Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On August 5, 2020, CleanSpark, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), filed a verified complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against an existing institutional investor (“Investor”). The case was subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

 

Among other things, the Complaint seeks declaratory relief against Investor in response to Investor’s claim that a Form 8-K filed by the Company in relation to a July 20, 2020 Securities Purchase Agreement needed pre-approval by Investor prior to filing and injunctive relief in response to conversion notices sent by Investor claiming triggering events and defaults arising out of the failure to obtain the Form 8-K pre-approval.

 

Although the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined with certainty, the Company believes that claims raised by Investor which necessitated the filing of the Complaint are without merit and the Company intends to defend itself vigorously against such claims.

 

It is possible that actions related to this dispute with Investor may yet be filed in the same or other courts. The Company does not intend to file further Current Reports on Form 8-K describing the additional lawsuits, or provide updates, except as required by law.
