Shareholder Approval. Yesterday, TAAL Distributed Information Technologies announced that shareholders voted to approve the previously announced plan of arrangement in which Calvin Ayre, owner of 38.5% of the outstanding common, will indirectly acquire all of the remaining shares at a price of C$1.07 per share, effectively taking the Company private.

3Q 2022 Results. Revenue totaled CAD$4.4 million for the quarter (all figures in CAD), or a decrease from the prior year’s $12.3 million, and is down sequentially from $7.3 million the previous quarter. The decrease from the prior year and quarter is due to the continuation of the macro trend in cryptocurrency with decreasing prices. Net loss for TAAL was $4.9 million, or diluted EPS of ($0.14), compared to net income of $2.1 million last year, or $0.05. We would note TAAL still does not have an auditor so all statements were prepared solely by management.

Continued Challenging Environment. The Company noted the continued volatility of the cryptocurrency prices, including the Company’s main coins, Bitcoin Core (“BTC”), BitcoinSV (“BSV”) and Bitcoin Cash (“BCH”). For BSV, the price of the coin was approximately $67 on September 30, 2022, and is now $52 as of November 10, 2022.

TAAL Distributed Information Technologies (TAALF) – A Take Private Proposal

Going Private. Yesterday, TAAL announced it had entered into an agreement with its largest shareholder, Calvin Ayre, for Mr. Ayre to take the Company private at a price of CAD$1.07/sh (about US$0.78/sh at the current exchange rate). The price represents about a 39.9% premium to the 10-day volume weighted average price. At first glance, the proposed price appears to be slightly below the average EV/S multiple of the crypto mining peer group, using our financial model, which has not been updated to include 3Q22 results as they have yet to be released.

Details. The transaction has unanimous approval by a Special Committee of independent directors and the full Board. A special shareholders meeting is scheduled for late December 2022. The transaction requires approval by two thirds of the votes cast by shareholders, excluding Mr. Ayre. Closing is expected shortly following the Special Meeting.
