MARA Initiates Consent Solicitation for $600 Million Notes from Long Ridge to Advance Asset Acquisition
On May 10, MARA Holdings, a Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining company, initiated a consent solicitation process for holders of $600 million in senior secured notes from Long Ridge Energy to amend certain covenant terms. MARA had previously signed an agreement on April 29 to acquire 100% of the parent company of Long Ridge. Since this transaction would trigger the ‘change of control’ clause in the notes, it theoretically requires a cash buyback of all outstanding notes at 101% of their price. MARA is seeking the consent of noteholders to exclude this transaction from the definition of ‘change of control’ and to designate MARA and its affiliates as ‘permitted holders.’
