Hut 8 Mining Corp. Announces Overnight Marketed Public Offering of Units

10.06.2020  |  CNW
TORONTO, June 10, 2020 - Hut 8 Mining Corp. (TSX: HUT) (OTCQX: HUTMF) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), one of the world's largest public cryptocurrency mining companies by operating capacity and market capitalization, today announced it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus in connection with an overnight marketed public offering (the "Offering") of units of the Company (the "Units").

The Offering is to raise a minimum $7.5 million from the sale of Units at a price of $1.45 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share (a "Common Share") of the Company and one (1) common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $1.80 per share over a period of 18 months. The Offering is being led by Stifel GMP with a syndicate of underwriters including Canaccord Genuity Corp., Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. Gravitas Securities Inc., Haywood Securities Inc., and Richardson GMP Limited (collectively, the "Underwriters"). The final pricing, number of Units to be distributed and the exercise price and term for each Warrant will be determined in the course of marketing with final terms to be determined at the time of pricing. It is expected that a definitive underwriting agreement will be entered into between the Company and the Underwriters, following the successful marketing of the Offering.

The Company has agreed to grant the Underwriters an over-allotment option to sell up to an additional number of Units at the offering price as is equal to 15% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering, exercisable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the closing of the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering will be used for upgrading existing mining equipment with more efficient processing chips. Jimmy Vaiopoulos, Interim CEO, commented "the proceeds from this Offering will enable Hut 8 to upgrade a portion of its mining fleet by procuring and installing the most competitive and efficient chips available on the market from third-party suppliers, thereby maintaining the Company's global leadership position in bitcoin mining. The modular and interoperable nature of our BlockBox mining fleet, combined with extensive testing undertaken to ensure compatibility with these new chips, makes Hut 8 well prepared for this upgrade".

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about June 25, 2020, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

A preliminary short form prospectus containing important information relating to the Offering has been filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories in Canada, other than the Province of Québec and is still subject to completion or amendment. The preliminary short form prospectus is available via SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Units may be offered in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, and certain other jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This press release does not constitute an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such securities may not be offered or sold within the United States absent registration under U.S. federal and state securities laws or an applicable exemption from such U.S. registration requirements.


Financial Statement Refiling

Hut 8 also announced that the Company has restated and refiled its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and management discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The changes made are related to depreciation in the reporting and comparative period due to a change in the allocation of the 2018 impairment in property and equipment across mining servers and infrastructure. This was previously announced and corrected in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 but was not reflected in the comparative period and a clerical error adjustment was required in the reporting period in the most recent quarterly filings. There is no impact to the Company's reported Adjusted EBITDA.
