Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 15, 2021, Lake Mariner Data LLC (“Lake Mariner”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of TeraWulf Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TeraWulf”), executed the non-fixed price sales and purchase agreement (the “Bitmain December 2021 Equipment Supply Agreement”) with Bitmain Technologies Limited (“Bitmain”) to purchase 15,000 S19 XP pro miners with a hash rate of approximately 140 Th/s and power consumption of approximately 3,010 W/unit, with 2,500 units to be delivered on a monthly basis from July 2022 through December 2022. The estimated aggregate purchase price of the miners under the Bitmain December 2021 Equipment Supply Agreement is approximately $169.1 million. The actual purchase price of the miners will be determined one (1) month prior to the respective batch of the miners is shipped and with reference to the market circumstances, provided that the actual purchase price of the miners will not be higher than the estimated purchase price. Upon receipt of notification of the actual purchase price provided by Bitmain, Lake Mariner is entitled to (i) continue the order of the respective batch of the miners with the original hash rate and pay the remaining amount at the actual purchase price, (ii) request Bitmain to increase the hash rate by an amount that would equate to the dollar difference by which the estimated purchase price exceeds the actual purchase price (if any) or (iii) partially or wholly cancel the respective batch of the miners; provided, however, that, prior to Bitmain’s notification of the actual price, Lake Mariner is required to make timely payments based on the estimated purchase price as specified in the Bitmain December 2021 Equipment Supply Agreement. The purchase price for the miners will be paid as follows: (x) at least 35% within two (2) days after signing the Bitmain December 2021 Equipment Supply Agreement; (y) at least 35% six (6) months prior to the shipment of the miners; and (z) the remaining 30% one (1) month prior to the shipment of the miners. If Bitmain fails to deliver the miners after thirty (30) days after the respective deadline, Lake Mariner will be entitled to cancel the order of such batch of the miners and request Bitmain to refund the purchase price of such undelivered batch of the miners together with interest of 0.0333% per day for the period beginning from the date immediately after which payment for such batch of the miners was made to the date immediately prior to Lake Mariner’s request for refund. If Lake Mariner does not cancel the order and requests Bitmain to deliver such batch of the miners, Bitmain is required to compensate Lake Mariner a daily amount equal to 0.0333% of the price for such undelivered batch of the miners to be paid in the form of delivery of more rated hash rate. Bitmain has the right to discontinue the sale of the miners and to make changes to the miners at any time, without prior approval from or notice to Lake Mariner. 

 

The description of the Bitmain December 2021 Equipment Supply Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bitmain December 2021 Equipment Supply Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the next periodic report of TeraWulf.
