Entry into Material Agreements
As of July 11, 2025, the Company has 8,307,583 class A Ordinary shares, par value $0.40 per share (“Ordinary Shares”) issued
and outstanding.
As announced on June 17, 2025, the Company entered
into three agreements to expand its Bitcoin treasury.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On June 16, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with certain purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and Anson
Investments Master Fund L.P., acting through its general partner AIMF GP LLC, as collateral agent for the Purchasers (the “Agent”).
The SPA provides for the issuance and sale of securities, as further described herein, of the Company to the Purchasers, pursuant to an
exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
Initial Closing. Under the terms of the SPA,
on the Initial Closing Date (as defined in the SPA), the Company agreed to sell, and the Purchasers agreed to purchase, securities for
an aggregate subscription amount of $27,000,000, comprising of senior secured convertible notes (“Initial Notes”),
warrants (“Initial Warrants”), and ordinary shares, par value $0.40 per share (“Ordinary Shares”).
The closing of the foregoing transactions is referred to as the “Initial Closing.” The obligations of the Company and
the Purchasers at the Initial Closing were subject to certain customary closing conditions. The SPA also included mutual representations
and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions customary for similar transactions.
The Initial Notes mature on July 1, 2027, are convertible
into Ordinary Shares at the conversion price set forth therein, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Initial Warrants are
exercisable for Ordinary Shares immediately and expire five years from the date of issuance, at an exercise price set forth therein, subject
to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Holders are subject to beneficial ownership limitations consistent with market practice.
The Initial Closing took place on July 1, 2025. At
the Initial Closing, the parties also executed certain security agreements.
Maxim Partners LLC (“Maxim”) acted
as placement agent for the transaction. At the Initial Closing, the Company issued a warrant to Maxim to purchase Ordinary Shares, on
terms set forth therein, which warrant is exercisable immediately and expires five years from the date of issuance.
Additional Closing. The SPA also contemplates
an optional additional closing (“Additional Closing”), pursuant to which the Company may sell, and the Purchasers may
purchase, upon mutual written consent, additional securities for an aggregate subscription amount of up to $275,000,000, comprising additional
Senior Secured Convertible Notes and warrants. The obligations of the Company and the Purchasers at the Additional Closing are subject
to conditions similar to those for the Initial Closing, with the additional condition for the Purchasers that no Event of Default (as
defined in the Notes) shall have occurred or be continuing.
Pursuant to the SPA, net proceeds from the offering
are to be used exclusively for purchasing Bitcoin, are required to be deposited into a cash collateral account, and are subject to release
only under specified conditions.
The notes are secured by a first-priority security
interest in certain assets of the Company, including cash and Bitcoin holdings, pursuant to customary security agreements. Release of
the collateral is subject to customary conditions.
The foregoing description of the SPA does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the SPA, the Initial Notes and the
Initial Warrants, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by
reference.
ELOC Ordinary Share Purchase Agreement
As announced on June 17, 2025, on June 16, 2025, the
Company entered into an Ordinary Share Purchase Agreement (the “ELOC SPA”) with Anson Investments Master Fund LP and
Anson East Master Fund LP (each a “Co-Investor” and the Co-Investors together, the “Investor”).
Pursuant to the ELOC SPA, the Company may issue and sell to the Investor, from time to time, up to $200,000,000 (the “Total Commitment”)
in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued Ordinary Shares, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b)
of Regulation D.
The Company has the right, but not the obligation,
to sell shares under the ELOC SPA, subject to customary conditions, including effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale
of such shares. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from any sales under the ELOC SPA primarily to acquire additional bitcoin
for its corporate treasury.
The foregoing description of the ELOC SPA does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ELOC SPA, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated
herein by reference.

ELOC SPA, on June 16, 2025, the Company and the Investors also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement to register under the Securities
Act, among other things, the resale of the Shares issued pursuant to the SPA and the ELOC SPA, as well as all warrant shares and shares
issued upon conversion under the SPA, as well as any capital stock issued or issuable with respect to the foregoing due to stock splits,
dividends, recapitalizations, or similar events.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Company is required to register the resale of such securities by filing a registration statement with the SEC within 15 days of the applicable
closing date and to use its reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC by the earlier of
(i) the 45th calendar day after the closing date (or 60th day if subject to SEC full review) or (ii) the 2nd business day after SEC notification
that the registration statement will not be reviewed.

Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights
Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5 and incorporated herein by reference.
