Ault Alliance Returns to Treasury Common and Preferred Stock, Enhancing Financial Stability

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$AGREE #24_percent_of_Series_D_Preferred_returned—Ault Alliance, Inc. (NYSE American: AULT), a diversified holding company (“Ault Alliance,” or the “Company”), today announced that it has returned to treasury 101,362 shares of its 13% Series D cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock, which have a stated value of $2.5 million (the “Preferred Shares”) and 679,969 shares of its common stock (collectively with the Preferred Shares, the “Shares”). The retirement of the Preferred Shares reduces the Company’s annual dividend payable by $0.3 million. The Shares were recently acquired by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Lending, LLC, upon the liquidation of a related party hedge fund.

Milton “Todd” Ault III, the Company’s Executive Chairman, stated, “The return to treasury of the Shares is a benefit to all stockholders, reducing the Company’s outstanding capital stock. The Preferred Shares represented nearly 24% of the outstanding shares of that series of preferred stock, and the significant reduction in preferred dividends payable bolsters the financial health of the Company going forward. Additionally, the recently announced highest single monthly run rate from Bitcoin mining operations of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc. (“Sentinum”) is a direct result of our focused and efficient operational strategies and our commitment to enhancing the Company’s financial stability. Looking ahead, we anticipate even more achievements in 2024 for Sentinum, driven by the favorable Bitcoin market trends and the planned strategic relocation of approximately 6,500 of our mining rigs to Sentinum’s self-managed Montana facility.”
