From March 2021 to August 2024, Mr. Downs served as a member of the board of directors and Chair of the Audit Committee of EBET, Inc.

(Nasdaq: EBET), a technology company developing and operating platforms focused on esports and competitive gaming. From April 2018 to

He holds an M.B.A. from Columbia Business School, an M.S. in Accounting from the University of Houston–Clear Lake and a B.S. in

Mr. Downs will provide

services to the Company as Interim Chief Financial Officer through Lincoln Hall Advisors, of which Mr. Downs is the President and sole

member, pursuant to a Consulting Agreement, entered into as of August 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), between the Company

and Lincoln Hall Advisors (the “Consulting Agreement”). The term (the “Term”) of the Consulting Agreement began

on the Effective Date and will continue until either the Company or Lincoln Hall Advisors terminates the agreement, which either party

may do at any time, for any reason or no reason, by giving the other party 30 days’ prior written notice of such termination. Mr.

Downs will serve as an independent contractor and will not be an employee of the Company. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, until

the Board appointed him as Interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Downs served as a consultant to the Company beginning on the Effective

Date in connection with the Company’s finances, reporting and uplisting activities.

In consideration

average price (the “VWAP”) of the Common Stock on the OTCQB Marketplace for all trading days during such calendar month,

as reported by Bloomberg L.P., rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each monthly issuance shall be fully vested on its date of grant.

Pursuant to the terms

of the Consulting Agreement, Lincoln Hall Advisors will not, during or subsequent to the Term, (i) use Confidential Information (as defined

in the Consulting Agreement) for any purpose whatsoever other than the performance of the services described in the Consulting Agreement

on behalf of the Company or (ii) disclose Confidential Information to any third party. In addition, Lincoln Hall Advisors agrees that

it will not, during the Term, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or current employer

of Lincoln Hall Advisors or other person or entity with which Lincoln Hall Advisors has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information

acquired by Lincoln Hall Advisors, if any. In addition, from the Effective Date until 12 months after the termination of the Consulting

Agreement, Lincoln Hall Advisors will not, without the Company’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage

any employee or contractor of the Company or its affiliates to terminate employment with, or cease providing services to, the Company

or its affiliates.

Pursuant to the terms

of the Consulting Agreement, Lincoln Hall Advisors has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers

and employees from and against all taxes, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other

legal expenses, arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with (i) any grossly negligent, reckless or intentionally wrongful

act of Lincoln Hall Advisors, Mr. Downs, or Lincoln Hall Advisors’ other assistants, employees or agents, (ii) any material breach

by Lincoln Hall Advisors, Mr. Downs, or Lincoln Hall Advisors’ other assistants, employees or agents of any of the covenants contained

in the Consulting Agreement, (iii) any failure of Lincoln Hall Advisors to perform the Services in accordance with all applicable laws,

rules and regulations. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Lincoln Hall Advisors and Mr. Downs from and

against all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses (which shall be

advanced as incurred), arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with (i) the Services or Mr. Downs’ service as an officer

of the Company, except to the extent resulting from matters for which Lincoln Hall Advisors is obligated to indemnify the Company, (ii)

any grossly negligent, reckless or intentionally wrongful act of the Company or its directors, officers, employees or agents (other than

Lincoln Hall Advisors and Mr. Downs), or (iii) any determination by a court or agency that Lincoln Hall Advisors or Mr. Downs is an employee

of the Company, including any resulting taxes, penalties, or interest. In addition, pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, the Company is required to cause Mr. Downs, in his capacity as

Interim Chief Financial Officer and an officer of the Company, to be covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’

liability insurance on terms no less favorable than those applicable to any other officer of the Company, including customary “tail”

coverage for a period of not less than six years following termination of the Consulting Agreement, and to enter into the Company’s

standard form of officer indemnification agreement with Mr. Downs.

CONSULTING

AGREEMENT

THIS

CONSULTING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of August 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and between

Vertical Data Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), and Lincoln Hall Advisors LLC, a Wyoming limited liability

company (“Consultant”). The Company desires to retain Consultant as an independent contractor to perform consulting services

for the Company, and Consultant is willing to perform such services, on the terms described below. In consideration of the mutual promises

contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.

Services and Compensation.

A. Services.

Consultant agrees to perform for the Company the services described in Exhibit A (the

“Services”), and the Company agrees to pay Consultant the compensation described

in Exhibit A for Consultant’s performance of the Services.

B.

Key Person. The Company is entering into this Agreement in reliance on the Company’s

desire to retain the services of Christopher S. Downs (the “Key Person”). Consultant

shall cause the Key Person to perform the Services on Consultant’s behalf and shall

not substitute another individual to perform the Services without the Company’s prior

written consent. References in this Agreement to the actions, obligations, representations,

and covenants of Consultant include those of the Key Person and any other partners, members,

employees, or agents of Consultant who perform the Services or otherwise act on Consultant’s

behalf under this Agreement.

2.

Confidentiality.

A.

Definition. “Confidential Information” means any non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business

or research and development of the Company, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product

plans or other information regarding Company's products or services and markets therefor, customer lists and customers (including, but

not limited to, customers of the Company on whom Consultant called or with whom Consultant became acquainted during the term of this

Agreement), software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawing, engineering, hardware configuration

information, marketing, finances or other business information. Confidential Information does not include information that (i) is known

to Consultant at the time of disclosure to Consultant by the Company as evidenced by written records of Consultant, (ii) has become publicly

known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Consultant or (iii) has been rightfully received by Consultant from a third

party who is authorized to make such disclosure, or (iv) is required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable law, regulation, or legal

process, provided that Consultant gives the Company prompt written notice thereof (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable cooperation,

at the Company’s expense, in seeking confidential treatment.

B.

Nonuse and Nondisclosure. Consultant will not, during or subsequent to the term of this Agreement, (i) use the Confidential Information

for any purpose whatsoever other than the performance of the Services on behalf of the Company or (ii) disclose the Confidential Information

to any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant and the Key Person may use and disclose Confidential Information in the

performance of the Services as directed or authorized by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Board of Directors, including

disclosures to banks, lenders, investors, potential acquirors, underwriters, auditors, advisors, and other third parties in connection

with diligence, financing, capital markets, or strategic transactions, and no such authorized use or disclosure shall constitute a breach

of this Agreement. Consultant agrees that all Confidential Information will remain the sole property of the Company. Consultant also

agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information. Without the Company’s

prior written approval, Consultant will not directly or indirectly disclose to anyone the existence of this Agreement or the fact that

Consultant has this arrangement with the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict (i) any disclosure required

by applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange requirement, including in connection with the Company’s disclosure obligations

under the federal securities laws, or (ii) following the Company’s first public disclosure of this Agreement or the engagement,

Consultant identifying the Company as a client and describing the general nature of the Services.

C.

Former or Current Client Confidential Information. Consultant agrees that Consultant will not, during the term of this Agreement,

improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or current employer of Consultant or other person

or entity with which Consultant has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by Consultant, if any. Consultant

also agrees that Consultant will not bring onto the Company’s premises any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging

to any such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.

D.

Third Party Confidential Information. Consultant recognizes that the Company has received and, in the future, will receive from third

parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of

such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Consultant agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter,

Consultant owes the Company and such third parties a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence

and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Services for the Company

consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party.

E.

Return of Materials. Upon the termination of this Agreement, or upon Company’s earlier request, Consultant will deliver to

the Company all of the Company’s property, including but not limited to all electronically stored information and passwords to

access such property, or Confidential Information that Consultant may have in Consultant’s possession or control.

3.

Conflicting Obligations.

A.

Conflicts. Consultant certifies that Consultant has no outstanding agreement or obligation that is in conflict with any of the provisions

of this Agreement or that would preclude Consultant from complying with the provisions of this Agreement. Consultant will not enter into

any such conflicting agreement during the term of this Agreement. Consultant’s violation of this Section 3.A will be considered

a material breach under Section 5.B.

B.

Substantially Similar Designs. In view of Consultant’s access to the Company’s trade secrets and proprietary know-how,

Consultant agrees that Consultant will not, without Company’s prior written approval, design identical or substantially similar

designs as those developed under this Agreement for any third party during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 24 months after

the termination of this Agreement. Consultant acknowledges that the obligations in this Section 3 are ancillary to Consultant’s

nondisclosure obligations under Section 2.

C.

Consultant’s Services to Others. The Company acknowledges that Consultant or its affiliates may provide services and consulting

advice to others. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or restrict Consultant in conducting such business with others,

or in rendering such advice to others.

4.

Reports.

Consultant

also agrees that Consultant will, from time to time during the term of this Agreement or any extension thereof, keep the Company advised

as to Consultant’s progress in performing the Services under this Agreement. Consultant further agrees that Consultant will, as

requested by the Company, prepare written reports with respect to such progress. The Company and Consultant agree that the time required

to prepare such written reports will be considered time devoted to the performance of the Services.

5.

Term and Termination.

A.

Term. The term of this Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and will continue until terminated as provided in Section 5.B.

Regarding Confidential Information, Consultant agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information disclosed hereunder

until the Confidential Information becomes publicly known and made generally available through no action or inaction of Consultant, but

in no event more than 3 years after the last disclosure of Confidential Information under this Agreement.

B.

Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, by giving the other party 30 days’

prior written notice of such termination pursuant to Section 10.F of this Agreement. This Agreement will terminate automatically upon

expiration of such notice period, unless the Company and Consultant have mutually agreed in writing to an earlier or later termination

date or to extend the term of this Agreement.

C.

Survival. Upon such termination, all rights and duties of the Company and Consultant toward each other shall cease except:

(1)

The Company will pay, within 30 days after the effective date of termination, all amounts owing to Consultant for Services performed

through the effective date of termination (including a prorated Monthly Fee for any partial month) and related expenses, if any,

submitted in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 and Exhibit A of this Agreement; and

(2)

Section 2 (Confidentiality), Section 3 (Conflicting Obligations), Section 6 (Independent Contractor; Benefits), Section 7 (Indemnification),

Section 8 (Nonsolicitation), Section 9 (Arbitration and Equitable Relief), and Section 11 (Ownership of Intellectual Property) will survive

termination of this Agreement.

6.

Independent Contractor; Benefits.

A.

Independent Contractor. It is the express intention of the Company and Consultant that Consultant perform the Services as an independent

contractor to the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be construed to constitute Consultant, the Key Person, or any other

personnel of Consultant as an agent, employee or representative of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Consultant

is not authorized to bind the Company to any liability or obligation or to represent that Consultant has any such authority, except,

in each case, to the extent the Key Person is acting within the scope of the authority delegated to the Key Person as Interim Chief Financial

Officer of the Company by the Company’s Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer, including executing filings, certifications,

and other documents required of the Company’s principal financial officer under applicable law. Consultant agrees to furnish (or

reimburse the Company for) all tools and materials necessary to accomplish this Agreement and shall incur all expenses associated with

performance, except as expressly provided in Exhibit A. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that Consultant is obligated to report as

income all compensation received by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant agrees to and acknowledges the obligation to pay

all self-employment and other taxes on such income.

B.

Benefits. The Company and Consultant agree that neither Consultant nor the Key Person will receive any Company-sponsored benefits

from the Company. If Consultant or the Key Person is reclassified by a state or federal agency or court as an employee of the Company,

the reclassified party will receive no benefits from the Company, except those mandated by state or federal law, even if by the terms

of the Company’s benefit plans or programs in effect at the time of such reclassification, the reclassified party would otherwise

be eligible for such benefits.

C.

Taxes. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be Consultant’s sole obligation to report as income all compensation

received by Consultant from the Company for the Services. Consultant will be liable for the payment of all income taxes upon the receipt

of any funds or property (including equity compensation) from the Company. Consultant will indemnify, keep indemnified and save the Company

harmless from and against any and all liabilities, penalties, interest or other obligations which the Company may incur or become subject

to as a result of any taxes which the Company may be called upon to pay in the future for or by reason of any liability which it may

have, or which any appropriate governmental authority may claim the Company has, under the Internal Revenue Code or any regulations promulgated

thereunder.

D.

Officer Status; Insurance. The Company shall cause the Key Person, in the Key Person’s capacity as Interim Chief Financial

Officer and an officer of the Company, to be covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance

on terms no less favorable than those applicable to any other officer of the Company, and shall maintain such coverage with respect to

the Key Person’s period of service, including customary “tail” coverage for a period of not less than 6 years following

the termination of this Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Key Person shall enter into

the Company’s standard form of officer indemnification agreement or, if none, a customary indemnification agreement providing for

indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, the Key Person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

7.

Indemnification.

A.

By Consultant. Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers and employees from and against

all taxes, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, arising directly

or indirectly from or in connection with (i) any grossly negligent, reckless or intentionally wrongful act of Consultant, the Key Person,

or Consultant’s other assistants, employees or agents, (ii) any material breach by Consultant, the Key Person, or Consultant’s

other assistants, employees or agents of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement, (iii) any failure of Consultant to perform

the Services in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

B.

By the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Consultant and the Key Person from and against all losses, damages,

liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses (which shall be advanced as incurred), arising

directly or indirectly from or in connection with (i) the Services or the Key Person’s service as an officer of the Company, except

to the extent resulting from matters for which Consultant is obligated to indemnify the Company under Section 7.A, (ii) any grossly negligent,

reckless or intentionally wrongful act of the Company or its directors, officers, employees or agents (other than Consultant and the

Key Person), or (iii) any determination by a court or agency that Consultant or the Key Person is an employee of the Company, including

any resulting taxes, penalties, or interest.

C.

Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) except in the case of Consultant’s

fraud, willful misconduct, or breach of Section 2, Consultant’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement,

including under Section 7.A, shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by the Company to Consultant under this Agreement; and (ii)

neither party shall be liable to the other party for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages,

or for lost profits, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

8.

Nonsolicitation.

From

the date of this Agreement until 12 months after the termination of this Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), Consultant

will not, without the Company’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage any employee or contractor

of the Company or its affiliates to terminate employment with, or cease providing services to, the Company or its affiliates. During

the Restricted Period, Consultant will not, whether for Consultant’s own account or for the account of any other person, firm,

corporation or other business organization, intentionally interfere with any person who is or during the period of Consultant’s

engagement by the Company was a partner, supplier, customer or client of the Company or its affiliates by inducing such person to terminate

or materially reduce its business relationship with the Company or its affiliates. Nothing in this Section 8 shall restrict Consultant

from (i) providing services to, or otherwise engaging in business with, any person with whom Consultant or its affiliates had a business

relationship prior to the Effective Date or whose relationship with Consultant did not arise from the Services, or (ii) making general

solicitations or advertisements not directed at employees, contractors, or business relations of the Company.

9.

Arbitration and Equitable Relief.

In

the event of a dispute related to or arising from the terms of this Agreement, such dispute shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration

administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, before a single

arbitrator, with the seat of arbitration in Clark County, Nevada. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The parties shall bear equally the fees of the arbitrator and the administrative costs of the arbitration, subject to any award of fees

and costs pursuant to Section 10.G. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek temporary, preliminary, or other equitable relief

in any court of competent jurisdiction in aid of arbitration or to protect its rights under Section 2 or Section 11.

10.

Services

and Compensation

1.

Services.

Consultant

will provide services as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “Services”), performed on a part-time basis

of approximately 20 hours per week, as determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or other person designated by the

Company’s Chief Executive Officer. From the Effective Date through August 14, 2026, Consultant shall provide the Services

through the Key Person in his capacity as a consultant in connection with the Company's finance, reporting and Nasdaq uplist

activities. The parties acknowledge that this transition period is intended to permit the Company to complete and file its Quarterly

Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 before the Key Person assumes responsibility as the Company's principal

financial officer, and the Key Person shall not be required to execute or certify such Form 10-Q. Effective as of the later of

August 15, 2026 and the date on which such Form 10-Q is filed, subject to appointment by the Company's Board of Directors, the Key

Person will serve as the Company's Interim Chief Financial Officer and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, as its principal

financial officer (and, if so designated by the Company's Board of Directors, its principal accounting officer) for purposes of the

Company's reports, registration statements, and certifications under the federal securities laws. Company shall determine the scope

of the work to be performed, but Consultant shall have the ability to select the means, manner and method of performing the

Services. Consultant shall have the right to perform the Services in such manner as Consultant deems appropriate, and shall have the

right to dictate the Key Person’s hours of work, reporting time, and how much work is performed on-site. Consultant, however,

agrees to use its best efforts to promote the Company’s interests and to give the Company the benefit of the Key

Person’s experience, knowledge, and skills. Consultant undertakes to perform the Services in a timely and professional manner

and to devote such time, attention and skill to its duties under this Agreement as may reasonably be necessary to ensure the

performance of the Services to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer’s satisfaction.

Without

limiting the general scope of the Services, the Company’s current key priorities for Consultant are:

(a)

Nasdaq Uplist. Own the Nasdaq uplist workstream end-to-end, including coordination with the Company’s advisors and auditors.

(b)

Public Company Compliance. Establish and maintain the Company’s public-reporting calendar, oversee internal controls, provide

training to relevant Company personnel, and coordinate disclosure matters and audit engagements, including transition support in connection

with any future change in the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

(c)

Capital Markets. Manage relationships with banks, investors, and the Company’s advisors on financing matters, both

in connection with the Nasdaq uplist and the Company’s AI/GPU financing initiatives, working alongside the Company’s

Chief Executive Officer.

(d)

Financial Modeling. Oversee the Company’s corporate financial model, project-level models for GPU and data center transactions,

and the financial analyses underlying investor materials, in coordination with the Company’s existing finance team.

(e)

Accounting Team. Build and manage the Company’s accounting function, including oversight of the Company’s accounting

personnel.

The

foregoing priorities describe the current focus of the Services and do not limit the Company’s ability to determine or adjust the

scope of the Services from time to time. Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude Company from retaining the services of other persons

or entities undertaking the same or similar services as those undertaken by Consultant hereunder, or from independently developing or

acquiring materials or programs that are similar to, or competitive with, the Services.

2.

Compensation.

a.

Monthly Cash Fee. In consideration of the Services, the Company shall pay Consultant a cash fee of $15,000 per month (the “Monthly

Fee”), payable against invoices submitted by Consultant. Thereafter, Consultant shall invoice the Company for the full Monthly

Fee on a monthly basis in arrears. The Company shall pay each properly submitted, undisputed invoice within 30 days of receipt.

b.

Monthly Equity Grant. In further consideration of the Services, on or promptly after the last business day of each calendar month

during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall grant Consultant a number of shares of the Company’s restricted common stock

equal to $5,000 divided by the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB Marketplace

(symbol: VDTA) for all trading days during that calendar month, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (or, if Bloomberg is unavailable, another

reputable pricing source mutually agreed by the parties), rounded down to the nearest whole share (each, a “Monthly Grant”).

Each Monthly Grant shall be fully vested on its date of grant and shall be evidenced by, and subject to the terms of, a separate restricted

stock award agreement consistent with this Section 2.b and the Company’s equity incentive plan then in effect (or, if no such plan

is then in effect, a form of award agreement providing for an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933,

as amended). The number of shares subject to each Monthly Grant, and any shares previously granted, shall be equitably adjusted to reflect

any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, or similar transaction affecting the Company’s common stock.

c.

Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Consultant for reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the

performance of the Services, including travel in connection with the Nasdaq uplist and investor meetings, (1) with the Company’s

prior written approval (email being sufficient) required for any individual expense in excess of $500, or (2) if the Company has adopted

an expense reimbursement policy, subject to and in accordance with such approved policy. The Company shall reimburse each properly documented

expense within 30 days after submission.

d.

No Other Compensation. Except as expressly set forth in this Exhibit A, Consultant shall not be entitled to any other compensation,

fees, or benefits from the Company in connection with the Services.

Exhibit 99.1

Vertical

Data Appoints Chris Downs as Interim Chief Financial Officer

Public

Company CFO with Capital Markets and Governance Experience to Lead the Company’s Proposed Uplisting

LAS

VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / August 18, 2026 / Vertical Data Inc. (OTCQB:VDTA) (“Vertical Data” or the “Company”),

operator of VerticalData.io, GPUfinancing.com and Vertical Edge, today announced the appointment of Chris Downs as Interim Chief Financial

Officer, effective August 17, 2026. He will also serve as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.

As

Interim Chief Financial Officer, Downs will lead the Company’s finance and accounting functions, with a primary near-term focus

on the Company’s planned uplisting of its common stock from the OTCQB® Venture Market to a national securities exchange. Prior

to this appointment, he advised the Company as a consultant on its finance, reporting and uplisting activities.

“Chris

is joining Vertical Data at an important inflection point in our growth,” said Deven Soni, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

of Vertical Data. “Chris has spent most of the past decade as the Chief Financial Officer of a Nasdaq-listed company, and has built

a career around exactly the work in front of us: listing compliance, capital markets execution and the reporting and governance foundation

a company needs to operate as a public company and exchange listed issuer. That experience maps directly to our primary near-term objective

of uplisting to a national securities exchange.”

Downs

most recently served for approximately six years (November 2019-March 2026) as Chief Financial Officer of CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,

where he led the company’s financings, including follow-on, PIPE, at-the-market and equity line transactions, and directed its

SEC regulatory and Nasdaq compliance and governance modernization. He previously served as Interim Chief Financial Officer of InfuSystem

Holdings, Inc., where he led the company through an SEC restatement and a series of refinancings that significantly reduced its cost

of debt over three years, and as a director and Audit Committee Chair of EBET, Inc. Earlier in his career, he advised on more than $4

billion of announced M&A transaction value as a healthcare investment banker at Citigroup, Alterity Partners and Maren Group. Across

his career he has raised and arranged more than $285 million of capital across public equity, private placements and asset-based lending.

“Vertical

Data sits at the center of the rapid buildout of AI computing infrastructure, across GPUs, financing and facilities,” said Downs.

“My focus from day one is executing the uplisting and strengthening the financial foundation of reporting, controls and capital

structure to support the Company’s growth as a listed company.”

Downs

is a Certified Public Accountant, a Certified Treasury Professional and a Certified Corporate FP&A Professional. He holds an M.B.A.

from Columbia Business School, an M.S. in Accounting from the University of Houston–Clear Lake and a B.S. in Economics from the

United States Military Academy at West Point.

Christopher

Creatura, who previously served as Chief Financial Officer, has been appointed Chief Credit Officer of the Company, where he will lead

credit and underwriting for the GPUfinancing.com platform.

“I

want to thank Christopher Creatura for his contributions as Chief Financial Officer since the Company’s founding,” said Soni.

“His move to Chief Credit Officer puts him where his experience creates the most value as we scale GPU financing.”
