Convertible Notes Offering

On August 12, 2024, Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its intention to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to grant to the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $37.5 million aggregate principal amount of the notes. A copy of the press release announcing the offering is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On August 12, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has priced a private offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its convertible senior notes due 2031. The notes will only be sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company also granted to the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the notes. The offering is expected to close on August 14, 2024, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds of the offering will be approximately $243.8 million (or approximately $292.5 million if the initial purchasers exercise in full their option to purchase additional notes), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions but before estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to acquire additional bitcoin and for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, strategic acquisitions, expansion of existing assets, and repayment of debt and other outstanding obligations.

A copy of the press release announcing the pricing of the offering is filed as Exhibit 99.2 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.
