SUMMARY OF THE PROSPECTUS

This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire prospectus, the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and the documents incorporated by reference herein carefully, including the information presented under the sections titled “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and our financial statements before making an investment decision. The definition of some of the terms used in this prospectus are set forth under the section titled “About this Prospectus.” For additional information, see the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information.” Each item in this summary refers to the page of this prospectus on which that subject is discussed in more detail.

The Company

We are a world-leading technology company for blockchain and high-performance computing. We are committed to providing comprehensive computing solutions for our customers. We handle complex processes involved in computing, such as equipment procurement, transport logistics, datacenter design and construction, equipment management, and daily operations. We also offer advanced cloud capabilities to customers with high demand for artificial intelligence. Headquartered in Singapore, we currently operate six mining datacenters in the United States, Norway and Bhutan with an aggregate electrical capacity of 895MW as of May 31, 2024. From these mining datacenters, we generate hash rate under management which is categorized into proprietary and hosting hash rate. As of May 31, 2024, our proprietary hash rate reached 8.4 EH/s. Together with the 14.0 EH/s hosting hash rate generated from mining machines hosted in our mining datacenters, we possessed a total of 22.4 EH/s of hash rate under management as of May 31, 2024.

To date, we primarily operate three business lines – “self-mining,” “hash rate sharing” and “hosting.” Self-mining (formerly known as “proprietary mining”) refers to cryptocurrency mining for our own account, which allows us to directly capture the high appreciation potential of cryptocurrency. We offer two types of hash rate sharing solutions, Cloud Hash Rate and Hash Rate Marketplace. Through Cloud Hash Rate, we sell our proprietary hash rate to customers. We offer hash rate subscription plans at fixed price and share mining income with them under certain arrangements. Through Hash Rate Marketplace, we connect reliable third-party hash rate suppliers with hash rate users to facilitate hash rate sales and generate revenue from charging service fees. Our hosting services offer customers one-stop mining machine hosting solutions encompassing deployment, maintenance and management services for efficient cryptocurrency mining. Among a wide selection of hosting services, customers can either subscribe to our Cloud Hosting service for the specified mining machines from which they derive computing power under a “group-buying” model, or send their mining machines to our mining datacenters for hosting under the General Hosting option or the Membership Hosting option. All of our three business lines are supported by Minerplus, our self-developed integrated intelligent software platform, which offers software support to significantly reduce time needed for daily maintenance and mining machine upgrade and substantially decrease operation and maintenance headcount.

We source mining machines from a wide variety of manufacturers and traders with whom we have built robust relationships over the years. As a result, the majority of our mining machines are spot machines for the most recent and most commonly used models procured at a favorable price, which ensures high energy efficiency and stable hash rate supply both in quality and in quantum. We also engage in the sales of mining machines from time to time. We stay at the forefront of technology development. As a market player who is able to obtain a hash rate unit of 1TH/s through our hash rate slicing technology, we have been successfully maintaining a less than 1% fluctuation for 99% of our hash rate sales contracts as of December 31, 2023.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with those standards. The JOBS Act also exempts us from having to provide an auditor attestation of internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing date of our Business Combination, or April 13, 2023, (b) in which we have an

TABLE OF CONTENTS

annual total gross revenue of at least US$1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such fiscal year; and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than US$1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Foreign Private Issuer

As a “foreign private issuer,” we will be subject to different U.S. securities laws than domestic U.S. issuers. The rules governing the information that we must disclose differ from those governing U.S. companies pursuant to the Exchange Act. We will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements to shareholders. Those proxy statements are not expected to conform to Schedule 14A of the proxy rules promulgated under the Exchange Act.

In addition, as a “foreign private issuer,” our officers and directors and holders of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act requiring insiders to report purchases and sales of ordinary shares as well as from Section 16 short swing profit reporting and liability. See the section titled “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Securities—We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to domestic public companies in the United States” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, incorporated herein by reference.

Controlled Company

Mr. Jihan Wu currently controls a majority of the voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq listing rules. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company.” For so long as we remain a “controlled company,” we may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:

•	that a majority of the board of directors consists of independent directors;

•	for an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees;

•	that we have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and

•	that we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibility.

We intend to use these exemptions and may continue to use all or some of these exemptions in the future. As a result, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Corporate Information

We were created as “Bitdeer Technologies Holding Company” in January 2021 to separate the Cloud Hash Rate business, the self-mining business and the business of providing dynamic hosting solutions (collectively, the “Bitdeer Business”) and the mining pool business (the “BTC.com Pool Business”), following a corporate reorganization of BitMain Technologies Holding Company. In February 2021, we established Blockchain Alliance Technologies Holding Company (“Blockchain Alliance”) to separate the BTC.com Pool Business following a corporate reorganization of our group. The separation was consummated in April 2021, when we distributed by way of dividend in kind the shares of Blockchain Alliance to the then existing shareholders of our group.

In April 2023, the Business Combination was completed, upon which “Bitdeer Technologies Group,” an exempted company under the laws of Cayman Islands, became the ultimate corporate parent of our group, and the Class A Ordinary Shares were listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “BTDR.”

Our registered office is Ogier Global (Cayman) Limited, 89 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, KY1-9009, and our principal executive office is 08 Kallang Avenue, Aperia tower 1, #09-03/04, Singapore 339509. Our principal website address is https://www.bitdeer.com. We do not incorporate the information contained on, or accessible through, our websites into this prospectus, and you should not consider it a part of this prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and the other documents that are filed after the date hereof that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being offered. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Summary of Risk Factors

Our business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making a decision to invest in our securities. These risks include, among others, the following:

•	Future sales, or the possibility of future sales of, a substantial number of our Class A Ordinary Shares may depress the price of such securities.

•	The market price of Class A Ordinary Shares may be volatile, and you may lose some or all of your investment.

•

The cryptocurrency industry in which we operate is characterized by constant changes. If we fail to continuously innovate and to provide solutions or services that meet the expectations of our customers, we may not be able to attract new customers or retain existing customers, and hence our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

•	Our results of operations have been and are expected to continue to be significantly impacted by Bitcoin price fluctuation.

•	The supply of Bitcoins available for mining is limited and we may not be able to quickly adapt to new businesses when all the Bitcoins have been mined.

•	Although we have an organic way of growing our mining fleets, our business is nevertheless capital intensive. We may need additional capital but may not be able to obtain it in a timely manner and on favorable terms or at all.

•	We may not be able to maintain our competitive position as cryptocurrency networks experience increases in the total network hash rate.

•	We have experienced negative cash flows from operating activities and incurred net losses in the past. We can provide no assurance of our future operating results.

•	Our limited operating history and rapid revenue growth may make it difficult for us to forecast our business and assess the seasonality and volatility in our business.

•	We have experienced and may experience in the future hash rate loss during our operations due to factors beyond our control.

•	We are subject to risks associated with our need for significant electric power and the limited availability of power resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•	Because there has been limited precedent set for financial accounting for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the determinations that we have made for how to account for cryptocurrencies transactions may be subject to change.

•	Any loss or destruction of a private key required to access our cryptocurrency is irreversible. We also may temporarily lose access to our cryptocurrencies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Bitcoin exchanges and wallets, and to a lesser extent, the Bitcoin network itself, may suffer from hacking and fraud risks, which may adversely erode user confidence in Bitcoin which would decrease the demand for our products and services. Further, digital asset exchanges on which crypto assets trade are relatively new and largely unregulated, and thus may be exposed to fraud and failure. Incorrect or fraudulent cryptocurrency transactions may be irreversible.

•	We are subject to a highly-evolving regulatory landscape and any adverse changes to, or our failure to comply with, any laws and regulations could adversely affect our business, reputation, prospects or operations.

•	The nature of our business requires the application of complex financial accounting rules, and there is limited guidance from accounting standard setting bodies. If financial accounting standards undergo significant changes, our operating results could be adversely affected.

•	We are subject to tax risks related to our multinational operations.

•	Our interactions with a blockchain may expose us to specially designated nationals (“SDN”) or blocked persons or cause us to violate provisions of law that did not contemplate distribute ledger technology.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We may declare dividends on the Ordinary Shares from time to time. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as our board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

The distribution of dividends may also be limited by the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, which permits the distribution of dividends only out of either profit or the credit standing in our share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in us being unable to pay our debts as they fall due in our ordinary course of business immediately following the date on which the distribution or dividend is proposed to be paid. Under our articles of association, dividend distributions may be determined by our board of directors, without the need for shareholder approval. See the sections titled “Description of Securities” and “Taxation” for additional information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The Class A Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq and are registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Setting forth below is a description of the rights of the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class V Ordinary Shares.

Description of Ordinary Shares

Ordinary Shares

General. Our Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form and are issued when registered in our register of shareholders. We may not issue shares to bearer. Our shareholders who are nonresidents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their Ordinary Shares. Our Ordinary Shares are divided into Class A Ordinary Shares and Class V Ordinary Shares. Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class V Ordinary Shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. See “––Voting Rights” below for additional information. Class V Ordinary Shares shall only be held by (i) Mr. Jihan Wu (the “Founder”), (ii) all limited partnerships, private companies or other vehicles of which more than 50% beneficial ownership or voting power are held directly or indirectly by the Founder, and (iii) a trust controlled by the Founder for the benefit of the Founder or his family, and all limited partnership, private companies or other vehicles wholly owned by such trust, including without limitation, Victory Courage Limited (collectively, “Founder Entities”).

Conversion. Each Class V Ordinary Share shall automatically convert into one Class A Ordinary Share (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and similar transactions) on any transfer by a Founder Entity to a person or entity that is not a Founder Entity of any beneficial ownership of, or economic interest in, such Class V Ordinary Share or the control over the voting rights attached to such Class V Ordinary Share (through any contracts, voting proxies or otherwise); provided, however, that on the grant by a Founder Entity of any lien, charge, mortgage or other encumbrance (a “Security Interest”) over the Class V Ordinary Shares held by it, unless and until the legal ownership of such shares is transferred pursuant to such Security Interest (including any enforcement or foreclosure in connection therewith).

Each Class V Ordinary Share is convertible into one Class A Ordinary Share (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and similar transactions) at any time at the option of the holder thereof. Each Class V Ordinary Share held by a Founder Entity shall automatically convert into one Class A Ordinary Share (as adjusted for share splits, share combinations and similar transactions) upon the death or incapacity of the Founder.

Dividends. The holders of our Ordinary Share are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. In addition, our shareholders may declare dividends by ordinary resolution, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by our directors. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that the directors may, before recommending or declaring any dividend, set aside out of the funds legally available for distribution such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, in the absolute discretion of the directors, be applicable for meeting contingencies or for equalizing dividends or for any other purpose to which those funds may be properly applied. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company may pay a dividend out of either profit or the credit standing in the Company’s share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the Company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business immediately following the date on which the distribution or dividend is proposed to be paid.

Voting Rights. Holders of our Ordinary Share have the right to receive notice of, attend and vote at general meetings of our Company. Holders of our Class A Ordinary Share and Class V Ordinary Share shall, at all times, vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote by our shareholders at any general meeting of the Company. Each Class A Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote and each Class V Ordinary Share shall be entitled to ten (10) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company. Voting at any shareholders’ meeting is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands). A poll may be demanded by the chairman of such meeting or any one or more shareholders who together hold not less than 10% of the votes attaching to the total Ordinary Share which are present in person or by proxy at the meeting.

An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the Ordinary Shares which are cast by those of our shareholders who are entitled to do so attend and vote at the meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes of Ordinary Shares which cast by those of our shareholders who are entitled to do so attend and vote at the meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Holders of the Ordinary Share may, among other things, divide or combine their shares by ordinary resolution.

General Meetings of Shareholders. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Companies Act”), to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that we may (but are not obliged to) in each year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting in which case we shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our directors.

Shareholders’ general meetings may be convened by the chairman of our board of directors or a majority of our board of directors. Advance notice of at least ten calendar days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting (if any) and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for any general meeting of shareholders consists of one or more shareholder present or by proxy, who alone or together hold not less than 50% of all votes attaching to all of our shares in issue and entitled to vote at such general meeting.

The Cayman Companies Act does not provide shareholders with an express right to put forth any proposal before an annual meeting of the shareholders. However, the Cayman Companies Act may provide shareholders with limited rights to requisition a general meeting, but such rights must be stipulated in the articles of association of our company.

Transfer of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the restrictions set out below, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our board of directors.

Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share unless:

•	the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the Ordinary Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

•	the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;

•	the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

•	in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Ordinary Share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

•	a fee of such maximum sum as Nasdaq may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof.

If our directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within three calendar months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required of Nasdaq, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our board of directors may from time to time determine, provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 calendar days in any calendar year.

Liquidation. On the winding up of our company, if the assets available for distribution amongst our shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up, subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to our company for unpaid calls or otherwise. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay the whole of the share capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them.

Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares. Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 calendar days prior to the specified time and place of payment. The shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares. Subject to the Cayman Companies Act, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and to any applicable requirements imposed from time to time by the Nasdaq, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or by any other recognized stock exchange on which our securities are listed, we may issue shares on terms that such shares are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders of these shares, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by our board of directors or by a special resolution of our shareholders and we may also repurchase any of our shares on such terms and in such manner as have been approved by our board of directors or by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders.

Under the Cayman Companies Act, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital (including share premium account) if our company can, immediately following on which such payment is proposed to be made, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Cayman Companies Act no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, our company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.

Variations of Rights of Shares. If at any time our share capital is divided into different classes or series of shares, the rights attached to any class or series of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class or series), whether or not our company is being wound-up, may be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or series or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of the class or series. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares, or the redemption or purchase of any shares of any class by us. The rights of the holders of shares shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

Issuance of Additional Shares. Our amended and restated memorandum of association authorizes our board of directors to issue additional Ordinary Shares from time to time as our board of directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.

Our amended and restated memorandum of association also authorizes our board of directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preferred shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:

•	the designation of the series;

•	the number of shares of the series;

•	the dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights;

•	the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences; and

•	any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights.

Our board of directors may issue preference shares without action by our shareholders to the extent authorized but unissued. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of Ordinary Shares.

Inspection of Books and Records. Holders of our Ordinary Shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our corporate records (other than copies of our memorandum and articles, the register of mortgages or charges, and any special resolutions passed by our shareholders). However, we will provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements.

Anti-Takeover Provisions. Some provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that:

•	authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders; and

•	limit the ability of shareholders to requisition and convene general meetings of shareholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company.

Exempted Company. We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Cayman Companies Act. The Cayman Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:

•	is not required to open its register of members for inspection;

•	does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

•	may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);

•	may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

•	may register as a limited duration company; and

•	may register as a segregated portfolio company.

Differences in Corporate Law

The Cayman Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England but does not follow recent English statutory enactments and accordingly there are significant differences between the Cayman Companies Act and the current Companies Act of England. In addition, the Cayman Companies Act differs from laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant differences between the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act applicable to us and the comparable laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements. The Cayman Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies provided that the laws of the foreign jurisdiction permit such merger or consolidation. For these purposes, (i) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (ii) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a new consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the shareholders and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose a company is a “parent” of a subsidiary if it holds issued shares that together represent at least ninety percent (90%) of the votes at a general meeting of the subsidiary.

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

Save in certain limited circumstances, a shareholder of a Cayman constituent company who dissents from the merger or consolidation is entitled to payment of the fair value of his or her shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) upon dissenting to the merger or consolidation, provided that the dissenting shareholder complies strictly with the procedures set out in the Cayman Companies Act. The

TABLE OF CONTENTS

exercise of such dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Cayman Companies Act also contains statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must in addition represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

•	the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

•	the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

•	the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and

•	the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Cayman Companies Act.

The Cayman Companies Act also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition which may facilitate the “squeeze out” of dissentient minority shareholder upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction by way of scheme of arrangement is thus approved and sanctioned, or if a tender offer is made and accepted, a dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Shareholders’ Suits. In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company, and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands court can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge:

•	an act which is illegal or ultra vires with respect to the company and is therefore incapable of ratification by the shareholders

•	an act which, although not ultra vires, requires authorization by a qualified (or special) majority (that is, more than a simple majority) which has not been obtained; and

•	an act which constitutes a “fraud on the minority” where the wrongdoers are themselves in control of the company.

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability. Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime or against the indemnified person’s own fraud or dishonesty. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such directors or officer, other than

TABLE OF CONTENTS

by reason of such person’s dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties. Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director owes three types of duties to the company: (i) statutory duties, (ii) fiduciary duties, and (iii) common law duties. The Cayman Companies Act imposes a number of statutory duties on a director. A Cayman Islands director’s fiduciary duties are not codified, however the courts of the Cayman Islands have held that a director owes the following fiduciary duties (a) a duty to act in what the director bona fide considers to be in the best interests of the company, (b) a duty to exercise their powers for the purposes they were conferred, (c) a duty to avoid fettering his or her discretion in the future and (d) a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and of duty. The common law duties owed by a director are those to act with skill, care and diligence that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and, also, to act with the skill, care and diligence in keeping with a standard of care commensurate with any particular skill they have which enables them to meet a higher standard than a director without those skills.

Shareholder Action by Written Resolution. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Cayman Islands law and our amended and restated articles of association provide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a unanimous written resolution signed by or on behalf of each shareholder who would have been entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting without a meeting being held.

Shareholder Proposals. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

The Cayman Companies Act provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our amended and restated articles of association provide that upon the requisition of any one or more of our shareholders who alone or together hold shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third of the total number of votes attaching to all issued and outstanding shares of our company entitled to vote at general meetings on the date of deposit of the requisition, our board of directors will be required to convene an extraordinary general meeting. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we may but are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. See “—Description of Securities—General Meetings of Shareholders” for more information on the rights of our shareholders’ rights to put proposals before the annual general meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Cumulative Voting. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled for a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands but our amended and restated articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

Removal of Directors. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our amended and restated articles of association, directors may be removed only for cause by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. In addition, a director’s office shall be vacated if the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (ii) is found to be or becomes of unsound mind or dies; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing to the company; (iv) without special leave of absence from our board of directors, is absent from three consecutive meetings of the board and the board resolves that his office be vacated; or (v) is removed from office pursuant to any other provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Transactions with Interested Shareholders. The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting share within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

Dissolution; Winding up. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.

Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so. Under the Cayman Companies Act and our amended and restated articles of association, our company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by a special resolution of our shareholders.

Variation of Rights of Shares. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under Cayman Islands law and our amended and restated articles of association, if at any time our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not we are being wound-up, may be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of the class.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amendment of Governing Documents. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Cayman Companies Act and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.

Rights of Non-resident or Foreign Shareholders. There are no limitations imposed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

Description of Warrants

The following is a brief summary of certain terms and conditions of the warrant to purchase 5,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Warrant”) that we issued to the Selling Securityholder in a private placement pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated May 30, 2024. The following description is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Warrant which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement to which this prospectus forms a part.

Exercise Price. The Warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of US$10.00 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution provisions reflecting share dividends and splits or other similar transactions, and weighted average anti-dilution protection with respect to the issuance of ordinary shares or ordinary share equivalents for consideration per share less than the initial exercise price of the Warrant, as described in the Warrant. Upon any and each adjustment of the exercise price, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (A) the product of (1) the exercise price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustment multiplied by (2) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment; by (B) the exercise price resulting from such adjustment.

Exercisability and Term. The Warrant is exercisable on any day within 12 months after its original issuance. The Warrant will be exercisable, at the option of the holder, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares) by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and by payment in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds for the number of Class A Ordinary Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares will be issued in connection with the exercise of the Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price of the Warrant.

Transferability. Subject to applicable securities laws, the Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

Exchange Listing. We do not plan on applying to list the Warrant on The Nasdaq Capital Market, any other national securities exchange, or any other nationally recognized trading system.

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrant and generally including situations where (A) we (i) consolidate or merge with or into another person or our shareholders immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not own at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving person immediately after such merger or consolidation, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our properties or assets to another person, (iii) allow another person to make a purchase, tender or exchange offer that is accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding ordinary shares, (iv) consummate a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another person whereby such other person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding ordinary shares or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding ordinary shares, or (B) any person or group is or shall become the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the aggregate voting power represented by issued and outstanding ordinary shares, the Warrant holder will be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrant) of the unexercised portion of the Warrant on the effective date of such fundamental transaction, assuming full exercisability of the Warrant (e.g. without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrant).

“Beneficial ownership” is a term broadly defined by the SEC in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and includes more than the typical form of share ownership, that is, shares held in the person’s name. The term also includes what is referred to as “indirect ownership,” meaning ownership of shares as to which a person has or shares investment power. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of May 31, 2024. In computing the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholder and the percentage ownership of Selling Securityholder, we deemed Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant as beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholder because the Warrant is exercisable within 60 days of May 31, 2024.

Relationships and Agreements with the Selling Securityholder

Except as otherwise disclosed in the footnotes to the table above and as described below, the Selling Securityholder does not, and within the past three years has not had, any position, office or other material relationship with us.

On May 30, 2024, we entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Selling Securityholder, pursuant to which we issued and sold to the Selling Securityholder 18,587,360 Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrant, which entitles the holder thereof to purchase 5,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of US$10.00 per share. The Warrant is subject to customary anti-dilution provisions reflecting share dividends and splits or other similar transactions, and weighted average anti-dilution protection with respect to the issuance of ordinary shares or ordinary share equivalents for consideration per share less than the initial exercise price of the Warrant. The Warrant expires one year after issuance of the Warrant. We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Class A Ordinary Shares by the Selling Securityholder. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise, if ever exercised, of the Warrant.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the Class A Ordinary Shares on behalf of the Selling Securityholder to permit the resale from time to time of the Class A Ordinary Shares by the Selling Securityholder, including its donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest, after the date of this prospectus. The Selling Securityholder may, from time to time, sell any or all of the Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by it (including Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant) and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. These sales may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of the sale or at negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the Class A Ordinary Shares:

•	on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Class A Ordinary Shares are traded;

•	in the over-the-counter market;

•	in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

•	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

•	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Class A Ordinary Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for their account pursuant to this prospectus;

•	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

•	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

•	repurchase, buy and sell back and similar transactions;

•	privately negotiated transactions;

The Selling Securityholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Class A Ordinary Shares owned by it (including Class A Ordinary Shares issuance upon the exercise of the Warrant) and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell Class A Ordinary Shares, from time to time, under this prospectus under applicable provisions of the Securities Act, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus amending the name of the Selling Securityholder to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as the Selling Securityholder under this prospectus.

The Selling Securityholder may also sell Class A Ordinary Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or Regulation S, or pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

There can be no assurance that the Selling Securityholder will sell any or all of our Class A Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Securityholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Securityholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of Class A Ordinary Shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. In connection with sales of the Class A Ordinary Shares or otherwise, the Selling Securityholder may enter into derivative or hedging transactions with broker-dealers, other financial institutions or third parties, which may in turn

TABLE OF CONTENTS

engage in short sales of the Class A Ordinary Shares offered hereby in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with broker-dealers, other financial institutions or third parties or sell securities not covered by this prospectus in privately negotiated or registered transactions. These transactions may involve the sale of Class A Ordinary Shares by the Selling Securityholder by forward sale or by an offering (directly or by entering into derivative transactions with broker-dealers, other financial institutions or third parties) of options, rights, warrants or other securities that are offered with, convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Ordinary Shares. The Selling Securityholder may also sell Class A Ordinary Shares short and deliver shares covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Securityholder may also loan, pledge, hypothecate or sell Class A Ordinary Shares, including pursuant to repurchase, buy and sell back and similar transactions, to broker-dealers, other financial institutions or third parties that in turn may sell such shares.

If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with derivative transactions, the broker-dealers, other financial institutions or third parties may sell Class A Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the broker-dealer, other financial institution or third party may use Class A Ordinary Shares pledged by the Selling Securityholder or borrowed from the Selling Securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of Class A Ordinary Shares and may use Class A Ordinary Shares received from the Selling Securityholder in settlement of derivative transactions to close out any related open borrowings of Class A Ordinary Shares.

The Selling Securityholder and any broker-dealers or other third parties that are involved in selling Class A Ordinary Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions or discounts received by such broker-dealers or other third parties and any profit on the resale of the Class A Ordinary Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the Class A Ordinary Shares is made, a prospectus supplement will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of Class A Ordinary Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or other third parties, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Securityholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers or other third parties. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of Class A Ordinary Shares will be borne by the Selling Securityholder.

Under the securities laws of some states, the Class A Ordinary Shares offered hereby may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares may not be sold unless such Class A Ordinary Shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

If the Selling Securityholder uses this prospectus for any sale of Class A Ordinary Shares, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the Selling Securityholder and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Class A Ordinary Shares under this prospectus or any prospectus supplement.

We have agreed to pay all expenses of registration incurred in connection with the offering of Class A Ordinary Shares under this prospectus, except for any underwriting discounts, if any, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Class A Ordinary Shares by the Selling Securityholder, all of which are to be paid by the Selling Securityholder.

TAXATION

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Ordinary Shares by a “U.S. Holder” (as defined below). This discussion applies only to Ordinary Shares that are held by a U.S. Holder as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not describe all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a U.S. Holder in light of such U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, nor does it address any state, local, or non-U.S. tax considerations, any non-income tax (such as gift or estate tax) considerations, the alternative minimum tax, the special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, or any tax consequences that may be relevant to U.S. Holders that are subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

•	banks or other financial institutions;

•	insurance companies;

•	mutual funds;

•	pension or retirement plans;

•	S corporations;

•	broker or dealers in securities or currencies;

•	traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment;

•	regulated investment companies;

•	real estate investment trusts;

•	trusts or estates;

•	tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations);

•	persons that hold Ordinary Shares as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion,” “synthetic security,” “constructive sale,” or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

•	persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;

•	certain U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

•	persons owning (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 5% (by vote or value) or more of our shares;

•	persons that acquired Ordinary Shares pursuant to an exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation;

•	partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and investors in such entities;

•	“controlled foreign corporations” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code;

•	“passive foreign investment companies” within the meaning of Section 1297(a) of the Code; and

•	corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Ordinary Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership and the partner. Partnerships holding Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences in their particular circumstances.

This discussion is based on the Code, the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings, and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change or differing interpretation could alter the tax consequences described herein. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will not challenge the tax considerations described herein and that a court will not sustain such challenge.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares, that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•	an individual who is a U.S. citizen or resident of the United States;

•	a corporation (including an entity treated 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;

•	an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

•

a trust (i) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more “United States persons” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) that has in effect a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF ORDINARY SHARES IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Distributions on Ordinary Shares

Subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below under “––Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” distributions on Ordinary Shares generally will be taxable as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the applicable U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Ordinary Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other taxable disposition of the Ordinary Shares and will be treated as described below under “—Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Ordinary Shares.” The amount of any such distributions will include any amounts required to be withheld by us (or another applicable withholding agent) in respect of any non-U.S. taxes. Any such amount treated as a dividend will be treated as foreign-source dividend income. Any such dividends received by a corporate U.S. Holder generally will not qualify for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, any such dividends generally will be taxed at currently preferential long-term capital gains rates only if (i) Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or we are eligible for benefits under an applicable tax treaty with the United States, (ii) we are not treated as a PFIC with respect to the applicable U.S. Holder at the time the dividend was paid or in the preceding year, and (iii) certain holding period and other requirements are met. Any such dividends paid in a currency other than the U.S. dollar generally will be the U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of actual or constructive receipt, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. A U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars after the date of actual or constructive receipt.

As noted above and subject to applicable limitations, taxing jurisdictions other than the United States may withhold taxes from distributions on Ordinary Shares, and a U.S. Holder may be eligible for a reduced rate of withholding to the extent there is an applicable tax treaty between the applicable taxing jurisdiction and the United States and/or may be eligible for a foreign tax credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. Recently issued U.S. Treasury regulations, which apply to foreign taxes paid or accrued in taxable years beginning on or after December 28, 2021, may in some circumstances prohibit a U.S. Holder from claiming a foreign tax credit with respect to certain foreign taxes that are not creditable under applicable tax treaties. In lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit, a U.S. Holder may, at such U.S. Holder’s election, deduct foreign taxes in computing such U.S. Holder’s taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. tax law. An election to deduct foreign taxes in lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit applies to all foreign taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year in which such election is made. The foreign tax credit rules are complex and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the application of such rules, including the creditability of foreign taxes, in their particular circumstances.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Ordinary Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” upon any sale or other taxable disposition of Ordinary Shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the sum of (A) the amount of cash and (B) the fair market value of any

TABLE OF CONTENTS

other property received in such sale or disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares. Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Ordinary Shares exceeds one year. Long-term capital gain recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders generally will be taxed at currently preferential long-term capital gains rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. For foreign tax credit purposes, any such gain or loss generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

If the consideration received by a U.S. Holder upon a sale or other taxable disposition of Ordinary Shares is not paid in U.S. dollars, the amount realized will be the U.S. dollar value of such payment calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of such sale or disposition. A U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or loss to the extent of the difference, if any, between (i) the U.S. dollar value of such payment on the date of such sale or disposition and (ii) the U.S. dollar value of such payment calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of settlement.

U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a sale or other taxable disposition of Ordinary Shares, including the creditability of foreign taxes imposed on such sale or disposition by a taxing jurisdiction other than the United States, in their particular circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of U.S. Holders could be materially different from that described above if we are treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which (i) 50% or more of the average value of its assets (generally determined on the basis of a weighted quarterly average) consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income, or (ii) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, investment gains, net gains from the sales of property that does not give rise to any income and net gains from the sale of commodities (subject to certain exceptions, such as an exception for certain income derived in the active conduct of a trade or business). Cash and cash equivalents are, and cryptocurrency balances are likely, passive assets. The value of goodwill will generally be treated as an active or passive asset based on the nature of the income produced in the activity to which the goodwill is attributable. For purposes of the PFIC rules, a non-U.S. corporation that owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation is treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation, and received directly its proportionate share of the income of the other corporation.

Based on the Company’s analysis of its income, assets, activities, and market capitalization, the Company believes that it was not a PFIC for its taxable year ended December 31, 2023. However, the Company’s PFIC status for any taxable year is a factual annual determination that can be made only after the end of that year and will depend on the composition of the Company’s income and assets and the value of its assets from time to time (including the value of its goodwill, which may be determined in large part by reference to the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares from time to time, which could be volatile). In addition, the risk of the Company being a PFIC for any taxable year will increase if its market capitalization declines substantially during that year. Furthermore, whether and to which extent the Company’s income and assets, including goodwill, will be characterized as active or passive will depend on various factors that are subject to uncertainty, including the Company’s future business plan and the application of laws that are subject to varying interpretation. For example, there is no authority that directly addresses the proper treatment of certain items of the Company’s income, such as income from cryptocurrency self-mining, hash rate sharing, or hosting for purposes of the PFIC rules and, although the Company currently treats these items of income as active, such treatment is uncertain. Moreover, certain of the Company’s business activities generate passive income and, although the amount of such income is currently small, the Company’s risk of being a PFIC will increase if the proportion of the Company’s revenue earned from such business activities increases in future taxable years. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that the Company will not be a PFIC for its current or any future taxable year, and the Company’s U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect to the Company’s PFIC status for any taxable year.

Although PFIC status is generally determined annually, if we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder in its Ordinary Shares and the U.S. Holder did not make either a mark-to-market election or a qualifying electing fund (“QEF”) election or, which are referred to collectively as the “PFIC Elections” for purposes of this discussion, for the first taxable year in which we are treated as a PFIC, and in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Ordinary Shares, or the U.S. Holder

TABLE OF CONTENTS

does not otherwise make a purging election, as described below, the U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special and adverse rules with respect to (i) any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other taxable disposition of its Ordinary Shares and (ii) any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to the U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by the U.S. Holder in respect of its Ordinary Shares during the three preceding taxable years of the U.S. Holder or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period in its Ordinary Shares).

Under these rules:

•	the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period in its Ordinary Shares;

•

the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, and to any period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which we are treated as a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

•	the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in the U.S. Holder’s holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

•	an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder with respect to the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

PFIC Elections

If we are treated as a PFIC and Ordinary Shares constitute “marketable stock,” a U.S. Holder may avoid the adverse PFIC tax consequences discussed above if such U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election with respect to its Ordinary Shares for the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) the Ordinary Shares and each subsequent taxable year. Such U.S. Holder generally will include for each of its taxable years as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Ordinary Shares at the end of such year over its adjusted tax basis in its Ordinary Shares. The U.S. Holder also will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted tax basis in its Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of its Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income.

The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” generally, stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Nasdaq (on which Ordinary Shares are currently listed), or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. As such, such election generally will not apply to any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, unless the shares in such subsidiaries are themselves “marketable stock.” As such, U.S. Holders may continue to be subject to the adverse PFIC tax consequences discussed above with respect to any lower-tier PFICs, as discussed below, notwithstanding their mark-to-market election with respect to Ordinary Shares.

If made, a mark-to-market election would be effective for the taxable year for which the election was made and for all subsequent taxable years unless Ordinary Shares cease to qualify as “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election with respect to Ordinary Shares in their particular circumstances.

The tax consequences that would apply if we were a PFIC and a U.S. Holder made a valid QEF election would also be different from the adverse PFIC tax consequences described above. In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, however, a U.S. Holder generally must receive a PFIC Annual Information Statement from us. If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year, we do not currently intend to provide the information necessary for U.S. Holders to make or maintain a QEF election. As such, U.S. Holders should assume that a QEF election will not be available with respect to Ordinary Shares.

If we are treated as a PFIC and a U.S. Holder failed or was unable to timely make a PFIC Election for prior periods, the U.S. Holder might seek to make a purging election to rid its Ordinary Shares of the PFIC taint. Under

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the purging election, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold its Ordinary Shares at their fair market value and any gain recognized on such deemed sale will be treated as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, the U.S. Holder will have a new adjusted tax basis and holding period in the Ordinary Shares solely for purposes of the PFIC rules.

Related PFIC Rules

If we are treated as a PFIC and, at any time, has a non-U.S. subsidiary that is treated as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder generally would be deemed to own a proportionate amount of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above if we receive a distribution from, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of our interest in, such lower-tier PFIC, or the U.S. Holder otherwise was deemed to have sold or otherwise disposed of an interest in such lower-tier PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the lower-tier PFIC rules in their particular circumstances.

A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF election or a mark-to-market election is made) and to provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations applicable to such U.S. Holder until such required information is furnished to the IRS and could result in penalties.

THE PFIC RULES ARE VERY COMPLEX AND U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF SUCH RULES IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries are subject to information reporting, and may be subject to backup withholding, unless (i) the U.S. Holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the information reporting requirements and the application of the backup withholding rules in their particular circumstances.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND NON-INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE IMPACT OF ANY POTENTIAL CHANGE IN LAW, IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Cayman Islands Tax Considerations

The following summary contains a description of certain Cayman Islands income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of ordinary shares, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase ordinary shares. The summary is based upon the tax laws of Cayman Islands and regulations thereunder as of the date hereof, which are subject to change.

Prospective investors should consult their professional advisers on the possible tax consequences of buying, holding or selling any shares under the laws of their country of citizenship, residence or domicile.

The following is a discussion on certain Cayman Islands income tax consequences of an investment in the Class A Ordinary Shares. The discussion is a general summary of present law, which is subject to prospective and retroactive change. It is not intended as tax advice, does not consider any investor’s particular circumstances, and does not consider tax consequences other than those arising under Cayman Islands law.

Under Existing Cayman Islands Laws:

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our securities will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of interest and principal or a dividend or capital to any

TABLE OF CONTENTS

holder of Class A Ordinary Shares, nor will gains derived from the disposal of the Class A Ordinary Shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax. The Cayman Islands currently have no income, corporation or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.

No stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue of our securities or on an instrument of transfer in respect of our securities, except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands.

The Cayman Islands currently levy no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciations and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to the Company levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands save certain stamp duties which may be applicable, from time to time, on certain instruments executed in or brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands.

LEGAL MATTERS

We are being represented by Cooley LLP with respect to certain legal matters as to United States federal securities and New York State law. The validity of Ordinary Shares has been passed on by Ogier. If legal matters in connection with offerings made pursuant to this prospectus are passed upon by counsel for underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, such counsel will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements of Bitdeer Technologies Group and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, as incorporated by reference in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement have been so incorporated by reference in reliance on the report of MaloneBailey, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. The current address of MaloneBailey, LLP is 10370 Richmond Avenue, Houston, TX 77042.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands to take advantage of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands exempted company, such as:

•	political and economic stability;

•	an effective judicial system;

•	tax neutrality;

•	the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and

•	the availability of professional and support services.

However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include but are not limited to:

•	the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors as compared to those of the United States; and

•	Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

Our constituent documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

We have appointed Cogency Global Inc., located at 122 East 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10168, as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.

Certain of our directors are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and most of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these individuals, or to bring an action against us or these individuals in the United States, or to enforce against us or them 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 in the United States.

Ogier, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws, and (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

There is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a foreign judgment, without any re-examination or re-litigation of matters adjudicated upon, provided such judgment:

(a)	is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction;

(b)	imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given;

(c)

is final;

(d)	is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty;

(e)	was not obtained by fraud; and

(f)	is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

Subject to the above limitations, in appropriate circumstances, a Cayman Islands court may give effect in the Cayman Islands to other kinds of final foreign judgments such as declaratory orders, orders for performance of contracts and injunctions.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 8.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

Our currently effective memorandum and articles of association provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers (each an indemnified person) against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such indemnified person, other than by reason of such person’s own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such indemnified person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. Under these agreements, we agree to indemnify our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being a director or officer of our company.

Item 9.

Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

(a)

Exhibits

See the Exhibit Index.

The agreements included as exhibits to this registration statement contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and (i) were not intended to be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate; (ii) may have been qualified in such agreement by disclosure that was made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement; (iii) may apply contract standards of “materiality” that are different from “materiality” under the applicable securities laws; and (iv) were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement.

We acknowledge that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, we are responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosure of material information regarding material contractual provisions is required to make the statements in this registration statement not misleading.

(b)	Financial Statement Schedules

Schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes thereto.

Item 10.

Undertakings.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(a)	To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(1)	to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(2)

to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total

II-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(3)	to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2) and (a)(3) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or From F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b).

(b)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(d)

To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided that the Registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (d) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or Item 8.A of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

(e)	That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(1)	Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(2)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(f)	That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering

II-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(1)	any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(2)	any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

(3)	the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and

(4)	any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

(g)

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless, in the opinion of its counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 4.2

Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by [***], has been omitted because such information is both not material and is the type that the Company customarily and actually treats that as private or confidential.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of May 30, 2024 by and between:

(1)

Bitdeer Technologies Group, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”); and

(2)

Tether International Limited, a BVI business company (the “Purchaser”).

The Company and the Purchaser are sometimes each referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” This Agreement, the Warrant (as defined below), the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) and any agreements and documents that may be required to implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions”.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Company desires to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser wish to purchase from the Company, (i) Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.0000001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”) and (ii) a Warrant to purchase Ordinary Shares (the “Warrant” and the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, the “Warrant Shares”), in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, in a private placement exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

WHEREAS, the parties hereto are concurrently entering into a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company shall register under the Securities Act the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) by the Purchaser, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE

Section 1.1 Issuance, Sale and Purchase of Ordinary Shares and Warrant. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to issue, sell and deliver to the Purchaser, at the Closing (as defined below), 18,587,360 Ordinary Shares and related Warrant, which will entitle the holder thereof to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of US$10.00 per Ordinary Share within one year after issuance of the Warrant, for a total amount of consideration equal to US$100,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), free and clear of all liens, charges, pledges, mortgages, security interests, encumbrances, assessments, rights of first refusal, rights of pre-emption, third-party rights or interests, claims and other restrictions of any kind (collectively, “Liens”) (except for restrictions arising under the Securities Act or created by virtue of this Agreement). The Ordinary Shares issued to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be referred to herein as the Purchaser’s “Purchased Shares”; the Warrant issued to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be referred to herein as the Purchaser’s “Purchased Warrant”; the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Warrant are collectively referred to herein as the “Purchased Securities”; and the Purchased Securities and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.

Section 1.2 Closing.

(a) Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of the conditions precedent specified in Section 1.3, the closing (the “Closing”) of the sale and purchase of the Purchased Securities pursuant to Section 1.1 shall take place remotely via the electronic exchange of the closing documents and signatures on or as soon as possible after the date hereof or on such date and such other time as the Company and the Purchaser may mutually agree upon. The date and time of the Closing are referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

(b) Payment and Delivery. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay its Purchase Price to the Company in U.S. dollars by same-day wire transfer, or by such other method mutually agreeable to the Company and the Purchaser, of immediately available funds to such bank account(s) designated in writing by the Company, and the Company shall deliver (i) the Purchased Shares in book-entry form, in the name of the Purchaser, free and clear of all Liens (except for restrictions arising under the Securities Act or created by virtue of this Agreement) along with evidence of the issuance of the Purchased Shares, and (ii) a duly executed copy of the Purchased Warrant (with the original to follow per Section 1.3).

THESE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED WITHIN THE UNITED STATES IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

Section 1.3 Closing Conditions.

(a) Conditions to the Purchaser’s Obligations to Effect the Closing.

(h) Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, nor the consummation by the Company of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor the performance by the Company of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in accordance with their terms requires the consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, or the giving notice to, any Governmental Authority or any third party, except such as (1) have been or will have been obtained, made or given on or prior to the Closing Date and (2) will be obtained in accordance with the terms of Article I of this Agreement.

(i) The business of the Company or its Subsidiaries is not being conducted, and has not been conducted at any time during the three years prior to the date hereof, in violation of any law, constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction or rule of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company except for violations that do not and would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(j) The Company has filed or furnished, as applicable, all SEC Documents required to be filed or furnished by it with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and Nasdaq for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) pursuant to the applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules. As of their respective filing or furnishing dates, or to the extent corrected by a subsequent restatement, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or Nasdaq’s rules, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as applicable, to the respective SEC Documents, and, none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed or furnished, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date of this Agreement, the Company’s Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq, and the Company has not received any notification that the Commission or Nasdaq is contemplating suspending or terminating such listings (or the applicable registration under the Exchange Act related thereto).

(k) The Company is a “foreign private issuer,” within the meaning of Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. The Company has taken all actions required pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5615(a)(3) to duly and validly rely on the exemption for foreign private issuers from applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq by adopting the home country practice in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (including an exemption from any Nasdaq rules that would otherwise require seeking shareholder approval in respect of such transactions). The Company may issue the relevant Ordinary Shares hereunder without regard to the limitations imposed by Nasdaq Rule 5635(d).

(l) The financial statements (including any related notes) contained in the SEC Documents (collectively, the “Financial Statements”): (A) were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby (except (a) as may be otherwise indicated in such Financial Statements or the notes thereto, or (b) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed to summary statements) and (B) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Company and the Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby, in each case except as disclosed therein or in the SEC Documents and as permitted under the Exchange Act.

(m) The Company has established and maintains a system of internal accounting controls that will be in compliance with the Exchange Act and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting are effective and the Company is not aware of any material weakness in their internal controls over financial reporting. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the SEC Documents, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the SEC Documents).

(n) There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company (or any Subsidiary) and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in SEC Documents and is not so disclosed and would have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(o) The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which are applicable to it as of the Closing Date. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

(p) Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2 of this Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Purchased Securities by the Company to the Purchaser as contemplated hereby nor under the Transaction Documents.

(q) There are no claims, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, or arbitrations by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pending (of which the Company or its Subsidiaries has received notice or otherwise has knowledge) by or before any Governmental Authority (as defined below), or, to the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, threatened to be brought by or before any Governmental Authority, that would have a Material Adverse Effect or that questions the validity of this Agreement or other Transaction Documents or the right of the Company to enter into this Agreement or other Transaction Documents or to consummate the Transactions. There is no unsatisfied judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any Governmental Authority outstanding against or any open injunction binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. As used herein, “Governmental Authority” means any federal, state, provincial, local, municipal, foreign or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority, including any arbitrator and applicable securities exchanges, or any department, minister, agency, commission, commissioner, board, subdivision, bureau, agency, instrumentality, court or other tribunal of any of the foregoing.

(r) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns or has obtained valid and enforceable licenses for the inventions, patents, patent applications, trademarks, trade names, service names, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information) and other intellectual property described in the SEC Documents as being owned or licensed by it or which are necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted (with respect to the development and commercialization of the product candidates described in the SEC Documents, except where the failure to own or license such rights would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect) (collectively, “Intellectual Property”), and to the Company’s knowledge the conduct of its business does not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise conflict in any material respect with any such rights of others. The Intellectual Property of the Company is subsisting, free and clear of all material Liens, and has not been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part and the Company has no knowledge of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such adjudication. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no third parties who have rights to any Intellectual Property, except for any customary reversionary rights of third-party licensors with respect to Intellectual Property that is disclosed in the SEC Documents as licensed to the Company or a Subsidiary; and, to the Company’s knowledge, there is no infringement by third parties of any Intellectual Property. The Company and each Subsidiary has complied in all material respects with the terms of each agreement pursuant to which Intellectual Property has been licensed to the Company or a Subsidiary, and all such agreements are in full force and effect. The Company and each Subsidiary has taken commercially reasonable steps to protect, maintain, and safeguard its Intellectual Property, including the execution of appropriate nondisclosure, confidentiality agreements, and invention assignment agreements and invention assignments with its employees or consultants, and, to the Company’s knowledge, no employee of the Company or consultant is in or has been in violation of any material term of any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement, invention assignment agreement, non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement, nondisclosure agreement, or any restrictive covenant to or with a former employer where the basis of such violation relates to such employee’s employment with the Company.

(s) Since January 1, 2024, (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries have carried on their respective businesses in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, and, there has not been any change, development, occurrence or event that have had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any material liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to IFRS or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered materially its method of accounting or the manner in which it keeps its accounting books and records, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its share capital (other than in connection with repurchases of unvested stock issued to employees of the Company), and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock option or stock purchase plans or executive and director compensation arrangements disclosed in the SEC Documents. Except for the issuance of the Purchased Securities and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, no event, liability or development has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, operations or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made that has not been publicly disclosed.

(t) Neither the Company, nor to the Company’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person or entity acting on behalf of the Company has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, as amended, or any similar law or legislation; or made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

There have been no examinations or audits of any Tax Returns or reports by any applicable federal, state, local or foreign governmental agency. There is no proposed deficiency, audit, action, suit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes pending or threatened. There is no Tax lien, whether imposed by any Governmental Authority, outstanding against the assets, properties or business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for liens for Taxes not yet due and payable as may accrue in the ordinary course of business.

Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and any Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting, and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects.

(aa) Neither the Company, nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its affiliates or any person or entity acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of the Purchased Securities as contemplated hereby, (ii) as it relates to the offer and sale by the Company of the Purchased Securities as contemplated hereby, require registration of any of the Ordinary Shares under the Securities Act or (iii) cause transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act, nor will the Company take any action or steps that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Ordinary Shares under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to the registration rights set forth below) or would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be integrated with other securities offerings for purposes of the Securities Act.

From and after the time of such disclosure, the Company represents to the Purchaser that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Purchaser by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

In addition, effective upon the time of such disclosure, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates on the one hand, and the Purchaser or any of its affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of the Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.

The Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers directly with respect to the Purchaser’s investment and conducted and completed the Purchaser’s own independent due diligence with respect to the Transactions with respect to the Purchaser.

(g) Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, principals, shareholders, partners, employees and agents has been requested to or has provided the Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired.

However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement will waive any of the Company’s obligations or its liability under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligations hereunder or thereunder) or otherwise in connection with the Securities or any other agreement between the Company and the Purchaser (or any of its affiliates).

(i) The Purchaser has determined based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate that its participation in the Transactions is a fit, proper and suitable investment for the Purchaser, notwithstanding the substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the securities. The Purchaser is able to bear the substantial risks associated with its purchase, including but not limited to loss of its entire investment therein.

(j) The Purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Purchased Securities.

The Purchaser further acknowledges that, absent an effective registration under the Securities Act, its Purchased Securities may only be offered, sold or otherwise transferred (x) to the Company, (y) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S or (z) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that the holding period and other requirements thereof have been met.

(n) The Purchaser is (i) not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S, or (ii) (a) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (b) an “institutional account” as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c) and (c) a sophisticated institutional investor with sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in investments similar to those involved in the Transactions to properly evaluate the risks and merits of the Purchaser’s participation in the Transactions.

(o) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Purchased Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Purchased Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act.

(p) The Purchaser does not, directly or indirectly, own more than five percent of the outstanding common stock (or other voting securities) of any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or a holding company for a FINRA member, and is not otherwise a “restricted person” for the purposes of FINRA Rule 5130.

(q) The Purchaser acknowledges that (1) it has not relied on any statements or other information provided by the Placement Agent or its affiliates with respect to its decision to invest in the Purchased Securities, and (2) neither the Placement Agent nor any of its affiliates have prepared any disclosure or offering document in connection with the offer and sale of the Purchased Securities.

THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

BITDEER TECHNOLOGIES GROUP

WARRANT TO PURCHASE ORDINARY SHARES

Warrant No.: 001	Number of Warrant Shares (as such number may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Warrant):	5,000,000

Date of Issuance: May 30, 2024 (“Issuance Date”) Expiration Date: May 30, 2025 (“Expiration Date”)

Bitdeer Technologies Group, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, Tether International Limited, a BVI business company, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Ordinary Shares (the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 5:30 p.m., New York Time, on the Expiration Date, Warrant Shares (as defined below). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 15. This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2024 by and between the Company and investor named therein (the “Subscription Agreement”).

EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares), by delivery of a written notice (which may be by facsimile or email), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds (a “Cash Exercise”). The Holder shall not be required to surrender this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder; provided, that in the event of an exercise of this Warrant for all Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder, this Warrant is surrendered to the Company by the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice. Within one (1) Trading Day following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the Aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Exercise Notice by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank or such other form of payment as may be agreed by the Company. No ink-original Exercise Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Exercise Notice form be required. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by email an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder. The Company shall deliver any objection to the Exercise Notice on or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice. In the event of any discrepancy or dispute, the records of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. On or before the earlier of (i) the second (2nd) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the date on which the Holder has delivered to the Company a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Company shall, upon the request of the Holder, issue and register such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise in book-entry form in the name of such Holder thereof in accordance with the instructions delivered to the Company’s transfer agent by the Company, in each case issued free and clear of all Liens (as defined in the Subscription Agreement). As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Principal Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Exercise Notice.

If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than ten (10) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(e)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable based on the income of the Holder or in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any book-entry accounts for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to register Warrant Shares in the Holder’s account for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, then the Holder shall be entitled, but not required, to rescind the applicable previously submitted Exercise Notice and the Company shall return all consideration paid by Holder for such shares upon such rescission. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to make any cash payments to the Holder in lieu of issuance of the Warrant Shares.

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means US$10.00 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

(d) Calculations. All calculations under this Agreement shall be made to the nearest one ten- hundredth of one cent or the nearest share, as applicable.

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a) Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its Ordinary Shares into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective (or, in the case of any stock dividend, immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend).

(b) Adjustment Upon Issuance of Ordinary Shares. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, effect a Subsequent Issuance, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have effected a Subsequent Issuance, any Ordinary Shares (including the issuance or sale of Ordinary Shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to the price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (i) the sum of (A) the product obtained by multiplying the number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by the Exercise Price then in effect plus (B) the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance; by (ii) the sum of (A) the number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (B) the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold) by the Company in such Dilutive Issuance.

(c) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Exercise Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 2(b) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 2(c)(iv)) for which Ordinary Shares is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed issued or sold for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price under Section 2(b)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2(b)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(c)(iii), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Ordinary Shares or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 2(c)(iv)) for which Ordinary Shares is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed issued or sold for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(b)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 2(b)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(c)(iii), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Exercise Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2(c).

(iii) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2(c)(i) or Section 2(c)(ii) hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2(c)(i) or Section 2(c)(ii) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2(c)(i) or Section 2(c)(ii) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, or (D) the maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 2(c)(i) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2(c)(i) hereof, then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(b)) the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(b) had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate, or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued, or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment the Exercise Price then in effect is reduced.

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 2(c), any Ordinary Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company shall be the market price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association, or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be $0.01; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Ordinary Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any cash consideration and the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Board and the Holder.

(v) Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the Exercise Price in accordance with this Section 2, in case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Ordinary Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, Options, or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be; provided, that if before the distribution to its holders of Ordinary Shares the Company legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription, or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

(vi) Treasury Shares. The number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of this Section 2.

(vii) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Adjustment to Exercise Price. Upon any and each adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 2(b), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (A) the product of (1) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustment multiplied by (2) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such adjustment; by (B) the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

(d) Par Value. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, in no event shall the Exercise Price be reduced below the par value of the Ordinary Shares.

(e) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by, or similar to, the provisions of Section 2(a) – (c) but not expressly provided for by such provisions, and the failure to make an adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant would not fairly and fully protect the purchase rights of this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles hereof, then the Company’s Board of Directors, acting reasonably and in good faith, shall determine the appropriate adjustment to be made on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 2.

3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, other than a distribution of Ordinary Shares covered by Section 2(a)) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case provision shall be made so that upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution; provided,

however, that at the option of the Holder, in lieu of the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution:

(a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Weighted Average Price of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one Ordinary Shares, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Weighted Average Price of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

(b) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a).

4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

(a) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(b) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction, then the Company (or the successor entity) shall purchase this Warrant and all other outstanding Warrants from the Holders by paying to the Holders cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of each Warrant on the effective date of such Fundamental Transaction. For the sake of clarity, such calculation shall assume full exercisability of this Warrant (e.g. without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant).

5. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES. The Company covenants that it will at all times after the Issuance Date reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Ordinary Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder. The Company covenants that all Ordinary Shares so issuable and deliverable shall be, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that such Ordinary Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Ordinary Shares may be listed.

6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

7. REGISTRATION AND REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

(a) Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon the records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. The Company shall also register any transfer, exchange, reissuance or cancellation of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register.

The acceptance of the new Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the new Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant.

(c) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form (which shall not include the posting of any bond) and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(e)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

(d) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company together with all applicable transfer taxes, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(e)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to issue Warrants for fractional Ordinary Shares.

(e) Issuance of New Warrants.

(f) Representation by the Holder.

9. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER; SEVERABILITY. This Warrant may be modified or amended with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. The Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Holder. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision of this Warrant shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the Company and the Holder will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and when agreed, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Warrant Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

11. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Except as provided in Section 13, EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT.

NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

12. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via email or facsimile within five (5) Trading Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within five (5) Trading Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days thereafter submit via email (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than twenty (20) Trading Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The expenses of the investment bank and accountant will be borne by the Company unless the investment bank or accountant determines that the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares by the Holder was incorrect by more than 25%, in which case the expenses of the investment bank and accountant will be borne by the Holder.

14. REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to seek an injunction restraining any breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, if the Company is for any reason unable to issue and deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have no obligation to pay to the Holder any cash or other consideration or otherwise “net cash settle” this Warrant.

3.	Shelf Registration.

(a) Filing.

(i) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file, as soon as reasonably practicable, a registration statement for a shelf registration in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act on Form F-3 (or if Form F-3 is not available, on Form F-1) (a “Shelf”) covering the issuance (if applicable) and the resale of all the Registrable Securities then outstanding on a delayed or continuous basis (and which may also cover any other securities of the Company) and shall use reasonable best efforts to have such Shelf declared effective no later than the date thirty (30) days after the filing thereof. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holder.

(ii) During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(iii) If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf) and shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional Shelf registering the resale of all Registrable Securities then outstanding, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holder. If an additional Shelf is filed, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (a) cause such additional Shelf to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing (it being agreed that the additional Shelf shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (b) keep such additional Shelf continuously effective, usable and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until the end of the Effectiveness Period. If use of any Shelf should expire with respect to the resale of the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period, the Company will take all action necessary or appropriate to permit the resale of the Registrable Securities to continue uninterrupted as contemplated in the expired Shelf, including by filing an additional Shelf relating to the Registrable Securities prior to the expiration of such Shelf.

(b) Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time during the term of this Agreement when an effective Shelf is on file with the SEC, if the Holder delivers a written request stating that the Holder or any member of the Holder Affiliated Group intends to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”), then, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall take all actions reasonably required, including amending or supplementing the Shelf, to enable such Registrable Securities to be offered and sold as contemplated by such request; provided, however, that (A) the Company shall be required to effect no more than one (1) Underwritten Shelf Takedown per calendar year (unless the Company, in its sole discretion, otherwise agrees to effect an additional Underwritten Shelf Takedown during such calendar year) and no more than five (5) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns in total during the term of this Agreement; (B) each Underwritten Shelf Takedown must pertain to at least $15 million of Registrable Securities; and (C) no Underwritten Shelf Takedown may be requested within ninety (90) days of the date of the Prospectus supplement filed with respect to any prior Underwritten Shelf Takedown. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the identities of the sellers and the intended method or methods of distribution thereof.

(c) Priority in Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. If the managing underwriter(s) of an Underwritten Shelf Takedown advise the Company and the Holder in writing that in its good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities that the Holder and the Company intend to include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown is likely to have a material adverse effect on the timing, price or distribution of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, before including any securities proposed to be sold by the Company, the Registrable Securities that in the good faith opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without having such material adverse effect on such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as determined by the Holder.

(d) Selection of Underwriters. The Holder shall choose the lead underwriter to administer an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, subject to the consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The right of any member of the Holder Affiliated Group to include Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to this Section 3 is conditioned upon such member’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such member’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and upon each such member’s entering into (together with the Company and the other participating members) an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting (including pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriter(s)); provided that no such member shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that the Holder has requested the Company to include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown with respect to such member; provided further that no such Person (other than the Company) shall be required to make any representations or warranties other than those related to title and ownership of, and power and authority to transfer, shares and the accuracy and completeness of statements made in a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other document in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company or the managing underwriter(s) by such Person pertaining exclusively to such Person.

(e) Withdrawal. Without prejudice to the rights described in Section 3(b), prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” Prospectus or Prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Holder shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the managing underwriter(s) (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. If withdrawn, a request for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a request for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for purposes of Section 3(b) unless the Holder reimburses the Company for all registration expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown in accordance with Section 6.

(f) Suspension of Sales; Postponements in Requested Registrations. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement with respect to any Registrable Securities would require the Company to make a public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company (after consultation with external legal counsel) (i) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement so that such Registration Statement would not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) would not be required to be made at such time but for the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement and (iii) would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business or on the Company’s ability to effect a bona fide material proposed acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction (collectively, “Suspension Events”), then the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holder, delay the filing or initial effectiveness (but not the preparation) of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement; provided that the Company shall be permitted to do so no more than twice in any 12-month period, for an aggregate period not to exceed sixty (60) days following notice of any such Suspension Event. In the event that the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holder shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all members of the Holder Affiliated Group that have Registrable Securities included on the Registration Statement to, suspend, promptly upon receipt of the notice referred to above, the use of any Prospectus relating to such registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. If the Company postpones registration of Registrable Securities or requires the Holder or a member of the Holder Affiliated Group to suspend any Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw its request for such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and if it does so, such request shall not be treated for any purpose as the delivery of a request for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and Holder shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any registration expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

4.	Registration Procedures. The Company shall cooperate with any member of the Holder Affiliated Group in the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3, and shall, as soon as reasonably practicable:

(a) prepare and file, in each case as promptly as practicable, with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on such form as shall be available for the sale of the securities to be included thereon in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and, if such Registration Statement is not automatically effective upon filing, use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable and to remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including a free writing prospectus under Rule 433 (a “Free Writing Prospectus”)) and, to the extent reasonably practicable, documents that would be incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in a Registration Statement filed in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to the Holder, its counsel and the managing underwriter(s) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits thereto), which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such Persons, and such other documents reasonably requested by such Persons, including any comment letter from the SEC, and, if requested by such Persons, provide such Persons reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein and such other opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to the Company’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors. The Company shall include comments to any Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto from the Holder, its counsel, or the managing underwriters, as reasonably requested.

The Company shall not file any Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including such documents that, upon filing, would be incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein) with respect to an Underwritten Shelf Takedown to which the Holder, its counsel or the managing underwriter(s) objects in writing, unless the Company is advised by counsel that such filing is necessary to comply with applicable law;

(b) (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith and such Free Writing Prospectuses and Exchange Act reports as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective during the period provided herein, (ii) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement and (iii) cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, and as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act, in each case, until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement;

(c) notify the Holder, its counsel and the managing underwriter(s) promptly after the Company receives notice thereof (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment or any Free Writing Prospectus has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if at any time the Company has reason to believe that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 4(l) below cease to be true and correct, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of such Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (vi) of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, as then in effect, untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and that, in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(d) use reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest practical date;

(e) if requested by the managing underwriter(s) or the Holder, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or the Holder, as the case may be, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution of such securities set forth in the Registration Statement and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not have any obligation to modify any information if the Company reasonably believes in good faith that so doing would cause (i) the Registration Statement to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) the Prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(f) deliver to the Holder, its counsel, and the underwriters, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of Prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto (including any Free Writing Prospectus) as such Persons may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; and the Company, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 4, hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the Holder and the underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any such amendment or supplement thereto;

(g) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Holder, the underwriters, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Holder or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and to use reasonable best efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and to take any other action that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holder to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(g), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so subject or (iii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject (other than service of process in connection with such registration or qualification or any sale of Registrable Securities in connection therewith);

(h) cooperate with the selling members of the Holder Affiliated Group and the managing underwriter(s) to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legends) representing Registrable Securities to be sold and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter(s), if any, or the selling members of the Holder Affiliated Group may request;

(i) subject to Section 3(f) above and upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(c)(vi) above, promptly prepare a supplement or post- effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(j) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities from and after the effective date of such Registration Statement.

The Company shall not file or amend any Registration Statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or file any amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus used in connection therewith, that refers to any member of the Holder Affiliated Group by name or otherwise identifies such member of the Holder Affiliated Group as the holder of any securities of the Company without the consent of such member of the Holder Affiliated Group, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless and to the extent that such disclosure is required by law, rule or regulation, in which case the Company shall provide prompt written notice to such Holder prior to the filing of such amendment to any Registration Statement or amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus.

The Holder agrees, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each member of the Holder Affiliated Group to agree, that (A) without limiting the foregoing, no material nonpublic information obtained by such Person from the Company or pertaining to a Registration Statement will be used by such Person as the basis for any market transactions in securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries in violation of law, rule or regulation and (B) if the Holder or any such member of the Holder Affiliated Group has Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(c)(ii), 4(c)(iii), 4(c)(iv), 4(c)(v) and 4(c)(vi) hereof, such Person will promptly discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by such

Registration Statement or Prospectus until such Person’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(i) hereof or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus.

It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld).

(b) Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. As a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed in accordance with Section 4 hereof, the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the prospective seller of such Registrable Securities to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, severally and not jointly with any other seller of Registrable Securities, the Company, its officers, directors, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, from and against all Losses arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or any alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or any omission (or any alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such officers, directors, accountants, attorneys, agents, employees, and controlling persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such member of the Holder Affiliated Group with respect to such member for inclusion in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular or other document; provided, however, that the obligations of such Person hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that the liability of each such Person shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Person from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (less the aggregate amount of any damages which such Person has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such Loss or any substantially similar Loss arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities).

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or proceeding, to, unless in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such claim, assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume, or in the event of a conflict of interest cannot assume, the defense of such claim or proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel and to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided that an Indemnifying Party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnified Party a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Party and any other Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or for fees and expenses that are not reasonable. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (x) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder or (y) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on the Indemnified Party or adversely affects such Indemnified Party other than as a result of financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission.

The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), an Indemnifying Party that is a member of the Holder Affiliated Group shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that such Indemnifying Party has otherwise been, or would otherwise be, required to pay pursuant to Section 5(b) by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an Underwritten Offering are more favorable to the Company, on the one hand, or the members of the Holder Affiliated Group, on the other, in their capacities as Indemnified Parties, than the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(e) Deemed Underwriter. To the extent that any member of the Holder Affiliated Group is, or would be expected to be, deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities pursuant to any SEC comments or policies or any court of law or otherwise, the Company agrees that such member of the Holder Affiliated Group and its representatives shall be entitled to conduct the due diligence which would normally be conducted in connection with an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act, including receipt of customary opinions and comfort letters.

(f) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding provisions of this Section 5 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each seller of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act.

(g) Non-Exclusivity. The obligations of the Parties under this Section 5 shall be in addition to any liability which any Party may otherwise have to any other Party.

Registration Expenses. All reasonable fees and expenses incurred in the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company, including (i) all registration and filing fees pertaining to Registrable Securities with respect to filings required to be made with the SEC, all applicable securities exchanges and FINRA, (ii) fees and expenses with respect to compliance with securities or blue sky laws, including any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4(g), (iii) printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing Prospectuses if the printing of Prospectuses is requested by the managing underwriters or by the Holder), (iv) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses of the Company, (v) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company, (vi) expenses of the Company incurred in connection with any road show, (vii) fees and disbursements of all independent registered public accounting firms referred to in Section 4(l) hereof (including the expenses of any “cold comfort” letters required by this Agreement) and any other persons, including special experts retained by the Company and fees and expenses of the transfer agent, and (viii) all other costs, fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance or compliance with this Agreement, shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective; provided, however, in the case of expenses incurred in connection with a proposed Underwritten Shelf Takedown that is not consummated, Holder shall pay such expenses unless the reason such transaction is not consummated is due to the fault of the Company or the action or inaction of Company personnel. In addition, the Company shall pay its internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on any securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and rating agency fees.

The Company shall not be required to pay (i) fees and disbursements of any counsel, accountants or advisors retained by the Holder, any member of the Holder Affiliated Group, or by any underwriter, (ii) any underwriter’s fees (including discounts, commissions or fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals) relating to the distribution of the Registrable Securities, or (iii) any other expenses of the Holder or any member of the Holder Affiliated Group not specifically required to be paid by the Company pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6, and the Holder hereby undertakes to pay or reimburse the Company for any such amounts.

Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of the Holder, make publicly available such information so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144), and it will take such further action as the Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. Upon the reasonable request of the Holder, the Company will deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

8.	Miscellaneous.

(a) Termination. The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) its termination by the written agreement of all Parties or their respective successors in interest, (ii) the date on which all Equity Securities held by Members of the Holder Affiliated Group have ceased to be Registrable Securities, (iii) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, and (iv) the tenth (10^th) anniversary hereof. Nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any liability for any breach of this Agreement. The provisions of Sections 5 and 6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified, and the parties hereto may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by them, only if any such amendment, action or omission to act has received the written consent of the Company and the Holder. No provision of this Agreement may be waived except in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waived provision is sought. Any waiver of a right hereunder does not extend beyond the specific event or circumstance giving rise to the right. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor does any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right or remedy.

(d) Successors, Assigns and Transferees. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns who agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. The rights of members of the Holder Affiliated Group hereunder may be assigned (but only with all related obligations set forth below, and provided that the rights of Tether International Limited in its capacity as the Holder hereunder may not be assigned without the consent of the Company) in connection with a Transfer of Registrable Securities to a Permitted Transferee of such member. Without prejudice to any other or similar conditions imposed hereunder with respect to such assignment, no assignment permitted under the terms of this Section 8(d) will be effective unless and until the Holder has delivered to the Company written notice that such Permitted Transferee has become a member of the Holder Affiliated Group. A Permitted Transferee to whom rights are assigned pursuant to this Section 8(d) may not again assign those rights to any other Permitted Transferee other than as provided in this Section 8(d). The Company may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Holder; provided, however, that the Company may assign this Agreement at any time in connection with a sale or acquisition of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or similar transaction, without the consent of the Holder so long as the successor or acquiring Person agrees in writing to assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(k) Enforcement.

Dear Sirs

Bitdeer Technologies Group (the Company)

We have acted as Cayman Islands counsel to the Company in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3, including all amendments and supplements thereto (the Registration Statement), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended to date (the Act). The Registration Statement relates to the resale or other disposition from time to time of up to 23,587,360 class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0000001 each of the Company (the Class A Shares) beneficially owned by Tether International Limited, consisting of (i) 18,587,360 Class A Shares and (ii) 5,000,000 Class A Shares issuable upon the exercise of a warrant (the Warrant) under the Subscription Agreement and the Warrant Document (each as defined in Schedule 1).

We are furnishing this opinion as Exhibits 5.1 and 23.2 to the Registration Statement.

1	Documents examined

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined originals, copies, or drafts of the documents set forth in Schedule 1. In addition, we have examined the corporate and other documents and conducted the searches listed in Schedule 1. We have not made any searches or enquiries concerning, and have not examined any documents entered into by or affecting the Company or any other person, save for the searches, enquiries and examinations expressly referred to in Schedule 1.

the issue of any Class A Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, and the issue of the Class A Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant pursuant to the Warrant Document at the time of issuance, whether as principal issue or on the conversion, exchange or exercise of any Class A Shares or Warrant, would not result in the Company exceeding its authorised share capital; and upon the issue of any Class A Shares, the Company will receive consideration for the full issue price thereof which shall be equal to at least the par value thereof and that such issuance will be duly registered, and will continue to be registered, in the Company's register of members;

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the headings "Enforceability of Civil Liabilities" and “Legal Matters” of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.

SCHEDULE 2

Qualifications

Good standing

Under the Companies Act (Revised) (Companies Act) of the Cayman Islands, annual returns in respect of the Company must be filed with the Registrar, together with payment of annual filing fees. A failure to file annual returns and pay annual filing fees may result in the Company being struck off the Register of Companies, following which its assets will vest in the Financial Secretary of the Cayman Islands and will be subject to disposition or retention for the benefit of the public of the Cayman Islands.

In good standing means only that as of the date of the Good Standing Certificate the Company is up-to-date with the filing of its annual returns and payment of annual fees with the Registrar. We have made no enquiries into the Company's good standing with respect to any filings or payment of fees, or both, that it may be required to make under the laws of the Cayman Islands other than the Companies Act.

Under the Companies Act, the register of members of a Cayman Islands company is by statute regarded as prima facie evidence of any matters which the Companies Act directs or authorises to be inserted therein. A third party interest in the shares in question would not appear. An entry in the register of members may yield to a court order for rectification (for example, in the event of fraud or manifest error).

Non-assessable

In this opinion, the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the Class A Shares, that a shareholder shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a shareholder, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the Class A Shares by the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstance in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

We are not aware of any Cayman Islands authority as to when the courts would set aside the limited liability of a shareholder in a Cayman Islands company. Our opinion on the subject is based on the Companies Act and English common law authorities, the latter of which are persuasive but not binding in the courts of the Cayman Islands. Under English authorities, circumstances in which a court would attribute personal liability to a shareholder are very limited, and include: (a) such shareholder expressly assuming direct liability (such as a guarantee); (b) the company acting as the agent of such shareholder; (c) the company being incorporated by or at the behest of such shareholder for the purpose of committing or furthering such shareholder’s fraud, or for a sham transaction otherwise carried out by such shareholder. In the absence of these circumstances, we are of the opinion that a Cayman Islands’ court would have no grounds to set aside the limited liability of a shareholder.

6	Our examination of the Register of Writs cannot conclusively reveal whether or not there is:

any current or pending litigation in the Cayman Islands against the Company; or

any application for the winding up or dissolution of the Company or the appointment of any liquidator, trustee in bankruptcy or restructuring officer in respect of the Company or any of its assets,

as notice of these matters might not be entered on the Register of Writs immediately or updated expeditiously or the court file associated with the matter or the matter itself may not be publicly available (for example, due to sealing orders having been made). Furthermore, we have not conducted a search of the summary court. Claims in the summary court are limited to a maximum of CI $20,000.
