On March 4, 2021, Good Works Acquisition Corp. (“Good Works” and after the Business Combination, “Cipher Mining” or the “Issuer”) entered into a subscription agreement with Bitfury Top HoldCo, pursuant to which Bitfury Top HoldCo agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Good Works agreed to issue and sell to Bitfury Top HoldCo (or an affiliate of Bitfury Top HoldCo), an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Original Shares”) for an aggregate of cash and/or forgiveness of outstanding indebtedness owed by Old Cipher to Bitfury Top HoldCo (or an affiliate of Bitfury Top HoldCo) of $50,000,000. On August 27, 2021, Good Works and Bitfury


CUSIP No. 17253J106    13D    Page 8 of 12 pages

 

Top HoldCo amended the Bitfury Subscription Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Bitfury Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Bitfury Subscription Agreement, Bitfury Top HoldCo agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Good Works agreed to issue and sell to Bitfury Top HoldCo (or an affiliate of Bitfury Top HoldCo) an additional 1,000,000 shares of Cipher Mining Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Additional Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price for the Additional Shares of $10,000,000 (the “Additional Purchase Price”), so that Bitfury Top HoldCo’s aggregate subscription under the private placement is 6,000,000 shares of Cipher Mining Common Stock, for an aggregate of $60,000,000 (the “Bitfury Private Placement”). In accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Bitfury Subscription Agreement, the 6,000,000 shares subscribed for in the Bitfury Private Placement were issued to Bitfury Holding in exchange for cash and forgiveness of outstanding indebtedness owed by Old Cipher to Bitfury Top HoldCo (or an affiliate of Bitfury Top HoldCo).

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The information set forth in Item 3 and Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

Business Combination

On March 4, 2021, Good Works into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Good Works, Currency Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Good Works (“Merger Sub”) and Old Cipher. On August 27, 2021, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Old Cipher, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceasing and Old Cipher being the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cipher Mining (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). As a result of and upon the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), among other things: (i) each issued and outstanding ordinary share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Good Works was converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of the Issuer; (ii) each issued and outstanding whole warrant to purchase ordinary shares of Good Works (the “GWAC Warrant”) automatically converted into a warrant to acquire one share of Common Stock of the Issuer at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and conditions set forth in the warrant agreement governing the GWAC Warrants; and (iii) each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Old Cipher, par value $0.001 per share (“Old Cipher Common Stock”) was converted into 400,000 shares of Common Stock.

Bitfury Top HoldCo acquired the 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock referenced in Item 3 through the conversion of the Old Cipher Common Stock into shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

Bitfury Private Placement

Bitfury Holding acquired the 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer referenced in Item 3 through the Bitfury Private Placement.


CUSIP No. 17253J106    13D    Page 9 of 12 pages

 

The Amended and Restated Bitfury Subscription Agreement provides for a six-month post-Closing lock-up with respect to the Original Shares subject to customary terms and conditions. The Additional Shares are not subject to any lock-up restrictions.

Lock-Up Agreement

On August 26, 2021, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Good Works and Bitfury Top HoldCo entered into the Company Lock-Up Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The Company Lock-Up Agreement provides for post-Closing lock-ups with respect to Bitfury Top HoldCo’s shares of 200,000,000 Common Stock (excluding any Common Stock issued pursuant to the Bitfury Private Placement, which is subject to a separate lock-up set out in the Amended and Restated Bitfury Subscription Agreement and as described above). The term of the lock-up is two years, with certain amounts of the shares allowed to be publicly sold after six months, subject to customary terms and conditions.

Registration Rights Agreement

On August 26, 2021, Good Works, Bitfury Top HoldCo and others entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer has agreed to register for resale certain shares of Common Stock of the Issuer and other equity securities of the Issuer that are held by the parties thereto from time to time.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amended and Restated Bitfury Subscription Agreement, the Company Lock-up Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements, each of which is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.
