Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On July 22, 2024 (the “Effective Date”) Soluna Holdings,Inc. (the “Company”) closed the financing on the Dorothy 2 project, where Soluna Digital, Inc. (as the “Developer”) and Soluna DVSL II ComputeCo, LLC (as the special purpose vehicle initially owned solely by the Developer, the “ComputeCo”) are collaborating on the development, design, procurement and construction of a 48 MW modular data center, owned by ComputeCo and operated by Soluna US Services, LLC, located in Briscoe County, TX at 9981 Co Rd F, Silverton TX 79257, and such data center may engage in cryptocurrency, batch processing, and other non-crypto related activities (the “DVSL II Facility”). The DVSL II Facility will be adjacent to two other Soluna modular data center projects co-located at the same site. The DVSL II Facility is financed by Soluna2 SLC Fund II Project Holdco LLC (the “Investor”), which will make a capital contribution up to US $29,979,940, and the Company (the parent company of ComputeCo), which will make a capital contribution up to US $4,599,968, and as of the Effective Date became co-owners of ComputeCo with the Developer.
The Dorothy 2 project also allows for a developer investment where the Developer can invest into ComputeCo up until the total ownership of Developer and its affiliates equals 49% ownership of the Class B Membership Interests. The terms of such developer investment are limited by the Developer investing within 30 days after the Effective Date (to be treated equal to the initial Investor), from day 31 to 180 days after the Effective Date (to be subject to a purchase price formula with a 20% discount rate), or 180 days after the Effective Date (where the Developer needs the initial Investor’s approval to invest).
On May 16, 2024 the Company closed on a US $1,000,000 financing of equipment and machinery to be purchased for the DVSL II Facility, pursuant to the terms of an Equipment Loan Agreement (the “ELA”) between SDI SL Borrowing - 1, LLC (the “Borrower”) and Investor. On such date, the Investor lent the Borrower US $720,000 (“Borrowing Amount”) to purchase medium voltage cables and low voltage switchboards. The Borrower’s debt under the ELA was later assigned to ComputeCo on the Effective Date. Subsequently, on the Effective Date, the Borrower satisfied and repaid the Borrowing Amount in full by issuing the Investor Class B Membership Interests in the Dorothy 2 project at three times the value of the Borrowing Amount (i.e., US $2,160,000).
The foregoing descriptions of the transaction documents do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, copies of which will be filed with the Company’s next applicable periodic period in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
