• HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ / TSX-V: $HIVE) announced on April 22 the completion of a $115 million private placement of 0% convertible preferred notes (including full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option), with the notes maturing in 2031 and estimated net proceeds of approximately $109.5 million; the initial conversion price of the notes is about $2.57 per share, representing a premium of approximately 17.5% over the closing price on April 16, while implementing capped call options to hedge against dilution risk.
