Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreements.

 

On October 12, 2017, MGT Capital Investments, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into two management agreements (each, a “Management Agreement”, collectively “Management Agreements”) with two accredited investors (“Users”), respectively, on substantially similar terms whereby Users agreed to purchase a total number of 1,944 Bitmain Antminer S9 mining computers (the “Bitcoin Hardware”) to mine bitcoins with the Company acting as the exclusive manager for each of the Users. Pursuant to the Management Agreements, the Company shall install, host, maintain, repair and provide ancillary services necessary to operate the Bitcoin Hardware. In accordance with each of the Management Agreements, the Company will receive a management fee that equals 10% of the total bitcoins produced by each User’s Bitcoin Hardware and share the respective net profits of such bitcoin mining operation with each User. In connection with the Management Agreements, the Company issued 193,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a Series F Warrant to purchase 193,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share exercisable for a period of three years to one User and 154,400 shares of the Company’s common stock and another Series F Warrant to purchase 154,400 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share exercisable for a period of three years to the other User. On the same day, the Company executed the two Series F Warrants for the benefits of the two Users as described above. As a condition to the execution of the two Management Agreements, each of the two Users signed an Acknowledgement and Acceptance Agreement, respectively, to acknowledge its accredited investor status as defined in the Securities Act and investment sophistication and experience, among other things.

Management Agreement

 

This Management Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated October 12, 2017 (“Effective Date”), is entered into between MGT Capital Investments, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Provider”), and ______ LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“User”, and together with Provider, the “Parties”, and each, a “Party”).

 

WHEREAS, Provider is in the business of, among other things, mining bitcoins and providing services to manage and operate bitcoin mining business on behalf of the owners of bitcoin mining hardware;

 

WHEREAS, User was formed for the sole purpose of mining bitcoins with the Provider and/or one of Provider’s operating subsidiaries as its exclusive manager of its bitcoin mining business, as described in greater detail herein;

 

WHEREAS, based on Provider’s recommendation, User intends to purchase 1,080 Bitmain Antminer S9 mining computers together with customized power supplies and freight ( the “Bitcoin Hardware” ) subject to adjustments as Provider sees fit and suitable, for an aggregate price of $_____, inclusive of duties and installation expenses, payable to the seller of the Bitcoin Hardware;

 

WHEREAS, User desires to engage Provider to mine bitcoins and service and maintain the Bitcoin Hardware on its behalf and in return share profits with, and pay the operating fees to, Provider as specified below.

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Services.

 

(a) Services . Beginning on the date of delivery of the Bitcoin Hardware to the location(s) as designated by Provider, User engages Provider to provide the Services (as defined below) and Provider agrees to provide the Services to User. For purposes of this Agreement, “Services” shall include selecting, acquiring, installing, hosting, maintaining and repairing the Bitcoin Hardware, providing the computer programs, networking interconnectivity, electricity and associated facilities and staffing necessary to mine bitcoins. User is undertaking the task of bitcoin mining on User’s own behalf only, at User’s own risk and for User’s own benefits. Provider, if required by User, will contract to guarantee the supply of electricity necessary for the Bitcoin Hardware to function for one year from the date of delivery of the Bitcoin Hardware.

 

(b) Initial Payments . Upon User’s execution of a purchase order or bill of sale to purchase the Bitcoin Hardware, User shall i) make a payment to Provider in an amount of $__ (the “Initial Electricity Cost”) to cover the Electricity Costs (as defined below) of the first three months of the bitcoin mining operations; ii) transfer funds in an amount of $_______ (the “Bitcoin Hardware Price”) to the seller of the Bitcoin Hardware (the “Seller”) and iii) direct the Seller to deliver such Bitcoin Hardware to the locations as specified by Provider. User is not required to provide further capital beyond the Bitcoin Hardware Price and Initial Electricity Cost.

 

(c) Distribution of Mined Bitcoins . The bitcoins produced by the Bitcoin Hardware (the “Products”) will be collected by Provider, and Provider will distribute a portion of the Products to User (the “User Distribution Portion”) after deducting the Operating Fee and Electricity Costs, on a weekly basis, within one business day of the week following each week when the Bitcoin Hardware is in operation. Provider shall distribute the User Distribution Portion in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to User’s Digital Currency Wallet as defined below. The User Distribution Portion will equal fifty percent (50%) of the Products remaining after deducting the Operating Fee and Electricity Costs as described below.

 

(d) Operating Fee . User shall pay to Provider, as a deduction before the distribution of the User Distribution Portion, the operating fee (the “Operating Fee”), which will equal ten percent (10%) of the gross Products. The Operating Fee shall be paid weekly in arrears simultaneously with the User Distribution Portion. The Operating Fee will be used by Provider for the purposes of, without limitation, providing operating personnel to monitor and maintain the Bitcoin Hardware, purchasing insurance for, and providing maintenance and repair of the Bitcoin Hardware, as well as any other expenses associated with the performance of User’s Services, with the express limitation that the Operating Fee does not include Electricity Costs.

 

(e) Electricity Costs . In addition to the Operating Fee, User agrees to pay, on a weekly basis, the expenses and costs of the electrical power required to operate the Bitcoin Hardware, together with the hosting fees and ancillary power needed for the facilities where the Bitcoin Hardware resides (collectively, “Electricity Costs”). Electricity Costs will be paid to an unrelated party chosen by Provider, and will be paid in U.S. dollars monetized from the Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Electricity Cost for the first three months following delivery of the Bitcoin Hardware shall be reimbursed to User in the form of Products within the first three months of operation.

 

 
 

 

(f) User’s Digital Currency Wallet . As part of engaging Provider to perform the Services, User is required to create and maintain a digital currency wallet (“User’s Digital Currency Wallet”). User’s Digital Currency Wallet is the address that User provides to Provider, as instructed by User from time to time, for the payment to User of the User Distribution Portion and transfer of bitcoins pursuant to this Agreement. Provider does not operate User’s Digital Currency Wallet. User is solely responsible for maintaining and controlling User’s Digital Currency Wallet. For the avoidance of doubt, Provider has no liability for any operation or failure of User’s Digital Currency Wallet.

 

(g) User’s Acknowledgement. Because Services may entail financial risks on both User and Provider, concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, User and each of its member investors shall sign the User Acknowledgement and Acceptance Agreement dated on the Effective Date.

 

(h) Restrictions and Prohibitions on User . User shall not use the Services or the content or information delivered through the Services to conduct any business or activity or solicit the performance of any activity for any illegal, fraudulent, unauthorized or improper purposes. User shall comply with all applicable constitutions, laws, ordinances, principles of common law, codes, regulations, statutes or treaties and all applicable orders, rulings, instructions, requirements, directives or requests of any courts, regulators or other governmental authorities in connection with User’s use of the Services. User agrees that User shall not attempt to: (a) access any software or part of the Services without consent from Provider; (b) access the Bitcoin Hardware without notice to Provider; or (c) interfere in any manner with the provision of the Services or Provider’s software, or otherwise abuse the Services or Provider’s software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, User is entitled to physical access to view the Bitcoin Hardware with reasonable notice to Provider.

 

(i) Residual Value of the Bitcoin Hardware. Provider shall have the right to determine, in good faith, the retirement of each piece of the Bitcoin Hardware purchased by the User and dispose thereof in Provider’s sole discretion, after the expiration of the term of this Agreement. After the disposition, each of Provider and User shall be entitled to fifty percent (50%) of the consideration received on the sale of each piece of the Bitcoin Hardware, exclusive any cost and expenses associated with such disposition.

 

(j) Provider’s Securities. Upon transferring the Bitcoin Hardware Price to the Seller and Initial Electricity Cost to Provider, as an incentive or inducement for User entering into this Agreement, Provider shall issue or cause to be issued to the User Provider’s restricted common stock (ticker: OTC QB: MGTI) of 193,000 shares together with a warrant to purchase 193,000 shares of Provider’s common stock at a price of $2.00 per share (the shares and warrant being collectively referred as “MGT Securities”).

 

(k) Ownership .

 

1) Ownership of Technology. This Agreement does not transfer to User any ownership or proprietary rights in the Technology (as defined below) or any work or any part thereof, and all right, title and interest in and to the Technology will remain solely with Provider. User is not purchasing title to any Technology. User is permitted to use Technology to the extent and for the sole purposes of enabling User to benefit from the Services in the manner permitted by this Agreement. User’s rights under this Agreement are not transferable to any other person absent Provider’s prior express written consent. User shall not in any manner duplicate the Technology or use the Technology independently other than as set forth above, and Provider grants no license, whether express or implied, in any copyright, patent or any other intellectual property rights embodied in the Technology. For purposes of this Agreement, “Technology” shall mean the computer programs Provider uses, literary works, audiovisual works, all other original works of expression, methods, apparati and processes that Provider publishes, distributes, uses or otherwise exploits to facilitate User’s use of the Services, and includes without limitation any software, software tools, user interface designs, and any derivatives, improvements, enhancements or extensions thereof developed or provided by Provider and used in the provision of the Services.

 

2) Ownership of the Bitcoin Hardware. User shall be the sole owner of the Bitcoin Hardware upon making the payment of the Bitcoin Hardware Purchase Price.

 

(l) Insurance . The Provider shall maintain insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as are customarily maintained by similar businesses. All such policies of insurance shall be in full force and effect throughout the duration of the provision of the Services to User and shall name the User as an additional insured, if practicable.

 

(m) Competition . User knows and acknowledges that there may be theoretical or practical competition between User and Provider respecting bitcoin mining and bitcoin trading. User hereby waives any and all potential and existing conflict of interest that Provider may have in providing Services pursuant to this Agreement.

SCHEDULE I

 

Disclosure Statement

 

The following description of the key terms of the Management Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Management Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A , which is incorporated herein by reference. Defined terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Management Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the LLC will purchase certain Bitcoin Hardware as specified by MGT and engage MGT as the exclusive manager to operate the LLC’s bitcoin mining business. In accordance with the Management Agreement, MGT agrees to select, acquire, install, host, maintain and repair the Bitcoin Hardware and provide associated facilities and services necessary to mine bitcoins. MGT and the LLC share equally the net profits generated from the bitcoin mining operation, after deducting Electricity Costs and Operating Fee. As an inducement for the LLC to enter into the Management Agreement, MGT agreed to issue to the LLC (i) 193,000 restricted shares of MGT’s common stock; and (ii) a warrant to purchase 193,000 shares of MGT common stock.

 

Risk Factors

 

The following list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved in investing in the LLC, investing in the Company Securities or holding a direct or indirect interest in the Business, whether operated pursuant to the Management Agreement or otherwise. Individuals should review the Investment Documents, the SEC Reports, this Disclosure Statement and all schedules, exhibits and other information incorporated herein by reference in their entirety and consult with their own advisers before making any decision to invest in the LLC, the Company Securities or acknowledge their understanding of the Management Agreement or the Business.

 

RISKS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS AND CRYPTOCURRENCIES

 

There are substantial risks to be aware of when mining and holding cryptocurrencies, including BitCoins, which generally apply to the LLC, the Business and the subject matter of the Management Agreement:

 

  1. Losing a digital wallet of coins: a wallet could be lost by either locking yourself out by forgetting your password or by physically losing the wallet via a broken hard drive or if your online wallet provider goes out of business.
     
  2. Hacking and Malware: It is possible that a talented hacker can break into a mining pool and empty any of the users’ wallets, including the LLC’s wallet. In addition, it is possible for cryptocurrency-mining malware to infect mining machines. Such malware steals the resources of infected machines, significantly affecting their performance and increasing their wear and tear and could involve other costs, like increased power consumption.

 

 
 

 

  3. Cryptocurrency are subject to significant price fluctuation and may drop in value and any anticipated profits from mining such cryptocurrencies or the recovery of your initial investment could be lost. The price (cryptocurrency exchange rates such as USD/BTC) of Bitcoin and/or any other cryptocurrency may fall sharply and may even fall to zero;
     
  4. Certain risk effecting value of Cryptocurrencies. Due to the fact that cryptocurrencies are unregulated and decentralized, their value is not insured by any legal entities. The value of any amount of any cryptocurrency is subject to change due to a number of factors out of the LLC’s, MGT’s and your control. These factors include but are not limited to changes of mining difficulty and/or other mining parameters/properties, fluctuating cryptocurrency exchange rates (such as USD/BTC), obsolescence of hardware and amortization of hardware. You understand and agree that the value of any amount of mined cryptocurrency may lose all worth at any moment of time due to the nature of cryptocurrencies.
     
  5. Bitcoins vs. other cryptocurrencies. It is possible that a competing cryptocurrency becomes more successful than Bitcoin or that somebody somehow finds a major flaw in the system.
     
  6. Cryptocurrencies are sometimes used or exploited in any way that is prohibited by the laws or regulations, with which, in the event you are distributed any cryptocurrencies, you agree to comply.
     
  7. Transactions with Cryptocurrencies may be unconfirmed for a period of time. Although very unlikely, some Cryptocurrency transactions may never be confirmed. Cryptocurrency transactions which are unconfirmed are not completed.
     
  8. Transactions with cryptocurrencies are irreversible - if you send any amount of any Cryptocurrency to the wrong person, for example, you may be unable to recover those funds.
     
  9. Unknown technical defects inherent in cryptocurrencies may exist.
     
  10. New regulation which impacts cryptocurrencies could be enacted.

 

The following is a more in-depth, but by no means complete, analysis of certain key risks to which the LLC and MGT are subject and under which the benefits of the Management Agreement may be affected (references to “us”, “we”, “our” and similar terms refer to collectively the LLC, MGT and the Business operated pursuant to the Management Agreement, unless context dictates otherwise):

 

 
 

 

The loss or destruction of a private key required to access a cryptocurrency may be irreversible. Our loss of access to our private keys or our experience of a data loss relating to our cryptocurrencies could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Cryptocurrencies are controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public key and private key relating to the local or online digital wallet in which the cryptocurrencies are held. We are required by the operation of the cryptocurrency network to publish the public key relating to a digital wallet in use by us when it first verifies a spending transaction from that digital wallet and disseminates such information into the cryptocurrency network. To the extent a private key is lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised and no backup of the private key is accessible, we will be unable to access the cryptocurrencies held in the related digital wallet and the private key will not be capable of being restored by the cryptocurrency network. Any loss of private keys relating to digital wallets used to store our cryptocurrencies could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

The further development and acceptance of the cryptocurrency network, which represent a new and rapidly changing industry, are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of the cryptocurrency network would have an adverse material effect on our business.

 

Cryptocurrencies, such as cryptocurrencies, may be used, among other things, to buy and sell goods and services are a new and rapidly evolving industry of which the bitcoin network is a prominent, but not unique, part. The growth of the cryptocurrency industry in general, and the bitcoin network in particular, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development of the cryptocurrency industry, as well as the bitcoin network, include, without limitation:

 

  continued worldwide growth in the adoption and use of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies;
     
  government and quasi-government regulation of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of the bitcoin network or similar cryptocurrencies systems;
     
  the maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the bitcoin network or similar cryptocurrencies systems;
     
  changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences;
     
  the availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, including new means of using digital or fiat currencies; and
     
  general economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to cryptocurrencies.

 

A decline in the popularity or acceptance of the bitcoin network or similar cryptocurrencies systems would adversely affect our business.

 

The price of cryptocurrency is extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of cryptocurrencies could materially and adversely affect our business.

 

 
 

 

The price of cryptocurrency is a significant uncertainty for our business. The price of cryptocurrencies is subject to dramatic fluctuations. Using an exponential moving average and volume weighting of transaction data, the price of cryptocurrency is quoted by several publicly-available indexes, including the Coindesk price index, which derives from the transaction prices on electronic market places where exchange participants may use fiat currency to trade, buy and sell cryptocurrencies based on bid-ask trading (“Cryptocurrency Exchange”). Though the methodology may change in the future, these indexes use US Dollar-denominated trading data from qualified Cryptocurrency Exchanges with high trading volume in cryptocurrencies. The price of cryptocurrencies (the “Spot Price”) has fluctuated widely over the past three years. For example, the price of a bitcoin reached a high of approximately $1,216 in November 2013, while the price of a bitcoin was approximately $228 on August 22, 2015. Several factors may affect index spot price, including, but not limited to:

 

  Global cryptocurrency supply;
     
  Global cryptocurrency demand, which is influenced by the growth of retail merchants’ and commercial businesses’ acceptance of cryptocurrencies as payment for goods and services, the security of online Cryptocurrency Exchanges and digital wallets that hold cryptocurrencies, the perception that the use and holding of cryptocurrencies is safe and secure, and the lack of regulatory restrictions on their use;
     
  Investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation;
     
  Interest rates;
     
  Currency exchange rates, including the rates at which cryptocurrencies may be exchanged for fiat currencies;
     
  Fiat currency withdrawal and deposit policies of Cryptocurrency Exchanges and liquidity on such Cryptocurrency Exchanges;
     
  Interruptions in service from or failures of major Cryptocurrency Exchanges;
     
  Investment and trading activities of large investors, including private and registered funds, that may directly or indirectly invest in cryptocurrencies;
     
  Monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions, currency devaluations and revaluations;
     
  Regulatory measures, if any, that affect the use of cryptocurrencies as a form of payment or the purchase of cryptocurrencies on the Cryptocurrency Market;
     
  The maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the cryptocurrency network;
     
  Global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations; and
     
  Expectations among cryptocurrency economy participants that the value of cryptocurrencies will soon change.

 

A decrease in the price of cryptocurrencies may have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Currently, it is believed there is a relatively limited use of cryptocurrencies in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to relatively extensive use by speculators, which contribute to price volatility that could adversely affect our business.

 

 
 

 

Cryptocurrencies and the bitcoin network have only recently became widely accepted as a means of payment for goods and services by many major retail and commercial outlets, and use of cryptocurrencies by consumers to pay such retail and commercial outlets remains limited. Conversely, a significant portion of cryptocurrency demand is generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from the short-term or long-term holding of cryptocurrencies. A lack of expansion by cryptocurrencies into retail and commercial markets, or a contraction of such use, may result in increased volatility or a reduction in the Spot Price, either of which could adversely impact our business.

 

The Core Developers or other programmers could propose amendments to the cryptocurrency network’s protocols and software that, if accepted and authorized by the cryptocurrency network’s community, could adversely affect our business .

 

The cryptocurrency network is based on a math-based protocol that governs the peer-to-peer interactions between computers connected to the cryptocurrency network. The code that sets forth the protocol is informally managed by a development team known as the Core Developers. The members of the Core Developers evolve over time, largely based on self-determined participation in the resource section dedicated to cryptocurrency on Github.com. The Core Developers can propose amendments to the cryptocurrency network’s source code through one or more software upgrades that alter the protocols and software that govern the cryptocurrency network and the properties of cryptocurrencies, including the irreversibility of transactions and limitations on the mining of new cryptocurrencies. To the extent that a significant majority of the users and miners on the cryptocurrency network install such software upgrade(s), the cryptocurrency network would be subject to new protocols and software that may adversely affect our business.

 

The open-source structure of the cryptocurrency network protocol means that the Core Developers and other contributors to the protocol are generally not directly compensated for their contributions in maintaining and developing the protocol. A failure to properly monitor and upgrade the protocol could damage the cryptocurrency network, which may harm our business.

 

The cryptocurrency network operates based on an open-source protocol maintained by the Core Developers and other contributors. As the cryptocurrency network protocol is not sold and its use does not generate revenues for its development team, the Core Developers are generally not compensated for maintaining and updating the cryptocurrency network protocol. To the extent that material issues arise with the bitcoin network protocol, and the Core Developers and open-source contributor community are unable to address the issues adequately or in a timely manner, the bitcoin network and our business may be adversely affected.

 

If a malicious actor or botnet obtains control in excess of 50 percent of the processing power active on the bitcoin network, it is possible that such actor or botnet could manipulate the Blockchain in a manner that adversely affects our business and our ability to operate our business as planned.

 

 
 

 

If a malicious actor, a volunteer or hacked collection of computers controlled by networked software coordinating the actions of the computers referred to as a botnet obtains a majority of the processing power dedicated to mining on the bitcoin network, it may be able to alter the Blockchain on which the bitcoin network and all bitcoin transactions rely by constructing alternate blocks. In such alternate blocks, the malicious actor or botnet could control, exclude or modify transaction information. Using alternate blocks, the malicious actor could “double-spend” its own cryptocurrencies (i.e., spend the same cryptocurrencies in more than one transaction) and prevent the confirmation of other users’ transactions for so long as it maintains control. To the extent that such malicious actor or botnet does not yield its majority control of the processing power on the bitcoin network or the bitcoin community does not reject the fraudulent blocks as malicious, reversing any changes made to the Blockchain may not be possible. Such changes could adversely affect our business or the ability of our business to operate.

 

The award of cryptocurrencies for solving blocks and transaction fees for recording transactions may diminish, thereby diminishing our profits. Further, if these amounts are not sufficiently high to incentivize other miners, miners may cease expending processing power to solve blocks and confirmations of transactions on the Blockchain could be slowed. A reduction in the processing power expended by miners on the bitcoin network could increase the likelihood of a malicious actor or botnet obtaining control in excess of 50 percent of the processing power active on the bitcoin network or the Blockchain, potentially permitting such actor or botnet to manipulate the Blockchain in a manner that adversely affects our business or our ability to operate.

 

If the award of new cryptocurrencies for solving blocks declines and transaction fees are not sufficiently high, the direct effect on our business may be material and adverse. Moreover, other miners may not have an adequate incentive to continue mining and may cease their mining operations. Miners ceasing operations would reduce the collective processing power on the bitcoin network, which would adversely affect the confirmation process for transactions (i.e., temporarily decreasing the speed at which blocks are added to the Blockchain until the next scheduled adjustment in difficulty for block solutions) and make the bitcoin network more vulnerable to a malicious actor or botnet obtaining control in excess of 50 percent of the processing power on the bitcoin network. Significant reductions in processing power on the bitcoin network could result in material delays in block solution confirmation time. Any reduction in confidence in the confirmation process or processing power of the bitcoin network may adversely impact our business.

 

As the number of cryptocurrencies awarded for solving a block in the Blockchain decreases, the incentive for miners to continue to contribute processing power to the bitcoin network will transition from a set reward to transaction fees. Either the requirement from miners of higher transaction fees in exchange for recording transactions in the Blockchain or a software upgrade that automatically charges fees for all transactions may decrease demand for cryptocurrencies and prevent the expansion of the bitcoin network to retail merchants and commercial businesses, resulting in a reduction in the price of cryptocurrencies that could adversely impact our business.

 

 
 

 

In order to incentivize miners to continue to contribute processing power to the bitcoin network, the bitcoin network may either formally or informally transition from a set reward to transaction fees earned upon solving for a block. This transition could itself have a material and adverse effect on our business by lowering the total revenue derivable from our mining activities. If this process is accomplished either by miners independently electing to record in the blocks they solve only those transactions that include payment of a transaction fee or by the bitcoin network adopting software upgrades that require the payment of a minimum transaction fee for all transactions. If transaction fees paid for Bitcoin transactions become too high, the marketplace may be reluctant to accept cryptocurrencies as a means of payment and existing users may be motivated to switch from cryptocurrencies to another cryptocurrency or back to fiat currency. Decreased use and demand for cryptocurrencies may adversely affect their value and result in a reduction in the price of bitcoin and materially and adversely affect our business.

 

To the extent that any miners cease to record transactions in solved blocks, transactions that do not include the payment of a transaction fee will not be recorded on the Blockchain until a block is solved by a miner who does not require the payment of transaction fees. Any widespread delays in the recording of transactions could result in a loss of confidence in the bitcoin network, which could adversely impact our business

 

To the extent that any miners cease to record transaction in solved blocks, such transactions will not be recorded on the Blockchain. Currently, there are no known incentives for miners to elect to exclude the recording of transactions in solved blocks; however, to the extent that any such incentives arise (e.g., a collective movement among miners or one or more mining pools forcing bitcoin users to pay transaction fees as a substitute for or in addition to the award of new cryptocurrencies upon the solving of a block), actions of miners solving a significant number of blocks could delay the recording and confirmation of transactions on the Blockchain. Any systemic delays in the recording and confirmation of transactions on the Blockchain could result in greater exposure to double-spending transactions and a loss of confidence in the bitcoin network, which could adversely impact our business.

 

Intellectual property related claims may adversely affect the operation of the bitcoin network.

 

Third parties may assert intellectual property claims relating to the holding and transfer of cryptocurrencies and their source code. Regardless of the merit of any intellectual property or other legal action, any threatened action that reduces confidence in the bitcoin network’s long-term viability or the ability of end-users to hold and transfer cryptocurrencies may adversely affect our business. Additionally, a meritorious intellectual property claim could prevent us and other end-users from accessing the bitcoin network or holding or transferring their cryptocurrencies, which could force us to cease operations. As a result, an intellectual property claim against us or any large bitcoin network participants could adversely affect our business.

 

The Bitcoin Exchanges on which cryptocurrencies trade are relatively new and, in most cases, largely unregulated and may therefore be more exposed to fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for other products. To the extent that the Bitcoin Exchanges representing a substantial portion of the volume in bitcoin trading are involved in fraud or experience security failures or other operational issues, such Bitcoin Exchanges’ failures may result in a reduction in the Spot Price and can adversely affect our business.

 

 
 

 

The Bitcoin Exchanges on which the cryptocurrencies trade are new and, in most cases, largely unregulated. Furthermore, many Bitcoin Exchanges (including several of the most prominent US Dollar denominated Bitcoin Exchanges) do not provide the public with significant information regarding their ownership structure, management teams, corporate practices or regulatory compliance. As a result, the marketplace may lose confidence in, or may experience problems relating to, Bitcoin Exchanges, including prominent exchanges handling a significant portion of the volume of bitcoin trading.

 

Over the past four years, many Bitcoin Exchanges have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. In many of these instances, the customers of such Bitcoin Exchanges were not compensated or made whole for the partial or complete losses of their account balances in such Bitcoin Exchanges. While smaller Bitcoin Exchanges are less likely to have the infrastructure and capitalization that make larger Bitcoin Exchanges more stable, larger Bitcoin Exchanges are more likely to be appealing targets for hackers and “malware” (i.e., software used or programmed by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information or gain access to private computer systems). A lack of stability in the Bitcoin Exchange Market and the closure or temporary shutdown of Bitcoin Exchanges due to fraud, business failure, hackers or malware, or government-mandated regulation may reduce confidence in the bitcoin network and result in greater volatility in the Spot Price. These potential consequences of a Bitcoin Exchange’s failure could adversely affect our business.

 

Regulatory changes or actions may alter the nature of our business or restrict the use of cryptocurrencies or the operation of the Bitcoin Network in a manner that adversely affects our business.

 

Until recently, little or no regulatory attention has been directed toward cryptocurrencies and the Bitcoin Network by the U.S. federal and state governments, foreign governments and self-regulatory agencies. As cryptocurrencies have grown in popularity and in market size, the Federal Reserve Board, U.S. Congress and certain U.S. agencies have begun to examine the operations of the Bitcoin Network, Bitcoin users and the Bitcoin Exchange Market. Local state regulators such as the California Department of Financial Institutions and the New York State Department of Financial Services have also initiated examinations of cryptocurrencies, the Bitcoin Network and the regulation thereof. Additionally, a U.S. federal magistrate judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas has ruled that “Bitcoin is a currency or form of money,” two CFTC commissioners publicly expressed a belief that derivatives based on cryptocurrencies are subject to the same regulation as those based on commodities, and the IRS released guidance treating cryptocurrencies as property that is not currency for US federal income tax purposes, although there is no indication yet whether other courts or federal or state regulators will follow these asset classifications.

 

Bitcoin currently faces an uncertain regulatory landscape in not only the United States but also in many foreign jurisdictions such as the European Union, China and Russia. Various foreign jurisdictions may, in the near future, adopt laws, regulations or directives that affect the Bitcoin Network and its users, particularly Bitcoin Exchanges and service providers that fall within such jurisdictions’ regulatory scope. Such laws, regulations or directives may conflict with those of the United States and may negatively impact the acceptance of cryptocurrencies by users, merchants and service providers outside of the United States and may therefore impede the growth of the Bitcoin economy.

 

 
 

 

The effect of any future regulatory change or cryptocurrencies is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and adverse to our business.

 

RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY SECURITIES

 

An investment, whether direct or indirect, in the Company Securities involves a high degree of risk and is subject to many uncertainties. In addition to the risk factors specific to this offering set forth below, the risk factors set forth in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in MGT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on April 20, 2017, are incorporated herein by reference. These risks and uncertainties may adversely affect MGT’s business, operating results and financial condition. In such an event, the trading price for Common Stock could decline substantially, and you could, directly or indirectly, lose all or part of your investment. In order to attain an appreciation for these risks and uncertainties, you should read all risk factors in their entirety and consider all of the information and advisements contained in the Investment Documents, including the following risk factors and uncertainties.

 

There will be restrictions on resale of the Company Securities and there is no assurance of the registration of the Company Securities.

 

None of the Company Securities may be sold unless, at the time of such intended sale, there is a current registration statement covering the resale of the Company Securities or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and such Securities have been registered, qualified, or deemed to be exempt under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws in the state of residence of the seller or in the state where sales are being effected. MGT has no current intention of filing a registration statement covering the resale of the Company Securities. If no registration statement is filed and declared effective covering the resale of any of the Company Securities sold pursuant to the Investment Documents, investors will be precluded from disposing of such Company Securities unless such Company Securities may become eligible to be disposed of under the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act without restriction. If the Company Securities are not registered for resale under the Securities Act, or exempt therefrom, and registered or qualified under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws, or deemed exempt therefrom, the value of such securities will be greatly reduced.

 

MGT may have at one time been deemed a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (that is, the Shares) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 unless at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, MGT is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the Company Securities cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

 
 

 

The number of Company Securities issued to the LLC in connection with the Management Agreement has been arbitrarily determined by MGT.

 

The number of Company Securities issued to the LLC in connection with the Management Agreement and therefore the underlying value of the Company Securities was arbitrarily determined by MGT. The value of the Company Securities does not necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria such as earnings, book value or assets. Rather, the value of the Company Securities may be derived as a result of our negotiations with the LLC based upon various factors including prevailing market conditions, our future prospects and our capital structure. These values do not necessarily accurately reflect the actual value of the Company Securities or the prices that may be realized upon disposition of the Company Securities.

 

An investment in the Company Securities is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

 

An investment in the Company Securities is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in MGT, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

 

Your ownership interest is subject to dilution.

 

The holder or holders of the Company Securities issued pursuant to the Investment Documents will experience immediate dilution in the value of their Common Stock received upon exercise. In addition, each holder’s proportionate ownership interest may be diluted when MGT issues additional shares of Common Stock. MGT may raise capital in the future through the sale of shares of Common Stock, and each holder’s percentage interest in Common Stock would be diluted.

d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations . (i) The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder may decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time, but may not increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d). The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

MGT Capital Provides Update of Cryptocurrency Operations

 

Committed to Exceed 60 PetaHash in First Quarter 2018

 

DURHAM, NC, October 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (OTCQB: MGTI) today issued a press release intended to provide stockholders and the investment community with clear metrics regarding the present status of its cryptocurrency business. While the Company believes that all calculations and figures in this release are accurate, there can

be no assurance, for example, that the historical correlation of difficulty rates and Bitcoin prices will hold in the future, nor can MGT assure that there will be no unforeseen issues in deploying its mining rigs.

 

“We have been running at breakneck speed to achieve a substantial expansion of our Bitcoin mining footprint, and it’s time for a comprehensive summary,” stated Stephen Schaeffer, President of the Company’s Crypto-Capital Strategies business unit.

 

Following shipment and setup, and in conjunction with the Company’s current rigs in operation and on firm order, MGT’s Bitcoin mining operations are expected to generate over $2.0 million in monthly revenue, assuming recent pricing and difficulty rates. Factoring in management fees, profit sharing, electricity, hosting and other direct operating costs, EBITDA from the Company’s Bitcoin mining operations is projected at $1.1 million per month. The Company expects all rigs announced to date to be operating during the first quarter of 2018.

 

Upon full deployment, the total number of mining machines will consist of approximately 4,700 Bitmain Technologies S9 Antimer rigs, generating potential hash power in excess of 60 Ph/s, solidifying MGT’s claim of being the largest Bitcoin miner in the U.S. Projected annualized revenue of $25 million and EBITDA of $13 million will far exceed ongoing corporate capital requirements. All mining machines referred to in this press release are fully paid, with the exception of $4.6 million in total debt, all in the form of secured notes convertible into MGT common stock. No further capital is required from MGT or third-party investors in order to receive delivery from firm purchase orders with Bitmain. The Company has also acquired 60 graphics processor-based mining computers to mine Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.

 

Mr. Schaeffer continued, “The effort required to reach our current level is not trivial. The ability to scale our operations requires coordinating the procurement of supply-constrained rigs, massive power requirements, substantial monitoring and controls, and the like. This success is far from a plug and play endeavor. We are very proud of the diligence of the entire MGT team.”

 

The price and resiliency of Bitcoin, along with the growing recognition of MGT’s expertise, now puts the Company in the enviable position of being very selective in choosing partners to help it grow. Last week’s announcement of agreements to fund hardware costs illustrates this favorable dynamic. The agreements provide for third party investors to fund the entire upfront costs of mining rigs and power, in return for fifty percent of the net profits. In addition to its fifty percent share of net profits, MGT receives ten percent of gross revenues as a management fee. Investors also received about 350,000 shares of restricted MGT common stock and 350,000 warrants to acquire stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

 

Concluded Mr. Schaeffer, “The newly announced vertical of rig management, combined with the expected abundant free cash flow, positions the Company for even greater growth during 2018.”
