Hyperscale Data Enters into an Agreement for a Financing of up to $25 Million - Hyperscale Data (AMEX:GPUS)
LAS VEGAS, Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hyperscale Data, Inc. GPUS, a diversified holding company ("Hyperscale Data" or the "Company"), announced today that it has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") providing for up to $25 million of financing (the "Financing") from Ault & Company, Inc., a related party ("A&C"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Hyperscale Data has agreed to issue and sell to A&C up to $25 million in shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares"). The Preferred Shares will be senior to all other classes of preferred stock the Company has outstanding except with respect to the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock"), with which it ranks in parity, as well as senior to the Company's Class A common stock ("Common Stock"). Each Preferred Share shall have a stated value of $1,000.00 per share and, upon stockholder approval, shall be convertible at the holder's option into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.10 per share (the "Floor Price"), which Floor Price shall not, except for voting rights purposes, be adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions and (ii) the lesser of (A) $6.74, or (B) a 5% premium to the closing sale price of the Common stock on the day immediately prior to the date of conversion (the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price will be subject to standard anti-dilution provisions in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision or similar reclassification of the Common Stock. The Preferred Stock also has "full ratchet" price protection in the event the Company should issue securities at a lower price than the Conversion Price. The Preferred Stock shall pay a dividend at an annual rate of 9.5%, which the Company may, during the first two years, pay in shares of Common Stock. Further, A&C will receive warrants ("Warrants") to purchase up to approximately 4.25 million shares of Common Stock, presuming that the full amount of the Preferred Shares is sold, exercisable for five years at $5.92 per share, subject to adjustment. The proceeds from the Financing will be used for expansion of the MI data center to support infrastructure upgrades necessary to support the growing demands of high-performance computing services powering Artificial Intelligence solutions, repayment of outstanding indebtedness and general working capital purposes. "The conversion price of the Preferred Shares is nearly a 25% premium over the current market price. That A&C is willing to invest an additional up to $25 million, beyond the $75 million in shares of a virtually identical series of preferred stock, the Series C Preferred Stock of which it has already purchased approximately $50 million, on those terms should be a clear indicator of our belief that the market has been undervaluing the Company, which I've been highlighting for years. This transaction is more than a number -- it's a declaration of my steadfast confidence in our data centers, the crane company, the lending firm, and the exceptional portfolio companies we've nurtured over the past seven years. Each is a vital component of our collective success," said Milton "Todd" Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data and Chairman & CEO of A&C. The Agreement provides for several closings through December 31, 2025, though such dates may be extended by A&C as set forth in the Agreement. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, specifically the conversion of the Preferred Shares and the exercise of the Warrants in an aggregate number in excess of 19.99% on the execution date of the Agreement, are subject to various customary closing conditions as well as regulatory and stockholder approval. In addition to customary closing conditions, the closing of the Financing is also conditioned upon the receipt by A&C of financing to consummate the transaction. Additional information regarding the securities described above and the terms of the Financing will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Preferred Shares and Warrants will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") as promulgated by SEC under the Securities Act. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor will there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

Hyperscale Data Inc. sells a $13 million property in St. Petersburg and secures up to $25 million in financing to transition into a pureplay data center business supporting AI and high-performance computing services.
Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS) is making significant moves to transform itself into a pureplay data center business focused on supporting high-performance computing (HPC) services for Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions. The company has recently completed two major transactions that highlight this strategic shift.
On December 16, 2024, Hyperscale Data announced the sale of its St. Petersburg development property for $13 million through its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, Third Avenue Apartments LLC 1. This sale is part of the company's ongoing efforts to reorganize its holdings and focus on its data center operations.
Milton "Todd" Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, stated, "As we previously told stockholders, this is a step in the right direction for the Company and its future as we focus our energy on our data center operations" 1. The company plans to hold approximately $11 million from the sale in a segregated account, bringing the total balance to about $18.3 million.
In a separate announcement on December 23, 2024, Hyperscale Data revealed that it had entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Ault & Company, Inc. (A&C), a related party, for up to $25 million in financing 2. This agreement involves the issuance and sale of up to $25 million in shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock to A&C.
The Preferred Shares will have a stated value of $1,000 per share and will be convertible into common stock at a conversion price that is the greater of $0.25 per share or a 5% premium to the closing sale price of the common stock on the day prior to conversion, capped at $6.00 2. Additionally, A&C will receive warrants to purchase up to approximately 4 million shares of common stock, exercisable for five years at $5.00 per share.
The proceeds from this financing will be used for:
This strategic shift by Hyperscale Data underscores the growing importance of data centers in supporting AI and high-performance computing services. As the demand for AI-powered solutions continues to rise, companies like Hyperscale Data are positioning themselves to provide the necessary infrastructure and services.
Ault emphasized the significance of this move, stating, "This transaction is more than a number -- it's a declaration of my steadfast confidence in our data centers, the crane company, the lending firm, and the exceptional portfolio companies we've nurtured over the past seven years" 2.
Hyperscale Data's recent transactions signal a clear intent to focus on the burgeoning AI and high-performance computing market. By divesting non-core assets and securing substantial financing, the company is positioning itself to become a key player in providing the infrastructure necessary for the next generation of AI-powered technologies.
