Rhea-AI Filing Summary

HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. has launched an at-the-market offering of up to $300,000,000 of common shares, to be sold from time to time through a syndicate of U.S. and Canadian agents. The shares will be issued at prevailing market prices on Nasdaq, the TSXV and other existing trading markets, with the company paying up to 3% of the gross sales price as agents' compensation. As of November 24, 2025, HIVE had 237,966,998 common shares outstanding, so any sales under this program would add to that base over time. The company plans to use net proceeds for general corporate and working capital needs, repaying debt, acquiring cryptocurrency mining equipment, and expanding its high-performance computing facilities and network.

Insights

HIVE sets up a flexible at-the-market program of up to $300M in equity.

HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. has put in place an at-the-market equity program allowing sales of up to $300,000,000 of common shares through several U.S. and Canadian agents. Shares will be sold directly into existing trading markets at prevailing prices, with no minimum raise and timing controlled via placement notices. Agents may earn up to 3% of the gross sales price per share as compensation, plus expense reimbursements.

As of November 24, 2025, HIVE reported 237,966,998 common shares outstanding, with additional options, RSUs, debentures and warrants potentially taking the fully diluted count higher. The filing’s dilution example, based on an assumed price of $3.21, shows how issuing new shares could modestly reduce per-share net tangible book value relative to that price. Actual impact will depend on how much of the authorized capacity the company uses, at what prices, and over what period.

The company states that net proceeds may fund working capital, debt repayment, future acquisitions, mining equipment purchases, and HPC infrastructure build-out. These uses mean the program can support both balance sheet needs and growth projects, but the risk section also highlights potential dilution and share price volatility tied to future equity issuance. Subsequent periodic reports and sales confirmations will show how actively HIVE taps this facility.

(To prospectus filed November 20, 2025)

New Issue

HIVE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES LTD.

Up to US$300,000,000

Common Shares

HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (the "Company", "HIVE", or "we") has entered into an equity distribution agreement dated the date hereof (the "Distribution Agreement") with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Canaccord Genuity LLC, Roth Capital Partners LLC, B. Riley Securities, Inc., Northland Securities, Inc., and Rosenblatt Securities Inc. (the "U.S. Agents"), Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc.,  Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation, Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Roth Canada, Inc. (the "Canadian Agents" and, collectively together with the U.S. Agents, the "Agents") pursuant to which the Company may distribute (the "Offering") up to US$300,000,000 or common shares in the capital of the company (the "Common Shares" and each Common Share to which this prospectus supplement relates, an "Offered Share") in the Offering from time to time through the Agents in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement. Sales of Common Shares, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus to which this prospectus supplement relates, dated November 20, 2025 (the "prospectus"), are anticipated to be made in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions ("NI 44-102"), and an "at-the-market offering" as defined in Rule 415 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), including sales made directly on the TSXV, Nasdaq or on any other existing trading market for the Common Shares.

The Offering is being made concurrently in Canada under the terms of a prospectus supplement to a short form base shelf prospectus dated October 31, 2025. Neither this prospectus supplement nor the accompanying prospectus to which it relates constitutes a prospectus under Canadian securities laws and therefore does not qualify the securities offered hereunder in Canada.

The Offered Shares will be distributed at the market prices prevailing at the time of the sale. As a result, prices at which Offered Shares are sold in the Offering may vary as between purchasers and during the period of any distribution.

There is no minimum amount of funds that must be raised under the Offering. This means that the Offering may terminate after only raising a portion of the Offering amount set out above, or none at all. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, most of the officers and directors are not residents of the United States, that some or all of the Agents or experts named in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus to which it relates are not residents of the United States, and that a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and such persons are located outside the United States.

 


NEITHER THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC" OR THE "COMMISSION") NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE COMMON SHARES NOR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT OR THE PROSPECTUS TO WHICH IT RELATES. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

The Company will pay the Agents compensation for their services in connection with the sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per Offered Share sold pursuant to the Offering.

No underwriter or agent of the at-the-market distribution, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with an underwriter, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities or securities of the same class as the securities distributed under this prospectus supplement, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the securities.

Investment in the Common Shares is highly speculative and involves significant risks that you should consider before purchasing such securities. You should carefully review the risks outlined in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus to which it relates and in the documents incorporated by reference as well as the information under the heading "CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" and consider such risks and information in connection with an investment in the securities. See the "RISK FACTORS" section of the accompanying prospectus and in this prospectus supplement.

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of the securities described herein may have tax consequences both in Canada and the United States. Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States, or who are resident in Canada may not be described fully herein. Purchasers of the Offered Shares should read the tax discussion contained in this prospectus supplement and consult their tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances. See "CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS", "CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS" and "RISK FACTORS".

The Company's head office is located at Suite 128, 7900 Callaghan Road, San Antonio, Texas, 78229, United States of America and its registered office is located at Suite 2500, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V7Y 1B3.

The Common Shares are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market Exchange ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "HIVE", the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") under the trading symbol "HIVE.V" and on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange ("FSE") under the trading symbol "YO0.F". On November 24, 2025, being the last complete trading day prior to the date hereof, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV was C$4.55. On November 24, 2025, being the last complete trading day on Nasdaq prior to the date hereof, the closing price of the Common Shares on Nasdaq was US$3.21. The Company has submitted a notification of listing to list the Offered Shares on Nasdaq and has received conditional approval to list the Offered Shares on the TSXV. Listing on Nasdaq and the TSXV will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of Nasdaq and the TSXV, respectively.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the securities the Company is offering and also adds to and updates certain information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. The second part is the accompanying prospectus, which is part of a registration statement that we filed with the SEC using a "shelf" registration process. The accompanying prospectus provides more general information, some of which may not apply to the Offered Shares offered hereunder. This prospectus supplement is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the accompanying prospectus solely for the purposes of the Offering constituted by this prospectus supplement. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration statement on Form F-3 that we filed with the SEC as a "well-known seasoned issuer" as defined in Rule 405 of the U.S. Securities Act, using the "shelf" registration process.

Before buying any of the securities that we are offering, you should carefully read both this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus with all of the information incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement, as well as the additional information described under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Documents Incorporated by Reference." These documents contain important
information that you should consider when making your investment decision. We have filed or incorporated by

To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the one
hand, and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement, provided that if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document
having a later date-for example, a document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement-the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.

Purchasers should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus to which it relates. Neither the Company nor the Agents have authorized any other person to provide purchasers with additional or different information. If anyone provides purchasers with different or inconsistent information, such purchasers should not rely on it. The Company is offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, these securities only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. Purchasers should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as information the Company has previously filed with the securities regulatory authority in each of the provinces and territories of Canada that is incorporated herein and in the accompanying prospectus by reference, is accurate as of their respective dates only. The Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

This prospectus supplement shall not be used by anyone for any purpose other than in connection with the Offering. The Company does not undertake to update the information contained or incorporated by reference herein or in the accompanying prospectus, except as required by applicable securities laws. Information contained on, or otherwise accessed through, the Company's website shall not be deemed to be a part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus and such information is not incorporated by reference herein or therein.

References in this prospectus supplement to "HIVE", "we", "us" or "our" refer to the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

All dollar amounts in this prospectus supplement are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.


CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements that relate to the Company's current expectations and views of future events. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as "may", "might", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "forecast", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "indicate", "seek", "believe", "predict" or "likely", or the negative of these terms, or other similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes might affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to:

  • effects of any disease or illness or other widespread health concerns, pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of illness that affects local, national or international economies.


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. The Company believes the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this prospectus should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement.

The forward-looking statements in this document are based on what the Company currently believes are reasonable assumptions, including the material assumptions set out in the management discussion and analysis and press releases of the Company (such documents are available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca, in the United States through EDGAR at the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov, or on the Company's website at www.hivedigitaltechnologies.com).

Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer & Emerging Growth Company

Foreign Private Issuer

Historically, we have been considered a "foreign private issuer" (as defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) reporting under the U.S.-Canada multijurisdictional disclosure system (the "MJDS"). Consequently, while the Company is required to file or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents required under Canadian securities law, the Company does not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC.  For example, the Company is exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, as well as Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. Further, the Company's officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and "short swing" profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

An issuer will lose its foreign private issuer status if more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and any one of the following is true: (i) a majority of its directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of its assets are located in the United States or (iii) its  business is administered principally in the United States. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually, as of the last business day of the issuer's most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

As of September 30, 2025, we did not meet the requirements for eligibility as a foreign private issuer. Accordingly, beginning with our next fiscal year, we will be required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including the filing of annual, periodic and current reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, respectively. We will also be required to make changes in our corporate governance practices in accordance with various SEC and Nasdaq rules. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws may be significantly higher as a domestic reporting company.  As a result, our legal and financial compliance costs will increase and may be more time consuming. Further, we will be required to update the registration statement to which this prospectus supplement relates, to comply with the form requirements applicable to a domestic issuer, to the extent that we are required or otherwise elect to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement at that time.

Emerging Growth Company

We are currently an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other publicly traded entities, including being exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We will remain an emerging growth company until the first to occur of (i) March 31, 2027, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (iii) the last day of the fiscal in which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer," as defined in the Exchange Act, which means the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of the second financial quarter of such financial year; or, if it occurs before any of the foregoing dates, the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt over a three-year period. 

As of September 30, 2025, the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million. As a result, commencing as of our next fiscal year, we will be a large accelerated filer, we will no longer qualify as an "emerging growth company" and we will no longer be able to avail ourselves of these reduced reporting requirements.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Company's securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk due to the nature of the Company's business and the present stage of its development. The following risk factors, as well as risks currently unknown to us, could materially and adversely affect the Company's future business, operations and financial condition and could cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company, or its business or financial results, each of which could cause purchasers of the Company's securities to lose part or all of their investment. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face; risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. You should also refer to the risk factors and other information set forth or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the Company's 2025 AIF, the 2025 MD&A, the 2025 Annual Financial Statements and the Interim MD&A. A prospective investor should carefully consider the risk factors set out below along with the other matters set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.

Discussions of certain risks affecting the Company in connection with the Company's business are provided in our annual and interim disclosure documents filed with the various securities regulatory authorities which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.


General Risk Factors

Passive foreign investment company status

Generally, if for any taxable year, 75% or more of our gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of the average quarterly value of our assets are held for the production of, or produce, passive income, we would be characterized as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For purposes of the above calculations, we will be treated as if we hold our proportionate share of the assets of, and receive directly our proportionate share of the income of, any other corporation in which we directly or indirectly own at least 25%, by value, of the shares of such corporation. Passive income includes, among other things, dividends, interest, certain non-active rents and royalties, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. Assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income generally include cash, even if held as working capital or raised in a public offering, marketable securities, and other assets that may produce passive income. 

The determination as to whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC is a factual determination made on an annual basis after the close of each taxable year. This determination is based on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations, and the determination will depend on, among other things, the composition of the non-U.S. corporation's income, expenses and assets, as well as the relative value of its assets (which may fluctuate with the non-U.S. corporation's market capitalization), from time to time and the nature of its activities. While not free from doubt, the Company does not believe it was a PFIC for 2024 and does not expect to be a PFIC for 2025; however, PFIC status is determined annually, and whether the Company will be a PFIC for any year is uncertain. Moreover, the application of the PFIC rules to digital assets and to Bitcoin in particular as well as transactions related thereto is subject to uncertainty. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or for any future taxable year.  If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. person holds our Common Shares, we would continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to that U.S. person for such taxable year and, unless the U.S. person makes certain elections, for future years even if we cease to be a PFIC.  If we are characterized as a PFIC, U.S. holders of our Common Shares may suffer adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including the treatment of all or a portion of any gains realized on the sale of our Common Shares as ordinary income, rather than as capital gain, the loss of the preferential income tax rate applicable to dividends received on our Common Shares by individuals who are U.S. holders, the addition of interest charges to the tax on such gains and certain distributions, and required compliance with certain reporting requirements. A U.S. shareholder of a PFIC generally may mitigate certain of these adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences by making a Qualified Electing Fund ("QEF") election or a mark-to-market election. However, we do not intend to provide the information necessary for U.S. Holders to make QEF elections if we are classified as a PFIC.

Prospective U.S. Holders contemplating an investment in the Offered Shares are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the Company's status as a PFIC and the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply if the Company is determined to be a PFIC in any taxable year.

Risks Related to the Offering of Securities

Discretion over use of proceeds

The Company intends to allocate the net proceeds it will receive from an offering as described under "USE OF PROCEEDS" in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus; however, the Company will have discretion in the actual application of the net proceeds. The Company may elect to allocate the net proceeds differently from that described in "USE OF PROCEEDS" in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus if the Company believes it would be in the Company's best interests to do so. The Company's investors may not agree with the manner in which the Company chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds from an offering. The failure by the Company to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.


Unallocated proceeds of the Offering

As discussed in "USE OF PROCEEDS", the net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general corporate purposes, working capital needs and capital expenditures. Accordingly, the Company's management will have broad discretion concerning the use of the net proceeds of the Offering as well as the timing of their expenditures, and there can be no assurance as to how the funds will be allocated. The failure by the Company's management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and cause the price of the Common Shares to decline. Pending their use, the Company may invest the net proceeds from the Offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

The actual number of Common Shares we will issue under the Distribution Agreement and the net proceeds from this Offering, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

Subject to certain limitations in the Distribution Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a sales notice to the Agents at any time throughout the term of the Distribution Agreement. The number of Offered Shares that are sold by the Agents after delivering a sales notice, and the net proceeds received by us from this Offering, will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of the Common Shares during the sales period, demand for our Common Shares during the sales period and, with respect to sales by the Agents, volume and price limits we set with the Agents because the price per share of each share of Offered Shares sold will fluctuate based on the market price of Common Shares during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of Offered Shares that will be ultimately issued in this Offering, if any.

Dilution

The number of Common Shares that the Company is authorized to issue is unlimited. The Company may, in its sole discretion, as part of future offerings, issue additional Common Shares and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Shares from time to time subject to the rules of any applicable stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed and applicable securities law. The issuance of any additional Common Shares and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Shares may have a dilutive effect on the interests of holders of the Company's Common Shares. If proceeds of the Offering are used to pay down existing indebtedness, the Offering may result in substantial dilution on a per Common Share basis to the Company's net income and certain other financial measures used by the Company.

Return on investment is not guaranteed

There can be no assurance regarding the amount of income to be generated by the Company. Common Shares are equity securities of the Company and are not fixed income securities. Unlike fixed income securities, there is no obligation of the Company to distribute to shareholders a fixed amount or any amount at all, or to return the initial purchase price of the Common Shares on any date in the future. The market value of the Common Shares may deteriorate if the Company is unable to generate sufficient positive returns, and that deterioration may be significant.

Trading price of Common Shares and volatility

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada, have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price that have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur, and the trading price of the Company's shares may be subject to large fluctuations and may decline below the price at which an investor acquired its shares. The trading price may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, which may not be within the Company's control nor be a reflection of the Company's actual operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects. Accordingly, investors may not be able to sell their securities at or above their acquisition cost.

Market discount

The price of the Common Shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. If a shareholder sells its Common Shares, the price received may be more or less than the original investment. The Common Shares may trade at a discount from their book value.


Difficulty for United States investors to effect service of process on the Company or to obtain judgements in the United States.

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, most of the Company's officers and directors are not U.S. residents, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company or the foregoing persons are located outside of the U.S. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or upon such persons who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under United States securities laws. A judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon such civil liabilities may be enforceable in Canada by a Canadian court if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained had jurisdiction, as determined by the Canadian court, in the matter. There is substantial doubt whether an original action could be brought successfully in Canada against any of such persons or us predicated solely upon such civil liabilities.

Risks related to the Company's foreign private issuer status

The Company is currently a "foreign private issuer" as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act, and is permitted, under the MJDS, to prepare disclosure documents filed under the Exchange Act in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. These reporting obligations may be less detailed and/or less frequent than the reporting obligations of U.S. reporting issuers. Consequently, while the Company is required to file or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents required under Canadian securities law, the Company does not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC. The Company's officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and "short swing" profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when persons purchase or sell shares of the Company's stock, as the reporting deadlines under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer.

Further, as long as Company remains a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules and regulations under the U.S. Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, as well as Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. While the Company complies with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the Exchange Act and Regulation FD and shareholders should not expect to receive the same information at the same time as such information is provided by U.S. domestic reporting companies.

In addition, as a foreign private issuer, the Company has the option to follow certain Canadian corporate governance practices, except to the extent that such laws would be contrary to U.S. securities laws, and provided that the Company disclose the requirements it is not following and describe the Canadian practices it follows instead. As a result, the Company's shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of U.S. domestic companies.

As of September 30, 2025, we did not meet the requirements for eligibility as a foreign private issuer. Accordingly, beginning with our next fiscal year, we will be required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including the filing of annual, periodic and current reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, respectively. We will also be required to make changes in our corporate governance practices in accordance with various SEC and Nasdaq rules. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws may be significantly higher as a domestic reporting company.  As a result, our legal and financial compliance costs will increase and may be more time-consuming. Further, we will be required to update this registration statement to comply with the form requirements applicable to a domestic issuer, to the extent that we are required or otherwise elect to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement at that time. For more information see "SUMMARY-Implications of being a Foreign Private Issuer" above.


Classification of Bitcoin as an investment security

The SEC and its staff have taken the position that certain digital assets fall within the definition of a "security" under the U.S. federal securities laws. Although public statements by senior officials and the staff of the SEC indicate that the SEC does not intend to take the position that Bitcoin is a security, such statements are not official policy statements by the SEC and reflect only the speakers' views, which are not binding on the SEC or any other agency or court. Furthermore, the SEC's views in this area have evolved over time and it is difficult to predict the direction or timing of any continuing evolution. It is also possible that a change in the governing administration or the appointment of new SEC commissioners could substantially impact the recent views of the SEC and its staff.

The classification of Bitcoin as a security by the SEC could result in the Company being deemed to be an "investment company" under the U.S. Investment Company Act. Classification as an investment company under the U.S. Investment Company Act requires registration with the SEC. If an investment company fails to register, it would have to stop doing almost all business, and its contracts would become voidable. Registration is time-consuming, restrictive and would require a restructuring of the Company's operations, and the Company would be very constrained in the kind of business it could do as a registered investment company. Further, the Company would become subject to substantial regulation concerning management, operations, transactions with affiliated persons and portfolio composition, and would need to file reports under the U.S. Investment Company Act regime. The cost of such compliance would result in the Company incurring substantial additional expenses, and may have materially adverse impact on the Company's ability to conduct business.

Forward looking statements

Some statements contained in this prospectus supplement are not historical facts, but rather are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such risks and uncertainties include interpretation of results, accidents, equipment breakdowns, labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in production, delays in development activities, political risks, the inherent uncertainty or production fluctuations and failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis.

Other risks.

Prospective purchasers should carefully consider the risks in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus to which it relates (including subsequently filed documents incorporated by reference), including in our short form prospectus under "Risk Factors". If any of such or other risks occurs, the Company's business, prospects, financial condition, financial performance and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. In that case, shares of our common stock could decline in value and purchasers could lose all or part of their investment. There is no assurance that any risk management steps taken by the Company will avoid future loss due to the occurrence of such risks or other unforeseen risks.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the Offering are not determinable in light of the nature of the distribution. The net proceeds of any given distribution of Offered Shares through the Agents in an "at-the-market offering" as defined in NI 44-102 and an "at-the-market offering" as defined in Rule 415 under the U.S. Securities Act will represent the gross proceeds after deducting the applicable compensation payable to the Agents under the Distribution Agreement and the expenses of the distribution. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities for general corporate and working capital requirements, including to fund ongoing operations and/or working capital requirements, to repay indebtedness outstanding from time to time, to complete future acquisitions, including procuring cryptocurrency mining equipment and acquiring or expanding facilities to build out its planned HPC network and to operate the servers and computer equipment. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION".


Although the Company intends to apply the net proceeds to the objectives set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary, and the ultimate use of proceeds from the Offering may vary materially from that set forth above. Accordingly, those and other factors may result in management of the Company exercising discretion in applying the net proceeds from the sale of Offered Shares. See "RISK FACTORS - General Risk Factors - Discretion over use of proceeds."

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

Overview

The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value. As of the date hereof, there are 237,966,998Common Shares and no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

In addition, as of the date of this Prospectus, there were: (i) 2,636,200 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options of the Company ("Options") at a weighted average exercise price of C$6.12; (ii)  14,029,871 Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding restricted share units of the Company ("RSUs"); (iii)  78,528 Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debentures outstanding at a conversion price of C$15.00; and (iv) 3,004,375 Common Shares reserved for issuance on exercise of 3,004,375 issued and outstanding Common Share purchase warrants of the Company with a weighted average exercise price of C5.96, for a total of 257,460,972 Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis.

See "DESCRIPTION OF THE SHARE CAPITAL - COMMON SHARES" in the base shelf prospectus for a detailed description of our Common Shares.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock in this offering and the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

As of September 30, 2025, we had net tangible book value of approximately $600 million, or $2.54 per share of our common stock, based upon 236,817,495 of our common stock outstanding as of that date. Historical net tangible book value per share is equal to our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Net tangible book value does not include the value of intangible assets, such as the value of any Bitcoin held by us. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of our common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

After giving effect to the sale of 93,457,944 shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $3.21 per share, the last reported sale price on Nasdaq on November 24 2025, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as-adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 would have been approximately $890,845,000 , or approximately $2.70 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in as-adjusted net tangible book value of $0.16 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $0.51 per share to investors participating in this offering at the assumed public offering price.

Dilution per share to new investors is determined by subtracting net tangible book value per share after this offering from the public offering price per share paid by new investors. The following table illustrates this per share dilution to new investors:

The table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of $300,000,000.00 in shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $3.21 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on November 24, 2025. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only and may differ based on the actual offering price and the actual number of shares offered. 

The information discussed above is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual public offering prices and other terms of this offering determined at the time of sale.

The table and discussion above are based on 236,817,495 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and excludes:

  • 2,711,300 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Options at a weighted average exercise price of C$6.12

  • 11,389,971 Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding RSUs;

  • 147,717 Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debentures outstanding at a conversion price of C$15.00; and

  • 3,220,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance on exercise of 3,220,000 issued and outstanding Common Share purchase warrants of the Company with a weighted average exercise price of C$5.89, for a total of 254,286,483 Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis.

Except as otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise or forfeiture of options, no grant of equity awards and no vesting and settlement of the outstanding restricted stock units, deferred stock units and performance stock units described above.

To the extent that any options or warrants are exercised, any restricted stock units, deferred stock units or performance stock units vest and are settled, new equity awards are issued under our equity incentive plans, or we otherwise issue additional shares of our common stock in the future (including shares issued in connection with strategic and other transactions), there will be further dilution to new investors.

We expect to continue to raise capital when and as needed and at the time and in the manner most advantageous to us. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity, equity-linked, convertible debt securities or other securities that are exercisable for, or convertible into, shares of our common stock, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company has entered into the Distribution Agreement with the Agents under which the Company may issue and sell from time to time up to US$300,000,000 of Offered Shares through the Agents. Sales of the Offered Shares, if any, will be made in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in NI 44-102 and an "at-the-market offering" as defined in Rule 415 under the U.S. Securities Act. The Offering is being made in the United States under the terms of the Company's registration statement on Form F-3, as supplemented by this prospectus supplement and concurrently in Canada under the terms of a prospectus supplement and base short form shelf prospectus.


Subject to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement and upon delivery of a placement notice from the Company to a designated Agent, the Agent will solicit offers to purchase the Offered Shares directly on the TSXV, Nasdaq or on any other existing trading market for the Common Shares in Canada or the United States. The placement notice will specify the number of Offered Shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Offered Shares that may be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Company or the Agent may suspend the offering of the Offered Shares upon notice and subject to other conditions. Subject to the pricing parameters in a placement notice, the Offered Shares will be distributed at the market prices prevailing at the time of the sale. As a result, prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, the Agents will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell, consistent with normal trading and sales practices, applicable laws and the applicable rules of the TSXV, Nasdaq or any other applicable marketplace within the meaning of National Instrument 21-101 Marketplace Operation of the Canadian Securities Administrators, on our behalf, all of the Offered Shares requested to be sold by the Company.

Either the Company or the Agents may suspend any sale of the Offered Shares being made through the Agents under the Distribution Agreement upon notice to the other party. The Offering pursuant to the Distribution Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all of the Offered Shares and (ii) the termination of the Distribution Agreement by the Company or the Agents as provided therein. The Company has the right in its sole discretion to terminate the Distribution Agreement by giving ten days' notice. Each Agent has the right (solely with respect to itself) in its sole discretion to terminate the Distribution Agreement by giving ten days' notice or immediately on the occurrence of certain events.

The Company will pay the Agents compensation for their services in connection with the sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per Offered Share sold pursuant to the Offering, pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Agents for all of their reasonable and documented expenses in an amount not to exceed $75,000 plus an additional $15,000 for each subsequent fiscal quarter. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction or filing fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal the net proceeds to us from the sale of such Offered Shares.

There is no minimum amount of funds that must be raised under the Offering. This means that the Offering may terminate after only raising a small portion of the offering amount set out herein, or none at all. An investor will not be entitled to a return of its investment if only a portion of the disclosed maximum offering amount set out herein is in fact raised.

The Agents will provide written confirmation to us no later than the opening of the trading day immediately following the trading day on which the Agents have made sales of the Offered Shares under the Distribution Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of Offered Shares sold on such day, the average price of the Offered Shares sold on such day, the aggregate gross proceeds, the commission payable by us to the Agents with respect to such sales and the net proceeds payable to us.

Settlement for sales of the Offered Shares will occur on the first business day (or such earlier day as is agreed by the parties) following the date on which any sales are made. Sales of the Offered Shares will be settled through the facilities of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., The Depository Trust Company, or by such other means as the Company and the Agents may agree.

In connection with the sales of the Offered Shares on our behalf, the Agents may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, and the compensation paid to the Agents may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed in the Distribution Agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agents against or in respect of, among other things, certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under applicable securities legislation in Canada and the U.S. Securities Act. In addition, we have agreed to pay the reasonable expenses of the Agents in connection with the Offering, pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement.


The Agents and their affiliates will not engage in any transactions to stabilize or maintain the price of the Common Shares in connection with any offer or sales of Common Shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, and neither the Agents nor any of their affiliates involved in the distribution and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with the Agents has over-allotted, or will over-allot Common Shares in connection with the distribution or effected, or will effect, any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares.

The Agents and their affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for the Company and its affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the Agents will not engage in any market making activities involving the Common Shares while the Offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement. If the Company or any Agent has reason to believe that the Common Shares are no longer "actively-traded securities" as defined under Rule 101(c)(l) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, that party will promptly notify the other and sales of Common Shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement or any terms agreement will be suspended until in the Company's and the Agents' collective judgment Rule 101(c)(1) or another exemptive provision has been satisfied.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is, as of the date hereof, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Tax Act, generally applicable to a holder who acquires, as beneficial owner, Common Shares pursuant to the Offering, and who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, holds Common Shares as capital property and deals at arm's length and is not affiliated with the Company or any Agent. A holder who meets all of the foregoing requirements is referred to as a "Holder" herein, and this summary only addresses such Holders. Generally, Common Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder, provided the Holder does not hold the Common Shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.


This summary is not applicable to a holder (i) that is a "financial institution", as defined in the Tax Act for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules in the Tax Act, (ii) that is a "specified financial institution", as defined in the Tax Act, (iii) of an interest which is a "tax shelter investment" as defined in the Tax Act, (iv) that has elected to determine its Canadian tax results in a "functional currency" other than the Canadian dollar, (v) that has entered into or will enter into a "derivative forward agreement" or a "synthetic disposition arrangement" with respect to the Common Shares, or (vi) that receives dividends on Common Shares under or as part of a "dividend rental arrangement", as defined in the Tax Act. Any such holder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to an investment in Common Shares.

Additional considerations, not discussed herein, may be applicable to a Holder that is a corporation resident in Canada and that is or becomes (or does not deal at arm's length with a corporation resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act that is, or becomes) as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition of the Common Shares, controlled by a non-resident person (or a group of non-resident persons that do not deal at arm's length with each other for the purpose of the Tax Act) for purposes of the "foreign affiliate dumping" rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the consequences of acquiring Common Shares. In addition, this summary does not address the deductibility of interest by an investor who has borrowed money to acquire the Common Shares.

This summary is based upon the provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof, all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Proposed Amendments") and the Company's understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA"), published in writing by it prior to the date hereof. This summary assumes the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in their current form, or at all.

This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and, except for the Proposed Amendments, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in the law or any changes in the CRA's administrative policies and assessing practices, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action or decision, nor does it take into account or anticipate any other federal or any provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ significantly from those discussed herein. This summary is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any Holder are made. Consequently, Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences applicable to them, having regard to their own particular circumstances.

For purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Common Shares (including dividends, adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition) must generally be expressed in Canadian dollars. Amounts denominated in any other currency must be converted into Canadian dollars generally based on the exchange rate quoted by the Bank of Canada for the date such amounts arise and in accordance with the detailed rules in the Tax Act. As a result, the amount of dividends required to be included in the income of, and capital gains or capital losses realized by, a Holder may be affected by fluctuations in the Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate.

Taxation of Resident Holders

The following portion of this summary applies to Holders (as defined above) who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty or convention, are or are deemed to be resident in Canada at all relevant times (herein, "Resident Holders") and this portion of the summary only addresses such Resident Holders. Certain Resident Holders who might not be considered to hold their Common Shares as capital property may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to have them and any other "Canadian security" (as defined in the Tax Act) be treated as capital property by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. Resident Holders contemplating such election should consult their own tax advisors for advice as to whether it is available and advisable in their particular circumstances.


Taxation of Dividends

A Resident Holder will be required to include in computing income for a taxation year any dividends received, or deemed to be received, in the year by the Resident Holder on the Common Shares. In the case of a Resident Holder that is an individual (other than certain trusts), such dividends will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable under the Tax Act to taxable dividends received from "taxable Canadian corporations" (as defined in the Tax Act), including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit provisions where the Company designates a dividend as an "eligible dividend" in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act. There may be restrictions on the ability of the Company to designate any particular dividend as an "eligible dividend".

A dividend received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation must be included in computing its income but will generally be deductible in computing the corporation's taxable income, subject to all of the rules and restrictions under the Tax Act in that regard. In certain circumstances, subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act will treat a taxable dividend received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain. A Resident Holder that is a "private corporation" or a "subject corporation" (each as defined in the Tax Act), generally will be liable to pay an additional tax (refundable under certain circumstances) under Part IV of the Tax Act on dividends received or deemed to be received on the Common Shares in a year to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing such Resident Holder's taxable income for the year.

Disposition of Common Shares

A Resident Holder who disposes, or is deemed to dispose, of Common Shares generally will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are exceeded by) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of such Common Shares, as the case may be, immediately before the disposition or deemed disposition. The adjusted cost base of a Common Share to a Resident Holder will be determined in accordance with the Tax Act by averaging the cost to the Resident Holder of  the Common Share with the adjusted cost base of all other Common Shares, if any, held by the Resident Holder as capital property immediately prior to the acquisition. The taxation of capital gains and losses is generally described below under the heading "Capital Gains and Capital Losses".

Capital Gains and Capital Losses

A Resident Holder is required to include in computing income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") realized by the Resident Holder in such taxation year. Subject to and in accordance with the rules contained in the Tax Act, a Resident Holder is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an "allowable capital loss") realized in a particular taxation year against taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in the year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in a particular taxation year may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition or deemed disposition of a Common Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends received or deemed to have been received by such Resident Holder on such shares, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a Resident Holder that is a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns the Common Shares, directly or indirectly, through a partnership or trust. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.

A Resident Holder that is throughout the relevant taxation year a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" or "substantive CCPC" (both as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on certain investment income, including amounts in respect of net taxable capital gains. Such Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.


Alternative Minimum Tax

Capital gains realized and dividends received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder that is an individual (other than certain specified trusts) may give rise to alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Taxation of Non-Resident Holders

The following portion of this summary is generally applicable to Holders who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty or convention and at all relevant times: (i) are neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada, and (ii) do not use or hold Common Shares in the course of a business carried on or deemed to be carried on in Canada. Holders who meet all of the foregoing requirements are referred to herein as "Non-Resident Holders", and this portion of the summary only addresses such Non-Resident Holders. Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere. Such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

Taxation of Dividends

Dividends paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited to a Non-Resident Holder by the Company are subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend unless reduced by the terms of an applicable tax treaty or convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident. For example, under the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the "Treaty"), the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid or credited to a Non-Resident Holder who is resident in the U.S. for purposes of the Treaty and entitled to full benefits under the Treaty (a "U.S. Holder") is generally reduced to 15% of the gross amount of the dividend (or 5% in the case of a U.S. Holder that is a company beneficially owning at least 10% of the Company's voting shares). Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Disposition of Common Shares

A Non-Resident Holder generally will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of a Common Share unless such Common Share constitutes "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition and the gain is not exempt from tax pursuant to the terms of an applicable tax treaty or convention.

Provided the Common Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange", as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSXV, Nasdaq, and FSE) at the time of disposition, the Common Shares will generally not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder at that time, unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition the following two conditions are satisfied concurrently: (i) (a) the Non-Resident Holder; (b) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm's length; (c) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; or (d) any combination of the persons and partnerships described in (a) through (c), owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of the Company; and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Common Shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of: real or immovable property situated in Canada, "Canadian resource properties", "timber resource properties" (each as defined in the Tax Act), and options in respect of, or interests in or for civil law rights in, such properties (whether or not such property exists). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, the Common Shares may be deemed to be taxable Canadian property.

Even if the Common Shares are taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder, such Non-Resident Holder may be exempt from tax under the Tax Act on the disposition of such Common Shares by virtue of an applicable income tax treaty or convention. In cases where a Non-Resident Holder disposes, or is deemed to dispose, of a Common Share that is taxable Canadian property of that Non-Resident Holder, and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption from tax under the Tax Act or pursuant to the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention, the consequences under the heading "CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS - TAXATION OF RESIDENT HOLDERS - CAPITAL GAINS AND CAPITAL LOSSES" will generally be applicable to such disposition. Non- Resident Holders who may hold Common Shares as taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.


CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion describes the U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of Offered Shares by U.S. Holders (as defined herein). This discussion applies to U.S. Holders that purchase Offered Shares pursuant to this Offering and hold such Offered Shares as capital assets (generally, assets held for investment purposes). This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue of Code of 1986 as amended (the "IRC"), U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to specific U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as banks and certain other financial institutions, insurance companies, broker- dealers and traders in securities or other persons that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, persons who hold Offered Shares as part of a "straddle," "hedge," "conversion transaction," "synthetic security" or integrated investment, persons that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar, persons that own directly, indirectly or through attribution 10% or more of the voting power or value of our shares, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, partnerships and other pass-through entities (or arrangements treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and investors in such pass-through entities). This discussion does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax considerations or any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax considerations. We have not requested, and will not request, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or an opinion of legal counsel with respect to any U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of Offered Shares, and as a result there can be no assurance that the IRS will not disagree with or challenge any of the conclusions described herein.

As used in this discussion, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of Offered Shares that is, a citizen or an individual who is a resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (2) a corporation (or entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (4) a trust (x) with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (y) that has elected under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership or pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes is the beneficial owner of Offered Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to an investment in the Offered Shares will depend in part upon the status and activities of such entity and the particular partner. A U.S. Holder that is a partner (or other owner) of a pass-through entity that acquires Offered Shares is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to it and its partners of the ownership and disposition of Offered Shares.

Persons considering an investment in Offered Shares are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences applicable to them relating to the ownership and disposition of Offered Shares, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences

Special, generally adverse, U.S. federal income tax rules apply to U.S. persons owning stock of a PFIC. In general, a corporation organized outside the United States will be treated as a PFIC, for any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is "passive income", or (2) on average at least 50% of the value of its assets, determined on a quarterly basis, are assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, royalties, rents, and certain net gains. Assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income generally include cash, even if held as working capital or raised in a public offering, marketable securities, and other assets that may produce passive income. Generally, in determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a proportionate share of the income and assets of each corporation or partnership in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account.


The determination as to whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC is a factual determination made on an annual basis after the close of each taxable year. This determination is based on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations, and the determination will depend on, among other things, the composition of the non-U.S. corporation's income, expenses and assets, as well as the relative value of its assets (which may fluctuate with the non-U.S. corporation's market capitalization), from time to time and the nature of its activities. While not free from doubt, the Company does not believe it was a PFIC for 2024 and does not expect to be a PFIC for 2025; however, PFIC status is determined annually, and whether the Company will be a PFIC for any year is uncertain. Moreover, the application of the PFIC rules to digital assets and to Bitcoin in particular, as well as transactions related thereto is subject to uncertainty. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or for any future taxable year. Prospective U.S. Holders contemplating an investment in the Offered Shares are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the Company's status as a PFIC and the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply if the Company is determined to be a PFIC in any taxable year.

If we are a PFIC in any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns Offered Shares, such U.S. Holder would be liable for additional taxes and interest charges under the "PFIC excess distribution regime" upon a distribution paid during a taxable year that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period for the Offered Shares, and (2) any gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition, including a pledge, of the Offered Shares, whether or not we continue to be a PFIC. Under the PFIC excess distribution regime, the tax on such distribution or gain would be determined by allocating the distribution or gain ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for Offered Shares. The amount allocated to the current taxable year (i.e., the year in which the distribution occurs or the gain is recognized) and any year prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income earned in the current taxable year. The amount allocated to other taxable years will be taxed at the highest marginal rates in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, to ordinary income for each such taxable year, and an interest charge, generally applicable to underpayments of tax, will be added to the tax.

If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds Offered Shares, we will generally continue to be treated as a PFIC by that holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder holds the Offered Shares, unless we cease to meet the requirements for PFIC status and the U.S. Holder makes a "deemed sale" election with respect to the Offered Shares. If the election is made, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to sell the Offered Shares it holds at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we were treated as a PFIC, and any gain recognized from such deemed sale would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime. After the deemed sale election, the U.S. Holder's Offered Shares would not be treated as shares of a PFIC unless we subsequently become a PFIC.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds Offered Shares and one of our non-U.S. corporate subsidiaries is also a PFIC (i.e., a lower-tier PFIC), such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC and would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions by the lower-tier PFIC and on gain from the disposition of shares of the lower-tier PFIC even though such U.S. Holder would not receive the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to our non-U.S. subsidiaries.


If we are a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to tax under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions or gain recognized on Offered Shares if such U.S. Holder makes a valid "mark-to-market" election for our Offered Shares. A mark-to-market election is available to a U.S. Holder only for "marketable stock." Our Offered Shares will be marketable stock if they are listed on a "qualified exchange" or other market within the meaning of applicable Treasury regulations, and are regularly traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. We expect that our Common Shares will continue to be listed on Nasdaq, which is a qualified exchange for these purposes, but no assurances may be given in this regard. If a mark-to-market election is in effect, a U.S. Holder generally would take into account, as ordinary income each year, the excess of the fair market value of Offered Shares held at the end of such taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such Offered Shares. The U.S. Holder would also take into account, as an ordinary loss each year, the excess of the adjusted tax basis of such Offered Shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the excess of amounts previously included in income over ordinary losses deducted as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder's tax basis in Offered Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss recognized as a result of the mark-to-market election. Any gain from a sale, exchange or other disposition of Offered Shares in any taxable year in which we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income and any loss from such sale, exchange or other disposition would be treated first as ordinary loss (to the extent of any net mark-to market gains previously included in income) and thereafter as capital loss.

A mark-to-market election will not apply to Offered Shares for any taxable year during which we are not a PFIC, but will remain in effect with respect to any subsequent taxable year in which we become a PFIC. Such election may not apply to our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to tax under the PFIC excess distribution regime with respect to any lower-tier PFICs that we own notwithstanding the U.S. Holder's mark-to-market election for the Offered Shares.

The tax consequences that would apply if we are a PFIC would also be different from those described above if a U.S. Holder were able to make a valid QEF election. If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election with respect to a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will be currently taxable on its pro rata share of the PFIC's ordinary earnings and net capital gain (at ordinary income and capital gain rates, respectively) for each taxable year that the entity is classified as a PFIC and will not be required to include such amounts in income when actually distributed by the PFIC. At this time we do not intend to provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary for a U.S. Holder to make a QEF election, and therefore prospective investors should assume that a QEF election will not be available.

As discussed below under "Distributions," notwithstanding any election made with respect to the Offered Shares, if we are a PFIC in either the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, dividends received with respect to the Offered Shares will not qualify for reduced income tax rates.

Each U.S. person that is an investor in a PFIC is generally required to file annual reports with the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding whether we are a PFIC in any given taxable year and on the consequences of failing to file any required report with the IRS.

The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are very complex. Prospective U.S. investors are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the impact of PFIC status on the ownership and disposition of Offered Shares, the consequences to them of this investment if we are a PFIC in any taxable year, the inability to make a QEF election with respect to our Offered Shares and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the ownership and disposition to our Offered Shares if we are a PFIC in any taxable year.


Distributions

Subject to the discussion above under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences" a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution with respect to Offered Shares generally will be required to include the gross amount of such distribution (before reduction for any Canadian withholding taxes withheld therefrom) in gross income as a dividend when actually or constructively received to the extent paid out of our current and/or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent that a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital and reduce (but not below zero) the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder's Offered Shares. To the extent the distribution exceeds the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder's Offered Shares, the remainder will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Offered Shares (as discussed below). Because we may not account for our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, U.S. Holders should expect all distributions to be reported to them as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Distributions on Offered Shares that are treated as dividends generally will constitute income from sources outside the United States for foreign tax credit purposes and generally will constitute passive category income. Such dividends will not be eligible for the "dividends received" deduction generally allowed to corporate shareholders with respect to dividends received from U.S. corporations.

Dividends paid by a "qualified foreign corporation" are eligible for taxation in the case of non-corporate U.S. Holders at a reduced long-term capital gains rate rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income provided that certain requirements are met. A non-U.S. corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (a) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information provision, or (b) with respect to any dividend it pays on Offered Shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Subject to the discussion above under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences", we expect that dividends paid on Offered Shares will be treated as "qualified dividend income" in the hands of non-corporate U.S. Holders, provided that such U.S. Holders satisfy certain conditions, including conditions relating to holding period and the absence of certain risk reduction transactions. Each non-corporate U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends with regard to its particular circumstances.

Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Offered Shares

Subject to the discussion above under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences" a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of Offered Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized (i.e., the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received) on the sale, exchange or other disposition and such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Offered Shares, in each case as determined in U.S. dollars. Such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain taxable at a reduced rate for non-corporate U.S. Holders or long-term capital loss if, on the date of sale, exchange or other disposition, the Offered Shares were held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year. Any capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder that is not long-term capital gain is taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder from the sale or other disposition of Offered Shares will generally be gain or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.


Receipt of Foreign Currency

The gross amount of any payment in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be included by each U.S. Holder in income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day such U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives the payment in accordance with its regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of the payment, the U.S. Holder should generally not be required to recognize any foreign currency gain or loss with respect to the receipt of foreign currency. If, instead, the foreign currency is converted at a later date, any currency gains or losses resulting from the conversion of the foreign currency will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their U.S. tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.

Additional Tax on Net Investment Income

U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts are generally required to pay an additional 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the U.S. Holder's "net investment income" for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the U.S. Holder's modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold. A U.S. Holder's "net investment income" generally includes, among other things, dividends and net gains from disposition of property (other than property held in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business). Accordingly, dividends on and capital gain from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Offered Shares may be subject to this additional tax. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the additional tax on net investment income.

Information Reporting

U.S. Holders should be aware of reporting requirements with respect to the holding of certain foreign financial assets, including stock of foreign issuers which is not held in an account maintained by certain financial institutions, if the aggregate value of all of such assets exceeds US$50,000. U.S. Holders must attach a complete IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with their return for each year in which they hold our Offered Shares. U.S. Holders should also be aware that if we are or become a PFIC, they will generally be required to file IRS Form 8261 during any taxable year in which such U.S. Holder recognizes gain or receives an excess distribution or with respect to which the U.S. Holder has made certain elections. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting rules to the Offered Shares and their particular situations.

EACH PROSPECTIVE U.S. INVESTOR IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON SHARES IN LIGHT OF THE INVESTOR'S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of British Columbia. Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, several of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such persons or to enforce against them or against us, judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, investors should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us, our officers or directors, or other said persons, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States; or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such directors, officers or experts predicated upon the United States federal securities laws or any securities or other laws of any state or jurisdiction of the United States.

In addition, there is doubt as to the applicability of the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities law to original actions instituted in Canada. It may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Canada.


LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters related to the Offering will be passed upon on the Company's behalf by MLT Aikins LLP and Kavinoky Cook LLP, and on behalf of the Agents by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Wildeboer Dellelce LLP. As of the date hereof, MLT Aikins LLP and Wildeboer Dellelce LLP, and each of their respective partners and associates, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in their respective groups, less than 1% of any class of outstanding securities of the Company.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The transfer agent and registrar of the Company is Computershare Investor Services Inc. with its principal offices in Vancouver, British Columbia and Toronto, Ontario.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of an “automatic shelf” registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), using a “shelf” registration process. Under this process, we or a selling shareholder may offer and sell securities from time to time. This prospectus only provides you with a general description of the ordinary shares that we or a selling shareholder may offer. Each time we or a selling shareholder sells securities, we will provide a supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the terms of that offering, including the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should carefully read both this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us, together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Neither we nor any selling shareholder has authorized anyone to provide you with any information other than that contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or any selling shareholder. Neither we nor any selling shareholder take responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. Neither we nor any selling shareholder is making any offer to sell the securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make an offer or solicitation.

You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any document incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the applicable documents, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of securities. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

When used in this prospectus, the terms "HIVE," the "Company," "we," "our" and "us" refer to HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires.

Market and Industry Data

Market data and certain industry forecasts used in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, were obtained from market research, publicly available information and industry publications.

We have not independently verified such information, and we do not make any representation as to the accuracy of such information. Further, we cannot assure you that a third-party using different methods to assemble analyze or compute market data would obtain the same results. In addition, assumptions and estimates of our and our industry's future performance are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in "Risk Factors". These and other factors could cause our future performance to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates. See the section titled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".

See "Currency Presentation and Exchange Rate Information".

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Company's securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk due to the nature of the Company's business and the present stage of its development. The following risk factors, as well as risks currently unknown to us, could materially and adversely affect the Company's future business, operations and financial condition and could cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company, or its business or financial results, each of which could cause purchasers of the Company's securities to lose part or all of their investment. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face; risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. You should also refer to the risk factors and other information set forth or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement, including the Company's 2025 AIF and the 2025 MD&A and annual financial statements (as defined below), and the related notes. A prospective investor should carefully consider the risk factors set out below along with the other matters set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Discussions of certain risks affecting the Company in connection with the Company's business are provided in our annual and interim disclosure documents filed with the various securities regulatory authorities which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Risks Related to the Offering of Securities

Discretion over use of proceeds

The Company intends to allocate the net proceeds it will receive from an offering as described under "USE OF PROCEEDS" in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement; however, the Company will have discretion in the actual application of the net proceeds. The Company may elect to allocate the net proceeds differently from that described in "USE OF PROCEEDS" in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement if the Company believes it would be in the Company's best interests to do so. The Company's investors may not agree with the manner in which the Company chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds from an offering. The failure by the Company to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.

Absence of a public market for certain of the securities

There is no public market for the debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, securities purchase contracts or units and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Company does not currently intend to apply for listing of the debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, securities purchase contracts or units on any securities exchanges. If the debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, securities purchase contracts or units are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices depending on prevailing interest rates (as applicable), the market for similar securities and other factors, including general economic conditions and the Company's financial condition. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for the debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, share purchase contracts or units, or that a trading market for these securities will develop at all.


Trading price of Common Shares and volatility

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price that have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur, and the trading price of the Company's shares may be subject to large fluctuations and may decline below the price at which an investor acquired its shares. The trading price may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, which may not be within the Company's control nor be a reflection of the Company's actual operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects. Accordingly, investors may not be able to sell their securities at or above their acquisition cost.

Forward looking statements

Some statements contained in this prospectus are not historical facts, but rather are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such risks and uncertainties include interpretation of results, accidents, equipment breakdowns, labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in production, delays in development activities, political risks, the inherent uncertainty or production fluctuations and failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis.

Summary Description of the Business

HIVE is a growth oriented, publicly listed company. The Company operates in two segments: (a) the provision of data server facilities for the purposes of generating computational power, namely Hashrate which can be sold to mining pools or used in support of validating transactions on the Bitcoin network and (b) the provision of HPC data centers which can be used by customers for artificial intelligence and graphics rendering, among other things. The Company owns and leases predominantly green-energy-powered data center facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Paraguay; the Company provisions computational power at each of these sites. The Company sells the computational power to various third-party aggregators, including mining pools, enterprises supported by AI, and other miscellaneous data center applications. HIVE endeavors to position itself as a large-scale provisioner of computational power, diversified in applications and across jurisdictions, powered by renewable energy and operating an efficient corporate structure to minimize costs.

The Company is in the process of diversifying its business by utilizing its fleet of GPU-based cards to build systems that can provide computational power on a large scale. In addition, the Company intends to branch out into the rental of GPU server nodes and clusters via marketplaces and is exploring the development of a new service to be known as BUZZ Cloud. This cloud service is intended to offer to users a selection of options to access computing resources ranging from a virtual instance of a single GPU to a bare-metal server equipped with up to 10 GPUs to clusters of multiple servers.

For the purposes of this section:

"Bitcoin" shall refer to the native token of the Bitcoin Network which utilizes the SHA-256 algorithm. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer payment system and the digital currency of the same name which uses open-source cryptography to control the creation and transfer of such digital currency, with "Bitcoin Network" meaning the network of computers running the software protocol underlying Bitcoin and which network maintains the database of Bitcoin ownership and facilitates the transfer of Bitcoin among parties, and "SHA-256" meaning a cryptographic Hash algorithm. SHA-256 generates an almost-unique 256-bit (32-byte) signature for a text. The most well-known cryptocurrencies that utilize the SHA-256 algorithm are Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash;

"Blockchain" shall refer to an immutable, decentralized public transaction ledger which records transactions, such as financial transactions in cryptocurrency, in chronological order. Bitcoin and Ethereum are examples of well-known and widely distributed blockchains;

"GPU" shall refer to a graphics processing unit, a programmable logic chip (processor) specialized for display functions and effective at solving digital currency hashing algorithms;

"Hash" shall refer to the output of a hash function, i.e. the output of the fundamental mathematical computation of a particular cryptocurrency's computer code which miners ("Miners") execute, and "Petahash" and "Exahash" or "PH" and "EH" mean, respectively, 1x1015 Hashes and 1x1018 Hashes; and

"Hashrate" shall refer to a measure of mining power whereby the expected income from mining is directly proportional to a Miner's hashrate normalized by the total hashrate of the network.


As of the date hereof, HIVE operates at eleven (11) data center sites. More detailed information regarding the business of the Company as well as its mining operations can be found in the 2025 AIF under the heading "DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS - Description of the Business". The Company's operating and maintenance expenses are composed of electricity to power its computing equipment as well as cooling and lighting and other aspects of operating computer equipment. Other site expenses include leasing costs for the facilities, personnel salaries, internet access, equipment maintenance and software optimization, and facility security, maintenance and management.

The following is a summary of the Company’s various data center sites as of September 30, 2025:

Site Location Installed Mining Hashpower(2)
Lachute Facility Québec, Canada 1,393 PH/s
Sweden (Boden) Facility Boden, Sweden 1,476 PH/s
Sweden (Boden) Facility 2 Boden, Sweden 294 PH/s
Sweden (Robertsfors) Facility Robertsfors, Sweden 72 PH/s
Sweden (Notviken) Facility Lulea, Sweden 45 PH/s
New Brunswick Facility New Brunswick, Canada 3,160 PH/s(1)
Montreal Facility Québec, Canada N/A
Valenzuela Facility Valenzuela, Paraguay 3,419 PH/s
Yguazu Facility Yguazu, Paraguay 11,481 PH/s
Stockholm Facility Stockholm, Sweden N/A
Montreal Facility 2 Lévis, Quebec N/A
Toronto Facility Toronto, Ontario 92 PH/s

Note:

(1)

The figure includes 179 PH/s of BTC equivalent hashrate from ASICs mining on the SCRYPT algorithm.

(2)

The figures provided in this table are approximations, and the actual computational power in use varies due to several factors, including the underlying prices of cryptocurrencies, demand for services, prices of power, replacement, relocation, or retirement of Miners, etc.

Business Objectives and Milestones

The Company's business objectives are to increase shareholder value and continue its operations as one of the globally diversified publicly traded data center companies with a focus on the development of data centers, the generation of Hashpower and HPC, primarily powered by green energy. The Company's expectations are based on significant assumptions and are subject to significant risks. "CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" and "RISK FACTORS".

The Company's facilities are strategically located in geographical locations where electricity costs are low due to an abundance of green energy, such as hydro power. Offering of HPC Services In the 2024 financial year, the Company commenced an expansion into the high-performance computing ("HPC") space through the conversion of certain graphics processing units ("GPU") cards into an on-demand GPU cloud service for companies operating in the AI industry. This cloud service allows users to access a virtual instance of single or multiple GPUs, in order to provide an array of computing power. The Company's primary aim at this time is to provide HPC services to small and medium-sized AI businesses with an efficient and cost-effective alternative with substantial savings from the major cloud service providers. Although the Company has been able to generate revenue in previous financial quarters, there is no assurance that it will achieve profitability in the future, whether due to a lack of customer acceptance, technological challenges, competing products, weakening economic conditions, increased regulatory costs or other factors, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's overall business, operations and financial results. See the 2025 AIF under the headings "GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS - Three Year History - Fiscal 2024 - Growth of HPC Business using GPU compute for AI revenues" and "GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS - Three Year History - Fiscal 2025 - HPC Hosting and Expansion".


RECENT UPDATES

Acquisition of HIVE Toronto Facility

On September 17, 2025, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of a facility and its property from 1294339 Ontario Inc. ("129 Ontario Inc.") with a total installed capacity of approximately 7.2 megawatts, located in Toronto, Canada (the "Toronto Facility"). This transaction is not a related a party transaction. In consideration for the acquisition of the Toronto Facility, HIVE paid to 129 Ontario Inc. C$12 million and issued 1,000,000 Common Shares at a deemed price of C$5.25 million for an aggregate acquisition price of $17.25 million. For additional information, please see the Toronto Facility MCR.

The Company intends that the Toronto Facility will initially commence as a Bitcoin mining facility as the Company installs approximately 5MW of owned older-generation miners to take advantage of the immediate access to power at the facility. The Company intends to rapidly engage a top-tier contractor to convert the site into a tier-3 data center facility. The anticipated cost of transitioning the facility to tier-3 is approximately $35 million. The Company is evaluating renting out the space for collocation or outfitting the site with its own NVIDIA GPUs to integrate with its Canadian Sovereign Cloud offering. HIVE expects the total cost to acquire equipment that will be housed in the Toronto Facility to be approximately $120 million.

Yguazú Facility Build-out

The Company has completed the construction and build-out of a 200 MW data centre, which comprises the Yguazú Facility. The project has two phases. The first phase, the completion and build-out of 100MW of infrastructure, has been completed as of April 2025.

Sweden Tax Matters

The Swedish Tax Agency ("STA"), has raised two claims involving the application of Sweden's Value Added Tax ("VAT") against three of the Company's wholly-owned Swedish subsidiaries. The first claim was asserted against Bikupa Datacenter AB ("Bikupa") and Bikupa Datacenter 2 AB ("Bikupa 2").  The second claim pertains to Bikupa Real Estate AB. The STA, in connection with  earlier VAT claims, has obtained Administrative Court decisions against each of Bikupa and Bikupa 2 assessing VAT amounts that have been accruing since December of 2020. These decisions are subject to appeals which Bikupa 1 and Bikupa 2 have initiated. If the decisions are upheld, the VAT exposure could exceed $80.1 million. While the potential size of the exposure is material, the Company and its tax advisors and tax counsel in Sweden do not believe the STA's claims have merit. The Company intends to pursue the appeals vigorously; however, there is no assurance that the Company will achieve a favorable outcome in its appeal. As of the date hereof, no date for the hearing of the appeals has been set, and the Company cannot predict how long the appeals process may last. See the Interim MD&A under "BUSINESS OVERVIEW - Industry subject to evolving regulatory and tax landscape".

The second claim relates to VAT assessments that arose in connection with Bikupa Real Estate AB and the 2023 purchase of the Little Boden facility (formerly referred to as "Boden 2"). The Company has disputed the STA's claim; however, the STA has obtained a decision from the Administrative Court upholding the claim and is reviewing the Company's filings and the claims made in connection with the purchase of the Little Boden facility. The Company is in the process of appealing this decision. It is not yet known what the scope of the review being conducted by the STA is or when it will be completed (if at all). The Company's external tax advisors do not believe that this VAT assessment represents a material liability for the Company


Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer & Emerging Growth Company

Foreign Private Issuer

Historically, we have been considered a "foreign private issuer" (as defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) reporting under the U.S.-Canada multijurisdictional disclosure system (the "MJDS"). Consequently, while the Company is required to file or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents required under Canadian securities law, the Company does not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC.  For example, the Company is exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, as well as Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. Further, the Company's officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and "short swing" profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

An issuer will lose its foreign private issuer status if more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and any one of the following is true: (i) a majority of its directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of  its assets are located in the United States or (iii) its business is administered principally in the United States. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually, as of the last business day of the issuer's most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

As of September 30, 2025, we did not meet the requirements for eligibility as a foreign private issuer. Accordingly, beginning with our next fiscal year, we will be required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including the filing of annual, periodic and current reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, respectively. We will also be required to make changes in our corporate governance practices in accordance with various SEC and Nasdaq rules. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws may be significantly higher as a domestic reporting company.  As a result, our legal and financial compliance costs will increase and may be more time consuming. Further, we will be required to update this registration statement to comply with the form requirements applicable to a domestic issuer, to the extent that we are required or otherwise elect to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement at that time.

Emerging Growth Company

We are currently an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other publicly traded entities, including being exempt from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We will remain an emerging growth company until the first to occur of (i) March 31, 2027, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (iii) the last day of the fiscal in which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer," as defined in the Exchange Act, which means the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of the second financial quarter of such financial year; or, if it occurs before any of the foregoing dates, the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt over a three-year period. 

As of September 30, 2025, the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million. As a result, commencing as of our next fiscal year, we will be a large accelerated filer, we will no longer qualify as an "emerging growth company" and we will no longer be able to avail ourselves of these reduced reporting requirements


USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless we otherwise indicate in a prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities for general corporate and working capital requirements, including but not limited to, the funding of ongoing operations and/or working capital requirements, the equipping of our Paraguayan facilities, repayment of indebtedness outstanding from time to time, future acquisitions, including procuring cryptocurrency mining equipment and acquiring or expanding facilities to operate the servers and computer equipment, or other corporate purposes as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the securities.

Our core business includes sourcing clean energy to sell computational power for Bitcoin mining. We regularly review opportunities, which may include opportunities to procure sites that have been partially constructed with additional capacity that may be developed as an expansion project, for which funding for the construction cost would be required.

More detailed information regarding the use of proceeds from the sale of securities, including any determinable milestones at the applicable time, will be described in a prospectus supplement. We may also, from time to time, issue securities otherwise than pursuant to a prospectus supplement to this prospectus. All expenses relating to an offering of securities and any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, will be paid out of  the proceeds from the sale of such securities, unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS

There have been no material changes to the Company’s consolidated capitalization and indebtedness since September 30, 2025 that have not been disclosed in this Prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe any material changes and the effect of such material changes on the share and loan capitalization of the Company that will result from the issuance of Securities (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to each prospectus supplement.

PRIOR SALES

Information in respect of the Company's Common Shares that we issued within the immediately preceding twelve-month period, including Common Shares that we issued upon the exercise of stock options of the Company ("Options") and the Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding restricted share units of the Company ("RSUs") and warrants, will be provided as required in each prospectus supplement to this prospectus.

EARNINGS COVERAGE

If the Company offers debt securities having a term to maturity in excess of one year under this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, the applicable prospectus supplement will include earnings coverage ratios giving effect to the issuance of such securities.

The holders of the Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, all meetings of shareholders (other than meetings at which only holders of another class or series of shares are entitled to vote).

Each Common Share carries the right to one vote. Subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the preferred shares of the Company, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, or upon any distribution of the assets of the Company among shareholders being made (other than by way of dividend out of monies properly applicable to the payment of dividends) the holders of the Common Shares are entitled to share equally.

Subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the preferred shares of the Company, the holders of the Common Shares are entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Company in respect of the Common Shares.

Any alteration of the rights attached to our Common Shares must be approved by at least two-thirds of the Common Shares voted at a meeting of our shareholders.

Preferred Shares

Preferred shares of the Company do not give the holders any right to receive notice of or vote at general or special meetings of the Company. As of the date of this Prospectus, no preferred shares were issued and outstanding.

Incorporation

We are incorporated under the BCBCA. Our British Columbia incorporation number is BC0329058.

Objects and Purposes of Our Company


Our articles do not contain a description of our objects and purposes.

Voting on Certain Proposal, Arrangement, Contract or Compensation by Directors

Our articles do not restrict directors' power to (a) vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which the directors are materially interested or (b) to vote compensation to themselves or any other members of their body in the absence of an independent quorum. Any such conflicts of interest will be subject to the procedures and remedies as provided under the BCBCA.

Borrowing Powers of Directors

Our articles provide that we, if authorized by our directors, may from time to time on behalf of our company: (i) borrow money in the manner and amount, on the security, from the sources and on the terms and conditions that they consider appropriate; (ii) issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations either outright or as security for any liability or obligation of our company or any other person and at any discount or premium and on such other terms as they consider appropriate; (iii) guarantee the repayment of money by any other person or the performance of any obligation of any other person; and (iv) mortgage or charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, or give other security on the whole or any part of the present and future assets and undertaking of our company.

Qualifications of Directors

Under our articles, there is no mandatory retirement age for our directors and our directors are not required to own securities of our company in order to serve as directors.

Meetings

Each director holds office until our next annual general meeting, or until his or her office is earlier vacated in accordance with our articles or with the provisions of the BCBCA. A director appointed or elected to fill a vacancy on our board also holds office until our next annual general meeting.

Our articles provide that our annual meetings of shareholders must be held at such time in each calendar year and not more than 15 months after the last annual general meeting and at such place as our board of directors may from time to time determine. Our directors may, at any time, call a meeting of our shareholders.

Under our articles, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is two (2) shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy. However, if there is only one shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, (a) the quorum is one person who is, or who represents by proxy, that shareholder, and (b) that shareholder, present in person or by proxy, may constitute the meeting.

Our articles state that in addition to those persons who are entitled to vote at a meeting of our shareholders, the only other persons entitled to be present at the meeting are the directors, the president (if any), the secretary (if any), the assistant secretary (if any), any lawyer for our company, the auditor of our company, any persons invited to be present at the meeting by our directors or by the chair of the meeting and any person entitled or required under the  BCBCA or our articles to be present at the meeting.

Limitations on Ownership of Securities

Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote our common shares under the laws of Canada or British Columbia, or in our charter documents.

Change in Control

There are no provisions in our articles or in the BCBCA that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving our company or our subsidiaries.


Ownership Threshold

Our articles or the BCBCA do not contain any provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. Securities legislation in Canada, however, requires that we disclose in our information circular for our annual general meeting, holders who beneficially own more than 10% of our issued and outstanding shares. This threshold is higher than the 5% threshold under U.S. securities legislation at which stockholders must report their share ownership.


Comparison of Shareholder Rights

We are a corporation governed by the BCBCA. The following discussion summarizes material differences between the rights of holders of our common shares and the rights of holders of the common share of a typical corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, which result from differences in governing documents and the laws of British Columbia and Delaware. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), the BCBCA, and our articles.

Approval of Business Combinations; Fundamental Changes  
   
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), certain fundamental changes such as amendments to the certificate of incorporation, a merger, consolidation, sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation not in the usual and regular course of the corporation's business, or a dissolution of the corporation, are generally required to be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on the matter, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a higher percentage.

Under Delaware corporate law (the DGCL), a merger generally does not need stockholder approval if the company issues less than 20% new stock as part of the deal. In some circumstances, a certain number of holders of specific classes of or series of shares may be required to approve the transaction.

Also, under Section 251(h) of the DGCL, stockholder approval of a constituent corporation is not required if:         
  • The merger agreement specifically says it will use Section 251(h) and will close right after a tender or exchange offer;

  • The acquiring company completes a tender or exchange offer to buy all the shares that would otherwise vote on the merger;

  • After that offer, the buyer owns enough shares (through purchases and previously owned stock) to meet the voting threshold that would have been required to approve the merger;

  • The buyer then merges directly with the target company; and

  • The remaining shares are converted into the same kind of payment or consideration that was offered in the tender or exchange offer.

The DGCL does not contain a procedure comparable to a plan of arrangement under BCBCA.
Under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (the "BCBCA"), certain changes to our authorized share structure and the change of our name may be approved by a resolution of the directors of our company. Under the BCBCA, certain extraordinary company alterations, such as to continuances, into or out of province, certain amalgamations, sales, leases or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the undertaking of a company (other than in the ordinary course of business), liquidations, dissolutions, and certain arrangements are required to be approved by ordinary or special resolution as applicable.

An ordinary resolution is a resolution (i) passed at a shareholders' meeting by a simple majority, or (ii) passed, after being submitted to all of the shareholders, by being consented to in writing by shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold shares carrying at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the resolution.

A special resolution is a resolution (i) passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution at a meeting duly called and held for that purpose or (ii) passed by being consented to in writing by all shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution.

Holders common shares vote together at all meetings of shareholders except meetings at which only holders of a particular class are entitled to vote.

Under the BCBCA, an action that prejudices or interferes with a right or special right attached to issued shares of a class or series of shares must be approved by a special separate resolution of the holders of the class or series of shares being affected.



 
  Subject to applicable securities laws, which may impose certain "Issuer bid" or tender offer requirements, under the BCBCA, arrangements with shareholders, creditors and other persons are permitted and a company may make any proposal it considers appropriate "despite any other provision" of the BCBCA. In general, a plan of arrangement is approved by a company's board of directors and then submitted to a court for approval. It is customary and, at times, required, for a company in such circumstances to apply to a court initially for an interim order governing various procedural matters prior to calling any security holder meeting to consider the proposed arrangement. Plans of arrangement involving shareholders must be approved by a special resolution of shareholders, including holders of shares not normally entitled to vote. The court may, in respect of an arrangement proposed with persons other than shareholders and creditors, require that those persons approve the arrangement in the manner and to the extent required by the court. The court determines, among other things, to whom notice shall be given and whether, and in what manner, approval of any person is to be obtained and also determines whether any shareholders may dissent from the proposed arrangement and receive payment of the fair value of their shares. Following compliance with the procedural steps contemplated in any such interim order (including as to obtaining security holder approval), the court would conduct a final hearing, which would, among other things, assess the fairness of the arrangement and approve or reject the proposed arrangement. 

The BCBCA does not contain a provision comparable to Section 251(h) of the DGCL.
   
Special Vote Required for Combinations with Interested Stockholders  
   
Delaware British Columbia
   
Section 203 of the DGCL provides (in general) that a corporation may not engage in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder. The prohibition on business combinations with interested stockholders does not apply in some cases, including if: (i) the board of directors of the corporation, prior to the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, approves (a) the business combination or (b) the transaction in which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced; or (iii) the board of directors and the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder approve the business combination on or after the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder.

For the purpose of Section 203, the DGCL, subject to specified exceptions, generally defines an interested stockholder to include any person who, together with that person's affiliates or associates, (i) owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (including any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights, and stock with respect to which the person has voting rights only), or (ii) is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and owned 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the previous three years.
The BCBCA does not contain a provision comparable to Section 203 of the DGCL with respect to business combinations.


Appraisal Rights; Rights to Dissent
 
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a corporation participating in some types of major corporate transactions may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which the stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would otherwise receive in the transaction.

For example, a stockholder is entitled to appraisal rights in the case of a merger or consolidation if the shareholder is required to accept in exchange for the shares anything other than: (i) shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from the merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof; (ii) shares of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, that on the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 shareholders; (iii) cash instead of fractional shares of the corporation or fractional depository receipts of the corporation; or (iv) any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash instead of the fractional shares or fractional depository receipts.
The BCBCA provides that shareholders of a company are entitled to exercise dissent rights in respect of certain matters and to be paid the fair value of their shares in connection therewith. The dissent right is applicable where the company resolves to (i) alter its articles to alter the restrictions on the powers of the company or on the business it is permitted to carry on; (ii) approve certain amalgamations; (iii) approve an arrangement, where the terms of the arrangement or court orders relating thereto permit dissent; (iv) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its undertaking; or (v) continue the company into another jurisdiction.

Dissent may also be permitted if authorized by resolution. A court may also make an order permitting a shareholder to dissent in certain circumstances.
   
Compulsory Acquisition   
   
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, mergers in which one corporation owns 90% or more of each class of stock of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation's board of directors or shareholders. The BCBCA provides that if, within 4 months after the making of an offer to acquire shares, or any class of shares, of a company, the offer is accepted by the holders of not less than 90% of the shares (other than the shares held by the offeror or an affiliate of the offeror) of any class of shares to which the offer relates, the offeror is entitled, upon giving proper notice within 5 months after the date of the offer, to acquire (on the same terms on which the offeror acquired shares from those holders of shares who accepted the offer) the shares held by those holders of shares of that class who did not accept the offer. Offerees may apply to the court, within 2 months of receiving notice, and the court may set a different price or terms of payment and may make any consequential orders or directions as it considers appropriate.


Stockholder Consent to Action Without Meeting
 
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action that can be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if written consent to the action is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting of the stockholders.  Shareholders not participating in such written consent must be given notice of the action taken by written consent. Although it is not customary for public companies to do so, under the BCBCA, shareholder action without a meeting may be taken by a consent resolution of shareholders provided that it satisfies the thresholds for approval in a company's articles, the BCBCA and the regulations thereunder. A consent resolution is as valid and effective as if it was a resolution passed at a meeting of shareholders.
   
Special Meeting of Stockholders  
   
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, a special meeting of shareholders may be called by the board of directors or by such persons authorized in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws. Under the BCBCA, the holders of not less than 5% of the issued shares of a company that carry the right to vote at a general meeting may requisition that the directors call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of transacting any business that may be transacted at a general meeting. Upon receiving a requisition that complies with the technical requirements set out in the BCBCA, the directors must, subject to certain limited exceptions, call a meeting of shareholders to be held not more than 4 months after receiving the requisition. If the directors do not call such a meeting within 21 days after receiving the requisition, the requisitioning shareholders or any of them holding in aggregate not less than 2.5% of the issued shares of the company that carry the right to vote at general meetings may call the meeting.
   
Distributions and Dividends; Repurchases and Redemptions  
   
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, subject to any restrictions contained in the certificate of incorporation, a corporation may pay dividends out of capital surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the current and/or the preceding fiscal year in which the dividend is declared, as long as the amount of capital of the corporation following the declaration and payment of the dividend is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by issued and outstanding shares having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Surplus is defined in the DGCL as the excess of the net assets over capital, as such capital may be adjusted by the board.
 
A Delaware corporation may purchase or redeem shares of any class except when its capital is impaired or would be impaired by the purchase or redemption. A corporation may, however, purchase or redeem out of capital shares that are entitled upon any distribution of its assets to a preference over another class or series of its shares if the shares are to be retired and the capital reduced.
Under the BCBCA, a company may pay a dividend in money or other property unless there are reasonable grounds for believing that the company is insolvent, or the payment of the dividend would render the company insolvent.
 
The BCBCA provides that no special rights or restrictions attached to a series of any class of shares confer on the series a priority in respect of dividends or return of capital over any other series of shares of the same class.
 
Under the BCBCA, the purchase or other acquisition by a company of its shares is generally subject to solvency tests similar to those applicable to the payment of dividends (as set out above). 
Under the BCBCA, subject to solvency tests similar to those applicable to the payment of dividends (as set out above), a company may redeem, on the terms and in the manner provided in its articles, any of its shares that has a right of redemption attached to it.


Board Vacancies
 
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, a vacancy or a newly created directorship may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. Any newly elected director usually holds office for the remainder of the full term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of the class of directors to which the newly elected director has been elected expires. Under the BCBCA, a vacancy among the directors created by the removal of a director may be filled by the shareholders at the meeting at which the director is removed or, if not filled by the shareholders at such meeting, by the shareholders or by the remaining directors. In the case of a casual vacancy, the remaining directors may fill the vacancy. Under the BCBCA, directors may increase the size of the board of directors by one third of the number of current directors.

Under the BCBCA and our articles, if as a result of one or more vacancies, the number of directors in office falls below the number required for a quorum, the remaining directors may appoint as directors the number of individuals that, when added to the number of remaining directors, will constitute a quorum and/or call a shareholders' meeting to fill any or all vacancies among directors and to conduct such other business that may be dealt with at that meeting, but must not take any other action until a quorum is obtained.
   
The DGCL does not have residency requirements, but a corporation may prescribe qualifications for directors under its certificate of incorporation or bylaws. The BCBCA does not place any residency restrictions on the boards of directors.
   
Removal of Directors  
   
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, except in the case of a corporation with a classified board or with cumulative voting, any director or the entire board may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. The Company’s articles allow for the removal of a director by special resolution of the shareholders.
 
 
   
Inspection of Books and Records  
   
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, any holder of record of stock or a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may inspect the corporation's books and records for a proper purpose. Under the BCBCA, directors and shareholders may, without charge, inspect certain of the records of a company. Former shareholders, to the extent permitted under our articles, and former directors may also inspect certain of the records, free of charge, but only those records pertaining to the times that they were shareholders or directors.
 
Public companies must allow all persons to inspect certain records of the company free of charge.


Amendment of Governing Documents
 
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, a certificate of incorporation may be amended if: (i) the board of directors adopts a resolution setting forth the proposed amendment, declares the advisability of the amendment and directs that it be submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders; provided that unless required by the certificate of incorporation, no meeting or vote is required to adopt an amendment for certain specified changes; and (ii) the holders of a majority of shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter approve the amendment, unless the certificate of incorporation requires the vote of a greater number of shares.
 
If a class vote on the amendment is required by the DGCL, a majority of the outstanding stock of the class is required, unless a greater proportion is specified in the certificate of incorporation or by other provisions of the DGCL.
 
Under the DGCL, the board of directors may amend a corporation's bylaws if so authorized in the certificate of incorporation. The shareholders of a Delaware corporation also have the power to amend bylaws.
Under the BCBCA, a company may amend its articles or notice of articles by (i) the type of resolution specified in the BCBCA, (ii) if the BCBCA does not specify a type of resolution, then by the type specified in the company's articles, or (iii) if the company's articles do not specify a type of resolution, then by special resolution. The BCBCA permits many substantive changes to a company's articles (such as a change in the company's authorized share structure or a change in the special rights or restrictions that may be attached to a certain class or series of shares) to be changed by the resolution specified in that company's articles.
 
If a right or special right attached to a class or series of shares would be prejudiced or interfered with by an alteration to our share structure approved by the board, the BCBCA requires that holders of such class or series of shares must approve the alteration by a special separate resolution of those shareholders.
 


Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, subject to specified limitations in the case of derivative suits brought by a corporation's stockholders in its name, a corporation may indemnify any person who is made a party to any action, suit or proceeding on account of being a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, provided that there is a determination that: (i) the individual acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (ii) in a criminal action or proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
Without court approval, however, no indemnification may be made in respect of any derivative action in which an individual is adjudged liable to the corporation, except to the extent the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.

The DGCL requires indemnification of directors and officers for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably relating to a successful defense on the merits or otherwise of a derivative or third-party action.

Under the DGCL, a corporation may advance expenses relating to the defense of any proceeding to directors and officers upon the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the individual to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified.
Under the BCBCA, a company may indemnify: (i) a current or former director or officer of that company; or (ii) a current or former director or officer of another corporation if, at the time such individual held such office, the corporation was an affiliate of the company, or if such individual held such office at the company's request, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any legal proceeding or investigative action (whether current, threatened, pending or completed) in which he or she is involved because of that person's position as an indemnifiable person, unless: (i) the individual did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of such company or the other entity, as the case may be; or (ii) in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, the individual did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the individual's conduct was lawful. A company cannot indemnify an indemnifiable person if it is prohibited from doing so under its articles. In addition, a company must not indemnify an indemnifiable person in proceedings brought against the indemnifiable person by or on behalf of the company or an associated company. A company may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an indemnifiable person in respect of that proceeding only if the indemnifiable person has provided an undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses was prohibited, the indemnifiable person will repay any amounts advanced. Subject to the aforementioned prohibitions on indemnification, a company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an indemnifiable person in respect of such eligible proceeding if such indemnifiable person has not been reimbursed for such expenses, and was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of such eligible proceeding or was substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of such eligible proceeding. On application from us or from an indemnifiable person, a court may make any order the court considers appropriate in respect of an eligible proceeding, including the indemnification of penalties imposed or expenses incurred in any such proceedings and the enforcement of an indemnification agreement.
   
Limited Liability of Directors  
   
Delaware British Columbia
   
The DGCL permits the adoption of a provision in a corporation's certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its shareholders by reason of a director's breach of the fiduciary duty of care. The DGCL does not permit any limitation of the liability of a director for: (i) breaching the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith; (iii) engaging in intentional misconduct or a known violation of law; (iv) obtaining an improper personal benefit from the corporation; or (v) paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase that was illegal under applicable law. Under the BCBCA, a director or officer of a company must (i) act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company; (ii) exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent individual would exercise in comparable circumstances; (iii) act in accordance with the BCBCA and the regulations thereunder; and (iv) subject to (i) to (iii), act in accordance with the articles of the company. These statutory duties are in addition to duties under common law and equity.
 



  No provision in a contract or the articles of a company may relieve a director or officer of a company from the above duties.
 
Under the BCBCA, a director is not liable for certain acts if the director has otherwise complied with his or her duties and relied, in good faith, on (i) financial statements of the company represented to the director by an officer of the company or in a written report of the auditor of the company to fairly reflect the financial position of the company, (ii) a written report of a lawyer, accountant, engineer, appraiser or other person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by that person, (iii) a statement of fact represented to the director by an officer of the company to be correct, or (iv) any record, information or representation that the court considers provides reasonable grounds for the actions of the director, whether or not that record was forged, fraudulently made or inaccurate or that information or representation was fraudulently made or inaccurate. Further, a director is not liable if the director did not know and could not reasonably have known that the act done by the director or authorized by the resolution voted for or consented to by the director was contrary to the BCBCA.
   
Stockholder Lawsuits  
   
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, a stockholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the corporation to enforce the rights of the corporation; provided, however, that under Delaware case law, the plaintiff generally must be a stockholder not only at the time of the transaction which the subject of the suit, but through the duration of the derivative suit. Delaware law also requires that the derivative plaintiff make a demand on the directors of the corporation to assert the corporate claim before the suit may be prosecuted by the derivative plaintiff, unless such demand would be futile. An individual also may commence a class action suit on behalf of himself or herself and other similarly situated stockholders where the requirements for maintaining a class action have been met. Under the BCBCA, a shareholder (including a beneficial shareholder) or director of a company and any person who, in the discretion of the court, is an appropriate person to make an application to court to prosecute or defend an action on behalf of a company (a derivative action) may, with judicial leave: (i) bring an action in the name and on behalf of the company to enforce a right, duty or obligation owed to the company that could be enforced by the company itself or to obtain damages for any breach of such right, duty or obligation or (ii) defend, in the name and on behalf of the company, a legal proceeding brought against the company.

Under the BCBCA, the court may grant leave if: (i) the complainant has made reasonable efforts to cause the directors of the company to prosecute or defend the action; (ii) notice of the application for leave has been given to the company and any other person that the court may order; (iii) the complainant is acting in good faith; and (iv) it appears to the court to be in the interests of the company for the action to be prosecuted or defended.

Under the BCBCA, upon the final disposition of a derivative action, the court may make any order it determines to be appropriate. In addition, under the BCBCA, a court may order a company to pay the complainant's interim costs, including legal fees and disbursements. However, the complainant may be held accountable for the costs on final disposition of the action.


Oppression Remedy
 
Delaware British Columbia
   
Although the DGCL imposes upon directors and officers fiduciary duties of loyalty (i.e., a duty to act in a manner believed to be in the best interest of the corporation and its stockholders) and care, there is no remedy under the DGCL that is comparable to the BCBCA's oppression remedy. The BCBCA's oppression remedy enables a court to make an order (interim or final) to rectify the matters complained of if the court is satisfied upon application by a shareholder (as defined below) that the affairs of the company are being conducted or that the powers of the directors are being or have been exercised in a manner that is oppressive, or that some action of the company or shareholders has been or is threatened to be taken which is unfairly prejudicial, in each case to one or more shareholders. The application must be brought in a timely manner. A "shareholder" for the purposes of the oppression remedy includes legal and beneficial owners of shares as well as any other person whom the court considers appropriate.
 
The oppression remedy provides the court with extremely broad and flexible jurisdiction to intervene in corporate affairs to protect shareholders.
   
Blank Check Preferred Stock/Shares  
   
Delaware British Columbia
   
Under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of a corporation may give the board the right to issue new classes of preferred shares with voting, conversion, dividend distribution, and other rights to be determined by the board at the time of issuance, which could prevent a takeover attempt and thereby preclude shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares.

In addition, the DGCL does not prohibit a corporation from adopting a shareholder rights plan, or "poison pill," which could prevent a takeover attempt and also preclude shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares.
Under the BCBCA, once a class of preferred shares has been created, the board of directors may be authorized, without shareholder approval, but subject to the provisions of the articles and BCBCA, to determine the maximum number of shares of each series, create an identifying name for each series and attach such special rights or restrictions, including dividend, liquidation and voting rights, as our board of directors may determine, and such special rights or restrictions, including dividend, liquidation and voting rights, may be superior to those of the common shares. Under the BCBCA, each share of a series of shares must have the same special rights or restrictions as are attached to every other share of that series of shares. In addition, the special rights or restrictions attached to shares of a series of shares must be consistent with the special rights or restrictions attached to the class of shares of which the series of shares is part.

The BCBCA does not prohibit a corporation from adopting a shareholder rights plan, or "poison pill," which could prevent a takeover attempt and also preclude shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares.


Advance Notification Requirements for Proposals of Stockholders
 
Delaware British Columbia
   
Delaware corporations typically have provisions in their bylaws that require a stockholder proposing a nominee for election to the board of directors or other proposals at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders to provide notice of any such proposals to the secretary of the corporation in advance of the meeting for any such proposal to be brought before the meeting of the stockholders. In addition, advance notice bylaws frequently require the stockholder nominating a person for election to the board of directors to provide information about the nominee, such as his or her age, address, employment and beneficial ownership of shares of the corporation's capital stock. The stockholder may also be required to disclose, among other things, his or her name, share ownership and agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to such nomination.
 
For other proposals, the proposing stockholder is often required by the bylaws to provide a description of the proposal and any other information relating to such stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf that proposal is being made, required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitation of proxies for the proposal and pursuant to and in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Under the BCBCA, qualified shareholders holding at least one percent (1%) of our issued voting shares or whose shares have a fair market value in excess of CAD$2,000 in the aggregate may make proposals for matters to be considered at the annual general meeting of shareholders. Such proposals must be sent to us in advance of any proposed meeting by delivering a timely written notice in proper form to our registered office in accordance with the requirements of the BCBCA. The notice must include information on the business the shareholder intends to bring before the meeting in the prescribed form. To be a qualified shareholder, a shareholder must currently be and have been a registered or beneficial owner of at least one share of the company for at least two years before the date of signing the proposal.
 
If the proposal and a written statement in support of the proposal (if any) are submitted at least three months before the anniversary date of the previous annual meeting and the proposal and written statement (if any) meet other specified requirements, then the company must either set out the proposal, including the names and mailing addresses of the submitting person and supporters and the written statement (if any), in the proxy circular of the company or attach the proposal and written statement thereto.
 
In certain circumstances, the company may refuse to process a proposal.
 
We have included Advance Notice Provisions (as defined in the "Description of Share Capital" section above) in our articles. Under the Advance Notice Provisions, a shareholder wishing to nominate a director would be required to provide us notice, in the prescribed form, within the prescribed time periods.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

In this section describing the debt securities, the terms "Company" and "HIVE" refer only to HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. without any of its subsidiaries.

The debt securities may be issued in one or more indentures (each a "Trust Indenture") to be entered into between the Company and one or more trustees (the "Trustee") that may be named in a prospectus supplement filed in respect to such debt securities. To the extent applicable, the Trust Indenture will be subject to and governed by the United States Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Debt securities may be offered separately or in combination with one or more other securities of the Company. The Company may, from time to time, issue debt securities and incur additional indebtedness other than through the issue of debt securities pursuant to this prospectus. Convertible debt securities offered under this prospectus may only be convertible into other securities of the Company.

The following description of the terms of debt securities sets forth certain general terms and provisions of debt securities in respect of which a prospectus supplement may be filed. The particular terms and provisions of debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply thereto, will be described in the prospectus supplement filed in respect of such debt securities.

  • the periods within which and the terms and conditions, if any, upon which the Company may redeem the debt securities prior to maturity and the price or prices of which, and the currency or currency units in which, the debt securities are payable;

  • any events of default or covenants applicable to the debt securities;

The Company reserves the right to include in a prospectus supplement specific terms pertaining to the debt securities which are not within the options and parameters set forth in this prospectus. In addition, to the extent that any particular terms of the debt securities described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described in this prospectus, the description of such terms set forth in this prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by the description of such differing terms set forth in such prospectus supplement with respect to such debt securities.

Unless stated otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, no holder of debt securities will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the debt securities and there will be no increase in the interest rate if the Company becomes involved in a highly leveraged transaction or has a change of control.

The Company may issue debt securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate below the prevailing market rate at the time of issuance, and offer and sell these securities at a discount below their stated principal amount. The Company may also sell any of the debt securities for a foreign currency or currency unit, and payments on the debt securities may be payable in a foreign currency or currency unit. In any of these cases, the Company will describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences, U.S. federal income tax consequences and other special considerations in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Company may issue debt securities with terms different from those of debt securities previously issued and, without the consent of the holders thereof, reopen a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of such series.

Ranking and Other Indebtedness

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be direct unsecured obligations of the Company. The debt securities will be senior or subordinated indebtedness of the Company as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If the debt securities are senior indebtedness, they will rank equally and rateably with all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding which is not subordinated. If the debt securities are subordinated indebtedness, they will be subordinated to senior indebtedness of the Company as described in the applicable prospectus supplement, and they will rank equally and rateably with other subordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The Company reserves the right to specify in a prospectus supplement whether a particular series of subordinated debt securities is subordinated to any other series of subordinated debt securities.

The board may establish the extent and manner, if any, to which payment on or in respect of a series of debt securities will be senior or will be subordinated to the prior payment of the Company's other liabilities and obligations and whether the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be guaranteed and the nature and priority of any security.


Registration of Debt Securities

Debt Securities in Book Entry Form

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable prospectus supplement, debt securities of any series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities ("Global Security" or "Global Securities") registered in the name of a designated clearing agency (a "Depositary") or its nominee and held by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with the terms of the applicable Trust Indenture. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a series of debt securities to be represented by a Global Security will, to the extent not described herein, be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such series. The Company anticipates that the provisions described in this section will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depositary or its nominee will credit, in its book-entry and registration system, the respective principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the Global Security to the accounts of such participants that have accounts with the Depositary or its nominee ("Participants"). Such accounts are typically designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents participating in the distribution of the debt securities or by the Company if such debt securities are offered and sold directly by the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to Participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through Participants. With respect to the interests of Participants, ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee. With respect to the interests of persons other than Participants, ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through records maintained by Participants or persons that hold through Participants.

So long as the Depositary for a Global Security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of such Global Security, such Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the applicable Trust Indenture and payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities represented by a Global Security will be made by the Company to the Depositary or its nominee. The Company expects that the Depositary or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, will credit Participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Security as shown on the records of such Depositary or its nominee. The Company also expects that payments by Participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security held through such Participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such Participants.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by the Depositary to direct Participants, by direct Participants to indirect Participants and by direct and indirect Participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial owners of debt securities may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the debt securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults and proposed amendments to the Trust Indenture.

Owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have the debt securities represented by such Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such debt securities in certificated non-book-entry form, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the applicable Trust Indenture, and the ability of a holder to pledge a debt security or otherwise take action with respect to such holder's interest in a debt security (other than through a Participant) may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate.


No Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee of such Depositary unless: (i) the Depositary is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depositary and the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor; (ii) the Company at its option elects, or is required by law, to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or the book-entry system ceases to exist; or (iii) if provided for in the Trust Indenture, after the occurrence of an event of default thereunder (provided the Trustee has not waived the event of default in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture), Participants acting on behalf of beneficial holders representing, in aggregate, a threshold percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities then outstanding advise the Depositary in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depositary is no longer in their best interest.

If one of the foregoing events occurs, such Global Security shall be exchanged for certificated non-book-entry debt securities of the same series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security and registered in such names and denominations as the Depositary may direct.

The Company, any underwriters, dealers or agents and any Trustee identified in an accompanying prospectus supplement, as applicable, will not have any liability or responsibility for (i) records maintained by the Depositary relating to beneficial ownership interests in the debt securities held by the Depositary or the book-entry accounts maintained by the Depositary, (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to any such beneficial ownership interests, or (iii) any advice or representation made by or with respect to the Depositary and contained in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement or Trust Indenture with respect to the rules and regulations of the Depositary or at the direction of Participants.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or its successor will act as Depositary for any debt securities represented by a Global Security.

Debt Securities in Certificated Form

A series of the debt securities may be issued in definitive form, solely as registered securities, solely as unregistered securities or as both registered securities and unregistered securities. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, unregistered securities will have interest coupons attached.

In the event that the debt securities are issued in certificated non-book-entry form, and unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities (other than a Global Security) will be made at the office or agency of the Trustee or, at the option of the Company, by the Company by way of cheque mailed or delivered to the address of the person entitled at the address appearing in the security register of the Trustee or electronic funds wire or other transmission to an account of the person entitled to receive such payments. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of interest, if any, will be made to the persons in whose name the debt securities are registered at the close of business on the day or days specified by the Company.

At the option of the holder of debt securities, registered securities of any series will be exchangeable for other registered securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. If, but only if, provided in an applicable prospectus supplement, unregistered securities (with all unmatured coupons, except as provided below, and all matured coupons in default) of any series may be exchanged for registered securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. In such event, unregistered securities surrendered in a permitted exchange for registered securities between a regular record date or a special record date and the relevant date for payment of interest shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such date for payment of interest, and interest will not be payable on such date for payment of interest in respect of the registered security issued in exchange for such unregistered security, but will be payable only to the holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, unregistered securities will not be issued in exchange for registered securities.

The applicable prospectus supplement may indicate the places to register a transfer of the debt securities in definitive form. Except for certain restrictions to be set forth in the Trust Indenture, no service charge will be payable by the holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of the debt securities in definitive form, but the Company may, in certain instances, require a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection with these transactions.


DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

General

This section describes the general terms that will apply to any warrants for the purchase of Common Shares, or equity warrants, or for the purchase of debt securities, or debt warrants.

We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities, and warrants sold with other securities may be attached to or separate from the other securities. Warrants will be issued under one or more warrant agency agreements to be entered into by us and one or more banks or trust companies acting as warrant agent.

The Company will deliver an undertaking to the securities regulatory authority in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, that it will not distribute warrants that, according to their terms as described in the applicable prospectus supplement, are "novel" specified derivatives within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, separately to any member of the public in Canada, unless such prospectus supplement containing the specific terms of the warrants to be distributed separately is first approved by or on behalf of the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada where the warrants will be distributed.

This summary of some of the provisions of the warrants is not complete. The statements made in this prospectus relating to any warrant agreement and warrants to be issued under this prospectus are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable warrant agreement. You should refer to the warrant indenture or warrant agency agreement relating to the specific warrants being offered for the complete terms of the warrants. A copy of any warrant indenture or warrant agency agreement relating to an offering or warrants will be filed by the Company with the securities regulatory authorities in the applicable Canadian offering jurisdictions after we have entered into it, and will be available electronically in Canada at www.sedarplus.ca or in the United States through EDGAR at the website of the SEC at www.SEC.gov.

The applicable prospectus supplement relating to any warrants that we offer will describe the particular terms of those warrants and include specific terms relating to the offering.

Original purchasers of warrants (if offered separately) will have a contractual right of rescission against us in respect of the exercise of such warrant. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, upon surrender of the underlying securities acquired upon exercise of the warrant, the total of the amount paid on original purchase of the warrant and the amount paid upon exercise, in the event that this prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the warrant under the applicable prospectus supplement; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of purchase of the warrant under the applicable prospectus supplement. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

In an offering of warrants, or other convertible securities, original purchasers are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the prospectus is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the warrants, or other convertible securities, are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces or territories. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for the particulars of these rights, or consult with a legal advisor.

  • the designation and aggregate number of debt warrants;

  • the price at which the debt warrants will be offered;

  • the currency or currencies in which the debt warrants will be offered;

  • the designation and terms of any securities with which the debt warrants are being offered, if any, and the number of the debt warrants that will be offered with each security;

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

HIVE may issue units, which may consist of one or more of Common Shares, warrants or any other security specified in the relevant prospectus supplement. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each of the securities included in the unit. In addition, the relevant prospectus supplement relating to an offering of units will describe all material terms of any units offered, including, as applicable:

DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS

We may issue subscription receipts separately or in combination with one or more other securities, which will entitle holders thereof to receive, upon satisfaction of certain release conditions (the "Release Conditions") and for no additional consideration, Common Shares, warrants, debt securities or any combination thereof. Subscription receipts will be issued pursuant to one or more subscription receipt agreements (each, a "Subscription Receipt Agreement"), the material terms of which will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, each to be entered into between the Company and an escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") that will be named in the relevant prospectus supplement. Each Escrow Agent will be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada or a province thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee. If underwriters, dealers, or agents are used in the sale of any subscription receipts, one or more of such underwriters or agents may also be a party to the Subscription Receipt Agreement governing the subscription receipts sold to or through such underwriter or agent.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of subscription receipts that may be issued hereunder and is not intended to be complete. The statements made in this prospectus relating to any Subscription Receipt Agreement and subscription receipts to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable Subscription Receipt Agreement. Prospective investors should refer to the Subscription Receipt Agreement relating to the specific subscription receipts being offered for the complete terms of the subscription receipts. We will file a copy of any Subscription Receipt Agreement relating to an offering of subscription receipts with the applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada after it has been entered into it.

  • whether we will apply to list the subscription receipts on any exchange;

Rights of Holders of Subscription Receipts Prior to Satisfaction of Release Conditions

The holders of subscription receipts will not be, and will not have the rights of, Shareholders. Holders of subscription receipts are entitled only to receive Common Shares, warrants and/or debt securities on exchange of their subscription receipts, plus any cash payments, if any, all as provided for under the Subscription Receipt Agreement and only once the Release Conditions have been satisfied. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied, holders of subscription receipts shall be entitled to a refund of all or a portion of the subscription price therefor and their pro rata share of interest earned or income generated thereon, if provided for in the Subscription Receipt Agreement, all as provided in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Escrow

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will provide that the Escrowed Funds will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, and such Escrowed Funds will be released to the Company (and, if the subscription receipts are sold to or through underwriters or agents, a portion of the Escrowed Funds may be released to such underwriters or agents in payment of all or a portion of their fees in connection with the sale of the subscription receipts) at the time and under the terms specified by the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Modifications

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will specify the terms upon which modifications and alterations to the subscription receipts issued thereunder may be made by way of a resolution of holders of subscription receipts at a meeting of such holders or consent in writing from such holders. The number of holders of subscription receipts required to pass such a resolution or execute such a written consent will be specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will also specify that we may amend any Subscription Receipt Agreement and the subscription receipts without the consent of the holders of the subscription receipts to cure any ambiguity, to cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision or in any other manner that will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of outstanding subscription receipts or as otherwise specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.


DESCRIPTION OF SHARE PURCHASE CONTRACTS

We may issue share purchase contracts, representing contracts obligating holders to purchase from or sell to us a specified number of Common Shares, as applicable, at a future date or dates.

The price per Common Share and the number of Common Shares, as applicable, may be fixed at the time the share purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula or method set forth in the share purchase contracts. We may issue share purchase contracts in accordance with applicable laws and in such amounts and in as many distinct series as we may determine.

The share purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of units consisting of a share purchase contract and beneficial interests in debt securities, or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. treasury securities or obligations of the subsidiaries, securing the holders' obligations to purchase the Common Shares under the share purchase contracts, which we refer to in this prospectus as share purchase units. The share purchase contracts may require the Company to make periodic payments to the holders of the share purchase units or vice versa, and these payments may be unsecured or refunded and may be paid on a current or on a deferred basis. The share purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations under those contracts in a specified manner.

Holders of share purchase contracts are not shareholders of HIVE. The particular terms and provisions of share purchase contracts offered by any prospectus supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to them, will be described in the prospectus supplement filed in respect of such share purchase contracts. This description will include, where applicable: (i) whether the share purchase contracts obligate the holder to purchase or sell, or both purchase and sell, Common Shares, as applicable, and the nature and amount of those securities, or the method of determining those amounts; (ii) any conditions upon which the purchase or sale will be contingent and the consequences if such conditions are not satisfied; (iii) whether the share purchase contracts are to be settled by delivery, or by reference or linkage to the value or performance of Common Shares; (iv) any acceleration, cancellation, termination or other provisions relating to the settlement of the share purchase contracts; (v) the date or dates on which the sale or purchase must be made, if any; (vi) whether the share purchase contracts will be issued in fully registered or global form; (vii) the material Canadian federal income tax consequences of owning, holding and disposing of the share purchase contracts;  (viii) the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning, holding and disposing of the share purchase contracts; and (ix) any other material terms and conditions of the share purchase contracts including, without limitation, transferability and adjustment terms and whether the share purchase contracts will be listed on a stock exchange.

The Company will deliver an undertaking to the securities regulatory authority in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, that it will not distribute share purchase contracts that, according to their terms as described in the applicable prospectus supplement, are "novel" specified derivatives within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, separately to any member of the public in Canada, unless such prospectus supplement containing the specific terms of the share purchase contracts to be distributed separately is first approved by or on behalf of the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada where the share purchase contracts will be distributed.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

Information about selling securityholders, where applicable, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement, in a post-effective amendment or in filings we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company and/or selling securityholders  may sell the securities offered by this prospectus (collectively, the “Securities”), separately or together, to or through underwriters, dealers or agents purchasing as principals for public offering and sale by them and also may sell Securities to one or more other purchasers directly or through agents. Each prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters or agents, the purchase price or prices of the Securities (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis, including sales in transactions that are deemed an “at-the-market offering” as defined under Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act), and the proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Securities.


The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with the offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable prospectus supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial public offering price fixed in such prospectus supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Company.

The sale of Common Shares may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at non-fixed prices pursuant to transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in NI 44-102 and a "at-the-market offering" as defined under Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the TSXV, Nasdaq, or other existing trading markets for the Common Shares. Sales of Common Shares under any "at-the-market distribution" or "at-the-market offering" if any, will be made pursuant to an accompanying prospectus supplement. The volume and timing of any "at-the-market distributions" or "at-the-market offerings" will be determined at the Company's sole discretion.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any commissions received by them from the Company and any profit on the resale of the Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the U.S. Securities Act.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Company to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company in the ordinary course of business.

Unless otherwise specified in the relevant prospectus supplement, in connection with any offering of Securities, other than an "at-the-market distribution", the underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may over-allot or effect transactions intended to maintain or stabilize the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. No underwriter involved in an "at-the-market distribution", no affiliate of such an underwriter and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter may over-allot Common Shares in connection with the distribution or may effect any other transactions that are intended stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares in connection with an "at-the-market distribution" including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the securities.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor who is a non-resident of Canada or to an investor who is a resident of Canada of acquiring, owning and disposing of any of the Company's securities offered thereunder.

The applicable prospectus supplement may also describe certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any of the Securities offered thereunder by an initial investor who is a U.S. person (within the meaning of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), including, to the extent applicable, such consequences relating to debt securities payable in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, issued at an original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or containing early redemption provisions or other special items.

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of the securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of Canada. Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, several of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such persons or to enforce against them or against us, judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, investors should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us, our officers or directors, or other said persons, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States; or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such directors, officers or experts predicated upon the United States federal securities laws or any securities or other laws of any state or jurisdiction of the United States.

In addition, there is doubt as to the applicability of the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities law to original actions instituted in Canada. It may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Canada.
