The Company further announced today that the Board has elected not to declare a monthly cash dividend on its outstanding 10.00% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred Stock") for the month ending December 31, 2024. The certificate of designations for the Series E Preferred Stock permits the Company to defer up to 12 consecutive monthly dividend payments on the Series E Preferred Stock without such deferrals being considered missed (a "Permitted Deferral"). The Company notes that the dividend is a cumulative dividend that accrues for payment in the future.
Hyperscale Executive Chairman Milton "Todd" Ault III stated, "The Company remains committed to paying consistent dividends as evidenced by the Company never missing a dividend payment on the Series D Preferred Stock since its inception in June 2022. The just-declared dividend payment for the Series D Preferred Stock will be the 30th consecutive dividend payment. As the Series E Preferred Stock was just issued to stockholders as a dividend, the Company always anticipated electing to defer this month's dividend, which is why Permitted Deferrals were included in the certificate of designations. We anticipate declaring and paying out the deferred dividend payment sometime in 2025."
