LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / June 9, 2022 / Argo Blockchain plc, (“Argo” or “the Company”), a global leader in cryptocurrency mining (LSE:ARB)(NASDAQ:ARBK), announces the allotment of 8,147,831 new Ordinary Shares in connection with the Company’s acquisition of DPN LLC.

In March 2021, the Company acquired DPN LLC along with the land held by DPN LLC for Helios, its flagship Bitcoin mining facility in Dickens County, Texas. The merger agreement with DPN LLC and the DPN LLC members (the “Agreement”) contains certain milestones which trigger deferred consideration to be satisfied by the allotment of further ordinary shares of £0.001 each in the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) to the DPN LLC members. Certain of the milestones have now been met and the Company is obliged to issue 8,147,831 new Ordinary Shares to the members of DPN LLC, credited as fully paid at a price per share of £0.4950. No further Ordinary Shares are owed to the DPN LLC members under the terms of the Agreement as the remaining milestones have not been met.
