Before closing the Transaction, Abaxx owned 8,333,333 MineHub Shares that were acquired under the parties' previous transactions in August and September, 2024. The Transaction is considered a related party transaction for MineHub under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, because Abaxx holds greater than 10 per cent of MineHub's outstanding shares.
