Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 24, 2025, Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (the “MVLS Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the last 33 consecutive business days prior to the date of the MVLS Notice, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was less than the $35.0 million minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Staff has provided the Company with 180 calendar days, or until July 23, 2025, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. The MVLS Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and the Company’s common stock continues to trade under the symbol “MIGI.”
If the Company regains compliance with the MVLS Rule during the 180-day compliance period ending on July 23, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), the Staff will provide written confirmation to the Company and close the matter. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the Company’s MVLS must meet or exceed $35.0 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period (unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend such ten business day period under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)). In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule prior to the expiration of the Compliance Period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Company will continue to monitor its MVLS and consider its available options to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule during the Compliance Period or otherwise maintain compliance with the MVLS Rule or the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed by the Company, the Company and two of its subsidiaries, Luna Squares, LLC (“Luna Squares”) and Cosmos Infrastructure LLC have been made respondents in certain arbitration proceedings filed by Celsius Network Ltd., Celsius Mining LLC, and Ionic Digital Mining LLC (collectively “Celsius”) on July 18, 2024, with the American Arbitration Association in the matter entitled, “Celsius Network Ltd., Celsius Mining LLC, and Ionic Digital Mining LLC v. Mawson Infrastructure Group, Luna Squares LLC, and Cosmos Infrastructure LLC - Case 01-24-0006-4462”. The Company and Luna Squares have denied Celsius’ claims in arbitration. In addition, the Company has filed counter claims and cross claims against Celsius alleging claims and damages of $6,957,226.01 in unpaid invoices and $115,000,000 in breach of contract damages, plus interest and attorney fees, against Celsius.
On January 23, 2025, the arbitrator issued a Partial Final Award (the “Partial Final Award”) granting in part Celsius’ claim against Luna Squares on the outstanding promissory note executed by Luna Squares in favor of Celsius. The Partial Final Award granted Celsius monetary damages in the amount of $8,144,000, plus interest and attorney fees. The ruling does not directly affect the Company, and the guarantee of the Company for the promissory note has not been litigated. In addition, the Company’s counterclaims and damages against Celsius are still in litigation and the Company continues to pursue its counterclaims and damages expeditiously.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company cautions that statements in this report that are not a description of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words referencing future events or circumstances such as “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” and “will,” among others. Examples of forward-looking statements herein include, among others, statements regarding the Company’s ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards and anticipated actions to be taken by Nasdaq in the future.
Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company’s current expectations and involve assumptions that may never materialize or may prove to be incorrect. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, the possibility of the Company’s need and ability to raise additional capital, the development and acceptance of digital asset networks and digital assets and their protocols and software, the reduction in incentives to mine digital assets over time, the costs associated with digital asset mining, the volatility in the value and prices of cryptocurrencies, further or new regulation of digital assets, the evolution of the AI and HPC market and changing technologies, the slower than expected growth in demand for AI, HPC and other accelerated computing technologies than expected, the ability to timely implement and execute on AI and HPC digital infrastructure, and the ability to timely complete the digital infrastructure build-out in order to achieve its revenue expectations for the periods mentioned. More detailed information about the risks and uncertainties affecting the Company is contained under the heading “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 15, 2024, August 19, 2024, and November 14, 2024, and in other filings that the Company has made and may make with the SEC in the future. One should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they were made. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
