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, medical/biopharma and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged

in private credit and structured finance through 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.
