MARA Holdings, Inc.

Item Entry 1.01. Into a Material Definitive Agreement. On August 11, 2025, MARA Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and Mara France SAS, a French société par actions simplifiée and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Mara France”), entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Exaion SAS, a French société par actions simplifiée operating in the digital infrastructure sector (“Exaion”), and EDF Pulse Holding and certain minority holders of Exaion (collectively, the “Sellers”), relating to Mara France’s acquisition of ordinary shares from the Sellers and its subscription for ordinary shares to be issued by Exaion. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement, Mara France will (i) subscribe for and purchase an aggregate of approximately 4.1 million ordinary shares to be issued and sold by Exaion at an aggregate purchase price of approximately €115 million (the “Primary Transaction”) and (ii) acquire an aggregate of approximately 1.2 million ordinary shares from the Sellers at an aggregate purchase price of approximately €33 million, payable in two tranches (the “Secondary Transaction”): (x) approximately €23 million payable at the Closing (as defined herein) and (y) €10 million payable in 2027, subject to Exaion’s fulfillment of certain conditions. Subject to mutual agreement between the parties, Mara France may elect to contribute, in whole or in part, certain assets as partial consideration for its subscription in connection with the Primary Transaction, in lieu of cash. Upon completion of the Primary Transaction and the first payment under the Secondary Transaction (the “Closing”), Mara France will hold approximately 64% of the share capital of Exaion. Subject to the satisfaction of certain specified conditions in the Investment Agreement, Mara France will subscribe for and purchase an aggregate of approximately 3.9 million additional ordinary shares to be issued and sold by Exaion at an aggregate purchase price of approximately €110 million (the “Third Transaction” and, together with the Primary Transaction and the Secondary Transaction, the “Transaction”) on March 30, 2027. Upon completion of the Third Transaction, Mara France is expected to hold approximately 75% of the share capital of Exaion. The completion of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining foreign investment control clearances from the relevant authorities in France and Canada (the “Regulatory Approvals”). The Investment Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties subject to customary materiality qualifiers. Additionally, the Investment Agreement provides for customary pre-closing covenants of the Sellers and Exaion, including a covenant of the Sellers to cause Exaion and its subsidiaries to conduct its business in the ordinary course, and covenants of each of the Sellers and Exaion to refrain from taking certain actions without Mara France’s consent. The Investment Agreement contains certain indemnification obligations of Exaion and the Sellers for certain specified matters, subject to certain limitations. The Investment Agreement also provides for customary termination rights for the parties. In addition, Mara France or any of the Sellers may terminate the Investment Agreement if the Regulatory Approvals have not been obtained by January 31, 2026. The Transaction is not subject to a financing condition. The Closing is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025; however, if necessary to satisfy remaining closing conditions, the Closing may occur in the first quarter of 2026. The foregoing description of the Investment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Investment Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated herein by reference. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Investment Agreement described above were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of the specified dates set forth therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Investment Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by those parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between those parties instead of establishing particular matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on these representations, warranties or covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the agreement containing them, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
