Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (NASDAQ:MIGI) (“Mawson”), a digital infrastructure provider, today announced it has entered into definitive agreements with CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLSK) (“CleanSpark”) to sell its Sandersville, Georgia Bitcoin Mining Facility, and 6,468 ASIC Bitcoin Miners to CleanSpark for up to a maximum total purchase price of $42.5 million, subject to reaching certain earn-out commitments, with closing expected in early October.

Mawson has executed definitive documentation to sell its Sandersville, Georgia Bitcoin Mining Facility for approximately $33 million plus power deposits, at a premium to book value, and 6468 ASIC Bitcoin Miners for an additional $9.48 million. As part of the $33 million of consideration, Mawson will receive up to approximately $11 Million in CleanSpark stock ($4.5 million of which is subject to meeting certain earn-out commitments), which if the full amount is achieved would result in Mawson owning approximately 5.5% of the outstanding common stock of CleanSpark (calculated as of today’s date).

Mawson intends to use the proceeds of sale to reduce debt and to focus near-term expansion activities at its Midland and Sharon Bitcoin Mining Facilities in Pennsylvania, with total energy capacity available for Bitcoin Mining of 220 megawatts. Mawson’s existing and pipeline sites include its Australian operations and its 120-megawatt Bitcoin Mining Facility in Texas. These sites combined have a cumulative 360 megawatts of energy capacity available for Bitcoin Mining, which is capable of operating at approximately 12.0 Exahash.¹

The agreement has been approved by the organizations’ respective boards of directors and is subject to customary closing conditions. CleanSpark and Mawson expect to close the transaction in early October.

James Manning, CEO and Founder of Mawson, said, “We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the CleanSpark team on this transaction, and look forward to working closely with them going forward. We now intend to focus our attention on the continued development of our Pennsylvania and Texas facilities where we see the opportunity for compelling returns on capital. We would like to sincerely thank the City of Sandersville for welcoming us into their community and being high quality partners over the last several years.”

Zach Bradford, CEO of CleanSpark, said, “We are pleased to welcome Mawson’s Sandersville site and its operating teams into the CleanSpark family. The site is nothing but impressive—well-run by over 20 dedicated professionals who have taken significant pride in the design, development, and maintenance of the site. We are enthusiastic about Georgia and believe that our expansion there will continue to build value for our shareholders and the communities we operate in throughout Georgia.”
