Sphere 3D and Cathedra Bitcoin Announce Closing of Business CombinationJune 1, 2026 7:00 AM
NewsfileCombination creates a scaled data infrastructure platform with 53megawatts of operating capacity and a 100mw+ expansion pipeline; Combined company retains Sphere 3D's name and US listing (ANY)Toronto, Ontario and Stamford, Connecticut--(Newsfile Corp. - June 1, 2026) - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) ("Sphere") and Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. (TSXV: CBIT) (OTCQB: CBTTF) ("Cathedra" and together with Sphere, the "Parties") today announced that they have completed the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Transaction") pursuant to which Sphere acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cathedra under the arrangement agreement entered into on March 5, 2026 (the "Agreement"), and Cathedra is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sphere (Sphere, together with Cathedra and their subsidiaries following completion of the Transaction, the "Combined Company"). The Transaction was completed by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Transaction was approved at a special meeting of the securityholders of Cathedra and at a meeting of the shareholders of Sphere, and by the Supreme Court of British Columbia."Closing this combination marks a significant milestone for both companies and our shareholders," said Joel Block, Chief Executive Officer of the Combined Company. "We have integrated Cathedra's energy-centric infrastructure platform with Sphere's public-market presence and robust balance sheet to build a larger, more diversified enterprise with a clear growth trajectory. Together, we offer 53 MW of operational capacity, a pipeline exceeding 100 MW of potential expansion, and a NASDAQ-listed platform designed for scalability. We believe the Combined Company is strategically positioned to generate long-term value by seizing opportunities in high-performance computing and digital asset infrastructure."Strategic Rationale and Competitive AdvantagesThe Transaction is expected to deliver greater scale and an expanded US operating footprint, with the Combined Company owning and operating a portfolio of 53 megawatts ("MW") of power capacity across five data centers in Iowa, Kentucky, and Tennessee. This larger platform is also intended to lay a foundation for potential expansion into high-performance compute. With growing demand for compute-intensive workloads, the Combined Company intends to evaluate select opportunities in adjacent high-performance compute and AI infrastructure, leveraging existing power relationships and site capabilities to maximize returns on its power capacity. The expanded operating scale is expected to improve profitability by spreading fixed overhead costs over a larger revenue and asset base. The combination also diversifies the Combined Company's revenue streams across proprietary mining and hosting services. By integrating Sphere's updated mining machine fleet with Cathedra's data center operations and experience, the Combined Company gains exposure to mining economics while maintaining downside protection through fixed-margin hosting contracts with third parties. These strengths are paired with strong growth prospects supported by a scalable development model and access to capital: Cathedra's low-cost development model and infrastructure-first approach, coupled with Sphere's capital markets expertise, position the Combined Company to capitalize on a robust pipeline of over 100 MW of potential expansion opportunities and to further grow its portfolio of infrastructure assets.Over time, the Combined Company intends to maximize returns on power capacity by assessing the highest-value applications for its energy resources, including digital asset mining, AI model training, and other compute-intensive workloads that require reliable, cost-effective power at scale.The Combined Company's bitcoin mining operations and balance sheet include managed power capacity of 53 MW at five data centers across three U.S. states, comprising both data centers owned by the Combined Company and those leased from and/or operated by third parties, as well as 1.2 EH/s of installed proprietary mining hash rate across data centers owned by the Combined Company and third-party hosting providers.Board and ManagementUnderpinning these advantages is an experienced leadership team with a clear strategic vision and a deep expertise in digital asset mining, digital infrastructure, energy optimization, and capital markets. Joel Block has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Combined Company and joins the board of directors, bringing extensive experience in both private and public capital markets and in operating within the digital infrastructure and bitcoin mining arena. Kurt Kalbfleisch, previously Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sphere, has maintained his role of Chief Financial Officer and joins the board of directors, contributing over two decades of executive leadership experience at multiple NASDAQ-listed companies. Tiah Reppas will continue her role as Chief Accounting Officer of the Combined Company, bringing over two decades of public accounting experience. Thomas Masiero will be Head of Strategy of the Combined Company, bringing significant experience in the development of power capacity and infrastructure.The board of directors comprises Tim Hanley, who serves as Chair, together with Marcus Dent, Kurt Kalbfleisch, Nicholas Gates, and Joel Block. Mr. Hanley, Mr. Dent, and Mr. Gates serve as independent directors, focused on robust governance, diverse strategic perspectives, and disciplined execution. Mr. Hanley is a seasoned global executive with significant audit committee and boardroom experience. He spent 17 years at Deloitte, where he led the firm's Global Consumer and Industrial Products practice and grew it to more than $14 billion in annual revenue, and he later served as Acting Keyes Dean of the College of Business at Marquette University. Marcus Dent, founder of TFTC.io and Managing Partner at Ten31, is a media personality and recognized thought leader in the digital assets industry. He previously served as Director of Business Development at Great American Mining, an early innovator in off-grid bitcoin mining using flared natural gas, and has served as a director of Cathedra since 2021. Nicholas Gates is Managing Director, Integrated Projects at Priority Power Management, an Arlington, Texas-based leader in energy management, procurement, and infrastructure development. He brings deep expertise in energy strategy, power procurement, and the development of large-scale power infrastructure.Additional Transaction DetailsAs a result of the Transaction, Cathedra security holders received common shares of Sphere (the "Sphere Common Shares") and/or securities exercisable or convertible into Sphere Common Shares.

Sphere 3D and Cathedra Advance Proposed Combination to Establish Power-Optimized Digital Infrastructure PlatformMay 7, 2026 8:45 AM
ACCESS NewswireSTAMFORD, CT AND TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY) ("Sphere 3D") and Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. ("Cathedra") today provided an update regarding their previously announced proposed business combination (the "Transaction"), which remains expected to close in the near term, pending the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and required approvals.The proposed combination is intended to create a scaled digital infrastructure platform anchored in a central market reality: as demand for compute capacity continues to expand, access to scalable, efficiently managed power is becoming increasingly valuable. Management believes the combined company will be better positioned to capitalize on this dynamic through a modular, capital disciplined infrastructure model optimized for speed, flexibility, and disciplined deployment.Upon closing, the combined company is expected to initially operate 53 megawatts (MW) of managed power capacity across five data centers in Iowa, Kentucky, and Tennessee, providing a scaled, multi-site operating footprint with embedded optionality for expansion and workload diversification.The strategic rationale for the transaction is straightforward. Demand for compute-intensive infrastructure is rising across artificial intelligence, data processing, and other high-density workloads, while traditional infrastructure development remains constrained by long build cycles, high capital intensity, and limited flexibility once deployed. Against this backdrop, the combined company is expected to operate with a more adaptable architecture, including modular and containerized infrastructure that can be deployed and redeployed in response to power availability, market economics, and customer demand.Management believes this architecture creates meaningful strategic advantages. The combined company is expected to benefit from improved infrastructure utilization, more efficient power optimization, and faster deployment timelines relative to traditional fixed site development models. These characteristics are increasingly relevant in an environment where energy availability, deployment speed, and capital efficiency are becoming central determinants of infrastructure value.The proposed combination is also expected to expand Sphere 3D's ability to support a wider range of compute applications over time. In addition to legacy operations, the platform is being positioned to pursue higher value opportunities across high performance compute, AI infrastructure, and other advanced digital infrastructure workloads, leveraging existing power relationships and site capabilities to maximize asset productivity and drive long term returns on invested capital.Importantly, the combined company is expected to enter this next phase with tangible forward visibility. Cathedra recently announced a new hosting agreement expected to utilize approximately 80% of the 15 MW capacity at its Shire site in Kentucky, representing roughly 25% of Cathedra's current hosting capacity, and establishing what management views as a stable, long term revenue stream. This development adds a meaningful layer of operating visibility as the transaction progresses toward closing.Following closing, the combined company expects to focus on integration execution, asset optimization, power strategy refinement, and disciplined evaluation of workload opportunities to enhance asset productivity and improve revenue quality over time. The objective is not simply greater scale, but to establish a stronger strategic position within an infrastructure market increasingly defined by constrained power, rising compute intensity, and demand for more flexible deployment models."Digital infrastructure is increasingly being defined by access to power, deployment agility, and capital discipline," said Kurt Kalbfleisch, CEO. "We believe the proposed combination positions the company to compete more effectively in this environment by bringing together operating scale, infrastructure development expertise, and a flexible deployment model capable of supporting a broader range of high density compute opportunities over time."Additional information regarding the expected closing date and other material developments related to the proposed transaction will be provided as appropriate.About Sphere 3D Corp.Sphere 3D Corp.
