PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To Prospectus Dated August 28, 2025)

IREN Limited
Up to 11,981,668 Ordinary Shares
This prospectus supplement relates to the offer and resale from time to time of up to 11,981,668 ordinary shares (the “Ordinary shares”) of IREN Limited, by certain selling shareholders named in this prospectus supplement (the “Selling Holders”). We are registering the offer and sale of the Ordinary shares owned by the Selling Holders to satisfy registration rights we granted to them pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 4, 2026 by and among IREN Limited, Kube Merger Sub Inc. and Mirantis, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”), which closed on August 3, 2026.
We are not selling any securities under this prospectus supplement and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary shares by the Selling Holders pursuant to this prospectus supplement. Any Ordinary shares subject to resale hereunder will have been issued by us and received by the Selling Holders prior to any resale of such shares pursuant to this prospectus supplement. See “Selling Holders” for additional information.
Sales of the Ordinary shares by the Selling Holders may occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at privately negotiated prices. The Selling Holders may sell shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Holders, the purchasers of the Ordinary shares, or both.
Our registration of the Ordinary shares covered by this prospectus supplement does not mean that the Selling Holders will offer or sell any of the Ordinary shares. The Selling Holders may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of the Ordinary shares hereby registered publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We provide more information about how the Selling Holders may sell the Ordinary shares in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.” We will bear all costs and expenses and fees in connection with the registration of these Ordinary shares. We will not be paying any underwriting discounts or commissions in any offerings pursuant to this prospectus supplement.
Our Ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “IREN”. On August 3, 2026, the last reported sale price of our Ordinary shares was $39.75 per Ordinary share.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk.

Market and Industry Data
This prospectus supplement includes market, economic, and industry data as well as certain statistics and information relating to our business, markets, and other industry data, which we obtained or extrapolated from various third-party industry and research sources, as well as assumptions that we have made that are based on those data and other similar sources. Industry publications and other third-party surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. While we believe that such data is reliable, we have not independently verified such data and cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness thereof. Additionally, we cannot assure you that any of the assumptions underlying these statements are accurate or correctly reflect our position in the industry, and not all of our internal estimates have been verified by any independent sources. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that a third-party using different methods to assemble, analyze, or compute market data would obtain the same results. There is no precise definition for what constitutes the Bitcoin mining market, the high-performance computing (“HPC”) solutions (including the market for AI Cloud Services and potential colocation services such as powered shell, build-to-suit and turnkey data centers (“Colocation Services”) (collectively “HPC and AI services”)) market, or any other market or industry referenced in this prospectus supplement. We do not intend, and do not assume any obligations, to update industry or market data set forth in this prospectus supplement. Finally, behavior, preferences, and trends in the marketplace tend to change. As a result, investors and prospective investors should be aware that data in this prospectus supplement and estimates based on such data may not be reliable indicators of future results.
References to “market share” and “market leader” are based on global revenues in the referenced market, and unless otherwise specified herein, are based on certain of the materials referenced above.
S-iii
Throughout this prospectus supplement, we use a number of industry terms and concepts which are defined as follows:
• | AI Cloud Services: Cloud-based access to GPU compute and related infrastructure, software and support for artificial intelligence workloads. |
• | AI: Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) is computer software that mimics human cognitive abilities in order to perform complex tasks, such as decision making, data analysis, language translation and a variety of tools and services across the emergent AI industry that have been developed to leverage AI capabilities. |
• | Bitcoin: A system of global, decentralized, scarce, digital money as initially introduced in a white paper titled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” published on October 31, 2008, by an individual or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. |
• | Bitcoin network: The collection of all nodes running the Bitcoin protocol. This includes miners that use computing power to maintain the ledger and add new blocks to the blockchain. |
• | Block: A bundle of transactions analogous with digital pages in a ledger. Transactions are bundled into blocks, which are then added to the ledger. Miners are rewarded for “mining” a new block. |
• | Blockchain: A software program containing a cryptographically secure digital ledger that maintains a record of all transactions that occur on the network, that enables peer-to-peer transmission of transaction information, and that follows a consensus protocol for confirming new blocks to be added to the blockchain. |
• | Board: The board of directors of IREN Limited. |
• | Difficulty: In the context of Bitcoin mining, a measure of the relative complexity of the algorithmic solution required for a miner to mine a block and receive the Bitcoin reward. An increase in global hashrate will temporarily result in faster block times as the mining algorithm is solved quicker – and vice versa if the global hashrate decreases. The Bitcoin network protocol adjusts the network difficulty every 2,016 blocks (approximately every two weeks) to maintain a target block time of 10 minutes. |
• | Digital Asset: Bitcoin and alternative coins, or “altcoins,” launched after the success of Bitcoin. This category is designed to serve functions including as a medium of exchange, store of value, and/or to power applications. |
• | EH/s: Exahash per second. 1 EH/s equals one quintillion hashes per second (1,000,000,000,000,000,000 h/s). |
• | Fiat Currency: A government issued currency that is not backed by a physical commodity, such as gold or silver, but rather by the government that issued it. |
• | GPUs: Graphics processing units are a type of computing technology designed for parallel processing, which can be used in a wide range of applications, including graphics and video rendering, gaming, creative production and AI. |
• | Hash: To compute a function that takes an input, and then outputs an alphanumeric string known as the “hash value”. |
• | Hashrate: The speed at which a miner can produce computations (hashes) using the Bitcoin network’s algorithm, expressed in hashes per second. The hashrate of all miners on a particular network is referred to as the global hashrate. |
• | HPC: High-performance computing, which refers to the aggregation of computing power to achieve higher performance levels, often utilized to perform complex calculations in fields including science, engineering, finance, AI, and business. It typically involves using supercomputers or clusters of computers, often employing parallel processing, to perform calculations simultaneously, thereby greatly reducing computation time. |
S-iv
• | Miner: Individuals or entities who operate a computer or group of computers that compete to mine blocks. Bitcoin miners who successfully mine blocks are rewarded with new Bitcoin as well as any transaction fees. |
• | Mining: The process by which new Bitcoin blocks are created, and thus new transactions are added to the blockchain in the Bitcoin network. |
• | Mining pools: Mining pools are platforms for miners to contribute their hashrate in exchange for Digital Assets, including Bitcoin, and in some cases regardless of whether the pool effectively mines any block. Miners tend to join pools to increase payout frequency, with pools generally offering daily payouts, and to externalize to the pool the risk of a block taking longer than statistically expected from the network difficulty. Mining pools offers these services in exchange for a fee. |
• | Protocol: The software that governs how a blockchain operates. |
• | SEC: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. |

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part and the documents incorporated by reference herein carefully, including the information set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” and our financial statements.

Overview
We are a vertically integrated provider of AI Cloud Services, delivering large-scale data centers and compute for AI training and inference. Our platform is underpinned by an expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and power in renewable-rich regions across the globe.
We have data center sites with executed grid connection agreements, letters of agreement or equivalents, representing approximately 5GW of total power capacity in the United States, Canada, Spain and Australia. Our data centers are currently powered by 100% renewable energy (whether from clean or renewable energy sources or through the purchase of renewable energy certificates).
Our AI Cloud Services operations generate revenue by providing access to cloud-based GPU computing to customers for AI training and inference workloads. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately 150,000 GPUs installed or on order for our data centers.
Our Bitcoin mining operations generate revenue by earning Bitcoin through a combination of Block rewards and transaction fees from the operation of our Bitcoin miners and exchanging these Bitcoin for Fiat Currencies such as USD. We typically liquidate all the Bitcoin we mine daily and therefore did not have any Bitcoin held on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had installed hashrate capacity of approximately 38 EH/s.
Mirantis Acquisition
On August 3, 2026, we closed the acquisition of Mirantis, Inc. (“Mirantis”), a US-based cloud software and services provider. Our acquisition of Mirantis was consummated pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, our subsidiary, Kube Merger Sub Inc., merged with and into Mirantis, with Mirantis surviving such merger as the continuing corporation and our direct wholly owned subsidiary (the “Mirantis Acquisition”). On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, IREN acquired Mirantis for aggregate consideration of 13,673,894 Ordinary shares (the “Aggregate Consideration”), except that holders of shares of Mirantis capital stock that are unaccredited investors received their pro rata share of the Aggregate Consideration in cash in lieu of Ordinary shares based on a price per Ordinary share of $45.66 (being the closing price of our Ordinary shares as of Friday, May 1, 2026).
The Ordinary shares issued to the Selling Holders in connection with the Mirantis Acquisition were not initially registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. We relied on the exemption from the registration requirements for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Rule 506 under Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Each of the Selling Holders has represented to us that such Selling Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we agreed to promptly (and in any event within one business day following the closing of the Mirantis Acquisition) file, a registration statement with the SEC to register for resale the Ordinary shares issued under the Merger Agreement, and to use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable after such registration statement is filed.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they were made. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into these documents and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.
S-9
Any Ordinary shares offered by the Selling Holders pursuant to this prospectus supplement will be sold by the Selling Holders for their respective accounts. We are not selling any securities under this prospectus supplement and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary shares by the Selling Holders pursuant to this prospectus supplement.
The Selling Holders will pay any underwriting fees, discounts and selling commissions incurred by such Selling Holders in connection with any sale of their Ordinary shares. The Company will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Ordinary shares covered by this prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of counsel and independent registered public accountants. The Company will not be paying any underwriting discounts or commissions in any offerings pursuant to this prospectus supplement.
S-10
Since our incorporation, we have not declared or paid any dividends on our issued share capital. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Board and subject to Australian law. If the Board elects to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earning, capital requirements and surplus, general financial conditions, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. B Class shares do not confer on their holders any right to receive dividends. For additional information, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares—We do not currently pay any cash dividends on our ordinary shares, and may not in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, your ability to achieve a return on your investment in our ordinary shares will depend on appreciation, if any, in the price of our ordinary shares” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on August 28, 2025, incorporated herein by reference.
S-12
We are a public company incorporated under the laws of Australia with limited liability. Some or all of our directors may be non-residents of the United States and substantially all of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible or practicable for you to:
• | effect service of process within the United States upon our non-U.S. resident directors or on us; |
• | enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against our non-U.S. resident directors or us in U.S. courts in any action, including actions under the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; |
• | enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against our non-U.S. resident directors or us in courts of jurisdictions outside the United States in any action, including actions under the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; or |
• | bring an original action in an Australian court to enforce liabilities against our non-U.S. resident directors or us based solely upon U.S. securities laws. |
You may also have difficulties enforcing in courts outside the United States judgments that are obtained in U.S. courts against any of our non-U.S. resident directors or us, including actions under the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. Australia has developed a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States and may provide protections for investors to a lesser extent.
It may be difficult (or impossible in some circumstances) for Australian companies to commence court action or proceedings before the federal courts of the United States or other jurisdiction in which it conducts business or has assets. This may make it difficult for us to recover amounts we are owed and to generally enforce our rights, which may have an adverse impact on our operations and financial standing. Even where we are able to enforce our rights, this may be costly and/or time consuming, risky, and may not guarantee recovery, which in turn may have an adverse impact on our operations and financial standing.
There are no treaties between Australia and the United States that would affect the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments in Australia. We also note that investors may be able to bring an original action in an Australian court against us to enforce liabilities based in part upon U.S. federal securities laws. The disclosures in this section are not based on the opinion of counsel.
We have appointed Cogency Global Inc. as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us under the federal securities laws of the United States.

This prospectus supplement relates to the possible offer and resale by the Selling Holders of up to 11,981,668 of our Ordinary shares.

The Selling Holders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Ordinary shares set forth below pursuant to this prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “Selling Holders” in this prospectus supplement, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Holders’ interest in the securities of the Company listed in the table below after the date of this prospectus supplement such that registration rights shall apply to those securities.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. A person is a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or “investment power”, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days of April 30, 2026. We have based percentage ownership prior to this offering on 357,378,674 Ordinary shares as of April 30, 2026.
Unless otherwise indicated below, the address for each beneficial owner is c/o IREN Limited, Level 5, 55 Market Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia.

S-15
The following descriptions are summaries of the material terms of our company constitution (“Constitution”). Reference is made to the more detailed provisions of the Constitution. Please note that this summary is not intended to be exhaustive. For further information, please refer to the full version of our amended and restated Constitution which is included as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
General
IREN Limited was incorporated under the laws of Australia on November 6, 2018, and is an Australian public company (ACN 629 842 799). Our registered address is located at Level 5, 55 Market Street, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 2000.
We do not have a limit on our authorized share capital and do not recognize the concept of par value under Australian law.
Subject to restrictions on the issue of securities in our Constitution and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations Act”) and any other applicable law, we may at any time issue shares and grant options or warrants on any terms, with the rights and restrictions and for the consideration that the Board determines.
The rights and restrictions attaching to Ordinary shares and B Class shares are derived through a combination of our Constitution, the common law applicable to Australia, the Corporations Act and other applicable law. A general summary of some of the rights and restrictions attaching to Ordinary shares and B Class shares are summarized below. Each ordinary shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to be present, to vote and to speak at general meetings.
Ordinary Shares
Our Ordinary shares and B Class shares will have the rights and restrictions described in “Key Provisions in Our Constitution”.
Key Provisions in Our Constitution
Our Constitution is similar in nature to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of a U.S. corporation. It does not provide for or prescribe any specific objectives or purposes for the Company. Our Constitution is subject to the terms of the Corporations Act. It may be amended or repealed and replaced by special resolution of shareholders, which is a resolution passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders (in person or by proxy) entitled to vote on the resolution.
Under Australian law, a company has the legal capacity and powers of an individual both within and outside Australia. The material provisions of our Constitution are summarized below. This summary is not intended to be complete nor to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of our shareholders, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of our Constitution, a copy of which is an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Interested Directors
A director or that director’s alternate who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a directors’ meeting must not be present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or vote in respect of that matter according to our Constitution unless permitted to do so by the Corporations Act, in which case such director may (i) be counted in determining whether or not a quorum is present at any meeting of directors considering that contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement; (ii) sign or countersign any document relating to that contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement; and (iii) vote in respect of, or in respect of any matter arising out of, the contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement.
Unless a relevant exception applies, the Corporations Act requires our directors to provide disclosure of any material personal interest, and prohibits directors from voting on matters in which they have a material personal interest and from being present at the meeting while the matter is being considered, unless directors who do not have a material personal interest in the relevant matter have passed a resolution that identifies the director, the
S-16
nature and extent of the director’s interest in the matter and its relation to our affairs and states that those directors are satisfied that the interest should not disqualify the director from voting or being present. In addition, the Corporations Act may require shareholder approval of any provision of related party benefits to our directors, unless a relevant exception applies.
Borrowing Powers Exercisable by Directors
Pursuant to our Constitution, the management and control of our business affairs are vested in our Board. Our Board has the power to raise or borrow money or obtain other financial accommodation for the purposes of the Company, and may grant security for the repayment of that sum or sums or the payment, performance or fulfilment of any debts, liabilities, contracts or obligations incurred or undertaken by the Company in any manner and upon any terms and conditions as our Board deems appropriate.
Appointment of Directors
Under the Constitution, the minimum number of directors that may comprise the Board is 3 and the maximum is fixed by the directors but may not be more than 10 (or such other number resolved by ordinary resolution of the Company in a general meeting from time to time). Directors are elected at annual general meetings of the Company. The directors may also appoint a director to fill vacancies resulting from a director ceasing to hold office or otherwise and to fill newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, who will then hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Company.
Each of Awassi Capital Holdings 1 Pty Ltd ACN 629 820 499 and Awassi Capital Holdings 2 Pty Ltd ACN 629 819 978, or their respective affiliates, who hold a B Class share shall be entitled to designate a nominee for election to the Board (each such nominee, a “Founder Director”). A Founder Director will automatically cease to be a director, and must be immediately removed as a director, if that Founder Director is removed as a director where required under the Corporations Act or our constitution.
Rights and Restrictions on Classes of Shares
The rights attaching to our Ordinary shares are detailed in our Constitution. Our Constitution provides that, subject to the Corporations Act and our Constitution, our directors may issue shares with preferential, deferred or special rights, privileges or conditions or with any restrictions, whether in relation to dividends, voting, return of share capital, or otherwise as our Board may determine. Subject to the Corporations Act and our Constitution (see “Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Constitution”), we may issue further shares on such terms and conditions as our Board resolve.
We may only issue preference shares if the rights attaching to the preference shares relating to repayment of capital, participation in surplus assets and profits, cumulative and non-cumulative dividends, voting and priority of payment of capital and dividends in respect of other shares (including Ordinary shares) are set out in our Constitution or otherwise approved by special resolution passed at a general meeting.
Dividend Rights
Under the Corporations Act, a company must not pay a dividend unless (a) the company’s assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend; (b) the payment of the dividend is fair and reasonable to the company’s shareholders as a whole; and (c) the payment of the dividend does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors. Subject to this requirement, our Board may from time to time determine to pay and declare dividends to shareholders in accordance with the respective rights and restrictions attached to any share or class of share. Each B Class share does not confer on its holder any right to receive dividends.
All dividends unclaimed for one year after the time for payment has passed may be invested or otherwise made use of by our Board for our benefit until claimed or until dealt with under any law relating to unclaimed moneys.
Voting Rights
Voting rights at a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders will be determined by poll (rather than a show of hands).
S-17
On a poll, holders of Ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each Ordinary share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share held by the shareholder and in respect.
The holders of B Class shares are entitled to vote at general meetings of shareholders. Each B Class shareholder is entitled on a poll, to 15 votes for each Ordinary share held by the holder of a B Class share.
In the case of joint holders of a share, the vote of the joint holder whose name appears first on the register of shareholders in respect of the joint holding shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.
In accordance with the Corporations Act and the provisions of our Constitution, the circumstances in which holders of a class of shares, including holders of Ordinary shares, will be entitled to vote separately as a single class are limited to:
• | voting for a variation of class rights that only affect a single share class; |
• | voting for a compromise or arrangement proposed that would affect a certain class of holder, e.g. a plan of arrangement to transfer a class of share to a bidder; and |
• | voting in response to a takeover bid for a specific class of shares. |
Right to Share in Our Profits
Pursuant to our Constitution, our shareholders are entitled to participate in our profits only by payment of dividends in accordance with the respective rights and restrictions attached to any share or class of share. Our Board may from time to time determine to pay dividends to the shareholders. However, any such dividend may only be payable in accordance with the requirements set out in the Corporations Act described above.
Rights to Share in the Surplus in the Event of Winding Up
If the Company is wound up, then subject to any rights or restrictions attached to a class of shares, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company, distribute the whole or any part of the assets and may for that purpose: (i) decide how the assets are to be distributed as between the members or different classes of members; (ii) value the assets to be distributed in such manner as the liquidator thinks fit; and (iii) vest the whole or any part of any assets in such trustees and on such trusts for the benefit of the members entitled to the distribution of those assets as the liquidator thinks fit.
B Class shares shall not confer on their holders any right to participate pro rata in any distribution of profits and assets of, and any proceeds received by, the company in excess of the total amount of capital paid-up by the holders upon issue of such B Class share.
Redemption Provision for Shares
There are no redemption provisions in our Constitution in relation to Ordinary shares. Under our Constitution, shares may be issued and allotted, which are liable to be redeemed.
B Class shares will be redeemed by the Company for A$1.00 per B Class share in accordance with the Constitution upon the earlier to occur of the following circumstances:
• | that holder (or its affiliate or founder in respect of such holder) ceases to be a director due to voluntary retirement; |
• | the transfer of any B Class share by that holder (or an affiliate) to another person in breach of the Constitution (which is unremedied within 20 business days); |
• | the liquidation or winding up of the Company; or |
• | the date which is 12 years after the date upon which the company becomes first listed on a recognized stock exchange. |
The redemption of B Class shares, whether voluntary or upon a transfer of B Class shares, may have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of B Class shares who retain their B Class shares. Under the Corporations Act, redeemable preference shares may only be redeemed if those preference shares are fully paid-up and payment in satisfaction of redemption is out of profits or the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purposes of the redemption.
S-18
Variation or Cancellation of Share Rights
Subject to the Corporations Act and the terms of issue of a class of shares, the rights attaching to any class of shares may be varied or cancelled with the approval of the Board and: (a) the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares included in that class; or (b) by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of those shares.
General Meetings of Shareholders
General meetings of shareholders may be called by our Board. Except as permitted under the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules (as defined in the Constitution) or the Securities Laws (as defined in the Constitution), shareholders may not convene a meeting. The Corporations Act requires the directors to call and arrange to hold a general meeting on the request of shareholders with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting. Notice of the proposed meeting of our shareholders is required at least 21 days prior to such meeting under the Corporations Act.
Under the Constitution, a general meeting of shareholders will be properly convened if shareholders entitled to cast at least 33 1/3% of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast on one or more resolutions at the relevant meeting are present (which must include each holder of a B Class share from time to time, to the extent such holder is entitled to vote on one or more resolutions at the relevant meeting). In addition, under Nasdaq Rule 5605, shareholders holding not less than 33 1/3% of the voting power of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at a company’s annual meeting must be present in order to proceed. The Constitution also provides that, if a provision of the IREN Constitution is not consistent with the listing rules of a stock exchange upon which IREN is listed, then the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency. Accordingly, the quorum requirements in both the Constitution and Nasdaq Rule 5605 must be satisfied in order to be properly convened.
Foreign Ownership Regulations
Our Constitution does not impose specific limitations on the rights of non-residents to own securities. However, acquisitions and proposed acquisitions of securities in Australian companies may be subject to review and approval by the Australian Federal Treasurer under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) (“FATA”), which generally applies to acquisitions or proposed acquisitions:
• | by a foreign person (as defined in the FATA) or associated foreign persons that would result in such persons having an interest in 20% or more of the issued shares of, or control of 20% or more of the voting power in, an Australian company; or |
• | by a foreign government investor (as defined in the FATA) that would result in such a person having any direct interest (as defined in the FATA) in an Australian company. |
In general terms, for proposals for investment in non-sensitive sectors, no such review or approval under the FATA is required if the foreign acquirer is a U.S. entity and the value of the Australian target is less than A$1,498 million. A lower general A$347 million threshold applies to most other foreign investors. These monetary thresholds apply as at the date of this prospectus supplement but may be amended from time to time (including through indexation).
The Australian Federal Treasurer may prevent a proposed acquisition in the above categories or impose conditions on such acquisition if the Australian Federal Treasurer is satisfied that the acquisition would be contrary to the national interest. If a foreign person acquires shares or an interest in shares in an Australian company in contravention of the FATA, the Australian Federal Treasurer has the power to make a range of orders including an order of the divestiture of such person’s shares or interest in shares in that Australian company.
Share transfers
Subject to the Constitution, shares may be transferred by a proper transfer effected in accordance with the Nasdaq listing rules, by a written instrument of transfer which complies with the Constitution or by any other method permitted by the Corporations Act. The Board may refuse to register a transfer of shares where permitted or required to do so under the Corporations Act or Nasdaq listing rules. B Class shares are not transferable by the holder (other than to an affiliate of that holder).
S-19
Issues of Shares and Change in Capital
Subject to our Constitution, the Corporations Act and any other applicable law, we may at any time issue shares and give any person a call or option over any shares on any terms, with preferential, deferred or other special rights, privileges or conditions or with restrictions and for the consideration and other terms that the directors determine. We may only issue preference shares if the rights attaching to the preference shares relating to repayment of capital, participation in surplus assets and profits, cumulative and non-cumulative dividends, voting and priority of payment of capital and dividends in respect of other shares (including Ordinary shares) are set out in our Constitution or otherwise approved by special resolution passed at a general meeting of shareholders.
Subject to the requirements of our Constitution, the Corporations Act and any other applicable law, including relevant shareholder approvals, we may consolidate or divide our share capital into a larger or smaller number by resolution, reduce our share capital in any manner (provided that the reduction is fair and reasonable to our shareholders as a whole, does not materially prejudice our ability to pay creditors and obtains the necessary shareholder approval) or buy back our Ordinary shares whether under an equal access buy-back or on a selective basis.
Proportional takeover bids
Our Constitution contains provisions for shareholder approval to be required in relation to any proportional takeover bid. These provisions were renewed by special resolution of the shareholders in the most recent general meeting.
Amendment
The Constitution can only be amended by special resolution passed by at least three-quarters of the votes cast by shareholders present (in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote on the resolution at a general meeting of the Company. The Company must give at least 21 days’ written notice of a general meeting of the Company.
Anti-Takeover Effects
Takeovers of Australian public companies that have more than 50 shareholders are regulated by, amongst other things, the Corporations Act which prohibits the acquisition of a relevant interest in issued voting shares in a public company if the acquisition will lead to that person’s or someone else’s voting power in the company increasing from 20% or below to more than 20% or increasing from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%, which we refer to as the “Takeover Prohibition”, subject to a range of exceptions. Generally, and without limitation, a person will have a “relevant interest” in securities if they:
• | are the holder of the securities (other than if the person holds those securities as a bare trustee); |
• | have power to exercise, or control the exercise of, a right to vote attached to the securities; or |
• | have the power to dispose of, or control the exercise of a power to dispose of, the securities (including any indirect or direct power or control). |
If at a particular time a person has a relevant interest in issued securities and the person (whether before or after acquiring the relevant interest):
• | has entered or enters into an agreement with another person with respect to the securities; |
• | has given or gives another person an enforceable right, or has been or is given an enforceable right by another person, in relation to the securities (whether the right is enforceable presently or in the future and whether or not on the fulfillment of a condition); or |
• | has granted or grants an option to, or has been or is granted an option by, another person with respect to the securities and the other person would have a relevant interest in the securities if the agreement were performed, the right enforced or the option exercised, the other person is also taken to have acquired a relevant interest in the securities that are the subject of an abovementioned act, at the time that such act occurs. |
S-20
There are a number of exceptions to the Takeover Prohibition. In general terms, some of the more significant exceptions include:
• | when the acquisition results from the acceptance of an offer under a formal takeover bid; |
• | when the acquisition is conducted on market by or on behalf of the bidder under a takeover bid and the acquisition occurs during the bid period; |
• | when the disinterested shareholders of the target company approve the takeover by resolution passed at general meeting; |
• | an acquisition by a person if, throughout the six months before the acquisition, that person, or any other person, has had voting power in the company of at least 19% and as a result of the acquisition, none of the relevant persons would have voting power in the company more than 3% higher than they had six months before the acquisition; |
• | as a result of a rights issue; |
• | as a result of dividend reinvestment schemes or bonus share plan; |

Certain breaches of the takeovers provisions of the Corporations Act may give rise to criminal offences. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the Australian Takeover Panel have a wide range of powers relating to breaches of takeover provisions including the ability to make orders canceling contracts, freezing transfers of, and rights attached to, securities, and forcing a party to dispose of securities. There are certain defenses to breaches of the takeovers provisions provided in the Corporations Act.
Australian Merger Control Regime
On January 1, 2026, a mandatory and suspensory merger clearance regime commenced in Australia (“Australian Merger Control Regime”). This regime applies to the acquisition of shares in a body corporate, units in a unit trust or in a managed investment scheme and to the acquisition of assets, which includes the acquisition of property as well as legal and equitable rights that are not property.
Under the regime, an acquisition is required to be notified to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (“ACCC”) (a “Notifiable Acquisition”) where (i) the shares, units or assets to be acquired are connected with Australia, (ii) for shares, the acquirer is acquiring a controlling interest in an entity or the acquisition meets various voting power thresholds, (iii) one of the monetary notification thresholds (as prescribed in the Competition and Consumer (Notification of Acquisitions) Determination 2025 (Cth)) (“Determination”) is satisfied, and (iv) no exception to the notification requirement applies.
It is unlawful to fail to notify a Notifiable Acquisition to the ACCC and to ‘put into effect’ a Notifiable Acquisition unless (i) the acquiring party submits a filing to the ACCC and the ACCC determines that it may be put into effect, or (ii) the acquiring party submits a waiver application and the ACCC grants a waiver in respect of the proposed acquisition.
Any Notifiable Acquisition that is, or is attempted to be, put into effect without a determination or waiver by the ACCC is void by operation of law.
Investors should assess whether, and the extent to which, their purchase of any notes may constitute a Notifiable Acquisition under the Australian Merger Control Regime, including whether the acquisition of any notes falls within a relevant exception to the notification requirement.

Differences in Corporate Law
Set forth below is a comparison of certain shareholder rights and corporate governance matters under Delaware law and Australian law:
Corporate law issue | Delaware law | Australian law | ||||
Special Meetings of Shareholders | Shareholders generally do not have the right to call meetings of shareholders unless that right is granted in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws. However, if a corporation fails to hold its annual meeting within a period of 30 days after the date designated for the annual meeting, or if no date has been designated for a period of 13 months after its last annual meeting, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order a meeting to be held upon the application of a shareholder. | The Corporations Act requires the directors to call a general meeting on the request of shareholders with at least 5% of the vote that may be cast at the general meeting. Shareholders with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at the general meeting may also call and arrange to hold a general meeting. The shareholders calling the meeting must pay the expenses of calling and holding the meeting. | ||||
Interested Director Transactions | Interested director transactions are permissible and may not be legally voided if: • either a majority of disinterested directors, or a majority in interest of holders of shares of the corporation’s capital shares entitled to vote upon the matter, approves the transaction upon disclosure of all material facts; or • the transaction is determined to have been fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof or the shareholders. | A director or that director’s alternate who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a directors’ meeting must not be present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or vote in respect of that matter unless permitted to do so by the Corporations Act, in which case such director may: • be counted in determining whether or not a quorum is present at any meeting of directors considering that contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement; • sign or countersign any document relating to that contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement; and • vote in respect of, or in respect of any matter arising out of, the contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement. Unless a relevant exception applies, the Corporations Act requires our directors to provide disclosure of any material personal interest, and prohibits directors from voting on matters in which they have a material personal interest and from being present at the meeting while the matter is being considered, unless directors who do not have a material personal interest in the relevant matter have passed a resolution | ||||
S-22
Corporate law issue | Delaware law | Australian law | ||||
that identifies the director, the nature and extent of the director’s interest in the matter and its relation to our affairs and states that those directors are satisfied that the interest should not disqualify the director from voting or being present. In addition, the Corporations Act may require shareholder approval of any provision of related party benefits to our directors, unless a relevant exception applies. | ||||||
Cumulative Voting | The certificate of incorporation of a Delaware corporation may provide that shareholders of any class or classes or of any series may vote cumulatively either at all elections or at elections under specified circumstances. | No cumulative voting concept for director elections. Voting rights can vary by share class, depending on the terms attaching to the shares under the constitution of the company. Ordinary shares carry one vote (by poll) per share and B Class shares carry 15 votes (by poll) per Ordinary share held by the holder. | ||||
Approval of Corporate Matters by Written Consent | Unless otherwise specified in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, shareholders may take action permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting, without a meeting, notice, or a vote, if consents, in writing, setting forth the action, are signed by shareholders with not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting. All consents must be dated and are only effective if the requisite signatures are collected within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered. | Australian public companies cannot pass resolutions by circulating written resolutions. | ||||
Business Combinations | With certain exceptions, a merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all the assets of a Delaware corporation must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. | No requirement for shareholder approval under Australian law, unless the transaction involves a transfer or issue or new shares or other securities to existing shareholders (for example, a business combination through a scrip-for-scrip merger) or a related party (generally, a director or its associates). | ||||
Limitations on Director’s Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers | A Delaware corporation may include in its certificate of incorporation provisions limiting the personal liability of its directors to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for many types of breach of fiduciary duty. However, these provisions may not limit liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a | Australian law provides that a company or a related body corporate of the company may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent of any of the following liabilities incurred as an officer or director of the company: • a liability owed to the company or a related body corporate of the company; | ||||
S-23
Corporate law issue | Delaware law | Australian law | ||||
knowing violation of law, the authorization of unlawful dividends, stock purchases, or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. Moreover, these provisions would not be likely to bar claims arising under U.S. federal securities laws. A Delaware corporation may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in defense of an action, suit, or proceeding by reason of his or her position if (i) the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. | • a liability for a pecuniary penalty order made under section 1317G or a compensation order under section 961M, 1317H, 1317HA or 1317HB of the Corporations Act; • a liability that is owed to someone other than the company or a related body corporate of the company and did not • arise out of conduct in good faith; or • legal costs incurred in defending an action for a liability incurred as an officer or director of the company if the costs are incurred: ○ in defending or resisting proceedings in which the officer or director is found to have a liability for which they cannot be indemnified as set out above; ○ in defending or resisting criminal proceedings in which the officer or director is found guilty; ○ in defending or resisting proceedings brought by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission or a liquidator for a court order if the grounds for making the order are found by the court to have been established (except costs incurred in responding to actions taken by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission or a liquidator as part of an investigation before commencing proceedings for a court order); or ○ in connection with proceedings for relief to the officer or a director under the Corporations Act, in which the court denies the relief. | |||||
Appraisal Rights | A shareholder of a Delaware corporation participating in certain major corporate transactions may, under certain | No equivalent concept under Australian law, subject to general minority oppression rights under which shareholders can apply | ||||

circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights under which the shareholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair value of the shares held by that shareholder (as determined by a court) in lieu of the consideration the shareholder would otherwise receive in the transaction. | to the Courts for an order in respect of Company actions that are unfairly prejudicial to a shareholder. | |||||
Shareholder Suits | Class actions and derivative actions generally are available to the shareholders of a Delaware corporation for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law. In such actions, the court has discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action. | Shareholders have a number of statutory protections and rights available to them, regardless of the quantity of shares they hold. These include: • the ability to call a meeting of the company and propose resolutions; and • the right to apply to the court for orders in cases where majority shareholders, or the directors, act in an oppressive or unfairly prejudicial manner towards a single shareholder does not have a minimum shareholding requirement, and can result in a broad range of orders, including: ○ the winding up of the company; ○ modification of the company’s constitution; and ○ any other order the court determines to be appropriate. | ||||
Inspection of Books and Records | All shareholders of a Delaware corporation have the right, upon written demand, to inspect or obtain copies of the corporation’s shares ledger and its other books and records for any purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a shareholder. | Any shareholder of the Company has the right to inspect or obtain copies of our share register on the payment of a prescribed fee. Books containing the minutes of general meetings will be kept at our registered office and will be open to inspection of shareholders at all times when the office is required to be open to the public. Other corporate records, including minutes of directors’ meetings, financial records and other documents, are not open for inspection by shareholders (who are not directors). Where a shareholder is acting in good faith and an inspection is deemed to be made for a proper purpose, a shareholder may apply to the court to make | ||||

an order for inspection of our books. All public companies are required to prepare annual financial reports and directors’ reports for each financial year, and to file these reports with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. | ||||||
Amendments to Charter | Amendments to the certificate of incorporation of a Delaware corporation require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon or such greater vote as is provided for in the certificate of incorporation. A provision in the certificate of incorporation requiring the vote of a greater number or proportion of the directors or of the holders of any class of shares than is required by Delaware corporate law may not be amended, altered or repealed except by such greater vote. | Amending or replacing the company’s constitution, requires a special resolution (75%) of the shareholders. | ||||
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our Ordinary shares is Computershare Trust Company, N.A. The transfer agent and registrar’s address is 150 Royal Street, Canton, MA 02021, USA.
Listing
Our Ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “IREN”.
S-26
We are registering the Ordinary shares issued to the Selling Holders in connection with the Mirantis Acquisition to permit the resale of such Ordinary shares by such Selling Holders from time to time after the date of this prospectus supplement. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Holders of the Ordinary shares. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register such Ordinary shares.
Each Selling Holder of the securities and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees, transferees, and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities or interests in any securities covered hereby on Nasdaq or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales or dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at privately negotiated prices. A Selling Holder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
• | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
• | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
• | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
• | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
• | privately negotiated transactions; |
• | settlement of short sales; |
• | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Holders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; |
• | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
• | a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
• | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Holders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus supplement.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus supplement, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Holders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Holders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus supplement, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus supplement (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
S-27
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We will not be paying any underwriting discounts or commissions in any offerings pursuant to this prospectus supplement.
Selling Holders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus supplement which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus supplement or any other exemptions from registration under the Securities Act.
We expect to keep this prospectus supplement effective until the earliest to occur of when (a) the date on which all Ordinary shares included in this prospectus supplement have been sold in accordance with this prospectus supplement or (b) at such time as no Ordinary shares remain, when (i) the Ordinary shares have been transferred in accordance with the prospectus supplement filed pursuant to Article 5 of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Ordinary shares have been sold in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in effect), (iii) with respect to a Selling Holder, all such Ordinary shares still held by such Selling Holder are eligible for resale by such Selling Holder, together with its affiliates, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in effect) without any volume, manner of sale or other limitations (including current public information requirements under Rule 144), and (iv) the Ordinary shares have ceased to be outstanding.
The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Holders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the Selling Holders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus supplement available to the Selling Holders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus supplement to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Throughout this prospectus, we use a number of industry terms and concepts which are defined as follows:
• | AI Cloud Services: platforms that provide access to AI/ML capabilities through cloud-based infrastructure. |
• | AI/ML: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) is computer software that mimics human cognitive abilities in order to perform complex tasks, such as decision making, data analysis, language translation and a variety of tools and services across the emergent AI industry that have been developed to leverage AI capabilities. Machine Learning (“ML”) is a subset of AI in which algorithms are trained on data sets to become machine learning models capable of performing specific tasks. |
• | ASICs: An Application Specific Integrated Circuit is a type of integrated circuit that is custom-designed for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use. |
• | Bitcoin: A system of global, decentralized, scarce, digital money as initially introduced in a white paper titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System by Satoshi Nakamoto. |
• | Bitcoin network: The collection of all nodes running the Bitcoin protocol. This includes miners that use computing power to maintain the ledger and add new blocks to the blockchain. |
• | block: A bundle of transactions analogous with digital pages in a ledger. Transactions are bundled into blocks, which are then added to the ledger. Miners are rewarded for “mining” a new block. |
• | blockchain: A software program containing a cryptographically secure digital ledger that maintains a record of all transactions that occur on the network, that enables peer-to-peer transmission of transaction information, and that follows a consensus protocol for confirming new blocks to be added to the blockchain. |
• | Board: The board of directors of IREN Limited. |
• | difficulty: In the context of Bitcoin mining, a measure of the relative complexity of the algorithmic solution required for a miner to mine a block and receive the Bitcoin reward. An increase in global hashrate will temporarily result in faster block times as the mining algorithm is solved quicker – and vice versa if the global hashrate decreases. The Bitcoin network protocol adjusts the network difficulty every 2,016 blocks (approximately every two weeks) to maintain a target block time of 10 minutes. |
• | digital asset: Bitcoin and alternative coins, or “altcoins,” launched after the success of Bitcoin. This category is designed to serve functions including as a medium of exchange, store of value, and/or to power applications. |
• | fiat currency: A government issued currency that is not backed by a physical commodity, such as gold or silver, but rather by the government that issued it. |
• | GPUs: Graphics processing units are a type of computing technology designed for parallel processing, which can be used in a wide range of applications, including graphics and video rendering, gaming, creative production and AI. |
• | hash: To compute a function that takes an input, and then outputs an alphanumeric string known as the “hash value”. |
• | hashrate: The speed at which a miner can produce computations (hashes) using the Bitcoin network’s algorithm, expressed in hashes per second. The hashrate of all miners on a particular network is referred to as the global hashrate. |
• | HPC: High-performance computing, which refers to the aggregation of computing power to achieve higher performance levels, often utilized to perform complex calculations in fields including science, engineering, finance, AI/ML, and business. It typically involves using supercomputers or clusters of computers, often employing parallel processing, to perform calculations simultaneously, thereby greatly reducing computation time. |
3
• | miner: Individuals or entities who operate a computer or group of computers that compete to mine blocks. Bitcoin miners who successfully mine blocks are rewarded with new Bitcoin as well as any transaction fees. |
• | mining: The process by which new Bitcoin blocks are created, and thus new transactions are added to the blockchain in the Bitcoin network. |
• | mining pools: Mining pools are platforms for miners to contribute their hashrate in exchange for digital assets, including Bitcoin, and in some cases regardless of whether the pool effectively mines any block. Miners tend to join pools to increase payout frequency, with pools generally offering daily payouts, and to externalize to the pool the risk of a block taking longer than statistically expected from the network difficulty. Mining pools offers these services in exchange for a fee. |
• | proof-of-stake: An alternative consensus protocol, in which a “validator” typically may use their own digital assets to validate transactions or blocks. Validators may “stake” their digital assets on whichever transactions they choose to validate. If a validator validates a block (group of transactions) correctly, it will receive a reward. Typically, if a validator verifies an incorrect transaction, it may lose the digital assets that it staked. Proof-of-stake generally requires a negligible amount of computing power compared to proof-of-work. |
• | proof-of-work: A protocol for establishing consensus across a system that ties mining capability to computational power. Hashing a block, which is in itself an easy computational process, now requires each miner to solve for a certain difficulty variable periodically adjusted by the Bitcoin network protocol. In effect, the process of hashing each block becomes a competition and, as a result, the overall process of hashing requires time and computational effort. |
• | protocol: The software that governs how a blockchain operates. |
• | REC: Renewable Energy Certificate. |
• | SEC: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. |

Our Company
Overview
We are a leading owner and operator of next-generation data centers powered by 100% renewable energy (whether from clean or renewable energy sources or through the purchase of renewable energy certificates). Our data centers are purpose-built for power dense computing applications and today support a combination of GPUs for HPC and AI services and ASICs for Bitcoin mining.
Our Bitcoin mining operations generate revenue by earning Bitcoin through a combination of block rewards and transaction fees from the operation of our specialized computers called ASICs (which we refer to as “Bitcoin miners”) and exchanging these Bitcoin for fiat currencies such as USD or CAD.
We have been mining Bitcoin since 2019. We typically liquidate all the Bitcoin we mine daily and therefore did not have any Bitcoin held on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. To date we have utilized Kraken, a U.S.-based digital asset trading platform, to liquidate the Bitcoin we mine. The mining pools that we utilize for the purposes of our Bitcoin mining transfer the Bitcoin that we have mined to Kraken on a daily basis. Such Bitcoin is then exchanged for fiat currency on the Kraken exchange or via its over-the-counter trading desk. We have a backup U.S.-based digital asset trading platform, Coinbase, although we have not utilized Coinbase as of June 30, 2025.
We are also pursuing a strategy of expanding and diversifying our revenue sources into HPC and AI services, including through the development of purpose-built AI data centers. Our HPC and AI services include AI Cloud Services, launched in 2024, that generates revenue by providing access to cloud-based GPU computing to customers for AI training and inference workloads.

The following descriptions are summaries of the material terms of our company constitution (“Constitution”). Reference is made to the more detailed provisions of the Constitution. Please note that this summary is not intended to be exhaustive. For further information please refer to the full version of our amended and restated Constitution which is included as an exhibit to this registration statement.
General
IREN Limited was incorporated under the laws of New South Wales, Australia on November 6, 2018, and is an Australian public company (ACN 629 842 799). Our registered address is located at c/o Pitcher Partners, Level 13, 664 Collins Street, Docklands, Victoria, Australia 3008.
We do not have a limit on our authorized share capital and do not recognize the concept of par value under Australian law.
Subject to restrictions on the issue of securities in our Constitution and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations Act”) and any other applicable law, we may at any time issue shares and grant options or warrants on any terms, with the rights and restrictions and for the consideration that the Board determines.
The rights and restrictions attaching to ordinary shares and B Class shares are derived through a combination of our Constitution, the common law applicable to Australia, the Corporations Act and other applicable law. A general summary of some of the rights and restrictions attaching to ordinary shares and B Class shares are summarized below. Each ordinary shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to be present, to vote and to speak at general meetings.
Ordinary Shares
Our ordinary shares and B Class shares will have the rights and restrictions described in “Key Provisions in our Constitution.”
Key Provisions in Our Constitution
Our Constitution is similar in nature to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of a U.S. corporation. It does not provide for or prescribe any specific objectives or purposes for the Company. Our Constitution is subject to the terms of the Corporations Act. It may be amended or repealed and replaced by special resolution of shareholders, which is a resolution passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders (in person or by proxy) entitled to vote on the resolution.
Under Australian law, a company has the legal capacity and powers of an individual both within and outside Australia. The material provisions of our Constitution are summarized below. This summary is not intended to be complete nor to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of our shareholders, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of our Constitution, a copy of which is an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Interested Directors
A director or that director’s alternate who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a directors’ meeting must not be present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or vote in respect of that matter according to our Constitution unless permitted to do so by the Corporations Act, in which case such director may (i) be counted in determining whether or not a quorum is present at any meeting of directors considering that contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement; (ii) sign or countersign any document relating to that contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement; and (iii) vote in respect of, or in respect of any matter arising out of, the contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement.
Unless a relevant exception applies, the Corporations Act requires our directors to provide disclosure of any material personal interest, and prohibits directors from voting on matters in which they have a material personal interest and from being present at the meeting while the matter is being considered, unless directors who do not have a material personal interest in the relevant matter have passed a resolution that identifies the director, the
12
nature and extent of the director’s interest in the matter and its relation to our affairs and states that those directors are satisfied that the interest should not disqualify the director from voting or being present. In addition, the Corporations Act may require shareholder approval of any provision of related party benefits to our directors, unless a relevant exception applies.
Borrowing Powers Exercisable by Directors
Pursuant to our Constitution, the management and control of our business affairs are vested in our Board. Our Board has the power to raise or borrow money or obtain other financial accommodation for the purposes of the Company, and may grant security for the repayment of that sum or sums or the payment, performance or fulfilment of any debts, liabilities, contracts or obligations incurred or undertaken by the Company in any manner and upon any terms and conditions as our Board deems appropriate.
Appointment of Directors
Under the Constitution, the minimum number of directors that may comprise the Board is 3 and the maximum is fixed by the directors but may not be more than 10 (unless otherwise determined by the Board). Directors are elected at annual general meetings of the Company. The directors may also appoint a director to fill a casual vacancy on the Board if the number of directors is below the minimum fixed number of 3, or in addition to the existing directors, who will then hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Company.
Each of Awassi Capital Holdings 1 Pty Ltd ACN 629 820 499 and Awassi Capital Holdings 2 Pty Ltd ACN 629 819 978, or their respective affiliates, who hold a B Class share shall be entitled to designate a nominee for election to the Board (each such nominee, a “Founder Director”). A Founder Director will automatically cease to be a director, and must be immediately removed as a director, if that Founder Director is removed as a director where required under the Corporations Act or our constitution.
Rights and Restrictions on Classes of Shares
The rights attaching to our ordinary shares are detailed in our Constitution. Our Constitution provides that, subject to the Corporations Act and our Constitution, our directors may issue shares with preferential, deferred or special rights, privileges or conditions or with any restrictions, whether in relation to dividends, voting, return of share capital, or otherwise as our Board may determine. Subject to the Corporations Act and our Constitution (see “Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Constitution”), we may issue further shares on such terms and conditions as our Board of directors resolve.
We may only issue preference shares if the rights attaching to the preference shares relating to repayment of capital, participation in surplus assets and profits, cumulative and non-cumulative dividends, voting and priority of payment of capital and dividends in respect of other shares (including ordinary shares) are set out in our Constitution or otherwise approved by special resolution passed at a general meeting.
Dividend Rights
Under the Corporations Act, a company must not pay a dividend unless (i) the company’s assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend; (ii) the payment of the dividend is fair and reasonable to the company’s shareholders as a whole; and (iii) the payment of the dividend does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors. Subject to this requirement, our Board may from time to time determine to pay and declare dividends to shareholders in accordance with the respective rights and restrictions attached to any share or class of share. Each B Class share does not confer on its holder any right to receive dividends.
All dividends unclaimed for one year after the time for payment has passed may be invested or otherwise made use of by our Board for our benefit until claimed or until dealt with under any law relating to unclaimed moneys.
Voting Rights
Voting rights at a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders will be determined by poll (rather than a show of hands).
13
On a poll, holders of ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each ordinary share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share held by the shareholder and in respect.
The holders of B Class shares are entitled to vote at general meetings of shareholders. Each B Class shareholder is entitled on a poll, to 15 votes for each ordinary share held by the holder of a B Class share.
In the case of joint holders of a share, the vote of the joint holder whose name appears first on the register of shareholders in respect of the joint holding shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.
In accordance with the Corporations Act and the provisions of our Constitution, the circumstances in which holders of a class of shares, including holders of ordinary shares, will be entitled to vote separately as a single class are limited to:
• | voting for a variation of class rights that only affect a single share class; |
• | voting for a compromise or arrangement proposed that would affect a certain class of holder, e.g. a plan of arrangement to transfer a class of share to a bidder; and |
• | voting in response to a takeover bid for a specific class of shares. |
Right to Share in Our Profits
Pursuant to our Constitution, our shareholders are entitled to participate in our profits only by payment of dividends in accordance with the respective rights and restrictions attached to any share or class of share. Our Board may from time to time determine to pay dividends to the shareholders. However, any such dividend may only be payable in accordance with the requirements set out in the Corporations Act described above.
Rights to Share in the Surplus in the Event of Winding Up
If the Company is wound up, then subject to any rights or restrictions attached to a class of shares, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company, distribute the whole or any part of the assets and may for that purpose: (i) decide how the assets are to be distributed as between the members or different classes of members; (ii) value the assets to be distributed in such manner as the liquidator thinks fit; and (iii) vest the whole or any part of any assets in such trustees and on such trusts for the benefit of the members entitled to the distribution of those assets as the liquidator thinks fit.
B Class shares shall not confer on their holders any right to participate pro rata in any distribution of profits and assets of, and any proceeds received by, the company in excess of the total amount of capital paid-up by the holders upon issue of such B Class share.
Redemption Provision for Shares
There are no redemption provisions in our Constitution in relation to ordinary shares. Under our Constitution, shares may be issued and allotted, which are liable to be redeemed.
B Class shares will be redeemed by the Company for A$1.00 per B Class share in accordance with the Constitution upon the earlier to occur of the following circumstances:
• | that holder (or its affiliate or founder in respect of such holder) ceases to be a director due to voluntary retirement; |
• | the transfer of any B Class share by that holder (or an affiliate) to another person in breach of the Constitution (which is unremedied within 20 business days); |
• | the liquidation or winding up of the Company; or |
• | the date which is 12 years after the date upon which the company becomes first listed on a recognized stock exchange. |
The redemption of B Class shares, whether voluntary or upon a transfer of B Class shares, may have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of B Class shares who retain their B Class shares. Under the Corporations Act, redeemable preference shares may only be redeemed if those preference shares are fully paid-up and payment in satisfaction of redemption is out of profits or the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purposes of the redemption.
14
Variation or Cancellation of Share Rights
Subject to the Corporations Act and the terms of issue of a class of shares, the rights attaching to any class of shares may be varied or cancelled with the approval of the Board and: (a) the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares included in that class; or (b) by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of those shares.
General Meetings of Shareholders
General meetings of shareholders may be called by our Board. Except as permitted under the Corporations Act, shareholders may not convene a meeting. The Corporations Act requires the directors to call and arrange to hold a general meeting on the request of shareholders with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting. Notice of the proposed meeting of our shareholders is required at least 21 days prior to such meeting under the Corporations Act.
Under the Constitution, a general meeting of shareholders will be properly convened if at least two members are present (which must include each holder of a B Class share from time to time, to the extent such holder is entitled to vote on one or more resolutions at the relevant meeting) and entitled to vote. In addition, under Nasdaq Rule 5605, shareholders holding not less than 33 1/3% of the voting power of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at a company’s annual meeting must be present in order to proceed. The Constitution also provides that, if a provision of the IREN Constitution is not consistent with the listing rules of a stock exchange upon which IREN is listed, then the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency. Accordingly, the quorum requirements in both the Constitution and Nasdaq Rule 5605 must be satisfied in order for to be properly convened.
Foreign Ownership Regulations
Our Constitution does not impose specific limitations on the rights of non-residents to own securities. However, acquisitions and proposed acquisitions of securities in Australian companies may be subject to review and approval by the Australian Federal Treasurer under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) (“FATA”), which generally applies to acquisitions or proposed acquisitions:
• | by a foreign person (as defined in the FATA) or associated foreign persons that would result in such persons having an interest in 20% or more of the issued shares of, or control of 20% or more of the voting power in, an Australian company; or |
• | by a foreign government investor (as defined in the FATA) that would result in such a person having any direct interest (as defined in the FATA) in an Australian company. |
In general terms, for proposals for investment in non-sensitive sectors, no such review or approval under the FATA is required if the foreign acquirer is a U.S. entity and the value of the Australian target is less than A$1,464 million. A lower general A$339 million threshold applies to most other foreign investors. These monetary thresholds apply as at the date of this registration statement but may be amended from time to time (including through indexation).
The Australian Federal Treasurer may prevent a proposed acquisition in the above categories or impose conditions on such acquisition if the Australian Federal Treasurer is satisfied that the acquisition would be contrary to the national interest. If a foreign person acquires shares or an interest in shares in an Australian company in contravention of the FATA, the Australian Federal Treasurer has the power to make a range of orders including an order of the divestiture of such person’s shares or interest in shares in that Australian company.
Share transfers
Subject to the Constitution, shares may be transferred by a proper transfer effected in accordance with the Nasdaq listing rules, by a written instrument of transfer which complies with the Constitution or by any other method permitted by the Corporations Act. The Board may refuse to register a transfer of shares where permitted or required to do so under the Corporations Act or Nasdaq listing rules. B Class shares are not transferable by the holder (other than to an affiliate of that holder).
Issues of Shares and Change in Capital
Subject to our Constitution, the Corporations Act and any other applicable law, we may at any time issue shares and give any person a call or option over any shares on any terms, with preferential, deferred or other special rights,
15
privileges or conditions or with restrictions and for the consideration and other terms that the directors determine. We may only issue preference shares if the rights attaching to the preference shares relating to repayment of capital, participation in surplus assets and profits, cumulative and non-cumulative dividends, voting and priority of payment of capital and dividends in respect of other shares (including ordinary shares) are set out in our Constitution or otherwise approved by special resolution passed at a general meeting of shareholders.
Subject to the requirements of our Constitution, the Corporations Act and any other applicable law, including relevant shareholder approvals, we may consolidate or divide our share capital into a larger or smaller number by resolution, reduce our share capital in any manner (provided that the reduction is fair and reasonable to our shareholders as a whole, does not materially prejudice our ability to pay creditors and obtains the necessary shareholder approval) or buy back our ordinary shares whether under an equal access buy-back or on a selective basis.
Proportional takeover bids
Our Constitution contains provisions for shareholder approval to be required in relation to any proportional takeover bid. These provisions were renewed by special resolution of the shareholders in the most recent general meeting.
Amendment
The Constitution can only be amended by special resolution passed by at least three-quarters of the votes cast by shareholders present (in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote on the resolution at a general meeting of the Company. The Company must give at least 21 days’ written notice of a general meeting of the Company.
Anti-Takeover Effects
Takeovers of Australian public companies that have more than 50 shareholders are regulated by, amongst other things, the Corporations Act which prohibits the acquisition of a relevant interest in issued voting shares in a public company if the acquisition will lead to that person’s or someone else’s voting power in the company increasing from 20% or below to more than 20% or increasing from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%, which we refer to as the Takeover Prohibition, subject to a range of exceptions. Generally, and without limitation, a person will have a “relevant interest” in securities if they:
• | are the holder of the securities (other than if the person holds those securities as a bare trustee); |
• | have power to exercise, or control the exercise of, a right to vote attached to the securities; or |
• | have the power to dispose of, or control the exercise of a power to dispose of, the securities (including any indirect or direct power or control). |
If at a particular time a person has a relevant interest in issued securities and the person (whether before or after acquiring the relevant interest):
• | has entered or enters into an agreement with another person with respect to the securities; |
• | has given or gives another person an enforceable right, or has been or is given an enforceable right by another person, in relation to the securities (whether the right is enforceable presently or in the future and whether or not on the fulfillment of a condition); or |
• | has granted or grants an option to, or has been or is granted an option by, another person with respect to the securities and the other person would have a relevant interest in the securities if the agreement were performed, the right enforced or the option exercised, |
the other person is also taken to have acquired a relevant interest in the securities that are the subject of an abovementioned act, at the time that such act occurs.
There are a number of exceptions to the Takeover Prohibition. In general terms, some of the more significant exceptions include:
• | when the acquisition results from the acceptance of an offer under a formal takeover bid; |
• | when the acquisition is conducted on market by or on behalf of the bidder under a takeover bid and the acquisition occurs during the bid period; |
16
• | when the dis-interested shareholders of the target company approve the takeover by resolution passed at general meeting; |
• | an acquisition by a person if, throughout the six months before the acquisition, that person, or any other person, has had voting power in the company of at least 19% and as a result of the acquisition, none of the relevant persons would have voting power in the company more than 3% higher than they had six months before the acquisition; |
• | as a result of a rights issue; |
• | as a result of dividend reinvestment schemes or bonus share plan; |
• | through operation of law; |
• | an acquisition which arises through the acquisition of a relevant interest in another listed company which is listed on a prescribed financial market; |
• | arising from an auction of forfeited shares conducted on-market; or |
• | arising through a compromise, arrangement, liquidation or buy-back. |
Certain breaches of the takeovers provisions of the Corporations Act may give rise to criminal offences. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the Australian Takeover Panel have a wide range of powers relating to breaches of takeover provisions including the ability to make orders canceling contracts, freezing transfers of, and rights attached to, securities, and forcing a party to dispose of securities. There are certain defenses to breaches of the takeovers provisions provided in the Corporations Act.
Differences in Corporate Law
Set forth below is a comparison of certain shareholder rights and corporate governance matters under Delaware law and Australian law:
Corporate law issue | Delaware law | Australian law | ||||
Special Meetings of Shareholders | Shareholders generally do not have the right to call meetings of shareholders unless that right is granted in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws. However, if a corporation fails to hold its annual meeting within a period of 30 days after the date designated for the annual meeting, or if no date has been designated for a period of 13 months after its last annual meeting, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order a meeting to be held upon the application of a shareholder. | The Corporations Act requires the directors to call a general meeting on the request of shareholders with at least 5% of the vote that may be cast at the general meeting. Shareholders with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at the general meeting may also call and arrange to hold a general meeting. The shareholders calling the meeting must pay the expenses of calling and holding the meeting. | ||||
17
Corporate law issue | Delaware law | Australian law | ||||
Interested Director Transactions | Interested director transactions are permissible and may not be legally voided if: • either a majority of disinterested directors, or a majority in interest of holders of shares of the corporation’s capital shares entitled to vote upon the matter, approves the transaction upon disclosure of all material facts; or • the transaction is determined to have been fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof or the shareholders. | A director or that director’s alternate who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a directors’ meeting must not be present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or vote in respect of that matter unless permitted to do so by the Corporations Act, in which case such director may: • be counted in determining whether or not a quorum is present at any meeting of directors considering that contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement; • sign or countersign any document relating to that contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement; and • vote in respect of, or in respect of any matter arising out of, the contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement. Unless a relevant exception applies, the Corporations Act requires our directors to provide disclosure of any material personal interest, and prohibits directors from voting on matters in which they have a material personal interest and from being present at the meeting while the matter is being considered, unless directors who do not have a material personal interest in the relevant matter have passed a resolution that identifies the director, the nature and extent of the director’s interest in the matter and its relation to our affairs and states that those directors are satisfied that the interest should not disqualify the director from voting or being present. In addition, the Corporations Act may require shareholder approval of any provision of related party benefits to our directors, unless a relevant exception applies. | ||||
18
Corporate law issue | Delaware law | Australian law | ||||
Cumulative Voting | The certificate of incorporation of a Delaware corporation may provide that shareholders of any class or classes or of any series may vote cumulatively either at all elections or at elections under specified circumstances. | No cumulative voting concept for director elections. Voting rights can vary by share class, depending on the terms attaching to the shares under the constitution of the company. Ordinary shares carry one vote (by poll) per share and B Class shares carry 15 votes (by poll) per ordinary share held by the holder. | ||||
Approval of Corporate Matters by Written Consent | Unless otherwise specified in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, shareholders may take action permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting, without a meeting, notice, or a vote, if consents, in writing, setting forth the action, are signed by shareholders with not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting. All consents must be dated and are only effective if the requisite signatures are collected within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered. | Australian public companies cannot pass resolutions by circulating written resolutions. | ||||
Business Combinations | With certain exceptions, a merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all the assets of a Delaware corporation must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. | No requirement for shareholder approval under Australian law, unless the transaction involves a transfer or issue or new shares or other securities to existing shareholders (for example, a business combination through a scrip-for-scrip merger) or a related party (generally, a director or its associates). | ||||
Limitations on Director’s Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers | A Delaware corporation may include in its certificate of incorporation provisions limiting the personal liability of its directors to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for many types of breach of fiduciary duty. However, these provisions may not limit liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, the authorization of unlawful dividends, stock purchases, or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. Moreover, these provisions would not be likely to bar claims arising under U.S. federal securities laws. | Australian law provides that a company or a related body corporate of the company may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent of any of the following liabilities incurred as an officer or director of the company: • a liability owed to the company or a related body corporate of the company; • a liability for a pecuniary penalty order made under section 1317G or a compensation order under section 961M, 1317H, 1317HA or 1317HB of the Corporations Act; a liability that is owed to someone other than the company or a related body corporate of the | ||||

Corporate law issue | Delaware law | Australian law | ||||
A Delaware corporation may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in defense of an action, suit, or proceeding by reason of his or her position if (i) the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. | company and did not arise out of conduct in good faith; or • legal costs incurred in defending an action for a liability incurred as an officer or director of the company if the costs are incurred: ○ in defending or resisting proceedings in which the officer or director is found to have a liability for which they cannot be indemnified as set out above; ○ in defending or resisting criminal proceedings in which the officer or director is found guilty; or ○ in defending or resisting proceedings brought by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission or a liquidator for a court order if the grounds for making the order are found by the court to have been established (except costs incurred in responding to actions taken by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission or a liquidator as part of an investigation before commencing proceedings for a court order); or ○ in connection with proceedings for relief to the officer or a director under the Corporations Act, in which the court denies the relief. | |||||
Appraisal Rights | A shareholder of a Delaware corporation participating in certain major corporate transactions may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights under which the shareholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair value of the shares held by that shareholder (as determined by a court) in lieu of the consideration the shareholder would otherwise receive in the transaction. | No equivalent concept under Australian law, subject to general minority oppression rights under which shareholders can apply to the Courts for an order in respect of Company actions that are unfairly prejudicial to a shareholder. | ||||
20
Corporate law issue | Delaware law | Australian law | ||||
Shareholder Suits | Class actions and derivative actions generally are available to the shareholders of a Delaware corporation for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law. In such actions, the court has discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action. | Shareholders have a number of statutory protections and rights available to them, regardless of the quantity of shares they hold. These include: • the ability to call a meeting of the company and propose resolutions; and • the right to apply to the court for orders in cases where majority shareholders, or the directors, act in an oppressive or unfairly prejudicial manner towards a single shareholder does not have a minimum shareholding requirement, and can result in a broad range of orders, including: ○ the winding up of the company; ○ modification of the company’s constitution; and ○ any other order the court determines to be appropriate. | ||||
Inspection of Books and Records | All shareholders of a Delaware corporation have the right, upon written demand, to inspect or obtain copies of the corporation’s shares ledger and its other books and records for any purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a shareholder. | Any shareholder of the Company has the right to inspect or obtain copies of our share register on the payment of a prescribed fee. Books containing the minutes of general meetings will be kept at our registered office and will be open to inspection of shareholders at all times when the office is required to be open to the public. Other corporate records, including minutes of directors’ meetings, financial records and other documents, are not open for inspection by shareholders (who are not directors). Where a shareholder is acting in good faith and an inspection is deemed to be made for a proper purpose, a shareholder may apply to the court to make an order for inspection of our books. All public companies are required to prepare annual financial reports and directors’ reports for each financial year, | ||||
21
Corporate law issue | Delaware law | Australian law | ||||
and to file these reports with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. | ||||||
Amendments to Charter | Amendments to the certificate of incorporation of a Delaware corporation require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon or such greater vote as is provided for in the certificate of incorporation. A provision in the certificate of incorporation requiring the vote of a greater number or proportion of the directors or of the holders of any class of shares than is required by Delaware corporate law may not be amended, altered or repealed except by such greater vote. | Amending or replacing the company’s constitution, requires a special resolution (75%) of the shareholders. | ||||

We may issue debt securities, which may be secured or unsecured and may be exchangeable for and/or convertible into other securities, including our ordinary shares. The debt securities will be issued under one or more separate indentures between us and a designated trustee. The terms of each series of debt securities being offered, including the terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for other securities, and the material terms of the indenture will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

23
We may issue warrants to purchase our debt or equity securities. The warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent. The terms of any warrants being offered and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth, to the extent required and as applicable, the following terms (non-exhaustive) of the warrants in respect of which the prospectus supplement is delivered:

24
We may issue subscription rights to purchase our securities. The subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any other securities, may be attached to, or separate from, such securities and may or may not be transferable by the shareholder receiving the subscription rights. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any unsubscribed securities after such offering. The terms of any subscription rights being offered will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth, to the extent required and as applicable, the following terms (non-exhaustive) of the subscription rights in respect of which the prospectus supplement is delivered:
• | the exercise price; |
• | the aggregate number of rights to be issued; |
• | the type and number of securities purchasable upon exercise of each right; |
• | the procedures and limitations relating to the exercise of the rights; |
• | the date upon which the exercise of rights will commence; |
• | the record date, if any, to determine who is entitled to the rights; |
• | the expiration date; |
• | the extent to which the rights are transferable; |
• | information regarding the trading of rights, including the stock exchanges, if any, on which the rights will be listed; |
• | the extent to which the subscription rights may include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities; |

• | if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement entered into by us in connection with the offering of the rights; and |

If fewer than all of the subscription rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than shareholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
25
We may issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of debt or equity securities issued by us or securities of third parties, a basket of such securities, an index or indices of such securities or any combination of the above as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Each purchase contract will entitle the holder thereof to purchase or sell, and obligate us to sell or purchase, on specified dates, such securities, currencies or commodities at a specified purchase price, which may be based on a formula, all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. A purchase by us or any of our subsidiaries of ordinary shares pursuant to any such purchase contract shall be subject to certain restrictions under Australian law that generally apply to a repurchase of shares. We may, however, satisfy our obligations, if any, with respect to any purchase contract by delivering the cash value of such purchase contract or the cash value of the property otherwise deliverable or, in the case of purchase contracts on underlying currencies, by delivering the underlying currencies, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will also specify the methods by which the holders may purchase or sell such securities, currencies or commodities and any acceleration, cancellation or termination provisions or other provisions relating to the settlement of a purchase contract.
The purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders thereof or vice versa, which payments may be deferred to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, and those payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The purchase contracts may require the holders thereof to secure their obligations in a specified manner to be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Alternatively, purchase contracts may require holders to satisfy their obligations thereunder when the purchase contracts are issued. Our obligation to settle such pre-paid purchase contracts on the relevant settlement date may constitute indebtedness. Accordingly, pre-paid purchase contracts will be issued under an indenture.
26
As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue units consisting of one or more purchase contracts, warrants, debt securities, preferred shares, ordinary shares or any combination of such securities. The applicable supplement will describe:
• | the terms of the units and of the warrants, debt securities, preferred shares and/or ordinary shares comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be traded separately; |
• | a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units; and |
• | a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units. |
27
Each debt security, warrant and unit will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Certificated securities will be issued in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities, warrants or units represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.
Registered Global Securities
We may issue registered debt securities, warrants and units in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees.
If not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any securities to be represented by a registered global security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.
Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.
So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.
28
Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities, and any payments to holders with respect to warrants or units, represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of IREN, the trustees, the warrant agents, the unit agents or any other agent of IREN, agent of the trustees or agent of the warrant agents or unit agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests.
We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.
If the depositary for any of these securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security that had been held by the depositary. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the relevant trustee, warrant agent, unit agent or other relevant agent of ours or theirs. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security that had been held by the depositary.
29
Selling security holders are persons or entities that, directly or indirectly, have acquired or will from time to time acquire from us, our securities in various private transactions. Such selling security holders may be parties to registration rights agreements with us, or we otherwise may have agreed or will agree to register their securities for resale. The initial purchasers of our securities, as well as their transferees, pledgees, donees or successors, all of whom we refer to as “selling security holders,” may from time to time offer and sell the securities pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.
The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the name of each selling security holder and the number of and type of securities beneficially owned by such selling security holder that are covered by such prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement also will disclose whether any of the selling security holders have held any position or office with, have been employed by or otherwise have had a material relationship with us during the three years prior to the date of the prospectus supplement.
30
We and/or any selling security holder may sell the securities in one or more of the following ways (or in any combination) from time to time:
• | through underwriters or dealers; |
• | directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser; |
• | in “at the market offerings,” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, into an existing trading market on an exchange or otherwise; |
• | through agents; or |
• | through any other method permitted by applicable law and described in the applicable prospectus supplement. |
The prospectus supplement will state the terms of the offering of the securities, including:
• | the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents; |
• | the purchase price of such securities and the proceeds to be received by us, if any; |
• | any underwriting discounts or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation; |
• | any public offering price; |
• | any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and |
• | any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed. |
Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
If underwriters are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including:
• | negotiated transactions; |
• | at a fixed public offering price or prices, which may be changed; |
• | at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
• | at prices related to prevailing market prices; or |
• | at negotiated prices. |
Unless otherwise stated in a prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase any securities will be conditioned on customary closing conditions and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of such series of securities, if any are purchased.
The securities may be sold through agents from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and any commissions paid to them. Generally, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
Sales to or through one or more underwriters or agents in at-the-market offerings will be made pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement with the underwriters or agents. Such underwriters or agents may act on an agency basis or on a principal basis. During the term of any such agreement, shares may be sold on a daily basis on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the ordinary shares are traded, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise as agreed with the underwriters or agents. The distribution agreement will provide that any ordinary share sold will be sold at negotiated prices or at prices related to the then prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares. Therefore, exact figures regarding proceeds that will be raised or commissions to be paid cannot be determined at this time and will be described in a prospectus supplement. Pursuant to the terms of the distribution agreement, we may also agree to sell, and the relevant underwriters or agents may agree to solicit offers to purchase, blocks of our ordinary shares or other securities. The terms of each such distribution agreement will be described in a prospectus supplement.
31
We and/or any selling security holder may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions paid for solicitation of these contracts.
Underwriters and agents may be entitled under agreements entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the underwriters or agents may be required to make.
The prospectus supplement may also set forth whether or not underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market, including, for example, by entering stabilizing bids, effecting syndicate covering transactions or imposing penalty bids.
Underwriters and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
Each series of securities will be a new issue of securities and will have no established trading market, other than our ordinary shares, which are listed on Nasdaq. Any underwriters to whom securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. The securities, other than our ordinary shares, may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange.

The validity of certain securities and certain other matters with respect to Australian law have been passed upon for us by Allens, located at Level 28, 126 Phillip Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia. The validity of certain securities and certain matters with respect to U.S. federal and New York State law have been passed upon for us by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, located at 450 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017. Any underwriters, dealers or agents will be advised by their own legal counsel concerning issues relating to any offering.

We are a public company incorporated under the laws of Australia with limited liability. Some or all of our directors may be non-residents of the United States and substantially all of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible or practicable for you to:
• | effect service of process within the United States upon our non-U.S. resident directors or on us; |
• | enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against our non-U.S. resident directors or us in U.S. courts in any action, including actions under the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; |
• | enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against our non-U.S. resident directors or us in courts of jurisdictions outside the United States in any action, including actions under the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; or |
• | bring an original action in an Australian court to enforce liabilities against our non-U.S. resident directors or us based solely upon U.S. securities laws. |
You may also have difficulties enforcing in courts outside the United States judgments that are obtained in U.S. courts against any of our non-U.S. resident directors or us, including actions under the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. Australia has developed a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States and may provide protections for investors to a lesser extent.
It may be difficult (or impossible in some circumstances) for Australian companies to commence court action or proceedings before the federal courts of the United States or other jurisdiction in which it conducts business or has assets. This may make it difficult for us to recover amounts we are owed and to generally enforce our rights, which may have an adverse impact on our operations and financial standing. Even where we are able to enforce our rights, this may be costly and/or time consuming, risky, and may not guarantee recovery, which in turn may have an adverse impact on our operations and financial standing.
There are no treaties between Australia and the United States that would affect the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments in Australia. We also note that investors may be able to bring an original action in an Australian court against us to enforce liabilities based in part upon U.S. federal securities laws.
The disclosures in this section are not based on the opinion of counsel.
We have appointed Cogency Global Inc. as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us under the federal securities laws of the United States.
