Exhibit 99.1
Core Scientific Announces Proposed Offering of $3.3 Billion of Senior Secured Notes
AUSTIN, Texas, April 21, 2026 — Core Scientific, Inc. (Nasdaq: CORZ) (“Core Scientific” or the “Company”), a
leader in digital infrastructure for high-density colocation (“HDC”), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Core Scientific Finance I LLC (the “Issuer”), intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other
factors, $3.3 billion aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2031 (the “Notes”), in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund a debt service reserve account, and the remaining proceeds to make a distribution to Core
Scientific. Core Scientific intends to use a portion of the net proceeds it receives from the Issuer to repay in full its outstanding delayed draw term loans under its previously announced 364-day credit
facility, including accrued interest thereon and fees and expenses in connection therewith.
The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
each of Core Scientific Austin LLC, Core Scientific Denton LLC, Core Scientific Dalton LLC, Core Scientific Marble LLC and Core Scientific Muskogee LLC, which, as of the issue date, will constitute the Issuer’s only subsidiaries (the
“Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Notes and related note guarantees will be secured by first-priority liens on (i) substantially all assets of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, other than certain excluded property, (ii) all
equity interests of the Issuer held by Core Scientific Finance Holding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the direct parent company of the Issuer, and (iii) certain assets and rights of Core Scientific.
Core Scientific will provide a customary completion guarantee with respect to the development and construction of certain datacenters located in Dalton,
Georgia; Denton, Texas; Marble, North Carolina; and Muskogee, Oklahoma (collectively, the “Projects”) under which it will fund the Issuer as necessary to ensure the timely completion of the Projects in the event that the proceeds of the
Notes and other available funds are insufficient to do so.
The offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to
whether, when or on what terms the offering may be completed.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other
jurisdiction, and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered only to persons
reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any
state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

agent for the notes, on behalf of the noteholders, in any assets and rights identified prior to the date hereof as subject to the Restructuring which are not yet transferred (or in which rights to use have not been granted) to Core Scientific
Finance or the Project Subsidiaries as of the closing of the Offering except for the Austin Lease. Capitalized terms used in this section that are not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as defined below.
Overview of the Projects
Core Scientific
Finance is developing six data center facilities across five sites that have been 100% licensed to CoreWeave, Inc. (“CoreWeave” and the development of each such data center facility, a “Project” and collectively, the
“Projects”) pursuant to a series of licensing agreements entered into beginning in February 2024, which are estimated to generate an aggregate of approximately $10 billion in revenue (net of anticipated rent repayments under the
terms of the licensing agreements). The Projects are expected to support an aggregate of approximately 590 megawatts (“MW”) of net critical information technology (“IT”) capacity contracted with CoreWeave. Approximately 900
MWs of grid capacity has been secured across all five Project sites. The Project sites are located in Marble, North Carolina; Dalton, Georgia; Dallas-Denton, Texas; Muskogee, Oklahoma; and Austin, Texas (the “Properties”). Under the
CoreWeave Licensing Agreements (as defined below), CoreWeave covers all construction costs, which are offset by partial revenue credits capped at $1.5 million per MW. As of the date hereof, Core Scientific estimates that it and CoreWeave have
made an aggregate of approximately $4.4 billion in contributions to the Projects, constituting approximately approximately 80% of the estimated $5.5 billion anticipated capital expenditures for construction of the Projects.
The Austin Campus (as defined below) was completed in 2024. Each of the other Projects is expected to be delivered in phases across the four
other Properties as set forth in the chart below, with substantial completion of all Projects expected by the first half of 2027. Each of the Projects is expected to be designed to support high-performance computing (“HPC”) and
artificial intelligence (“AI”) workloads, with a critical IT load of approximately 590 MWs licensed to CoreWeave. In addition, approximately 900 MWs of grid capacity has been secured across all five Project sites. Each Project is
designed to have an average Power Usage Effectiveness ratio of approximately 1.5. Approximately 350 MWs are currently energized and over 185 MWs of active capacity are being billed as of March 13, 2026.
The grid capacity secured for each Project is at tariff rates. Each Property has backup generators and Uninterruptible Power Supply redundancy
based on customer requirements.
The following table sets forth an overview of each Project. The Anticipated Starting Delivery timelines
and the Anticipated Substantial Completion timelines set forth below are referred to herein as the “Anticipated Timeline.”

The Austin Campus
The Austin campus (“Austin Campus”) is a single building comprising two data halls that serve as a 16.5 MW data center located at
3301 Hibbetts Road in Austin, Texas on approximately 38 acres and is leased by Core Scientific from SDC—Austin, LLC (“Landlord” and the lease agreement, as amended, the “Austin Lease”). Core Scientific is using
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Austin Lease to be assigned to Core Scientific Austin, and Core Scientific is awaiting Landlord’s consent to said assignment. Upon receipt of Landlord’s consent, Core Scientific will promptly
assign to Core Scientific Austin all of its rights and obligations under the Austin Lease and the Austin Colocation License Agreement.
The initial term of the Austin Lease commenced in March 2024 and is approximately 84 months long. Base rent is structured on a ramp basis: $0
for months 1–2, $368,000 per month for months 3–4, $736,000 per month for months 5–6, $920,000 per month for months 7–12, and then escalating from approximately $1,146,596 per month in months 13–24 with additional
escalations each year to approximately $1,329,219 per month in months 73–84.
The Austin Campus is subject to the Austin Colocation
License Agreement (as defined below). The Austin Colocation License Agreement grants a license for use of two suites, and each suite has a term of 84 months. The term for each of Suite 1 and Suite 2 commenced in March 2024. Base license fees for
each of Suite 1 and Suite 2 ramp from $0 per month in months 1–2, to $920,000 per month in months 3–5, and then escalating from $1,895,200 per month in months 6–12 with additional 3% escalations each year to $2,262,967.92 per month
in months 73–84. CoreWeave did not materially contribute to the buildout costs. The commencement date under the Austin Colocation License Agreement occurred in the second quarter of 2024 and
the obligation for CoreWeave to pay base license fees has commenced.
Power for the Austin Campus is supplied by Austin Energy under
Austin Energy’s general tariff structure. In connection with the Restructuring, upon the assignment of the Austin Lease to Core Scientific Austin, Core Scientific will, simultaneously, (i) grant Core Scientific Austin the exclusive right
to use said power pursuant to a Right of Use Agreement and (ii) assign all of its rights and obligations under the Austin Colocation License Agreement to Core Scientific Austin, pursuant to executed agreements.
The Denton Campus
The Denton
campus (“Denton Campus”) is located at 8171 Jim Christal Road in Denton, Texas on property owned by the City of Denton and leased to Core Scientific (the “Denton Ground Lease”) totaling approximately 64 acres to
accommodate the initial development of a 262 MW data center and subsequent conversion of the campus from cryptocurrency mining to HPC and AI workloads. The Denton Campus consists of eight buildings, which are
referred to as Buildings A through H. The Denton Ground Lease term runs through December 31, 2035 (the “Initial Term”), with the Initial Term to be extended contemporaneously
with any extension(s) of the PPA (as defined below) for up to seven additional years; if the PPA is terminated for any reason, the Denton Ground Lease shall also automatically terminate. Monthly rent under the Denton Ground Lease is
$53,949.81 per month, with biennial CPI-U (Dallas-Fort Worth)-based adjustments. All improvements constructed by Core Scientific Denton or Core Scientific become property of the City of Denton upon expiration
or termination. The Denton Campus is subject to the Denton Colocation License Agreement (as defined below). Buildings D, E, F and G (approximately 132 MW) are currently operational and billing, with substantial completion of remaining MWs expected
to occur in the second half of 2026.
Construction of the multi-building HPC campus is being managed by T5 Construction, LLC
(“T5”) pursuant to a contract where the basis of payment is the cost of the work plus a fee with a guaranteed maximum price, subject to additions and deductions by change order. Certain costs and expenses relating to the construction of
the Denton Campus are to be paid for or reimbursed by CoreWeave as described below. The work commenced in the third quarter of 2024 and substantial completion is expected in the second half of 2026.
Power for the Denton Campus is supplied by the City of Denton through its municipal electric utility, Denton Municipal Electric
(“DME”), pursuant to a power purchase agreement (as amended, the “DME Contract”), for a total potential campus load of approximately 394 MW. The DME Contract term is 14 years, with two additional seven-year extension options
available upon one year’s written notice to DME, provided that the Denton Ground Lease must also be extended or renewed for the same amount of time.
Core Scientific is the customer under the DME Contract. In connection with the Restructuring, upon consent from DME, Core Scientific will
grant Core Scientific Denton the exclusive right to use the power under the DME Contract pursuant to a Right of Use Agreement between Core Scientific and Core Scientific Denton. Simultaneously, Core Scientific will assign to Core Scientific Denton
all of its rights and obligations under the Denton Lease and the Denton Colocation License Agreement pursuant to executed agreements. In addition, Core Scientific will pledge the DME Contract to secure the notes as part of the Core Scientific
Collateral (as defined below).
The Dalton Campuses
The Dalton campuses (together, the “Dalton Campuses”) comprise the Dalton 1 campus located at 2205 Industrial South Rd in Dalton,
Georgia on approximately five acres (“Dalton 1”) and the Dalton 4 campus located at 3024 Old Tilton Road in Dalton, Georgia on approximately 167 acres (“Dalton 4”). The Dalton Campuses consist of one building on the Dalton 1
campus and one building comprising three data halls on the Dalton 4 campus. Dalton 1 will feature a 30 MW data center, and construction involves converting the Property from cryptocurrency mining to HPC and AI workloads. Dalton 4 will feature a 145
MW data center and is a greenfield development.
Core Scientific leases Dalton 1 (the “Dalton 1 Ground Lease”) from the
Dalton-Whitfield County Joint Development Authority (the “Dalton-Whitfield JDA”) in connection with a bond financed sale leaseback transaction entered into with the Dalton-Whitfield JDA for certain tax abatements. The term of the Dalton
1 Ground Lease expires December 31, 2035 (or at any time simultaneously with or after the payment in full of the underlying project bonds), and is extendable if the underlying project bonds (the “Dalton Bonds”) remain outstanding,
but no later than December 31, 2037. Base rent under the Dalton 1 Ground Lease is due each December 1 in amounts equal to annual principal and interest due on the Dalton Bonds. Core Scientific also leases Dalton 4 from the Dalton-Whitfield
JDA (the “Dalton 4 Ground Lease,” and collectively with the Dalton 1 Ground Lease, the “Dalton Ground Leases”) in connection with a bond financed sale leaseback transaction entered into with the Dalton-Whitfield JDA for
certain tax abatements. The term of the Dalton 4 Ground Lease expires December 31, 2036 (or at any time simultaneously with or after the payment in full of the underlying project bonds), and is extendable if the Dalton Bonds remain outstanding.
Base rent mechanics under the Dalton 4 Ground Lease are identical to the Dalton 1 Ground Lease. Core Scientific has the right to assign the Dalton Ground Leases to Core Scientific Dalton, without the landlord’s consent, provided that the
Dalton Bonds are also transferred to Core Scientific Dalton. The process to transfer the Dalton Bonds is an administrative process that does not require the consent of the Dalton-Whitfield JDA or the applicable indenture trustee, which Core
Scientific has commenced with the applicable indenture trustee and expects to complete promptly following the closing of the Offering.
The Dalton Bonds are taxable revenue bonds that are issued by the Dalton-Whitfield JDA. The
Dalton Bonds, which are held by Core Scientific (or, following completion of the transfer, will be held by Core Scientific Dalton) have scheduled amortization payments, bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum and mature on December 1, 2035 or
December 1, 2036, as applicable. They are limited obligations that are payable solely from the lease payments under the applicable Dalton Ground Lease and are guaranteed by Core Scientific. The Dalton Bonds are redeemable in whole or in part by
the Dalton-Whitfield JDA at any time at Core Scientific’s (or, following completion of the transfer, Core Scientific Dalton’s) option at 100% of the principal plus accrued interest to the redemption date. Pursuant to a home office
payment agreement, Core Scientific (or, following completion of the transfer, Core Scientific Dalton), as lessee under the applicable Dalton Ground Lease, is permitted to provide payment of debt service on the Dalton Bonds directly to itself as sole
holder of the Dalton Bonds, including by ledger entry, on each payment due date, with the lease payments and debt service payments constructively netting out and deemed made when due.
The tenant, Core Scientific (or, following completion of the transfer, Core Scientific Dalton), has the right to terminate the Dalton Ground
Leases before the scheduled expiration dates by paying off the Dalton Bonds and terminating the applicable Dalton Ground Lease. Upon the expiration or termination of the applicable Dalton Ground Lease (and the payment in full of the Dalton Bonds),
Core Scientific is obligated to purchase the Dalton 1 site or Dalton 4 site for a nominal fee, as applicable. Core Scientific entered into the Dalton Ground Lease and Dalton Bonds for the purpose of obtaining tax abatements that it considers to be
immaterial, and anticipates that termination of the Dalton Bonds will not involve the payment of consideration.
Dalton 1 is subject to
the Dalton 1 Colocation License Agreement (as defined below). The commencement date under the Dalton 1 Colocation License Agreement is expected to occur in the first half of 2026. Dalton 4 is subject to the Dalton 4 Colocation License Agreement (as
defined below). The commencement date under the Dalton 4 Colocation License Agreement is expected to occur in the second half of 2026.
Construction for Dalton 1 is being managed by T5 pursuant to a contract where the basis of payment is the cost of the work plus a fee with a
guaranteed maximum price, subject to additions and deductions by change order. The Dalton 1 work has commenced and is expected to be substantially complete in the first half of 2026. Construction for Dalton 4 is being managed by Critical
Construction Management, LLC (“CCM”) pursuant to a contract where the basis of payment is the cost of work plus a fee and certain incentive payments with a guaranteed maximum price, subject to additions and deductions by change order.
CCM’s failure to meet certain completion deadlines results in liquidated damages due from CCM, with a cap equal to CCM’s fee. Certain costs and expenses relating to the construction of the Dalton Campuses are paid for or reimbursed by
CoreWeave as described below.
Power for the Dalton Campuses is supplied by Dalton Utilities (City of Dalton, Georgia, acting
through its Board of Water, Light, and Sinking Fund Commissioners) (“DU”) pursuant to an electric service agreement (“DU Contract”). The DU Contract has no fixed expiration date and continues indefinitely until terminated at
will by the customer. Dalton 1 and Dalton 4 currently have access to 270 MW in the aggregate. DU has committed to using commercially reasonable efforts to contract with outside providers to secure additional power capacity, up to a total of 450 MW,
of which approximately 270 MW will be allocated to Dalton 1 and Dalton 4 in aggregate. The first such agreement involving an outside provider was finalized in December 2025.
Core Scientific is the customer under the DU Contract. In connection with the Restructuring, upon the assignment of the Dalton Leases to Core
Scientific Dalton, Core Scientific will, simultaneously, (i) grant Core Scientific Dalton the exclusive right to use the power under the DU Contract pursuant to a Right of Use Agreement between Core Scientific and Core Scientific Dalton and
(ii) assign to Core Scientific Dalton all of its rights and obligations under the Dalton 1 Colocation License Agreement and Dalton 4 Colocation License Agreement, pursuant to executed documents. In addition, Core Scientific will pledge the DU
Contract to secure the notes as part of the Core Scientific Collateral.
The Marble Campus
The Marble campus (“Marble Campus”) is located at 155 Palmer Lane in Marble, North Carolina. The Marble Campus sits on land owned
by Core Scientific Marble, consists of approximately 73 acres and will feature a 65 MW data center, and construction involves converting the Property from cryptocurrency mining to HPC and AI workloads. The Marble Campus is subject to the Marble
Colocation License Agreement (as defined below). Approximately 37 MWs are currently operational and billing, with substantial completion of the remaining MWs expected in the first half of 2026.
The Marble Campus will feature a single building with two compute data halls and two network
data halls. Construction of the Marble Campus is being managed by T5 pursuant to a contract where the basis of payment is the cost of the work plus a fee with a guaranteed maximum price, subject to additions and deductions via change order. Certain
costs and expenses relating to the construction of the Marble Campus are paid for or reimbursed by CoreWeave as described below.
Power
for the Marble Campus is supplied through three separate contractual arrangements. The agreement (the “Murphy Contract”) with Murphy Electric Power Board (“Murphy Power”), a Tennessee Valley Authority distributor, provides
for 35,000 kilowatts (“kW”) of firm power service. The Murphy Contract runs through August 30, 2029, and will be automatically renewed in three (3) year intervals, subject to termination by either party with three
(3) years’ written notice. Power is also supplied to Marble Campus pursuant to two Electric Service Agreements with Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (collectively, the “Duke Energy Contracts”), one with a contract demand of 48,000
kW, and the other with contract demand beginning at 34,000 kW. Both of the Duke Energy Contracts are currently on a year-to-year basis.
Core Scientific is the customer under the Duke Energy Contracts and Murphy Contract. In connection with the Restructuring, upon consent from
Murphy Power, Core Scientific will simultaneously (i) grant Core Scientific Marble the exclusive right to use the power under the Duke Energy Contracts and Murphy Contract pursuant to a Right of Use Agreement between Core Scientific and Core
Scientific Marble and (ii) assign to Core Scientific Marble all of its rights and obligations under the Marble Colocation License Agreement, pursuant to executed agreements. In addition, Core Scientific will pledge the Murphy Contract and the
Duke Energy Contracts to secure the notes as part of the Core Scientific Collateral.
The Muskogee Campus
The Muskogee campus (“Muskogee Campus”) is located at 1525 W. Smith Ferry Road in Muskogee, Oklahoma on 64 acres and will feature a
70 MW data center. The Muskogee Campus sits on land owned by Core Scientific Muskogee. The Muskogee Campus is subject to the Muskogee Colocation License Agreement (as defined below).
The Muskogee Campus will feature one building consisting of two compute data halls and one network data hall. Construction of the Muskogee
Campus is being managed by Evans General Contractors, LLC (“Evans”) pursuant to a contract where the basis of payment is the cost of the work plus a fee with a guaranteed maximum price, subject to additions and deductions via change
order. Certain costs and expenses relating to the construction of the Muskogee Campus are to be paid for or reimbursed by CoreWeave as described below. Construction of the Muskogee Campus commenced in the first quarter of 2025. Substantial
completion of the Muskogee Campus is anticipated in the first half of 2026.
Power for the Muskogee Campus is supplied pursuant to an
electric service agreement (as amended, the “OG&E Contract”) with Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company (“OG&E”). The firm electric service anticipated to be delivered is for an estimated maximum demand of 100,000 kW,
subject to customary reductions of such demand due to continuously reduced customer use or, conversely, increases in such demand upon submission of a written request to OG&E. The initial term of said agreement with OG&E expires in May 2029.
Following expiration of the initial term of the OG&E Contract, the Muskogee Campus will continue to receive service under applicable tariffs.
Core Scientific is the customer under the OG&E Contract. In connection with the Restructuring, upon consent from OG&E, Core Scientific
will simultaneously (i) grant Core Scientific Muskogee the exclusive right to use the power under the OG&E Contract pursuant to a Right of Use Agreement between Core Scientific and Core Scientific Muskogee and (ii) assign to Core
Scientific Muskogee all of its rights and obligations under the Muskogee Colocation License Agreement, pursuant to executed agreements. In addition, Core Scientific will pledge the OG&E Contract to secure the notes as part of the Core Scientific
Collateral.
CoreWeave Licensing Agreements
Core Scientific and CoreWeave (or its affiliate, with respect to the Denton Colocation License Agreement) have entered into:
(1)
that certain Colocation License Agreement with respect to certain services and space located on the Dalton
Campus (as amended, the “Dalton 1 Colocation License Agreement”);
(2)
that certain Amended and Restated Colocation License Agreement with respect to certain services and space
located on the Denton Campus (as amended, the “Denton Colocation License Agreement”)
(3)
that certain Colocation License Agreement with respect to certain services and space located on the Marble
Campus (as amended, the “Marble Colocation License Agreement”);
(4)
that certain Colocation License Agreement with respect to certain services and space located on the Muskogee
Campus (as amended, the “Muskogee Colocation License Agreement”);
(5)
that certain Colocation License Agreement with respect to certain services and space located on the Dalton
Campus (as amended, the “Dalton 4 Colocation License Agreement”); and
(6)
that certain Colocation License Agreement with respect to certain services and space located on the Austin
Campus (as amended, the “Austin Colocation License Agreement,” and collectively with the Dalton 1 Colocation License Agreement, the Marble Colocation License Agreement, the Muskogee Colocation License Agreement, the Dalton 4 Colocation
License Agreement, and the Denton Colocation License Agreement, the “CoreWeave Licensing Agreements”).
Core
Scientific has entered into assignment and assumption agreements with the applicable Project Subsidiaries granting all of its rights and obligations under the CoreWeave Licensing Agreements, which will each become effective only upon the completion
of the applicable Property Transfer or Lease Assignment (each as defined below) and effectiveness of the applicable Right of Use Agreement (as defined below). See “—Restructuring.” Any reference to “Licensor” below
means the then-current licensor under the applicable CoreWeave Licensing Agreement.
Under the CoreWeave Licensing Agreements, CoreWeave
has the use of purpose-built, high-density data center facilities designed exclusively for CoreWeave’s AI and HPC workloads. The CoreWeave Licensing Agreements run for an initial term of 12 years across all sites (with the exception of the
Austin Colocation License Agreement, which is for a term of seven years), with two successive five-year extension options available to CoreWeave (with the exception of the Austin Colocation License Agreement, which does not include extension
options). CoreWeave pays a base license fee of $100 per kW per month (or $115 per kW per month for the Austin Campus), with annual rent increases of 3.5% (3.0% for the Austin Campus) built into the CoreWeave Licensing Agreements. CoreWeave’s
power allocation for each facility, as set forth in the CoreWeave Licensing Agreements, is as follows: (i) Dalton 1 – 30 MW, (ii) Dalton 4 – 145 MW, (iii) Marble Campus – 65 MW, (iv) Muskogee Campus – 70
MW, (v) Denton Campus – 262 MW, and (vi) Austin Campus – 16.5 MW. CoreWeave is responsible for paying all utility costs on or before their due date.
Except with respect to the Austin Colocation License Agreement, CoreWeave is responsible for providing or reimbursing the applicable Licensor
for the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses directly arising out of the construction, purchased equipment, infrastructure
build-out and other actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses directly related to the construction or infrastructure build-out of the applicable premises under the applicable license that are necessary for the build out of the applicable premises (“Development Costs and Expenses”), in each case in accordance with the
applicable mutually agreed and approved budget and construction schedule. The amount of the Development Costs and Expenses either (i) paid by Licensor and reimbursed by CoreWeave, or (ii) paid by CoreWeave on Licensor’s behalf, for
equipment of the licensor shall, in both cases (i) and (ii) above, be credited against the applicable base license fees; provided such credit shall not exceed an amount equal to $1,500,000 per MW (“Credit”) for the applicable
premises. The amount of the Credit will be applied as a fifty percent (50%) credit
against the amount of each monthly base license fee (commencing on the initial invoiced base license fee) payable by CoreWeave to Licensor under the applicable CoreWeave License Agreement, until
exhausted. The maximum Credit for each of the above described sites is as follows: (a) Dalton 1 – $45 million; (b) Dalton 4 – $218 million; (c) Marble Campus – $98 million, (d) Muskogee Campus
– $105 million, and (e) Denton Campus – $393 million. In exchange for the foregoing, CoreWeave will receive a credit (“End of Term Credit”) against its base license fee equal to (x) $217,163 per MW with respect
to the Denton, Dalton 1, and Dalton 4 Campuses and (y) $228,413 with respect to the Muskogee and Marble Campuses. The End of Term Credit is applied during the last two (2) months of the term of the applicable CoreWeave License Agreement, and if
not exhausted, any remaining amount is remitted to CoreWeave. All components that are not equipment of the Licensor shall be “Contributed Assets.”
Except under the Austin Colocation License Agreement, CoreWeave is also responsible for providing the Contributed Assets at its cost and
expense. CoreWeave will retain ownership of the Contributed Assets during the term, with title to transfer to Licensor at the expiration of the term. During the term until title is transferred, CoreWeave is responsible for the costs to repair,
maintain, and replace the Contributed Assets.
In addition, under the Denton Colocation License Agreement, Licensor is responsible for an
aggregate amount equal to $104.4 million of the Development Costs and Expenses for the provision of 69.6 MW of power to be supplied to the premises under such license.
The commencement date has occurred and obligation to pay base license fees has commenced under the following CoreWeave Licensing Agreements:
the Austin Colocation License Agreement, the Denton Colocation License Agreement and the Marble Colocation License Agreement. If the commencement date for said remaining sites does not occur within 30 days after the applicable target commencement
date (subject to extension for delays caused by CoreWeave or outside the control of Licensor), CoreWeave earns daily credits of $20,000 per day for days 31-60 and $30,000 per day for days 61+ of delay
(“Late Delivery Credits”); if the commencement date has not occurred within 120 days after the target commencement date, CoreWeave may terminate the order without penalty by written notice within a
15-day window. Upon such termination by CoreWeave, Licensor is required to pay all accrued credits within 30 days.
Each CoreWeave Licensing Agreement incorporates a Service Level Agreement that provides for outage credit in the event of certain electrical
interruptions or temperature and humidity variances (“Outage Credit”). The Outage Credit is capped at the base license fee payable for the applicable month and applied to the following month’s base license fee. CoreWeave
termination rights may apply in the event of repeated or prolonged electrical interruptions, environmental control failures, or unauthorized physical access incidents within specified lookback periods.
Damages and claims against Licensor under the applicable colocation order cannot exceed the sum of the previous 12 months (three months for
the Austin Colocation License Agreement) of the base license fees paid or payable. Damages and claims against CoreWeave under the applicable CoreWeave Licensing Agreement cannot exceed the sum of the previous 12 months (six months for the Austin
Colocation Licensing Agreement) of base license fees paid or payable; provided, however, said cap does not apply to any base license fees (or any other charges for the Austin Colocation License Agreement) payable under the applicable CoreWeave
Licensing Agreement or colocation order.
Core Scientific Completion Guarantee
In connection with the Offering of the notes by Core Scientific Finance, Core Scientific will provide a customary, uncapped completion
guarantee (the “Completion Guarantee”) for the benefit of the holders of the notes, which will require Core Scientific to provide Core Scientific Finance with funds necessary to ensure the completion of the Projects (other than the
Austin Campus) in the event that the proceeds of the notes and other available funds are insufficient to do so. In addition, pursuant to the Completion Guarantee, Core Scientific will grant to the collateral agent for the notes, for the benefit of
the holders of the notes, a security interest in certain assets and rights identified prior to the date hereof as subject to the Restructuring which are not yet transferred (or in which rights to use have not been granted) to Core Scientific Finance
or the Project Subsidiaries as of the closing of the Offering (collectively, the “Core Scientific Collateral”). The Completion Guarantee is not a guarantee of the notes, and the notes are not guaranteed by Core Scientific. The Completion
Guarantee will be effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness of Core Scientific to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, except with respect to the Core Scientific Collateral.
Illustrative Financial Information
The following table summarizes certain illustrative financial information for Core Scientific Finance and the Project Subsidiaries. The
illustrative financial information was prepared based on good faith estimates of management based on information available as of the date hereof, and is not necessarily indicative of current value or future performance. This illustrative financial
data was prepared assuming that (i) construction of the Projects will be completed on the anticipated timelines with no material delays, (ii) the current estimates of the payments under the CoreWeave Licensing Agreements will be paid in
full, with no material rent credits or other rent shortfalls, (iii) that the costs and expenses incurred in connection with operating and maintaining the Projects will align with management’s budget and expectations and (iv) that
CoreWeave will pay the build out costs and other items required to be paid by CoreWeave pursuant to the CoreWeave Licensing Agreements. Other items included in this illustrative financial information have been prepared based on management’s
projections for expected results. Such assumptions will be affected by various factors, including inflation, the price and availability of sufficient quantities of electrical power, the performance by CoreWeave under the CoreWeave Licensing
Agreements, any modifications or a termination of the CoreWeave Licensing Agreements, as well as by the various risks and uncertainties relating to development, construction, commissioning and operation of the Projects (including obtaining any
required regulatory approvals).
This financial information was not prepared with a view toward compliance with generally accepted
accounting principles or published guidelines of the SEC. Core Scientific has not reconciled the illustrative financial information with respect to the non-GAAP measures included below as a result of the high
variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort and we are unable to
assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to the results computed in accordance with GAAP. No independent auditors, nor any independent accountants, have
compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the illustrative prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and
assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the illustrative prospective financial information. Actual results could differ materially from the illustrative financial information, financial projections and other estimates
contained herein. There can be no assurance that the construction of the Projects will be completed by the anticipated completion date or at all. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the illustrative financial
information or any summary information derived therefrom. This table should be read carefully together with “Special Note Forward-Looking Statements” below.
