This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to deregister any and all securities that remain unsold or otherwise unissued as of the date hereof under the Registration Statement.

Effective October 30, 2024, pursuant to and in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 26, 2024 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Registrant, CleanSpark, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("CleanSpark"), and Tron Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CleanSpark ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant (the "Merger"), with the Registrant surviving and continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger.

As a result of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Registrant has terminated any and all offers and sales of its securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and is deregistering the remaining shares of its Common Stock (the "Shares") registered but unsold as of the effective time of the Merger under the Registration Statement, if any. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the Shares that had been registered for issuance under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration any and all such Shares registered but unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment. The Registration Statement is amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of the Shares as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.
