Ault Alliance, Inc. (NYSE American: AULT), a diversified holding company (“Ault Alliance,” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it will officially change its corporate name to Hyperscale Data, Inc. (“Hyperscale”), effective September 10, 2024. Along with this rebranding, the Company’s common stock will transition from “AULT” and begin trading under the new ticker symbol “GPUS”, effective September 10, 2024. In conjunction with this change, the ticker symbol for the Company’s Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Shares”) will correspondingly change from “AULT PRD” to “GPUS PRD”, effective September 10, 2024.

No action is required by existing stockholders with respect to the ticker symbol changes. The Company’s common stock and the Series D Preferred Shares will continue to be listed on the NYSE American and the applicable CUSIPs will remain unchanged.

This strategic rebranding reflects the Company's focused commitment to expanding and optimizing its data center operations. Hyperscale will continue to manage its three primary data centers, with the flagship facility located in Michigan, positioning itself at the forefront of the data infrastructure industry. Will Horne will continue to lead Hyperscale as the Chief Executive Officer.

Hyperscale will focus on building out its Michigan artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center, with plans to expand its capacity from the current approximately 30 megawatts (“MW”) to approximately 300 MW, subject to the Company’s receipt of state regulatory approvals and adequate funding, which it may or may not obtain. This expansion underscores the Company's commitment to supporting the growing needs of AI and digital infrastructure. According to a Goldman Sachs report, AI is poised to drive a 160% increase in data center power demand, highlighting the strategic importance of Hyperscale’s expansion efforts.
