Applied Digital Corporation has announced a significant financial move with the pricing of a $2.35 billion offering of 9.250% senior secured notes due in 2030. This offering, conducted through its subsidiary APLD ComputeCo LLC, is aimed at institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The proceeds from this offering are earmarked for the construction and associated expenses of two major data centers, ELN-02 and ELN-03, at the company’s 400 MW Ellendale, North Dakota campus, known as Polaris Forge 1. Additionally, funds will be used to repay existing debts and cover transaction expenses.

The notes are secured by first-priority liens on assets of APLD Compute and its subsidiaries, and Applied Digital has committed to providing completion guarantees for the facilities.

The offering is expected to close by November 20, 2025, subject to market conditions. This development is pivotal for Applied Digital as it strengthens its infrastructure and positions itself for future growth in the rapidly evolving data center market.
