 its name to “Sphere 3D Mining Corporation” or any derivation thereof as may be determined by the Board, if appropriate, and acceptable to the applicable regulatory authorities. Shareholders are being asked to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to pass a special resolution (the “

#### Name Change
”) to authorize an amendment to the articles of the Company to change its name to “Sphere 3D Mining Corporation” or any derivation thereof as may be determined by the Board, if appropriate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated in the text of the Name Change resolution, the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that the Company not proceed with the proposed name change.

The Board believes that it may be beneficial to change its name to “Sphere 3D Mining Corporation” or any derivation thereof to better reflect the Company’s current core business as a cryptocurrency miner.

#### Procedure for Effecting the Name Change
Following a determination by the Board to implement the Name Change, the Company will file an amendment to the articles of the Company under the Ontario Business Corporations Act (OBCA). The Name Change will become effective on the date shown in the amendment to the articles, provided that, if the Board determines to implement the Name Change, in any event, such date will be prior to December 31, 2026.

#### Effect on Shareholders
The Name Change will not affect in any way the validity or transferability of stock certificates outstanding at the time of the Name Change, our capital structure, or the trading of our common shares on the Nasdaq. Following implementation of the Name Change, shareholders may continue to hold their existing certificates or receive new certificates reflecting the Name Change by delivering their existing certificates to the Company’s transfer agent. Shareholders should not destroy any stock certificates and should not deliver any stock certificates to the transfer agent until after the effectiveness of the Name Change.

The Company’s common shares are currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “ANY.” If the Name Change is approved by the Company’s shareholders and the Board determines to implement the Name Change, the Company’s management may decide to seek to amend the trading symbol of the Company from “ANY” to another symbol closer to the new name of the Company; provided, however, that the Company does not currently intend to change the trading symbol of the Company’s common shares.

After the effectiveness of the articles of amendment, the common shares would have a new CUSIP number, which is a number used to identify the Company’s equity securities. A new
