In an announcement, The9 said it signed a memorandum of understanding to buy the machines with a total hashrate of about 100PH/S. To pay for the machines, The9 said it will issue 8.12 million ordinary shares, equivalent to 270,913 American depositary shares (ADS). Based on the company’s share price of $24.81 prior to signing the MOU, the deal is valued at $6.72 million.

The9 also said it completed the signing of definitive agreements for 12,246 units of bitcoin mining machines with a total hashrate of 288PH/S. Under the terms of these deals, The9 will issue 9,387,840 Class A ordinary shares (equivalent to 312,928 ADS) to the sellers, with a lockup period of six months. If the same ADS price as the earlier agreements were used, these pacts would be valued in total at about $7.76 million.
