Going for Binance. Yesterday, Voyager announced that the Company selected Binance.US as the highest and best bid for the Company’s assets. The decision came after a review of strategic options with the core objective of maximizing value returned to customers and creditors. Previously, the best bid was from FTX US, but due to its current bankruptcy, FTX was not able to proceed with the bid.

Additional Details. The bid from Binance.US was for $1.022 billion comprised of the fair market value of Voyager’s cryptocurrency portfolio at a to-be-determined date in the future, which at current market prices is estimated to be $1.002 billion, plus additional consideration equal to $20 million of incremental value. The previous winning bid, FTX US, was for $1.422 billion. A $10 million good faith deposit will be made by Binance.US and will reimburse Voyager for certain expenses up to $15 million.

Release – Voyager Announces Agreement for Binance.US to Acquire Its Assets

Research, News, and Market Data on VYGVQ

Dec 19, 2022, 08:00 ET

NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 2022 /CNW/ — Voyager Digital Ltd. (“Voyager” or the “Company”) (OTC Pink VYGVQ; FRA: UCD2) announced today that its operating company Voyager Digital LLC selected U.S. exchange BAM Trading Services Inc. (doing business as “Binance.US”) as the highest and best bid for its assets after a review of strategic options with the core objective of maximizing the value returned to customers and other creditors on an expedited timeframe.

Binance.US is headquartered in Palo Alto, CA, and is incorporated in Delaware. It is an independent legal entity and has a licensing agreement with Binance.com.

The Binance.US bid, which sets a clear path forward for Voyager customer funds to be unlocked as soon as possible, is valued at approximately $1.022 billion and is comprised of (i) the fair market value of Voyager’s cryptocurrency portfolio at a to-be-determined date in the future, which at current market prices is estimated to be $1.002 billion, plus (ii) additional consideration equal to $20 million of incremental value. The Company’s claims against Three Arrows Capital remain with the bankruptcy estate, and any future recovery on these and other non-released claims will be distributed to the estate’s creditors.

The Binance.US bid aims to return crypto to customers in kind, in accordance with court-approved disbursements and platform capabilities.

Binance.US will make a $10 million good faith deposit and will reimburse Voyager for certain expenses up to a maximum of $15 million. Should the deal not close by April 18, 2023 subject to a one-month extension, the agreement allows Voyager to immediately move to return value to customers.

Voyager Digital LLC will seek Bankruptcy Court approval to enter into the asset purchase agreement between Voyager Digital LLC and Binance.US at a hearing on January 5, 2023. The sale to Binance.US will be consummated pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan, which will be subject to a creditor vote and is subject to other customary closing conditions. Binance.US and the Company will work to close the transaction promptly following approval of the chapter 11 plan by the Bankruptcy Court.

This sale agreement follows Voyager’s July 5, 2022 entrance into a voluntary restructuring process aimed at returning maximum value to customers. Additional information about the timeline and customer access to crypto will be shared as it becomes available. A copy of the asset purchase agreement and other pleadings filed in this case may be obtained free of charge by visiting the Voyager case website https://cases.stretto.com/Voyager.

Voyager was advised by Kirkland & Ellis LLP, Moelis & Company LLC, and Berkeley Research Group. Binance.US was advised by Latham & Watkins LLP.

The Old Deal. Recall, back in October, the Bankruptcy Court approved Voyager’s entry into an asset purchase agreement between FTX US and Voyager. FTX US’s bid was valued at approximately $1.422 billion. Voyager’s claims against Three Arrows Capital would have remained with the bankruptcy estate and any recovery on account of the 3AC claims would have been available for additional distribution to Voyager creditors.

Auction Completed. Voyager announced the completion of the Company’s auction process. The Company has selected West Realm Shires Inc. (“FTX US”) as the highest and best bid for its assets. The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors supports FTX US’s winning bid.

The Winning Bid with a Caveat. FTX US’s winning bid for Voyager’s assets was for $1.422 billion, which comprises the fair market value of all Voyager cryptocurrency at a to-be-determined date in the future, which at current market prices is estimated to be $1.311 billion, and additional consideration that is estimated as providing approximately $111 million of incremental value. However, FTX US has the potential to be outbid over the next couple of weeks, as the objection deadline is the final day of allowing higher bids to be placed.
