Item 8.01. Other Matters
Convertible Notes Offering
On October 30, 2024, Applied Digital Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), issued a press release announcing its intention to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $300 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private offering (the “Convertible Notes Offering”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to grant to the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the Convertible Notes are first issued, up to an additional $45 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes.
In connection with the Convertible Notes Offering, the Company expects to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount of up to one third of the final aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes, through (i) privately negotiated transactions effected concurrently with the pricing of the Convertible Notes (where the Company expects the purchase price per share of the common stock repurchased in such transactions to be equal to the closing price per share of the common stock on the date the Convertible Notes Offering of the Convertible Notes is priced) and (ii) in certain prepaid forward transactions with one of the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes or their affiliates.
A copy of the press release announcing the Convertible Notes Offering is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Consent, Waiver and Amendment to Prepaid Advance Agreement

The amendments (i) provide consent to the Convertible Notes Offering and share repurchase transactions described herein and (ii) remove certain prior restrictions on redemption of the promissory note before January 1, 2025. The Company anticipates repaying any remaining balance of the promissory note, approximately $6.9 million, in cash pursuant to its terms on or prior to its stated maturity date.
