Cipher Digital Inc. Announces Pricing of $810.0 Million of Senior Secured Notes

NEW YORK, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cipher Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: CIFR) (“Cipher” or the “Company”) a leading developer, owner, and operator of industrial-scale data centers, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stingray Compute LLC (the “Issuer”), has priced a $810.0 million offering of 6.000% senior secured notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) at a price equal to 99.750% of their principal amount. The Notes will be sold 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”) and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The offering is expected to close on June 15, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to (1) finance the remaining cost of the data center (the “Stingray Facility”), (2) reimburse the Company for approximately $61.5 million of prior equity contributions to Cipher Stingray LLC (“Cipher Stingray”), a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Issuer, used to fund capital expenditures relating to the Stingray Facility and (3) fund debt service reserves.

The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Cipher Stingray (the “Guarantor”). The Notes and related note guarantee will be secured by first-priority liens on (i) substantially all assets of the Issuer and the Guarantor, other than certain excluded property and (ii) all equity interests of the Issuer held by Cipher Stingray Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the direct parent company of the Issuer.

Cipher will provide a customary completion guarantee with respect to the Stingray Facility, under which it will fund the Issuer as necessary to ensure the timely completion of the Stingray Facility in the event that the proceeds of the Notes are insufficient to do so.

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 have not been registered under the Securities Act or securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

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 an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
