On June 23, 2022, BIT
Mining Limited (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase
Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company
agreed to sell (1) 11,200,000 American depositary shares (the “ADSs”), (2) certain pre-funded warrants to
purchase 4,800,000 ADSs (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) in lieu of the ADSs being offered, and (3) certain
warrants including (i) certain Series A warrants to purchase up to 16,000,000 ADSs (the “Series A Warrants”) and
(ii) certain Series B warrants to purchase up to 16,000,000 ADSs (the “Series B Warrants”) (collectively, the
“Warrants”) (the “Offering”). The combined purchase price of each ADS and the accompanying
Warrants is US$1.00. The combined purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant and the accompanying Warrants is US$0.99. The Offering
will result in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately
US$16.0 million (without taking into account any proceeds from any future exercises of
the Warrants), before deducting the placement agent's fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The
Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for to invest in mining
machines, build new data centers, expand infrastructure, and improve working capital position. The Offering is expected to
close on June 27, 2022.
Each
Series A Warrant is exercisable for one ADS at an exercise price of US$1.10 per ADSs. The Series A Warrants will be immediately exercisable
and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. Each Series B Warrant is exercisable for one ADS at an exercise
price of US$1.00 per ADSs. The Series B Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the 2½th anniversary of the
original issuance date. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one ADS at an exercise price of US$0.01. We
are offering the Pre-Funded Warrants to certain purchasers whose purchase of the ADSs in this Offering would otherwise result in
such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of
the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares immediately following the consummation of this Offering. The Pre-Funded
Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.
In connection with the
Offering, the Company entered into certain engagement letter dated June 10, 2022 (the “Letter Agreement”), with

Placement Agent agreed to act as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering. The Company agreed to pay the
Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised in this Offering. In addition, the Company will pay the
Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the cash exercise of any Warrants issued in
