Strictly Confidential Risk Factors (1/9) 20 Risks Related to Bitdeer The below list of key risks has been prepared solely for the purposes of potential investors evaluating the proposed t ransaction , and not for any other purpose . Unless the context otherwise requires, all reference in this subsection to the “Company,” “ Bitdeer ,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of Bitdeer prior to the consummation of the t ransaction . The risks presented below are some of the general risks to the business and operations of Bitdeer , the cryptocurrency industry and other transaction related risks . You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties and should carry out your own diligence and consult with your own financial and legal advisors concerning the risks and suitability of an investment in this Company or Blue Safari before making an investment decision . Risks relating to the business of Bitdeer will be disclosed in future documents filed or furnished with the SEC, including documents filed or furnished in connection with the proposed Transaction . The risks presented in such filings will be consistent with those that would be required for a public company in SEC filings and may differ significantly from and be more extensive than those presented below . These risk factors are not exhaustive, and investors are encouraged to perform their own investigation with respect to the business, financial condition and prospects of Bitdeer following the completion of the t ransaction . Investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the information included in the investor presentation . Bitdeer may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to it, or that it currently deems immaterial, which may also impair Bitdeer's business or financial condition . 1. The cryptocurrency industry in which Bitdeer operates is characterized by constant changes . If Bitdeer fails to continuously innovate and to provide solutions or services that meet the expectations of its customers, Bitdeer may not be able to attract new customers or retain existing customers, and hence its business and results of operations may be adversely affected . 2. Bitdeer’s results of operations have been and are expected to continue to be significantly impacted by Bitcoin price fluctuation . 3. The supply of Bitcoins available for mining is limited and Bitdeer may not be able to quickly adapt to new businesses when all the Bitcoins have been mined . 4. Although Bitdeer has an organic way of growing its mining fleets, its business is nevertheless capital intensive . It may need additional capital but may not be able to obtain it in a timely manner and on favorable terms or at all . 5. Bitdeer may not be able to maintain its competitive position as cryptocurrency networks experience increases in the total network hash rate . 6. Bitdeer has experienced negative cash flows from operating activities and incurred net losses in the past and can provide no assurance of its future operating results . 7. Bitdeer’s limited operating history and rapid revenue growth may make it difficult for Bitdeer to forecast its business and assess the seasonality and volatility in its business . 8. Bitdeer has experienced and may experience in the future hash rate loss during its operations due to factors beyond its control . 9. Bitdeer is subject to risks associated with its need for significant electric power and the limited availability of power resources, which could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition and results of operations . 10. If Bitdeer fails to accurately estimate the factors upon which Bitdeer bases its contract pricing, Bitdeer may generate less profit than expected or incur losses on those contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition and results of operations . 11. Bitdeer has broad discretion regarding pricing strategy and resource allocation and may exercise related business judgments in a way that you may not agree with . Such judgments may not achieve the best possible outcome for its business operations .
Strictly Confidential Risk Factors (2/9) 21 12. Bitdeer faces intense competition and its competitors may employ aggressive pricing strategies, which can lead to a price reduction of Bitdeer’s solutions and services and material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s results of operations . 13. The average selling prices of Bitdeer’s solutions and services may fluctuate from time to time due to technological advancement and Bitdeer may not be able to pass onto its machine suppliers such decreases, which may in turn adversely affect its profitability . 14. There are uncertainties over the outcome of Bitdeer’s mining operations . 15. The development of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency is in its early stage and any adverse development in the cryptocurrency or blockchain market could adversely affect Bitdeer’s business and results of operations . 16. Bitdeer is subject to risks associated with legal, political or other conditions or developments regarding holding, using or mining of cryptocurrencies, in particular Bitcoins, which could negatively affect its business, results of operations and financial position . 17. Substantial increases in the supply of mining machines connected to the Bitcoin network would lead to an increase in network hash rate capacity, which in turn would increase mining difficulty . This development would negatively affect the economic returns of Bitcoin mining activities, which would decrease the demand for and/or pricing of Bitdeer’s products and services . 18. Bitdeer’s business is highly dependent on acquiring a sufficient number of cryptocurrency mining equipment from its suppliers . Bitdeer may not be able to obtain new mining hardware or purchase such hardware at competitive prices during times of high demand, which could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition and results of operations . 19. Bitdeer relies on supplies from a single or a group of third - party electricity, mining pool services and mining machines providers, and any negative incidents caused by actions taken by them that are outside of Bitdeer’s control may adversely impact Bitdeer’s business and results of operations . 20. Failure to keep Bitdeer’s solutions and services up - to - date in line with the approximate level of market demand could cause Bitdeer to lose sales, which could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition and results of operations . 21. Bitdeer may be unable to execute its growth strategies or effectively maintain its rapid growth trends . 22. Bitdeer faces risks associated with the expansion of its scale of operations globally, and if Bitdeer is unable to effectively manage these risks, they could impair Bitdeer’s ability to expand its business abroad . 23. Delays in the expansion of existing mining datacenters or the construction of new mining datacenters or significant cost overruns could present significant risks to Bitdeer’s business and could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition and results of operations . 24. Any failure of Bitdeer’s solutions or services to meet the necessary quality standards could adversely affect Bitdeer’s reputation, business and results of operation . 25. Power outage or shortages, labor disputes and other factors may result in constraints on Bitdeer’s business activities . 26. If Bitdeer is unable to maintain or enhance its brand recognition, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected . 27. Bitdeer may not be able to adequately protect its intellectual property rights and other proprietary rights, which could have a material adverse effect on business, financial condition and results of operations .
Strictly Confidential Risk Factors (3/9) 22 28. Bitdeer may face intellectual property infringement claims or other related disputes, which could be time - consuming, costly to defend or settle and result in the loss of significant rights and lower sales . 29. The loss of any member of Bitdeer’s senior management team, or Bitdeer’s failure to attract, train and retain qualified personnel, especially its design and technical personnel, could impair Bitdeer’s ability to grow its business and effectively execute its business strategy . 30. Bitdeer may be vulnerable to security breaches, which could disrupt its operations and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations . 31. Bitdeer may be exposed to cybersecurity threats and hacks, which could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition and results of operations . 32. Bitdeer may engage in acquisitions or strategic alliances in the future that could disrupt Bitdeer’s business, result in increased expenses, reduce Bitdeer’s financial resources and cause dilution to Bitdeer’s shareholders . Bitdeer cannot assure you that such acquisitions or strategic alliances may be successfully implemented . 33. Any global systemic economic and financial crisis could negatively affect Bitdeer’s business, results of operations, and financial condition . 34. Changes in international trade policies and international barriers to trade may have an adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business and expansion plans . 35. Bitdeer’s prepayments to suppliers may subject it to counterparty risk associated with such suppliers and negatively affect Bitdeer’s liquidity and cash position . 36. Concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change may result in environmental taxes, charges, assessments or penalties and could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition and results of operations . 37. If Bitdeer experiences difficulty in collecting its trade receivables, its liquidity, financial condition and results of operations would be negatively impacted . 38. Bitdeer’s operations and those of its production partners and customers are vulnerable to natural disasters and other events beyond Bitdeer’s control, the occurrence of which may have an adverse effect on the supply chain of Bitdeer’s suppliers and on Bitdeer’s facilities, personnel and results of operations . 39. The COVID - 19 pandemic has brought a significantly negative impact on the global economy, industry and market conditions . The ongoing development and the global control on the pandemic are unclear, which may increase the instability of Bitdeer’s development, materially and adversely affecting Bitdeer’s results of operations . 40. Because there has been limited precedent set for financial accounting for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the determinations that Bitdeer has made for how to account for cryptocurrencies transactions may be subject to change . 41. Any loss or destruction of a private key required to access a cryptocurrency of Bitdeer’s is irreversible . Bitdeer also may temporarily lose access to its cryptocurrencies . 42. Bitcoin exchanges and wallets, and to a lesser extent, the Bitcoin network itself, may suffer from hacking and fraud risks, which may adversely erode user confidence in Bitcoin which would decrease the demand for Bitdeer’s products and services . 43. Bitdeer may not have adequate sources of recovery if the cryptocurrencies held by it are lost, stolen or destroyed due to third - party cryptocurrencies custodial services, which could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition and results of operations . 44. The “halving” of rewards available on the Bitcoin network, or the reduction of rewards on other networks, has had and in the future could have a negative impact on Bitdeer’s ability to generate revenue as its customers may not have an adequate incentive to continue transaction processing and customers may cease transaction processing operations altogether, which could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition and results of operations .
Strictly Confidential Risk Factors (4/9) 23 45. Malicious actors or botnet may obtain control of more than 50 % of the processing power on the Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency network . 46. If there are significant changes to the method of validating blockchain transactions, such changes could harm Bitdeer’s proprietary mining business and reduce demand for Bitdeer’s products and services . 47. Growth in the popularity and use of other blockchain networks other than PoW cryptocurrency networks, may adversely affect Bitdeer’s business . 48. The acceptance of Bitcoin network software patches or upgrades by a significant, but not overwhelming, percentage of the users and miners in the Bitcoin network could result in a “fork” in the blockchain, resulting in the operation of two separate networks that cannot be merged . The existence of forked blockchains could erode user confidence in Bitcoin and could adversely impact Bitdeer’s business, results of operations and financial condition . 49. Cryptocurrency transactions are irrevocable and, if stolen or incorrectly transferred, cryptocurrencies may be irretrievable . As a result, any incorrectly executed cryptocurrency transactions could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition and results of operations . 50. The cryptocurrencies held by Bitdeer may be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction on access, which could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition or results of operations . 51. The impact of geopolitical, economic or other events on the supply of and demand for cryptocurrencies is uncertain, but could motivate large - scale sales of cryptocurrencies, which could result in a reduction in the price of such cryptocurrencies and could have a material adverse effect on Bitdeer’s business, financial condition and results of operations . 52. Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, face significant scaling obstacles that can lead to high fees or slow transaction settlement times and any mechanisms of increasing the scale of cryptocurrency settlement may significantly alter the competitive dynamics in the market . 53. To the extent that any miners cease to record transactions in solved blocks, transactions that do not include the payment of a transaction fee will not be recorded on the blockchain until a block is solved by a miner who does not require the payment of transaction fees .
