INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Bitfarms Ltd., a corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of Canada and continued under theBusiness Corporation Act (Ontario)(“Bitfarms”), currently qualifies as a foreign private issuer in the United States for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Although, as a foreign private issuer, Bitfarms is not required to do so, Bitfarms has chosen to file annual reports on Form 10**-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-**K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instead of filing the reporting forms available to foreign private issuers.
On February 6, 2026, Bitfarms announced that its board of directors (the “Board”) approved a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under which Bitfarms will redomicile from Canada to the United States (the “U.S. Redomiciliation”), subject to receipt of shareholder, stock exchange and court approvals. Upon completion of the U.S. Redomiciliation, the ultimate parent company of Bitfarms will be a new corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware that will operate under the name Keel Infrastructure Corp. (“Keel Infrastructure”). To effect the U.S. Redomiciliation, each outstanding common share of Bitfarms (a “Common Share”) will be exchanged for one share of common stock of Keel Infrastructure (“Keel Common Stock”), pursuant to the Arrangement. Following completion of the U.S. Redomiciliation, Bitfarms will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Keel Infrastructure, which together with Bitfarms and its other subsidiaries will carry on the business currently conducted by Bitfarms and its subsidiaries.
The Arrangement was approved by Bitfarms’ shareholders at a special meeting held on March 20, 2026. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) issued its final order approving the Arrangement on March 24, 2026.
Upon completion of the U.S. Redomiciliation, Keel Common Stock is expected to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the ticker symbol “KEEL”, subject to receipt of all necessary approvals of the Nasdaq and the TSX.
All approvals having been obtained, the U.S. Redomiciliation is expected to be completed on or about April 1, 2026.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”) and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, statements about our objectives, plans, goals, aspirations, strategies, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, performance, prospects, opportunities, statements about the U.S. Redomiciliation and legal and regulatory matters.
These forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “predict”, “potential”, “targeting”, “intend”, “could”, “might”, “should”, “believe”, “future”, “continue” or similar expressions or the negatives thereof.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements and such forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this Annual Report.
The forward-looking statements in this document are based on what we currently believe are reasonable assumptions, including the material assumptions set out under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, such documents are available under our SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca or in the United States through EDGAR at the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov.
Inherent in forward-looking statements are risks, uncertainties and other factors beyond our ability to predict or control.
Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations may include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties that are discussed in greater detail in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
vi
Although we believe that the plans, intentions, expectations, assumptions and strategies reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. In addition, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. You should read this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents that we reference in this Form 10-K completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K represent our views as of the date of this Form 10-K. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
