Argo区块链以$ 2170万美元的宝石采矿资产获取为两倍

拟议的交易包括以高达2170万美元的Argo股票收购Gem Mining的资产，以及从GEM的机构投资者那里进行的1000万美元投资。

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.

公开上市的伦敦和华尔街比特币（BTC）矿工Argo区块链（LSE：ARB）宣布已进入非约束性术语表，以从Gem Mining中获取资产并获得额外的融资，这一举动可能会增加其采矿能力的一倍。

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.

拟议的交易涉及以高达2170万美元的Argo股份收购Gem Mining的资产，以及从GEM的机构投资者那里进行的1000万美元投资。如果完成，该交易将为Argo的业务增加2.4个矿业能力，从而大大提高了其比特币生产能力。

"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董事会董事长Matthew Shaw说：“我们认为，这项交易代表了Argo迈向盈利的重要一步，并加强了我们的资本结构。” “ Argo和Gem团队正在协作工作，以完成尽职调查并确定确定的文档。”

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.

通过发行新的Argo普通股，将满足资产的收购，并根据次年的Hashrate绩效，最初考虑的1,170万美元以及最高1000万美元的一项考虑。根据截至2025年3月25日的20天体积加权平均价格，初始考虑的股价定为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.

该交易的融资部分包括一张700万美元的可转换票据，年利率为8％和300万美元的股权投资。这两个要素的价格都将以Argo的收盘价折扣为25％。交易完成后，GEM有权任命两名董事为Argo董事会。
