Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Blue Safari Group Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“Blue Safari” or the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 15, 2021, Blue Safari entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Original Merger Agreement”), dated as of December 15, 2021, with (i) Bitdeer Technologies Group, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“BTG”), (ii) Blue Safari Merge Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTG (“Merger Sub 1”), (iii) Blue Safari Merge II Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTG (“Merger Sub 2”), (iv) Bitdeer Merge Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTG (“Merger Sub 3”), (v) Blue Safari Mini Corp., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Safari (“SPAC Sub”), and (vi) Bitdeer Technologies Holding Company, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Bitdeer”).

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Blue Safari with the SEC on May 31, 2022, Blue Safari entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “First Amendment”, and the Original Merger Agreement as amended by such First Amendment, the “First Amended Merger Agreement”) dated as of May 30, 2022 with BTG, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Merger Sub 3, SPAC Sub and Bitdeer, to amend the Original Merger Agreement.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Blue Safari with the SEC on December 2, 2022, Blue Safari entered into a Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Second Amendment”, and the First Amended Merger Agreement as amended by such Second Amendment, the “Second Amended Merger Agreement”) dated as of December 2, 2022 with BTG, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Merger Sub 3, SPAC Sub and Bitdeer, to amend the First Amended Merger Agreement.

On March 7, 2023, Blue Safari entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Third Amendment”, and the Second Amended Merger Agreement as amended by such Third Amendment, the “Third Amended Merger Agreement”) with BTG, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Merger Sub 3, SPAC Sub and Bitdeer, to amend the Second Amended Merger Agreement. The Third Amendment revises the definition of “Per Share Equity Value” to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) US$1,180,000,000 by (ii) the total shares of BTG. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the parties thereto also agreed to remove the American Depository Share structure previously contemplated under the Second Amended Merger Agreement and instead issue ordinary shares of BTG as considerations to be paid pursuant to the Third Amended Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Third Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Amendment, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on December 2, 2022, pursuant to second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company, in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate the initial business combination, the Company must deposit US$0.15 for each public Class A ordinary share that has not been redeemed into the trust account for each three-month extension. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, Bitdeer agreed to provide certain interest-free loans with an aggregate principal amount of US$2,584,141 to the Company to fund any amount that may be required in order to further extend the period of time available for the Company to consummate a business combination and for the Company’s working capital.

The Company has made a deposit of US$257,758.20 to the trust account and extended the date by which the Company has to complete a business combination from March 14, 2023 to June 14, 2023. Following such deposit, the amount of funds remaining in the trust account is approximately US$18.6 million.

Such statements are typically identified by words such as “will,” “are expected to,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “pro forma,” “outlook” or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) between Blue Safari and Bitdeer, including the expected transactions and the likelihood, timing and ability of the parties to successfully consummate the proposed Business Combination. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of Blue Safari’s and Bitdeer’s management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond Blue Safari’s or Bitdeer’s control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Nothing in this Current Report should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Except as may be required by law, neither Blue Safari nor Bitdeer undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.

In connection with the proposed Business Combination, Blue Safari intends to file relevant materials with the SEC, including a proxy statement which will be part of a registration statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”) to register securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination, and will file other documents regarding the proposed Business Combination with the SEC. Blue Safari’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement to be filed in connection with the proposed Business Combination, as these materials will contain important information about Bitdeer, Blue Safari, and the proposed Business Combination.
