## FAQ

**Q. What does it mean that the warrants are not on the books?**

The 10-Q states that as of June 27 no warrant shares had vested or become exercisable and the warrants had no impact on the Q2 and first-half financial statements. Tranches vest as conditions (GPU purchase milestones, share-price thresholds) are met, and the company says the warrants will be classified as liabilities until certain conditions for equity classification are met. What that accounting means for shareholders is explained in the subscriber section.

**Q. Where did the $598m of other income come from?**

MD&A attributes the increase primarily to 'unrealized gains from the public market listing of non-marketable equity securities during the second quarter'. The company is not named. Long-term investments include $1.2bn of marketable equity securities at market value ($1.1bn of which is subject to sale restrictions expiring through October 2028) and $1.7bn of non-marketable equity securities.

**Q. What are the lease guarantees and investment commitments?**

Guarantees of commercial partners' data-center leases with maximum gross exposure of $4.1bn (terms up to 15 years), recorded as a credit derivative in other long-term liabilities and described as not material. Separately, the subsequent-events note says that after June 27 the company entered into investment commitments of up to $5.0bn, subject to contingencies, expected through fiscal 2028.

**Q. Where can I verify these numbers?**

On SEC EDGAR: AMD's Q2 2026 Form 10-Q (accession 0000002488-26-000123), statement of operations, the 'Warrants' section of the equity note, the fair-value note, lease guarantees, subsequent events, MD&A other income, and the cover page for shares outstanding.
