Hut 8 Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: HUT), announces that it has served and filed an amended statement of claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the "Amended Claim") against Validus Power Corp. and its subsidiary, Bay Power Corp. (collectively, "Validus"), a third-party supplier of energy to the Company's mining facility in North Bay, Ontario.
The Amended Claim relates to the Company's ongoing and previously disclosed dispute with Validus in respect of Validus' failure to meet its contractual obligations under the power purchase agreement it entered into with the Company. In addition to the claims set out in the original statement of claim, the Amended Claim, among other things, adds claims involving the associated lease between the Company and Validus at the Company's mining facility in North Bay, Ontario to include a claim for unlawful termination by Validus of the aforementioned lease.
The Company does not intend to make additional comments on this subject unless otherwise determined to be appropriate.
