Figma Shares Indicated To Open $105/$110
Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (NASDAQ:GRYP), a company with a market capitalization of $14.92 million and currently showing weak financial health according to InvestingPro metrics, has altered its asset purchase agreement with Erikson National Energy Inc., focusing now on a subset of assets rather than the entirety initially agreed upon. The amendment, effective February 14, 2025, was announced following Gryphon’s due diligence, which led to the decision to acquire only the assets located in the Wildboy area of northeast British Columbia.
Previously, on December 9, 2024, Gryphon intended to purchase substantially all of Erikson’s natural gas and oil wells, facilities, and pipelines for CAD $2,000,000. This strategic decision comes as the company faces significant debt obligations, with a concerning current ratio of 0.06 and total debt of $19.27 million, as revealed by InvestingPro analysis. However, the new amendment—referred to as the Second Extension Agreement—permits Erikson to market and potentially sell any of its assets, including associated liabilities, to third parties.
The revised terms grant Gryphon the right to terminate the Amended Purchase Agreement unconditionally at any time if their due diligence is unsatisfactory. The Second Extension Agreement also extends the outside date to March 12, 2025, with the possibility of further extension upon mutual agreement. Meanwhile, Gryphon maintains information rights concerning the Wildboy area assets and will be kept informed of any third-party interest or offers for these assets.
This strategic shift allows Gryphon to focus on specific assets that align with its business interests while providing Erikson the flexibility to engage with other potential buyers. The details of the Second Extension Agreement were disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
