The Total Offer Consideration for the Notes validly tendered prior to or at the applicable Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase is calculated using the Fixed Spread. 

(2)

Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase. 

The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated May 9, 2024, as amended by the Company’s press release dated May 9, 2024 (as amended and supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”). The Tender Offer comprises the Company’s offer to purchase for cash up to $2.7 billion combined aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which excludes, for the avoidance of doubt, accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date and excludes premiums, fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer) (the “Aggregate Maximum Amount”). The Company refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

The “Total Early Offer Consideration” listed in the table above per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes was determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 23, 2024. Only holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 22, 2024 (the “Early Tender Time”) are eligible to receive the Total Early Offer Consideration for Notes accepted for purchase. As previously announced, the Company has elected to exercise its right to make payment for the Notes that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time and that are accepted for purchase on May 24, 2024 (the “Early Settlement Date”). Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (“Accrued Interest”). Because the amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn exceeds the Aggregate Maximum Amount, any such tendered Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, subject to a proration factor of approximately 0.76954540. As described further in the Offer to Purchase, any Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the tendering holder’s account. Since the Tender Offer for the Notes is fully subscribed at the Early Tender Time, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time on a subsequent settlement date.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is serving as the Dealer Manager for the Tender Offer. Questions regarding the Tender Offer may be directed to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Liability Management Group at (800) 624-1808 (toll free) or (212) 761-1057 (collect). Global Bondholder Services Corporation is the information agent and tender agent for the Tender Offer and can be contacts at (toll-free) (855) 654-2015, (for banks and brokers) (212) 430-3774 or by email to contact@gbsc-usa.com. Questions regarding the tendering of Notes may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation by facsimile to (for Eligible Institutions only) (212) 430-3775/3779.

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes. The Tender Offer is made only by the Offer to Purchase and the information in this press release is qualified by reference to the Offer to Purchase. Neither Charter, the Company or its affiliates, their respective boards of directors, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent and Tender Agent or the trustees with respect to any Notes is making any recommendation as to whether holders should tender any Notes in response to the Tender Offer, and no one has been authorized to make any such recommendation. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

Ionic Digital Announces March 2026 Mining and Operations Update

Published

on

By

AUSTIN, Texas, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ionic Digital Inc. (“Ionic Digital” or the “Company”), a digital infrastructure company supporting the expanding needs of AI and high-performance computing, today issued its unaudited Mining and Operations Update for March 2026.

In March, Ionic Digital mined 28.05 Bitcoin (“BTC”), a decrease of 14.9% compared to the prior month. The Company’s site production varied in line with strategic adjustments, following fleet consolidation.

The decline in production was driven by a 19.4% decrease in average hashrate and a 6.8% reduction in network block production, partially offset by a 3.3% decline in the global hashrate. Ionic’s share of the global hashrate declined 16.6% month-over-month to 0.21%, reflecting a sharper reduction in company output relative to the total network.

At our four Midland sites, production was 24.26 BTC, a 4.7% month-over-month increase, as the most efficient miners from the Oklahoma GXD facility came online at Midland. At GXD, production was 3.79 BTC, a planned decrease of 61.2% month-over-month due to continued de-racking and reduced operational contribution.

The daily average hashrate was 2.04 EH/s, down 19.4% compared to the prior month, due to the discontinuation of the GXD hosting contract and removal of miners (-62.5%), while Midland remained relatively stable (-1.2%).

Ionic Digital continues to maintain its zero-debt position and liquidated no BTC in March. As of March 31, 2026, the Company held 2,815.6 BTC, an increase of approximately 28.2 BTC over the prior month.
