NEW YORK, April 9, 2024 /CNW/ - Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSX: GLXY) ("Galaxy" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has agreed to increase the size of its previously announced bought deal financing with Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Underwriter"). The Underwriter has agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, an additional 2,350,000 ordinary shares of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") at a price of C$14.00 per Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price"). As a result of the upsize, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares purchase by the Underwriter shall be 12,100,000 Ordinary Shares, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of C$169,400,000 (or approximately US$125 million equivalent) (the "Offering").

The Underwriter's option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares from certain Selling Shareholders at the Offering Price, to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market-stabilizations purposes, has been upsized to 1,815,000 Ordinary Shares (the "Over-Allotment Option").

The Offering is expected to close on or about April 12, 2024, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including receiving all necessary regulatory approvals.

The Offering will be made by way of a prospectus supplement to the Company's short form base shelf prospectus dated March 26, 2024 in all of the provinces and territories of Canada (other than Quebec) (the "Prospectus Supplement") and may be offered in the United States to persons who are both "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in Rule 144A as promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") and "qualified purchasers" (as defined in Section 2(a)(51) for purposes of Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules promulgated thereunder) and in certain jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States provided that no prospectus, registration statement or similar document is required to be filed in such jurisdiction.

The net proceeds of the Offering to the Company will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Ordinary Shares in connection with the Over-Allotment-Option.

The securities under the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act), except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
