CleanSpark Completes Acquisition of Mawson’s Sandersville Facility

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CleanSpark Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) (“CleanSpark”), America’s Bitcoin Miner™, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc.’s (Nasdaq: MIGI) (“Mawson”) bitcoin mining facility in Sandersville, Georgia, effective October 8. The acquisition includes nearly 6,500 miners, or about 560 petahashes per second (PH/s). Mawson’s former staff at the site have transitioned to CleanSpark’s team.

The Sandersville site is CleanSpark’s fourth campus in Georgia, with other locations in College Park, Norcross, and Washington. The company co-locates machines in Massena, NY, and has co-location agreements with Lancium in West Texas, slated to start hashing in 2023. Including Sandersville, CleanSpark operates about 220 MW of bitcoin miners with a hashrate of over 4.7 EH/s. CleanSpark draws power predominantly from low-carbon sources, such as nuclear energy, and boasts a clean energy profile that is over 90% non-carbon.

“Mawson has built a world-class facility, staffed by an incredible team, and we are looking forward to continuing their work in Sandersville, eventually building this site to its full potential of 230 MW as we work toward our 2023 year-end guidance of 22.4 EH/s,” said Zach Bradford, CleanSpark’s CEO. “We are equally committed to deepening and developing our relationship with the people of Sandersville as we build sustainable bitcoin infrastructure.”  

CleanSpark has a strong tradition of supporting the communities it operates in. It has invested over $275 million in Georgia communities, which includes property and energy infrastructure upgrades, equipment and hardware investments, over 80 highly skilled and skilled jobs, scholarships, and various community sponsorships.

In accordance with the definitive agreements, Mawson received at closing consideration of approximately $34.3 million, which includes 1,590,175 shares of CleanSpark common stock, subject to certain holdbacks. Mawson may receive an additional $2 million in a seller-financed earn-out payable after 60 days post-closing once certain conditions are met. 

H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as financial advisor to CleanSpark. Baker Donelson and Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP served as legal counsel for CleanSpark in connection with the transaction.
