Quantum Corporation Raises $100M to Repay Debt
Quantum Corporation announced three concurrent transactions that together are expected to significantly strengthen the Company's balance sheet and provide capital for growth. First, the Company has entered into securities purchase agreements to sell shares of common stock in a private placement, which was led by funds managed by Two Seas Capital and Oaktree Capital Management, with participation from several other institutional investors, generating gross proceeds of $100M. Second, the Company intends to repay all of its outstanding term debt with a portion of the proceeds of the private placement. Third, Dialectic Technology SPV LLC, as sole beneficial owner of the Company's Senior Secured Convertible Notes, has agreed to voluntarily convert the entire outstanding principal amount of those Convertible Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into shares of common stock. Together, these transactions are expected to significantly strengthen the Company's balance sheet, eliminate its debt obligations, and provide growth capital to capitalize on increasing demand for cost-efficient, long-term data storage in AI and enterprise environments. With respect to the private placement, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements dated June 1, 2026 to sell an aggregate of 10,615,712 shares of common stock at a price of $9.42 per share. The Company intends to use approximately $94.7M of the net proceeds from the private placement to repay all of its existing term debt, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. In order to facilitate the equity financing transaction, Dialectic, as sole beneficial owner of the Convertible Notes issued under the Indenture dated December 18, 2025, agreed to voluntarily convert the Convertible Notes into common stock of the Company. Pursuant to a conversion agreement dated June 1, 2026, Dialectic will convert the entire principal amount of the Convertible Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into shares of common stock concurrently with the closing of the equity financing transaction. As consideration for Dialectic's agreement to voluntarily convert its Convertible Notes, the Company agreed to issue additional shares of common stock by converting an amount equal to the present value of nominal PIK interest that would accrue on the Convertible Notes from the closing date of the proposed transactions to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, assuming the Convertible Notes had remained outstanding until the end of the stated term, discounted at a rate of 11%, plus the amount of deferred cash interest owed to Dialectic, applying the same conversion price under the Convertible Notes of $5.194 per share. It is anticipated that an aggregate of 14,104,620 shares of common stock will be issued to Dialectic as a result of the conversion of the Convertible Notes and the agreed upon consideration described above. As additional consideration for Dialectic's agreement to convert the Convertible Notes, the Company will issue to Dialectic at closing a warrant to purchase up to 105,911 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.194 per share
