TeraWulf Inc. Announces Closing of $500 Million 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes Offering
October 25 2024 - 3:01PM
TeraWulf Inc. (Nasdaq: WULF) (“TeraWulf” or the “Company”), a
leading owner and operator of vertically integrated,
next-generation digital infrastructure powered by predominantly
zero-carbon energy, today completed its previously announced
offering of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the
“Convertible Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably
believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). The aggregate principal amount of notes sold in the offering
was $500 million, which includes $75 million aggregate principal
amount of notes issued pursuant to an option to purchase additional
notes granted to the initial purchasers.
In conjunction with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the
Company entered into capped call transactions with a cap price of
$12.80 (representing a premium of 100% over the last reported sale
price) and repurchased $115 million of the Company’s common
stock.
The table below illustrates the potential net dilution
expectations from the overall transaction.
The net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes were
approximately $487.1 million after deducting the initial
purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses payable by the Company. The Company expects to use $60
million of the net proceeds to pay the cost of the capped call
transactions, $115 million to repurchase shares of its common stock
and the remainder for general corporate purposes, which may include
working capital, strategic acquisitions, expansion of data center
infrastructure to support high-performance computing activities and
expansion of existing assets.
