In connection with the underwritten public offering, SHI expects to grant the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock offered in the public offering at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any. Both offerings are subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the offerings may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offerings.
SHI intends to use the net proceeds from both offerings for the acquisition, development and growth of data centers, including cryptocurrency mining processors, other computer processing equipment, data storage, electrical infrastructure, software and real property, and business, and for working capital and general corporate purposes, which include, but are not limited to, operating expenses.
Univest Securities, LLC is acting as the sole book-running manager for the underwritten public offering. The registered direct offering is being made without an underwriter, placement agent, broker, or dealer.
