Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

BlackRidge Technology International, Inc. (the “Company”) filed voluntary petition (the “Bankruptcy Petition”) for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on March 13, 2020.

The Company will continue to operate its businesses as debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Management intends to continue to run day-to-day business operations pursuant to a debtor-in-possession financing described below, however, all business actions taken outside of the ordinary course of business must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

In connection with the Chapter 11 case, the Company plans to file a motion seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing on terms yet to be determined (the “DIP Credit Facility”). The DIP Credit Facility, if approved by the Bankruptcy Court, after notice and hearings would provide for senior secured super priority term loans to be used to finance the continued operations of the Company.
