On December 17, 2015, MGT Capital Investments, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with a current stockholder and another investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct offering a total of 688,556 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock at a price per share of $0.25. The Company has not engaged an underwriter or placement agent in connection with this offering.

The offering is expected to close on or about December 22, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions contained in the Purchase Agreements. The Purchase Agreements also contain customary representations, warranties and agreements by us and the purchasers, indemnification obligations for us, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreements is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Purchase Agreements, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Purchase Agreements contain representations and warranties that the respective parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, the other parties thereto in the context of all of the terms and conditions of that agreement and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties. The provisions of the Purchase Agreements, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreements or as stated therein and are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to those documents and agreements. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A copy of the opinion of Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP relating to the validity of the issuance and sale of the Shares is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. The offer and sale of the Shares was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (SEC File No. 333-182298), which became effective on September 25, 2012, and a prospectus supplement thereto dated December 17, 2015.
