Applied Digital Closes $150 Million Senior Secured Note With Macquarie Equipment Capital

Details

The financing, which refinances an existing credit facility, lowers the cost of capital for the Ellendale High Performance Computing data center campus, provides greater flexibility for future financings by eliminating a parent guarantee and cross-collateralization, and removes encumbrances on assets outside of APLD Holdings 2. The 18-month note bears a low interest rate of 0.25% per annum and is subject to an initial minimum return hurdle of 1.11x within the first four months that scales up to 1.35x over its term. Macquarie will receive warrants for 1,035,197 shares of Applied Digital Common Stock with a strike price of $9.66 per share.
