Applied Digital enters $150 million Series G convertible preferred equity facility
Key points
- Entered a preferred equity purchase agreement (PEPA) on April 30, 2025 giving the company the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $150 million of newly designated Series G convertible preferred stock to institutional investors.
- Shares carry a $1,000 stated value and purchase price, no preferred dividends, and are sold at a 4% original issue discount; draws are at the company's discretion in $25 million increments over a 36-month term.
- Conversion price is the greater of 95% of the lowest daily VWAP over the five preceding trading days and a $4.25 initial floor (reducible to no lower than $1.34), subject to a 4.99% ownership cap and a 19.99% exchange cap.
- Proceeds will fund development of the Ellendale HPC campus and general corporate purposes; the first data center building is nearing construction completion while the second is in build-out.
- In connection with the PEPA, the company terminated its standby equity purchase agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. with no shares issued and no penalties.
