Argo區塊鏈以$ 2170萬美元的寶石採礦資產獲取為兩倍

擬議的交易包括以高達2170萬美元的Argo股票收購Gem Mining的資產，以及從GEM的機構投資者那裡進行的1000萬美元投資。

Publicly listed London and Wall Street Bitcoin (BTC) miner Argo Blockchain (LSE: ARB) announced that it has entered into non-binding term sheets to acquire assets from GEM Mining and secure additional financing, a move that could potentially double its mining capacity.

公開上市的倫敦和華爾街比特幣（BTC）礦工Argo區塊鏈（LSE：ARB）宣布已進入非約束性術語表，以從Gem Mining中獲取資產並獲得額外的融資，這一舉動可能會增加其採礦能力的一倍。

The proposed transaction involves the acquisition of GEM Mining's assets for up to $21.7 million in Argo shares, as well as a $10 million investment from GEM's institutional investors. If completed, the deal would add 2.4 exahash of mining power to Argo's operations, significantly boosting its Bitcoin production capabilities.

擬議的交易涉及以高達2170萬美元的Argo股份收購Gem Mining的資產，以及從GEM的機構投資者那裡進行的1000萬美元投資。如果完成，該交易將為Argo的業務增加2.4個礦業能力，從而大大提高了其比特幣生產能力。

"We believe this transaction represents a significant step toward profitable growth for Argo and strengthens our capital structure," said Matthew Shaw, Chairman of Argo's Board. "The Argo and Gem teams are working collaboratively to complete due diligence and finalize definitive documentation."

Argo董事會董事長Matthew Shaw說：“我們認為，這項交易代表了Argo邁向盈利的重要一步，並加強了我們的資本結構。” “ Argo和Gem團隊正在協作工作，以完成盡職調查並確定確定的文檔。”

The asset acquisition would be satisfied through the issuance of new Argo ordinary shares, with an initial consideration of $11.7 million and up to $10 million in contingent consideration based on hashrate performance over the following year. The share price for the initial consideration is set at 3.4 pence, based on the 20-day volume-weighted average price as of March 25, 2025.

通過發行新的Argo普通股，將滿足資產的收購，並根據次年的Hashrate績效，最初考慮的1,170萬美元以及最高1000萬美元的一項考慮。根據截至2025年3月25日的20天體積加權平均價格，初始考慮的股價定為3.4便士。

The financing component of the deal includes a $7 million secured convertible note with an 8% annual interest rate and a $3 million equity investment. Both elements would be priced at a 25% discount to Argo's closing share price. Upon completion of the transaction, GEM would be entitled to appoint two directors to Argo's board.

該交易的融資部分包括一張700萬美元的可轉換票據，年利率為8％和300萬美元的股權投資。這兩個要素的定價都將以Argo的收盤價折扣為25％。交易完成後，GEM有權任命兩名董事為Argo董事會。
