The Com pany has filed with the Securities and Exchange Com m ission (“SEC”) a registration statem ent (including a base prospectus), a base prospectus supplem ent and a prospectus supplem ent annex for the offering to which this com m unication relates.

Forward-looking statem ents inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results of the Com pany to differ m ateria l y from the forward-looking statem ents. Factors that could contribute to such differences, and as we l as risks resulting loss of principal, include: the Com pany’s ability to unilatera l y reduce the dividend rate on the STRC, which could cause STRC to accum ulate dividends at rates that are below those of otherwise com parable instrum ents and could cause the trading price or value of STRC to decrease, the Com pany’s ability to issue additional indebtedness or preferred stock in the future that ranks equa l y with or senior to the STRC with respect to dividends and liquidation rights without the consent of any holder of STRC, fluctuations in the m arket price of Bitcoin and any associated unrealized gains or losses on digital assets that the Com pany m ay record in its financial statem ents as a result of a change in the m arket price of Bitcoin from the value at which the Com pany’s bitcoins are carried on its balance sheet; the availability of debt and equity financing on favorable term s; gains or losses on any sales of bitcoins; changes in the accounting treatm ent relating to the Com pany’s bitcoin holdings; changes in securities laws or other laws or regulations, or the adoption of new laws or regulations relating to Bitcoin that adversely affect the price of Bitcoin or the Com pany’s ability to transact in or own bitcoin; the im pact of the availability of spot exchange traded products and other investm ent vehicles for bitcoin and other digital assets; a decrease in liquidity in the m arkets in which bitcoin is traded; security breaches, cyberattacks, unauthorized access, loss of private keys, fraud or other circum stances or events that result in the loss of the Com pany’s bitcoins; im pacts to the price and rate of adoption of Bitcoin associated with financial difficulties and bankruptcies of various participants in the digital asset industry; the level and term s of the Com pany’s substantial indebtedness and its ability to service such debt; the extent and tim ing of m arket acceptance of the Com pany’s new product offerings; continued acceptance of the Com pany’s other products in the m arketplace; the Com pany’s ability to recognize revenue or deferred revenue through delivery of products or satisfactory perform ance of services; the tim ing of significant orders; delays in or the inability of the Com pany to develop or ship new products; custom ers continuing to shift from a product license m odel to a cloud subscription m odel, which m ay delay the Com pany’s ability to recognize revenue; fluctuations in tax benefits or provisions; changes in the m arket price of Bitcoin as of period-end and their effect on the Com pany’s deferred tax assets, related valuation a l owance, and tax expense; other potentia l y adverse tax consequences, including the potential taxation of unrealized gains on our bitcoin holdings; com petitive factors; general econom ic conditions, including levels of inflation and interest rates; currency fluctuations; and other risks detailed in the Com pany’s registration statem ents and periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. The Com pany undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statem ents for revisions or changes after the date of the applicable com m unication to which this relates. Tax-Equivalent Yield, with respect to STRC, is the annualized stated interest rate that would be required on a corporate bond trading at par for a U. S. individual investor to receive after -tax cash interest paym ents equivalent to the cash distributions he or she would receive from STRC divided by the current m arket price of STRC, assum ing that (i) the stated interest paym ents under the hypothetical corporate bond are subject to a 37% m arginal U. S. federal incom e tax rate, (i ) such stated interest paym ents and cash distributions are not subject to any other federal, state or local taxes (which m ay vary depending on an investor’s particular circum stances), (i ) the current dividend rate for STRC rem ains constant for 12 m onths and dividends on STRC are declared and paid in ful for such period, and (iv) distributions on STRC rem ain classified as a tax-deferred “return of capital,” and are not as taxable dividends, for U. S. federal incom e and state and local tax purposes. Upon disposition or redem ption of STRC, an investor wil be subject to tax on a l prior “return of capital” distributions at the applicable capital gains rate. Upon depletion of an investor’s basis in STRC, any further distribution is taxable as capital gain. Investors should consult their tax advisors.
