Applied Digital Corp. Secures $430M Revolver; PEPA Boosted to $2B
What Happened
- Applied Digital Corporation filed an 8-K on June 26, 2026 announcing an Incremental Assumption Agreement that amended its May 29, 2026 Credit Agreement to increase the secured revolving credit commitments to $430.0 million. The borrower is APLD Intermediate HoldCo LLC and First National Bank of Omaha serves as administrative and collateral agent.
- The Credit Facility matures May 28, 2029, includes a $430.0 million letter-of-credit sub‑facility (which reduces borrowing availability), and permits the Borrower to increase total commitments by up to $120.0 million (to a potential $550.0 million). Interest is at an applicable margin plus either Term SOFR (floor 0.00%) or a base rate; margins are 2.25% for Term SOFR loans and 1.25% for base-rate loans. The facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions.
- The company also entered a Sixth Amendment to its Preferred Equity Purchase Agreement (PEPA) to raise the aggregate commitment for issuance of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock from $1,590,000,000 to $2,000,000,000. Sales of Series G and the common shares issuable on conversion will be made in a private offering relying on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Key Details
- Revolving credit commitments increased to $430.0 million; LC sub‑facility equals $430.0 million.
- Facility maturity: May 28, 2029; optional expansion up to an additional $120.0 million (total potential $550.0 million).
- Interest margins: +2.25% for Term SOFR loans; +1.25% for base-rate loans; Term SOFR floor 0.00%.
- PEPA commitment for Series G Preferred Stock increased from $1.59B to $2.0B; issuance is a private placement under Section 4(a)(2).
Why It Matters
- The amended credit facility gives Applied Digital additional committed liquidity and flexibility to finance data center and related development projects and to support operations through 2029. Increased commitment capacity (and the option to expand) reduces near-term refinancing risk.
- The PEPA increase expands the company’s ability to raise preferred equity (which can convert into common stock), providing another non-bank financing option—however, such issuances could dilute common shareholders if converted. Both arrangements create potential obligations that could affect leverage and interest/dividend costs; customary covenants and default provisions could accelerate debt if breached.
