In a delightful twist of fate, Argo Blockchain’s shares, those whimsical little creatures of the stock market, leapt a staggering 16%—a veritable pirouette of financial exuberance—after the company, in a flourish of legalese, signed a non-binding term sheet for a sumptuous feast of up to $40 million in senior secured convertible loans. Ah, the sweet scent of capital!
On the fateful day of March 3, the company, with all the pomp of a royal announcement, revealed that on February 25, it had inked a deal that would see an initial $15 million tranche, with the tantalizing promise of an additional $25 million over the next 18 months. With this newfound treasure, Argo Blockchain aims to upgrade its Bitcoin mining fleet nestled in the frosty embrace of Quebec, Canada, while also fortifying its balance sheet and embarking on a quest for mergers and acquisitions—because why not add a little drama to the mix?
Now, let us not forget the fine print: these loans come with an 8% interest rate and a 25% conversion premium, a delightful little twist based on Argo Blockchain’s share price prior to the signing. Investors, those ever-hopeful souls, will also be graced with warrants equal to 30% of the loan amount at a premium price, as the press release so charmingly informs us. Who, you may wonder, is the mysterious benefactor behind this funding? The crypto mining behemoth coyly hints at the involvement of “up to three multinational institutional investors.” Oh, the intrigue! They shall be rewarded with three coveted board seats once the ink dries and the shareholders give their nod of approval.
“The Financing is expected to be funded by up to three multinational institutional investors and will include 30% warrant coverage, also at a premium to the closing price. The Investor Group will have three seats on the board upon completion of definitive documents and shareholder approval.”
— Argo Blockchain
In a moment of uncharacteristic candor, Argo Blockchain’s chairman, the ever-optimistic Matt Shaw, proclaimed that this deal will “allow profitable growth at Argo and strengthen our balance sheet.” Following this grand proclamation, the company’s shares, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, soared 16% to a dazzling $0.45 in pre-market trading, as reported by the ever-reliable Yahoo Finance. Ah, the joys of capitalism! 🎉
