Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 30, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), CleanSpark, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“CleanSpark”), completed the previously announced acquisition of GRIID Infrastructure Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 26, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CleanSpark, Tron Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CleanSpark (“Merger Sub”), and the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CleanSpark (the “Merger”).

The Merger and the Merger Agreement were previously described in CleanSpark’s registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-281313), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 6, 2024, as amended on September 10, 2024 and declared effective on September 23, 2024, and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus of the Company, dated as of and filed with the SEC on September 23, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”).

Merger Consideration

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“GRIID Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including each share underlying a GRIID restricted stock unit award or option to purchase shares of GRIID Common Stock pursuant to the terms described below, was canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive from CleanSpark 0.069593885 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a fully paid and nonassessable share of CleanSpark’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “CleanSpark Common Stock”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time:

•

each Company restricted stock unit award that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time immediately vested with respect to 100% of the shares of GRIID Common Stock subject to such Company restricted stock unit award, which shares of GRIID Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the merger consideration with respect to each share of GRIID Common Stock. Further, each outstanding vested compensatory option to purchase a share of GRIID Common Stock was canceled and converted into the right to receive approximately 0.01 of a share of CleanSpark Common Stock, which is the number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration Value (as defined below) over the per share exercise price of the applicable option, multiplied by (B) the number of shares of GRIID Common Stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) $16.587, which represents the volume-weighted average price of CleanSpark Common Stock for the two consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Merger Agreement. Any Company options that had an exercise price per share of GRIID Common Stock that was equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration Value were canceled for no consideration; and

•

each outstanding and unexercised warrant (each, a “GRIID Warrant”) to purchase shares of GRIID Common Stock of the Company was converted into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of CleanSpark Common Stock (each, a “CleanSpark Warrant”), rounded down to the nearest whole share, that is equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of GRIID Common Stock subject to such GRIID Warrant as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per share of CleanSpark Common Stock underlying such converted CleanSpark Warrant is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price applicable to such warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Each such CleanSpark Warrant is on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such GRIID Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for such terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Merger or as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement or in the applicable warrant agreement with respect to such GRIID Warrant and subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by CleanSpark and the Company to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the Merger.

The term “Merger Consideration Value” means the product of (x) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by (y) $16.587.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions (including, without limitation, the Merger) does not purport to be complete and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 2, 2024, as amended by the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with SEC on August 26, 2024, and incorporated herein by reference, and to the information contained in the Proxy Statement.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company notified the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of its intent to remove the GRIID Common Stock and GRIID Warrants that were publicly listed (the “GRIID Public Warrants”) from listing on Nasdaq and requested that Nasdaq (i) suspend trading of the GRIID Common Stock and GRIID Public Warrants on Nasdaq prior to the opening of trading on October 31, 2024 and (ii) file a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 with the SEC to delist and deregister the GRIID Common Stock and GRIID Public Warrants under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

In addition, the Company intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the SEC suspending the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to the GRIID Common Stock and GRIID Public Warrants.

The information set forth in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 3.01 by reference.

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

At the Effective Time, holders of shares of GRIID Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time ceased to have any rights as common stockholders of the Company (other than the right to receive the merger consideration or as provided by law).

The information set forth in Items 2.01, 3.01, 5.01 and 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 3.03 by reference.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On October 28, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) for the purpose of considering and voting upon the following proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement: (i) to adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Proposal”) and (ii) to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

There were 70,898,615 shares of GRIID Common Stock issued and outstanding as of September 20, 2024, the record date for the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, the holders of 60,348,384 shares of GRIID Common Stock were present or represented by proxy, representing approximately 85% of the total outstanding shares of GRIID Common Stock as of the record date, September 20, 2024, which constituted a quorum to conduct business at the Special Meeting.

At the Special Meeting, the Merger Proposal was approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the GRIID Common Stock entitled to vote thereon. The Merger Proposal was also approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of GRIID Common Stock not held by either Griid Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or James D. Kelly III. The Adjournment Proposal was not voted upon at the Special Meeting since there were sufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal.

The following are the final voting results on the proposal considered and voted upon at the Special Meeting, which is more fully described in the Proxy Statement:

Section 2.5

Business at Special Meetings. The business transacted at a special meeting shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

Waiver; Objections. A stockholder may waive notice of a meeting of stockholders. A waiver of notice by a stockholder entitled to notice is effective whether given before, at, or after the meeting, and

whether given in writing, orally, or by attendance. Attendance by a stockholder at a meeting is a waiver of notice of that meeting, except where the stockholder objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or objects before a vote on an item of business because the item may not lawfully be considered at that meeting and does not participate in the consideration of the item at that meeting.

Section 2.8

At least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, the officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting during ordinary business hours for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting.

Record Date. The board of directors may fix a date not more than 60 days before the date of a meeting of stockholders as the date for the determination of the holders of voting shares entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting. When a date is so fixed, only stockholders on that date are entitled to notice and permitted to vote at that meeting of stockholders.

Section 2.10

Certification of Beneficial Owner. A resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present may establish a procedure whereby a stockholder may certify in writing to the corporation that all or a portion of the shares registered in the name of the stockholder are held for the account of one or more beneficial owners. Upon receipt by the corporation of the writing, the persons specified as beneficial owners, rather than the actual stockholder, are deemed the stockholders for the purposes specified in the writing.

Section 2.11

Quorum. The holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting present in person or by proxy at the meeting are a quorum for the transaction of business, unless a larger or smaller proportion or number is provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. If a quorum is present when a duly called or held meeting is convened, the stockholders present may continue to transact business until adjournment, even though the withdrawal of a number of stockholders originally present leaves less than the proportion or number otherwise required for a quorum.

Section 2.12

Adjourned Meetings. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting may be adjourned from time to time. If any meeting of the stockholders is adjourned to another time or place, no notice of the date, time, and place of such adjourned meeting need be given other than by announcement at the time of adjournment.

Section 2.13

Majority Vote Required. The stockholders shall take action by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present, except where a larger proportion or number is required by the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the laws of the state of Delaware.

Voting Power. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or in the terms of the shares, a stockholder has one vote for each share held.

Section 2.16

Registered Stockholders. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9 or the laws of the state of Delaware, the corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

Section 2.17

Stockholder Management. The holders of the voting shares of the corporation may, by unanimous affirmative vote, take any action that the board of directors is required or permitted to take or that the stockholders are permitted to take after action or approval of the board of directors.

Section 2.18

Proxies. A stockholder may cast or authorize the casting of a vote by filing a written appointment of a proxy with an officer of the corporation at or before the meeting at which the appointment is to be effective. An appointment of a proxy for shares held jointly by two or more stockholders is valid if signed by any one of them, unless the corporation receives from any one of those stockholders written notice either denying the authority of that person to appoint a proxy or appointing a different proxy.

Section 2.19

Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of stockholders may, except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of record of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the corporation having the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and the writing or writings are filed with the permanent records of the corporation. Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not invalidate such corporate action otherwise validly taken by the stockholders.

Article III

DIRECTORS

Section 3.1

Number and Election. The board of directors shall consist of not less than one director; the board of directors may by resolution fix a greater number, subject to change by vote of the stockholders. The board may appoint persons to serve in additional director seats subject to re-election by the stockholders. The number of directors may be modified by the stockholders who shall, at each regular meeting, fix the number of directors and elect the number so fixed. Except as provided in Section 3.2, each director shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until his or her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Directors shall be natural persons but need not be stockholders.

Section 3.2

Vacancies and New Directorships. Unless different rules for filling vacancies are provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies on the board of directors resulting from the death, disqualification, resignation, or removal of a director may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even though less than a quorum, and vacancies on the board of directors resulting from newly created directorships may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors serving at the time of the increase. Each director elected to fill a vacancy holds office until a qualified successor is elected by the stockholders at the next regular meeting or special meeting of the stockholders.

Section 3.3

Powers. Except as otherwise provided by a stockholder agreement or Section 2.17, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a board of directors, which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the laws of the state of Delaware directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

Section 3.4

Time and Place of Meetings. Meetings of the board of directors may be held from time to time at any place, within or without the state of Delaware, that the board of directors may select or by any means described in Section 3.5. If the board of directors fails to select a place for a meeting, the meeting shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation, except in the case of the first meeting of each newly elected board of directors which shall be held as provided in Section 3.6.

Section 3.5

Electronic Meetings. A conference among directors by any means of communication through which the directors may simultaneously hear each other during the conference constitutes a board meeting, if the same notice is given of the conference as would be required by Section 3.6 for a meeting, and if the number of directors participating in the conference would be sufficient to constitute a quorum at a meeting. Participation in a meeting by that means constitutes presence in person at the meeting. A director may participate in a board meeting

not described above by any means of communication through which the director, other directors so participating, and all directors physically present at the meeting may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. Participation in a meeting by that means constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

Section 3.6

Meetings. Meetings of the board of directors may be called by a director or by the chief executive officer of the corporation on ten days’ notice to all directors, of the date, time and place of the meeting. The notice need not state the purpose of the meeting. If the date, time, and place of a board meeting have been announced at a previous meeting of the board of directors, no notice is required.

Section 3.7

Quorum. A majority, or a larger or smaller proportion or number provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, of the directors currently holding office present at a meeting is a quorum for the transaction of business.

Section 3.8

Adjourned Meetings. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting may be adjourned from time to time. If any meeting of the board of directors is adjourned to another time or place, no notice of such adjourned meeting need be given other than by announcement at the time of adjournment.

Section 3.9

Board of Directors Action. The board of directors shall take action by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors present at a duly held meeting, except where the affirmative vote of a larger proportion or number is required by the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the laws of the state of Delaware. If the Certificate of Incorporation requires a larger proportion or number than is required by the laws of the state of Delaware for a particular action, the Certificate of Incorporation shall control.

Section 3.10

Waiver of Notice. A director may waive notice of a meeting of the board of directors. A waiver of notice by a director entitled to notice is effective whether given before, at, or after the meeting, and whether given in writing, orally, or by attendance. Attendance by a director at a meeting is a waiver of notice of that meeting, except where the director objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and does not participate thereafter in the meeting.

Section 3.11

Absent Directors. A director may give advance written consent or opposition to a proposal to be acted on at a board meeting. If the director is not present at the meeting, consent or opposition to a proposal does not constitute presence for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but consent or opposition shall be counted as a vote in favor of or against the proposal and shall be entered in the minutes or other record of action at the meeting, if the proposal acted on at the meeting is substantially the same or has substantially the same effect as the proposal to which the director has consented or objected.

Section 3.12

Committees. A resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire board of directors may establish committees having the authority of the board of directors in the management of the business of the corporation to the extent provided in the resolution. Committee members shall be natural persons. Unless the Certificate of Incorporation provides for a different membership, a committee shall consist of one or more persons, who need not be directors, appointed by affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present. A majority of the members of the committee present at a meeting is a quorum for the transaction of business, unless a larger or smaller proportion or number is provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or in a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present. Minutes, if any, of committee meetings shall be made available upon request to members of the committee and to any director.

Section 3.13

Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors may be taken without a meeting if all of the members of the board of directors consent thereto in writing, or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board of directors.

Section 3.14

Fees and Expenses. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid such compensation for their services as a director as the board of directors may fix from time to time. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any

other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Committee members shall also be paid their expenses, if any, and be compensated as the board of directors may determine for attending committee meetings.

Election of Required Officers. The officers of the corporation shall be elected by the board of directors and shall consist in all events of a chief executive officer and chief financial officer, however designated.
