EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is being filed by Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (the “Company”) to register an additional 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), issuable under the Company’s 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The registration of 5,000,000 additional shares under the Plan is pursuant to the provision in the Plan which provides for annual automatic increases in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan. In addition, shares of Common Stock delivered (either by actual delivery or attestation) to the Company by a participant to (i) satisfy the applicable exercise or purchase price of an award, and/or (ii) satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligation, in each case, shall be added to the number of shares of Common Stock available for the grant of awards under the Plan. Therefore, an additional 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock are being registered hereunder for those purposes.

 

The Company previously filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 on June 21, 2024 (File No. 333-280370) relating to the Plan (the “Prior Registration Statement”).
