Sphere concedes it will no longer seek to impose
any liability for impersonation of its CFO
Sphere’s concession means that Gryphon
is no longer subject to liability on the basis of these allegations
Las Vegas, NV — July 17, 2024 -- Gryphon
Digital Mining, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRYP) (“Gryphon” or the “Company”), a bitcoin mining company that is independently
certified to be 100% renewable and pursuing a negative carbon strategy, is providing an update regarding its ongoing litigation with Sphere
3D.
On June 27, 2024, during a court conference in
the litigation proceedings between Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (“Gryphon”) and Sphere 3D Corp. (“Sphere”) in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Sphere conceded that it was no longer seeking to impose any liability against
Gryphon for events that occurred in early 2023 in which a hostile threat actor impersonated Sphere’s chief financial officer in
an email sent to both Sphere and Gryphon’s personnel and requested the transfer of twenty-six (26) bitcoin from a Sphere wallet
controlled by Gryphon.
As background, Sphere filed an action against
Gryphon on April 7, 2023. Sphere’s claims were, in part, predicated on allegations that Gryphon was responsible for the hostile
threat actor’s conduct in early 2023. After the incident, Gryphon engaged a third-party to perform an independent forensic investigation,
which concluded that Gryphon’s internal security systems were not breached.
Sphere’s concession during the June 27,
2024 court conference means that Gryphon is no longer subject to liability on the basis of these allegations. Gryphon believes that Sphere’s
remaining allegations also lack merit and will vigorously defend against them. Meanwhile, Gryphon continues to aggressively pursue its
own claim against Sphere, which is predicated on Sphere’s flagrant and repeated breaches of the MSA. Gryphon is seeking approximately
$45 million in damages from Sphere for Sphere’s breaches of the MSA. The parties are in the early stages of discovery in this action.
Gryphon is represented by Hogan Lovells attorneys
Dennis H. Tracey, III, Elizabeth C. Carter, and William C. Winter.

of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of

and timing of future events. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release or as of the date they are
