our online and physical stores and focus on selection, price, and convenience. We design our stores to enable
hundreds of millions of unique products to be sold by us and by third parties across dozens of product categories. Customers access our offerings
through our websites, mobile apps, Alexa, devices, streaming, and physically visiting our stores. We also manufacture and sell electronic devices,
including Kindle, Fire tablet, Fire TV, Echo, Ring, and other devices, and we develop and produce media content. We seek to offer our customers low
prices, fast and free delivery, easy-to-use functionality, and timely customer service. In addition, we offer Amazon Prime, a membership program
that includes unlimited free shipping on over 100 million items, access to unlimited streaming of tens of thousands of movies and TV episodes,
including Amazon Original content, and other benefits.
We fulfill customer orders in a number of ways, including through: North America and International fulfillment and delivery networks that we
operate; co-sourced and outsourced arrangements in certain countries; digital delivery; and through our physical stores. We operate customer service
centers globally, which are supplemented by co-sourced arrangements.
Sellers
We offer programs that enable sellers to grow their businesses, sell their products in our stores, and fulfill orders through us. We are not the
seller of record in these transactions. We earn fixed fees, a percentage of sales, per-unit activity fees, interest, or some combination thereof, for our
seller programs.
Developers and Enterprises
We serve developers and enterprises of all sizes, including start-ups, government agencies, and academic institutions, through our AWS
segment, which offers a broad set of global compute, storage, database, and other service offerings.

We serve authors and independent publishers with Kindle Direct Publishing, an online service that lets independent authors and publishers
choose a royalty option and make their books available in the Kindle Store, along with Amazon's own publishing arm, Amazon Publishing. We also
offer programs that allow authors, musicians, filmmakers, skill and app developers, and others to publish and sell content.

"Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, before investing in the notes.
In addition to the foregoing risks relating to us, the following are additional risks relating to an investment in the notes.
The notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
The notes are obligations exclusively of Amazon.com, Inc. and not of any of our subsidiaries. Our operations are primarily conducted through our
subsidiaries, which are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts due under the notes or to make any funds available therefor,
whether by dividends, loans, or other payments. Except to the extent we are a creditor with recognized claims against our subsidiaries, all claims of
creditors (including trade creditors) of our subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims (and therefore the
claims of our creditors, including holders of the notes). Consequently, the notes will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities of our subsidiaries and any
subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or establish, including the lenders under a secured revolving credit facility and the creditors for any additional
secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
The notes are subject to prior claims of any secured creditors, and if a default occurs, we may not have sufficient funds to fulfill our obligations
under the notes.
The notes are our unsecured general obligations, ranking equally with other senior unsecured indebtedness outstanding from time to time. The
indenture governing the notes and our existing outstanding senior notes, and the agreements governing our other debt, permit us and our subsidiaries to
incur additional indebtedness, including secured debt. If we incur any additional secured debt, our assets will be subject to prior claims by our secured
creditors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, or other winding up,
assets that secure debt will be available to pay obligations on the notes only after all debt secured by those assets has been repaid in full. Holders of the
notes will participate in our remaining assets ratably with all of our unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, including holders of our existing notes and our
trade creditors. If we incur any additional obligations that rank equally with the notes, including trade payables, the holders of those obligations will be
entitled to share ratably with the holders of the notes and our existing notes in any proceeds distributed upon our insolvency, liquidation, reorganization,
dissolution, or other winding up. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If there are not sufficient assets remaining to
pay all of these creditors, all or a portion of the notes then outstanding would remain unpaid.
The limited covenants in the indenture for the notes and the terms of the notes do not provide protection against some types of important
corporate events and may not protect your investment.
The indenture for the notes does not:

·
require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow, or liquidity and, accordingly, does not

protect holders of the notes in the event that we experience significant adverse changes in our financial condition or results of operations;

·
restrict our subsidiaries' ability to issue securities or otherwise incur indebtedness or other liabilities that would be senior to our equity

interests in our subsidiaries and therefore would be structurally senior to the notes;

·
limit our ability to incur secured indebtedness that would effectively rank senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing

the indebtedness, or to engage in sale/leaseback transactions;


·
limit our ability to incur indebtedness that is equal in right of payment to the notes;


·
restrict our ability to repurchase or prepay our securities;

·
restrict our ability to make investments or to repurchase or pay dividends or make other payments in respect of our common stock or other

securities ranking junior to the notes;


·
restrict our ability to enter into highly leveraged transactions; or


·
require us to repurchase the notes in the event of a change in control.
As a result of the foregoing, when evaluating the terms of the notes, you should be aware that the terms of the indenture and the notes do not restrict
our ability to engage in, or to otherwise be a party to, a variety of corporate transactions, circumstances, and events, such as certain acquisitions,
refinancings, or recapitalizations that could substantially and adversely affect our capital structure and the value of the notes. For these reasons, you should
not consider the covenants in the indenture as a significant factor in evaluating whether to invest in the notes.
Changes in our credit ratings may adversely affect your investment in the notes.
The major debt rating agencies routinely evaluate our debt. These ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell the notes, inasmuch as
the ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor, are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an
investment in the notes, but rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. The ratings are based on information
furnished to the ratings agencies by us and information obtained by the ratings agencies from other sources. An explanation of the significance of such
rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There can be no assurance that such credit ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or
that such ratings will not be lowered, suspended, or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies, if, in each rating agency's judgment, circumstances so
warrant. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under further review for a
downgrade, could affect the market value and liquidity of the notes and increase our corporate borrowing costs.
There may not be active markets for the notes.
We cannot assure you that trading markets for the notes will ever develop or will be maintained. Further, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity
of any markets that may develop for the notes, your ability to sell your notes, or the prices at which you will be able to sell your notes. Future trading
prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and results of operations, the then-current ratings
assigned to the notes, and the market for similar securities. In addition, other factors being equal, an increase in the prevailing interest rates will cause the
market price of the notes to decline. Any trading markets that develop for the notes would be affected by many factors independent of and in addition to the
foregoing, including the:


·
propensity of existing holders to trade their positions in the notes;


·
time remaining to the maturity of the notes;


·
outstanding amount of the notes;


·
redemption of the notes; and


·
level, direction, and volatility of market interest rates generally.

Redemption may adversely affect your return on the notes.
We have the right to redeem some or all of the notes prior to maturity. We may redeem the notes at times when prevailing interest rates may be
relatively low. Accordingly, you may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as that of
the notes.

The net proceeds from the sale of the notes are estimated to be approximately $9.901 billion, after deducting the underwriting discounts and
commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes. The net proceeds may be temporarily invested by us in
interest-bearing securities prior to use.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The following is a description of the particular terms of the 2023 notes, the 2025 notes, the 2027 notes, the 2030 notes, the 2050 notes, and the 2060
notes offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement. This description supplements and, to the extent inconsistent, modifies the description of the general
terms and provisions of senior debt securities set forth in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities." To the extent the
description in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the description contained in the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the description
in this prospectus supplement. The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the base indenture, dated as of
November 29, 2012, between us and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee, which we refer to as the indenture, including a
supplement or an officers' certificate pursuant to that indenture for the notes. You may review a copy of the indenture through the SEC's website listed in
"Where You Can Find More Information" in this prospectus supplement. You may also request a copy of the indenture from us as set forth in "Information
Incorporated by Reference" in this prospectus supplement. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as a
holder of the notes.
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this prospectus supplement or in the accompanying prospectus have the meanings given to them in the
indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

General
We may, without the consent of existing holders, increase the principal amount of the notes of any series by issuing more such notes in the future, on
the same terms and conditions (other than differences in the issue date, issue price, interest accrued prior to the issue date of such additional notes, and
restrictions on transfer in respect of such additional notes) and with the same CUSIP number (unless the additional notes of a series are not fungible for U.S.
federal income tax or securities law purposes with such series, in which case such additional notes will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers), in each
case, as the notes of the relevant series being offered by this prospectus supplement. We do not plan to inform the existing holders if we re-open any series
of the notes to issue and sell additional notes of such series in the future. Additional notes of a series issued in this manner will be consolidated with and
will form a single series with the applicable series of the notes being offered hereby.
In some circumstances, we may elect to discharge our obligations under a series of notes through full defeasance or covenant defeasance. See "--
Defeasance" below for more information.
We will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes. We may at any time and from time
to time purchase notes in the open market or otherwise.
Denominations
The notes of each series will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
