NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 11, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Bitfury Top HoldCo, made under and as a part of the Master Services and Supply Agreement between the Company and Bitfury Top HoldCo, dated as of August 26, 2021, to purchase a total of between 28,000 to 56,000 mining rigs, which shall be delivered in seven batches on a monthly basis between June 2022 and December 2022. We agreed to pay a maximum price per machine and to make an advance payment of $10.0 million that was paid to Bitfury Top HoldCo on October 13, 2021 (the “Pre-payment”) following the execution of the agreement and advance payments thereafter for each monthly batch due in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

On November 9, 2021, the Company paid an additional deposit amount of $11.4 million to Bitmain pursuant to the executed purchase agreement with Bitmain further detailed in Note 6 above.

On November 10, 2021, the Board approved grants of restricted stock units under the Incentive Award Plan to Tyler Page, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and Edward Farrell, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, which grants are to be effective November 12, 2021. The material terms of the restricted stock unit grants are described below.

Mr. Page received a grant of 5,676,946 restricted stock units which are fully vested upon grant. In addition, Mr. Page received a grant of 7,096,183 restricted stock units, 2,838,473 of which are subject to service-based vesting (the “Service-Based RSUs”) and 4,257,710 of which are subject to performance-based vesting (the “Performance-Based RSUs”). The Service-Based RSUs vest in equal installments on each of January 1, 2022, January 1, 2023, January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025, subject to Mr. Page’s continuous service on the applicable vesting date; provided, that if Mr. Page’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause,” by Mr. Page for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in Mr. Page’s employment agreement with the Company) or due to his death or permanent disability, all unvested Service-Based RSUs will vest in full. In addition, in the event of a “change in control” (as defined in the Incentive Award Plan), any unvested Service-Based RSUs will vest subject to Mr. Page’s continuous service to the Company through such change in control. One-third of the Performance-Based RSUs will vest upon the Company achieving a market capitalization equal to or exceeding $5 billion, $7.5 billion and $10 billion, in each case over a 30-day lookback period and subject to Mr. Page’s continuous service through the end of the applicable 30-day period. In addition, if the $10 billion market capitalization milestone is achieved and Mr. Page remains in continuous service through such achievement, any then-unvested Service-Based RSUs will vest. In the event of a change in control and Mr. Page’s continuous service through such change in control, the per share price (plus the per share value of any other consideration) received by the Company’s stockholders in such change in control will be used to determine whether any of the market capitalization milestones are achieved (without regard to the 30-day lookback period). Any Performance-Based RSUs that do not vest prior to Mr. Page’s termination of service or, if earlier, in connection with a change in control will be forfeited for no consideration.

Mr. Farrell received a grant of 936,696 restricted stock units which are subject to service-based vesting. Mr. Farrell’s restricted stock units will vest in equal installments on each of January 1, 2022, January 1, 2023, January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025, subject to Mr. Farrell s continuous service on the applicable vesting date; provided, that if Mr. Farrell’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause,” by Mr. Farrell for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in Mr. Farrell’s employment agreement with the Company) or due to his death or permanent disability, all unvested restricted stock units will vest in full. In addition, in the event of a change in control, any unvested restricted stock units will vest subject to Mr. Farrell’s continuous service to the Company through such change in control.
