The San Francisco-based company is also aiming at raising $600 million from hedge funds and international strategic investors in order to add to its December financing of $1.2 billion, according to a report from Bloomberg. The convertible bond carries a coupon that increases over time if Uber hasn't gone public within 4 years.
The company recently made headlines after Travis Kalanick, Uber's CEO, said the car service provider will create 50,000 jobs in Europe this year.
Uber Technologies declined to comment.
