LAS VEGAS, Nov. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data,” or the “Company”), announces that it plans to issue a special one-time dividend (the “Distribution”) of 5,000,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock”) to all holders of its Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) and the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis.
The record date for the Distribution is November 29, 2024. Stockholders who own the Company’s Class A Common Stock at the close of trading on that date will be eligible to receive the shares of Class B Common Stock. Further, the Company has set a payment date of December 16, 2024, subject to adjustment. On the record date, the Company anticipates there will be approximately 1,109,895 shares of Class A Common Stock and approximately 5,935,065 Class A Common Stock equivalents, based on the current conversion price of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, issued and outstanding (collectively, the “Eligible Capital Stock”), for an aggregate of approximately 7,044,960 shares of Eligible Capital Stock. Consequently, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable is approximately 0.71 for each share of Eligible Capital Stock. The foregoing figures reflect the implementation of the one-for-thirty-five reserve stock split that will be effectuated on November 25, 2024.
There will be no public trading market for the Class B Common Stock by the payment date. While the Company presently intends to seek to have the Class B Common Stock listed for trading on the NYSE American within the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance when, or if, such a listing will occur. The CUSIP number of the Class B Common Stock is 09175M 606.
The Class B Common Stock is identical to the currently outstanding Class A Common Stock, with the exception that each share thereof carries ten (10) times the voting power of a share of Class A Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time after the payment date into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The Company will pay holders of the Eligible Capital Stock cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares of Class B Common Stock. The Distribution has been approved by the NYSE American.
Stockholders should refer to the Company’s official announcements or consult their financial advisors for more information about the specifics of the Distribution.
This press release is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell or exchange nor the solicitation of an offer to buy shares of the Company’s common stock or any other securities of the Company. The Distribution is not being made to any person in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
