Key Details

• PIPE total: $39.32M (MIG $15.0M, Atlas $5.0M, Conversant $5.95M, Other Investors $13.37M); per-share price $1.71 (Nasdaq close July 17, 2026).
• MIG Convertible Note: $10.0M principal, 10.0% PIK interest (compounded), 3‑year maturity, secured by mining equipment and pledged Mississippi powered land; conversion price $2.1375/share; default rate increases to 15%. Special mandatory redemption at 130% if regulatory approvals not obtained by March 31, 2027.
• MIG Warrant: exercisable immediately for 1,754,386 shares at $1.71/share, 3‑year term (beneficial‑ownership limits apply).
• Corporate governance and investor protections: MIG and Atlas to receive investor rights (board seats/observer rights, registration rights, ROFO/right of first offer, sponsor incentive arrangements); board reconstitution plans described. Conversant receives a director nomination right, participation and registration rights and ownership‑threshold protections.
• Stockholder consent: holders of a majority of voting power approved the issuances and adoption of an amended equity incentive plan; information statement to be mailed (actions effective after required notice periods).
• Use of proceeds: company intends to use net PIPE proceeds to redeem approximately $33M remaining of its 8.50% senior notes due Oct 2026, with any remainder for general corporate purposes.

Why It Matters
This financing provides immediate liquidity and a path to reduce near‑term debt (intended partial redemption of ~ $33M senior notes), while introducing new strategic investors with board influence (MIG, Atlas, Conversant). Investors should note potential dilution from the $10M convertible note and warrants, the secured nature of MIG’s convertible note (miners and powered land pledged), and conditional closing terms (Nasdaq listing approvals, regulatory approvals and execution of security and investor rights documents). The name and ticker change are administrative but signal a rebrand; important governance and registration mechanics (stockholder consent, information statement, shelf registrations) remain subject to timing and regulatory approvals.
