The most eye-catching aspect of the agreement is the stock warrant terms: OpenAI is able to acquire up to 160 million AMD warrants at a price of $0.01 per share, representing approximately 10% of the outstanding shares, and the exercise is linked to the GPU deployment progress, with a maximum exercise price of $600 until October 5, 2030.
