Hyperscale Data Plans to Issue a $16.25 Million Stated Value Special Dividend of 10% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock

GPUS

All Common and Series C Convertible Preferred Stockholders to Receive Planned Dividend

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data,” or the “Company”), today announced that it plans to issue a special one-time dividend of a newly designated 10% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred on an as-converted basis. The Series E Preferred Stock is expected to have a $25 stated value per share and pay a monthly cash dividend at a 10% annualized rate. Any such special dividend will be subject to various regulatory requirements and approvals, including but not limited to board approval, NYSE American approval, compliance with applicable law and regulations as well as market conditions, among other matters. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary approvals. The Company will provide further information, including any record and dividend dates, once the Company receives the required board and regulatory approvals to issue the special dividend.

Hyperscale Data Executive Chairman, Milton “Todd” Ault III, stated, “For the past few years, the Company has explored opportunities to issue a Bitcoin dividend. We have come to the conclusion that, due to a number of circumstances, we are unable to issue a Bitcoin dividend. However, we still want to reward stockholders for their loyalty and commitment to the Company. I am excited that this dividend would represent approximately 16% of the face value of the Bitcoin we have mined since early 2021.”

Hyperscale Data CEO, William Horne, stated, “As we continue the transition of our data center operations from what has primarily been Bitcoin mining centric operations to colocation and hosting services for the emerging artificial intelligence and high-performance computing sectors, it was important to follow through with the commitment we made to our shareholders. Although the form of the dividend has changed from what we had originally desired, the economic substance remains the same. As such, we are thrilled to reward stockholders with a substantial special dividend that demonstrates our confidence in the future of the Company and its direction within the data center space.”

The Company will continue to update stockholders in the coming weeks with additional details about the special dividend as developments so warrant.
