Defaults Upon Senior Securities
Celsius Mining LLC loaned $20 million to Luna Squares LLC, through a Secured Promissory Note (the “Celsius Promissory Note”), which had a maturity date of August 23, 2023, and a total outstanding balance as of March 31, 2024, of $8.82 million. Luna Squares LLC has not repaid the loan as required on the maturity date and is therefore in default. Celsius Mining LLC transferred to benefit of the Celsius Promissory Note to Celsius Network Ltd. Celsius Network Ltd has notified Luna Squares the default interest is payable. On November 23, 2023, Celsius filed an adversary proceeding against Mawson, its subsidiaries Luna Squares LLC and Cosmos Infrastructure LLC, asserting various claims related to the alleged breach of a Co-Location Agreement and Secured Promissory Note. Adv. Case No. 23-01202, claiming it is owed approximately $8 million under the promissory note and claiming entitlement to return of $15.33 million paid as deposit. Mawson denied that Celsius is entitled to the relief it seeks in the adversary proceeding and is actively defending the matter. Many of the related claims and disputes between Celsius and Mawson have been disclosed in more detail in Mawson’s previous filings with the SEC. As part of its defense, Mawson sought to have the matter removed from the adversary proceeding to arbitration based on the arbitration clause contained in one of the transaction’s agreements. Celsius opposed the removal and the matter was heard before the Court. On February 27, 2024, the Court ruled in part that the claims regarding the Co-Location Agreement could be arbitrated, but the claims for the promissory note would stay before the Court. The Court appointed a litigation administrator to handle the claims arising out of the promissory note. Mawson appealed this decision to the District Court for the Southern District of New York and ultimately prevailed. As of May 1, 2024, and pursuant to a court order dated April 22, 2024, the Celsius civil lawsuit against Luna Squares and Mawson has been dismissed pursuant to the Company’s successful motion to compel arbitration. Currently, no arbitration proceedings or further appeals have been filed by either party.
