(NASDAQ: ANY), a company delivering containerization, virtualization, and data management solutions, today announced that it entered into an $11 million equity purchase agreement and registration rights agreement with Oasis Capital, LLC, a Puerto Rico limited liability company ("Oasis Capital"), to purchase from the Company up to Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000.00) of the Company's Common Stock.

Under the purchase agreement, Sphere 3D has the right to sell up to $11 million of its stock to Oasis Capital over a 36-month period, upon satisfaction of the conditions in the purchase agreement, including the effectiveness of a resale registration statement being filed on Form S1. Sphere 3D will control the timing and amount of any sales to Oasis Capital, and Oasis Capital is obligated to make purchases in accordance with the purchase agreement, upon certain terms and conditions being met.
