Description of the Business Combination
On February 29, 2024, BitFuFu Inc. consummated the previously announced business combination with Arisz, pursuant to (1) the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of January 21, 2022 (as amended as of April 4, 2022, October 10, 2022, April 24, 2023 and July 28, 2023, the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Arisz and Finfront, (2) the joinder agreement by and among BitFuFu Inc., Finfront, Boundary Holding Company (“Merger Sub”) and Arisz, dated April 4, 2022, and (3) supplemental joinder agreement by and among BitFuFu Inc., Finfront, Merger Sub and Arisz, dated December 20, 2023. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the business combination was effected in two steps. On February 29, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), (1) Arisz merged with and into BitFuFu Inc. (the “Redomestication Merger”), with BitFuFu Inc. surviving the Redomestication Merger as a publicly traded entity (the time at which the Redomestication Merger became effective is referred to herein as the “Redomestication Merger Effective Time”); and (2) immediately following the Redomestication Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Finfront (the “Acquisition Merger” and, together with all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with Finfront surviving the Acquisition Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BitFuFu Inc.
In consideration of the Acquisition Merger, the expected beneficial ownership of PubCo ordinary shares following the consummation of the Business Combination (post-Business Combination), has been determined based upon the following: (i) the issuance of 15,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of PubCo and 135,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of PubCo to the shareholders of BitFuFu, (ii) the conversion of each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Redomestication Merger into one validly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Share, (iii) the conversion of each ARIZ Right issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Redomestication Merger into one-twentieth (1/20) of one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share, (iv) the issuance of 7,400,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to the PIPE Investors in the PIPE Investment, (v) the issuance of 2,301,750 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to Chardan, and (vi) the issuance of 1,010,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to Aqua (including the transfer of 260,000 to Aqua from Sponsor), and (vii) the issuance of 200,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, and (viii) Sponsor has transferred 204,348 shares to Ethereal Tech Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of Finfront, pursuant to the ET Stock Purchase Agreement, (ix) redemption of 777,050 shares of Common Stock (approximately at $11.14 per share totaled $8.66 million) in connection with the stockholders’ vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held by Arisz on February 5, 2024, and (x) redemption of 2,282,657 shares of Common Stock (approximately at $11.14 per share totaled $25.43 million) in connection with the stockholders’ vote at Feb 26, 2024.
Accounting for the Business Combination
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Arisz will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the current shareholders of BitFuFu having a majority of the voting power of the post-combination company, BitFuFu senior management comprising all of the senior management of the post-combination company, the relative size of BitFuFu compared to Arisz, and BitFuFu operations comprising the ongoing operations of the post-combination company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of BitFuFu issuing stock for the net assets of Arisz, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Arisz will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of BitFuFu.
Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Business Combination, are factually supportable, and as it relates to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the post-combination company. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the post-combination company upon consummation of the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical financial position and results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future financial position and results that the post-combination company will experience. BitFuFu and Arisz have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on the actual redemption into cash of the shares of Common Stock.
Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements are (i) the issuance of 15,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of PubCo and 135,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of PubCo to the shareholders of BitFuFu, (ii) the conversion of each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Redomestication Merger into one validly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Share, (iii) the conversion of each ARIZ Right issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Redomestication Merger into one-twentieth (1/20) of one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share, (iv) the issuance of 7,400,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to the PIPE Investors in the PIPE Investment, (v) the issuance of 2,301,750 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to Chardan, and (vi) the issuance of 1,010,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to Aqua (including the transfer of 260,000 to Aqua from Arisz initial shareholders), and (vii) the issuance of 200,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Backstop Agreement in connection with the Merger Agreement, and (viii) Sponsor has transferred 204,348 shares pursuant to the ET Stock Purchase Agreement, and (ix) redemption of 777,050 shares of Common Stock (approximately at $11.14 per share totaled $8.66 million) in connection with the stockholders’ vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on February 5, 2024, and (x) redemption of 2,282,657 shares of Common Stock (approximately at $11.14 per share totaled $25.43 million) in connection with the stockholders’ vote at Feb 26, 2024.
As a result of the Business Combination and immediately following the closing of the Business Combination, Finfront own approximately 92.1% of the outstanding Arisz ordinary shares, and the former shareholders of Arisz own approximately 1.4% of the outstanding Arisz ordinary shares (not giving effect to any shares issuable to them upon the exercise of warrants and the unit purchase option).

(3) | To record the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments applied at BitFuFu’s normalized blended statutory income tax rate of 25.0%. |
(4) | To eliminate intercompany transactions. Interest expense paid by Arisz on the promissory note given by Bitfufu is an intercompany transaction and therefore needs to be eliminated. |
(5) | The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the business combination occurred as of the earliest period presented. In addition, as the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred on this date, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented. This calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of shares redeemed in the Business Combinations for the entire period. |
