Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 24, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Hut 8 Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, each issuing bank and the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent.
The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,070.0 million outstanding at any time, including a $1,070.0 million letter of credit sublimit.
Loans under the Credit Agreement may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time until the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date. The proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes and working capital needs. As of the Closing Date, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (i) Adjusted Term SOFR (subject to a 0.00% floor) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%, or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.00%, in each case by reference to the Company’s Consolidated Total Debt to Market Capitalization Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Initially, the applicable margin will be 1.750% per annum for Term SOFR loans and 0.750% per annum for ABR loans.
The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries that are or become a loan party. The obligations under the Credit Agreement and the guarantees are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to certain exclusions.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that are typical for facilities and transactions of this type and nature, including, among other things, covenants that restrict the Company and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers and fundamental changes, engage in transactions with affiliates or dispose of assets. These covenants are subject to a number of qualifications and limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain minimum liquidity as of the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027 of not less than (i) prior to the Stabilization Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement), 40% of the aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement (without giving effect to any deduction for outstanding loans and outstanding letters of credit as of such date), or (ii) after the Stabilization Date, 25% of the aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement (without giving effect to any deduction for outstanding loans and outstanding letters of credit as of such date). The Credit Agreement also contains equity cure rights with respect to the minimum liquidity covenant, subject to certain terms and conditions.
The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to pay principal and interest, failure to comply with covenants, agreements or conditions, and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company and certain of its material subsidiaries.
The foregoing summary description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Credit Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
