Registered Direct Offering

On October 25, 2023, Bit Brother Limited (the “Company”) entered into certain securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain non-affiliated institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 14,000,000 of its Class A ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) Class B warrants (“Class B Warrants”) to purchase 14,000,000 Ordinary Shares and Class C warrants (“Class C Warrants”, together with the Class B Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase 14,000,000 Ordinary Shares in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”), for gross proceeds of approximately $5.04 million. The purchase price for each Ordinary Share and the corresponding Class B Warrant and Class C Warrant is $0.36.

The Class B Warrants will be exercisable immediately following the date of issuance for a period of five years at an initial exercise price of $0.36, subject to certain reset thirty (30) trading days after the closing. The Class C Warrants will be exercisable immediately following the date of issuance for a period of two years at an initial exercise price of $0.46. In addition to the customary cashless exercise rights provided in both the Warrants, the Class C Warrants will also provide an alternate cashless exercise allowing the holder of the Class C Warrants the right to exercise at any time, on a cashless exercise basis for a larger number of Ordinary Shares under certain conditions. Each of the Warrants is subject to anti-dilution provisions to reflect stock dividends and splits, subsequent rights offerings or other similar transactions, but not as a result of future securities offerings at lower prices. Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants), the Warrants are subject to mandatory redemption for cash consideration equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrants) of such portion of such Warrant to be redeemed.

The Company agreed in the Purchase Agreement that it would not issue any Ordinary Shares, or ordinary share equivalents for one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days following the closing of the Offering subject to certain exceptions.

Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the officers and directors of the Company and shareholders of the Company holding 10% or more of the Company’s Ordinary Shares entered into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, not to sell or dispose of any Ordinary Shares which are or will be beneficially owned by them for one hundred and twenty (120) days following the closing of the Offering.

The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for research and development & commercialization of blockchain software, building or acquiring crypto-currency mining rigs and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Offering closed on October 30, 2023.

The Company entered into a placement agency agreement dated October 25, 2023 (the “Letter Agreement”), with Maxim Group LLC, as exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to act as the sole lead/exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering. The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent up to $50,000 for the reasonable and accounted fees and expenses of legal counsel.
