Item 8.01. Other Matters
On October 31, 2024, Applied Digital Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the upsize and pricing of its private offering (the “Offering”) of $375 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes will only be sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company also granted 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 $75 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The Offering is expected to close on November 4, 2024, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Company estimates that the net proceeds of the Offering will be approximately $361.8 million (or approximately $434.5 million if the initial purchasers exercise in full their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions but before estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use approximately $43.1 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes to pay the cost of certain capped call transactions, approximately $52.7 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes to fund the cost of entering into certain prepaid forward transaction, approximately $31.3 million to repurchase shares of its common stock and the remainder for general corporate purposes.
A copy of the press release announcing the pricing of the Offering is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
