NOTE 8 – BORROWINGS

 

Marshall loan

 

In December 2021, the Company’s subsidiary and an Australian entity, MIG No. 1 Pty Ltd entered into a Secured Loan Facility Agreement with Marshall Investments MIG Pty Ltd. The loan matured in February 2024 and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum (with an overdue rate provision of an additional 500bps), payable monthly with interest payments commencing that commenced in December 2021. This loan facility is secured by direct assets of MIG No.1 Pty Ltd and a general security agreement given by the Company. Principal repayments began during November 2022. The outstanding balance including interest is $9.09 million as of March 31, 2024, all of which is classified as a current liability. MIG No. 1 Pty Ltd has not made a principal and interest payment since May 2023. Marshall and MIG No. 1 Pty Ltd have each reserved their rights. On March 19, 2024, the Company’s subsidiary and Australian entity Mig No.1 Pty Ltd was placed into an Australian court appointed liquidation and wind-up process and was deconsolidated for the Group from this date, refer to note 3. On March 19, 2024, Marshall appointed receivers and managers in Australia under the terms of their security relating to their secured loan facility. The direct assets that secure this loan include 5,372 miners and 8 modular data centers (“MDCs”), these assets are held by the MIG No.1 and therefore were included in the deconsolidation. The receiver’s statutory duty includes the obligation to sell the secured assets at market value or, if market value is not known, at the best price reasonably obtainable to maximize the prospects of there being sufficient proceeds available to satisfy the balance of the outstanding secured debt. It is therefore expected that this loan balance will be offset in the future by the amount received from the sale of these miners and MDCs.

On February 23, 2022, Luna entered into a Co-Location Agreement with Celsius Mining LLC. In connection with this agreement, Celsius Mining LLC loaned Luna a principal amount of $20 million, for the purpose of funding the infrastructure required to meet the obligations of the Co-Location Agreement, for which Luna issued a Secured Promissory Note for repayment of such amount.

Under the Co-location Agreement, Celsius Mining LLC advanced $15.33 million to Luna that were held as a deposit. Whether that amount has been forfeited or must be returned to Celsius Mining LLC is the subject of a dispute between the parties.
