On July 6, 2023, DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the closing of the acquisition of Paperspace Co., a Delaware corporation (“Paperspace”), by DigitalOcean, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired Paperspace for $111 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition is expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company’s 2023 financial results. On its Q2 2023 earnings call on August 3, 2023, the Company will share more details on the strategic benefits of the acquisition and update the Company’s financial outlook for 2023.

The Company reaffirms the previously issued guidance for the second quarter of 2023, as stated in the Company’s press release, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on May 9, 2023 with the SEC, with respect to revenue, and expects to exceed the guidance for both adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP diluted net income per share.

These preliminary financial results are subject to revision in connection with the Company’s financial closing procedures and finalization of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Actual results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 may differ from these preliminary results.

The Company previously announced a stock repurchase program on February 16, 2023, which authorized the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock (the “Program”). As of June 30, 2023, the Company had repurchased shares under the Program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $370 million, consisting of the repurchase of 10,570,732 shares of common stock at an average price of $35.00 per share. The shares have been repurchased pursuant to 10b5-1 plans adopted by the Company. The Company had approximately 88.6 million shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2023.
