Recommendation Highlights Compelling Strategic Rationale for U.S. Redomiciliation

 

Board of Directors Encourages Shareholders to Vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution Today

 

TORONTO, Ontario and NEW YORK, March 5, 2026 -- Bitfarms Ltd. (NASDAQ/TSX: BITF) (“Bitfarms” or the “Company”), a North American digital infrastructure and energy company, today announced that the leading independent proxy advisory firms, including Institutional Shareholder Services Inc.

In its report, ISS noted*:

 

“The company presents a strong economic rationale for the Redomiciliation: better access to U.S. capital, potential inclusion in additional indices, mitigation of regulatory and political risk, alignment with U.S. shareholder and customer requirements, and the transition from foreign private issuer to domestic SEC filer status.”

 

CEO Ben Gagnon said, “We are pleased that ISS supports our Board’s unanimous recommendation that shareholders vote to approve our U.S. redomiciliation plan. ISS’s report is an endorsement of the compelling strategic rationale for this transition and the value creation opportunities it will unlock as we complete our transformation from an international Bitcoin miner to a North American digital infrastructure and energy company, Keel Infrastructure. With the Meeting fast approaching, the Board urges shareholders to cast their votes FOR the Arrangement Resolution today.”

 

Your Vote is Important – No Matter How Many Shares You Own

 

The Arrangement Resolution requires approval by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at the Meeting. Shareholders can access the Meeting by visiting https://virtual-meetings.tsxtrust.com/1891 (password: bitfarms2026). The Company has fixed the close of business on February 13, 2026, as the record date for determining those shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance of the proxy deadline of 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on March 18, 2026.
