Press Release

Argo Blockchain plc
("Argo" or "the Company")
Change in Executive Management and Board Resignation
Argo Blockchain plc, a global leader in cryptocurrency mining (LSE:
ARB; NASDAQ: ARBK), announces that Peter Wall is stepping down from
his positions as Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chairman to
pursue other opportunities. Argo intends to engage an executive
search firm to assist with the process of selecting a Chief
Executive Officer and will update the market in due course. The
Board has appointed Chief Operating Officer Seif El-Bakly, CFA, as
Interim CEO, and Mr. Wall has agreed to remain as an advisor to
Argo over the next three months to support the transition. Matthew
Shaw has been appointed Chairman of the Board.
Matthew Shaw said: "Peter
has created a strong foundation for Argo which is a confident
organisation full of talented people, aligned behind a clear
strategy and focused on delivering profitable growth and market
share gains. On behalf of the Board and everyone at Argo, I would
like to thank Peter for his many achievements and wish him every
future success."
Peter Wall said: "It has been a
great privilege to have led Argo Blockchain over the past three
years. It has been quite a journey, and we have come a long
way. I
am pleased to have recently led the successful Galaxy deal,
and I
thank all my colleagues at Argo for their dedication, support, and
enthusiasm in driving Argo forward. Onwards and
upwards!"
Board Resignation
Argo also announces that Sarah Gow has resigned from her position
as non-executive director on the Board due to health reasons. The
Board thanks Mrs Gow for her valuable contributions to Argo since
joining the board in July 2021 and wishes her all the
best.
Sarah Gow said: "It has been a tremendous privilege to serve on the
Board of Argo, and I wish the Company every success for the
future."
