- Additions to working capital, capital expenditures, and future acquisitions or strategic investments.
Pending other uses, proceeds will be invested in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities or held as cash.
Outlook, Risks, and Covenants

- Redemption: Workday may redeem the notes at its option at specified dates and prices.
- Change of Control: If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, Workday must offer to purchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest.
- Covenants: The Indenture includes limited covenants restricting the ability to incur certain liens and enter into specific sale and leaseback transactions.
