Temporary Receiver Eric Johnson (“Temporary Receiver”) submits this Notice of Final

Disbursement and Request for Authorization to Transfer Remaining Reserve Funds to BF Labs,

Inc. In support of this Notice, the Temporary Receiver states the following:

1. On December 23, 2014, the Court entered its Order that set forth several wind-

down procedures of the Temporary Receivership (the “Wind Down Order”). Doc. 218.

2. On August 12, 2015, the Court entered its Order which resolved both the

outstanding fee issues and other miscellaneous matters related to the discharge and termination

of the Temporary Receivership (the “Final Accounting Order’) (Doc. 353).

3. Pursuant to the Final Accounting Order, the Temporary Receiver has made the

following disbursements from the Receiver Reserve Account:

Amount Allowed Amount Already Remaining Amount Paid Paid Temporary Receiver 168,278.25 66,248.00 102,030.25 Spencer Fane 546,972.75 292,642.39 254,330.36 RubinBrown 137,703.88 84,279.61 53,424.27 UnitedLex 59,108.17 39,491,359 23,616.78 BKD 14,151.91 7,411.07 6,740.84

4, After such distributions, their remains approximately $72,638.65 in the Receiver Reserve Account (the “Remaining Funds’). The Wind Down Order provides the Final Accounting Order will direct where the Remaining Funds should be transferred.

a. The Final Accounting Order is silent as to where the Temporary Receiver should direct the Remaining Funds. As such, the Temporary Receiver requests authorization to pay any remaining banking fees associated with the Reserve Account from the Remaining Funds and to transfer any remaining amounts to BF Labs, Inc. upon receiving a written direction from BF Labs, Inc. designating which bank account it wishes the funds to be transferred. The Temporary Receiver also seeks authorization to close the Reserve Account. The Temporary Receiver will submit a Certificate of Compliance upon completing such actions.

WHEREFORE, the Temporary Receiver requests an Order authorizing (i) the payment of any remaining banking fees associated with the Reserve Account from the Remaining Funds and transfer any remaining funds back to BF Labs, Inc. as set forth above and (ii) the closure of the

Reserve Account, and such other and further relief as may be just and necessary.
