NEW
YORK, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Voyager
Digital Ltd. ("Voyager" or the "Company") (TSX: VOYG) (OTCQX:
VYGVF) (FRA: UCD2) today announced that its operating subsidiary,
Voyager Digital LLC, has issued a notice of default to Three
Arrows Capital ("3AC") for failure to make the required payments on
its previously disclosed loan of 15,250 BTC and $350 million USDC. Voyager intends to pursue
recovery from 3AC and is in discussions with the Company's advisors
as to legal remedies available.
The platform continues to operate and fulfill customer orders
and withdrawals. As of June 24, 2022,
Voyager had approximately US$137
million cash and owned crypto assets on hand. The Company
also has access to the previously announced US$200 million cash and USDC revolver and a
15,000 BTC revolver from Alameda Ventures Ltd.
The Company has accessed US$75
million of the line of credit made available by Alameda and may continue to make use of the
Alameda facilities to facilitate
customer orders and withdrawals, as needed. The default of 3AC does
not cause a default in the agreement with Alameda.
"We are working diligently and expeditiously to strengthen our
balance sheet and pursuing options so we can continue to meet
customer liquidity demands," said Stephen
Ehrlich, Chief Executive Officer of Voyager.
As part of this process, the Company has engaged Moelis &
Company as financial advisors.

no assurance that Voyager will satisfy the conditions required in
order to drawdown under the credit facility. It is uncertain what
