Hyperscale Data, Inc., a Delaware-based electronic components manufacturer, disclosed on Monday, December 10, 2024, that it has entered into a significant financial arrangement with its affiliate Ault & Company, Inc. The agreement involves the sale of Series C convertible preferred stock and corresponding warrants, which could potentially reach a total value of $75 million.

As of today, Ault & Company has invested $47.6 million in exchange for 47,600 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase an additional 402,069 common shares.

Additionally, Hyperscale Data has reached a forbearance agreement with an institutional investor regarding a $5,390,000 convertible promissory note issued in a registered direct offering on July 19, 2024. This agreement comes as the company manages a substantial total debt of $127.62 million, with InvestingPro analysis indicating potential challenges in meeting interest payments.

The investor has agreed to withhold exercising their rights until December 31, 2024, in exchange for a new forbearance note valued at $853,067.93. This note includes a forbearance extension fee, a true-up amount, and forbearance interest.

The forbearance note carries an 18% annual interest rate and is set to mature on February 15, 2025. It can be converted into common stock at a price of $5.47 per share, pending approval from the NYSE American LLC and the company's shareholders. The note's conversion is subject to standard events of default, including payment failures, covenant breaches, and bankruptcy events, among others.

The securities mentioned in this transaction were sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. This financial maneuver is part of Hyperscale Data's broader strategy to manage its capital structure and ensure liquidity.

The company, which operates under the ticker GPUS on the NYSE American exchange, has undergone several name changes over the years, with its former identities including Ault Alliance, Inc., BitNile Holdings, Inc., and Ault Global Holdings, Inc. With a current market capitalization of just $7.59 million, the company's stock has shown significant volatility.
