On August 15, 2022, Bit Origin Ltd (the “Company”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a seller (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company purchased 622 units of cryptocurrency mining equipment from the Seller for a total purchase price of $3,110,000, payable in the form of 8,685,574 ordinary shares (the “Shares”) of the Company, valued at $0.36 per share. The Seller agreed to deliver the miners to a hosting facility located in Macon, Georgia within 15 days from the date of the Purchase Agreement. On August 22, 2022, the Company issued the Shares to the Seller in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Regulation S as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. The Company made the determination based upon the factors that the Seller is not a “U.S. Person” as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act, that the Seller was acquiring the Shares for its own respective account and not as nominees or agents, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that the Seller understood that the Shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
