Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) boosts Series G funding and raises floor price

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Applied Digital Corporation entered into a first amendment to its preferred equity purchase agreement to expand financing for its Polaris Forge I data center in North Dakota. The change increases the aggregate commitment for its Series G Convertible Preferred Stock from $150 million to $300 million and removes a prior $75 million cap on any single put issuance, giving the company more flexibility in how much preferred equity it can draw at one time.

The company also amended the Series G certificate of designations to raise the initial conversion floor price to $12.50 from $4.25 and to increase the minimum level to which that floor price can be reduced to $4.33 from $1.34. The floor price sets the minimum level for converting the Series G preferred into common stock, which can only be lowered if the company chooses to do so.

Insights

Capital structure and financing analyst

Applied Digital doubles preferred funding capacity and raises conversion floors.

Applied Digital amended its preferred equity purchase agreement to increase the aggregate commitment for Series G Convertible Preferred Stock from $150 million to $300 million. It also removed the previous $75 million limit on the purchase price of any single put issuance, which permits larger individual capital draws tied to the Series G instrument to support construction of the Polaris Forge I data center.

Separately, the company amended the Series G certificate of designations to raise the initial conversion floor price to $12.50 from $4.25, and to increase the minimum level to which that floor can be reduced to $4.33 from $1.34. The floor price defines the minimum share price at which preferred shares convert into common stock, and the company retains discretion over any future reductions.

These changes combine greater potential funding capacity with higher minimum conversion price constraints as of August 14, 2025. Future company disclosures may provide additional detail on how much of the expanded commitment is ultimately utilized and how the amended floor mechanics interact with any subsequent capital draws.
