Hyperscale Data Enters into an Agreement for up to $50 Million in New Equity Financing to Accelerate Buildout of Artificial Intelligence Data Center in Michigan

LAS VEGAS, April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE:GPUS), a diversified holding company ("Hyperscale Data" or the "Company"), today announced it has entered into an agreement for up to $50 million in new equity financing from a single, unaffiliated institutional investor (the "Investor"). The Investor has committed to purchasing up to 50,000 shares of newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Transaction"). The capital from the Preferred Transaction will be used to accelerate the buildout of the Company's state-of-the-art Michigan data center, marking a major milestone in Hyperscale Data's previously announced growth plans.

"The Preferred Transaction represents a strong endorsement of our vision and business model," stated William B. Horne, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperscale Data. "With this infusion of capital, we will be well-positioned to advance construction of our Michigan data center and expand capacity to meet the accelerating demand for scalable, energy-efficient data center infrastructure."

The Company's Michigan data center is being developed as a hyperscale-ready campus designed to serve enterprise, artificial intelligence ("AI"), and high-performance computing ("HPC") cloud providers with high-density workloads. The facility will feature advanced cooling technologies, robust power infrastructure, and a commitment to sustainable and efficient operations.

"We are building for the future—laying the groundwork for digital infrastructure that is resilient, efficient, and future-proof," added Milton "Todd" Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. "The Preferred Transaction allows us to execute on that vision at speed and scale, while also contributing to economic development and job creation in the local community. The expansion of the overall power capacity at our Michigan data center will begin in the coming months and we will update stockholders as the buildout progresses."

The Preferred Transaction will be conducted through a series of monthly closings with the Investor being obligated to fund a minimum of $1 million each month, subject to certain conditions, with the right to accelerate closings. Additional information regarding the securities described above and the terms of the Preferred Transaction will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

The preferred shares described above are being issued in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the shares of common stock underlying the preferred shares, have not been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the preferred shares and the underlying shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred shares may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of shares of the Company's common stock in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
