Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combination | NOTE 3. BUSINESS COMBINATION As discussed in Note 1, on August 27, 2021, GWAC, Merger Sub and Cipher Mining Technologies consummated the Business Combination (the “Closing”), with Cipher Mining Technologies surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cipher. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Cipher Mining Technologies common stock was canceled and converted into the right to receive 400,000 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). Upon the Closing, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock to 510,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share, of which, 500,000,000 shares are designated as Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”). The holder of each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, GWAC also entered into: (i) subscription agreements to sell to certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), an aggregate of 32,235,000 shares of Common Stock, immediately following the Closing, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and aggregate gross proceeds of $322.4 million (the “PIPE Financing”) and (ii) a subscription agreement with Bitfury Top HoldCo to sell to Bitfury Top HoldCo (or an affiliate of Bitfury Top HoldCo) an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock following the Closing, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and Bitfury Top HoldCo’s payment in cash and/or forgiveness of outstanding indebtedness for aggregate gross proceeds of $60.0 million (the “Bitfury Private Placement”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, all holders of Cipher Mining Technologies common stock received shares of the Company's Common Stock at $10.00 per share after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio, resulting in 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be immediately issued and outstanding to Bitfury Top HoldCo (in addition to 8,146,119 shares of Common Stock held by GWAC), 32,235,000 shares of Common Stock held by the PIPE Investors and 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock received by Bitfury Holding under the Bitfury Private Placement, based on the following events contemplated by the Merger Agreement: • the cancellation of each issued and outstanding share of Cipher Mining Technologies common stock; and • the conversion into the right to receive a number of shares of the Company's Common Stock based upon the Exchange Ratio.
