Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

ASR Agreements

On March 11, 2026, Salesforce, Inc. (the “Company” or “Salesforce”) entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (the “ASR Agreements”) with Banco Santander, S.A., Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (collectively, the “ASR Counterparties”). Under the terms of the ASR Agreements, the Company will repurchase an aggregate of $25 billion of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (such stock, the “Common Stock” ), as part of a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) authorized the Share Repurchase Program in August 2022. In February 2026, the Board authorized an aggregate total of $50 billion of share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program (inclusive of any amounts remaining under prior authorizations).

Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreements, the Company will make payments in an aggregate amount of $25 billion to the ASR Counterparties on March 16, 2026, and the Company will receive on March 16, 2026 the initial deliveries of approximately 80% of the total shares that would be purchased under the ASR Agreements, measured based on the closing price of the Common Stock on March 11, 2026. The exact number of shares of Common Stock that the Company will ultimately repurchase pursuant to the ASR Agreements will be determined based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Common Stock during the term of the ASR Agreements, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreements.

Upon final settlement of the ASR Agreements, under certain circumstances, each of the ASR Counterparties may be required to deliver additional shares of Common Stock, or the Company may be required to deliver shares of Common Stock or to make a cash payment, at its election, to the ASR Counterparties. The final settlement of each transaction under the ASR Agreements is scheduled to occur in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Each of the ASR Agreements contains customary terms for these types of transactions, including, among others, the mechanisms to determine the number of shares or the amount of cash that will be delivered at settlement, the required timing of delivery upon settlement, the specific circumstances under which adjustments may be made to the transactions, the specific circumstances under which the transactions may be cancelled prior to the scheduled maturity and various acknowledgments, representations and warranties made by the Company and the ASR Counterparties, as applicable, to one another.

The form of the ASR Agreements is included herein as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the ASR Agreements is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the ASR Agreements. J. Wood Capital Advisors acted as financial adviser to Salesforce in connection with the accelerated share repurchase transactions.

Underwriting Agreement

On March 11, 2026, Salesforce entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, on behalf of the several Underwriters listed in Schedule A thereto (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriters $3,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), $4,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.650% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), $3,750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.900% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”), $2,750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.200% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”), $4,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.550% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “2036 Notes”), $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.400% Senior Notes due 2046 (the “2046 Notes”), $3,750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.550% Senior Notes due 2056 (the “2056 Notes”) and $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.700% Senior Notes due 2066 (the “2066 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes, the 2029 Notes, the 2031 Notes, the 2033 Notes, the 2036 Notes, the 2046 Notes and the 2056 Notes, the “Notes”) in a registered public offering (the “Offering”).

The Offering is expected to close on March 13, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $24.885 billion. The Company intends to use all of these net proceeds to repurchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ASR Agreements.

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the respective Underwriters against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Offering and for customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities.

Please refer to the Prospectus Supplement for additional information regarding the Offering and the terms and conditions thereof. The foregoing summary of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Five-Year Credit Agreement

On March 11, 2026, the Company entered into a Five-Year Credit Agreement with the lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other parties from time to time party thereto (the “Five-Year Credit Agreement”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Five-Year Credit Agreement, the lenders thereunder provided the Company with $6 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured term loans, the proceeds of which were used to fund the repayment in full of borrowings under the Company’s (i) $4 billion term loan facility pursuant to the 364-Day Credit Agreement, dated June 20, 2025, by and among the Company, the lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other parties from time to time party thereto, and (ii) the Company’s $2 billion term loan facility under the Three-Year Credit Agreement, dated June 20, 2025, by and among the Company, the lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other parties from time to time party thereto, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the repayment of such borrowings. The loans made under the Five-Year Credit Agreement will mature and be payable in full five years after the date on which they were borrowed.

Borrowings under the Five-Year Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, an alternate base rate or term SOFR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin calculated based on the Company’s credit ratings. The Company will also pay to the lenders under the Five-Year Credit Agreement certain customary fees.

Voluntary prepayments of the loans under the Five-Year Credit Agreement are permissible without penalty (other than customary SOFR loan breakage), subject to certain conditions pertaining to minimum notice and minimum prepayment amounts.

The Five-Year Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants customary for unsecured financings of this type.

The Five-Year Credit Agreement also contains various events of default (subject to grace periods, as applicable) including, among others: nonpayment of principal, interest or fees; breach of covenants; payment default on, or acceleration under, certain other material indebtedness; inaccuracy of the representations or warranties in any material respect; bankruptcy or insolvency; certain unfunded liabilities under employee benefit plans; certain unsatisfied judgments; certain ERISA-related events; certain changes of control; and the invalidity or unenforceability of the Five-Year Credit Agreement or certain other documents executed in connection therewith.

The foregoing summary of the Five-Year Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Five-Year Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Many of the lenders under the Five-Year Credit Agreement and/or their affiliates have in the past performed, and may in the future from time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory, lending and/or commercial banking services, or other services for the Company and its subsidiaries (including in connection with the other transactions described in this Current Report on Form 8-K), for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation and expense reimbursement.
