Riot Blockchain, Inc. (the "Company") has made available a presentation about its business, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.
The information contained in the presentation is summary information that should be considered in the context of the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public announcements the Company may make by press release or otherwise from time to time. The presentation speaks as of the date of this Report. While the Company may elect to update the presentation in the future to reflect events and circumstances occurring or existing after the date of this Report, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so.
The presentation contains forward-looking statements, and as a result, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The Company is also furnishing, as Exhibit 99.2 of this report, a form of its amended and restated goNumerical Ltd. shareholder agreement, in order to provide investors an understanding of the rights and obligations associated with its investment in approximately 12.9% of goNumerical Ltd.

About Riot Blockchain
Information reported in this Current Report on Form 8-K is limited to the scope of the information reportable under a Current Report on Form 8-K under the rules and regulations of the Commission. Please refer to the additional information concerning the Company referenced in the following notices and safe harbor provision for material risks and other uncertainties.
Investor Notice
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements under "CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND STATEMENTS" and that are described under "Risk Factors" in Part II, Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017 filed with the Commission on November 13, 2017 and subsequently. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. See "Safe Harbor" below.
Safe Harbor
The information provided in this report may include forward-looking statements relating to future events or the future financial performance of the Company. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Words such as "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends," "will," "potential," "hope" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations of the Company and involve assumptions that may never materialize or may prove to be incorrect. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties. Detailed information regarding factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by statements in report relating to the Company may be found in the Company's periodic filings with the Commission, including the factors described in the sections entitled "Risk Factors", copies of which may be obtained from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this report.
