been focused on divesting the division to further streamline the existing operations within the Company and realise further shareholder value for the division.

Adisyn is delighted to advise that the Company and Metacorp have reached indicative terms for Metacorp to acquire 100% of the legal and beneficial interest in the Miner Hosting Assets, which the parties will now look to finalise into a legally binding agreement. The Proposed Divestment is for 100% of the legal and beneficial interest in physical assets only of the Company’s Miner Hosting business, and does not include any intellectual property developed by the Company within the Miner Hosting business.

The Company and Metacorp are working towards finalising and executing a binding asset sale agreement (“ ASA ”). The key indicative terms of the Proposed Divestment are included in Annexure A of this announcement (“ Indicative Terms” ). Should the parties execute a binding ASA, settlement of the Proposed Divestment will still remain subject to satisfaction of various Conditions Precedent outlined in Annexure A.

This announcement should be read in conjunction with the Indicative Terms. The Company is optimistic about concluding the ASA and the Proposed Divestment. However, the Indicative Terms remain subject to negotiation by the parties and the execution of the ASA for the Proposed Divestment. Completion under the ASA will be subject to a number of conditions, as set out in Annexure A. No binding agreement has been reached at this time and there is no certainty that the Proposed Divestment will eventuate. The Indicative Terms (and this announcement) is preliminary, incomplete and non-binding and does not constitute a commitment to proceed with the Proposed Acquisition.

As announced on 2 December 2024, completion of the Company’s acquisition of 2D Generation (ASX: 4 November 2024) is expected to take place following shareholder approval of the necessary resolutions to be sought at the general meeting scheduled for 19 December 2024, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent.
