The Company expects to enter into a definitive agreement and expects the transaction to be completed in the coming weeks, subject to the customary conditions, and the miners are expected to be delivered to the Company’s U.S. mining facility upon assigning of the definitive agreement. As the transaction proceeds, the Company will publicly disclose required information either through press releases or SEC filings, as appropriate.

Mr. Lucas Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “The proposed asset purchase plan from the LOI will greatly enhance our hash rate capacity, and it is another important approach in our growth strategies to expand our business since we have completed our new company name change. Under the guidance of our strong leadership, we will continue to source the best miners at competitive pricing with strong relationships in the industry.
