Risks Associated with the Chapter 11 Involuntary Petition Filed Against Us
Current report
Certain of our creditors have filed an Involuntary Petition seeking entry of an order for relief, which if entered over our expected opposition, would impose on us a Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code. Such proceeding could lead to a reorganization or a liquidation which would raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Current report
On December 4, 2024, certain of our creditors filed an Involuntary Petition against us seeking an order for relief by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court placing us in Chapter 11 reorganization under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. No such order for relief with regard to the Involuntary Petition has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court, and the Company intends to vigorously oppose any such relief. However, if such relief is eventually ordered, such an event could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and could affect our assets, business, operations, earnings, properties, condition (financial and otherwise), prospects, stockholders’ equity and results of operations.
Current report
As with any judicial proceeding, there are risks with an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding, including uncertainty, cost and unavoidable delay. Further, should the Delaware Bankruptcy Court enter an order for relief in connection with the Involuntary Petition, there would be additional associated risks operating under an involuntary Chapter 11 reorganization. Throughout the course of an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding, the effects of an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding, including increased legal and other professional costs, on the Company’s liquidity (including the availability of operating capital during the pendency of an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding), results of operations or business prospects; the effects of an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding on the interests of various constituents and financial stakeholders; the length of time that the Company could operate under Chapter 11 protection and the continued availability of operating capital during the pendency of an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding; objections to the Company’s restructuring process, or other pleadings filed that could protract an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding; risks associated with third-party motions in an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding; Bankruptcy Court rulings in an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding and the outcome of an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding in general; the Company’s ability to comply with the restrictions imposed by the terms and conditions of a plan of reorganization; employee attrition and the Company’s ability to retain senior management and other key personnel due to the distractions and uncertainties; the Company’s ability to maintain relationships with suppliers, customers, employees and other third parties and regulatory authorities as a result of an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding; the impact and timing of any cost-savings measures and related local law requirements in various jurisdictions; finalization of the Company’s annual and quarterly financial statements (including finalization of the Company’s impairment tests), completion of standard annual and quarterly-close processes; risks relating to the delisting of the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq and future quotation of the Company’s common stock; the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and the potential for additional material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or other potential weaknesses, all pose added risks and uncertainties.
Current report
These risks and uncertainties could affect our business and operations in various ways. For example, negative events or publicity associated with an involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding could adversely affect our relationships with our suppliers, customers and employees. In particular, critical vendors, suppliers, and/or customers may determine not to do business with us due to the involuntary Chapter 11 proceeding and we may not be successful in securing alternative sources of financing. Also, transactions outside the ordinary course of business are subject to the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court, which may limit our ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of opportunities that might otherwise exist outside of Chapter 11. Additionally, uncertainty with respect to intercompany transactions may negatively impact our captive insurance companies’ ability to meet insurance regulatory requirements. There may be objections from certain stakeholders, including objections from the holders of unsecured claims as well as other risks associated with any business reorganizing under Chapter 11 to our business activities or any plan of reorganization developed as part of the Chapter 11 reorganization. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with an involuntary Chapter 11, we cannot predict or quantify the ultimate impact that events occurring during the Chapter 11 process may have on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and there is no certainty as to our ability to successfully emerge from any such proceeding as a going concern.
Current report
A prolonged continuation of the Chapter 11 proceeding could impact the value of our assets and our business.
Current report
Furthermore, if an order for relief is entered (or ultimately consented to) and the Company is operating in Chapter 11, we could be required to incur substantial additional costs for professional fees and other expenses associated with the administration of the Chapter 11 proceedings.
Current report
Finally, we again note that notwithstanding the filing of the Involuntary Petition, we continue to operate in the ordinary course of business as authorized pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 303(f), and no trustee, interim trustee or examiner has been appointed in connection with the pending Involuntary Petition. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 303(g), at any time before the entry of an order for relief with respect to the Involuntary Petition, on request of the petitioning creditors or any other party in interest to the Delaware Bankruptcy Case, following notice to the debtor and a hearing, and if necessary to preserve the property of the debtor’s estate or to prevent loss to the debtor’s estate, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court may order the United States trustee to appoint an interim trustee to take possession of the property of the debtor’s estate and to operate the business of the debtor. The Company would have the right to oppose any such interim trustee request, and even if an interim trustee were to be appointed pending the determination on the Involuntary Petition, the debtor may regain possession of its assets or property by posting a sufficient bond as may be required by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court.
Current report
We are in the process of opposing the Involuntary Petition for Chapter 11 reorganization under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which may cause our common stock to decrease in value or may render our common stock worthless.
Current report
Since the Involuntary Petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Delaware Bankruptcy Court was filed against us, the price of our common stock has been volatile and the common stock price may continue to decrease in value and/or become worthless. Accordingly, any trading in our common stock during the pendency of the determination of the Involuntary Petition is highly speculative and poses substantial risks to purchasers of our common stock. On February 6, 2025, the Company received the Bid Price Notice from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Bid Price Notice, the closing bid price of Company’s Common Stock was less than the $1.00 per share minimum bid price required for continued listing on Nasdaq, as required by the “Bid Price Rule. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule prior to the expiration of the Bid Price Compliance Period and is not granted an additional 180-day compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. Delisting our common stock may adversely impact our liquidity, impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock, impair our ability to raise capital, and the market price of our common stock could decrease.
Current report
Should the Delaware Bankruptcy Court enter an order for relief placing us in Chapter 11, recoveries for holders of common stock, if any, may depend upon our ability to negotiate and confirm a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization or liquidation, the terms of such plan, the value of our assets, the recovery of our business from any adverse effects of these proceedings or other adverse industry conditions, if any, which may arise. Although we cannot predict how our common stock will ultimately be treated if the Involuntary Petition is not dismissed by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court, we expect that common stockholders may not receive any recovery through a Chapter 11 plan (if any) unless the holders of more senior claims and interests, such as secured and unsecured indebtedness, are paid in full. Our stockholders’ equity could decrease as we use cash on hand to support our operations in bankruptcy. Consequently, should the Involuntary Petition not be dismissed, there is a significant risk that the holders of our common stock would receive no recovery and that our common stock could be worthless.
Current report
As a result of the filing of an Involuntary Petition by petitioning creditors, we are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with reorganization under an involuntary Chapter 11 and operating under Chapter 11 may restrict our ability to pursue strategic and operational initiatives.
Current report
If we are unsuccessful in dismissing the Involuntary Petition filed against us, for the duration of the Chapter 11, our operations and our ability to execute our business strategy could be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy. These risks include:
Current report
We may not be able to raise additional capital to meet our liquidity needs, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
Current report
Outside of revenue generated by our ongoing operations, the Company’s primary sources of capital to fund ongoing operations and other capital needs includes corporate financing as well as the sale of equity through such mechanisms as the “at the market offering” under this prospectus supplement. The ability to engage in these activities may be limited, if available at all, in light of the Involuntary Petition and related court process in connection therewith.
Current report
In the event that cash on hand, cash flow from operations are not sufficient to meet these liquidity needs, the Company may be required to seek additional financing or sale of equity or debt financing, and can provide no assurance that additional financing or equity sales or debt financing may be available or, if available, offered on acceptable terms.
Current report
Defense of and responding to the pending Involuntary Petition has consumed and may continue to consume a substantial portion of the time and attention of our management, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and we may face increased levels of employee attrition.
Current report
While the determination as to whether the Involuntary Petition satisfies the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code for entry of an order for relief continues, our management may be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort focusing on this Involuntary Bankruptcy Case. This diversion of attention may materially adversely affect the conduct of our business, and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations, particularly if our opposition to the entry of any order for relief with regard to the Involuntary Petition is protracted. During these proceedings (and any related Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding), our employees may face considerable distraction and uncertainty, and we may experience increased levels of employee attrition. A loss of key personnel or material erosion of employee morale could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to meet customer expectations, thereby adversely affecting our business and results of operations. The failure to retain or attract members of our management team and other key personnel could impair our ability to execute our strategy and implement operational initiatives, thereby having a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Current report
If an order for relief is entered with regard to the Involuntary Petition and we are forced to operate in Chapter 11 and are unable to negotiate and confirm a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, we could be required to liquidate under Chapter 7 (“Chapter 7”) of the Bankruptcy Code in which case our common stock could be worthless.
Current report
We are not yet ordered into Chapter 11 by the Bankruptcy Court in response to the Involuntary Petition, but if an order for relief is entered and we are so ordered, we may need or attempt to develop a plan of reorganization. If we are unable to negotiate a plan of reorganization that results in our remaining a going concern, upon a showing of cause, the Bankruptcy Court may dismiss or convert the Chapter 11 proceedings to proceedings under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event of conversion of the proceedings to Chapter 7, a Chapter 7 trustee could be appointed or elected to liquidate our assets for distribution to creditors in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. Holders of our common stock would most likely lose their entire investment in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, as most Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings render shares of a debtor’s common stock worthless.
Current report
If we are unsuccessful in dismissing the Involuntary Petition filed against us and we are ordered into an involuntary Chapter 11, we may be subject to claims that may not be discharged in the involuntary Chapter 11, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Current report
The Bankruptcy Code provides that the confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization discharges a debtor from substantially all debts arising prior to confirmation. With few exceptions, all claims that arose prior to confirmation of the plan of reorganization (i) may be subject to compromise and/or treatment under the plan of reorganization and (ii) may be discharged in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the terms of the plan of reorganization. Any claims not ultimately discharged through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization could be asserted against us and may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations on a post-reorganization basis.
Current report
Operating in bankruptcy for a long period of time may harm our business.
Current report
If we are unsuccessful in dismissing the Involuntary Petition filed against us and are ordered into an involuntary Chapter 11, we may be subject to a long period of operations in the Chapter 11 which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. So long as the Chapter 11 continues, senior management may be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort dealing with the reorganization instead of focusing exclusively on business operations. A prolonged period of operating under Bankruptcy Court protection also may make it more difficult to retain management and other key personnel necessary to the success of our business. In addition, the longer the Chapter 11 continues, the more likely it is that customers and suppliers may lose confidence in our ability to reorganize our business successfully and may seek to establish alternative commercial relationships.
Current report
So long as the Chapter 11 case continues, we may be required to incur substantial costs for professional fees and other expenses associated with the administration of the Chapter 11, including potentially the cost of litigation. In general, litigation can be expensive and time consuming to bring or defend against. Such litigation may result in settlements or damages that may significantly affect our financial results. It is also possible that certain parties may commence litigation with respect to the treatment of their claims under a plan. It is not possible to predict the potential litigation that we may become a party to, nor the final resolution of such litigation. The impact of any such litigation on our business and financial stability, however, may be material.
Current report
Should the Chapter 11, assuming an order for relief is entered, be protracted, we may also need to seek new financing to fund operations. If we are unable to obtain such financing on favorable terms or at all, the chances of confirming a Chapter 11 plan may be seriously jeopardized and the likelihood that we may instead be required to liquidate our assets could increase.
Current report
The price of our common stock has and may continue to fluctuate significantly, which could negatively affect us and holders of our common stock.
Current report
The market price of our common stock has and may continue to fluctuate significantly as a result of many factors, including the pending Involuntary Petition. Our results may also fluctuate due to factors such as the following:
Current report
The Delaware Bankruptcy Court could enter an order imposing trading restrictions with respect to our common stock.
Current report
If the Delaware Bankruptcy Court enters an order for relief with regard to the Involuntary Petition, the debtor may seek entry of an order that, among other things, imposes trading restrictions on some or all of our holders of our common stock. Restrictions such as these are often entered in order to preserve the value of certain assets, including things like tax attributes, including net operating losses and carryforwards.
Current report
The filing of the Involuntary Petition may adversely impact our U.S. subsidiary businesses and affiliates, which may themselves become subject to Chapter 11 or other insolvency proceedings.
Current report
We have significant subsidiary businesses and affiliates. The filing of the Involuntary Petition and the possibility that, despite our anticipated objections to the entry of any order for relief, such petition leads to us being placed into Chapter 11, may result in negative consequences to our subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ business operations and possibly force them into the Chapter 11 proceedings or other insolvency proceedings.
Current report
An impairment of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets could have a material impact to our results of operations.
Current report
As a result of the stigma to our reputation and material effect on our business operations and vendor and customer relations, our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets may become impaired leading to a loss of value to our stock price as well as a significant decline in revenues and cash flow.
Current report
The filing of the Involuntary Petition potentially places us in material breach of certain contracts and debt obligations of the Company.
Current report
The filing of the Involuntary Petition may constitute defaults, termination events and/or amortization events with respect to certain of the Company’s existing leases, contracts, and debt obligations.
Current report
The Company may need to seek waivers or other remedies under law related to the filing of the Involuntary Petition under its leases and contracts which may automatically deem such petition filed against the Company a default upon the filing of such bankruptcy petition, but it may not be successful in doing so. Such an inability to obtain waivers could cause such leases and contracts to terminate, imposing material and adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, business, and reputation.
Current report
The filing of the Involuntary Petition seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy code could adversely affect our business and relationships.
Current report
It is possible that the filing of the Involuntary Petition or ultimately being placed in Chapter 11 could adversely affect our business and relationships with vendors, suppliers, service providers, customers, employees and other third parties. Due to uncertainties, many risks exist, including the following:

On May 31, 2024, W Capital obtained a judgment from the Australian court awarding it a money judgment for USD $0.17 million as unpaid interest under the convertible note after the Company paid in full the principal of $0.50 million, and AUD $0.30 million under a loan deed. On June 12, 2024, W Capital issued a statutory demand under Australian Law to the Company seeking USD $0.17 million as unpaid interest under a convertible note after the Company paid in full the principal of $0.50 million, and AUD $0.30 million under a loan deed. The Company rejected this demand. Subsequently, on October 3, 2024, a proceeding before the Federal Court of Australia, New South Wales was filed by W Capital against the Company, seeking a hearing on November 29, 2024 regarding its claims related to the Company’s solvency under Australian law. The current proceeding is in Australian courts and there are no associated proceedings in the United States. The Company believes that W Capital and Marshall are using this proceeding in Australia as a bad faith attempt to gain leverage in ongoing legal disputes between the parties. For further information, please reference the Marshall and W Capital Australian Loan Disputes found in Part I. Financial Information, Item 1. Financial Statements, made part here of and incorporated herein by reference.

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 $10.53 million as of September 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.
Current wording
The Marshall Loan matured in February 2024 and the total outstanding balance is $10.4 million as of March 31, 2025. MIG No. 1, an Australian entity, has not made a payment on principal and interest since May 2023, despite such payments falling due, and is therefore in default under the Marshall Loan. MIG No. 1 is also in default of a number of other covenants under the terms of the loan.

Previous wording
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. 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.
