[Bitcoin Mining Firm MARA Initiates Consent Solicitation for Long Ridge's $600 Million Notes to Advance Asset Acquisition] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining firm MARA Holdings has initiated a consent solicitation process for the $600 million senior secured notes (maturing in 2032) of Long Ridge Energy to amend the relevant covenant terms. On April 29, MARA had signed an agreement to acquire 100% equity of Long Ridge's parent company. This transaction would trigger the 'change of control' clause in the notes, theoretically requiring a cash repurchase of all outstanding notes at 101% of their value. MARA is now seeking noteholders' consent to exclude this transaction from the definition of 'change of control' and to designate MARA and its affiliates as 'permitted holders.' (Globenewswire)
