| ITEM 1.01 | ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. |
On November 6, 2026 (the “Execution Date”), Hyperscale Data, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Investor agreed to acquire, and the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering to the Investor (the “Offering”), a (i) $10,810,810.81 principal amount of convertible promissory note (the “Initial Note”), which Initial Note was issued and sold on the Execution Date, (ii) $5,405,405.41 principal amount of convertible promissory note (the “Second Note”), which Second Note will be issued and sold on or around November 16, 2026 and (iii) potentially, a $10,810,810.81 principal amount of convertible promissory note issuable upon exercise of the Additional Investment Right (as such term is defined below) (the “AIR Note” and with the Initial Note and the Second Note, the “Notes” and with the Purchase Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”), which AIR Note would be issued and sold on or prior to the three (3) months of the sale of the Second Note, in each case subject to customary closing conditions and in the case of the AIR Note, provided that the Additional Investment Right is exercised.
Description of the Notes
All Notes carry an original issue discount of 7.5%. The Initial Note is being sold to the Investor for a purchase price of $10,000,000, the Second Note is being sold to the Investor for a purchase price of $5,000,000, and the AIR Note would, if the AIR is exercised, be sold to the Investor for a purchase price of $10,000,000. No Note will be issued pursuant to an indenture. Each Note is convertible at any time after NYSE American (“NYSE”) approval of the Supplemental Listing Application (the “SLAP”) into shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”).
The Notes have an aggregate principal face amount of $27,027,027.03, which includes an original issue discount of $2,027,027.03. The Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum, unless an event of default (as defined in the Notes) occurs, at which time the Notes would accrue interest at 18% per annum. The maturity date of the Notes (the “Maturity Date” shall initially mean February 5, 2027; provided, however, that after the Company has obtained stockholder approval for the issuance of the Notes (the “Stockholder Approval”), and provided that the Company has not received notice that it is not in compliance with the NYSE American, LLC, or NYSE, then the “Maturity Date” shall mean May 5, 2027.
The Note is convertible into Conversion Shares at any time after NYSE approval of the Supplemental Listing Application at a conversion price equal to the lower of (A) $0.30 and (B) a 10% discount to the lowest daily volume-weighted average price during the five (5) Trading Days prior to the date of receipt of a conversion notice from the Investor, subject to a floor price of $0.1025.
The Company may not issue Conversion Shares to the extent such issuances would result in an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock exceeding 19.99% of the total shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Execution Date, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NYSE (the “NYSE Limit”) unless the Company first obtains Stockholder Approval. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to file a proxy statement to obtain the Stockholder Approval.
At any time on or prior to the three-month anniversary of the date when all of the Notes have been sold hereunder (the “AIR Period”), the Purchaser and the Company may, by mutual agreement, sell and purchase the AIR Note for a purchase price equal to $10,000,000, on the same terms and conditions as applicable to the Second Closing as contained in the Transaction Documents (the “Additional Investment Right”). If the Company and the Purchaser agree to exercise the Additional Investment Right, the Company and the Purchaser shall execute new documents substantially similar to the Transaction Documents and hold a closing for the additional investment represented by the Additional Investment Right during the AIR Period.
Each Note contains standard and customary events of default including, but not limited to, failure to pay amounts due under such Note when required, default in covenants, bankruptcy events, failure to obtain Stockholder Approval and suspension or delisting from trading of our Common Stock on an eligible exchange.
