Hyperscale Data's assets and operations include, among other things:
- A
Michigan -based data center campus that currently has approximately 30 megawatts ("MWs") of available power capacity, which management believes, with the requisite financing, customers' lease executions, clearing certain regulatory hurdles including executing agreements with local utility providers, none of which are assured, could expand over time to over 300 MWs of power capacity; - AI and high-performance computing infrastructure initiatives;
- Bitcoin mining and digital asset treasury operations;
- Robotics and embodied AI initiatives through Omnipresent Robotics, LLC;
- Financial technology, lending and digital asset platforms through subsidiaries and affiliated entities; and
- Various operating businesses and strategic investments owned directly or indirectly by the Company through its subsidiaries.
The Company stated that it is reviewing numerous potential strategic and financial options, which may include, among other things, share repurchases, issuer tender offers, structured capital return programs, strategic partnerships, financings, acquisitions, divestitures other than the Divestiture described below, joint ventures, or other transactions designed to maximize long-term stockholder value. The Company emphasized that all strategic and financial alternatives remain under consideration.
"There continues to be a significant disconnect between Hyperscale Data's public valuation and what we believe are the underlying values of our balance sheet, infrastructure assets and operating businesses," said Milton "Todd" Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. "With nearly
Mr. Ault continued, "Accordingly, we are considering a wide range of strategic alternatives intended to unlock value for stockholders, including the potential for various capital allocation initiatives. We believe Hyperscale Data has strategic flexibility that many companies in our sector simply do not possess. All options remain on the table as we evaluate the best path forward for stockholders."
The Company emphasized that there can be no assurance that any strategic alternative, transaction or capital allocation initiative will ultimately be pursued or completed, and Hyperscale Data does not intend to disclose developments regarding this process unless and until its Board of Directors has approved a specific course of action or disclosure is otherwise deemed appropriate or required.

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,
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.
