Peterson McVicar Acts for HIVE Blockchain in $110,020,000 Bought Deal Private Placement Financing

On November 9, 2021 HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (the “Company” or “HIVE”) announced that it had entered into an agreement with Stifel GMP as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner to include a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”), whereby the Underwriters will purchase, on a bought-deal basis, 16,670,000 special warrants of the Company (the “Special Warrants”) at a price of $6.00 per Special Warrant for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $100,020,000 (the “Offering”).

The Company will grant the Underwriters an option to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional 15% of the Special Warrants sold under the Offering, exercisable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time up to 48 hours prior to the Closing Date.

The Company anticipates the net proceeds of the Offering will be used for a program of data centre development and miner / ASIC acquisition to increase hashrate by on one Exahash per second, working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes.

HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. went public in 2017 as the first cryptocurrency mining company with a green energy and ESG strategy.

HIVE is a growth-oriented technology stock in the emergent blockchain industry. As a company whose shares trade on a major stock exchange, we are building a bridge between the digital currency and blockchain sector and traditional capital markets. HIVE owns state-of-the-art, green energy-powered data centre facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Iceland, where we source only green energy to mine on the cloud and HODL both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Since the beginning of 2021, HIVE has held in secure storage the majority of its ETH and BTC coin mining rewards. Our shares provide investors with exposure to the operating margins of digital currency mining, as well as a portfolio of cryptocurrencies such as ETH and BTC. Because HIVE also owns hard assets such as data centers and advanced multi-use servers, we believe our shares offer investors an attractive way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency space.
