Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 6, 2024, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, US Digital Mining and Hosting Oklahoma LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (“US Digital”), completed the previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of substantially all of the business assets of Tech Infrastructure JV I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and joint venture affiliate of Arthur Development Group, Inc. (“Seller”), including certain contracts, mining equipment and other tangible personal property, and certain rights of the Seller relating to the assets being purchased (collectively, the “Assets”), free and clear of any liens other than certain specified liabilities of the Seller that were assumed, pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into on November 14, 2024 by and among the Company, US Digital, and Seller. The total purchase price of approximately $7.3 million was paid as follows: (i) approximately $1.1 million was paid by the Company to Seller in cash at the closing; (ii) approximately $3.7 million was credited against outstanding loans made by the Company and its affiliates to Seller; and (iii) approximately $2.5 million is currently being held in escrow in order to ensure that Seller vacates the site, including by removing all of the miners that Seller hosts for its other clients.The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 18, 2024, and is, along with the description of the same contained in Item 1.01 of such Current Report on Form 8-K, incorporated herein by reference.

Further, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company took assignment of a Ground Lease and Use Agreement (the “Ground Lease”) which, as amended, provides for rent of $135,000 per year, subject to certain adjustments, and, among other things, provides the Company an option to purchase the land underlying the lease for a purchase price to include (i) the prepayment of rent owed through the remainder of the term of the Ground Lease, subject to certain adjustments, and (ii) a cash payment of $25,000 (the “Lease Option”). The Lease Option will begin on the earlier of (i) December 1, 2026, or (ii) the date that certain minimum usage thresholds have been met, and will have a duration of one year unless the Ground Lease is otherwise terminated. The Ground Lease is for a term that will expire in June 2029.

 

The foregoing description of the Ground Lease is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Ground Lease, including all amendments thereto, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information in Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference. The New Warrants were issued solely to an accredited investor in a private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The New Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

This report shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On December 9, 2024, LMFA issued a press release announcing its entry into the Warrant Exercise Agreement and a press release announcing the closing of the Acquisition, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

The disclosure in this Item 7.01 (including the exhibit) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent, if any, expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As a result of the completion of the Acquisition, the total aggregate amount of loans made by the Company to Seller that were outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition (with a balance of $3.8 million) were paid in full as a credit toward the purchase price of the Acquisition, and no amounts remain outstanding under such loans.

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after

---

giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder, including any member of a Section 13(d) group in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to

---

the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Holder of Common Stock Purchase Warrants

Re: Reload Offer of Common Stock Purchase Warrants

To Whom It May Concern:

LM Funding America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is pleased to offer to you the opportunity to receive new purchase warrants of the Company in consideration for the full exercise of certain purchase warrants currently held by you (the “Holder”) as set forth on Annex A hereto (the “Existing Warrants”). The common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), underlying the Existing Warrants issued on August 19, 2024 (the “Existing Warrant Shares”) have been registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282023) (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement is currently effective and, upon exercise of the Existing Warrants, will be effective for the issuance of the Existing Warrant Shares. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Existing Warrants.

In consideration for cash exercising all of the Existing Warrants held by Holder (the “Warrant Exercise”) on or before 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on December 9, 2024 (the “Modified Exercise Price Term”), the Company hereby offers to issue to you or your designees a new Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “New Warrants”) to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 200% of the number of Existing Warrant Shares issued pursuant to each Warrant Exercise that occurs solely during the Modified Exercise Price Term, which New Warrants shall be in the form set forth on Annex C hereto. The New Warrants will be exercisable at any time after the date of this letter agreement, have a term of exercise of five (5) years after the date of this letter agreement, and have an exercise price equal to $2.95 (the Nasdaq Minimum Price (as defined in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)) at the time of exercise), and will be in the form set forth on Annex C hereto. The original New Warrant certificates will be delivered within five (5) Business Days following each Warrant Exercise pursuant to this letter agreement (or a pdf copy of such New Warrant certificates maybe delivered to you by email). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Warrant Exercise would otherwise cause the Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 2(e) of the Existing Warrants, as amended by this letter agreement, the Company shall only issue such number of Existing Warrant Shares to the Holder that would not cause the Holder to exceed the maximum number of Existing Warrant Shares permitted thereunder with the balance to be held in abeyance until notice from the Holder that the balance (or portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such limitations, which abeyance shall be evidenced through the Existing Warrant which shall be deemed prepaid thereafter, and exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exercise in the Existing Warrant (provided no additional exercise price shall be payable).

The Holder may accept this offer by signing this letter below, with such acceptance constituting the Holder’s deemed exercise of the number of Existing Warrants as set forth on the Holder’s signature page attached hereto for an aggregate exercise price as set forth on the Holder’s signature page hereto (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”), and delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price in readily available funds to the Company on or before 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on December 9, 2024.

 

Additionally, the Company agrees to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth on Annex A attached hereto. The Holder represents and warrants (i) that, as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any New Warrants it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of the

---

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and agrees that the New Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants will contain restrictive legends when issued, and neither the New Warrants nor the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants will be registered under the Securities Act, except as provided in Annex B attached hereto, and (ii) that the New Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants will be acquired for such Holder’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act.

If this offer is accepted and this letter agreement is executed by Holder and delivered to the Company on or before 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on December 9, 2024, the Company shall issue a press release disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder (the “Press Release”) on or before 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on December 9, 2024. In addition, the Company shall timely file a Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder, including this letter agreement as an exhibit thereto. Upon the release of the Press Release, the Company represents to the Holder that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Holder by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, effective upon the release of the Press Release , the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and the Holder or any of its Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate.

The Company represents, warrants and covenants that, upon this letter agreement being executed by Holder and delivered to the Company on or before 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on December 9, 2024, all of the Existing Warrant Shares being exercised shall be delivered electronically through the Depository Trust Company within one (1) Trading Day of the date the Company receives the Aggregate Exercise Price (or, with respect to Common Stock that would otherwise be in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, within one (1) Business Day of the date the Company is notified by Holder that its ownership is less than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). Except as set forth herein, the terms of the Existing Warrants, including but not limited to the obligations to deliver the Existing Warrant Shares, shall remain in effect as if the acceptance of this offer was a formal exercise notice under the Existing Warrants.

The Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors.

The Holder acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the public filings made by the Company with the Commission and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and the merits and risks of investing in the Company’s securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall pay the reasonable legal fees of Pryor Cashman LLP, outside counsel for the placement agent, in an amount not to exceed $15,000 in the aggregate. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Existing Warrant Shares.

---

This letter agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

(iii) Certificates evidencing the New Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section (g)(ii) hereof), (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such New Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such New Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such New Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to its transfer agent (if required by the transfer agent) and the undersigned (if requested by the undersigned) in connection with the permitted removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a New Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the New Warrant Shares, or if such New Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such New Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such New Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section (g), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by the undersigned to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the undersigned a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section (g). Certificates for New Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to the undersigned by crediting the account of the undersigned’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the undersigned. “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend.

(iv) In addition to such undersigned’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the undersigned, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of New Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section (g)(iii), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date

---

until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the undersigned by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by such undersigned that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such undersigned purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such undersigned of all or any portion of the number of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such undersigned anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such undersigned’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of New Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such undersigned by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such undersigned to the Company of the applicable New Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).

(i) Listing of Common Stock. The Company shall apply to list or quote all of the New Warrant Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market and use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly secure the listing of all of the New Warrant Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

(j) Resale Registration Statement. As soon as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of this letter agreement), the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 providing for the resale by the Holder of the New Warrant Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants; provided that each Holder shall have furnished in writing to the Company such other information regarding itself, the securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such registrable securities. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to become effective on or prior to the 60th calendar day after the date of this letter agreement and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until the earlier of (i) Holder not owning any New Warrants or New Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof and (ii) the New Warrant Shares becoming eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed, delivered and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and reasonably acceptable to Holder, assuming that such securities and any securities issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of which, or as a dividend upon which, such securities were issued or are issuable, were at no time held by any affiliate of the Company, as reasonably determined by the Company, upon the advice of counsel to the Company.

(k) Subsequent Equity Sales.

(1) From the date hereof until sixty (60) days after the date of this letter agreement, neither the Company nor any subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue, or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, or (ii) file or amend any registration statement or prospectus, other than as necessary to register or maintain the registration of the Securities governed by this letter agreement.

 

(2) From the date hereof until six (6) months after the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate

---

Transaction. Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries which entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, but excluding in each case described in clauses (A) and (B), such formulations reflecting customary adjustment provisions (such as share splits, share combinations, share dividends and similar customary adjustments, or customary “full ratchet” or “weighted-average” price-based anti-dilution adjustments) or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market offering”, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price, regardless of whether shares pursuant to such agreement have actually been issued and regardless of whether such agreement is subsequently canceled. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, the Company shall be permitted to enter into and effect sales under an “at-the-market” offering facility with the Placement Agent. For clarity, if the Company in any manner issues or sells or enters into any agreement to issue or sell, any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at a fixed price (and in the case of options or convertible securities, the exercise price or conversion price is also set at a fixed price), which may include customary adjustments for share splits, share combinations, share dividends and similar customary adjustments, or customary “full ratchet” or “weighted-average” price-based anti-dilution adjustments) any such securities shall not be deemed to involve a Variable Rate Transaction for any purpose hereunder.

 

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as defined in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 16, 2024, between the Company and the Holder) , except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.

Exhibit 99.2

 

 

LM Funding America, Inc. Closes Purchase of 15MW Mining Site

Tampa, FL, December 9, 2024 – LM Funding America, Inc. (NASDAQ: LMFA) (“LM Funding” or the “Company”), a cryptocurrency mining and technology-based specialty finance company, today announced the acquisition of the business assets of a 15 MW mining site in Oklahoma from Tech Infrastructure JV I LLC (“JV”), a joint venture majority-owned by Arthur Inc., for $7.3 million.

“We are thrilled to have acquired this site with 60MW of mining potential through a series of financings to the JV,” said Bruce M. Rodgers, Chairman and CEO of LM Funding. “The financing terms allowed us to operate approximately 2,880 S19J Pros using $0.04/kwh power at the site since June 2024.This transaction is in furtherance of our previously disclosed transition from an “infrastructure light” mining model with minimal infrastructure investments to a vertically integrated mining model. We now may be able to potentially expand our mining operations at this site by an additional 60MW with power at this price or better.”

LM Funding initially financed the JV’s site development with loans and accrued interest totaling $3.8 million. At closing of the acquisition of the assets of the site, LM Funding applied this credit to the purchase price and paid approximately $1 million in cash to the JV. LM Funding escrowed an additional $2.5 million of the purchase price to ensure the continuing obligations of the JV under the purchase agreement, including the January 10, 2025, exit of a third-party miner using 5MW at the site. The land on which the mining facility is located is leased from a third-party under a 5-year ground lease, and as a part of the transaction, the Company acquired an option to purchase the underlying land from the third-party landlord. LM Funding expects to utilize the full 15MW of $0.04 power for its current mining fleet.

“We have enjoyed working with our counterparties on this transaction and were able to monitor the site's development as a tenant and secured creditor,” said Ryan Duran, President of LM Funding’s US Digital Mining & Hosting Co. subsidiary. “The company plans to continue collaboration with the existing management team at the site to maintain operational efficiency.”

“With the recently announced $5.1 million warrant exercise, the Company will be able to utilize these funds to purchase more efficient miners for this site and acquire other mining sites,” said Richard Russell, CFO of LM Funding.

In Q1 2025, LM Funding is expected to have 562 petahash combined mining capacity at the Oklahoma site, which is in addition to a hosted site with Core Scientific in Kentucky.
