To provide investors with greater visibility into the progress of the development of the Michigan Campus, Hyperscale Data also announced that it intends to begin publishing monthly Michigan AI infrastructure progress reports, which are expected to include updates on the balance of the Michigan Reserve Account, capital deployed during the reporting period from the Michigan Reserve Account, progress on the requisite construction and other significant development milestones related to the Michigan Campus. The first such report is expected to be issued in July 2026.

As previously announced, the MSA has an initial term of 10 years with two five-year extension options that may be exercised by the customer (collectively, the "Maximum Term") and initially contemplates approximately 20 megawatts ("MW") of critical AI compute capacity. If exercised for the Maximum Term, the MSA is expected to generate in excess of

Mr. Ault continued, "We expect the Michigan Reserve Account to continue growing over time as we allocate additional capital to support infrastructure development. Our objective is to provide investors with regular, measurable updates as we continue building what we believe will become one of

About Hyperscale Data, Inc.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data's other wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc. ("ACG"), is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.
Hyperscale Data currently expects the divestiture of ACG (the "Divestiture") to occur in the second quarter of 2027. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, as well as a holder of the digital assets. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through Ault Lending, LLC, a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data's headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.
On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Series F Preferred Stock") to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the "ACG Shares"). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be shareholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.
