On

MARA
Holdings, Inc. Announces Proposed Private Offering of $700 Million of Zero-Coupon Convertible Senior Notes
Proceeds
to be used primarily to acquire bitcoin and repurchase existing convertible notes due 2026
Fort
Lauderdale, FL, December 2, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)—MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA) (“MARA” or the “Company”),
a global leader in leveraging digital asset compute to support the energy transformation, today announced that it intends to offer, subject
to market conditions and other factors, $700 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “notes”)
in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). MARA also expects to grant to the initial purchasers of the notes an option
to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $105
million aggregate principal amount of the notes. The offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance
as to whether, when or on what terms the offering may be completed.
The
notes will be unsecured, senior obligations of MARA. The notes are not expected to bear interest (other than special interest in limited
circumstances) and the principal amount of the notes is not expected to accrete. Special interest, if any, on the notes will be payable
semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2025 (if and to the extent that special interest
is then payable on the notes). The notes will mature on June 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance
with their terms. Subject to certain conditions, on or after June 5, 2029, MARA may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes.
If MARA redeems fewer than all the outstanding notes, at least $75 million aggregate principal amount of notes must be outstanding and
not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date. Holders of the notes will have the right to require MARA to repurchase
for cash all or any portion of their notes on June 4, 2027 and on June 4, 2029. The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of MARA’s
common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of MARA’s common stock, at MARA’s election. Prior to March 1, 2031, the
notes will be convertible only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the
close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The interest rate, initial conversion
rate, and other terms of the notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering. MARA expects that the reference price used
to calculate the initial conversion price for the notes will be the U.S. composite volume weighted average price of MARA’s common
stock from 2:00 p.m. through 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the date of pricing.
MARA
expects to use up to $50 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to repurchase a portion of its existing convertible notes
due 2026 (the “existing 2026 convertible notes”) in privately negotiated transactions with the remainder of the net proceeds
to be used to acquire additional bitcoin and for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, strategic acquisitions,
expansion of existing assets, and repayment of additional debt and other outstanding obligations.
In
connection with any repurchase of the existing 2026 convertible notes, MARA expects that holders of the existing 2026 convertible notes
who agree to have their notes repurchased and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such notes (the “hedged holders”)
will unwind all or part of their hedge positions by buying MARA’s common stock and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative
transactions with respect to MARA’s common stock. The amount of MARA’s common stock to be purchased by the hedged holders
or in connection with such derivative transactions may be substantial in relation to the historic average daily trading volume of MARA’s
common stock. This activity by the hedged holders could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of MARA’s
common stock, including concurrently with the pricing of the notes, resulting in a higher effective conversion price of the notes. MARA
cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the notes or MARA’s common
stock.
The
notes will be offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities
Act. The offer and sale of the notes and the shares of MARA’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, if any, have
not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and the notes and any
such shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
Any offer of the notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
This
press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, the notes, nor shall there be any sale of
the notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of any such
state or jurisdiction. Nothing in this press release shall be deemed an offer to purchase MARA’s existing 2026 convertible notes.
