After the three-day vacating period, Riot will assume Rhodium&#8217;s 125 MW of power capacity at the Rockdale Facility, resulting in the entire Rockdale Facility power capacity now being utilized by Riot and its subsidiaries. In addition, Riot has acquired ownership of all tangible Rhodium property located at the Rockdale Facility, including all ASIC miners. The Company will evaluate the best use of this additional capacity to maximize shareholder value. Each of Whinstone and Rhodium have also agreed to dismiss all existing litigation, including any appeals, and release any and all future claims not connected to the closing of the Transaction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Transaction marks a significant milestone for Riot as it ends this legacy loss-making contract inherited through the acquisition of Whinstone, expands our available power capacity, adds additional currently operating hash rate, and will lead to reduced related litigation expenses going forward,&#8221; said Jason Les, CEO of Riot.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Transaction Details<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Total Transaction consideration equaled <span class=\"xn-money\">$185.0 million<\/span>, consisting of <span class=\"xn-money\">$129.9 million<\/span> in cash, <span class=\"xn-money\">$6.1 million<\/span> of Rhodium&#8217;s power security deposit returned, and 6,989,800 shares of Riot&#8217;s common stock issued at <span class=\"xn-money\">$7.01<\/span> per share (based on the 10-trading-day volume-weighted average price of Riot shares as of the market close on <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 25, 2025<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About Riot Platforms, Inc. <\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Riot&#8217;s (NASDAQ: RIOT) vision is to be the world&#8217;s leading Bitcoin-driven infrastructure platform.<\/p>\n<p>Our mission is to positively impact the sectors, networks and communities that we touch.
