This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Placement Agent, by prompt written notice given to the Company, if (1) since the time of execution of this Agreement there has been any change or any development involving a prospective change in the business, properties, management, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, except as disclosed in Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the effect of which change or development is, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (2) at any time since the execution of this Agreement (i) there shall have occurred a suspension or material limitation in trading in the securities of the Company on Nasdaq or trading in any securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq shall have been suspended or materially limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market; (ii) a commercial banking moratorium shall have been declared either by U.S. federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption shall have occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or (3) since the time of execution of this Agreement, there shall have occurred any downgrading, or any notice or announcement shall have been given or made of: (A) any intended or potential downgrading or (B) any watch, review or possible change that does not indicate an affirmation or improvement in the rating accorded any securities of or guaranteed by the Company or any subsidiary by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” registered under Section 15E of the Exchange Act.

10. [Reserved].

 

11. Indemnity and Contribution.

 

(a) The Company agrees to (x) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its partners, directors, officers and members, any person who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Act) of the Placement Agent, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which the Placement Agent or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company) or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Placement Agent Information or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement in connection with the Placement Agent Information, which material fact was not contained in the Placement Agent Information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Prospectus (the term Prospectus for the purpose of this Section 11 being deemed to include the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to the foregoing), in any Permitted Terms Pricing Prospectus, in any Testing-the-Waters Communication, in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) of the Company or in any Prospectus together with any combination of one or more of the Permitted Terms Pricing Prospectuses, if any, or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except, with respect to such Prospectus or the Permitted Pricing Terms Prospectus, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Placement Agent Information or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Pricing Terms Prospectus in connection with the Placement Agent Information, which material fact was not contained in the Placement Agent Information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (y) indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all other losses, damages, liabilities or claims (or actions in respect thereof) that otherwise arise out of or are based upon or asserted against the Placement Agent, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, as applicable, by any person, including stockholders of the Company, in connection with or as a result of your acting as the Placement Agent in connection with the Share Purchases or that arise in connection with any other matter referred to in this Agreement.

 

20

 

 

(b) The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its subsidiaries, each of their respective directors and officers, and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Company or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Placement Agent Information or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Registration Statement in connection with the Placement Agent Information, which material fact was not contained in the Placement Agent Information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Placement Agent Information or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Pricing Terms Prospectus or Testing-the-Waters Communication in connection with the Placement Agent Information, which material fact was not contained in the Placement Agent Information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(c) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against a person (an “indemnified party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or the Placement Agent (as applicable, the “indemnifying party”) pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) respectively, of this Section 11, such indemnified party shall promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which such indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party or otherwise unless and to the extent the indemnifying party did not otherwise learn of such Proceeding and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantive rights and defenses as determined by a final non-appealable judicial determination. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such indemnifying party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with its written consent such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party or parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

 

21

 

 

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 11 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering (net of the placement fee but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the placement fee received by the Placement Agent, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Placement Agent on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Placement Agent and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

 

(e) The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (d) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, the Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total placement fee received by the Placement Agent exceeds the amount of any damages that the Placement Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of (i) such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission or (ii) such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (or action in respect thereof). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 11 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent, its partners, directors, officers or members or any person (including each partner, officer, director or member of such person) who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of Shares. the Company and the Placement Agent agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any of its officers or directors in connection with the issuance of the Shares, or in connection with the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Permitted Pricing Terms Prospectus.

Pricing Term Sheet

 

BITDEER TECHNOLOGIES GROUP

 

5,503,030 ORDINARY SHARES

 

PRICING TERM SHEET

 

This pricing term sheet of Bitdeer Technologies Group (“BTDR” or the “Issuer”) relates only to the registered direct offering of its ordinary shares described in, and should be read together with, the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated February 19, 2026 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), which supplements the prospectus included in Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-283732), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), before deciding to invest in the ordinary shares offered thereby. Terms used and not defined herein have the meanings assigned in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.

 

Issuer:

  Bitdeer Technologies Group, a Cayman Islands exempted company
     
Ticker / Exchange for Class A ordinary shares:   BTDR / Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”)
     
Number of Shares Offered:   5,503,030 Class A ordinary shares
     
Trade Date:   February 20, 2026
     
Settlement Date:   February 26, 2026 (T+4)1
     
Nasdaq Last Reported Sale Price of Class A ordinary shares on February 19, 2026:   $7.94 per Class A ordinary share
     
Offering Price:   $7.94 per Class A ordinary share
     
Use of Proceeds:  

We estimate that the net proceeds from the offering of our Class A ordinary shares will be approximately US$43.5 million, after deducting our estimated offering expenses payable by us. We estimate that the net proceeds from the Concurrent Note Offering (as defined below) will be approximately US$315.1 million (or approximately US$363.7 million if the initial purchasers in the Concurrent Note Offering exercise their option to purchase additional New Convertible Notes in full), after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering and the Concurrent Note Offering: (i) to pay the approximately US$29.2 million cost of the capped call transactions referred to in the preliminary prospectus that we entered into with the option counterparties; and (ii) to pay the approximately US$138.2 million cost of repurchasing for cash US$135.0 million aggregate principal amount of the November 2029 notes (including accrued and unpaid interest) in the Concurrent Note Repurchases. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds from this offering and the Concurrent Note Offering for datacenter expansion, HPC and AI cloud business expansion, ASIC-based mining rig development and manufacture, as well as working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

 

1 Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Class A ordinary shares prior to the business day preceding the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle T+4, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Class A ordinary shares who wish to trade the shares prior to the business day preceding the settlement date should consult their own advisors.

 

28

 

 

    If the initial purchasers in the Concurrent Note Offering exercise their option to purchase additional New Convertible Notes (as defined below), we intend to use net proceeds from the sale of the additional New Convertible Notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties and the remaining net proceeds for HPC and AI cloud business expansion, ASIC-based mining rig development and manufacture, as well as working capital and other general corporate purposes as described above.

See “Use of Proceeds” in the preliminary prospectus for additional information.
     
Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering:  

Concurrently with the offering of Class A ordinary shares, we are offering (the “Concurrent Note Offering”) US$325,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.00% convertible senior notes due 2032 (the “New Convertible Notes”) (or up to US$375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of New Convertible Notes if the initial purchasers in such offering exercise in full their option to purchase additional New Convertible Notes). The Concurrent Note Offering is being made pursuant to a confidential offering memorandum (and not pursuant to the prospectus supplement or this pricing term sheet) only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in transactions that are exempt from the registration and prospectus-delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The prospectus supplement and this pricing term sheet do not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the New Convertible Notes, or the Class A ordinary shares, if any, issuable upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes. The completion of the offering of Class A ordinary shares is contingent on the completion of the Concurrent Note Offering.

 

Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, the New Convertible Notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 100.7557 Class A ordinary shares per US$1,000 principal amount of New Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$9.93 per Class A ordinary share). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the conversion rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 125.9445 Class A ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of New Convertible Notes, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the conversion rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to the indenture governing the notes.

 

29

 

 

Concurrent Note Repurchase Transactions:  

Concurrently with the offering of Class A ordinary shares, we entered into privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of our November 2029 notes to repurchase for cash US$135.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the November 2029 notes for approximately US$138.2 million (including accrued and unpaid interest).

 

In connection with the concurrent note repurchase transactions, we expect that holders of the November 2029 notes who have agreed to have their November 2029 notes repurchased and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such notes (the “hedged holders”) will unwind all or part of their hedge positions by buying our Class A ordinary shares and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to our Class A ordinary shares. The amount of our Class A ordinary shares to be purchased by the hedged holders or in connection with such derivative transactions may be substantial in relation to the historic average daily trading volume of our Class A ordinary shares. This activity by the hedged holders could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of our Class A ordinary shares, including concurrently with the pricing of the notes. We cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the notes offered hereby or our Class A ordinary shares. See the section titled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Concurrent Notes Offering and the Existing Notes—Any repurchases of the November 2029 notes may affect the value of our Class A ordinary shares.” Each of the prospectus supplement and this pricing term sheet does not constitute an offer to buy, or the solicitation of an offer to sell, any of our November 2029 notes. The completion of the concurrent note repurchase transactions is contingent upon the completion of the offering of Class A ordinary shares and the Concurrent Note Offering..

     
Cap Price:   The cap price of the capped call transactions referred to in the preliminary prospectus that we entered into with the option counterparties will initially be US$15.88 per share, which represents a premium of 100% above the offering price per share in the offering of our Class A ordinary shares..
