Luna Squares LLC has not repaid the loan as required on the maturity date and is claimed by Celsius to be 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 Colocation Agreement and Secured Promissory Note. Adv. Case No. 23-01202, claiming it is owed approximately $8.00 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 Colocation 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. On July 18, 2024, Celsius Network, LLC filed for arbitration of its claims against the Company 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 has a Secured Loan Facility Agreement with Marshall Investments GCP Pty Ltd ATF for the Marshall Investments MIG Trust (“Marshall”). The loan matured in February 2024 and the total outstanding balance is $9.71 million as of June 30, 2024. MIG No. 1 Pty Ltd, an Australian entity, has not made a principal and interest payment since May 2023, despite such payments falling due, and is therefore in default. MIG No. 1 Pty Ltd is also in default of a number of other covenants under the terms of the loan. On March 19, 2024, Mig No.1 Pty Ltd was placed into an Australian court appointed liquidation and wind-up process and was deconsolidated for the group from this date.

On March 19, 2024, Marshall appointed receivers and managers in Australia under the terms of their security relating to their secured loan facility. The direct assets that secure this loan include 5,372 miners and 8 modular data centers (“MDCs”), these assets are held by the MIG No.1 and therefore were included in the deconsolidation. The receiver’s statutory duty includes the obligation to sell the secured assets at market value or, if market value is not known, at the best price reasonably obtainable to maximize the prospects of there being sufficient proceeds available to satisfy the balance of the outstanding secured debt. It is therefore expected that this loan balance will be offset in the future by the amount received from the sale of these miners and MDCs. On June 25, Marshall inspected and inventoried the miners and MDCs located at the Company’s Midland facilities but has taken no further action on the collateral at this time. The company is currently not utilizing these miners or MDCs for its operations and has asked Marshall to take these assets out of the Company’s storage. Marshall has not responded to the Company’s ask for these miners and MDCs to be removed from the Company’s storage. The Company also reserves and retains all rights against Marshall.
