The company plans to use proceeds to fund construction of 150 megawatts of critical IT load at the fourth building at its Polaris Forge 1 AI data center campus in Ellendale, North Dakota.

The notes will be guaranteed by APLD ComputeCo 3's subsidiaries, including APLD ELN-04 HoldCo LLC, APLD ELN-04 LLC and APLD ELN-04 LandCo LLC. The securities will be secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets of APLD ComputeCo 3 and the guarantors, plus equity interests held by parent company APLD HPC Holdings 2 LLC.

Applied Digital will provide a completion guarantee for the ELN-04 project, committing to fund APLD ComputeCo 3 as necessary to ensure timely project completion. The offering remains subject to market and other conditions.

The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and will only be offered to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and non-U.S. persons under Regulation S.
