Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

 

On March 16, 2023 the Company entered into a partnership agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”) and a property lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement, and together with the Partnership Agreement, collectively, the “Agreement”) with another cryptocurrency mining company (“Tenant”). Pursuant to the Lease Agreement, the Company agreed to lease to Tenant portions of the Company’s six acre mining facility in Lafayette, GA in increments of up to 10 spaces that are 40 feet in length and eight feet in height each (“Spaces”), together with related utilities access including electricity of up to one megawatt (“MW”) per Space, for deploying mining equipment, in exchange for rental payments of $5 per Space per month (provided the Spaces are powered) and payment of the electricity costs and deposit requirements arising from the Spaces. In connection with the Lease Agreement, Tenant agreed to make an initial deposit of $229 for the initial electricity deployment for five MW and $40 as a security deposit. The $269 total of security deposits is presented in long-term liabilities.

 

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Company agreed to issue Tenant 500,000 shares its common stock per month for each rented Space (the “Monthly Issuances”), and to also issue an additional number of shares of common stock annually equal to 100% of the Monthly Issuances for the applicable year (the “Annual Issuances,” and together with the Monthly Issuances, collectively, the “Issuances”). Further, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Company provided Tenant with the option (the “Option”) to lend MGT up to $1 million evidenced by a convertible promissory note that is convertible into 25% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, assuming all $1 million is lent, on a pro-forma, post-issuance basis (the “Note”), together with an accompanying warrant to purchase 180% of the shares of common stock underlying the Note (the “Warrant”). The terms of the Note and Warrant would be substantially similar to the September 2022 Note and accompanying warrants that were issued by the Company along with that note. If the Option is exercised, the parties may elect to substitute the $1 million purchase price, in whole or in part, with equipment and infrastructure improvements to enable the Company to have access to up to an additional 10 MWs of electricity to the facility’s currently available electrical power capacity. The Company’s facility currently has electrical capacity of up to 10 MW. The Agreement has a term of 24 months.
