|
• |
The Issuer’s financial results and the market price of the Common Stock may be affected by the prices of Bitcoin.
|
|
• |
Investing in Bitcoin will expose the Issuer to certain risks associated with Bitcoin, such as price volatility, limited liquidity and trading volumes, relative anonymity, potential susceptibility
to market abuse and manipulation, theft, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges and other risks inherent in its electronic, virtual form and decentralized network.
|
|
• |
Issuer will have broad discretion in how it executes its Bitcoin strategy, including the timing of purchases and sale of Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related products. The Issuer may not execute its
strategy effectively, which could affect its results of operations and cause its stock price to decline.
|
|
• |
A significant decrease in the market value of the Issuer’s Bitcoin holdings could adversely affect its ability to satisfy its financial obligations under the Debt Financing and any subsequent debt
financings.
|
|
• |
Unrealized fair value gains on its Bitcoin holdings could cause the Issuer to become subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
|
|
• |
Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset, and fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin are likely to influence the Issuer’s financial results and the market price of the Common Stock.
|
|
• |
Bitcoin and other digital assets are novel assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty.
|
|
• |
The availability of spot exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) for Bitcoin and other digital assets may adversely affect the market price of its listed securities.
|
|
• |
The Issuer’s Bitcoin strategy will subject it to enhanced regulatory oversight.
|
|
• |
Bitcoin trading venues may experience greater fraud, security failures, or regulatory or operational problems than trading venues for more established asset classes.
|
|
• |
The concentration of Bitcoin holdings may enhance the risks inherent in the Issuer’s Bitcoin strategy.
|
|
• |
The Issuer’s Bitcoin holdings will be less liquid than existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for it to the same extent as cash and cash
equivalents.
|
|
• |
If the Issuer or its third-party service providers experience a security breach or cyber-attack and unauthorized parties obtain access to its Bitcoin assets, the Issuer may lose some or all of its
Bitcoin assets and its financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
|
|
• |
The Issuer will face risks relating to the custody of its Bitcoin, including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access its Bitcoin and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to
its Bitcoin.
|
|
• |
Regulatory changes reclassifying Bitcoin as a security could lead to the Issuer’s classification as an “investment company” under the ICA and could adversely affect the market price of Bitcoin and
the market price of the Issuer’s listed securities.
|
|
• |
The Issuer is not subject to legal and regulatory obligations that apply to investment companies such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or to obligations applicable to investment advisers.
|
|
• |
The Issuer’s Bitcoin strategy exposes it to risk of non-performance by counterparties.
|
|
• |
The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to purchase Bitcoin, the price of which has been, and will likely continue to be, highly volatile.
|
|
• |
The Issuer will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and investors will not have the opportunity as of this process to assess whether the net proceeds are being
used in a manner of which you approve.
|
|
• |
The Issuer’s indebtedness and future indebtedness could affect its financial condition and prevent it from fulfilling its obligations under the Convertible Notes.
|
|
• |
The Issuer’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy its debt obligations, or to refinance its indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, could materially and adversely
affect its financial position and results of operations and its ability to satisfy its obligations under the Convertible Notes.
|
|
• |
The Convertible Notes may contain terms which restrict the Issuer’s business operations and reduces its access to capital.
|
|
• |
A lowering or withdrawal of ratings assigned to the Issuer’s debt securities by rating agencies, if any, may increase the Issuer’s future borrowing costs and reduce its access to capital.
|
|
• |
The Convertible Notes will be secured by Bitcoin, which could become a significant portion of the assets of the Issuer. As a result of these security interests, such assets would be available to
satisfy claims of the Issuer’s general creditors or to holders of the Issuer’s equity securities if the Issuer were to become insolvent only to the extent the value of such assets exceeded the amount of the Issuer’s secured indebtedness and
other obligations. In addition, the existence of these security interests may adversely affect the Issuer’s financial flexibility.
|
|
• |
The Issuer may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Convertible Notes or to repay the Convertible Notes in cash at their maturity, and the Issuer’s future debt may
contain limitations on its ability to pay cash upon conversion, redemption, or repurchase of the Convertible Notes.
|
|
• |
The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes may not be adjusted for all dilutive events that may occur.
|
|
• |
Conversion or redemption may adversely affect the return on the Convertible Notes.
|
|
• |
The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, including the Convertible Notes, may have a material affect on the Issuer’s financial results.
|
|
• |
The market price of the Common Stock, which may fluctuate significantly, may directly affect the value of the Convertible Notes.
|
|
• |
Holders of the Convertible Notes will not be entitled to any rights with respect to the Common Stock, but will be subject to changes made with respect to the Common Stock.
|
|
• |
The Convertible Notes are convertible into the Common Stock and therefore holders of the Convertible Notes will be subject to all of the risks associated with holding Common Stock.

on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material

below), (ii) the filings required by applicable state or federal securities laws, (iii) the filings required by the Exchange, including with respect to obtaining stockholder approval, if required, and (iv) any filings the failure of which

sale and issuance of the Notes.

i. |
As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) and (ii) 999,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of the date

(i) any shares issued pursuant to the PIPE Agreement, (ii) pursuant to the exercise of employee share options under the Company’s outstanding share option awards, (iii) the issuance of Common Stock or other equity securities to employees
pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plan, and (iv) pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission. No
Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the
Subscribed Notes, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any Common Stock or the capital stock of any Subsidiary, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become
bound to issue additional Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or capital stock of any Subsidiary. The issuance and sale of the Subscribed Notes will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue Common Stock or other securities
to any Person (other than the Subscribers). There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary with any provision that adjusts the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of such security or
instrument upon an issuance of securities by the Company or any Subsidiary. There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary that contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or such Subsidiary, except for the PIPE Subscription Agreements. The Company does not have any

agreements with respect to the Company’s shares of Common Stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s shareholders. “Common Stock Equivalents” means any
securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preference share, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any

The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents (as defined below) comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in
effect at the time of filing or as such financial statements have been amended or corrected in a subsequent filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by
GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in
the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Documents or as otherwise disclosed in the SEC Documents, (i) there has
been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables
and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or disclosed in filings made with the
Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its shareholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to
purchase or redeem any shares and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company equity incentive plans. The Company does not have pending before the
Commission any request for confidential treatment of information. Except for the issuance of the Subscribed Notes contemplated by this Agreement, the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the sale of the shares
pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, and the use of proceeds contemplated thereby, no event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect
to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, prospects, properties, operations, assets or financial condition that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this
representation is made or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least one (1) trading day prior to the date that this representation is made.
|
|
k. |
The Company has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that alleges that the Company is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or
violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
|
|
l. |
At Closing, the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and are listed for trading on the Exchange. The Company has taken no action that is designed to terminate the
registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or the listing of the Common Stock on the Exchange. Since April 1, 2024, the Company has not received notice from any Exchange on which the Common Stock are or have been listed or
quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Exchange. There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
against the Company by the Exchange or the Commission with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Common Stock or prohibit or terminate the listing of the Common Stock on the Exchange. The Company is, and has no reason
to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock are currently eligible for electronic transfer through the DTC or another established
clearing corporation and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the DTC (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer. As of the closing Date, the Subscribed Notes will be eligible
for clearance and settlement through DTC under a Rule 144A CUSIP.

Title:
|
|
• |
The Company’s financial results and the market price of the Common Stock may be affected by the prices of Bitcoin.
|
|
• |
Investing in Bitcoin will expose the Company to certain risks associated with Bitcoin, such as price volatility, limited liquidity and trading volumes, relative anonymity, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation,
theft, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges and other risks inherent in its electronic, virtual form and decentralized network.
|
|
• |
Issuer will have broad discretion in how it executes its Bitcoin strategy, including the timing of purchases and sale of Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related products. The Company may not execute its strategy effectively, which could affect its
results of operations and cause its stock price to decline.
|
|
• |
A significant decrease in the market value of the Company’s Bitcoin holdings could adversely affect its ability to satisfy its financial obligations under the Debt Financing and any subsequent debt financings.
|
|
• |
Unrealized fair value gains on its Bitcoin holdings could cause the Company to become subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
|
|
• |
Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset, and fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin are likely to influence the Company’s financial results and the market price of the Common Stock.
|
|
• |
Bitcoin and other digital assets are novel assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty.
|
|
• |
The availability of spot exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) for Bitcoin and other digital assets may adversely affect the market price of its listed securities.
|
|
• |
The Company’s Bitcoin strategy will subject it to enhanced regulatory oversight.
|
|
• |
Bitcoin trading venues may experience greater fraud, security failures, or regulatory or operational problems than trading venues for more established asset classes.
|
|
• |
The concentration of Bitcoin holdings may enhance the risks inherent in the Company’s Bitcoin strategy.
|
|
• |
The Company’s Bitcoin holdings will be less liquid than existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for it to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.
|
|
• |
If the Company or its third-party service providers experience a security breach or cyber-attack and unauthorized parties obtain access to its Bitcoin assets, the Company may lose some or all of its Bitcoin assets and its financial
condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
|
|
• |
The Company will face risks relating to the custody of its Bitcoin, including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access its Bitcoin and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to its Bitcoin.
|
|
• |
Regulatory changes reclassifying Bitcoin as a security could lead to the Company’s classification as an “investment company” under the ICA and could adversely affect the market price of Bitcoin and the market price of the Company’s
listed securities.
|
|
• |
The Company is not subject to legal and regulatory obligations that apply to investment companies such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or to obligations applicable to investment advisers.
|
|
• |
The Company’s Bitcoin strategy exposes it to risk of non-performance by counterparties.
|
|
• |
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to purchase Bitcoin, the price of which has been, and will likely continue to be, highly volatile.
|
|
• |
The Company will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and investors will not have the opportunity as of this process to assess whether the net proceeds are being used in a manner of which you approve.
|
|
• |
The Company’s indebtedness and future indebtedness could affect its financial condition and prevent it from fulfilling its obligations under the Notes.
|
|
• |
The Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy its debt obligations, or to refinance its indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, could materially and adversely affect its financial position and
results of operations and its ability to satisfy its obligations under the Notes.
|
|
• |
The Notes may contain terms which restrict the Company’s business operations and reduces its access to capital.
|
|
• |
A lowering or withdrawal of ratings assigned to the Company’s debt securities by rating agencies, if any, may increase the Company’s future borrowing costs and reduce its access to capital.
|
|
• |
The Notes will be secured by Bitcoin, which could become a significant portion of the assets of the Company. As a result of these security interests, such assets would be available to satisfy claims of the Company’s general creditors
or to holders of the Company’s equity securities if the Company were to become insolvent only to the extent the value of such assets exceeded the amount of the Company’s secured indebtedness and other obligations. In addition, the
existence of these security interests may adversely affect the Company’s financial flexibility.
|
|
• |
The Company may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Notes or to repay the Notes in cash at their maturity, and the Company’s future debt may contain limitations on its ability to pay cash upon
conversion, redemption, or repurchase of the Notes.
|
|
• |
The conversion rate of the Notes may not be adjusted for all dilutive events that may occur.
|
|
• |
Conversion or redemption may adversely affect the return on the Notes.
|
|
• |
The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, including the Notes, may have a material affect on the Company’s financial results.
|
|
• |
The market price of the Common Stock, which may fluctuate significantly, may directly affect the value of the Notes.
|
|
• |
Holders of the Notes will not be entitled to any rights with respect to the Common Stock, but will be subject to changes made with respect to the Common Stock.
|
|
• |
The Notes are convertible into the Common Stock and therefore holders of the Notes will be subject to all of the risks associated with holding Common Stock.
