10. Share Capital

In September 2021, the Company completed a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 22,600,000 common shares, no par value, of the Company, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,299,000 common shares of the Company at a combined offering price of $8.50 per share. The warrants have an exercise price of $9.50 per share. Each warrant is exercisable for one common share and is immediately exercisable and will expire five years from the issuance date. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of such holder’s warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common shares immediately after exercise, except that upon notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may decrease or increase the limitation of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s warrants up to 9.99% of the number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants, provided that any increase in such limitation shall not be effective until 61 days following notice to the Company. Net proceeds, after deducting placement agent’s fees, commissions and other offering expenses, were approximately $176.3 million. Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) acted as the sole placement agent in connection with the offering. The proceeds will be used, in part, towards the purchase of 60,000 crypto mining machines (“miners”).

In August 2021, the Company completed the purchase and sale of 2,488,530 units (collectively, the “Units” and individually, a “Unit”) at a combined offering price of $4.25 per Unit with each Unit consisting of (a) one common share of the Company, (b) a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $6.50 per share immediately exercisable and will expire three years from the issuance date (the “A Warrant”), and (c) a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $7.50 per share immediately exercisable and will expire three years from the issuance date (the “B Warrant”) (collectively the “August 2021 Warrants”). The August 2021 Warrants include a provision restricting the warrant holder from exercising it if the aggregate number of common shares held by the warrant holder equals or exceeds 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, calculated on a partially converted basis (i.e., assuming the conversion of all rights to receive common shares of the Company held by the warrant holder). In addition, as an introduction fee, the Company issued to OTC Hospitality Group 106,958 A Warrants and 106,958 B Warrants, with the same terms as the August 2021 Warrants,

to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 213,916 common shares and paid to OTC Hospitality Group $456,000 in cash. Net proceeds were approximately $10.1 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes.

In May 2021, the Company completed the closing of its underwritten public offering of 5,600,000 common shares at a price to the public of $1.25 per share. Maxim acted as the sole placement agent in connection with the offering. The Company granted to Maxim a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 700,000 common shares, at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions, of which Maxim has exercised its option to purchase the additional common shares. In addition, the Company issued Maxim 224,000 warrants to purchase up to 224,000 common shares at a purchase price of $1.375. Net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses were approximately $6.8 million, inclusive of the over-allotment.

In May 2021, the Company entered into a settlement and termination agreement with Torrington, and as full and final settlement of all amounts owing under the February 13, 2020 Business Advisory Agreement, whether fixed, contingent or otherwise, the Company issued to Torrington, as a one-time payment, share certificates representing 600,000 common shares of the Company with a fair value of $795,000.

In May 2020, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement and registration rights agreement with Oasis to purchase from the Company up to $11.0 million worth of common shares of the Company. Under the purchase agreement, the Company has the right to sell up to $11.0 million of its common shares to Oasis over a 36-month period. The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales to Oasis, and Oasis is obligated to make purchases in accordance with the purchase agreement, upon certain terms and conditions being met. The purchase agreement, which contains a floor price of $1.74 per common share, as amended on January 4, 2021, allows the Company to fund its needs in a more expedient and cost-effective manner, on the pricing terms set forth in the purchase agreement. The equity line is designed to provide capital to the Company as it is required. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued 630,000 common shares to Oasis for gross proceeds of $1.3 million under the terms and conditions of the equity purchase agreement. At September 30, 2021, the Company has issued from inception to date, in the aggregate, $1.7 million worth of common shares of the Company under the equity purchase agreement.
