Unit Purchase Agreement
On January 13, 2025, APLD HPC Holdings LLC (“APLDH”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Unit Purchase Agreement” or “UPA”) for its HPC Hosting Business with MIP VI HPC Holdings, LLC, which is an affiliate of funds and investment vehicles managed by entities within Macquarie Asset Management (“MAM”). Pursuant to the terms of the UPA, MAM will invest up to $900 million to fund the equity portion of the construction costs for the Company’s 400 MW Ellendale, North Dakota datacenter campus (the “Ellendale Campus”), with the initial investment of $225 million payable at closing, and the remaining $675 million payable in
increments of $2.25 million for each executed lease of 1 MW of capacity. MAM also has a right to invest up to an additional $4.1 billion in future HPC development projects. MAM will receive preferred and common units for its investment. The common units represent fifteen percent (15%) of APLDH’s fully diluted common equity. The preferred units will accrue a dividend at a rate of 12.75% per annum, paid in stock or cash, at APLDH’s election, which will increase by 87.5 basis points on the fifth and sixth anniversaries of the closing, if still outstanding, and will carry a minimum 1.80x multiple of invested capital liquidation preference, inclusive of the value of the common equity. The closing is conditioned upon, among other things, APLDH executing a lease with a hyperscaler for the first 100 MW on the Ellendale Campus, in a form acceptable to MAM, the parties finalizing and executing a limited liability company agreement for APLDH (the “LLCA”), for the Company and APLDH to carry out an internal restructuring to segregate the HPC Hosting Business’ assets and liabilities before closing, as well as other customary closing conditions.
In addition, the Unit Purchase Agreement provides for the Company to issue to MAM at closing two warrants to purchase 4,458,069 shares each, for a total of 8,916,138 shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $8.29 per share. The common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to customary registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be executed and delivered at closing. The LLCA is expected to contain customary provisions for transactions of this nature, including, for example, co-sale rights, transfer restrictions, governance rights, redemption rights, forced sale rights, and step-in rights.
