Company Update: We’re pleased to announce that Argo Blockchain has fully repaid the remaining balance of its $35 million loan from Galaxy Digital Holdings, ahead of schedule. This early repayment marks a significant milestone in Argo’s efforts to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce financial liabilities. Key details include: 🔸The $35 million loan was initiated in December 2022, with repayments starting in May 2023. 🔸Interest expense was reduced from $4.6 million in 2023 to $1.4 million by 9 August 2024. Our Chief Executive Officer, Thomas C., said: "Repaying the Galaxy loan is a significant milestone for Argo. Repayment was made possible by using cash flow generated from operations, cash generated from equity raises, and cash generated through the sale of non-core assets without any meaningful impact to Argo's hash rate. Successfully repaying $35 million of high-interest rate debt ahead of schedule is a testament to Argo's financial discipline. We remain committed to optimising our capital structure and driving long-term value for our shareholders." Full RNS: https://bit.ly/4bvU7mE
