Business Overview
AVAX One Technology, Ltd., formerly known as AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd., (“AVAX One” or the “Company”) was incorporated on December 22, 2017 as a private company by filing of Articles of Incorporation in the Province of British Columbia pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company’s registered and records office address is at 800 – 525 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V5Z 1C6. On November 13, 2025, the Company changed its name to AVAX One Technology Ltd. (the defined term the “Company” also includes the recent name change entity to AVAX One Technology Ltd.) and its Nasdaq ticker symbol to AVX.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company commenced operations as a sustainable bitcoin miner, and the Company now owns and operates three Bitcoin mining facilities, one in Alberta, Canada and two in Ohio, for a total of 1,522 BITMAIN Antminer S19j units, 81 BITMAIN Antminer S19k Pro units and 50 BITMAIN Antminer S21 XP units. These facilities are powered by flared natural gas, demonstrating the Company’s promotion of sustainable energy and environmental stewardship.
Transition to AVAX One
On September 22, 2025, the Company entered into subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement” and collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company, subject to the restrictions and upon satisfaction of the conditions in the Subscription Agreements, agreed to sell in one or more private placement transactions exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Offering”), to the Investors Company common shares, no par value per share (in generality, the “Common Shares”, and the aggregate number thereof referenced in this sentence, the “Shares”). The per Share purchase price was $ (the “Share Price”).
On November 5, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), upon the satisfaction of all conditions in the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Transaction closed, and the Company issued to the Investors an aggregate of Common Shares and pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of Common Shares in the PIPE Transaction. The Common Shares were sold at an offering price of $ per Common Share, and the Pre-Funded Warrants were sold at an offering price of $ per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share offering price less the $ per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant.
The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.
Of the aggregate $219.0 million purchase price for the Shares, an aggregate of (i) $145.4 million was paid in cash, the cryptocurrency stablecoin commonly referred to as USDC (“USDC”) based on a purchase price of $ per USDC, and the cryptocurrency stablecoin commonly referred to as USDT (“USDT” and together with USDC, “Stablecoins”) based on a purchase price of $ per USDT, and (ii) $73.7 million was paid in the native cryptocurrency of the Avalanche Network, referred to as AVAX Tokens (“AVAX Tokens”), which was valued for purposes of the Subscription Agreements at the volume-weighted average price of an AVAX Token (rounded to two decimal places) during the 14 consecutive calendar days ending on the Funding Payment Deadline (as defined in the Subscription Agreements) based on midnight UTC, calculated by using the hourly volume and the Messari Price as reported on messari.io (the “Specified AVAX Token Value”).
As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the Common Shares (but not pre funded warrants) issued in the PIPE transaction, there were Common Shares issued and outstanding.
Cohen & Company Securities, LLC acted as the sole placement agent in connection with the Offering.
The Company intends to use up to $10 million of the cash net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes initiated after closing and for pre-existing working capital commitments or obligations, and the remaining cash net proceeds for the acquisition of AVAX Tokens. The AVAX Tokens acquired, together with the remaining net proceeds, will be used for the establishment of the Company’s cryptocurrency treasury operations to the extent consistent with the Company’s investment policy as amended or otherwise modified from time to time. In connection with the announcement of the Offering, the Company announced the launch of its digital asset treasury reserve strategy, which became effective upon the closing of the Offering, pursuant to which the Company plans to use AVAX Tokens as its primary treasury reserve asset on an ongoing basis.
The Company also intends to continue substantive operation of its Bitcoin mining business. The Company’s current management team, consisting of Jolie Kahn, as Chief Executive Officer, and Chris Polimeni, as Chief Financial Officer, will continue in their respective roles with the Company after the closing of the Offering. Furthermore, with the exception of Amy Griffith who is continuing as a director of the Company after closing, all prior directors of the Company resigned on the Closing Date of the Offering and were replaced by the newly appointed directors.
Registration Rights
In the Subscription Agreements, the Company agreed to, among other things, use reasonable best efforts to submit or file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), within 30 calendar days after the closing of the Offering, a registration statement on Form S-3 (or Form S-1 if Form S-3 is not available) (the “Registration Statement”), registering the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined below), and the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after filing and upon the earlier of (i) the twenty-fifth (25th) business day (or sixtieth (60th) business day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the filing date and (ii) the 5th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earlier of (a) the Investors cease to hold any Registrable Securities, (b) the date all Registrable Securities held by the Investors may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, including without any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, and (c) three years from the effective date of the Registration Statement. “Registrable Securities” means the Shares and any Common Shares issued or issuable with respect to the Shares as a result of any stock split or subdivision, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event.
Asset Management Agreement
On September 18, 2025, the Company entered into an Asset Management Agreement (the “Asset Management Agreement”) with Hivemind Capital Partners, LLC (the “Asset Manager”). The Asset Manager shall provide discretionary asset management services with respect to, among other assets (including without limitation certain subsequently raised, received or allocated funds or assets), the Company’s proceeds from the Offering (the “Account Assets”) in connection with any of the Company’s digital asset strategies, in accordance with the terms of the Asset Management Agreement. The custodians under the Asset Management Agreement will consist of cryptocurrency wallet providers agreed to by the Company and the Asset Manager. The Asset Management Agreement will become effective upon closing of the Offering.

The Management Fee will be calculated and payable quarterly in advance, as of the first business day of each calendar quarter. In addition to the Management Fee, the Company will reimburse the Asset Manager for all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Asset Manager in connection with the performance of the Asset Manager’s duties under the Asset Management Agreement.
The Asset Management Agreement will, unless early terminated, continue in effect until the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the Asset Management Agreement) and, unless a party to the agreement elects to not continue the effectiveness of the Asset Management Agreement, will continue for successive five-year renewal periods upon the mutual agreement of the Asset Manager and the Company. The Asset Management Agreement may be terminated at any time for cause (i) by the Company upon at least 30 days prior written notice to the Asset Manager and (ii) by the Asset Manager upon at least 60 days prior written notice to the Company. The Asset Manager may immediately terminate the Asset Management Agreement upon written notice to the Company if the Asset Manager reasonably determines that the continuation of its services or the Asset Management Agreement would result in a violation of any applicable law, regulation, or regulatory guidance.
Strategic Advisor Agreement
On the Closing Date, in connection with the closing of the PIPE Transaction, the Company entered into two Strategic Advisor Agreements (each, a “Strategic Advisor Agreement” and collectively, the “Strategic Advisor Agreements”) with each of Anthony Scaramucci (through Ground Tunnel Capital LLC) and Brett Tejpaul (Messrs. Scaramucci and Tejpaul are collectively referred to as the “Strategic Advisors”), pursuant to which the Company engaged the Strategic Advisors to provide strategic advice and guidance relating to the Company’s business, operations, growth initiatives and industry trends in the digital asset and financial services sector for an initial term of one year, which will automatically renew for up to two successive one year periods unless the respective Strategic Advisor or the Company provides written notice of its intention not to extend. Either the Company or the Strategic Advisor may terminate a Strategic Advisor Agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other party in the event of a material breach that remains uncured at the end of such 30-day period or immediately upon written notice to the other party in the event of willful misconduct, gross negligence, or fraud by such other party or any allegation thereof.
Pursuant to the terms of each Strategic Advisor Agreement, the Company issued to the Strategic Advisors an aggregate of restricted Common Shares (the “Strategic Advisor Shares”). These Shares vest monthly over a period of 36 months in equal increments in the aggregate of 1/36 of the total Strategic Advisor Shares per month, and if the Agreements are terminated at the end of any one year period, any unvested shares will be forfeited. The Strategic Advisor Agreements also contain customary representations and warranties, confidentiality provisions and limitations on liability.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and related financial information of AVAX Technology Ltd. should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 7, 2025. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements contain all adjustments which are necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, or for any future period.
Reverse Stock Split
On July 28, 2025, the Company effected a one-for-nine reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares (the “Reverse Split”). As a result of the Reverse Split, every 9 shares of the Company’s old common shares were converted into one share of the Company’s new common shares. Fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Split were sold at the then prevailing price on the open market, with the proceeds being distributed on a pro-rata basis to the impacted stockholders. The Reverse Split automatically and proportionately adjusted all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common shares, as well as convertible debentures, convertible features, prefunded warrants, stock options and warrants outstanding at the time of the date of the Reverse Split. The exercise price on outstanding equity-based grants was proportionately increased, while the number of shares available under the Company’s equity-based plans was proportionately reduced. Share and per share data (except par value) for the periods presented reflect the effects of the Reverse Split. References to numbers of common shares and per share data in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto for periods ended prior to July 28, 2025 have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split on a retroactive basis.
