EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Registration Statement is filed by BitFuFu Inc.

The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the A&R 2022 Plan has been adjusted from 7,500,000 Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the original 2022 Share Incentive Plan, for which a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-282033) was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 11, 2024 (the “Prior S-8 Registration Statement”), to 14,657,193 Class A ordinary shares, increased by 7,157,193 Class A ordinary shares. Based on the above, the additional securities registered hereby consist of 7,157,193 Class A ordinary shares. In accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Prior S-8 Registration Statement are incorporated herein by reference, except as otherwise set forth herein.
