Hut 8 Mining Corp (HUT) Announces $200M At-The-Market Equity Program

August 17, 2022 4:39 PM EDT

Hut 8 Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: HUT) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an equity distribution agreement dated August 17, 2022 (the "ATM Agreement") with Canaccord Genuity and Stifel (the "Agents"), pursuant to which the Company established an at-the-market equity program (the "ATM Program").

Pursuant to the ATM Program, the Company may, at its discretion and from time-to-time during the term of the ATM Agreement, sell, through the Agents, such number of common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") as would result in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to US$200,000,000. Sales of Common Shares, if any, through the Agents will be made through "at-the-market" issuances, including without limitation, sales made directly on the Nasdaq Stock Market in the United States at the market price prevailing at the time of each sale. No Common Shares will be offered or sold under the ATM Program on the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other marketplace in Canada. The ATM Program may be terminated, with notice, by either party at any time.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the ATM Program, if any, principally for general corporate purposes (including funding ongoing operations and/or working capital requirements). The net proceeds of the ATM Program may also be used to repay indebtedness outstanding from time to time, discretionary capital programs, and potential acquisitions. Since the Common Shares will be distributed at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale, prices may vary between purchasers and during the period of distribution. The volume and timing of sales, if any, will be determined at the sole discretion of the Company and in accordance with the terms of the ATM Agreement.

Prior to commencing the ATM Program, the Company terminated the at the market offering agreement between the Company and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC related to its previous at-the-market offering of Common Shares for aggregate proceeds of up to US$65 million, which was launched on February 11, 2022.

The offer and sale of the Common Shares under the ATM Program will be made by means of a prospectus supplement dated August 17, 2022 (the "Prospectus Supplement") which supplements the Company's existing short form base shelf prospectus dated August 5, 2022 (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") included in the Company's U.S. registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-266608) under the U.S.-Canada multijurisdictional disclosure system (the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 10, 2022. Copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement can be found on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and copies of the Base Shelf Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Copies of such documents may also be obtained from: Canaccord Genuity LLC, Attention: Syndicate Department, 99 High Street, 12th Floor, Boston MA 021990 or by email at [email protected].

Such documents contain important information about the ATM Program. Prospective investors should read the Base Shelf Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement as well as the Registration Statement before making an investment decision.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these Common Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
