Empery DigitalAnnounces Amendment to Debt Facility to Enhance Balance Sheet Flexibility
Empery Digital Has Repurchased Approximately15.9 Million Shares
**AUSTIN, Texas – February 11, 2026 –**Empery Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: EMPD) (the “Company” or “Empery Digital”) today announced that it has entered into an amendment of its committed credit facility with Two Prime Lending to increase flexibility to the Company’s balance sheet and support the Company’s effort to close the net asset value (“NAV”) gap.
The amended terms reduce the initial collateral requirement on outstanding loans and future drawdowns from 250% to 174%, freeing up collateral and increasing management’s flexibility to leverage the Company’s balance sheet, including reducing its bitcoin holdings, to fund future share repurchases and potentially repay portions of other outstanding borrowings with higher collateral requirements. The amendment increases the interest rate on the facility from 6.5% to 7.5%.
Management remains committed to maximizing per-share value and continues to opportunistically repurchase shares at prices below NAV. As of February 10, 2026, the Company has repurchased 15,882,992 shares of its common stock under its $200 million share repurchase program, at an average purchase price per share of $6.63, including all fees and commissions. Following these repurchases, the current number of shares outstanding is 35,537,243, after giving effect to the potential exercise of 870,240 pre-funded warrants.
