CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) today addressed the trading halt imposed by Nasdaq following an issue relating to the calculation of the number of outstanding warrants (Nasdaq: CLSKW) (the "Warrants") and the number of shares underlying those Warrants. The trading halt is not the result of any issue associated with CleanSpark's business, operations, filings with the SEC, financial statements or securities.
The Warrants were originally issued by GRIID Infrastructure, Inc. ("GRIID") and converted into CleanSpark warrants in connection with the Company's acquisition of GRIID on October 30, 2024. In connection with the consummation of the acquisition of GRIID, and pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the Warrants were to be adjusted to reflect the merger exchange ratio of 0.069593885 of a share of the Company's common stock for each share of GRIID common stock. As a result, the outstanding 13,800,000 Warrants are to represent the right to purchase an aggregate of 960,395 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $165.24 for each full share. However, the exchange ratio was erroneously applied to the Warrants in certain documentation, including the listing application filed with Nasdaq.
The Company contacted representatives of Nasdaq promptly upon becoming aware of this issue and is working diligently to resolve this issue and allow trading of its common stock and Warrants to resume.
