ACQUISITION OF PIONEER CRITICAL POWER, INC. AND RELATED ASSETS

On January 22, 2019, CleanSpark entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Pioneer Critical Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Pioneer”), and CleanSpark Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of CleanSpark (“Merger Sub”).

The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with Pioneer surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CleanSpark. At the effective time of the Merger, the issued and outstanding common shares of Pioneer were automatically converted into the right to receive: (i) 175,000 of the common stock of CleanSpark, (ii) a five-year warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of CleanSpark common stock at an exercise price of $16.00 per share, and (iii) a five-year warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of CleanSpark common stock at an exercise price of $20.00 per share. The Merger closed on January 22, 2019 with the filing of a Certificate of Merger in Delaware.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of Pioneer as an asset acquisition under ASC 805, because the assets acquired did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805-10-55-4 as it lacked a substantive process at the time of the acquisition.

The Company determined the fair value of the consideration in accordance with ASC 820 as follows:

Consideration	Fair Value
175,000 shares of common stock	$	3,867,500
50,000 warrants @$16.00		1,102,417
50,000 warrants @$20.00		1,102,107
Total Consideration	$	6,072,024

The Company allocated the purchase price to the identifiable assets as follows:

Purchase Price Allocation
Product drawings and diagrams	$	250,000
UL files		100,000
Customer list & non-compete agreement		5,722,024
	$	6,072,024

On February 1, 2019, Pioneer Critical Power, Inc. was renamed CleanSpark Critical Power Systems, Inc.

As a condition to the Merger Agreement, on January 22, 2019, CleanSpark and Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc.
