- Its plan to secure $27 million in partnership with an investor through a shares subscription also fell through in October.
- The Bitcoin miner was then reported to be in advanced negotiations with a third party to sell some of its assets and conduct an equipment financing transaction to boost its balance sheet and enhance liquidity, as per a filing with the London Stock Exchange.
- However, Argo had expressed hopes to execute a deal without filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy while adding that “there is no assurance that the company can avoid such a filing.”
- McDermott Will & Emery LLP are acting as legal advisers, while Berkeley Research Group was appointed as the embattled company’s financial adviser.
