On December 20, 2024, Hyperscale Data, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into with Ault & Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) on November 6, 2023 (the “Execution Date”), sold 1,900 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock (the “Series C Convertible Preferred Stock”), and warrants (the “Series C Warrants”) to purchase 16,049 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock to the Purchaser, for a purchase price of $1,900,000.  As of December 23, 2024, the Purchaser has purchased an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 422,337 Warrant Shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million.

ITEM 3.01.

NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

 

On December 18, 2024, the Company was notified by the NYSE American that due to the Company’s disclosure in its Form 10-Q filed for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2024, which reported stockholders’ equity of approximately $2.2 million, it no longer meets the requirement that it must have no less than $6 million or more in stockholders’ equity pursuant to the listing standard set forth under Section 1003(a)(ii) and (iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Listing Standards”) because the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in five of its most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023.

 

Under the applicable NYSE American listing rules, the Company must by January 17, 2025 submit a compliance plan that demonstrates how it intends to regain compliance with the Listing Standards within 18 months of the receipt of the notice, or June 18, 2026. The Company intends to develop and submit to the NYSE American such a plan. If the NYSE American does not accept the plan, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, the NYSE American will initiate delisting procedures. If the NYSE American accepts the plan the Company will be subject to periodic reviews including quarterly monitoring for compliance with the plan. During this period, the Company's common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American and trade as usual subject to compliance with other NYSE American listing requirements.

 

The Company is confident that it will be able to submit a plan acceptable to the NYSE American within the requisite period and further that it will promptly be able to demonstrate that it has regained compliance with the Listing Standards.
