Amazon has arranged a $17.5 billion delayed-draw term loan facility to fund its artificial intelligence projects, part of over $80 billion it has raised externally this year. The loan must be drawn by September 30 and carries a three-year maturity from borrowing, with interest tied to SOFR plus a margin based on Amazon's credit rating.
