WhiteFiber, Inc. Ordinary Shares, WYFI
The convertible notes will mature in 2032 and are being sold through a private placement exclusively to qualified institutional investors. Additionally, WhiteFiber has granted the initial buyers an option to purchase up to $37.5 million in additional notes beyond the primary offering amount.
These notes will represent senior unsecured debt instruments with semiannual interest payments. Upon conversion, the company retains the flexibility to settle obligations using cash, ordinary shares, or a combination of both methods.
Capital Deployment Strategy
The majority of funds raised will be directed toward expanding WhiteFiber’s data center footprint. This encompasses leasing or acquiring new facilities, covering construction expenses, securing energy service contracts, and procuring GPU servers to support its cloud computing operations.
Management also indicated potential deployment of capital toward strategic acquisitions, collaborative partnerships, and joint venture opportunities, alongside general corporate purposes. The company acknowledged that additional project financing, including construction lending facilities, will be necessary to fully realize its expansion objectives.
Critical terms such as the interest rate and conversion price will be determined when the offering is priced.
