Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

As previously disclosed, on December 20, 2022, Soluna MC Borrowing 2021-1 LLC (“Borrower”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Soluna Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), received a Notice of Acceleration and Repossession (the “NYDIG Notice”) from NYDIG ABL LLC (“NYDIG”) with respect to the Master Equipment Finance Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2021 (the “MEFA”), by and between Borrower and NYDIG. The assets which secure the MEFA represent substantially all of the Company’s mining assets at the site and certain of the operating assets of Project Marie, a 20 MW facility located in Kentucky. The obligations of Borrower under the MEFA and reflected in the NYDIG Notice are ring-fenced to Borrower and its direct parent company, Soluna MC LLC. The Company is not a party to any guaranty, collateral agreement or other support agreement with or for the benefit of NYDIG. The approximate aggregate principal and interest outstanding under the MEFA as of December 20, 2022, were $11,651,333. According to NYDIG’s analysis of the value of the equipment, NYDIG asserts a recent market value of this equipment at approximately $3.8 million.

 

On February 23, 2023, NYDIG proceeded to foreclose on all of the collateral securing the MEFA, which resulted in a reportable disposition of all of the Company’s mining assets at the site and certain of the operating assets of Project Marie, As a result of this action and certain other characteristics of the facility and the current economic arrangement with the landlord, the Company has elected to shut down the Marie facility. The Company believes it will maximize its profits and return on assets by concentrating its personnel and capital on its Dorothy Facility which is expected to be imminently energized.

 

In a related development, also on February 23, 2023, the Borrower received a notice of termination of the Management and Hosting Services Agreement with CC Metals and Alloys, LLC.

 

The Company is exploring the filing of a petition for the Borrower, under Section 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which would likely have the effect of extinguishing the approximately $12 million of debt related to Project Marie carried on the Company’s balance sheet, for which it is not liable.
