    <p style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>CEO Comments</b></u></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">"I am very excited about our future and remain committed to becoming a leading carbon-neutral Bitcoin mining company and to generating long-term value for our shareholders.&#160; Our Company's transition is progressing as anticipated, and I am grateful for the support of our shareholders and partners," said Patti Trompeter, CEO of Sphere 3D.&#160;</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">"Being named CEO of Sphere 3D and becoming the first female minority CEO in the Bitcoin mining industry is one of the greatest honors of my career.&#160; I look forward to working with the board of directors, our future advisory board, and the Sphere 3D management team during our expansion into Bitcoin mining and the broader blockchain technology industry.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">"Our mining operation continues to grow and produce as expected.&#160; We are excited to be on track as we look to expand our fleet of S19j Pros by the end of 2022," added Ms. Trompeter. "We are disappointed that we have not yet received the 12 NM440 test units from NuMiner.&#160; It is important to keep the NuMiner arrangement in perspective.&#160; The agreement to acquire the NM440 fleet was a low-risk option to purchase what was presented as the best mining technology in the industry.&#160; If the NM440 units are not received or fail to perform according to NuMiner specifications, the Company can cancel the contract.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">"During the quarter we announced the termination of the Gryphon merger.&#160; It is our belief that terminating the merger was in the best our shareholders, as the transaction was expected to cause significant dilution, and is also in the best interest of our long-term growth opportunities.</p>
    <hr style="page-break-after: always; text-align: center;" width="100%" size="5" color="black" noshade="noshade"><a name="page_2"></a>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">"Looking forward, our mining fleet will expand consistent with the amended delivery schedule below, and our production capacity will increase accordingly.&#160; We are working with Jefferies LLC, our financial adviser, to identify the most appropriate financing options to fund the expansion of our fleet, and we are exploring new growth areas in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries," added Trompeter.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>First Quarter FY 2022 Operational Updates Results:</b></u></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Management and Board of Director Changes</b></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">Sphere 3D announced on April 5, 2022, the appointments of Patricia Trompeter as Sphere 3D's CEO and Duncan McEwan as Chairman of the Board of Directors.&#160; The Company also announced its intention to expand the board of directors to five members and its desire to establish an advisory board comprising senior executives from the blockchain, cryptocurrency, and related industries.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Bitcoin Production and Holdings Update</b></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">Sphere 3D had 1,000 S19j Pro mining units installed and operational representing about 100 petahash of capacity to the network at the end of April 2022.&#160; Through the first four months of 2022, the Company mined a total 30.50 Bitcoin.&#160;</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">Sphere 3D will provide unaudited Bitcoin Production and Holdings Updates monthly beginning in early June 2022 and as part of its quarterly results reporting.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><b>New Auditor Appointment</b></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">The Company appointed MaloneBailey, LLP, to serve as its new independent public accounting firm and independent auditor, effective May 4, 2022.&#160; MaloneBailey is a well-respected global accounting and audit firm with a broad scope of services and expertise that will support the Company's long-term growth.&#160; The Company's long-time auditor, Smythe LLP, has a policy that prevents the firm from engaging cryptocurrency-related companies.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">The Board would like to thank Smythe LLP for their services and guidance during the preceding years.&#160; The Company is working closely with both firms to ensure a seamless transition.</p>
