In January 2022, the Company commenced operations of its Bitcoin mining business and is dedicated to becoming a leader in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. The Company has established and plans to continue to grow an enterprise-scale mining operation through the procurement of mining equipment and partnering with experienced service providers.

*Going Concern*

Management has projected that based on our recurring losses, negative cash flows from operating activities, and our hashing rate at June 30, 2025, cash on hand may not be sufficient to allow the Company to continue operations and there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the date of issuance of our financial statements if we are unable to raise additional funding for operations. We expect our working capital needs to increase in the future as we continue to expand and enhance our operations. Included in our working capital is an investment in equity securities that we can liquidate as needed to assist in funding our operations. Our ability to raise additional funds for working capital through equity or debt financings or other sources may depend on the financial success of our business and successful implementation of our key strategic initiatives, financial, economic and market conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We require additional capital and if we are unsuccessful in raising that capital at a reasonable cost and at the required times, or at all, we may not be able to continue our business operations in the cryptocurrency mining industry or we may be unable to advance our growth initiatives, either of which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In an effort to mitigate these risks we expect to take steps to lower our cost of mining and also refresh our mining fleet to increase our mining efficiency.

Significant changes from the Company's current forecasts, including but not limited to: (i) shortfalls from projected mining earning levels; (ii) increases in operating costs; (iii) decreases in the value of cryptocurrency; and (iv) if we do not maintain compliance with the requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") and/or we do not maintain our listing with Nasdaq could have a material adverse impact on the Company's ability to access the level of funding necessary to continue its operations at current levels. These factors, among others, should they occur may result in the Company's inability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the date of issuance of our financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Principles of Consolidation**

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), applied on a basis consistent for all periods. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2025. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been appropriately eliminated in consolidation.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

**Reclassifications**

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. The reclassifications did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

**Foreign Currency Translation**

The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiary, for which the functional currency is the local currency, is translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the consolidated balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted-average exchange rate during the year for revenue, expenses, gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders' equity. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Such transactions resulted in minimal gains and losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

Highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, are classified as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are composed of money market funds. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances and believes credit risk to be minimal.

**Investment in Equity Securities**

The Company's investments are in publicly held equity securities which have readily determinable fair values. These equity investments are recorded at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses recorded in other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

------

**Bitcoin**

Bitcoin is included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets as the Company has the ability to sell it in a highly liquid marketplace, and the sale of Bitcoin is used to fund operating expenses to support operations. Bitcoin is expected to be realized in cash or sold during the Company's normal operating cycle. Bitcoin held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Bitcoin awarded to the Company through its mining activities was included within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The proceeds from the sale of Bitcoin are included within operating or investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows depending on the length of time the Bitcoin is held. Bitcoin is valued at fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of Bitcoin is measured using the period-end closing price from the Company's principal market. When Bitcoin is sold, the gains and losses from such transactions are measured as the difference between the cash proceeds and the carrying basis of the Bitcoin as determined on a first in-first out ("FIFO") basis and are recorded within the same line item, Change in Fair Value of Bitcoin, in the consolidated statements of operations.

**Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment primarily consists of mining equipment and infrastructure and is stated at cost, including purchase price, shipping and custom fees, and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five years to ten years.

The Company reviews the carrying amounts of property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the fair value of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

**Intangible Assets**

For intangible assets purchased in a business combination, the estimated fair values of the assets received are used to establish their recorded values. For intangible assets acquired in a non-monetary exchange, the estimated fair values of the assets transferred (or the estimated fair values of the assets received, if more clearly evident) are used to establish their recorded values. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach are used to measure fair value.

Supplier agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic lives of five years as this method most closely reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets will be consumed.

**Impairment of Intangible Assets**

The Company performs regular reviews of intangible assets to determine if any event has occurred that may indicate that intangible assets with finite useful lives and other long-lived assets are potentially impaired. Triggering events for impairment reviews may be indicators such as adverse industry or economic trends, restructuring actions, lower projections of profitability, or a sustained decline in the Company's market capitalization. Intangible assets are quantitatively assessed for impairment, if necessary, by comparing their estimated fair values to their carrying values. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the difference is recorded as an impairment.

**Revenue Recognition**

The Company accounts for revenue pursuant to ASU 2014-09, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* and all the related amendments ("Topic 606"). Under Topic 606, an entity is required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and contract consideration will be recognized on a "sell-in basis" or when control of the purchased goods or services transfer to the distributor.

------

The Company is engaged with Bitcoin mining pool operators, its customers, to provide a service to perform hash calculations for the mining pool operator, which is the Company's only performance obligation. Providing hash calculation services is an output of the Company's ordinary activities. The Company has a service agreement with Foundry Digital LLC, a cryptocurrency mining pool operator, to provide a service to perform hash calculations. In exchange for providing the service, the Company is entitled to Full Pay Per Share ("FPPS"), which is a fractional share of the fixed Bitcoin award the mining pool operator receives, plus a fractional share of the transaction fees attached to that blockchain less net Bitcoin fees due to the mining pool operator over the measurement period, as applicable. The pay-outs received are based on the expected value from the block reward plus the transaction fee reward, regardless of whether the mining pool operator successfully records a block to the blockchain.

The Company's fractional share is based on a contractual formula, which primarily calculates the hashrate provided to the mining pool as a percentage of total network hashrate and other inputs. The contracts, which are less than 24 hours and continuously renew throughout the day, are terminable at any time by either party without compensation and the Company's enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company starts providing the service to the mining pool operator, which begins daily at midnight Universal Time Coordinated ("UTC"). The terms, conditions, and compensation are at the current market rates, and accordingly the renewal option is not a material right. The contract arises at the point that the Company provides hash calculation services to the mining pool operator, which is the beginning of the contract day at midnight UTC time (contract inception), as customer consumption is in tandem with daily earnings of delivery of the service. According to the customer contract, daily earnings are calculated from midnight-to-23:59:59 UTC time, and the payout is made one hour later at 1:00 AM UTC time.

The Company satisfies its performance obligation over time with daily settlement in Bitcoin. The Company's performance is completed as it transfers the hashrate computations over the continuously renewed contract periods, which are less than 24 hours. The Company has full control of the mining equipment utilized in the mining pool and if the Company determines it will increase or decrease the processing power of its machines and/or fleet (i.e., for repairs or when power costs are excessive) the service provided to the customer will be adjusted.

The transaction consideration the Company receives is noncash consideration in the form of Bitcoin, which the Company measures at fair value at contract inception, midnight UTC time. The noncash consideration is variable, since the amount of block reward earned depends on the amount of hash calculation services, the amount of transaction fees awarded, and operator fees over the same period. The Company does not constrain this variable consideration because it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized from the contract will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved and recognizes the noncash consideration on the same day that control is transferred, which is the same day as contract inception. The fair value used to calculate the noncash consideration is based on the Bitcoin spot price in the Company's principal market at the beginning of the day (midnight UTC time) at contract inception. Expenses associated with running the Bitcoin mining operations, such as hosting, operating supplies, utilities, and monitoring services are recorded as cost of revenues.

**Comprehensive Income (Loss)**

Comprehensive income (loss) and its components encompass all changes in equity other than those arising from transactions with shareholders, including net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments, and is disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

**Concentration Risk**

The Company is subject to credit risk from its cash and cash equivalents and investment in equity securities. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances with two major commercial banks and its equity securities with one other financial institution. Deposits held with the financial institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding the Company's cash, cash equivalents and equity securities to the extent recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The accounts offered by the custodian of the Company's Bitcoin are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

------

The Company has certain customers who individually represented 10% or more of the Company's revenue. Revenue is concentrated with one mining pool operator, Foundry Digital LLC, and all Bitcoin resided with one custodian. In the prior year, the Company also had a service agreement with an additional mining pool operator, Luxor Technology Corporation.

The Company is dependent on a small number of Bitcoin mining equipment suppliers to provide a supply of new generation Bitcoin mining machines. The growth in the Company's business is directly related to increased demand for hosting services and Bitcoin which is dependent in large part on the availability of new generation mining machines offered for sale at a price conducive to profitable Bitcoin mining. As more companies seek to enter the mining industry, the demand for machines may outpace supply and create mining machine equipment shortages. The Company currently does not have an agreement with its suppliers to purchase additional machines, and therefore there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to purchase machines on terms acceptable to it.

**Share-based Compensation**

The Company accounts for share-based awards, and similar equity instruments, granted to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants in accordance with the authoritative guidance for share-based compensation. Share-based compensation award types may include stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") and restricted stock awards ("RSAs"). Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-lined basis over the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) except for options with graded vesting which is recognized pursuant to an accelerated method. Forfeitures are recognized as a reduction in share-based compensation expense as they occur.

**Operating Segment**

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or decision–making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company operates as one operating segment and uses net income or loss as a measure of profit or loss on a consolidated basis in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. Additionally, the Company's CODM regularly reviews the Company's expenses on a consolidated basis. The financial metrics used by the CODM help make key operating decisions, such as determination of capital expenditure purchases and significant acquisitions and allocation of budget between cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM include cost of revenue, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment of property and equipment, and change in fair value of Bitcoin. These expense categories are reported as separate line items in the consolidated statements of operations.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In November 2024, the FASB issued accounting standards update ("ASU") No. 2024-03, *Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*. The guidance is to improve the disclosure of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The new guidance requires a public entity to provide tabular disclosure, on an annual and interim basis, of amounts for the following expense categories: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation and (4) intangible asset amortization, as included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement that contains any of the expense categories noted. The guidance is effective for 2027 annual reporting, and in the first quarter of 2028 for interim reporting, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The Company will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective, in its 2027 annual reporting and each quarter thereafter, on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its disclosures.

------

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,* which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for fiscal year 2025 annual reporting, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The Company will apply the guidance in its 2025 annual reporting, on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its disclosures.

**3. Fair Value Measurements**

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

*Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis*

The Company's financial instruments include cash equivalents, investment in equity securities, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and warrant liabilities. Fair value estimates of these instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information. These estimates may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.

The following tables provide a summary of the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,<br>2025** | **December 31,<br>2024** |
| Common share price | $0.60 | $0.94 |

------

All additions of Bitcoin were generated by the Company's Bitcoin mining operations. All dispositions of Bitcoin were the result of sales on the open market and used to fund the Company's operations. The Company's Bitcoin holdings are not subject to sale restrictions and do not serve as collateral for any agreements. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held no other cryptocurrency.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Note Receivable**

*Rainmaker Promissory Note*

In September 2020, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note with Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (the "Rainmaker Note"), pursuant to which the Company loaned Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. ("Rainmaker") the principal amount of $3.1 million. The Rainmaker Note is secured as a registered lien under the Uniform Commercial Code and the Personal Property Security Act (Ontario) against the assets of Rainmaker and bears interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum. In January 2025, the Company and Rainmaker entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Rainmaker Note and the principal amount was revised to $4.6 million and the due date was extended to January 14, 2026, at which time all principal and accrued interest is due and payable. The Company has the right, at any time, to convert all or any portion of the then outstanding and unpaid Rainmaker Note and interest into shares of Rainmaker common stock at the conversion price as defined in the Rainmaker Note. All amounts related to the Rainmaker Note have been fully reserved in prior periods.

**8. Preferred Shares**

*Series H Preferred Shares*

On October 1, 2021, the Company filed articles of amendment to create a series of preferred shares, being, an unlimited number of Series H Preferred Shares and to provide for the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching thereto. The Series H Preferred Shares are convertible provided (and only if and to the extent) that prior shareholder approval of the issuance of all Sphere 3D common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Shares has been obtained in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, at any time from time to time, at the option of the holder thereof, into 142.857 Sphere 3D common shares for every Series H Preferred Share. Each holder of the Series H Preferred Shares, may, subject to prior shareholder approval, convert all or any part of the Series H Preferred Shares provided that after such conversion the common shares issuable, together with all the common shares held by the shareholder in the aggregate would not exceed 9.99% of the total number of outstanding common shares of the Company. Each Series H Preferred Share has a stated value of $1,000. The Series H Preferred Shares are non-voting and do not accrue dividends. These features include, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, deemed liquidation or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, the Series H Preferred Shares shall entitle each of the holders thereof to receive an amount equal to the Series H subscription price per Series H Preferred Share, as defined in the agreement, to be paid before any amount is paid or any assets of the Company are distributed to the holders of its common shares.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for distinguishing liabilities from equity, the Company has determined that its Series H preferred shares carry certain redemption features beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Series H Preferred Shares are presented as temporary equity. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued nil and 4,043,850 common shares for the conversion of nil and 28,307 Series H Preferred Shares, respectively.

**9. Share Capital**

*At-the-Market Offering Program*

On January 3, 2025, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the "AGP Agreement") with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the "Sales Agent"). In accordance with the terms of the AGP Agreement, the Company may offer and sell from time to time through or to the Sales Agent, as agent or principal, the Company's common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $8.0 million (the "Placement Shares"). The AGP Agreement can be terminated by either party by giving two days written notice.

Neither the Company nor the Sales Agent are obligated to sell any Placement Shares pursuant to the AGP Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the AGP Agreement, the Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of Nasdaq, to sell the Placement Shares from time to time based upon the Company's instructions, including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose. Sales of the Placement Shares, if any, will be made on Nasdaq at market prices by any method permitted by law deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued nil and 210,448 common shares, respectively, for nil and approximately $0.1 million net proceeds, respectively, under the AGP Agreement.

*Pre-Funded Warrants*

On November 19, 2024, Company issued pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrants") to purchase up to 1,875,353 of the Company's common shares. The Pre-Funded Warrants had a purchase price of $1.4199 per share, have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, are exercisable immediately, subject to the beneficial ownership limitations, and will expire when exercised in full. The Pre-Funded Warrants may also be exercised, in whole or in part, by means of cashless exercise pursuant to the terms in the warrant agreement. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of the Company's common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. However, upon notice from the holder to the Company as described in the 2024 Purchase Agreement, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation, which may not exceed 9.99% of the number of the Company's common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,087,000 and 1,594,000 common shares were exercised. There are no Pre-Funded Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2025. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there was no other warrant activity.

Unlimited authorized shares of common shares at no par value are available to the Company. At June 30, 2025, the Company had the following outstanding warrants to purchase common shares:

**10. Equity Incentive Plan**

In May 2025, the shareholders approved the adoption of the Company's 2025 Performance Incentive Plan ("2025 Plan"), initially authorizing the award of up to approximately 4.5 million common shares pursuant to the 2025 Plan. In addition, the share limit will automatically increase on the first trading day in January of each calendar year during the term of the 2025 Plan by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 10% of the total number of common shares issued and outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, or (ii) such number of common shares as may be established by the Board. The 2025 Plan authorizes the board of directors to grant stock and options awards to directors, employees and consultants.

*Stock Options*

The fair value of option awards are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility was based on historical volatility of the Company's common shares. The expected term of options granted was based on the simplified formula. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. The dividend yield assumption was based on the expectation of no future dividend payments. Option awards can be granted for a maximum term of up to 10 years. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months<br>Ended June 30,** | **Three Months<br>Ended June 30,** | **Six Months<br>Ended June 30,** | **Six Months<br>Ended June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Expected volatility | 148.0% | 126.1% | 148.0% | 124.3-126.1% |
| Expected term (in years) | 3.5 | 3.5 | 3.5 | 3.5 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.0% | 4.6% | 4.0% | 4.1-4.6% |

**11. Net Income (Loss) per Share**

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to common share equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. Common share purchase warrants, preferred shares issued and outstanding, and options and RSUs outstanding are considered common share equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share when net income is reported and their effect is dilutive.

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

**Overview**

In January 2022, we commenced operations of our Bitcoin mining business and are dedicated to becoming a leader in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. We have established and continue to grow an enterprise-scale mining operation through the procurement of mining equipment and partnering with experienced service providers.

------

We obtain Bitcoin as a result of our mining operations, and when necessary we sell Bitcoin to support our operations and strategic growth. We mine Bitcoin in Missouri, Texas and Iowa, which these states do not have any material state-specific regulatory restrictions on the mining of Bitcoin. However, it is possible that these states or other states in which we may seek to operate may create laws that would impede Bitcoin mining. We do not currently plan to engage in regular trading of Bitcoin other than sales to convert our Bitcoin into U.S. dollars. Decisions to hold or sell our Bitcoin is currently determined by management by analyzing forecasts and monitoring the market in real time. We have a hybrid treasury strategy to hold Bitcoin when possible, and sell to fund working capital requirements.

A key component of the Bitcoin mining business segment is to acquire highly specialized computer servers (known in the industry as "miners"), which operate application-specific integrated circuit ("ASIC") chips designed specifically to mine Bitcoin, and deploy such miners at-scale utilizing our hosting agreements. ASIC miners are the most effective and energy-efficient machines available today, and we believe deploying them at-scale, will enable us to continue growing our hashrate and optimize the output and longevity of our miners as they are deployed.

Our Bitcoin mining operation is focused on maximizing our ability to successfully mine Bitcoin by growing our hashrate (the amount of computer power we devote to supporting the Bitcoin blockchain), to increase our chances of successfully creating new blocks on the Bitcoin blockchain (a process known as "proof of work"). Generally, the greater share of the Bitcoin blockchain's total network hashrate (the aggregate hashrate deployed to solving a block on the Bitcoin blockchain) a miner's hashrate represents, the greater that miner's chances of solving a block and, therefore, earning the block reward. As the proliferation of Bitcoin continues and the market price for Bitcoin increases, we expect additional miner operators to enter the market in response to an increased demand for Bitcoin which we anticipate to follow increased Bitcoin prices. As these new miner operators enter the market and as increasingly powerful miners are deployed in an attempt to solve a block, the Bitcoin blockchain's network hashrate grows, meaning an existing miner must increase its hashrate at pace commensurate with the growth of network hashrate to maintain its relative chance of solving a block and earning a block reward. As we expect this trend to continue, we will need to continue growing our hashrate to compete in our dynamic and highly competitive industry.

As of June 30, 2025, we owned approximately 13,000 miners, of which approximately 5,600 were in service, and a total hashrate capacity of 0.73 exahash per second ("EH/s"). We are strategizing for our future growth by refreshing a significant portion of our fleet with newer-generation machines to bolster efficiency, and starting from March 2025, we have a self-owned 8 megawatt ("MW") facility in Iowa. Vertically integrating with self-owned facilities, such as the Iowa site, allows us to reduce our reliance on third-parties and decrease our overall cost to mine a Bitcoin. As a result of our strategic changes, during the latter part of 2024 and ongoing, mining production has decreased as we focused on our long-term strategic goals of transitioning to lower-cost hosting sites, vertically integrating to own our own sites, and refreshing our fleet with newer-generation machines

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we mined 61.3 Bitcoin, which represented a decrease of 13.4% over the 70.8 Bitcoin we mined in the last six months of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the April 2024 halving event, and our transition to lower-cost hosting sites and refreshing our fleet with newer-generation machines. Based on our existing operations and expected deployment of miners we have purchased, we anticipate continuing to increase exahash throughout 2025. We do not have scheduled downtime for our miners. We periodically perform both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on our miners. Depending on the type of repair, the miner may run at a reduced speed or be taken offline. We use multiple software programs to monitor the performance of our machines. The miners owned as of June 30, 2025 have an average efficiency (joules per terahash – "J/th") of 26.4 J/th. The miner efficiency is an indication of how efficiently we can earn Bitcoin and minimize cost to run the miner. Currently, we intend only to mine Bitcoin and we hold no other cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin.

As of June 30, 2025, we held approximately 20.5 Bitcoin. The fair value of our Bitcoin as of June 30, 2025 was approximately $2.2 million on our consolidated balance sheet.

------

*Mining Pools*

A mining pool is a service operated by a mining pool operator that pools the resources of individual miners to share their processing power over a network. Mining pools emerged in response to the growing difficulty and network hash rate competing for Bitcoin rewards on the Bitcoin blockchain as a way of lowering costs and reducing the risk of an individual miner's mining activities. The mining pool operator coordinates the computing power of the independent mining enterprises participating in the mining pool. Mining pools are subject to various risks such as disruption and down time. In the event that a pool we utilize experiences down time or is not yielding returns, our results may be impacted.

We are engaged with a Bitcoin mining pool operator as our customer, to provide a service to perform hash calculations for the mining pool operator, which is our only performance obligation. Providing hash calculation services is an output of our ordinary activities. We have a service agreement with Foundry Digital LLC, a mining pool operator, to provide a service to perform hash calculations. In exchange for providing the service, we are entitled to Full Pay Per Share ("FPPS"), which is a fractional share of the fixed Bitcoin award the mining pool operator receives, plus a fractional share of the transaction fees attached to that blockchain less net Bitcoin fees due to the mining pool operator over the measurement period, as applicable. The pay-outs received are based on the expected value from the block reward plus the transaction fee reward, regardless of whether the mining pool operator successfully records a block to the blockchain. In the prior year, we also had a service agreement with an additional mining pool operator, Luxor Technology Corporation.

Our fractional share is based on a contractual formula, which primarily calculates the hashrate provided to the mining pool as a percentage of total network hashrate and other inputs. The contracts, which are less than 24 hours and continuously renew throughout the day, are terminable at any time by either party without compensation and our enforceable right to compensation only begins when we start providing the service to the mining pool operator, which begins daily at midnight Universal Time Coordinated ("UTC"). The terms, conditions, and compensation are at the current market rates, and accordingly the renewal option is not a material right. The contract arises at the point that we provide hash calculation services to the mining pool operator, which is the beginning of the contract day at midnight UTC time (contract inception), as customer consumption is in tandem with daily earnings of delivery of the service. According to the customer contract, daily earnings are calculated from midnight-to-23:59:59 UTC time, and the payout is made one hour later at 1:00 AM UTC time.

For the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, we had revenues of $3.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The $1.7 million decrease in revenue is primarily due to the April 2024 halving event, and the process of removing our older mining equipment and replacing them with newer generation machines. The refreshing of our mining equipment is expected to be an ongoing process through 2025 which may result in further fluctuations in exahash. During the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, all of our revenue was derived from Bitcoin mining.

***Operating Expenses***

*Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense)*

For the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, direct cost of revenues were $2.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The $1.7 million decrease in cost of revenue was primarily due to lower hosting fees related to machines taken offline to be relocated and the transition of removing older mining machines and replacing them with newer generation machines.

------

*General and Administrative Expense*

General and administrative expenses were $2.1 million and $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024. The decrease of $0.9 million was due to a decrease of $0.5 million in share-based compensation primarily related to forfeited awards, a decrease of $0.4 million in legal fees related to resolved litigation, a $0.2 million decrease in director fees, and a $0.1 million decrease in insurance and property tax expenses. These decreases were offset by an increase of $0.3 million in costs related to strategic business growth efforts.

*Depreciation and Amortization Expense*

Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.7 million and $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of $0.1 million was primarily due to less depreciation related to our Bitcoin mining machines due to the disposal of machines.

*Impairment of Property and Equipment*

Impairment of property and equipment was nil and $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the prior year related to idle mining equipment not expected to return to use.

*Loss on Disposal of Property and Equipment*

Loss on disposal of property and equipment was $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and related to the disposal of or sale of mining equipment.

*Change in Fair Value of Bitcoin*

Change in fair value of Bitcoin was a gain of $0.5 million and a loss of $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The gain or loss was the change in fair value of Bitcoin held, as well as the gains and losses from when Bitcoin was sold.

***Non-Operating Income and Expenses***

*Investment Gain*

Investment gain was $4.3 million and $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and related to realized and unrealized gains on our equity investment in Core Scientific Inc.

***The First Six Months of 2025 Compared with the First Six Months of 2024***

***Revenue***

We generated revenues of $5.8 million and $11.6 million during the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $5.8 million decrease in revenue is primarily due to the April 2024 halving event, and the process of removing our older mining equipment and replacing them with newer generation machines. The refreshing of our mining equipment is expected to be an ongoing process through 2025 which may result in further fluctuations in exahash. During the first six months of 2025 and 2024, all of our revenue was derived from Bitcoin mining.

***Operating Expenses***

*Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense)*

Direct cost of revenues during the first six months of 2025 and 2024 were $4.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, representing a decrease of $3.8 million was primarily due to lower hosting fees related to machines taken offline to be relocated and the transition of removing older mining machines and replacing them with newer generation machines.

------

*General and Administrative Expense*

General and administrative expenses were $5.3 million and $6.4 million for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of $1.1 million was primarily due to a decrease of $1.5 million in share-based compensation primarily related to forfeited awards, a decrease of $0.4 million in employee and related expenses primarily related to a decrease in headcount, a $0.3 million decrease in insurance and property tax expenses, and a $0.2 million decrease in director fees. These decreases were offset by an increase of $0.8 million in costs related to strategic business growth efforts and an increase in legal fees of $0.4 million related to the Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. litigation.

*Depreciation and Amortization Expense*

Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.3 million and $3.6 million for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of $0.3 million was primarily due to less depreciation related to our Bitcoin mining machines due to the disposal of machines.

*Impairment of Property and Equipment*

Impairment of property and equipment was nil and $0.9 million for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the prior year related to idle mining equipment not expected to return to use.

*Loss on Disposal of Property and Equipment*

Loss on disposal of property and equipment was $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and primarily related to the sale of mining equipment.

*Change in Fair Value of Bitcoin*

Change in fair value of Bitcoin was $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The gain in the first six months of 2025 and 2024 was the change in fair value of Bitcoin held, as well as the gains and losses from when Bitcoin was sold.

***Non-Operating Income and Expenses***

*Investment Gain*

Investment gain was $0.7 million and $5.1 million for the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and related to realized and unrealized gains on our equity investment in Core Scientific Inc.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale equity securities. We expect to fund our operations going forward with existing cash resources, anticipated revenue from our Bitcoin mining operation, and cash that we may raise through future financing transactions. At June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $5.4 million at December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we had working capital of $9.6 million, reflecting a decrease of $4.3 million since December 31, 2024 primarily related to sales of our available-for-sale equity securities. Cash management continues to be a priority and we are phasing out high-cost hosting contracts, leveraging our access to capital, and reducing our overall mining costs.

*At-the-Market Offering Program.* On January 3, 2025, we entered into a sales agreement (the "AGP Agreement") with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the "Sales Agent"). In accordance with the terms of the AGP Agreement, we may offer and sell from time to time through or to the Sales Agent, as agent or principal, the Company's common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $8.0 million (the "Placement Shares"). The AGP Agreement can be terminated by either party by giving two days written notice. We expect that any proceeds received from the facility will be used primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes and in furtherance of our corporate strategy which may include to accelerate efficiency, for the purchase/upgrade of the Company's mining fleet, and vertical integration of infrastructure.

------

Neither us nor the Sales Agent are obligated to sell any Placement Shares pursuant to the AGP Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the AGP Agreement, the Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq"), to sell the Placement Shares from time to time based upon our instructions, including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions we may impose. Sales of the Placement Shares, if any, will be made on Nasdaq at market prices by any method permitted by law deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued nil and 210,448 common shares, respectively, for nil and $0.1 million, respectively, of net proceeds under the AGP Agreement.

Management has projected that based on our recurring losses, negative cash flows from operating activities, and our hashing rate at June 30, 2025, cash on hand may not be sufficient to allow us to continue operations and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the date of issuance of our financial statements if we are unable to raise additional funding for operations. We expect our working capital needs to increase in the future as we continue to expand and enhance our operations. Included in our working capital is an investment in equity securities that we can liquidate as needed to assist in funding our operations. Our ability to raise additional funds for working capital through equity or debt financings or other sources may depend on the financial success of our business and successful implementation of our key strategic initiatives, financial, economic and market conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We require additional capital and if we are unsuccessful in raising that capital at a reasonable cost and at the required times, or at all, we may not be able to continue our business operations in the cryptocurrency mining industry or we may be unable to advance our growth initiatives, either of which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In an effort to mitigate these risks we expect to take steps to lower our cost of mining and also refresh our mining fleet to increase our mining efficiency.

Significant changes from our current forecasts, including but not limited to: (i) shortfalls from projected mining earning levels; (ii) increases in operating costs; (iii) decreases in the value of cryptocurrency; and (iv) if we do not maintain compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq and/or we do not maintain our listing with Nasdaq could have a material adverse impact on our ability to access the level of funding necessary to continue its operations at current levels. These factors, among others, should they occur may result in our inability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the date of issuance of our financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The following table shows a summary of our cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Six Months<br>Ended June 30,** | **Six Months<br>Ended June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Net cash used in operating activities | $(9928) | $(3354) |
| Net cash provided by investing activities | $9098 | $7031 |
| Net cash provided by financing activities | $108 | $— |

---

*Net cash used in operating activities*. The use of cash during the first six months of 2025 was primarily a result of our net loss of $7.1 million, offset by $3.6 million in non-cash items, which primarily included a realized gain on sale of investment in equity securities, unrealized loss on investment in equity securities, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment, and change in fair value of Bitcoin.

------

*Net cash provided by investing activities.* During the first six months of 2025, we received $5.3 million from proceeds from the sale of Bitcoin, $4.8 million from proceeds from the sale of investment in equity securities, and $0.2 million for the sale of 950 miners originally included in mining equipment, offset by $1.2 million of payments for the purchase of property and equipment consisting of infrastructure for our Iowa mining site completed in 2025. During the first six months of 2024, we received $5.5 million from proceeds from the sale of investment in equity securities and $1.5 million from proceeds from the sale of Bitcoin.

*Net cash provided by financing activities.* For the first six months of 2025, we received $0.1 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common shares through our AGP Agreement.

We review our estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

**SPHERE 3D CORP.<br>2025 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN**

**TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION** 

**1.<u>Vesting; Limits on Exercise; Incentive Stock Option Status</u>.**

The Option shall vest and become exercisable in percentage installments of the aggregate number of shares subject to the Option as set forth on the cover page of this Option Agreement. The Option may be exercised only to the extent the Option is vested and exercisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Cumulative Exercisability</u>. To the extent that the Option is vested and exercisable, the Grantee has the right to exercise the Option (to the extent not previously exercised), and such right shall continue, until the expiration or earlier termination of the Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>No Fractional Shares</u>. Fractional share interests shall be disregarded, but may be cumulated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>Minimum Exercise</u>. No fewer than 100 Common Shares (subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan) may be purchased at any one time, unless the number purchased is the total number at the time exercisable under the Option.

**2.<u>Continuance of Employment/Service Required; No Employment/Service Commitment</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as expressly provided in Section 4 below, the vesting schedule applicable to the Option requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Option and the rights and benefits under this Option Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 4 below or under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing contained in this Option Agreement or the Plan constitutes a continued employment or service commitment by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, affects the Grantee's status, if he or she is an employee, as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Grantee any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment or service, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to increase or decrease the Grantee's other compensation. Nothing in this Option Agreement, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Grantee without his/her consent thereto.

**3.<u>Method of Exercise of Option</u>.**

The Option shall be exercisable by the delivery to the Secretary of the Corporation (or such other person as the Administrator may require pursuant to such administrative exercise procedures as the Administrator may implement from time to time) of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a written notice stating the number of Common Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Option or by the completion of such other administrative exercise procedures as the Administrator may require from time to time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment in full for the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased in cash, check or by electronic funds transfer to the Corporation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any written statements or agreements required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• satisfaction of the tax withholding provisions of Section 6 of this Option Agreement.

The Administrator also may, but is not required to, authorize a non-cash payment alternative by one or more of the following methods (subject in each case to compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and listing requirements and further subject to such rules as the Administrator may adopt as to any such payment method):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in Common Shares already owned by the Grantee, valued at their fair market value (as determined under the Plan) on the exercise date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a reduction in the number of Common Shares otherwise deliverable to the Grantee (valued at their fair market value on the exercise date, as determined under the Plan) pursuant to the exercise of the Option; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a "cashless exercise" with a third party who provides simultaneous financing for the purposes of (or who otherwise facilitates) the exercise of the Option.

**4.<u>Early Termination of Option; Possible Acceleration of Option</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.1Expiration Date**. Subject to earlier termination as provided below in this Section 4, the Option will terminate on the "Expiration Date" set forth in the cover page of this Option Agreement (the "**Expiration Date**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.2Possible Termination of Option upon Certain Corporate Events.** The Option is subject to termination in connection with certain corporate events as provided in Section 7.2 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.3Termination of Option upon a Termination of Grantee's Employment or Services.** Subject to earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or pursuant to Section 4.2 above, if the Grantee ceases to be employed by or ceases to provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, the following rules shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other than as expressly provided below in this Section 4.3, (a) the Grantee will have until the date that is 3 months after his or her Termination Date (as defined below) to exercise the Option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it was vested on the Termination Date (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting that may apply pursuant to Section 4.4), (b) the Option, to the extent not vested on the Termination Date, shall terminate on the Termination Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 3-month period following the Termination Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 3-month period; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the termination of the Grantee's employment or services is the result of the Grantee's death or Disability (as defined below), (a) the Grantee (or his beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be) will have until the date that is 12 months after the Grantee's Termination Date to exercise the Option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it was vested on the Termination Date, (b) the Option, to the extent not vested on the Termination Date, shall terminate on the Termination Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 12-month period following the Termination Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 12-month period.

In all events the Option is subject to earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or as contemplated by Section 4.2. The Administrator shall be the sole judge of whether the Grantee continues to render employment or services for purposes of this Option Agreement.

For purposes hereof, "**Disability**" has the meaning given to such term (or a similar term) in any employment agreement between the Grantee and the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the Award Date or, if there is no such agreement (or such agreement does not include a definition of such term), shall mean the Grantee (as determined solely by the Administrator on the basis of such medical evidence as the Administrator deems warranted under the circumstances) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months.

Standard NQ Stock Option Agreement

------

For purposes hereof, "**Termination Date**" means the Grantee's last day of actual and active employment or service with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. For greater certainty, no period of notice of termination, if any, or payment in lieu of notice that is given or ought to have been given pursuant to the Grantee's applicable employment agreement, contract for service or at law that follows or is in respect of a period after the last date of actual and active employment will be considered as extending Grantee's period of employment or services for purposes of determining the Grantee's entitlement under the Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.4Employment Agreement**. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option is subject to any rights to accelerated vesting the Grantee may have under any employment, severance, retention or similar agreement with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries in effect on the Award Date.

**5.<u>Non-Transferability</u>**.

The Option and any other rights of the Grantee under this Option Agreement or the Plan are nontransferable and exercisable only by the Grantee, except as set forth in Section 5.7 of the Plan.

**6.<u>Tax Withholding</u>**.

Upon any exercise or payment of the Option, or upon any other tax withholding event with respect to the Option, arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation shall be made to provide for any taxes the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold with respect to such event or payment as provided in Section 8.5 of the Plan. With the Corporation's consent and subject to the Corporation's compliance with all applicable laws, these arrangements may include (a) withholding Common Shares that otherwise would be issued to the Grantee pursuant to the Option, (b) surrendering Common Shares that the Grantee previously acquired or (c) an irrevocable arrangement (on terms reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) with a third-party broker to use the proceeds of a sale of Common Shares on the market to provide for such tax withholding. In the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, the fair market value of these shares (as determined under the Plan as of the date when taxes otherwise would have been withheld in cash), will be applied to the withholding taxes.

**7.<u>No Shareholder Rights</u>**.

The Grantee shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights and no voting rights, with respect to the Option and any Common Shares underlying or issuable in respect of the Option until such time as the Option is exercised and such Common Shares are actually issued to and held of record by the Grantee. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of such shares.

**8.<u>Notices</u>.**

Any notice to be given under the terms of this Option Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Grantee at the address last reflected on the Corporation's payroll records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Grantee is no longer employed by the Corporation or a Subsidiary, shall be deemed to have been duly given five business days after the date mailed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.

**9.<u>Plan</u>.**

The Option and all rights of the Grantee under this Option Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan (including, for greater certainty and to the extent applicable, the Canadian Residents Addendum to the Plan), incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall control. The Grantee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement. The Grantee acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan, and this Option Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Option Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not and shall not be deemed to create any rights in the Grantee unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or

are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan <u>after</u> the date hereof.

**10.<u>Entire Agreement</u>.**

This Option Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan and this Option Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Grantee hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof.

**11.<u>Governing Law</u>.**

This Option Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.

**12.<u>Effect of this Agreement</u>.**

Subject to the Corporation's right to terminate the Option pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Plan, this Option Agreement shall be assumed by, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors to the Corporation.

**13.<u>Counterparts</u>.**

This Option Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

**14.<u>Section Headings</u>.**

The section headings of this Option Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.

**15.<u>Language</u>**.

The parties hereto have agreed that this Option Agreement and the Plan be drafted in English. Les parties aux présentes ont convenu que le présent document et les règles du régime soient rédigés en anglais.

**16.<u>No Advice Regarding Grant</u>.** 

The Grantee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own tax, legal and/or investment advisors with respect to any advice the Grantee may determine is needed or appropriate with respect to the Option (including, without limitation, to determine the foreign, state, local, estate and/or gift tax consequences with respect to the Option and any shares that may be acquired upon exercise of the Option). Neither the Corporation nor any of its officers, directors, affiliates or advisors makes any representation (except for the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Option Agreement) or recommendation with respect to the Option. Except for the withholding rights contemplated by Sections 3 and 6 above and Section 8.5 of the Plan, the Grantee is solely responsible for any and all tax and other liability that may arise with respect to the Option and any shares that may be acquired upon exercise of the Option (including any sale of such shares).

**17.<u>Insider Trading Rules</u>.**

The Grantee hereby acknowledges being subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as Corporation policies, regarding insider trading.

**RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT**

**THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT** (this "**Agreement**") dated [DATE] by and between Sphere 3D Corp., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario (the "**Corporation**"), and [NAME] (the "**Grantee**") evidences the award (the "**Award**") granted by the Corporation to the Grantee as to the number of the Corporation's stock units ("**Stock Units**") first set forth below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Number of Stock Units**:<sup>1</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Award Date:** <br>**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Vesting Date</u>**<sup>1</sup> The Stock Units subject to the Award will vest as follows: <sup>1</sup><br>

The Award is granted under the Sphere 3D Corp. 2025 Performance Incentive Plan (including the Canadian Residents Addendum thereto, if applicable), as amended from time to time (the "**Plan**"), and subject to the Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Units (the "**Terms**") attached to this Agreement (incorporated herein by this reference) and to the Plan. The Award has been granted to the Grantee in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other form of compensation otherwise payable or to be paid to the Grantee. Capitalized terms are defined in the Plan if not defined herein. The parties agree to the terms of the Award set forth herein. The Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Terms, the Plan and the Prospectus for the Plan.

As used herein, the term "**stock unit**" means a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding Common Share of the Corporation (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement. The Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Grantee if such Stock Units vest pursuant to the terms hereof. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind.

**SPHERE 3D CORP.<br>2025 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN**

**TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.<u>Vesting</u>**. Subject to Section 6 below, the Award shall vest and become nonforfeitable as set forth on the cover page of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.<u>Continuance of Employment/Service</u>**. The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 6 below or under the Plan.

Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes an employment or service commitment by the Corporation, affects the Grantee's status as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Grantee any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time to terminate such employment or services, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to increase or decrease the Grantee's other compensation or benefits. Nothing in this Agreement, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Grantee without his or her consent thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.<u>No Dividend and Voting Rights</u>**. The Grantee shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights and no voting rights, with respect to the Stock Units and any Common Shares underlying or issuable in respect of such Stock Units until such Common Shares are actually issued to and held of record by the Grantee. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of such shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.<u>Restrictions on Transfer</u>**. Except as provided in Section 5.7 of the Plan, neither the Award, nor any interest therein or amount or shares payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to (a) transfers to the Corporation, or (b) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.<u>Timing and Manner of Payment of Stock Units</u>**. Each Stock Unit that becomes vested pursuant to the terms hereof (the date of such vesting, the "**Vesting Date**" of such Stock Unit) will be paid on or as soon as practicable after the Vesting Date (and in all events within two and one-half months following the Vesting Date). In payment of the Stock Units, the Corporation shall deliver to the Grantee a number of Common Shares (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Corporation in its discretion, and such shares to be issued from treasury if and to the extent required by the Canadian Residents Addendum to the Plan) equal to the number of Stock Units subject to this Award that vest on the applicable Vesting Date, unless such Stock Units terminate prior to the given Vesting Date pursuant to Section 6. The Corporation's obligation to deliver Common Shares or otherwise make payment with respect to vested Stock Units is subject to the condition precedent that the Grantee or other person entitled under the Plan to receive any shares with respect to the vested Stock Units deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan. The Grantee shall have no further rights with respect to any Stock Units that are paid or that terminate pursuant to Section 6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1

Standard RSU Agreement

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.<u>Effect of Termination of Employment or Service.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>General</u>. Except as provided in Section 6(b) below, the Grantee's Stock Units shall terminate to the extent such units have not become vested prior to the Grantee's Termination Date (as defined below), regardless of the reason for the termination of the Grantee's employment or service with the Corporation or a Subsidiary, whether with or without cause, voluntarily or involuntarily. If any unvested Stock Units are terminated hereunder, such Stock Units shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the Termination Date without payment of any consideration by the Corporation and without any other action by the Grantee, or the Grantee's beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be. For these purposes, "Termination Date" means the Grantee's last day of actual and active employment or service with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. For greater certainty, no period of notice of termination, if any, or payment in lieu of notice that is given or ought to have been given pursuant to the Grantee's applicable employment agreement, contract for service or at law that follows or is in respect of a period after the last date of actual and active employment will be considered as extending Grantee's period of employment or services for purposes of determining the Grantee's entitlement under the Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee's Stock Units are subject to any rights to accelerated vesting the Grantee may have under any employment, severance, retention or similar agreement with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries in effect on the Award Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.<u>Adjustments Upon Specified Events</u>**. Upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Corporation's stock contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such stock), the Administrator shall make adjustments in accordance with such section in the number of Stock Units then outstanding and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.<u>Tax Withholding</u>**. The Corporation shall reasonably determine the amount of any federal, state, local or other income, employment, or other taxes which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries may reasonably be obligated to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting or other event with respect to the Stock Units. If such withholding event occurs in connection with the distribution of Common Shares in respect of the Stock Units and subject to compliance with all applicable laws, the Grantee hereby agrees that the appropriate number of whole shares, valued at their then fair market value (with the "fair market value" of such shares determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan), to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such distribution at the minimum applicable withholding rates (such number of shares, the "**Minimum Withholding Shares**") shall, at the election of the Corporation, automatically be (i) withheld from the shares that otherwise would be issued to Grantee when the units are settled or (ii) sold by or on behalf of the Grantee on the open market and the proceeds of such sale shall be promptly remitted to the Corporation to satisfy such tax withholding obligations. In the event the Grantee has (prior to the applicable Vesting Date) entered into an irrevocable arrangement (on terms reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) with a third-party broker to use the proceeds of a sale of Common Shares on the market to provide for tax withholding in connection with any payment of the Stock Units and has provided the terms of such arrangement to the Corporation (a "**Broker Arrangement**"), the Grantee and the Corporation agree that, at the time of such payment of the Stock Units, the Corporation will deliver to the Grantee's designated broker a number of whole Common Shares equal to the Minimum Withholding Shares. If there is no such Broker Arrangement in place on the applicable Vesting Date, such sale of the Minimum Withholding Shares shall be conducted through a broker designated by the Corporation. The Grantee shall execute such documents as may reasonably be requested by the Corporation or the broker, as applicable, in order to implement such transactions and shall otherwise comply with the administrative rules and procedures established by the Corporation with respect to such transactions. If, however, any withholding event occurs with respect to the Stock Units other than in connection with the distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Units, or if the Corporation's withholding obligations cannot be satisfied by such market sale or such withholding and reacquisition of shares as described above because such a sale, withholding or reacquisition, as the case may be, would cause the Corporation to violate applicable law, the Corporation shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Grantee and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Grantee the amount of any such withholding obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.<u>Notices</u>**. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Grantee at the Grantee's last address reflected on the Corporation's records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Grantee is no longer an employee of or in service to the Corporation, shall be deemed to have been duly given by the Corporation when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.<u>Plan</u>**. The Award and all rights of the Grantee under this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions of the Plan (including, for greater certainty and to the extent applicable, the Canadian Residents Addendum to the Plan), incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall control. The Grantee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan, and this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Grantee unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan <u>after</u> the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.<u>Entire Agreement; Amendment</u>**. This Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan and this Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan. Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Grantee hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may, without the consent of the Grantee, amend the tax-withholding procedures set forth in Section 8 above to provide that the Corporation's tax withholding obligations in connection with a distribution of Common Shares in respect of the Stock Units shall be satisfied by the Corporation reducing the number of Common Shares subject to such distribution by the number of the Minimum Withholding Shares (as opposed to a market sale of such shares); provided, however, that if the Corporation adopts such an amendment of the procedures set forth in Section 8, such procedures shall not be further amended within the one-year period thereafter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.<u>Limitation on Grantee's Rights</u>.** Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Grantee shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Stock Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to Stock Units, as and when payable hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.<u>Counterparts</u>**. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.<u>Section Headings</u>**. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.<u>Governing Law</u>**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.<u>Construction</u>**. It is intended that the terms of the Award will not result in the imposition of any tax liability pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. The Award is intended as a "short-term deferral" under Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**17.<u>Language</u>**. The parties hereto have agreed that this Agreement and the Plan be drafted in English. Les parties aux présentes ont convenu que le présent document et les règles du régime soient rédigés en anglais.

Neither the Corporation nor any of its officers, directors, affiliates or advisors makes any representation (except for the terms and conditions expressly set forth in this Award Agreement) or recommendation with respect to the Award.
