Ault Alliance Plans to Focus on Its AI Data Center Operations and Divest Its Remaining Assets

Will Change Its Name to Hyperscale Data, Inc. and Its Ticker Symbol to GPUS

Ault Alliance, Inc. (NYSE American: AULT), a diversified holding company (“Ault Alliance,” or the “Company”), today announced its intentions to dramatically reshape its future by concentrating on its artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center space. As part of this reorganization, Ault Alliance plans to issue one or more special dividends to stockholders of stock in its subsidiaries that are not related to the AI data center business. This decision constitutes the main thrust of the Company’s strategy to streamline its operations as well as ensure that stockholders receive a direct benefit from the distribution of the Company’s present assets that will no longer be a part of the Company’s core focus.

To reflect the new focus, the Company intends to change its name to Hyperscale Data, Inc. (“Hyperscale Data”) and its ticker symbol to GPUS. This change is expected to occur in September 2024.

Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault, III, commented on the evolution that the Company has initiated, stating that “We have spent years trying to maximize the value of the Company and its assets through the current holding company model; however, we now realize that specific assets, such as our data center business, will be better positioned for future growth and success by being separate entities. Our Michigan and Montana facilities will lead the Company’s transformation as we continue to expand and enhance the quality of our growing data center business.”

Hyperscale Data will focus on leveraging its high-quality data center assets in Michigan and Montana to capitalize on the rapidly growing AI and data center markets across the U.S. This strategic move aims to maximize the value of the Company and provide its stockholders greater value by properly positioning the Company for future growth.

Additional details of expected changes related to the Company’s strategic realignment will be provided after the Company’s filing of its upcoming 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Please note that the terms of any special dividend, including the timing of the issuance of any such dividends, are not provided within this press release.

Any such special dividends will be subject to various regulatory requirements and approvals, including but not limited to board approval, NYSE American approval, NYSE American rules and regulations, the potential requirement to file one or more registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the availability of requisite financing and market conditions, among other matters. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary approvals or be able to comply with the required corporate governance requirements. The Company will provide further information as developments so warrant.
