Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY) shares rose 12.65% to $2.76 after the bell on Tuesday after the digital infrastructure and cryptocurrency mining company announced it entered a securities purchase agreement expected to raise $5 million.

According to the announcement made by Sphere 3D after the market closed on Tuesday, the amount will be raised through the sale of 1.66 million units at $3 each, a 29% premium to the company’s Sep. 4 closing price.
