senior secured revolving credit facility financial

"closing of a $1.07 billion four-year senior secured revolving credit facility"

A senior secured revolving credit facility is a multi‑use bank lending line that a company can draw, repay and redraw as needed, backed by specific assets and ranked first in repayment order if the company defaults. Think of it like a collateralized credit card that gives flexible short‑term cash while lenders hold priority to recover their money; investors watch it because it affects a company’s liquidity, borrowing cost, and who gets paid first in financial distress.

sofr financial

"drawn margin ranging from SOFR plus 150 to 200 basis points"

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a market benchmark that measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Investors watch SOFR because it acts like a speedometer for short-term interest costs—affecting loan rates, bond yields and the pricing of interest-rate contracts—so movements change borrowing expenses, cash returns and the value of interest-sensitive investments.

non-recourse financial

"$7.5 billion of fully amortizing, non-recourse investment-grade project financing"

A non-recourse loan is a type of debt where the lender’s recovery is limited to a specific asset pledged as collateral, and the borrower cannot be personally pursued for any remaining balance if the asset’s value falls short. For investors, non-recourse financing shifts downside risk onto the lender and protects a borrower’s other assets, which can affect a company’s risk profile, borrowing costs, and potential returns — much like insurance that covers only the item left as collateral.

letter-of-credit sublimit financial

"The Facility's $1.07 billion letter-of-credit sublimit"

A letter-of-credit sublimit is a specific cap inside a loan agreement that limits how much of a borrower’s credit can be used to support letters of credit (bank guarantees used in trade or contracts). Think of it as a separate pocket in a wallet reserved for guarantees: it doesn’t reduce the overall loan ceiling but restricts how much can be tied up as third‑party assurances. Investors care because a tight sublimit can constrain a company’s liquidity, ability to win deals that require guarantees, and its room to manage cash or meet covenants.

Committed bank liquidity expands funding capacity across the development lifecycle

MIAMI, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq, TSX: HUT) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies, today announced the closing of a $1.07 billion four-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Facility").

The Facility strengthens Hut 8's parent-level liquidity and broadens access to capital as the Company continues to pursue an investment-grade corporate profile. The financing builds on Hut 8's track record of disciplined capital markets execution, including $7.5 billion of fully amortizing, non-recourse investment-grade project financing to fund development and construction at its River Bend and Beacon Point AI data center campuses.

Facility Highlights

• Provides immediate access to non-dilutive capital: The Facility provides committed capital at a drawn margin ranging from SOFR plus 150 to 200 basis points based on the Company's consolidated total debt-to-market-capitalization ratio, with an initial margin of SOFR plus 175 basis points at closing. Subject to customary conditions, borrowings can be drawn as needed and repaid without prepayment penalties.
• Preserves financing flexibility: Committed liquidity for interim working capital needs allows Hut 8 to optimize the timing and structure of long-term financing.
• Improves capital efficiency across the project lifecycle: The Facility's $1.07 billion letter-of-credit sublimit supports collateral requirements associated with site development, including interconnection deposits and obligations to utilities and equipment vendors, reducing the need to post cash collateral.

Sean Glennan, CFO of Hut 8, said: "We are building a capital structure designed to scale with the business while giving us control over when, where, and how we deploy capital, flexibility that matters given the speed and capital intensity of AI infrastructure development. This Facility adds more than $1 billion of committed, non-dilutive bank liquidity at the parent level, giving us the ability to fund projects through development while we determine the optimal timing and structure for long-term, non-recourse financing as they de-risk. That approach helps us optimize our cost of capital, limit dilution, and continue building toward an investment-grade corporate profile."

J.P. Morgan acted as Lead Left Arranger and Bookrunner and serves as Administrative Agent. Citi, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley served as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners. The Facility was provided by a syndicate of 12 lenders.
