The Transactions

 

Transaction with American Data Centers Inc.

 

On March 31, 2025, Hut 8 Corp. ("Hut 8"), American Data Centers Inc. ("ADC"), and the stockholders of ADC entered into a Contribution and Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which Hut 8 contributed to ADC substantially all of Hut 8’s wholly-owned ASIC miners, representing the business of the Company, in exchange for newly issued Class B Common Stock of ADC, representing 80% of the total and combined voting power and 80% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ADC after giving effect to the issuance (the "Transactions"). Prior to the effectiveness of the Transactions, the Company did not operate as a standalone company and instead operated as the "ASIC compute" sub-segment of Hut 8’s "Compute" segment. In connection with the Transactions, ADC was renamed American Bitcoin Corp. ("Historical ABTC") and became a majority-owned subsidiary of Hut 8. The Transactions did not meet the business combination criteria under FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The net book value of the assets contributed by Hut 8, representing the business of the Company, was $126.4 million consisting of $121.1 million contributed in March 2025 and $5.3 million contributed in April 2025. Hut 8 incurred $1.5 million in transaction costs related to the Transactions.

In connection with the Transactions, Hut 8 and the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement and a Master Colocation Services Agreement providing for Hut 8 and its personnel to perform day-to-day commercial and operational management services and ASIC colocation services to the Company, respectively, in each case on an exclusive basis for so long as such agreements remain in effect. Hut 8 and the Company also entered into a Shared Services Agreement, pursuant to which Hut 8 and its personnel would provide back-office support services to the Company.
