Hut 8 Provides Update on Business Combination with USBTC
Hut 8 Mining Corp. (Nasdaq | TSX: HUT) (“Hut 8” or the “Company”), one of North America’s largest, innovation-focused digital asset mining pioneers, and high performance computing infrastructure provider, is pleased to announce that it has received a no–action letter from the Competition Bureau of Canada (“Competition Bureau”) in respect of the Company’s previously announced proposed business combination pursuant to which Hut 8 and U.S. Data Mining Group, Inc. dba US Bitcoin Corp. (“USBTC”) will combine in an all-stock merger of equals (the “Transaction”). The no-action letter confirms that the Competition Bureau does not, at this time, intend to challenge the Transaction before the Competition Tribunal under the merger provisions under the Competition Act.
“As we continue to work towards closing the proposed transaction with USBTC, the issuance of this no-action letter is a positive development as it satisfies the Competition Act Approval condition in the business combination agreement. We appreciate the Competition Bureau’s professionalism throughout its review process,” said Jamie Leverton, CEO of Hut 8.
Completion of the Transaction remains subject to the remaining regulatory approvals, shareholder approval, court approval, and other customary closing conditions of the Transaction.
