Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On May 29, 2025, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (the “Company”)
completed its previously announced transactions involving the entry into subscription agreements for the issuance of 55,857,181 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price per share of $25.72 and gross proceeds of approximately $1.44 billion (the “PIPE
Financing”) and $1.0 billion in 0.00% convertible senior secured notes due 2028 (such notes, the “Notes,” and such offering, the “Debt Financing”).
Indenture
On May 29, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), in connection with
the closing of the Debt Financing, the Company entered into an indenture, dated May 29, 2025, by and among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto from time to time, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and Collateral agent
(the “Indenture”) with respect to the Notes.
The Notes will mature on May 29, 2028, unless earlier repurchased or converted. Each Note holder (a “Holder”) has the right, at its option, to require the Company to repurchase its Notes for cash on November 30, 2026, subject to the terms and conditions in the Indenture and are convertible, as
described below.
The Notes will not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the Notes will not accrete; provided, however, Additional Interest (as defined in
the Indenture), if any, will accrue on the Notes to the extent, and only to the extent, (A) the Company has not satisfied reporting conditions set forth in Securities Act Rule 144(c) or (i)(2) or (B) such Note is not otherwise Freely Tradeable (as
defined in the Indenture). Additional Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Security
Within 45 days of closing, the Company will be required to have a Loan-to-Collateral Ratio of less than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0, with the
Loan-to-Collateral Ratio calculated as the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Notes divided by the sum of (i) the aggregate market value of Bitcoin collateral multiplied by 0.5263157895, plus (ii) the aggregate value of all of the
Company’s cash and cash equivalents collateral. Within 45 days after the Closing Date, the Company is required to deliver to the Collateral Agent the collateral Bitcoin, cash and cash equivalents. Portions of the collateral will be released when the
outstanding aggregate principal balance of all Notes is at $500,000,000 or less, and an additional portion will be released when the outstanding aggregate principal balance of all Notes is $250,000,000 or less.
Offer to Repurchase
If a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, each Holder may require the Company to repurchase that Holder’s Notes on a business day
of the Company’s choosing that is no more than 70 nor less than 40 business days after the date the Company sends notices of the Fundamental Change pursuant to the Indenture. On November 30, 2026 (the “Repurchase Date”), each Holder also may, at its option, require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of such Holder’s Notes for cash that is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount, at
a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date.
Conversion of the Notes
Each Holder may, at its option, convert such Holder’s Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value 0.0001 per share, the (“Common Stock”) at the conversion price of $34.72 per share (a premium of approximately 135% of the most recent closing market price of the Company’s Common Stock
as of May 27, 2025). The Company also retains the right of force conversion if, at any time following the date that is six months after the issue date of the Notes, (A) the last reported sale price of the Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion
price for any of 20 consecutive trading days during a 30-day trading period. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain
circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.
Certain Covenants
The Indenture contains covenants that (i) require the Company to provide the Trustee copies of all reports the Company is required to file or furnish
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within 15 calendar days after the date the Company is required to file or furnish the same; (ii) require the Company to maintain its corporate
existence; (iii) require the Company to deliver Compliance and Default Certificates to the Trustee; (iv) limit the ability of the Company to take the benefit or advantage of stay, extension and usury laws; (v) require the Company to adhere to
collateral coverage requirements; (vi) limit the ability of the Company to incur liens; (vii) limit the Company’s ability to dispose of, sell or transfer collateral; and (viii) limit the ability of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries to incur
or guarantee additional indebtedness.
If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then, subject to a limited exception,
noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase
date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s Common Stock.
