Ault Alliance Enters into an Agreement for a Financing of up to $40 Million

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$AULT #40_Million_Financing—Ault Alliance, Inc. (NYSE American: AULT), a diversified holding company (“AAI” or the “Company”) announced today that it has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) providing for up to $40 million of financing (the “Financing”) from Ault & Company, Inc., a related party (“A&C”). Pursuant to the Agreement, AAI has agreed to issue and sell to A&C up to $40 million in shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares will be senior to all other classes of preferred stock the Company has outstanding, as well as senior to the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”).

Each Preferred Share shall have a stated value of $1,000.00 per share and, upon stockholder approval, shall be convertible at the holder’s option into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.10 per share (the “Floor Price”), which Floor Price shall not, except for voting rights purposes, be adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions and (ii) the lesser of (A) $0.10794, or (B) a 5% premium to the closing sale price of the Common stock on the day immediately prior to the date of conversion (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price will be subject to standard anti-dilution provisions in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision or similar reclassification of the Common Stock. The Preferred Stock also has “full ratchet” price protection in the event the Company should issue securities at a lower price than the Conversion Price. The Preferred Stock shall pay a dividend at an annual rate of 9.5%, which the Company may pay, during the first two years, in shares of Common Stock.

Further, A&C will receive warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase up to 400 million shares of Common Stock, presuming that the full amount of the Preferred Shares is sold, exercisable for five years at $0.10 per share, subject to adjustment.

The proceeds from the Financing will be used for the repayment of outstanding indebtedness, to complete the expansion of the Company’s Bitcoin mining facilities and general working capital purposes.

The closing of the Financing is expected to occur on or prior to May 31, 2023, although such date may be extended by A&C as set forth in the Agreement. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement are subject to various customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain third party consents. In addition to customary closing conditions, the closing of the Financing is also conditioned upon the receipt by A&C of financing in an amount sufficient to consummate the transaction.

Additional information regarding the securities described above and the terms of the Financing will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Preferred Shares and Warrants will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as promulgated by SEC under the Securities Act.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor will there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
