Galaxy's investment banking affiliate, Galaxy Digital Partners LLC, also acted as an advisor to the Company.
In addition, certain shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders"), including Galaxy Group Investments LLC, have granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 1,462,500 Ordinary Shares (to be issued upon the exchange of Class B Units of Galaxy Digital Holdings LP (the "Class B Units") held by the Selling Shareholders in accordance with their terms) at the Offering Price, exercisable in whole or in part at any time, for a period of 30 days after the closing of the Offering (the "Over-Allotment Option"), which, if exercised in full, would result in gross proceeds to the Selling Shareholders of C$20,475,000 million (approximately US$15.0 million equivalent).
