Quantum to Eliminate All Debt with Combination of Debt Payoff and Conversion

Three concurrent transactions improve liquidity, significantly strengthening the Company's balance sheet and providing capital to invest in growth

Quantum Corporation (NASDAQ:QMCO) today 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 LP and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., with participation from several other institutional investors, generating gross proceeds of $100.0 million. 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 $94.7 million of the net proceeds from the private placement to repay all of its existing term debt, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The private placement provides Quantum with greater financial flexibility to support ongoing operations and invest in growth initiatives. The Company also plans to commission a report by a third party technology consulting firm on the importance of magnetic tape to HPC data centers.
