Riot and Bitfarms enter settlement agreement

Company: Riot

This claim was withdrawn on September 4, 2026. The quoted passage appears essentially verbatim and supports the settlement, resignation, and appointment, but the claim's added characterization of Finkielsztain as "Riot's nominee" appears nowhere in the filing and is inconsistent with Riot being the requisitioning shareholder whose settlement seated Freedman.

How this was decided: Evidence review against the cited source. The claim is preserved below exactly as it was originally published, so the record shows what was asserted as well as what became of it.

Quote: “On September 23, 2024, the Reporting Person and the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which (i) Andrés Finkielsztain resigned from the board of directors of the Company; (ii) Amy Freedman was appointed to the Board, the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Compensation Committee”

How we checked this

Checked on September 17, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.

The filing confirms the settlement date, Finkielsztain's resignation, and Freedman's appointment to the board and two committees. It does not say that Finkielsztain was Riot's nominee.

Confirmed in the source:

On September 23, 2024, Riot and Bitfarms entered into a settlement agreement
Andrés Finkielsztain resigned from the Bitfarms board under the agreement
Amy Freedman was appointed to the Bitfarms board and to its Governance and Nominating Committee and Compensation Committee

We could not confirm this from the cited source:

Finkielsztain was Riot's nominee

That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.

What we did: Read our cached copy of SEC EDGAR (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1167419/000110465924101875/tm2424523d1_sc13da.htm) in full (11,032 characters, retrieved August 31, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
