***Our Business***

We are a U.S. designer, developer, and operator of high-performance, sustainably engineered data centers and colocation services for artificial intelligence ("AI"), networking, and blockchain workloads. Headquartered in Dallas, TX, and founded in 2021, the Company combines hyperscale expertise, proprietary waterless cooling, and rapid deployment capabilities to deliver secure, scalable compute at industry-leading speed and efficiency, while creating economic opportunities in underserved communities through its award-winning Polaris Forge AI Factory model. We operate in two distinct business segments, data center hosting (the "Data Center Hosting Business") and High-Performance Computing ("HPC") data center hosting (the "HPC Hosting Business"), as further discussed below.

During the fiscal year 2025, we determined that our cloud services business, which we operate through a wholly owned subsidiary (the "Cloud Services Business") met the criteria to be classified as "held for sale" on our consolidated balance sheets as the Board of Directors approved plans for the sale of the segment. The potential sale of the Cloud Services Business, which was previously included as a reportable segment, represents a strategic shift in our operations and financial results and as such, we have excluded the results of this business from both continuing operations and segment results and presented them in discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 30, 2025.

*Data Center Hosting Business*

Our Data Center Hosting Business provides energized infrastructure services to crypto mining customers. Our custom-designed data centers allow customers to rent space based on their power requirements.

We currently operate sites in Jamestown and Ellendale, North Dakota, with a total hosting capacity of approximately 286 MW.

*HPC Hosting Business*

Our HPC Hosting Business designs, constructs, and operates next-generation data centers, which are designed to provide massive computing power and support HPC applications within a cost-effective model.

We recently commenced operations at our first HPC data center at our Polaris Forge 1 campus in Ellendale, ND ("Polaris Forge 1") with 100MW of capacity ("ELN-02"). We continue building our second HPC data center at Polaris Forge 1 to provide an additional 150MW of capacity ("ELN-03"). These facilities are being designed and purpose-built to host high-density graphics processing unit ("GPU") architecture or other HPC applications, such as artificial intelligence, natural language processing, machine learning, and additional HPC developments. Our third HPC focused data center facility at Polaris Forge 1, which is expected to provide an additional 150MW of capacity, is currently under construction, with an anticipated ready for service date in 2027.

On May 28, 2025, APLD ELN-02 LLC and APLD ELN-03 LLC, our subsidiaries, each entered into a data center lease with CoreWeave, Inc. ("CoreWeave") to deliver an aggregate of 250 MW of infrastructure to host CoreWeave's HPC operations at Polaris Forge 1. The first lease is for the full capacity ofELN-02, and the second lease is for the full capacity of ELN-03. In addition, on August 28, 2025, APLD ELN-02 C LLC, our subsidiary, entered into a third data center lease with CoreWeave to deliver an additional 150 MW at Polaris Forge 1, bringing the total capacity under contract at Polaris Forge 1 to 400 MW. We have guaranteed the obligations of APLD ELN-02 LLC, APLD ELN-03 LLC and APLD ELN-02 C LLC under the respective data center lease to which such subsidiary is a party.

On August 18, 2025, we also announced breaking ground on our Polaris Forge 2 campus ("Polaris Forge 2"), a 280 MW data center near Harwood, North Dakota. The project has begun and we currently anticipate reaching initial capacity in 2026 and reaching full capacity in early 2027. On October 22, 2025, we announced that we entered into an approximately 15-year lease agreement with a U.S. based investment grade hyperscaler for 200 MW of critical IT load at our Polaris Forge 2 campus, as further discussed under "*—Recent Developments*" below.

We have already started generating revenue from this business segment, and anticipate that this business segment will begin generating meaningful revenue from the associated leases now that ELN-02 is operational.

**Discontinued Operations**

*Cloud Services Business*

The Cloud Services Business, which is operated through our wholly owned subsidiary, Applied Digital Cloud Corporation ("Applied Digital Cloud"), has locations in three states: Colorado, Minnesota and Utah. This business provides cloud services to customers, such as AI and machine learning developers by renting space at third party co-location centers and providing the customers with access to its cloud computing equipment.

**Recent Developments**

*Promissory Note*

On September 9, 2025, our subsidiary, APLD FAR-01 LLC (the "Borrower"), entered into a promissory note (the "Promissory Note") with Macquarie Equipment Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Lender"). The Promissory Note provides for a principal sum of (a) $50 million (the "Initial Loan"), which was drawn upon execution of the Promissory Note, plus (b) subject to the mutual consent of the Borrower and the Lender, additional loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25 million (the "Additional Loans" and together with the Initial Loan, the "Loan"). Proceeds of the Loan under the Promissory Note will be used, in part, to (i) pay transaction costs, (ii) pay transaction expenses in connection with the Note Documents (as defined therein), (iii) fund the purchase of the financed properties located on the Company's campus in Harwood, ND ("Polaris Forge 2"), including all associated closing costs, title fees, and legal expenses, (iv) finance improvements to the Polaris Forge 2 properties, (v) fund the purchase of the Transformers (as defined therein) and other equipment expected to be installed and used for the improvements of the Polaris Forge 2 properties, (vi) to pay any other costs, fees, expenses, or amounts related to or in connection with the development and construction of Polaris Forge 2, and (vii) for general corporate working capital purposes.

*Amended and Restated Unit Purchase Agreement*

As previously disclosed in our SEC filings, on January 13, 2025, APLD HPC Holdings LLC (formerly, APLD ELN-02 Holdings LLC), our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the "Unit Purchase Agreement" or "UPA") for its HPC Hosting Business with MIP VI HPC Holdings, LLC, which is an affiliate of funds and investment vehicles managed by entities within Macquarie Asset Management ("MAM"). On February 11, 2025, APLD HPC Holdings LLC novated and assigned its rights, title and interests and duties, liabilities and obligations under the UPA to APLD HPC TopCo LLC, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary ("TopCo 1"). On October 3, 2025, we, TopCo 1, APLD HPC TopCo 2 LLC ("APLD HPC TopCo 2"), and MIP HPC Holdings, LLC (formerly, MIP VI HPC Holdings, LLC) (the "Purchaser") entered into an Amended and Restated Unit Purchase Agreement (the "A&R UPA").

On October 6, 2025, all conditions to the Initial Closing (as defined in the A&R UPA) were satisfied and the Initial Closing occurred. At the Initial Closing, APLD HPC TopCo 2 sold to the Purchaser 112,500 Preferred Units in APLD HPC TopCo 2 at a price per Preferred Unit of $1,000, for an aggregate purchase price of $112.5 million, and for no additional consideration, APLD HPC TopCo 2 agreed to issue to the Purchaser such number of Common Units of APLD HPC TopCo 2 representing, in the aggregate, seven and a half percent (7.5%) of the fully diluted common equity of APLD HPC TopCo 2 as of immediately following the Initial Closing. MAM has the right to invest up to an additional $4.9 billion under the A&R UPA.

In addition, pursuant to the A&R UPA, on October 6, 2025, we issued to the designated affiliates of the Purchaser, the Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2.4 million shares of common stock. The Warrants will become exercisable upon the Purchaser funding the full $450 million in Polaris Forge 1. Also on October 6, 2025, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC this registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants within 60 days of the execution of the registration rights agreement

*Series G Preferred Stock*

On October 21, we entered into the fourth amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") to the PEPA, in order to increase our access to capital to fund the continued construction and development to our Polaris Forge 1 and Polaris Forge 2 data centers in Ellendale and Harwood, North Dakota. The Fourth Amendment amended the PEPA to, among other things (i) increase the aggregate commitment amount of the shares of the Series G Preferred Stock, from $590.0 million to $1.590 billion; (ii) subject to waiver by a majority-in-interest of the investors, (a) set the maximum put issuance amount to $75,000,000 per issuance, (b) set the limit to one put issuance per seven (7) business day period, and (c) set the maximum aggregate stated value of Series G Preferred Stock outstanding at any one time to $75,000,000; (iii) increase the original discount from 2% to 3%; (iv) eliminate the placement agent fee; and (v) eliminate the prohibition on Variable Rate Transactions (as defined in the PEPA).

In connection with the Fourth Amendment, on October 21, 2024, we filed an Amendment (the "Fifth CoD Amendment") to the Series G Certificate of Designation, as amended. The Fifth CoD Amendment amended the Series G Certificate of Designations to, among other things, (i) increase the authorized shares of Series G Preferred Stock from 204,000 shares to 1,030,000 shares, and (ii) increase the limit below which the Floor Price (as defined in Section 1.5(c)(ii) of the Certificate of Designations) may not be reduced from $4.33 to $4.48. In addition, under the Fifth CoD Amendment, the Company's Board of Directors may increase or decrease the applicable Floor Price with respect to any put, at its sole discretion.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have issued 77,250 shares of Series G Preferred Stock under the Fourth Amendment, for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $75 million, of which 34,000 have been converted into a total of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. 952,750 shares of Series G Preferred Stock remain available for future issuance pursuant to the Fourth Amendment.

*CoreWeave Warrant*

On July 24, 2025, CoreWeave, Inc. ("CoreWeave") exercised its option for an additional 150MW in our third building at Polaris Forge 1, which is currently in planning stages with an anticipated ready for service date in 2027. On August 28, 2025, we entered into a third lease agreement on substantially the same terms, including the same rent and escalators, as the existing two leases, with CoreWeave, bringing the total capacity leased by CoreWeave at Polaris Forge 1 to 400MW. Also on August 28, 2025, in connection with the third lease agreement, we issued CoreWeave a warrant (the "Additional CoreWeave Warrants") to acquire up to 8,393,611 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $10.75 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the warrant. In addition, we agreed to file a resale registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 28, 2025, between us and CoreWeave.

On October 31, 2025, CoreWeave assigned the Additional CoreWeave Warrants and its rights under the CoreWeave Registration Rights Agreement to Jane Street Global Trading, LLC.

*Polaris Forge 2 Lease Agreement with U.S. Based Investment Grade Hyperscaler*

On October 22, 2025, we announced that we entered into a lease agreement, representing approximately $5 billion in total contracted revenue over the approximate 15-year lease term, with a U.S. based investment grade hyperscaler for 200 MW of critical IT load at Polaris Forge 2 campus, to support the hyperscaler's AI and HPC infrastructure. The hyperscaler also holds a first right of refusal for an additional 800 MW of critical IT, representing the full expansion potential of the Polaris Forge 2 campus.

*Charter Amendment*

On November 5, 2025, we held our Annual Meeting of stockholders. At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders approved, among other things, an amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (as amended, the "Articles of Incorporation"), increasing the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance thereunder to 600,000,000 shares, which was filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on November 6, 2025.

*Notes Offering*

On November 20, 2025, our subsidiary APLD ComputeCo LLC ("APLD ComputeCo") closed a $2.35 billion offering (the "Notes Offering") of 9.250% senior secured notes due 2030 (the "Notes") at an issue price of 97.000%. The Notes were issued and sold in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes are senior secured obligations of APLD ComputeCo and bear interest at a rate of 9.250% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2026. The principal amount of the notes will amortize on a semi-annual basis on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2027, in amounts set forth in the Indenture. The Notes will mature on December 15, 2030, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the subsidiary guarantors, all of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of APLD ComputeCo. Other than a customary completion guarantee, we are not providing credit support for the Notes Offering.

APLD ComputeCo is wholly owned by a joint venture entity, APLD HPC TopCo 2, in which we own 92.5% of fully diluted common equity, and an affiliate of funds and investment vehicles managed by entities within MAM owns 7.5% of fully diluted common equity, as well as preferred equity.

*Internal Reorganization*

 

In part to facilitate the Notes Offering, we completed a targeted reorganization of the entities and assets related to the Polaris Forge 1 campus. This reorganization included a series of steps such as renaming certain existing entities and forming new direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of APLD HPC Holdings LLC and APLD HPC Holdings 2 LLC, including APLD ComputeCo, and additional internal transactions, including equity distributions and contributions and asset transfers, resulting in APLD ELN-02 LLC, APLD ELN-03 LLC, ELN-02 and ELN-03 being owned by APLD ComputeCo. APLD ELN-04 LLC and the related data center facility are not, and are not expected to become, wholly owned subsidiaries of APLD ComputeCo.

*SMBC Loan Payoff*

 

Concurrently with the closing of the Notes Offering, we repaid in full the aggregate principal balance plus accrued interest under the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of February 11, 2025, by and among APLD HPC Holdings LLC, the Subsidiary Guarantors thereunder (as defined therein), the lenders party thereto and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation ("SMBC"), as administrative agent.

**PRIVATE PLACEMENT**

*A&R Unit Purchase Agreement*

 

As previously disclosed in our SEC filings, on January 13, 2025, APLD HPC Holdings LLC (formerly, APLD ELN-02 Holdings LLC), our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into the UPA for its HPC Hosting Business with MIP VI HPC Holdings, LLC, which is an affiliate of funds and investment vehicles managed by entities within MAM. On February 11, 2025, APLD HPC Holdings LLC novated and assigned its rights, title and interests and duties, liabilities and obligations under the UPA to TopCo 1. On October 3, 2025, we, TopCo 1, APLD HPC TopCo 2, and the Purchaser entered into the A&R UPA.

On October 6, 2025, all conditions to the Initial Closing (as defined in the A&R UPA) were satisfied and the Initial Closing occurred. At the Initial Closing, the Subsidiary Issuer sold to the Purchaser 112,500 Preferred Units in APLD HPC TopCo 2 at a price per Preferred Unit of $1,000, for an aggregate purchase price of $112.5 million, and for no additional consideration, APLD HPC TopCo 2 agreed to issue to the Purchaser such number of Common Units of APLD HPC TopCo 2 representing, in the aggregate, seven and a half percent (7.5%) of the fully diluted common equity of APLD HPC TopCo 2 as of immediately following the Initial Closing. MAM has the right to invest up to an additional $4.9 billion under the A&R UPA.

The A&R UPA contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, indemnification by the Company and the Subsidiary Issuer and a 'no shop' clause, and certain termination rights of the parties.

The A&R UPA also provides for us and APLD HPC TopCo 2 to carry out phases of an internal restructuring to segregate our HPC Business Segment's assets and liabilities before each of the Initial Closing, the First Additional Closing and the Second Additional Closing (the "Pre-Closing Restructuring"). Concurrently with the Initial Closing, we entered into a corporate services agreement with APLD HPC TopCo 2.

In addition, pursuant to the A&R UPA, on October 6, 2025, we issued to the designated affiliates of the Purchaser, the Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2.4 million shares of common stock. The Warrants will become exercisable upon the Purchaser funding the full $450 million in Polaris Forge 1. Also on October 6, 2025, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC this registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants within 60 days of the execution of the registration rights agreement.

**USE OF PROCEEDS**

**SELLING STOCKHOLDERS**

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

● ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;

● block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

● purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

● an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

● privately negotiated transactions;

● through the writing of options on the shares;

● to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;

● broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

● a combination of any such methods of sale; and

● any other method permitted by applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or another exemption, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

The selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then existing market price. We cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker- dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts.

The selling stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. The selling stockholders have not entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.

The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under such act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling stockholders or any other such person. In the event that any of the selling stockholders are deemed an affiliated purchaser or distribution participant within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling stockholders will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. In addition, if a short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the selling stockholders will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our common stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.

If a selling stockholder notifies us that it has a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling stockholder and the broker-dealer.

**DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK**

*The following summary of the rights of our capital stock is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended to date (the "Articles") and our third amended and restated bylaws, as amended to date (the "Bylaws"), copies of which are filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on July 30, 2025, which is incorporated by reference herein.*

We are authorized to issue 610,000,000 shares of capital stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 600,000,000 are common stock and 10,000,000 are preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"). For a description of the terms of our Preferred Stock, see Exhibit 4.14 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 30, 2025.

As of December 3, 2025, there were 279,263,526 shares of common stock outstanding and 407,183 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

**Common Stock**

Holders of our common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for such purposes. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any series of Preferred Stock that we may designate and issue in the future. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. The holders of our common stock have no conversion rights. Holders of common stock have no preemptive or subscription rights to purchase any of our securities. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock that we may designate and issue in the future. Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each such share outstanding in the holder's name. No holder of common stock is entitled to cumulative votes in voting for directors.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive a pro rata share of our assets, which are legally available for distribution, after payments of all debts and other liabilities. All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

**Anti-Takeover Effects of the Articles, the Bylaws and Nevada Law**

We are a Nevada corporation and are generally governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS. The following is a brief description of the provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the NRS that could have an effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company.

The provisions of the NRS, our Articles and Bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

*Combinations with Interested Stockholders*

Nevada's "combinations with interested stockholders" statutes, NRS 78.411 through 78.444, inclusive, prohibit specified types of business "combinations" between certain Nevada corporations and any person deemed to be an "interested stockholder" for two years after such person first becomes an "interested stockholder" unless the corporation's board of directors approves the combination (or the transaction by which such person becomes an "interested stockholder") in advance, or unless the combination is approved by the board of directors and sixty percent of the corporation's voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates. Further, in the absence of prior approval certain restrictions may apply even after such two year period. However, these statutes do not apply to any combination of a corporation and an interested stockholder after the expiration of four years after the person first became an interested stockholder. For purposes of these statutes, an "interested stockholder" is any person who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term "combination" is sufficiently broad to cover most significant transactions between a corporation and an "interested stockholder." These statutes generally apply to Nevada corporations with 200 or more stockholders of record. However, a Nevada corporation may elect in its articles of incorporation not to be governed by these particular laws, but if such election is not made in the corporation's original articles of incorporation, the amendment (1) must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of stock representing a majority of the outstanding voting power of the corporation not beneficially owned by interested stockholders or their affiliates and associates, and (2) is not effective until 18 months after the vote approving the amendment and does not apply to any combination with a person who first became an interested stockholder on or before the effective date of the amendment. Our Articles of Incorporation do not include such an election to opt-out of these provisions.

*Acquisition of Controlling Interests*

Nevada's "acquisition of controlling interest" statutes (NRS 78.378 through 78.3793, inclusive) contain provisions governing the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations. These "control share" laws provide generally that any person that acquires a "controlling interest" in certain Nevada corporations may be denied voting rights, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights. Our Bylaws provide that these statutes do not apply to us. Absent such provision in our Bylaws, these laws would apply to us as of a particular date if we were to have 200 or more stockholders of record (at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on our stock ledger at all times during the 90 days immediately preceding that date) and do business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation, unless our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws in effect on the tenth day after the acquisition of a controlling interest provide otherwise. These laws provide that a person acquires a "controlling interest" whenever a person acquires shares of a subject corporation that, but for the application of these provisions of the NRS, would enable that person to exercise (1) one fifth or more, but less than one third, (2) one third or more, but less than a majority or (3) a majority or more, of all of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors. Once an acquirer crosses one of these thresholds, shares which it acquired in the transaction taking it over the threshold and within the 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person acquired or offered to acquire a controlling interest become "control shares" to which the voting restrictions described above apply.

*Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws*

The provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, taken together with the applicable provisions of the NRS:

● Authorize our board of directors to issue "blank check" Preferred Stock, the terms of which may be established and shares of which may be issued without stockholder approval;

● Require supermajority disinterested stockholder approval of certain business combinations with related persons (each as defined in the Articles of Incorporation);

● Permit removal of directors only for cause and require the affirmative vote of not less than 75% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting as a single class, to remove any director (the NRS does not include a cause concept in NRS 78.335 and the provision of our Articles of Incorporation exceeds the minimum two thirds (2/3) threshold vote required by that statute);

● Require the affirmative vote of not less than two thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting as a single class, to adopt, amend, alter or repeal our Bylaws; and

● Do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

NRS 78.139 also provides that directors may resist a change or potential change in control of the corporation if the board of directors determines that the change or potential change is opposed to or not in the best interest of the corporation upon consideration of any relevant facts, circumstances, contingencies or constituencies pursuant to NRS 78.138(4).

In addition, our authorized but unissued shares of common stock are available for our board of directors to issue without stockholder approval. We may use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public or private offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of our authorized but unissued shares of common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or other transaction. Our authorized but unissued shares may be used to delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders. Our board of directors is also authorized to adopt, amend or repeal our Bylaws, which could delay, defer or prevent a change in control.

**LEGAL MATTERS**

The validity of the common stock being offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Snell & Wilmer, L.L.P., Las Vegas, Nevada. Certain legal matters in connection with the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Lowenstein Sandler LLP.

**Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.** 

Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, provides that, unless the corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a director or officer will not be individually liable unless the presumption that it is acting in good faith and on an informed basis with a view to the interests of the corporation has been rebutted, and it is proven that (i) the director's or officer's acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law. Our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that no director or officer shall have any personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for (i) acts that involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of Nevada corporate law.

Section 78.7502(1) of the NRS provides that a corporation may indemnify, pursuant to that statutory provision, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise or as a manager of a limited liability company, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

NRS 78.7502(2) permits a corporation to indemnify, pursuant to that statutory provision, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted under similar standards, except that no indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after any appeals taken therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. NRS 78.751(1) provides that a corporation shall indemnify any person who is a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with defending an action (including, without limitation, attorney's fees), to the extent that the person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a manager of a limited liability company, or any claim, issue or matter in such action.

NRS 78.751 provides that the indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 shall not be deemed exclusive or exclude any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled (except that indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of any appeals taken therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and such intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law was material to the cause of action) and that the indemnification shall continue as to directors, officers, employees or agents who have ceased to hold such positions, and to their heirs, executors and administrators. NRS 78.752 permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities.

Section 78.752 of the NRS provides that a Nevada company may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the company has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.

Our Third Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the "Bylaws"), provide that the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and certain executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and certain executive officers for certain expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments and fines incurred by such director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors or executive officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.

We maintain a directors' and officers' insurance policy pursuant to which our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe these provisions in the Bylaws and these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or control persons, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

**Item 17. Undertakings.** 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

*provided, however*, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference herein in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial *bona fide* offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. *Provided*, *however*, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference herein in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial *bona fide* offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Resale Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have served as special Nevada counsel to Applied Digital Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Company's preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 on the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

The Registration Statement relates to the registration and sale by the selling stockholders (the "Selling Stockholders") named in the Registration Statement of up 2,400,000 shares (the "Warrant Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), issuable upon the exercise of the warrants (the "Warrants") issued by the Company on October 6, 2025 to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Amended and Restated Unit Purchase Agreement, dated October 3, 2025 (the "A&R UPA"), among the Company, APLD HPC TopCo LLC, APLD HPC TopCo 2 LLC and MIP HPC Holdings, LLC (formerly, MIP VI HPC Holdings, LLC).

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Registration Statement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement and exhibits thereto; (ii) the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, as currently in effect; (iii) the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended, as currently in effect; (iv) the A&R UPA; (v) the Warrants; (vi) certain resolutions and minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the adoption, approval, authorization and/or ratification of (A) the issuance and sale of the Warrant Shares, (B) the specimen of Common Stock certificate, (C) the A&R UPA, the Warrants and the transactions contemplated thereby and (D) other related matters; (vii) the Certificate of Existence with Status in Good Standing, certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, dated as of a recent date; and (vii) such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to express the opinion set forth below, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein. For the purpose of rendering this opinion, we have made such factual and legal examinations as we deemed necessary under the circumstances, and in that connection therewith we have examined, among other things, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company, and other instruments and have made such inquiries as we have deemed appropriate for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

In our examination, we have assumed without independent verification the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making our examination of executed documents, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and the execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties, including that each of the Warrants will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. Our opinions are subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which were not independently established or verified, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers or other representatives of the Company and others.

On the basis of, and in reliance on, the foregoing examination and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations contained herein, we are of the opinion that the Warrant Shares to be resold by the Selling Stockholders have been duly authorized and, if and when issued and delivered by the Company upon the exercise of the Warrants and against payment of the consideration set forth in the Warrants will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We render this opinion only with respect to the general corporate law of the State of Nevada as set forth in Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. We neither express nor imply any obligation with respect to any other laws or the laws of any other jurisdiction or of the United States. For purposes of this opinion, we assume that the Warrant Shares will be issued in compliance with all applicable state securities or blue sky laws.

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the matters specifically set forth herein and no other opinion shall be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any fact that might change the opinion expressed herein after the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we neither express nor imply any opinion regarding the contents of the Registration Statement.

We are opining only as to matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. This opinion is rendered as of the date hereof and is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions. We disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of these sources of law or subsequent legal or factual developments that affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby concede that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
