Hyperscale Data, Inc. Announces Intent to Launch
Exchange Offer to Acquire Up to $50,000,000 of Outstanding Shares for Cash and New Preferred Shares
Company Moves to Address Significant Gap Between
Market Value and Balance Sheet Strength
LAS VEGAS--(PR NEWSWIRE) – November 9, 2026
– Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center company (“Hyperscale
Data” or the “Company”), today announced that it intends to commence an exchange offer to purchase up to
192,307,692 shares of its Class A Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) in exchange for units (the
“Units”) consisting of (a) $2.00 in cash and (b) one share of preferred stock with a stated value of $24.00 per share
(the “Preferred Stock”), per 100 shares of Common Stock. The Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an annual
dividend of 12.00%.
Stockholders will be able to exchange blocks of 100
shares of Common Stock for one Unit consisting of (a) $2.00 in cash and (b) one share of Preferred Stock which values the Common Stock
at $0.26 per share and represents an 82% premium to the November 6, 2026, closing price of $0.1429. The exchange offer will require that
a minimum of 100 million shares of Common Stock be tendered by common stockholders.
The Company will seek to list the Preferred Stock
on the NYSE American. If the application to list the Preferred Stock is approved by the NYSE American, trading in the Preferred Stock
is expected to commence within a 30-day period after the approval of listing.
The Company expects to formally launch the proposed
exchange offer around November 17, 2026, subject to board approval, regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. The proposed
exchange offer reflects Hyperscale’s view that its current market valuation does not accurately reflect the strength of its balance
sheet, including its holdings of cash and Bitcoin.
Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman
of Hyperscale Data, stated:
“We believe there is a material disconnect between
the intrinsic value of Hyperscale and where our Common Stock is currently trading.
“The exchange offer is intended to provide shareholders
with an opportunity for liquidity and an instrument that will allow stockholders to participate in the long-term growth of the Company
while receiving a fixed payment. The exchange offer will, if consummated, also allow the Company to repurchase a meaningful percentage
of its shares at what we believe are significantly undervalued levels. We believe this is a disciplined and shareholder-focused use of
capital.”
Details regarding the proposed exchange offer and
instructions for stockholders interested in participating will be provided in the Offer to Exchange and related documents, which will
be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and distributed to the Company stockholders.
The exchange offer will not be made to any person
in any jurisdiction in which either the exchange offer, or solicitation or sale thereof, is unlawful. This press release is for informational
purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to buy or sell Common Stock or any other securities. Any solicitation of offers to buy
the Common Stock will only be made pursuant to an Offer to Exchange and related materials to be sent to the Company stockholders on the
commencement of the exchange offer. Company stockholders should read such materials carefully when they become available because they
will contain important information, including the terms and conditions of the proposed exchange offer. The tender offer documents will
be available without charge at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and will be delivered without charge to all stockholders
of the Company who so request it.
It is anticipated that the exchange offer will be
made pursuant to the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 3(a)(9)
thereof. Under that exemption, if Common Stock exchanged is freely tradeable, the Preferred Stock received in exchange therefor will be
freely tradeable. If the Common Stock is restricted, the Preferred Stock will be restricted to the same degree.

Hyperscale Data recommends that stockholders, investors and any other interested parties read Hyperscale Data’s public filings and

About Hyperscale Data,
Inc.
Through its wholly owned
subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it offers colocation and hosting services for the
emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Another of Hyperscale Data’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“ACG”),
is a hybrid private equity firm and operating company that acquires, finances, builds and actively manages businesses across financial
services, digital assets, industrial services, hospitality, defense technologies and other sectors.
Hyperscale Data currently
expects the divestiture of ACG (the “Divestiture”) to occur in 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
and the third wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Omnipresent Robotics, LLC. 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.
