Iren Ltd., a data center provider catering to artificial intelligence and high-performance computing needs, is pursuing substantial funding. The company announced its intention to raise $2 billion by issuing two separate convertible bonds, one maturing in 2032 and the other in 2033. These offerings are crucial for the firm's expansion in the burgeoning neocloud sector.
Alongside the bond issues, Iren is also engaging in a private share offering. This move is complemented by an effort to repurchase some of its outstanding convertible bonds that are due in 2029 and 2030. The capital raised is designated for various corporate purposes, including the funding of capped call transactions.
Financial giants Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase are reportedly managing these complex financial maneuvers. Iren's strategic fundraising highlights the intense demand for specialized AI infrastructure, as demonstrated by similar large-scale capacity deals in the market.
